[From the Washington Union, Nov. 14} More Misrerresenrations.—There was a time when it gave us pleasure to exempt the Washington correspondents of the New York Journal of Com- merce from the general character of the scribblers of this city. One of its correspondents certainly was entitled to our respect, from the general accuracy ot his statements, and the decency of his composi- tion. Whether that writer (which we should re- ret to believe) has changed his hand, or whether the editor has changed his correspondent, we are at some loss to guess. But certainly some of the late letters of that paper are unworthy of its columns, and itis sinking into the same system of unfounde: assertions and illiberal speculations, which have made some other papers a by-word and a reproach in the catalogue of journalists. We regret to see this recent proclivity of its correspondence, and cer- tainly we have not seen for six months a more out- rageous jumble ot false assertions, and of shame- less speculations, than the letter which casts its shade over the columns of the Journal of yesterday morning. It would require more space than we can spare— more than the character of the letter deseryes—to expose the numerous blunders with which it abounds. We must say, however, itis false, that the articles, which have been recently published in the Union, on the Oregon question, have been written by, or for, Colonel mton, or at the prompting, or for the benefit of Mr. Walker of the reasury. Neither of those gentlemen has had any more to do with the articles on Oregon, than the man in the moon; nor has the President himself. We are as ignorant of Colonel Benton’s present position as any man in Washington; and he knew no more of the forthcoming of those artieles, and has as little con- nexion with them, in point of fact, and, as far as we can see, in point of interest, than an inhabitant of Kamschatka. We extend the same remark to the Secretary of the Treasury, without the slightest equivocation or mental reserve. We should be wanting inthe respect which we owe to ourselves, if we were to give vent to the scorn that we feel for the misrepresentations which this anonymous and reckless correspondent makes of ourselves. We have great respect for Mr. Walker. We hope from him a manly and noble effort to place our system of revenue upon a firm and more constitutional basis. We anticipate this public ser- vice from him, and we will be the first to thank him for it, as we were the first to thank him for his noble exertions in the cause of Texas. But, further than his- papi services, and his kind wishes, we have nothing to ask of the Secretary. He has no public printing worth speaking of, to “give” us; and we ask nothing at his hands! Butif, contrary to all we know of him, and all we hope from his rood sense, he should expect us to dabble forthwith in the succession for his benefit, we would tell him trankly, as we tell any other man, he expects of us what would be as little creditable to him to ask, as to ourselves to grant. We know as little as the unborn babe, whom we shall support as the next Presi- dent. It is a sealed book to us. It i prohibited que tion. We will not enter now—we not enter for long time—upon the succession, nor make up our minds upon the man whom we will support. We will “ not even dream of it.” But it is scarcely necessary to take up this matter in so serious astrain. There is nothing in Mr. W. calculated to Farce the slightest doubt about his course. He is doing his duty fearlessly, ably, and faithfully, as becomes the Secretary of the Trensu- ry. He joi in no intrigues, for he disduinsthem. He deserves, and he will receive, the thanks of country for the official labors to which he is so indefatigably de- voting all the energies of mind and body. As for what this correspondent of the New York Jour- nal of Commerce presumes to say in relation to Mr.Polk’s ambition for a second term—to Mr. Walker's jumed sitampt to i ie plot jous attempt to excite ithe sus- picions of Mr. Calhoun against Mr. Walker, or against ourselves, that either of us is employed in an infamous intrigue to thurst him out from the public confidence, and to place some aspiring rival over his head—as to any fictitious attempt to evade the reduction of the ta- ritf—it is all unworthy of serious notice. The correspondent of the Journal seems to be at a des- perate loss to understand the motive which we had in utting forth the editorial articles of the Union on the regon question. Let him turn to the resolutions of the Baltimore Convention, which we republished only in last evening’s Union, and he will be no longer at fault. Or, if he pleases, he may see in the following re- solution, (which was adopted by the “Democratic Asso- ciation” of the city of Richmond, on the Ist ot June, 1844, reported to that noble band of republicai individual who traces these hasty line: ly adopted by the association,) the true secret and the unflinching rit which pervaded the articles of the Union on thi bj Thi one of a long Baltimore Convention, and marked out the political plat- form on which we fought the campaign, of 1544:— A4th resolution—“That our title to the whole of the territory of Oregon is clear and unquestionable; that no portion ‘of the same ought to be ceded to England, or any other por and that the re-occupation of Oregon, ion of at the earliest practica- ble period, are great Ame! easures, which the a: sociation recommend to the cordial support of the demo- cracy of the Union.”—(Baltimore resolutions.) We have noticed these illiberal misrepresentations in the columns of the New York Journal of Commerce, trom the respect which we have hitherto entertained for the general fairness of its own editorials, and from the pre- vious course of its correspondents. Wemake these strictures with more painthan anger. The letter which calls them forth is much better suited to the character of the New York Courier, or of the New York Express, than to that of the Journal of Commerce. From the Washington Union, Nov. 15. The New York Herald repeats the idle and silly suppo- sition, which we have already exposed, as it first eman- ated from a reckless correspondent of the Journal of Commerce. En passant, we may remark, that our own regular correspondent from New York, in this evening's Union, exposes this writer with great force, but with almost too much elaboration. We are tempted to with- hold the criticism from our readers, though the writer seems to plume him: upon the composition which he has sent to us. should, therefore, be sorry to disappoint him. The Herald repeats the idle story that Col. Benton is more or less connected with the articles on Oregon. ‘There is not a shadow of truth, nor even a oyna in the hypothe: He has not written one line for the Union, nor fur litury hint. repeat, inthe most at we are not ac- quainted with Col. nton’s present position on this or any other political subject. We undertake to say, with equal frankness and explicitness, that there is as little truth in the other branch of the speculation, viz : “It is now generally understood:that Mr.Polk’s adminis- tration has abandoned all negotiations tor the present on the Oregon question, and that they stand in precisely the same position in regard to that ‘polioy in which it was left by Mr. Calhoun, when he retired from the State De- partment. There have been rumors and statements that & proposition was made to the British minister to resume the negotiations on the 49th degree of latitude; but they are generally denied and contradicted. The tone of the government organ, (we mean the Union,) in reference to this matter, developes, beyond all possibility of doubt, the position of Mr. Polk on that important question. We give inour paper today another great and important ar- ticle on this subject, which removes al} doubt, if any existed. The American government now claim the whole of the Oregon territory from the 42d degree of la- titude down to 54 degrees 40 minutes, against al claimants of any kind whatever. Amongst the and politicians, and newspaper writers of the day, this bold and daring position assumed by Mr. Polk has been attributed to the influence of Mr. Benton, Senator from Missouri, for the purpose of presenting a check to the progress of his great rival, Mr. Calhoun, amongst the sitive terms, popular m: s of the south and west, with whom Oie- gon is supposed to be the prominent question. This idea seems plausible.” usib! There is not the slightest truth, nor even {ie supposition. Come from whatever the insinuation i ke to say, upon whatever course the President may take, will be dicta- ted by his own sense of his public duties, and not by the influence of Col. Benton, or of any other man. They who attribute his measures to any indirect influence, are entirely unacquainted with thé character of the man. The only influence which will operate on Mr. Polk, will | be the force of the wae ples which ho has professed and of the pledges with which he came into pow: country will find them inscribed rather in the re: tions of the Baltimore Convention, than in the counsels f the Senator from Missouri, or even of any member of the Cabinet. at, that Mr, Polk has ‘no future” before his faving ber vated to the summit of honor and ambition by the voice of a free people, hi insi 'y that 2 other ambition to satis except to prove him: thy of the confidence of his country, by dischai duties in good faith, in pursuance of his princi to the best of his abilities. It is thus that he wil ratitude to the people—thus he will disc! the duties of a patriot—thus contribute to his own hap- piness while in office, and thus lay up stotes of delicious sconces, On which he may repose in the bosom of retirement. He will not, of course, commit the egre- | gious error of mingling in the question of the suc- cession. He will take no man’s part—favor no man’s aint — no man i ad ‘a tration ‘th Participate in the he will pursue or with any oth . in such an opposition ty Mt. Cal- houn—if, indeed, Co! enton or any other man could be | supposed to participate in such an intrigue. It becomes Mr. Polk to act upon more elevated principles—to look to his country, aod not to men—to recommend the mea- sures which are best colculated to advance her prosper- ity and her glory, and not to stoop to any of the intrigues of office. It becomes him, especially, to carry out the great principles upon which he was elected—to keep the great party united, to whose union he is indebted for his own elevation—to keep the bundle of arrows as firmly united together as he possibly can, in order that he may preserve, four years hence, the succession of his great principles, and not of men, firm and unbroken. For the | ur e must attend to the two great ele! The carrying out of the princip! which constitute them as ene party, and which are so admirably sot forth in the resolutions of the Baltimore convention ;—and Qdly, That he must treat all portions of the party, thelr distinguished men, with justice, equality partiality. | Whence, then, this idle gossip fh one man at the exp another - of preferring a citi- itizen of the South? And much win the hands of one, to r? Such is not the purpose nor the wish of Mr. Polk. We firmly believe that these are his high purposes;—otherwise, we would say, with all respect, we would not at this time of day be found in Washington. INTELLIGENCE FRom Texas.—The steamer Cin- cinnati hrrived at New Orleans on the J0th instant, from Aransas Bay. We have received by lier a let- ter from our corrrespondent at Corpus Christi. The Louisiana volunteers, sent out by General Gaines, have returned home in the Cincinnati. Conrvs Cunist1, Texas, Nov. 1. The reputation of the Herald w face all r to look first into its columns for the earliest and m: portant intelligence, in these exeiting times. Has an ad- vance movement been made—has a battle been fought— and a victory won, or defeat suffered, where else would our friends seek the particulars? Although no such in- telligence can yet he communicated, it is presumed that ageneral interest is felt in our affairs in the Southwest, and that some curiosity will be manifested to hear direct from our army in the field. I may more properly say, it was so presumed ; for on leaving the United States, scores of youthful Cwsars and Napoleons flattered them- selves that their destination was the spot towards which all Americ eyes were soon to be directed, in earnest contemplation of mighty events. Our pacific ago, rare- y, preventing a field for the display of martial talents, rorin, 1 this opportunity of studying war practically was em- braced with the groatest eagerness’ and delight. Here id they, are we to be schooled in all those and dangers of which, hitherto, many of us read. The march—the bivouac—the tented e of tivers—tho attack—the defence— | bands of hostile soldiers have p | waste in their turn. A thousand | ruined, and want has pressed the land; | —those | an appearal ‘except the retreat, are now before us ; and the commentary of experience is to be added to the science we have theoretically studied. For many years seen nothing bu achpe shod be character- ¥ abating somewhat of devotion to their every day affairs, it was supposed that they would give to the army of occupation much the same attention that the army of England, of Italy and Egypt, excited in past days. And we already fancied that on our triumphant march towards the ancient city, perhaps twice “ forty centuries” would look down upon us from her temples and her mounds. Henceforth, it would be said that the conquest of Mexico was not achieved by Cortez, or its history written by Prescott or Robertson. Such were the anticipations. Honors and fame, promotions, at le: by brevet, the applause of our countrymen, the rewards from our government, and above all, the smiles of sweet- hearts, floated before our enraptured vision, and made us supremely blessed. It would be difficult to convey an accurate idea of the exact situation and appearance of this encampment; yet efuture day attempt it, as the spectacle of so force js unusual in our country, and may not be witnessed again fora generation. Not that 4,000 or 10,000 is absolutely large army, but I speak of it asa large force to be encamped together. And as it is complete, as every arm and all the corps ave represented, perhaps a more efficient boly was never aasembled on this conti- nent. Let the foreign tourists, who have described with so much particularity the troops of kings and despots, come hither and view the soldiery of a republic, and tell that these are but examples of the two hundred thousand that would speedily surround our standard,whenever the honor or interests of the nation shall be compromised. With us, every man ix a stuckhulder in the government, and every individual when he fights, fights for lis own. ‘This considerati he estimate of every thinking man, who has calculated chances of a war cs betwoen Mexico and the United States. Remembering the battle of San Jacinto, and Joking te the general cha- the report racter of Mexican troops, it is surpri ing that 000, within even a single day’s mi been weil authenticated, could have excited apprebensien for the American General. It that even this number, puny in physical stature and strengyts —, armed and clothed, and worse fed, and who een recruited, mustang-like, with the Jase, could stand against two iments of the American army. Itis said that the principal alarm was felt at home, and those on the scene of action at the time, have much cause of amusement at the tender and affectionate inter- est manifested on their account. One significant lesson was taught by this false alarm. It demonstrated th alacrity with which Americans repair to th danger. The chivalric spirit of Major Gall companions in arms guarantees, that in any crisis, brave men will not be wanting, while their superior skill and discipline affords the same security that accomplished soldiers are evor ready, when their country calls. O1 minute men—and their name is legion. these. The encampment at Corpus Christi, as | arare spectocie, and among other sketc! prove interesting, the writer of this ter, attempt some description of the spe id in- ternal economy of an encamped army. Brief outlines of Texian and Mexican as it appears on the border, with sketches of mauners, ‘morals, modes of life, natural scenery, and descriptions puted territory hither to almost a terra incognita to geographers and travel- lers, may speedily follow. And would any rea the Herald find its value or interest diminial it record the adventures ina journo: tricio, or Bexar, and an account of The remotest corners of the old world have been de- scribed with a minuteness which leaves nothing to be told in regard to them. Every voyager now writes his book, at the risk of repeating a thrice told, or ten times told tale; but Mexico is a land for infurmation, in regard to which we to this day resort to the great German who described it more than forty years ago. But neither he nor his successors have known this portion of the old Viee-Royalty, We are on the confines of a region vast in extent, on whose face, in the latest maps, is written, “ very little known.” Would you hear more particularly about this portion of the “ area?” But my next must an- ticipate your answer. Tue MorMmons.—Major Warren, in command of the Lilinois mil in county, made a visit last week to Nauvoo, for the purpose of ai in rest of Jack Reddii of the Council of Twelve were assured that no writs were in his possession, against them, that ii Young and his coadjutors could be found.

Wuatine Freer or New Beprorp.—We find, in @ recent number of the National Magazine, a graphic sketch of New Bedford, the nature of her re- sources and the extent of her prosperity. The writer brings up, in beautiful imaginative array, the whale fleet ofthat city. It consists of 250 full rigged ships ! In Jong and beautiful array they appear off New Bedford. ing the harbor giving signal they cast anchor, and forma continous line nearly ten miles long, An- other signal, and from out of this imposing line of ships dart three thousand whale boats, manned by seven nd men, the operatives of New Bedford.

The bills on the Poughkeepsie banks are received on deposit at all the of this city. Isaac G. Oopen, teller of the Phenix Bank, of this city, on being c@Med, testified, that on the 7th of April last, he delivered to Capt.

The barge was [i | up for repairs on the 12th of March last, the iron safe re- maining in witness’ office. Witness having seen roy in the lock of the office door in the latter part of Kebu- ary, it was examined, and either a piece of sealing wax or putty was found inthe lock. Witness was agent for the Poughkeepsie banks, and received exch for some of our city banks. At the time of the rob! 5 witness received six packages for the Farmers’ and Ma- nufacturer’s Bank, from the Phenix ,Bank of this city, whichjwere handed to witness by the Teller. They were } directed to Mr. Benjamin. Witness also received two | packages for Mr.North,cashier of the Poughkeepsie Bank, from the Merchants’ Exchange Bank, and deposited the eight packages in the iron safe in the barge, which wit- ness locked, and placed the key in his money drawer, | which was also locked. Witness, after remaining on board the vessel for about an hour, went ashore for the purpose of collecting a bill,returning in about 15 minutes, | and after attending to some business on board, again went ashore for about half an hour—when witness re- turned to boat about five o’clock, he got the SP nder | way to go up the river.

[Officer Bird was about to describe the money taken from Par- kinson, when Mr. Grirrix rose and objected to a de- scription of the money being give: belore stating his | objections, however, the Court took a recess until 6 | o’clock.} : ‘ EVENING sEEBION. Mr. Grirriy rose for the pu f stating his objec- | tions to the admission of any testimony which should set | forth the description of money found in the possession of | Parkinson at the time of his arrest, inasmuch as the pro- | secution had not proven the precise character of the pro- | perty stolen ; therefore the presumption in law was that no felony had been perpetrated, and that Parkinson was possessed of his property in right of his possession. Mr. Wuitine contended that it was proper to show | that money was found in the possession of the accused of the same kind as had been stolen, and that the finding of sueh money under the existing circumstances, was pre- sumptive evidence of his guilt. In support of this posi- tion, Mr. Wxitixa cited authorities to show that a man coming out of a barn, and on being searched, corn or other property of the same kind as contained inthe premises, was found in his possession, it was presump- e evidence of his guilt: also in the case of men em- tive | , | ployed to discharge the esrgo of a ship, o ot | Sugar or other mh and thet in case oueey, porn same Legislature held | description was found in the possession of the men so to appoint ten employed, although it could not be identified by the ttend the Southwest- | owner, it was s prenumptive evidence of their guilt, | unless the persons found in possession of such property could show how it came into t! 8 seen! and that | in such as the present and other similar cases,it is incum- | bent on the accused parties to show how the property came into their possession, and failing to do so, it is pre- | sumed that it was felonionsly ob’ ; for , sup | reed rson lost a certain sum of money, that some ards the loser meets with a $5, which he be- lieves to be a pertion of the lost and the | sessor f (BShow how be obtained if; it ie presump= | tive evidence that he feloniously became the possessor of the same. | ‘The District Attorney, Wm. M. Price and Ogden Hof- | man, Esqs., also advanced views of similar import. | Mr. Garin contended that the prosec' in the present case had not soly filed to describe the property sue ed % have been stolen, but were also unable to jentify it. The objections raised by the defence to the admissi- bility of testimony onthe part of the eit, in | Teference to a description of the money found in posses- | sion of the ner, was overruled by the Court. Officer Binp according! proceeded with his testimony, as follows:—I searche: m at the Upper Police Office, and found a pocket book upon him; it contained one $90 bill on the Bank prrcughksensie one $50 bill on | the Farmers’ and Manufacturers’ Bank of Poughkeepsie, one $10 bill onthe Merchants’ Exchange , of this city.
