"Not Casar's weal, but that of Rome." THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1846. (7- A letter from one of the Spencer Greys written to a gentleman in-Corydon from Belknap, says there aro a good many men belonging lo' the Indiana Brigade dying at that place, caused mainly by exposure and the use of liquor. Kent, who' is" lutler of the 2d Regiment, and who has Dunning for his assistant,, is selling the meanest kind of whiskey, in vast quantities, at 75 cents per quart. An honorable business, truly, for the Lieutenant Governor of Indiana to be engaged in. The writer finds great fault with the officers from the highest to the lowest. He says "They begin to show their incapacity for command more plainly than ever." "General Lane,11 he says, "lays and lounges about the camp, doing nothing and knowing less, and not trying todo anything for the men.1' We hope such reports, which have been rather frequent of late, are exaggerated. - Captain Tucker, of company K. of the Mounted Regiment intended for California, has been recruiting in our town for several weeks past, and on Sunday last shipped about "twenty men for St. Louis.: We learn ti at his company is complete.The men obtained here were all fine look ing and went off in high spirits. Lieut. Nelson still remains at the rendezvous in this place. a lie is recruiting for the" infantry service and has a number of recruits who are good looking and will, if they ever have a chance, do the State some service. Great Auction Sale! By order of Jas " Kl Polk. The Cleveland Herald says: "The question so much agitated in 1844, "Who is James K. Polk?" is ansered in the notice below. Sailors, sh'p owners, travelers Democrats and Liberty men, one and all, ponder upon jt, and remember,that during the three years reign we'arc yet to have of the Veto President, his sovereign will and pleasure is that the harbors may look out for themselves, and as great sums of money are wanted, to carry on our glorious war against Mex ico, and to buy Safes for our Sub-Treasury, and to payjhem their salaries, therefore, that all the pile drivers and crane scows on the Lakes, be sold forthwith a.t Auction, to the Jiighest bidder for cash. We expect daily to see an advertisement from our IriendCapt Stockton, that will read very much like what triotism, we insert without charge to the govlion of its finance. . ; ; Office of tub Punxrc Work, Racine, W.T., Aug 12, '3G.

' JAMES L. WOODSIDE, Division of Texas. The Houston Telegraph refers to a p-oposition to divide Texts, without delay, into two t ttes, the Brazos being the boundary between them, and adds that application has been made, on the sugestion of members of Congress, to the Texas Senators and Representatives to bring in a bill for that purpose. The real object of this movement is to swell the southern vote in the Senate. EPPES, THE MURDERER. , .

OUR POST OFFICE The Mails, &c The

present arrangement of the arrival and depart ure of the Mails at this point, and the litile ac commodation to be a Horded the public by our Postmaster who acts by authority in the de livery of letters and papers after the 1st of next month, should induce our citizens of all parties to unite and endeavor, if possible, to secure a better arrangement. This is one of the most prominent points in the State on the river, easy of access at ail times, and one from which intelligence could be forwarded to the interior and through the Wabash valley sooner than from any other; and yet our mai's are so arrang ed and so limited as to be of no service to us or the surrounding country. It may not be generally known, to our citizens that the mail passes by our town in Steamboats six times a week each way, up and down the River, and the boats invariably stop at our wharf, while we receive only two mails a week by the river and sometimes not so many. Now it could add but little additional expense to the Government to provide us with a daily mail by the river each way, the coat of the mail bags and the trouble of putting up the mails would be alt; while the hi crease of mail matte;, we believe, would more than defray the additional expense, to say nothing ot the benefit to the people o' this place and the surrouning country by a more sure and speedy transmission ot intelligence. VVe were loath to move in the matter, knowiug that our postmaster was endeavoring to procure a daily river mail, and receiving assurances from time to time that better arrangements were contemplated by the Department ; but matters are now so bad, and likely to grow worse, that we deem it our duty to call the (.Mention of the public to the subject, that something may be done to have our mail facilities improved and increased. It will be seen by the notice in another column from our postmaster, that after the 1st of October the post office will be closed at sundown and the privilege which our citizens have heretofore partially enjoyed of receiving their letters and papers from the North on the same evening of their arrival is no longer to be extended to them. The Northern mail arrives, generally, between the hours of 7 and 8 P. M. and it has been customary to k-eep open the of flee until 9 oclock for the delivery of mail matter, and under the administration of Mr. Chute, our former postmaster, who was removed to make room for the present incumbent, the office was Irequently kept open until II and 12 o'clock for the accommodation of the public, and mails arriving at that hour of the night were often opened and . delivered. By whose request the contemplated arrangement of keep mails over twelve hours after their arrival be T fore delivering them is made we do not know. The public have some right to claim accommodation, yet one would think, seeing the manner in which our office is administered, that the benefit arising from its institution was intended to inure solely to the keeper. We hope our citi zens will take the subject into consideration and endeavor to have a different and better ar rangement. Let them meet in a body and ex press their opin ions freely to the Departmental - "XT-ran"' is I he title ola semi-month ly sheet, the first number of which was issued in our town on baturday week last. It is small in size and purely miscellaneous. . We were shown one number of the. first is sue which contained a moat silly, yet imperti nent article, reflecting upon those of our citi zen?, mule and female, who have attended the "singing school" conducted by a chap of the . - r t .... name oi iuornson, ana which article it is admit. led, was written by Morrison himself. Ti article might have passod for a poor attempt at wit written by any one else; but coming from the pen of the teacher it is grossly indecent and linperiineiit, and the dirty little scamp deserves to be ducked in every horse pond around the .i .i .i ... ... luvru, auu men uriven out or it. Were tt-not for the fact that it would gratify the vitiated tastes of the evil minded, we would publish the article just to show the public the vanity of Morrison, who imagines every lady he meets is hi iove wtui mm. tie a thing for our girls to tall in love with! the little bow-legged, big headed, snub-nosed, catfish-rnouthed, short-neck ed, goose-eyed, sheep-faced jack o'clubs, who is good for nothing but to sing fa, sol. la. and act the fool most shamfully whose wit is on par wiiu ins size and that is so diminutive that he would have to get or. the bottom of a tin cup to kick a duck. We wonder "if his mother knows he's out." At all events he'd better be out of this town, and that soon, else some of the girls may take it into their heads to give him sample of their affection. A NOBLE SOLDIER. Major Love, of the Ohio Volunteers, writ mg home, relates the following incident of Captain Patterson, of Belmonte County, Ohio. " r We have Capt. John Patterson in our rea. ? r ti . imenr, irem ueimonie county, w;io is as noble a man as ever lived. lie is is a neph ew otJohn Patterson ot Morgan county, and a cousin to Joseph McConnell's wife. Capt. Patterson was loo sick to travel, and was left at New Orleans. He started a few days af terwards on board a small vessel, in company with some of the Indiana troops. The ves sel was cast ashore On Padre Island, and all expected to be lost, as they had nothing but a small boat to go on shore with. The boat was lowered but they could not take but a few in, and even they were in a dangerous situation. Patterson was getting in the boat when one of the Captains of ore of the Indiana companies addressed him thus: 'Cap tain, il you get on shore sale, you will inform my family of my death and how it came about." Patterson immediately asked him if he Had a lamily; he replied he had. Patterson told him that he was a single man, and immediately got out of the boat and made the Indiana captain take hid place, remarking that he would stay and sink with the vessel; as he had no wife and children to mourn hisjloss. Fortunately, however, the storm abated; they raised a flag ol distress: a revenue cutter went to their aid and all was saved. The ve.sel is still upon the, bar I suppose a total loss." '

PEACE OR WAR. j We are frequently asked ns to the ebct likely to be produced by the arrival ol Sita Anna. in Mexico upon the peace o&he country. Every man his his own opiums. Most men think such an event will be lore favorable to peace. The shrewd and jtel-

ligent correspondent of the National ltelliencer, we see, thinks otherwise; ad he has some reason for it. Here is wht he says; : "Our moneyed men continue divide! in opinion as to the effect of Santa Anna'svisit to Vera Cruz. A decided majority, htvev er, so far as my information extends,' beieve it will operate in our favor. One cias of these politicians- have taken it luiaheir head that Mr. Polk was negociatingwith Paredes and that the arrival of SantiAn na would hurry the negotiation to a ivor abla issue. It is my mistoriune to titer"tain very different views on this subjet. When Santa Anna was m the midst f his difficulties, and apparently broken dovrt for ever, as the representative of the Luted States, General Jackson, then PresJent, rendered him a most essential sevice, which, if be had any magnanimity, tould lay him under everlasting obligations. 'But wiih such a temper and such seutitiietis and feelings as Santa Anna possesses, he will never forgive the favor and kindness tlat he experienced at the hands of our Presdent.j General Almonte is well known b pos sess strong prejudices against our Gjvernment and people. lie left the United states under great excitement and with a bitter hostility to our country. He is the inimate friend and associate of Ssnta Anna. In the ever-varying scene of life, he has adiered, through good and through evil repor', with an honorable fidelity tothe fortunes of his chief, and, it may fairly be presumed, he will have a commanding influence with him. If he has, what are we to expect from him?" In confirmation of the views thu3 eipressed by the writer above, we give a partgraph from a Mexican newspaper: From el Monitor Republicano of July 81 . The pretensions of the United States, are they not extremely moderate? They only require the Rio Grande for a boundary, from its source to its mouth, two' thousand miles in length; the payment of the old debt; the expenses ol the present war, amounting already to forty or fifty millions of dollars, and the Californias. What mod eration! We will see whether they will be aoie to ootain it. it is believed that. they (the Uti'ted States) will repent what they have undertaken; they did not expect the Mexicans would resist, and they confided in the Santa Anna party for friends; they mistake themselves; they will find in them their bitterest enemies. Oil account of their trifling victories they are exalted and vainglorious; they say they' are not afraid of the Mexican soldiers, and only dread the populace rising en mas'se to defend ; their religion and customs. They want to ap point Bishop Hughes to make known to our A.oU'.v-l.fw ).1ai J,li8.v .mr-.,rii,it.rt,...i..if. r. Ar. worifiy Archbishop will not listen o their solicitude. ' V Bishop Hughes has not been sent;- but if me Archbishop ot Mexico would nof listen to him, we presume he will not be likely to listen to the worthy Catholic Chaplains, who were sent out on a similar mission. It will be seen here that the Monitor declares that ihe .Santa Anna Party aro the 'bitterest enemies of the United Slates!" We think that no safe calculation can be made on the movements of Mexico. She i3 governed by factions; and the predominance of one or the other may induce peace or war. It is not improbable a battle.may be fought and won at Monterey. FROM THE PACIFIC. We published last week the rumor 'that Commodore Sloat had taken possession of California. The PhilJeiphia Ledger has received the lollowing information, which some person peculiarity favored by the Executive Government has evidently been allowed to copy or 1o abstract from the official correspondence on the subject to which it relates: - Washington, Sep. 1, 1S4G. I wrote you a week ago that our squadron in the Pacific would not long remain idle, having received positive instructions to be' up and doing. I now have the pleasure of commiiuicauug the following important news: Commodore Sloat entered the harbor of Monterey, and on the Gih of July issued his proclamation to the inhabitants of California, calling on them to remain peaceful, assuiing them that he did not come as the enemy ol California, but their friend. That they are destined to form a part and parcel of the. great Federal Union of the United Stales, cuj..ug mo game rignts and privileges as the citizen of those States.

The following are the principal itemsof news brought b this arrival: Nothing had been heard of the Texas reg ;mtni imHer Onl. Havs which some ten or twelve days previously had left Matamoids, fulher than that they had marched into San Fernando without opposition, to the tune ol Yankee Doodle a negro rrounted upon a jackass playing the tune most admirably up on a violin. The regiment had hardly got unsaddled says the Matamoras Flag, before the hoys had struck up an acquaintance with the ladies of the town, and on the first nighl of their entrance more than fifty fandangos were got up to do them honor. Their stay was one continued fete, and orr leaving, the heart of many a dark-eyed brunette went with them. Either in fighting or in love these Texians are hard to be?t. The command at Matamoras is under Co Clark, who has a portion of Regulars and the 3d re'l Ohio Volunteers, under Col. Curtis who are stationed on the bank of the river, at Fort Paredes and Fort Brown. Since the movement of the Army above to Camar go, the place seems very dull, and the jud cious order of Gen. Taylor, prohibiting the sale of liquors after the 15th, has helped to make il so, and made the place somewhat decent. Gen. Worth moved forward to Seralvo on the 19th with the 8th Inlantry, under Capt. R.. B. Scriver. of New Orleans, Capt. Dun can's battery and Bradford's company; and 2 compauies of Texian mounted men to convey back the mules, 700 in number. They were packed with provisions; Gen. T. throwin" forward his supplies to Seralvo. Capt. Duncan had previously been up there, and reported a beautiful wooded country the Mexicans weie willing to graut him all assistance in their power that there was plenty of water and forage for horse3,he met with a n agreeable reception. One Mexican, whom they met in the road in tie night, would not stop for llrem and they shot at him, when he threw his horse over the precipice and took to the charxftral. On their return they found the horse, vrtiich ha'd evidently belonged to an American, and no doubt had been stolen. . - Gen. Taylor is going to throw forward supplies to a place I think they call GanadelCe on this side of the San Juan; also, to China Carnargo, which is one of the most beautiful you can imagine. Gen. Taylor had a re view of all the regulars on the afternoon of the 17th, which was the largest ever had by our army since 1S15. They made a splendid appearance. The Regulars are apportioned as follows: Gen. Worth 1st .Division Sih Infantry, Capt. Duncan s and Liul. Bradford's compan tes. Col. P. F. Smith 2d Division 5th and 7ih infantry, Capt. Taylor's battery, and Capt. Elanchard's Volunteers. Lieut. Co Kiley 1st and 2d Infantry; Gen. Twiggs has all the Dragoons and the balance of the Artilley. Gen. Taylor will leave Carnargo in about ten days.- Col, Whitings and Muj. McRea have gone to Carnargo. A good deal of camp sickness confined, however, principally to the Illinois and Indi ana troops. The sickness yields to medicine and there are few deaths. THE MEXICAN WAR. It is the opin ion of. the people of this country that Mexico has no means to carry on the war with the United States, and that it must terminate very soon. A writer in the Nation! Intelligencer who has long resided in Mexico, has lived in different part3 of the country, and well acquinted with the resources of the country ,gives it as his opinion after stating the resources of the country, which show a far greater capability for conducting a war than we previously had any idea that the struggle will be a long one,and owing to the climate andsickness of that country, operat ing more severely upon our troops than a dozeu battles, a disastrous one to the United States. Ihereisbut one way, he thicks. of speedily ending the war. Hesays "To conquer Mexico the U. State should take a different plan from the present one less expensive and sooner concluded other wise it will not he finished for five year's to come. Itjcan be done only as follows: duriug the time that Gen. laylor is marching his army to the westward, send another army of ten thousand men, under a goid General, and take possession of the city of Tobasco, cut off their resources from Yucatan and Chi apas, and march on to tho city of Mexico, passing through the States of Vera Cruz, Oajaco, Puebla, and (hence into Mexico, a dis tance ot about six hundred miles, and thro the most valuable departments of Mexico. In taking possession of that valuable State of Puebla, Mexico is cut off from all communication with Vera Cruz and her south-eastern States. Gen. 1 aylor should take possession of Tamaulipas, New Leon, Zacatecas, Jalisco, San Louis Potosi, Guanaxauto, Queretaro, and both armies fall on to the city at one appointed time. If not, when" Gen T. gets to Monterey, he will be as near to the city of Mexico as ever he will get. The next ques-

and the

winter season coming on .a our u, simnlv answered thus: Let the heads ot Uepartments employ experienced Americans who know the dangers ot the uuu oi wencu, Kara rivfirs and Dorts, and its language, and fit out proper transports to conduct our brave hofirta in iff u IllBir uuuimv --- 11 land them in safety instead ot employing f fT.it-boats and dug-outs such as hnvA hppn chartering, and thus UUl I'lllVi w o risking iheir own valuable lives and destroy inr. thn Onvernment property. the money alreadv been expended in this war was sufficient to have wlnppea aiexicu i u ' . . - !.U dozen times. "Thn war with Mexico is not y et begun It will cost our Government a great oeai or i - r trouble and money, and, after all, what do we gain? A bankrupt country, with three mil lions of whites and hve millions ot staiK-ndK.-j ed Indians to support, as we are now doing for Texas, that owes all the world and has not one cent to pay her creditors nor ever will have. Yes, there is another way to conquer Mexico." Let our Government give our generals a courte oiannce to u.a.v on them. 1 will guaranty that in that case every Mexican officer wi II surrender, as Gen. Vega did; and take passage for the United States, and there remain as long as he has a banker to supply him with money and a passport to rove over the country." 07" Our readers are no doubt aware that General Gains has been discharged by the Court ofEnquiry. We now learn that he has been assigned to the comtaind oftheEistern Division. Tho Portsmouth . . . r paper say: ' We feci a high sense of gratification in an nouncing that lute on Saturday ev3bihg this distinguished officer received, through the Adjutant General's office at Washington, his, order fiom the proper Department to take" command of the Eastern Division, fixing his head-quarters either at New York,PhiladelphiaorTroy. He'has selected New York ar the most important point, and yesterday afternoon, the very first conveyance that Iclt, the Osceola, niter his orders were received, found Gen. Gains on his route to duty. We believe it would have been more agreeble to him to have been ordered back to ihe Western Division where he might have completed his plan3 of defence of the Mis sissippi river, but he says it is the duty ol the soldier to obey orders, not question them, and we took leave oThim,with the proudeonscibfsness that we were in the presence of a brave and ready patriot and soldier, whose only object is to serve his county, and pre serve unsullied his honor and his lame. The weather still continues exceedingly hot the thermometer ranges from 90 to 100. It has been the longest spell of hot weather we have ever known, and what is the more to be regretted, don't seem disposed to quit yet. rrre rrsrwioai laudation 01 -'Ait. Polk, in the Washington Union, even to the most immaterial of his "sayings and doings," has drawn from the Louisville Journal the following extended fjrmula, to be observed by the Court Journal in future notices of the occupant of the Whi.e House: Mr. Polk's College Life. The Govern ment editor, referring to this very intcrrest ing period of Mr. Polk's life, says: It is said, and we believe upon reliable authority, that when at college he never failed toatlend a single recitation, or to perlorm any other duly required of him As Mr. Richie's information, touching Mr. Polk's history while he wa3 at college, is so very meagre we will take occasion to refer him to some other incidents which oc curred at that time, that strikingly illustrate the grandeur of the man, and whieh will, we have no doubt, greaily delight the Govern ment editor. ''It is sard, and we believe upon reliable authority,' that, when Mr. Polk was at college, he was in the habit of retiring to bed when he felt sleepy, a virtuewhich he has ever since scrupulously maintained. Whenever he had a dreadful bad cold in the head he was occasionally seen to place his right hand in his coat pocket, and to draw therefrom a handsome flrg handkerchief, which he would deliberately convey to his nose, and then shutting both eyes, he would emit sounds which seemed like a remote imitation of a trumpet. He was never guilty of the sad impropriety of plunging his- legs into his coat sleeves, or of buttoning on his waistcoat bellyside behind, but, on the contrary, he invariably dressed himself with becoming graviiy, always putting on his stockings before he placed his feet in his boots, and pulling on his pantaloons before he put on his coat. He was ad-, dieted to eating when he grew hungry, and many a corn-dodger, after being well butter ed and duly masticated, descended to his stomach and performed good service to wards nourishing the physical man and en aiding him to undergo his studies without Jistress of body or mind. When his beard became very stubby, he called for warm water, with which, aided by a brush and soap, he contrived to make a lather, and rubbing it on his chin, he took up his razor, and, looking at the lathered reflection of himself in a mirror, he commenced the manly busi ness ot shaving himself to the great en hancement of his persoual beauty. Not be ing afflicted with left-hindedness, he held his book right side up whenever he wished to peruse the published thoughis of .great men. Atineume mat tne news ot the war waged for "free trade and sailors' rights" reached the college, several of his fellow students, having more patriotism thanc'svotion to literature, threw aside their books and marched off to the battle field, while Mr. Polk very juciciously put his books un der his arm and marched off to his home "Where rumor of oppression and deceit. Of unsuccessful and successful war." could not pain hi3 ear, and there he accu mulated much of that knowledge which has garnished the delightful essays and docu ments tiiat have since emanated from his brilliant pen.

Sentinel, ,an old out-and-out Democratic paper, Jackson and Vau Buren wogy-TrttTtjlr,-bcuauaq wg Could not I a e any of our readers believe that any old' Whig paper ventured to denounce Mr. Polk as a Nero, Mr. Polk, the friend of the Brit- ' ish Tariff, Mr. Polk, whoso veto-would havekilled it as dead as it did the French Spolia tion, or the Juver and Harbor Bdl. . . ' "Nero, a Roman Emperor, and the blacW est monster of blood and cruelty that stains', the pages of history, fiddled while Rome," the ancient capital of the Empire, wasburning and tumbliug iuto ruins.. There is no: cold-blooded depravity iu modern time, that approximates so nearly that of Nero, as that of certain Locofoco editors, both in and outof Pennsylvania, who are found chuckling and snickering &t the impending ruin that" threateii3 the great interests of the country,. -particularly those of our beloved old Com-'! monwealth. The Pennsylvanian that can laugh and snicker over the calamities of our citizens over the utter prostration of the. prosperiiy of the country, by a reckless act ; of legislation, may gain an infamous nolo-, riety, but it will be at the sacrifice of every . honorable feeling and patriotic emotion. . ' 'The developernent of Pennsylvania' vast resources was progressing with a rapid-, iiy that out-stripped the most sanguine ex-! pecialions. Capital was flowing in by millions into valleys from all parts of the coun-' try, turning her coal into silver, and her iron into gold, relieing more and more every ' year the burden of her taxes upon the farmers and mechanics, by dividing it with tha capital invested in her iron and coal works Y after she had expended a illions upon millions on works of internal improvements ta open up communications between the sea-, board and her inexhaustible stores of mineral wealth; after being bowed down for years' in gioom ana embarrassment: alter citizens had invested, hundreds nf milli nns in ftiA coal and iron business, greatly augmenting, from year to year the business and proceeds of her public works: when she had just begun to pay promptly her liabilities, and the' fond hope of a speedy redemption from her most burdensome and depressing public' debt, dawned upon her eye, just lifted from the dust, she is struck down in the full flow-' ing tide of her prosperiiy, by a miserable hordo of Southern vandals, aided tell it not in Gath! by some of her own sons! And to clap the climax, to out-tlercd the Palmetto Herods, self-styled Democratic editors lau&h at the groan forced from her by the blow! They even snicKer. at her lamentations,make merry at her grief, and wax witty over her calamities! "Oh! for a tongue to curse the slaves!"
