Single copies sixpence only [== The War Movemoents—Major General Scott in the Field. The recent conduct of the Mexican government in granting letters of marque, with naturalization papers attached, for the purpose of inducing for- eigners to equip privateering vessels and prey on our commerce, as well as the evinced to procrastinate hostilities, notwithstand- ing the severe lessons they have learnt since the commencement of the war, urgently call for a more strenuous effort on our part to conquer a speedy peace. It is now apparent that we can place no reli- ance on the Mexicans. We have been cheated andcxjoled by them so much, that it would be | the height of madness to take any other course than to capture their strongholds, both on the sea- board and in the interior, and dictate a peace to then on our own terms. We have waited long enongh for the proposition to come from them; we have even solicited a proposition ot peace, but none has been ti ered, and in spite of our well known daposition to cone to a lasting and permanent arrangement of the diffienlties be_ tween the two countries, they obstinately and per- tinacionsly hold our, as if they were courting an- nihilation, There is but one course of policy left for us to pursue, and that is to carry the war to the very capital—to the city of Mexicoitself. We have always been of this opinion, and months since argued the necessity of making the interior o! Mexico the theatre of our operations, now that the extremities of that exteusive country were in our hands, We are informed that the administration have arrived at this conclusion, and are now deter. mined-to bring into activity, a larger naval and military force than wasever put forth on the Ame- rican continent. All the troops authorized by the war bill, passed at the last session of Congress, as well as the whole of our maritime force will be de- spatched to the seat of war, and a demonstration made that will convince our enemies that on our part we are only beginning the war—that what we have done so iar, was merely with the view of soliciting a proposition for peace, and having failed in that, we are now determined to conquer one ourselves, and on our own terms, The army and the navy will soon have opportue nities enough of reaping laurels, and we may look | out fora series of brilliant actions on land and sea that will add additional lustre to our name, and il- jumine the pages of our history. It may turn out that these tremendous preparations may be unne- cessary. The Mexican Congress may, imme- diately after the opening, propose terms of peace qhat may be acceptable to our govern- ment; but we have been deceived so often, that the best policy our government can pursue is to prepare for all emergencies. Ifwe getno proposals from their Congress, then we are prepared to thrash them out of one, and make them foot the bill of expenses into the bar- gain. En avant! Tux Jersey Crry Ferry.—We have refrained from saying a word in regard to this ferry in many weeks, for two reasons, first, because the City Convention embodied in the amended charter a clause prohibiting the Common Council from dis- posing of the ferry rights belonging to the city in any other way than by public auction; and second- ly, because a resolution introduced in the Board of Assistant Aldermen, by Assistant Alderman Smith of the ninth ward, in reference to this company, was referred toa committee to report on the expediency of passing it. Two reasons alse, induce us to again take the matter in hand, and continue agitating it until this ferry is deprived of its monopoly features, the charge of ferriage reduced from six to three cents, and the public in- En avant ! lll SESE jaturday, November 28, 1846, determination | | Ing the slip atthe foot of Courtlandt street to putup at auction, and leased for§a number of years to the highest bidder, who will covenant to run a boat every ten minutes from sunrise to sun+ eet—every fifteen minutes from sunset till twelve o'clock at night—and every half hour from that time till sunrise—and at the same time charge no more than thiee cents ferrige. For a number of years past, the company has enjoyed the exclusive use of this slip for the paltry | sum of four thousand dollars a year; not one quar- teras much as it would bring at public auction; | and in return they charge our oitizens three times | as much as the Fulton Ferry Company does, which pays a rent of thirty thousand dol- lars a-year. The people of Jersey City, and indeed of the whole State, as well as thousands in New York, are eagerly awaiting the action of our Common Couneil in this matter. They know well that no concession will be ever voluntarily made by the Company, aud they expect relief fiom their grievances from our Common Couneil. Icis to be hoped, therefore, that the committee will soon make a report, and it would not be amiss while they are about it, to enquire into the expediency ot levying some tx on the New Jersey Railroad and Transportation Company. This Company transports all its treights through our streets in large wagons and trucks free of expense, while at the same time our own citizens are compelled to take out a license, and pay acertain sum into the | city treasury, before they can cart a single load of goods. New York Post-Orrice.—Our postmaster, Ro- bert H. Morris, always uneasy when he is not in mischief, has,within a day or two, been upsetting his setablishment, and tumbling every person and { thing connected with it topsy turvy. | Among other matters, we understand that he | has discharged three of the oldest and most capa- ble clerks in the establishment, for the purpose of making room for a like number of other persons Que of those discharged has been in the office fourteen years, another ten, and another nine; and tree, who are probably green horns, and who are as well acquainted with the duties of the of- fice as an old fashioned-ram is of the intricacies of Euclid, are installed in their places. Woat a strange man this Morris is—not satis- fied with neglecung the duties of his office for several months together, the moment he returns he seuds adrift the very persons whom he is un- | der obligations to for maneging his business, | while he was making three dollars a day, and his perquisites, in the State Convention, We hope that the democrats will get up another | convention, and make our Postmaster a delegate ofthe same. Tis may save the few old clerks \ left, and give us some show of a post office. Cave Johnson, Cave Johnson, why can’t you retire to-morrow ! Launcn or THE Rosert Pret.—New Havre } THE STORM ON THE SOUND. | TOTAL LOSS OF THE STEAMER ATLANTIC. | Probable Loss of Life. | | THE MAILS. | ke, ke. The Boston train over the Long Island Rail- | road arrived at Brooklyn at 5 o’clock last even- | ing. The steamer New Haven left Allyn’s | Point at 9 yesterday morning, after the gale, | which had been blowing fiercely for two days, had somewhat subsided. The Atlantic left New London on Wednesday night for New York, in the gale. On Thursday she was seen near Fisher’s Island, with loss of smoke-pipe, &c. Tne Mohegan, which arrived at Allya’s Point on the same day from New York, after land.ng her passengers, attempted to go to ber assistance, but was unable, from the violence of the gale to hold communication with her. The Mohegan returned to New Haven about two o’clock, P. M., and reported “having seen the Atlantic about three-fourths of a mile from the shore. She seemed to be anchored. Her smoke-pipes and paddle-boxes were gone. The latter having probably been knocked off in order that the sea could not have so great an effect upon her.” At6 o’clock on Thursday morning she was seen slowly working her way, when it suddenly ap- peared that her machinery got out of order, and she commenced drifting down From the well known strength of the Adantic, it was supposed that she had received no injury other than what had been done to her machi- nery, and that all on board were perfectly safe. A passenger in the Massachusetts, arrived last night from Stonington, reports the Atlantic a to- tal wreck, nothing being left but her engine and wheels, which lie on the shore above high water mark. passed the Atlantic on Thursday afiernoon, ata distance of about three quarters of a mile, at which time her smoke pipes were down, and she | appeared to be aground and dragging; but the wind was so high, and the sea so rough, the Cap- tain of the Massachusetts dare not go any closer to her. On the return of the Massachusetts to this city, | she again passed within half a mile of that once | magnificent boat, and found her gone to pieces, nothing remaining but the machinery and wheels. Those on board the Massachusetts saw several persons on the shore, supposed to be passengers of the ill-fated steamer; but the safety of the Mas- | sachusetts, and algo the lives of the passengers, prevented that boat approaching any nearer, | the wind not having abated in the least. Two fishing boats made every effort to get to | Packet Buitpine.—The launch of the Sir Robert ' Peel, which was to have taken place yesterday afternoon, had, in consequence of a continuance of westerly winds, to be again postponed.

The maatter twice before them—the first time for a period of many weeks—they have not reported yet. To those who are acquainted with the immense amount of business daily transacted by this ferry, and the magnitude of the public interest that suf- fers by the manner it is at present conduct.d, itis ‘8 matter of surprise that it has so long escaped public condemnation. Jersey city and suburbs contain some eight thousand inhabitants, many of them our own citizens, who re induced to live there for econo- my’s sake. These are, of course, depending on this ferry, but they are nota tithe of the multi- tudes who daily and hourly pass between the two cities, Some idea of the business can be formed from the fact, that, in addition to Jersey City, the people of all the large towns, Newark, Rahway, New Brunswick, Paterson and Philadelphia, &c. &c., as well as ali the freight that passes between those places and the city of New York, likewise, pass over this ferry, as well as all the freight from this city to those places. A company enjoying so much patronage would, one would suppose, exert themselves to please the public, and by having the rate of terriage re- duced low enough to be within the means of all, mecourage the swarming population of New York @ reside in Jersey City, and thus contribute to the benefit of both cities, and extend their own business as well. But that short-sighted policy, characteristic of corporations,actuates this as well as others, and no movement will ever be made towards either reducing the ferriage, or providing better accommodations for their patrons, until the public voice is brought to bear upon,them. Like all other associations they think themselves impregnable—they wrap them- selves in their monopoly, and defy public opinion; they rest satisfied in their fancied security, but like ail objects that ever came in contact with the popular will, they must and will succumb to it or perish. Public opinion is already arrayed against this company, and in the nature of things would wring from them all that is desired in a short tim, butit is not necessary to wait the time that would be required to do it in that way, because the Common Council of New York own the ferry rights which this company enjoy, and can at any moment take them away and give them to anoth- er company, on such terms ag they please.

Beth | Were encored, and a series of varistions on “ Yankee Doodle ” were substituted for one of them. It was a de- | {icious and fanciful creation, and received with deafening | manifestations of delight by the audience. Signora Pico sang as she always does, and did she limit herself more to | the contralto, and less to the soprano notes, her style would be devoid of blemish. Julia Northall and Mra. Loder were in good voice, and were loudly applau ded. De Begnis was more himself than e and his terzetto with Pico and Northall was encored. The duet | of Timm and Fontana, was one of the gems of the eve ning; nor must we omit the admirable performance of the orchestral performers. We never heard them to greater advantage. Kyle, with his flute, delighted eur cars in | his accompaniment to the violin duet. On Thursday | next Sivori will give his last concert in this city, assisted by not only all the talent engaged last evening, but we are glad to learn that Madame Ablamowioz, who in this eity, in Philadelphia and Boston, has met with such suc- cess, will also assist at the entertainment, which we shall | refer te more particularly at another time. The late” ness of the hour forbids any further remark, vise all lovers of music, all who delight in what is su- premely exquisite and celestial in sound, to go and lis, ten to the silvery warblings of Sivori’s bow. Intem Evenines.—A very large and fashionable au- dience greeted Mr. Lover lest evening, at Palmo’s. As usual he entertained his hearers with some of his anec- dotes and songs, of which his stock appears unlimited— illustrating the bright spots on his countrymen’s charac- ter, and the apparent inconsistencies that form it.

The “Flying Dutchman” was next performed, De Bar ying Vanderdecken, and was well supported y the company. Mr. De Bar's benefit is fixed for this evening. As a popular and admirable comi¢ actor, he holds @ very prominent position upon ‘stage, and is highly t the Bowery Theatre. His merits as an actor give him a strong pubiic claim, upon his friends in particular ; and he has put forth a bill that, independent of his claims, will insure him a bumper house this evening. We trust we shall see every nook and avenue from gallery to pit filled up on the occasion, as few have stronger claims upon the patrons of " Old Bowery.” Tae Atuamna.—Herr Alexander, the great magician, will egein commit suicide this evening at this establish. ment.

Sales to-day of Harlem, Norwich, and Reading were large, and the operations were almost exclusively con- fined to the fancy railroad stocks. Harlem went up } per cent; Reading R.

The stock market does not wear a very healthy appearance, and it is the gene- ral impression in the street that adecline in nearly every stock in the list will be experienced soon after the meet- ing of Congress. We do not see anything likely to sus- tain prices, particularly fer fancy stocks. The business of the Miami Canal this year, compared with last, shows a very great increase.
