THE CHEAPEST PAPER IN THE WEST The undersigned will commence the publication of the f'i xiJuni" of their celebrated COON SKINNER, commencing aIotit the 'JOth of May, and published till tie Po-n.de ntial e'e ctiun, f nuking 'S) numbers previous, and one siiNseqiient, the last number of which wjll contain tie full oiheial vote of the United States and w hich of itself w ill be fully worth the subscription pri-'c. Their facilities for rapidly publishing a larger editiori have never equalled the present ; and they confidently look for a larger circulation than heretofore. The character of the Cooriskmncr heretofore, is an earnest uf what may Le expevted in future. No exertion "hall he spared to improve its contents embellished and otherwise. Its a:m will be to give a full supp-Tt to tlie nominees of the Riltimore Democratic C.-uv enti' ii, and in every fur and honorable way, to sustain the cherished principle- of the (J real Democratic party of the Union. The importance of general and correct information during the corning contest, when a higher than a Kingly offce is to he tilled by the rnbouglit votes of a free and mighty people, should bo apparent to all. That Truth may be disseminated, and Falsehood and Error detected and exposed, we shall endeavor to ex- ! ercUe more than ordinary vigilance, bringing to our aid .xperionco and every facility within our reach. j Nor is our Slate electiun in August of less impor-1 tance. Our labors for years past will all be nothing, j should we fail now in sustaining those measures which ; Lave ao prospered the Slate the past live years. Once ; more in tlr; foul embrace of federal whiggcry, and ; back we return to our former degraded position as a I free, sovereign and independent State ! And as ' 'eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," let us all p;.Ive, by upholding and sustaining Democratic doctrine. continue those measures which none will deny have been so beneficial to us as a State and a? citizens. To this end, the Coon Skinner will also be devoted, not doubting that the Democracy will manfully tustain themselves in the coming contest. Term.

Twoycarsago Mr. Hick9 was th whig representative ; but at that timo he. became disgusted with the whig leaders, left the whig party, and avowed himself a progressive democrat. The whig leaders, he thought, were too much tinctured by torv ism, as evinced by their course on the war with Alexico. (r-William Herod, formerly a member of Congress, has been nominated as a candidate for the State Senate by the whig managers of Eartholornevv and Jcnning. Air. Herod was a bitter opponent of Jackson and Van Ruren, though we now believe he goes it strung for Gen. Taylor. Gr Wc are indebted to Air. Hubbs, one of the rail road conductors, for slips of late foreign news. We thank him for his polite attention. The special election held in the district lately occupied by Hon. J. Q.

Cass frum the committee on military affaiis, repoitcd a bill to increase the compensation" of military store keepers. Air. Hannogan, from the committee on foreign relations, reported a joint resolution tendering the congratulation of Congress to the people of France. Mr. Allen then moved to take up the resolution which he had previously ottered, on the same subject, which the Senate, when it was last in session, refused to take tip, by a vote of til to 22. Upon this question an interesting delate sprung up, in which .Messrs. Footo and Allen participated. While Mr. Allen was speaking, a man sprung from the reporter's gallery on the eagle over Air. Dallas's chair, exclaiming, I deny the right of that mm to speak for Ohio." Further remarks were cut short by the prompt action of the otlicers. Mr. Allen's resolution was then taken up. The question being vn Mr. Hale's slavery amendment, .Air. Manguin moved to substitute the joint resolution of Air. Hanticgan, from the committee en foreign relations. IIofsE. Mr. Henley, from the committee on printing, reported a bill to print ten thousand copies id the Correspondence between (Jen. Scott, Air. Trist and the government. He spoke with great animation on the subject, and replied at considerable length to the late spet ch of .Mr. CJingman. He was interrupted (on leave) and interrogated by Messrs. Chngman and -McLean. The bill was then informally passed over, and, On motion of Mr. Vinton, The House resolved itself into a committee of the whole on the state of the Union, and took up the ALlitary Academy b.ll. Air. Vinton addressed the committee on the Fubject. Air. Stephens replied, and was followed by Alessrs. Henley ami Turner. On motion, the committee rose, and the chairman reported the bill w ithout amendments to the House. l ending a motion of Air. Dickey's to strike out the appropriation for visitors, the House adjourned. The following graphic account of the funeral of the victims of Louis Phi Hippo's tyranny, which we copy fr in Douglas Jerrold's Newspaper, will not fail to be read w ith interest. No people on earth, except the French, could get up an) thing so grandly dramatic: THE yjULlC FUNERAL. The ceremony took place on Sunday, and all Paris peeu-.ed to participate in it. The procession, however, had more' the character of military pomp than of funeral solemnity. Legion after legion of the National liuards marched on; theie were 5t'('0 volunteers also, und many old soldiers in the uniform of the empire; then; were deputies from the provinces, the pupils of tin? Lyceums, the Polish emigrants, and the workmen of Paris in the pruceesion or lining the streets, while every window on the line of the route was crowded, lbgs and inscriptions of all kinds being seen in the streets r displayed from the windows. The fum ral service took place in the Church of the -Madeleine. "The arrival of the Provisional (at the church)," says the correspondent of the Times, was hailed by the -1 ar.-oillaise, splendidly sung, with the accompaniment of u military band. Tue instrumental piece that followed, a funeral march by Cherubini, was comparatively weak; little of it was heard above the hum of the crowd; this was succeeded by the 'oath' chorus from MJuil'aume Tell,' a piece from the Crcntion,' (Mi.e Heavens are telling,') and the 4 prayer,' from -Mon in Egitto. Tue selection seemed to alternate mourning and supplication with the notes of triumph ; the cllect was sublime. As the music cersed, the funeral cars on which the cotüns, fifteen in number, had been placed, were ready to proceed ; as the firt of the si moved onward, the -Marseillaise was repeated; one verse was sung by the female voices alone, the men taking up the chorus, mix armes.' As the spirit-ctirnng strain arose, the whole crowd uncovered and remained so till the last of the curs, which were open, showing the forms of the cotlins under the black palls, had passed. The dramatic effect at that moment, the homage of the people, the fierce invocation to battle, and the stillnesj of death, 11 uniting, made the hearts of all beat fpiickcr with excitement. The scene for that moment was grata!, ahno-t overpowering; but from this point it sank, and fr the five hours the ceremony lasted, it did nut rise again above a spectacle." The interior of the church was hung with black i.nd lit with fifteen funeral l imps. Tne codius were dep sjed o:i a sarcophagus, Egyptian in style, on the side of which was inscribed, " Dead for their country !" Several bodies had, of course, been privately interred. There were live hearses, the last beim Joilovvcd by the mourners, the families of the slain, next to whetn rode a squadron of National (luards, and behind them marched tfie eleven members of the Provision il Government, the Alinistera and the civil uuthor';li H of ihe capital. The members of the (Joverninent were dressed in black and wore tri-colored sashts. Their presence everywhere excited the liveliest enthusiasm, and they were saluted with deafening cries i f " Vive la Kepublique !" to which they responded by waving their hats. After them advanced the patriots eondetnmd for political offences under the reign of L"uts Phillippe, amidst whom was the celebrated Hubert, who, being ill from long confinement, vas unable to walk, and had hired an open carnage to accompany his friend. Last of all came the car called that of "the Republic," drawn by eight white horses, pimply caparisoned, and bearing the symbol of the Republic, decked with crowns of laurel and tricolored banners. The corners of the pall were borne by representatives of the laboring classes, the National Ouard, the press, the army, the Invulides, the schools. &e. AI. Dupont, (de l'Eure) AI. Pagucrre, AI. Cremieux nnd M. li. Pages addressed the people. Throughout the whole proceedings no breach of the peace occurred, and but one spirit, a thorough Rep .blicr.n spirit, seemed to pervade the masses of the French capital. Tin; Suioon Law. Some misapprehension appears to prevail relative to the common school law, as pas-ed last winter. The House of Representatives pis-ed a bill lur the reorganization of the present s:hool system, to be supported in part by taxation additional to the existing school funds. The Senate declined acting on the House bill in consequence of the late day upon which it passed the House, time not being left for mature deliberation on the part of the Senate. The Senate consequently amnihd the House bill by striking it out from the enacting clatise, and inserting a substitute proposing that, ut the August election, the sense of the people should be taken, as to whether a majority were in favor of the passage of a law hereafter, providing for n rate of taxation, which, together with the present school fund, should be sufficient to establish and maintain free common fchools for a period each year of not less than three nor more than six months. Should the people vote in favor of a now system, the details of the law will depend altogether upon future legislative action. We have thought proper to say this much at present, because some of our correspondents appear to be in error on the subject.

n:03I 5II2X1CO. Puedla, Feb. 27, 1S13. IlJi tors Sc?: tine! Dear irs : I noticed in one of your papers the publication of a letter that 1 addressed to yo'i some time since from this place. My'attetitioii being culled to it i y a friend, I could not help observing several slight mistakes that had occurred in its publication, owii g, i:u doubt, to the indistinct and hurried manner In which it was written. I intended to have noticed the three lieutenants of the Marion county company; but I find that ns the letter is published, there seems to be but two of them spoken of Licuts. Pillbvan and Cotnbs, gentlemen who deserve notice for their uniform attention to their duty and for their gallantry in the field ; but not more so than Air. Lewis, a citizen of your county and a volunteer of the last year, who as first lieutenant of the company which it is my good fortune to command, has always been ready and efficient in his as. sistance. At Huamantla, though unwell atthetime, ho commanded the company in person, and led them into action: at TeeMa, Athxco and Tlascala, he distinguished himself in the position he then occupied. Feeling under obligations to him for his prompt discharge of his duty on all occasions, I seize this the first opportunity to repair any seeming though not actual neglect of his claims by inc. As it may k1 to you, and undoubtedly will be to the friends of those who have not written home lately, I subjoin a list of those of this company who have died or been discharged since our leaving Jellersonville. Samuel Liggins, died at New Orleans Hospital July J-J, in. George T. Edwards, died at New Orleans Hospital July 'J-s lAl.

Who must by this time have reached home, if they were able to reach it ; some of them being very feeble when they left here. Tne health of this; regiment generally is good, the only complaints under which the few who are sick are suffering, appear to be cold-, more? or less severe, and those most probably cansed by exposure on guard at inght. The climate has been very fine for the last three months, with scarcely u sign of rain, nearly resembling what wo call Indian Summer. It may he fPh.-ly said, that not a resolution has been offered til the floor of Congress censuring the course j nf the administration in this war, or declaring it unj constitutional, but what has been translated into ; Spanish and haw keel about the streets for sale to inspirit these people to prolong the war.

If peace is not ' now concluded, and the soldiers of this army die as ! name of that General who in the shert space of live months mc t and deieated the enemy in six u.liereni engagements, will not remain unnoticed. Von will be sorry to learn that the gold medal S which the olucers of his brigade intended to present ! to the General, was taken from the body ed Captain ' Kessler after his death, by a party of gucrrilleros. Ihe captain, with five otheis, on their way to the city, were attacked by this patty, numbering some fifty men. and himself, with two others, were killed Lt. Col. -Moore and Lieut. Rocssler and on? soldier, making good their escape to San Martin, near which place they had been attached. Captain Kessler who was unfortunately killed was a brave and intelligent officer, highly esteemed by all who knew him, and one whose loss is deeply felt here. Respectfully, yours, E. L. Prom A'ew Mexico .V Ilcnortctl ItalllcWe have advices from Santa Fo to the 17th February. On the 13th a rumor had reached Satita Fe that Colonel Rovvles had been attacked at Cocira by -1,000 Mexicans Mid had lost DO men. General Pierce, with .r0;) men, marched promptly to his relief. The late arrival docs not particularly confirm this, but says General Pierce was at El Paso, advancing upon Chihuahua with l,.r)00 men. It was rumored that Gen. Urrea was marching against Chihuahua, by the wny of Sonera, with a large force; but this is doubtful. .The route from Santa Fe is much impeded by snow, by which the recent returning party have lost many mules.

Last evening, a meeting of citizens, overflowing in numbers and enthusiasm, ut Lafayette Hall, made preparations for a mass meeting in the Park which will undoubtedly be one of the very greatest ever witnessed, even iu this city of monster meetings. George II. Purser, Esq., reported an address und resolutions, which ho introduced by one of his best speeches. 'Phis morning, every French cafe down town is filled with joyous Gauls, whose enthusiasm, every now and then, finds vent in the Mirstllahe in good chorus. A democratic ward meeting, last niht, adjourned singing the same anthem. After all, it is a great thing, this instinct of universal brotherhood, which beats in cvely living heart !

Wieshapen, March 2. Four thousand citizens, fully armed to put do.vn all resistance on the part of the troops of the reigning Duke assembled in front of the palace of a grand Duke of Nassau, to demand a redress of grievances, among which was liberiy of the press a German Parliament, to be elected by the people trial by jury, in open court the right of the citizens to meet and discuss political matters freedom of speech and id conscience, and an acknowledgement that the properly of the King, including fori hinds, fisheries, mines, icc. belong to the people. Alarmed at the threntning appearance of the people, Pnuce Nicholas, half brother to the Grand Duke, tuado- his appearance, and in piteous terms besought the popuiacj to spare the lives of his mother and brother, the Grand Duke who was then absent. Gen. Proline also addressed the multitude', and begged them not to fire upon the Pulace. Finding the reigning Duke absent, the armed citizens then inarched to the arsenal. which was strotiL'lv forfeited, and took it w ithout opposition, the soldiers in charge joining the revolutionists. On the next day, the Duke having returned, the de-! maud was .-wain made in the front of the Palace. He ! promised all' the people demanded. In his speech to his excited sub-ects. he ashed them to give him the i same confidence he reposed in them.

General Taylor has written a letter to the editor of the Indianapolis Journal, in w hich he says that nothing has occurred eince the date of his official report to change his opinion in regard to the conduct of the second Indiana regiment at the battle of Ruena Vista. We have always thought that tbo Court of Inquiry settled that matter, and relieved the regiment from any blame in the mat ter, though it seriously involved the commanding officer. Had not this gallant corps, unfortunately for itself in this matter, hailed from a northern State, it wejuld not, in nil probability, have been thus denounced ; or if so, its justification would have been acknowledged, and the responsibility placed where it j belonged.
