Zachabt Tat'lob, ''Old Hough and Ready, ia expected ia Loutsrillö this vreek. He will pass our city and we think it would he serving him just right to salute him with a few rounds. The faithful old soldier and patriot deserves 11 the attention that cap be paid to him by the people. he is one of them. Os the Looc Out. The Marshall of Louistiile was in our city on yesterday hunting up 8CamP who had committed a forger in that place for aix thousand dollars and made off with tbe spoils. The Marshal traced the chap to ou r city but here the scent grew cold sad tbe chase "wraa given up. ArrAtRS is TC6PAS. We learn fiom the New Orleans papers that at the latest dates the town of Tuspan was menaced by the Indians, who bad risen in insurrection, and bad accumulated a force of nearly eight thousand men near the place. Tbe greatest consternation prevailed, and the. population was continually under arms. At Tamiagua the Iudiaus killed several whites, and were about to execute oth ers, but a company of horse went to their res cue. The war steamer Vixen, lying near Tus pan, sent a company of marines and some ammunition to aid in the defence of the town. Oue of our armed schooners was moored at the bridge, ready to open a fire upon the Indians as soon as they appeared. Preparixo for Returjsiso. The N. 0. Mercury of the 12th says: "On Saturday the .Quartermaster engaged the ships Sabatis, Rockall, Timoleon, Edgar, and Mary Pleasants; the bark Florida and the biig Othello. Several other brigs and schooners were taken, but we are unable to obtain names. The rate paid for the above named vessels is, from all we can learn, 810 to $11 per ton, with the exception of the Timoleon, which gets 812; the ships furnishing wood, water.. dec. There were sev eral other vessels partially engaged, and our gallant troops will soon be removed from the tcene of their triumphs. . Eager tor the Frat. Gen. Scott relates . fact in regard to our troops, when on their march to the capital, which speaks volumes for the spirit which animated them. When the order was issued for detailing all who were able to march upon the capital, it was found that they numbered nearly 9,000 men, and the rest were left in the hospitals, and in garrison, At Ayotla, a vrtsk afterwards, the armr num - 47 be red 9,800 men over eight hundred invalid rod escaped from the hospitals and garrison at Puebla, determined to die ou the inarch, or be in at the taking of the capital. CCpIn Randolph and the adjoining counties of North Carolina, there is a great excitement In consequence of large quantities of gold being found. There is but little doubt but the de 'posüesof gold ia our Southern States, are ex tensive, but whether these depesites will add to tbe wealth of the country, is wore doubtful. In searching for gold, more Labor may be ex peuded in the bowels of tbe earth, than would raise from its surface produce of more value than the gold. .7(X2T"A Presidential Wak asd a Locoroco Tarift. Tbe cost of . the Mexican ' war, - in money, is generally estimated St aot'less than 8100,000,000. And a writer in Hunt's Merchant s Magazine, estimates that the balance of trade against tlie United States, at the close "of the present financial year, will not fall short jf 810,000,000. Verily it is high time there were new men. and a new policy, in the National Administration. '

OCjT We return bar thanks to our good Whig

friend, L. D. S., of New Harmony, for a list of seven new subscribers to our Weekly Journal. Our list of subscribers in New Harmony is now within six of the number it reached during the exciting campaign of 1840, and we confidently believe it will greatly exceed the list of that year. All that is necessary is for our friends and the friends of the People's Candidate old Rough asd Ready to use a little exertion and we are satisfied our list, large as it is in that quarter, can and will be doubled. We are now publishing the large t weekly pa per in the State, containing more reading matter than any other, and at extremely low rates. Besides devoting ample space to political matter, we ere able to give all the latest foreign and domestic news in detail, literary, mechan ic and miscellaneous intelligence, and advices from all the principal markets, to the latest hour, &c. - In a few weeks the Telegraph, con necting us with tba whole Union, will ba in operation to this city, when our facilities for early intelligence will be equal to those of any publisher elsewhere, and tbe benefit to our subscribers by our use of it, beyond calculation. In view of these facts, may we not confidently expect a verr large increase to our circulation in the surrounding country; and may we not still hope without laying ourselves liable to the charge of "riding a free horse to death" to receive the active support of those friends to whom we already owe so great a debt of grati tude. Remember, fiteuds, the exhortation of our gallant old leader to bis troops on the blood field of Buena Vista "Let us stand by one another," But there is one thing we hope our friends won't neglect the one thing needful. With out prompt advance payments large lists of new subscribers are so many sumbling blocks in our way, and the larger such lists are, the more difficulty do we experience in filling or ders. The very low rates to which we bare reduced the Journal will not justify us in em ploying a collector. We are satisfied our friends do not intend to "do things by halves,' and they will, now that the matter is thus plainly stated to them, see to it that we have no cause of complaint. The Fourth ik New Habmost. Those of the "Sons" of this city who purpose visiting New Harmony on the Fourth of July and we believe the number will be large will have a pleasant time no doubt. Tbe good citizens of that place are celebrated fax and near for their hospitality and attention to visitors; in this respect they out-Virginia Old Virginia nerself, in tbe happiest mood that ever came brer her sons in her brightest and best days. But we duTntset down to praise the New Harmon j people the don't need it. Erery one hereabouts know all about them, and is proud of them as neighbors. That's enough: We merely wish to. say that we have received a line from a friend in that place, who writes us as follows: "We are making extensive preparations for Uli doings here on tbe 4th. The larger Hall will be elegantly fitted up for a grand ball. On the night of the 3d, the Thespians will give a performance. There will be a procession, of course, an oration, &c, and a splendid pic nie, so that our invited guests, if they come in time, will be entertained with all the festivities of our town. There will be a larce dele gation from Mt. Vernon, and our Division has extended invitations to Newburg, Rockport, Henderson, etc. We hope we shall be able to greet every Son in Evansville. There! if after that, any choose to stay awar it will be their own fault! and we hope they may, as we are sure they will, regret it for the remainder of their days.

The block was one of the most valuable in the city of Galves ton. British Navigation Laws Proposed Re peal. The British House Commons a red is cussing a proposition to modify and repeal their navigation laws. The measure is propos ed by theGovernraent, and, if successful, will effect important changes in the British marine and have an influential bearing upon . Amer ican interests and American commerce. Toe prominent features of thenew measure are thus explained by the New 101k Ex p:es: The coasting trade of tbe mother country is to be reserved unaltered; eacn coiouy.nowever, being allowed to throw open its coasting trade to foreign countries, by consent of tbe Queen. Canada, for instance, being allowed, under this condition, to open tue navigation of the river St. Lawrence.! Wiih this exception of the coasting trade, and tbe further one ot the home fisheries tit be ing designed to preserve the British interests, by an indirect mode, tbe fisheries on the coast, but throw entirely open the deep sea fisheries so as to enable American whalers for instance to carry their cargoes for home consumption in- . i r. l .i . io ureai riiainj wuu inese two exceptions, tbe whole of the rest of the ' navigation laws are proposed to be abrogated and swept from the staute; at tne same time it forms part of the new measure, as embraced emphatically in the or j dual resolution, that the Queen in Coun cil is empowered to refuse any foreign power any participation in the advantages of the home or carrying trade, or the colouialor inter-eolo-nial carry m trade, unless upon the - basis of an entire reciprocity.

THE RATIFICATION CONVENTION. THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. Approval of the Nomination, THE HERO OF BUENA VISTA, AND THE STATESMAN OF NEW YORK. The ineatherinz of the populace from all quarters of the country, into council for tbe consideration ana rauncauon oi tue uuuuualions of the convention, took place last evening in Independence Square. It was a fitting place for tbe occasion. And the square pre sented a spectacle which will never be forgot- . . a. ten d loose wno witnessed u. Neither trouble nor expense was spared by the committee of arrangements, in the prepar lions for this convention of the people. Against the rear window of the Hall of Independence was erected a vast stand, the floor of which was some twelve feet above the ground. It was very capacious, containing ample accomodations for the large number of , ii i secretaries ena vice presiuents, as wen as me distinguished speakers present from all parts of the Union, and the numerous reporters of the daily press, aa well as tbe committee ol arrange meuU.. At the southeaster! and southwestern gates of the square were also erected very Urge stands , all like the main stand, covered and well lighted. At this meeting the earliest members present were the Baltimore delegation, over a thousand in number, with banner and band. They were enthusiastically cheered. There were, besides, delegates present from many of the rural districts of this State, as well a from the remote sections of the country. The assemblage was a very large one, probably the largest ever seen in this city. Around each stand were gathered, in the course of the evening, thousands of attentive spectators eacn garnering maKing a mucn larger array tuan many common political meetings. The soul-stimm strains of martial music the flash of fire-works, the report of guns ever and anon, and tne glare of Urummond lights mingled with the pealing shouts of the assem bled thousands, and tbe eloquent tones of the favorite orators of the party. We present below but a meagre outline of the proceedings regretting that want of time and space obliges us to be brief. Tbe meeting was called to order by I'obt Morris, Esq., of Philadelphia, who nominated .t ii e rr tI L ; tne iouowing uu ui omcers, wuicn was uiuui mously agreed to: President- F. JOHNSON, of ra.

On taking the chair Mr. Johnson made ' a few very peUinent remarks. The names o the Candida' et were received with great cheer inz. He said that no good Whiz would with hold his support from the ticket which had been nominated. He concluded by introduc ing to tbe meeting ex-uovernor Morehesd, o N. C, the president of the nominating couven tion. ' Mr. Morehead spoke in eloquent terms o the Candida tea before the nominating conven tion. At ine roenuon oi tne name 01 viav an electric cheer burst forth. He condemned in strong language the treatment of General Scott, and said that his country would yet place him in a higher men of fame than the miserable ad ministration was willing to allow him. He then did iustice to old Zack, the man who nev er lost a battle, and who never surrendered. He excused himself after a few remarks, ou account of his exhaustion from his official du ties. Gen. Barrow. Teno., was next Introduced He said he was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but there were those on the stand wuo would bear mm witness, tnat on toe anniversary of the Battle of Buena Vista, the22d of cebrnarv, in this city, he had proclaimed amidst darkness and cloud, that the Whig convention would nominate Zachary Taylor and now he would prophecy, although he was not a seveuth son, nor the son of a seventh son that the people would elect Zachary Taylor i resiueut. iie next commeuaeu me narmoay of Ihe party in regard to the nomination, and firoceeded at some length in a brilliant strain, le sxke of Clav and Wedster till tbe whole assembly again burst in spontaneous shouts. ... f . . Arte iouowing resolution were men reau dt W. S. Price, of Philadelphia: 1. Resolved, That the Whigs of the United States, here assembled by their representatives, heartily ratify tbe nomination of Gen. ZACH ARY TAYLOR, as President, and MILLARD FILLMORE, as Vice President of the United States, and pbtdge themselves to their sup port. 2. Resolved, That in the choice of Gen. Tav lor as the Whiz candidate for President,, we are glad to. discover sympathy with a great popular sentiment throughout the nation a sentiment which having its origin in admiration of great military success, has been strength ened by the development, in every action, and every word, of sound conservative opinions, and of true fidelity to the great examples of

f.rmer ilav: and to the principles of the con

stitution as administered by his founders. 3. Resolved, That Gen. Taylor, in saying that had he Toted in 1844, lie would have voted the Whig ticket, gives us the assurance (and no better is needed from a consistent and truth-speaking man) that his heart was with usattbecrUisof our political destiny, when Hesry Clat was our candidate, and when not only Whig principles were well defined and clearly asserted, but Whig measuresdepended on success. The heart that was with us then is with us now; and we have a soldier's word of honor and a life of public and private virtue as the security. 4. Resolved, That we look to Gen. Taylor's administration of the Government as one con ducive of peace, prosperityi and union. Of peace because no one better Knows, or uas greater reason to deplore what he has been sadly on the field of victory, the horrors of war, and especially of a foreign and aggresive war. Of prosperity now more than ever needed lo relieve tbe nation from a burthen of debt, and to restore iudustry agricultural, manufactures and commercial to its accustomed and peaceful functions and influences. Ofuatoi because we have a candidate whose yery position as a South western man, reared on the banks of that great stream whosY tributaries, natural and artificial, embracevhe whole Union, renders tbe protection of the interests of the whole country his first trust, and whose taried duties in past life have been rendered, not on the soil, or uuder the flag of any State or section but over the whole frontier, and under the broad banner of the nation. 5. Resolved. That standing as the Whig par ty does, on tbe broad and firm platform of the constitution, braced by all its inviolibie and sacred guarantees and, compromises, and cherished in the affections because protective of the interests of the people, we are proud to have, as tne exponent of our opinions, one who is pledged to construe it by the wise and generous rules which Washington applied to it, and who has said (and no Whig desires any other, assurance) -that he will make Washington's administration the model of his own. " ' 6. Resolved, That as Whigs and Americans, we are proud to acknowledge our gratitude for the great military services which, beginning at Palo Alto, and ending at Buena Vista, first awakened the American people to a just estimate of him who is now our Whig candidate, in the discbarge of a painful duty for his inartlinto the enemy's country was a reluctant one; in the command of regulars at one time, and of toluuteers at another, and of both combined; in tbe decisive though punctual discipline of his camp where all respected and loved him: in the negotiation of terms for a dejec ted and desperate enemy; in the exigency of actual conflict when the balance was perilously doubtful we have found him the same, brave, distinguished and considerate, no heartless spectator of bloodshed, no trifler with human happiness; and we do not know which to admire most, his heroism in withstanding the assaults of the enemy in the almost hopeless fiolil if Itnna Tistjtinriiin'iSnT in ppnprniw sorrow over the graves cf Clay, Ringgold, or of l rain or in giving in roe ueai oi Dauie terms of merciful capitulation to a vanquished foe at Monterey, and not being asliamed to avow that he did it to spare women and children, helpless infancy, and more helpless age, against whom no American soldier ever war. Such a military man whose triumphs are neither remote nor doubtful, whose virtues these trials have tested, we are proud to make our candidate. 7. Resolved, That in support of such a nomination we ask our whig friends throughout the nation to unite, and to co-operate zealously, resolutely: with earnestness in behalf of our candidate, whom calumny cannot reach, and with respectful demeanor to our adversaries, whose candidates have yet to prove their claims ou the gratitude of the nation. The resolutions were unanimously adopted. Speeches were then made by Geo. R. Rich ardson, Esq., of Md., Col. Haskall of Teno., Mr. Sherman, of 0., Mr. Maxwell, of N. Y., and a number of others. At the Southeastern stand. Gen. James Irrp,nn..i,.;. M.,,1 T rs I I.. n-' ' u ...i i . . made a wry effective speech, in which he al-1 mueu 10 uis course in tne convention, anu said that what ever might be bis preference, 1 he went heart and hand for the nominee. ' Speeches were also made by Mr. Walker, of Ia.. Col. Rivera of R. I. the PoimhkcenM ! af i . t as fri . a D.acasmun, anu ftir. ivnnney, oitnc city oi New York. Tbe latter gentleman had been an ardent supporter of Henry Clay, but yielded his heartby support to tbe nominations. His remarks were eloquent and elicited frequent applause. Gen. Barrow, of Tennessee, Mr. Sweet of 111., Col. Duncan of La., Mr. Cogdil of la., Mr. Bay of Ohio, Mr. Parker of Mass., Mr. iSarringer oils. C, Mr. Eeddmger, of Ivy., and others followed. ... At the Southwestern Stand, Col. FowleT, of j N. Y., presided, and made an able 8ieech. He was followed by Ml. Batcheldor,of Mass., Z.C. Lee, of Md., r.x- Gov. Stratum of JN. Jersey, Hon.

Y Dr. Cowdell of Ia., Mr Ricardo of Ia., and Mr. Chandler of Mass. . At about half past eleven o'clock, and while the speaking was still going on, a splendid piece of fire-works was set off in the mam walk of tbe square, being a radiant star. in the centre of which was emblazoned the names of "Taylor and Fillmore," in letters of fire. The spectacle was grand, and was re ceived with terrific shouts. At a late hour tbe meeting separted. in fine spirits, and lull ot zeal lor the nominee?. Matkixomaz. Lqttxby. A curious lot tery came off lately in a small village of France. A very popular and handsome, but poor young man, put himself as one prize in ten thousand tickets. His advertisement was addressed particularly to widows consolable and maids without dowers. The town of X ,and all the neighboring towns, were absotbed in this interesting game of hazard, snd tbe tickets were all sold m a very few days. At the time of drawing, a young lady who had no interest in the affair, beyond the frolic turned out to have the prize num ber. 1 lie young man immediately called to offer her the winnings, and they fancied each other so violently at first sight, that they were married within twenty four hours! The lottery bad of course, produced a fortune of a hundred thousand francs, and thet began the married state with promising out fit. There remain however, consequently, nint hundred snd niuety-nine dames and damsels, (blanks,) in 'the village of X and the neighborhood, who are on tbe look cut lor a husband.

Death of Benjamin Wheeler. Every citizen of Boston is familiar with the form ol old Be dj min Whoelcr. For a whole generation, says the Traveller, he has been ao

old man, and worn the samo appearance of anxious care, as be shuffled through the streets on his rounds to collect his' weekly rents. He has at length yielded his clutch upon the riches ofoarth and gone where he could carry nothicg with him. He died yesterday morning at ihe advanced age ofDO." In February last be had a fall which occa sioned an internal injury, from the effects of which he never recovered. He bad not em oloved a physician for three score and ten years. When 24 years of age, he submitted to medical advice, but at such an expense of time and money, that be could never be in duced to repeat the experiment. Though Dosaeased of creat wealth, h'u habits of life were penurious in the extreme; and his watchfulness over his property was so v igilent that for many years he has never slept at night.
