The statement that the State Department
had made estimates for an increase of the
salaries Of our ministers and consuls is erro-
neous. These salaries are fxeo by law and
the estimates of the Department are based on
the existing laws.
The statement that Gen. Forey or the
French Minister were furnished by the State
Department with Gen. ScOtt's military maps
Of Mexico. or other information, preparatory

persisted in keeping him in command, and
now the disastrous consequences of his doing

Dependency and gloom are fast settling down
upon the people, who see their cause sacrificed
by incompetent officers, without even the hope

not, and unless they can see some prospect Of a
speedy change, they may despair Of the cause,

Western North Carolina, Northern Georgia and
Northern Alabama submit TO the despotism that
incomPetency has brought upon them.
