IVIany of our friends have urged us to do so ; and but one er two have made any objections. We see no harm that can result from the net, and a possibility of some good. We shall indulge in but very few reflections, leav.ng the milter, as we noted it down daily, to be j dged of by those interested. We are aware thnt we lay ourselves open to the attacks of the pre judiced and ignorant; but for all such, we care but! little v. htle "alive and kicking."

Kather worse in the morning. Tok anotiter emetic, which gave but little relief, j Pain universal and severe. Extremities cold, pulse '. hard aud irregulir. Took a strong stimulating enema, and commenced taking composition and lobe- 1 lia, which was continued through the day, with much ! relief, taking a wineglassful every half hour. At dirk, increased the lobelia, and vomited finely, all pain being removed, and a free perspiration. During the night, an intolerable pain in the region cf the heart, (caused as I believe by getting chilled from thruwing eff the bed clothes.) Friday, -lh. Extremities cold, pain in the breast, pulse irregular, tongue thickly coated. Prepared the steam bath, and while steaming, every pain vanished ns by magic. Alter a goed shower of cold water, went to bed. The eruption then showed itself from Lead to foot, in small red specks, similar to "prickly heat." Felt remarkably easy. Took composition, cayenne, golden seal and lobelia, every half hour. Up all day, partaking freely ot gruel, well seasoned with cayenne. ikwels kept regular by enemas of composition, nervine, (ladies slipper) cayenne and slippery elm. Tongue Leginning to clear and pulse regular. Refreshing sleep during the night. Saturday, lö'A. Pustules all developed, retaining the red color, nt d slightly inflamed around the base. Steamed about 7 o'clock, when they flattened down and assumed nearly the natural color of the skin, and the inflammatory appearance gone. About noon, began to fill again, with slight inflammatory appearance. Pur-sued the same treatment, andjelt well. Sunday. Pustules very distinct, pointed, and rapidiv tilling. Some swrenes- and a triflin" swell.ng about the face. Continued the same treatment. Mnnday, Yith. lY.stiiUs presented a shining, ghzid appearance, pointed aud inflamed at the base.

We called, a few days since, at Dr. 3Iuiiseli',j Daguerrcotyping cstablishmeht, in Norris's buildings, and wan surprised at the perfection to which the art is brought. We have never peen likenesses which excelled those which he had taken ; and wc observed that he had obtained all new und improved instruments end articles, together with professional assistance, by which his success is sure and certain. Our citizens should certainly call and examine for themselves, even if they have no intention of having their beauties' copied for the gratification of themselves and friends. They might change their minds, as the Doctor's charges are very luur.

Cov. Voiin- f lev York. In Iiis niiii;il int sjiiig.., the Whig (Governor of New ork, who i reckoned among tin: Taylor men, comes out strenuously in favor ( a timorous prosecution of the war, and is 2i.:ioijIv sustained bv the Albany evening III- " J 9 Jt.urm.l, a Iffiilinjr vl,ig p.-,P,.r. Tlio Washington correspondent of the Union comments upon and extracts from the Message, as follows: The M sae of (Governor Young is in town. Its most absoihing topic is the war questj m,whi h his excellency has treated in a manner that has awakm.d fm hi tuesag an interest not h. für f.; 1 1 On tins great point hu takes ground moderately, hut riot the less decidedly, against his party, and against Mr Clav and the. I resolutions. He reiter.it the language, used by him in May, lSlfi, in the hou-e of assembly, "w hen the first intelligence was rereived that American blood Ind crimsoned the. waters o the Uio Grande," which, as coming from a wliis leader and a whig governor, in tins quarter, is so reuwii k:ib!.' as to be worth q'joimg in lull. "That our country i in a state of actual war with Mnico, none can doubt. The causes of that war are to me now unimportant. All here know that, from the first, I was opposed to the annexation of Texas; that is now a matter loregone. Texas is now bone of our bone, and

tlesh ot our Mesh, and thev who invade any portion of that .emintrv; invade the United States; and I will as soon vote hr the enrolment of our tro ios to protect the . . . - 1 soil ot le.!.s. as to oroterl t o-siM.t on whit i I now stand. Whether the conduct of the government, in ordering - - . . army to march into that eountrv. has heen Mich u It should be, or not, is also a foregone conclusion. Our country has been invaded, and lhe blood of our eitizens has hren shed; and I will sustain that eountrv and those citizens against a frein enemv , at all tunes, and under all circumstances, rilit or wnni " Oti the vexed question of indemnity he is still more decided, and follow s substantially the positions assumed bv the President in his mesae: "The country, nlwavs indisposed to war, would receive with joy intelligence of an honorable peace; but to render a peace horinrulde, I think she would demand, and has a right to require, that it shall Ijh a. cmp-mied with sin-h indemnity as, upon the page of history, will be evidence ol an acknow ledgment by Mexico nf the Miperiority of our armies; but of the character and extent of kucIi indemnity I may not speak in this communication." Again lor it is b ird to get away from a whig governor who does up the work for us 'hicofocos" m tlcctually: With th return ol peace will come a season of calm deliberation and searching inquiry the causes, the conduct, and the result of the war may lie then properly and usefully int etigated; but until oi.r enemy shall have been subdued, discussion intolviu collisions of opini"ii nt home, cannot fail, bv exciting false expectations in .Mexico, to enil arrass negotiation Jor peace. 1 contldent ly mi-., therel-.re, tint such di.eussi will not be allowed in distract our deldi ratio,-. s so long as there is an enemy in the field. f. e assured that we shall look only to lhe honor of our flan." This is, indeed, talking right out, John Young! It (fleet upon the w higs at large may be judged by the deep wrath with which it i received by the Tribune ol this morning. Of course it is equit ah-nt to a declaration of reolt iigaint ''llarrv of the West," and tint Gov. Young, in tie schism which, for the first time in our politics, seriouslv dmdes the Weed and Greely sections of the whigs, prelers to j.iin his fortunes with the former. The cahiruu thickens; we shall see sights soon. FuxFtRAL Honors. On Wdnesdiy list, one of Capt. Cochran's ileceised recruits was buried. Rut an hour or two of n-dico was had, when a respectable squ td, composed of members of the discharged regiments of Indiana volunteers aud 3Iarion Guards pn mptly volunteered to perform the funeral honors. Late Lt. Wallace was unanimously chosen to command on the occasion, at.d never have wc seen the same ceremony better performed or more impressive; and Si far as we have heard an expression of public opinion, it justifies this statement. Although out of its proper place here, we feel bound to say, that the conduct of a "Mexican Whig" on that day will not scn be forgotten; and to state, that even if the deceased had entered a ''bad and irirkrd service," his soul was then before his God ; and while we did honor to his remains, it ill became us to questio.i the propriety of such a ourse fur fear ice might detract from our "dignity as citizens! Since tic above was penned, we have received the follow ing card from Capt. Corn ran, who, with his Sccant, Dunham, attended as mourners : For the Indiana State Sentinel 31 ;t. Cm ATM an; Si u : Allow me through vonr rnlnmnsto tender r,,v thinks to yourself and those J young gentlemen of your city, who, on yesterday, so kindly stepped forward nnd volunteered to do "last honors" to the re-maun of my unfortunate soldier. I would also compliment them for their sohpcrly bearing and deportment. Their crU i jnance was not less creditable than the sympathetic feeling which prumptei them to the service. L. COCHUAN, Capt. 4th liegt. Ind. Vols. Feb. 3, 1813. - The True Spirit. The following is from an ex-editor of our State. It speaks for itself; and we siy here that we believe there is as great, if not a gruittr, share of patriotism among the fraternity, as exists in any other class. We wish our friend luck, laurels, and all good things to which he may aspire. And we assure him that he will not be forgotten that he shall occasionally meet a "Sentinel," not of the enemy, foreign or creole whig or 3Iexican but just such a one as he wants . Our "boys" tender their best wishes also. St r. a. ai eh Jamestown, Jan. 30, 181". 3IrsRs.

When I say that our company is one id" the finest that his embarked for the 'uemy's country, from any part of our Union, it will only amount t what many eminent and good men have said f r 11s. Our Captain ts a regular from West Point. He entered the military school while a m nor, ami has never voted ; hut you may set him down as a war man, for such is his own declaration. As a commander, he is the admiration of the whole troop. Pejng destitute of that austerity of manners which is so disgusting in the eyes of all true Americans, he has wo,, our good will without even an 'l'rt ; and were you to converse with him, your opinion would be that the social throng had been his tutor and not the military tactician. We hiv.ciiti boa ui 4 brass cannon and 2 howitzer guns, and '2 rifle wall pieces, carry. tig six balls to the pound. Our number .f Imrsfs is PsJÖ, and 111 men, and our orders are to join Scott.

Judging from the contents of the pres. nt number, it bids fair to sustain its huherto excellent reputation, when under the charge of Uev. 3Ir. Peechek. Its extremely low price, (only fifty Cents a year in advance,) puts it in the power of every farmer in the State to subscribe for n copy, nnd we think they ought to do so. It is published by J. D. Defkels, Esq. of the Journal. Gen. Taylor o Temperance. Gen. Taylor, in a letter addressed to Jacob Carter, Eq. of Piston, 31.1-s., on the subject of Temperance, says, I nm not an opponent to the use of ardent spirits." The old General knows how to fish (for votes) as well as fiht. The editorial W P. V, W. A.N, not to mention the G.'s before the other initials will support him, no doubt, all the better in consequence. Any thing for votes, where they can get their hands in the the public crib to t,atlsfy their rapacious maws ! Wc admire such consistency. Three deaths from starvation recently rccurred in Philadelphia! Can such a facf need comment in this land of liberty und plenty !

You may take it for granted, beyond cavil or dispute, that Mr. Trist has sent tt) Washington a pro ject of a treaty, (net a treaty,) and that the same had been submitted to the President aud discussed in Cabinet council. d. You may take it for granted that Mr. Trist had no direct and positive authority to make a treaty, and that, consequently, the whole, thus far, is a mere ex parte arrangement between 3Ir.

can tell you at present, lhe treaty is nut quite as good as (ien.

On this subject Major llliss might perhaps enlighten the public. That the project of a treaty does not stop the fight ing in .Mexico is evident from lhe last advices, and that the project itself does not contain any tangible guarantee of the future, seems to be highly probable.

Such is not the Ja:t. The reinforcements for the city of Mexico, the hist being Gen. J'utler's column, noiv arrived there, are less ttnti fci 00 men ; the number of elFt-ctives in the ciiy previous to their arrival fell considerably short of 7i'U' ; 1I1? number at d.flrreut points on the road, as garrisons, de.s not exceed 2.ÖIK), and this is a large estimate, including the garrison at Yera Cruz Jl) all 17.Ö0H probably not ni.re than 10,0t 0. This i not conjecture, Lut what C"ines under mv ersomil knowledge. 1 trust, therefore, that Congress v ill grant the additional r. günents askeJ f.r by the President, wiih as iininy volunteers as he may see fit to call for. The rumor that was bro ight here recently, and which doubtless went off by tne last steauisiuo, that Gen. Patterson had marched with a strong column for Zaeetecas turns out to be incorrect. We iearu. however, that preparations had been nude for simultaneous movements in different directions, from the citv, of all the thsp säble force, and it is well understood that Gen. Patterson will move in a few days with a column at least t'OUU strong, towards Zicatecas. I have seen the oi ler directing the proper distribution of the sick of those regiments that are to move, into the severally named hospitals of the city. T.e direct and best road to Z icatecas passes through Queretaro, the present seat of the .Mexican Congress, tuende through San Luis Potosi, and thence to Zicatecas. The distances are from Mexico toijucretaro 100 miles; thence to San Luis LA) more, aim Iroin San Luis to j acatecas 7.i in ull ahmt 'MÖ mile It is understood here that orders have just been re ceived to make use td the lirst arrival of troop- here to march upon and hold Orizaba, a city of about 2.",(M0 inhabitants, distant from Vera Cruz about 70 miles a tine, healthy and mountainous country, and in a fertile and important section of Mexico. If this be true, and I do not doubt it, Col. Pankhead, at present here, will be probable commander of the expedition. There w ill be no resistance, if sufllcieiit force, bay ltiOO men, compose the column.

If these gentlemen want U aid and assist the enemy, why d they not go into their ranks at nee!

Is there no way by which our friends at home can put a stop to the unpatriotic conduct of (Mtliticiaus, who would sacrifice the who.'e nrmy in order to give tone to the next presidential election!
