On a number of occasions both public and private we have heard Democratic polittoians endeavoring to create prejudice among the Irish, against Geaeral Scott, by charging Upon him the condemnation to death of a number of Irishmen, during the Mexican war. This $arge is made use of to falsify General Scott's declaration in one of his letters that he "never knew an Irishman to turn his back upon an enemy or a friend." Not believing for a moment that he would make such a statement Over his own signature after having executed a number of Irishmen, we still determined to investigate tbe matter, and have been at some pains making researches among documents •and papers within our reach. We find not the slightest evidence that there was one ItishmSn out of the number who paid the penally,- according to the rules of war, for desertion. At the time the Mexican army was vacating Monterey, Gen. Worth recognized in the ranks a deserter from the American army, who went by the name of Riley. This mgn was not an Irishman, neither was his real name, Riley, but RYDER. He was afterwards at the Battle of Buena Vista fighting on the side of the Mexicans against the Americans. Subsequently be was captured at Churubusco, along with a number of des!rters. General Worth in his report says of them, "among the prisoners, are secured twenty-seven deserters from our own army, afrayed in the most tawdry Mexican uniforms. Theae wretches served the guns—the use of which they had been taught in our own service—and with fatal effect, upon the persons of their former comrades."

Geo. W. Kendall in his letters from the army says of the prisoners taken at Churubusco, that 'Khe most important capture of all was the entire Foreign B&tallion mostly made up of deserters from our awn army, with the notorious Riley himself. They are all now tinder close guard and I trust will be strictly dealt with."

After r^prts from the army state that the deserters were tried, condemned and exccnted. Having deserted our ranks, they were found in the ranks of the eaerrqr, fighting against us they were captured, tried, found guilty, and the rules of war demanded their execution. Who would find fault with such a down for a deserter! Before the execution could take place it bad to be approved by the Commander ia Chief without any regard to the nativity of the deserters, and we guarantee to say that no body but Domcyratic politicians will believe that if Gen. Scott had known there wa^ one Irishman among the number, he would have been so reckless of truth as to have •aid over his own signature that he "never knew an Irishman to turn his back to an enemy or a friend."

Because a man essoinee the Irish name of Rii^ and leftds body of men, it does not fallow that they or any part of them are Irish, and we h«ve failed to find that there was a single Irishman in the band of Riley It suits some politicians, however, who are advocating a desperate came in this country, to torture facts to their own use.

One thing we want every Irishman to bear in mind, that the men who were executed in Mextto, were tried, and proven to be deserters, and when a Democratic politician says that Scott hong Irishmen in Mexico, it Is nothing more nor less than saying that Irishmen are rassxTCfta. To maintain that Irishmen were executed, is to maintain that Irishman deserted, that they turned their hades the American Flag, and joined an enemy to fight against their adopted country. It is impossible to msan anything else. Let them get out of it, if they can. What says the Irishman about voting for those who call him a deserter?

In conversation with a German a day or two ago, he told us that when he came to this country his feelings were ratherinclined towards what is called the Democratic party, in consonance with the feelings of a majority of those who come from other countries, and remain so till thoy find out the real state of things that exists among us.— Shortly after his arrival he heard a Whig speech in his own native language and he soon made up his mind that the Whig party was the Democratic party he wanted lo belong to. He became a Whig and has been one ever since. He says that they may raise all the poles they choose and put all, the roosters in creation on top of them, and let them crow all the time, it will not have any effect upon him, he is for Scott. And why is he for Scott! Because Scott if elected will carry out, so far as will be in his power the principles he believes are the best for the country to pursue. And why again! Because he had heard of Scott before he left bis native shores, and when the Mexican war broke out he took up a musket and served under the old war worn veteran in behalf of his adopted country. He knowsSoett to be a good and true man, he bej^^cte^iurt the principles of the party Soot* hpkn^to are the best for the coun try, and to do What he can for the promotion of those principles, and to honor his old commander he is going for Scott with heart' and abul.

The steamer Nurthern Light, the latest arrival from California, brings intelligence that Hon. B. VV. McGaughey had readied San Francisco, and died in that place, and not at sea as was first reported. He had reached San Francisco on the 4th of August and died on the 13th. The following particulars are from the San Francisco of the 14th of August:

It is our painful duty to record the demise of Hon. E. W. McGaughey, who arrived in San Fraacisco on the 4th instant by the Wiafield Scott. He died at Jones's Hotel yesterday morning at one o'clock of Panama fever, with which he was attacked on the passage. Dr. Greathouse, of Kentucky. Judge Hammond, and other kind friends who were with him on board the steamer, were unremitting in their attentions to him, and slight hopes were entertained that he would recover upon reaching this place.

Immediately upon landing Dr. Aldrich, of this city, was called upon to assist in attending him, and he exerted every means that medical skill could suggest for his restoration. But he had become so emaciated and enfeebled that all was without avail. He did not die among strangers. Old acquaintances and friends were around him, and paid him every possible attention. Among them were the Hon. George C. Bates, ex-Gover-nor McDougal, and Hon. P. W. Tomkins Col. E. D. Baker who had known him familiary, was not in town at tbe time of his death.

Mr. McGaughey was formerly a Whig member of Congress of Indiana, one of the youngeBt members of that body and of more than average talents. He had embarked for California with the intention of prosecuting his profession of law and politics.

McCarty and Wright.

We see by the Indianapolis papers that Messrs. MCCARTT and WRIGHT, the two candidates for Governor, are again engaged in canvassing. They will shortly again visit this part of the Wabash valley. From along list of appointments to address the people, we clip the following appointments for speaking in this and the adjoining counties.

Covington, Fountain county, Friday, September 17, 1 o'clock P. M. Perrysville, Vermillion county, Friday September 17, 7 o'clock, P. M.

Highland, Vermillion county, Saturday, September 18, 2 o'clock, P. M. Numa, Parke county, Monday, September 20, 9 o'clock, A. M.

Terre Haute, Vigo county, Monday September 20, 1 o'clock P. M. Danville, Hendricks county, Tuesday, Sep21,1 o'clock, P. M.

Several of our merchants who have been east for the purpose of laying in fall and winter goods, have again returned to town. Others are still on, attending to the like business, No doubt Terre Haute will be well replenished with a fine stock of new goods in a short time.

Great Whig gain in the recent Maine elections—see telegraph.

Mr. David Harper, of Trimble county, Kentucky, raised, the present season, on one acre of hi* farm, three hundred and sixtythree bushels of select potatoes and thirty and one-fourth bushels of small ones, making three hundred and ninety-three and ana fourth bushels to the acre. Mr. Harper is under the impression that there are other acres ia his field that will yield more than tbe one he measured.

There will be forty-nine Agricultural Fairs in Ohio this Fall, and 19 of them will bo held tbe first week in October.

J. G. Marshall.—The Madison Banner says, we take great pleasure in announcing to our readers that Hon. J. G. Marshall has consented to be a candidate for Congress in this district. His friend* were not satisfied that his reasons for declining the canvass, stated in his card, which we published yesterday, were sufficient. They do not deem it necessary that he should devote as much time and labor to canvass as would be both proper and necessary, if his acquaintance throughout the district were leas general. Tbe people knew him, and knew him to be a man of ability—of warm and generous impulses, and we trust and believe that a majority of the voters of this district will delight to do him honor.

THS DYSENTERY.—A medical correspondent of the New York Tribune, Mates that he has two children sick with the terrible scourge, the dysentery, and from observations he has made, he is led to suspect that the aaa of salt fish, during hot weather, has much to do with the production of this Cats! disoaae.

The Railroad from Terre Haute to Indi anapolis has always had the name of being one of the very best roads in the country.— This is said by persons who have had op portunities for judging by traveling on other roads. A correspondent of the Charleston <Courier> recently passed over our road and says it was the pleasantest route he had from the Wabash to the Atlantic, that a difference was soon apparent on changing to the Madison road, the noise and jar contrasting strongly with the quiet and easy motion of the Terre Haute road. ~~~~~~~

Why was it that Pettit, the mighty gun of Democracy in Indiana, the "brass piece/' could not get a crowd large enough to speak to at Vincennea, when notice of his appointment at that place was given far and widel Does it exhibit the enthusiasm for Pierce that Democratic papers and orators tell us is among the people! That is not much of a specimen of enthusiasm when the leaders of Democracy cannot draw the disciples to hear of the merits of their candidate for President, obliging the orator to leave in a rage because of the meagre crowd. Instead of enthusiasm, it rather shows that the people care but little for Pierce and Democracy.

The Vincennea Gazette is informed thpt twenty persons had died of cholera in Decker township, Knox county, within a few days past. Some of those who died were the best of citizens.

The Whigs of Iowa and Northern Illinois propose to celebrate the anniversary of General Scott's treaty made with the Indians at Rock Island, on the 21st of September, 1832. By that treaty the United States came into possession of the territory now forming the State of Iowa. That achievement was a peaceable one, but none the less honorable to Gen. Scott, or valuable to the Union. It added another star to our constellation of States,

There was Sept. 2d a grand funeral procession at New Orleans, in honor of Gen. Ldpez, and the Cuban victims.

Hen. W. A. Gorman, of Indiana, was aboard the Reindeer at the time of the recent explosion on the Hudson river. He had just stepped out to the deck to take a look at the town of Bristol, when the explosion occurred, and he escaped uninjured.

EARTHQUAKE IN CUBA.—A telegraphic despatch dated

at

iDstant,

New Orleans on the 4th

says:

A great earthquake occurred Santiago de Cuba on the 20th of August, causing terrible destruction. All the hou6es were more or less injured, and the city was completely blocked up by the fallen buildings. Three shocks were experienced in a few hours, and many subsequently followed in the next two days.

The County Commissioners commenced their September session on Monday last.— They will probably have business for the week.

SAMUEL W. EDMUNDS has withdrawn his name as a candidate for Common Pleas Judge, and under the solicitation of numerous citizens, has consented to the use of his name for re-election as County Commissioner. His name will be found announced in the proper place for that office.

An editor writing from Niagara, writes that it costs a man a quarter every time he turns round, and four bits if he goes forward.

The weather we are now enjoying is delightful after the warm days of summer.— Thick clothes are making their appearance, coats are buttoned in the mornings and evenings. Now and then we see a blue blanket moving along very slowly, as if the propelling power had been deprived of its usual force by some peculiarities of the climate at this season of the year. The market for quinine and bitters may expect to be a little brisker. Patent medicines suitable for the season will no doubt be in demand, including, probably No. 6 and red eye. ~~~~~~~

Mr. LORAN SMITH, the former contractor for rebuilding the Bridge across the Wabash, and who was so seriously injured by the late accident, died at his residence in Terre Haute, yesterday. ~~~~~~

EMBARRASSING, VERY.—The excla rtiation of Dick Swiveller when he discovered that the "Marchioness" had disposed of his clothes during his illness, and that ho was left even without an umbrella in case of a fire, is familiar to our readers. Not less awkward was fhe predicament in wich Mr. Jones wos placed, the morning after his marriage, when on his way to Niagara, with his blooming bride. That gentleman was exceedingly cautfbus, and even evinced the greatest dread both of fires and rob bers. Having stopped for the niglu at one of the principal hotels in Washingion, ho charged his wife, before he retired, to "leave nothing about," and carefully deposited his own inexpressible*, the pockets of which contained his valuables, (including the door key, which he had prudently withdrawn,) in his new trunk with a patent lock. As he intended to take the early train at six o'clock, he awoke betimes, but, to his dismay, discovered that he had neglected to remove the keys from his pock* eta. and that they were WITHIN the trunk, which closed with a spring. This was sufficiently provoking, but. to add to hja perplexity, Mrs. J., In her anxiety to "obey" literally the injunctions of her husband, had placed her own gar moms in her trunk, and given him the keys for safe-keeping, which he had secured with his own. It was not till after repeated knocks at the door, and when the cars were far on the way, that Jones could summon resolution to reveal the caase of his tardiness. The chambermaid, with an extra key, relieved him from his imprisonment, but the attendance of a locksmith was necessary to procure the pair presentable suits

The recollection of that day'a involuntary detention never fails to elicit from Jones a hearty anathema against «|,l new fangled notions in the way of trunk locka which he classes with mantraps and other devices of tbe enemy.— Journal of Commerce. trtfw

Meagher on Free Trade* Thomas Francis Meagher, the Irish patriot, now in New York, was con demited and transported for endeavoring to restore the prosperity to his country whioh had been destroyed by the union with England. Before that event Iraland had a variety of manufacturing establishments, which gave employment to thousands ofirish operatives, and added much to the productive industry of the country. The policy of F.ngland was to dostroy these manufactures, and to compel the Irish population to depqnd upon England for the supply of goods previously manufactured in Ireland, and she succeeded. The union placed Iroliind within her grasp, and the induiiry of the country was stifled.— English free trade overthrew the Irish manufacturers, and introduced poverty, warn and pauperism. In nn address delivered at a meeting of the Irish confederation, April 7, 1847 (quoted in the New, York Tribune,) Mr. Meagher said: •••4. "Tell me, has not England norefotlfn enough of your food, and has she not broken down enough of your manufaclutes, and has she not buried enough of your^eople? Recount, for a moment a few of your losses. The cotton manufacture t»f Dublin, which employed 14,000 operatives, has been destroyed.— The 3,400 silk-looms of the Liffey have been destroyed The stuff and derge manufacture which employed 1,491 operatives have been destroyed. The calico looms of Balbriggan have been destroyed. The flannel manufacture of Rathdrum has been destroyed. The blanket manufacture of Kilkenny has been destroyed. The camlet trade of .Bandon, which produced £100,000 a year, has bean destroyed. The worsted stuff manufactures of Waterford have been destroyed. The rateen and frieze manufactures of Carrickon-Suir have been destroyed. One business, alone, survives! One business, alone, thrives and flourishes, and dreads no bankruptcy! That fortunate business which the

Union Act has not struck down, but which the Union Act has stood by— which the absentee drain has not slackened, but stimulated—which the drainage acts and navigation laws of the Imperial Senate have not deadened, but invigorated—that favored, and privileged, and patronized business, is the Irish coffin?maker's."

Having ruined Ireland by the introduction of her free trade system, she is now seeking to produce the same result in the United States,—and, strange to say, she has succeeded in procuring a system of policy here, which must result as it did in Ireland—that is, in the prostration of domestic manufactures, and in dependence on her tor supplies. And it is extraordinary, that in this work of ruin she is assisted by many Irish citizens who left their own country in consequence of the very measures which they uphold. Every manufacturing establishment in the United States destroyed by the operations of free trade, is so much added to the power, wealth and influence of Great Britain— and yfct,,those who are seemingly most hostile to the English government, are among the formost in seconding her efforts to secure greater power.

The Tribune has an excellent article upon the subject, which must have its influence with Irish citizens particularly.—Baltimore Clipper.

..GEN. SCOTT'S ADDRESS TO THE CHEROKEE INDIANS WHO REFUSED TO EMIGRATE WEST.—My Friends:—The full moon of May is on the wane, and before another moon shall have passed, every Cherokee must be in motion to join his brethren in the far West. This is no sudden determination on the part of the President, whom you and I must now obey. 1 have come to carry out that determination. All my troops are your friends. Receive them and confide in them as such. Soldiers are as kind hearted as brave, and the desire of every ono of us is to execute our painful duty in mercy. Chiefs, head men and warriors—will you, then, by resistance, compel us to resort to arms? God forbid! Or will you, by flight, seek to hide yourselves in mountains and forests, and thus oblige us to hunt you down? The blood of the white man, or the blood of the red man, may bo spilt, and if spilt, however accidentally, it may be impossible for the discreet and humane among you, or among us, to prevent a general war and carnage. Think of this, my Cherokee brethren!, I am an old warrior, and have been present at many a scene of slaughter but spare me, beseech you, the horror of witnessing the destruction of the Cherokces!"

What appeals to reason, to expediency, to tho sympathies of the human heart, could have been more ingeniously framed than these? Who can fail to admire the frank simplicity of every word the kind, tender humanity of every argument tho earnest aolicitude witli which violence is ddpicted, and the almost mournful anxiety with which the magnanimous, loving disposition ol Scott even implores those whom he was sent to coerce, to save him, by their wise and temperate submission, from the otherwise painful requirements of office. Their effect was no less happy and Immediate than they were judicious in their adaption to the energy.—Philadelphia North American.

St«W 1W PHNHSYLVAMA WORTH RBCORDING.——A meeting of Democrats, who have never voted for a Whig ticket, but who now go for Scott and Graham, was held in IJellam township, York county on Saturday, tho 21st ulu One bundled and twenty Democrats wert present, who raised a pole over one hundred feet high, to which was attached a flag on which is inscribed in large lettars, SCOTT, GHAHAM, A»D THB COHSTITUTtOR."

Character and Actions of Gen. Scott. We care not how much our opponents are disposed to investigate the character and past life of General Scott. The more they are examined, the brighter they shino. The deeper the scrutiny, the more is elicited of the admirable private character of the man, and the brilliancy of his deeds. All that he has done for his country has been well done, whether in war or in peace. His whole life has been filled up with actions that have redounded to the honer and glory of the nation. There has been always with him a wisdom capable' of foreseeing the precise means necessary to accomplish the objects he had in view, and of adapting them to their end. His intellect, prudence, judgment, and power of combination, have always been equal to any emergency. Does any one deny this? It is proved from every page of the history of the man. It is that ready and happy power of adapting the means to the end, and that prompt and decisive mode of employing them, which has marked the man, and be the father of his great deeds. In whatever situation he has been tried, he has come off successful. Does not this furnish, then, the best proof that he is capable of filling the office to which he has been nominated? Does it not show the folly and short-sightedness of those who claim that he is unfitted for the station? He has been tried through life and has done well, wherever placed, and under whatever exigencies is it not a fair inference that (he same prudence, judgment, promptitude, adaption of means to the end, and quickness of accurate decision, will equally follow him into the Presidential chair and give him the power of ably administering tho Government?— Let the candid reflect upon it.-~rfiart-ford, {Conn.) Courant.

Another Gen. Scott Incident.*: A very respectable old gentleman of Posey county, visited us the other day. He was one of the American soldiers taken prisoners with Gen. Scott at the battle of Queenstown. He bears respectable evidence to Scott's undaunted bravery, kindness to his soldiers, and perfect freedom of that haughty and pompous vanity with which he has been chargcd by his British enemies in this country. The old soldier narrated to us the following little incident. After the surrender, he with other soldiers, were driven along by the British to a place of imprisonment like hogs to a pen. In the course of the march, our informant's shoes stuck in the mud, but he was hurried on, not even being allowed time to stoop to pick them up.— While these soldiers were in prison, Col. Scott, whose raak saved him from this vile endurance, visited the prison to comfort his brave comrades, and encourage them with hopes of a speedy liberation. He observed that our informant was barefooted, and asked.him the reason. The explanation was given, when Scoit pulled out three dollars, all he had, and told him to take it, and buy himself shoes, as he was suffering for the want of them. This may be regarded as a small incident, but the old soldier who told it to us, says he shall never forget it, as under all the circumstances it was a great and good act. He says too, he owes Gen. Scott those three dollars yet, but he intends paying off part the interest next November.— Evensville Journal.

THE RACE FOR CONGRESS.—So far as we have seen, it seems to be taken by general consent of the Whigs of the District, that C. W. Barbour, of Vigo,is to be our candidate for Congress in the present race. He is known to be a man of fair talents and respectable standing, and that he is esteemed and highly popular with those who are acquainted with him. He is recommended as a reliable and substantial man, a man of energy and close investigation. And WQ hope the Whigs of this District will now go to work, with hearty good-will, and elect him. That they can do it hy mawing good, manly effort, wo feel confident.— Certainly, in a District where Mr. Clay was beaten only 366 votes in 1844, the Whigs are not in a hopeless minority! Certainly, where Taylor in 1848 obtained a majority of 243, the Whigs may and ought to elect a Congressman in 1852, when Winfield Scott leads on to victory.

As this Ts the first Congressional election since the present District was formed let us all go to work and see to it that

THE REASON WHY BENNET OF THE NEW YORK HERALD GOES AGAINST GEN. SCOTT.—Two or three summers ago, Gen. Scott was spending a short interval of leisure at that delightful resort, Newport, R. I. White sojourning there, one morning at the breakfast table, he asked one of the servants for a newspaper. A lady sitting opposite, a perfect stranger to him, reached across the table with a newspaper in her hand, saying— "Gen. Scott, allow me to furnish you with the New York Herold." "I thank you, Madam, very sincerely," returned the General, "for your kindness—but I never read the Herald "Do you know, sir," retorted the lady, with the utmost indignation painted on her countenance—"do you know, sir, that I am the wife of Mr. Bennet, the editor of the Herald?"

Gen. Scott—"I certainly did no» kndW Madam, that such was the case, or I should not have been guilty of making the remark that has just passed my iips But, Madam, 1 have said it and it can not be recalled."' -1 iili mm Ik

AWFUL.—A correspondent of the Aibany State Register, writing from Niagara Falls, perpetrates the following excruciating paragraph:

There is a deal of wit left in this world yet. Our driver "sold" us all out cheap. As we were driving along towards the Clifton House, we espied the little pocket edition of steamer that runs all round and under the Falls the "Maid of the Mist." The driver carelessly asked us if we knew what she was made of? We answered (very wisely) that we supposed she was constructed of wood and iron. Coachee whistled for a moment, and then turning his eyes full upon us, with a merry "devil" dancing in the corners of each of them, he replied—"No Sir: she is *Maid of the Mist/' We duly ac knowledged the "sell," and jogged on, largely enlightened in the mysteries of steamboat building on the Niagara.— The pun was as old as the boat, but "dreadful" good. ...

The best mcdicine known for this dread complaint as nunnreds can testify. Bloody Flux it always cures.
