INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS, Affairs in W>shington. Wasniveron, Jan. 30, 1848. The State of the Case. We are all in confusion, aud in confusion dai- ly becoming worse confounded. It is a complex» intricate and inexplicable confusion. Demo- crats and whigs, we are ull perplexed, and stand utterly ata loss which way to move. Milton’s Lucifer was never in a greater quandary. The chances of peace—the great issues dependent upon the prosecution of the war—the squabbles in the army—the suspension of Scott—the Trist mysteries—the position of Mr. Clay—the grow- ing populerity of General Taylor—the returning affection of the old whigs to their old leader, and of the young whigs to a man that can put the bill straight through its three readings in aday—the perplexities of Mr. Polk—the perplexities of Mr Buchanan—the start of General Casa in the race—and, more than all, and worse than all, and more significant of trouble than any thing else, the horrid division in the democratic family in York State—the Greenland icy coldness between Joha Van Baren and Secretary Marcy, and then the rapidly approaching crisis in trade, com- merce and currency—-the stringency of the money mirket—the tightness of the Sub-Trea sury—the slim prospects for a good loan— the necessity of taxation; and looming sbrough all these Arendfal phantasmagoria of the political panorama, black, feariul, gigantic, and smoky, rises, like a demon at some in- fernal incaatations over the witches’ cauldron, the raw head, the grinning skull and cross- bones of the Wilmot proviso—the spectral, bony, and bloody death’s-head of abolition, woolly, and black, and yvrinaing, like a cannibal in his dranken orgies we As far as we cin make it out, this is the state of the case. All hands stand aghast. Not a man dares move forward without fevling his way like a blind man on the verge of achasm General Cass puts ona bold face in the Senate, but he betrays alurm at every cross.question f-om the other side. He seems like a man play- ing a desperate game, and is suspicious that his cards are knowa. He confesses, by his very sen- sitiveness, all that could be asked. He is found out. He is too honest to be the successful poli- tician. Hi. conscience overbalances his judg- ment, and his attempted evasions of bis position Getray the grouad he seeks to occupy. And at this present writing, everything else is all in the fog except the position of General Cass. He ac- cepted last fall from the President the office of chairman of the Military Committee. Thus far he had the vautage of alf competitors. He has but one course to pursue ia taking the trust. He must make the most of it. He must keep up the war. Peace wil! prostrate him as effective did the line of 49 on the Oregon question. The proloagation of the war can have but one result —the annexation of Mexico. That capital is his By contract it is his; he has bought it, and paid for it, and it belongs to him. Let the democratic convention assemble with the war still pending, and he is safe, and Mexico is enaoryed on tay tepec, Popocatepetl, Iztaccihuatl, Guatzacualco, Tehuantepec, and all—mines, mountains, lakes and rivers—deserte, cities, towns and villages of some twenty odd States—Spaniardg, half-breeds, Quarteroona, Zamboes, Meztizzoes, leperos, ran- cheroes, vacheroes, arricroes, priests, monks, friars, churches, convents, monasteries, hacien- das and jacales—pews and peons, alcaldes and military chieftains, beggars aud lazzaroni, fri- joles and piojoes, cayenne pepper and argua- diente ; every thing Spanish, every thing Aztec, every thing Zambo‘ or quarteroon, every thing Congo, or Cudjo, or Etmopian; all this stui! of this motley, heterogeneous, badly-mixed, ill- assorted, and half-savage, hall-breed Republica Mexicana, constituting the most inexplicable, political salmagundi, that has ever existed, will exist, or can exist much longer. All this inter- mixture of fermenting elements will become the promising materials of * a territorial appendage to the United States.” Well, sir, if any people can werk up such ma- terials 1ato any thing fit to eat, or to trade, or to wear, or to lay out in town lots, the Yankee boys are the boys to do it. The South may well look astonished, however, and cry out we are going beyond the contract—we have got Texas ; for God’s sake let us pause and reason upoa the sub- ject. Bat, gentlemen, you must reason “quickly, or the issue is made, and you are borne away in the current Gentlemen my cry ‘* Peace, peace,” but there is ne peace. It is war, it must be war —it must be annexation, it muat be Cass, unless you are bold enough to act as if the question of peace decides the question of the presidency. Tue Docror. Bartimore, Jan. 81, 1848. Arrest of Burglars, with Stolen Goods—The Greek Slave— Mons. Slack come again. Our police officers on Saturday, broke in ona _Tegular depot of stolen goods. They arrested wo Germans, who had jut stolen a couple of tables, and chased a third one to his home, which they tound filled in every part with an ex- tensive variety of stolen goods, a large portion of which has already been identified. Z. Collins Lee, Esq., on the part of Mr. Brent, and Mr. Charles H. Pitt, Esq., on the part of the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, announced in the County Court on Saturday, that the difficulty between their principals had been amicably and honor: bly settled. Mr. Johnson was arrested on Fri- day night, by thesheriff of Anne Arundel coua- ty, and held to bail in the sum of $10,000 to keep the peace. Thus ends this farce. : The Greek Slave will be exhibited in Balti- more in afew days. It has been pretty largely visited at Washington, and will doubtless draw wellhere. - For the last fifteen years this part of the coun- try has been annually visited by aman named Stack, and thousands of dollars collected from our philanthropic citizens to aid in building up a college at Georgetown, D. C.; but latterly the location has been changed to Fairfax, Va. When he calls on a Protestant, he tells a piteous tale of Catholio persecution, and when he meets a Ca- tholie he complains that his efforts have always been thwarted PY, Protestant enmity. He has a book of printed fetters from all the heads of col- Jeges aad promicent men at the North, not one of which we believedte be genuine. He isnow in thie city, aad I am glad to perceive that some of our papers are warning our citizens against his smooth and deceptive tongue. Putvapevraia, Jan. 31, 1848. Bold Attempt at Robbery—Steamship Columbus. A daring attempt to remove the deposits in the fire proof safe of the Globe Fire insurance and Trust Company, was discovered and foiled early yesterday morning, by the watchman discovering a suspicious looking individual loitering about the vicinity. The watchman gave the alarm, but not procuring assietance early enough, three villsing sprang out, and knocking him down, made their escape in double quick time. They had entered the tea store on the first floor, with the intention of breaking through the partition upon the stairway leading to the insurance office, which was located in the second story. The regues, inthe flurry occasioned by the watch- man’s rattle, left behind them a most complete set of burgiar’s tools, for breaking iato iron chests, including powder to blow open locks. The design was to spend Sunday in the building, and they had a large supply of bread and victuals, brandy and water,to regale themselves with They alsohad sacks made of ticking, resembling saddle-bags, so constructed as to be suspended from the neck of the wearers, with which they pesposed to carry off their plunder. the steamship Columbus, built for a packet between New Orleans and Havana, started this morning on an experimental trip down the river, with a large erie f onboard. She attained a speed of about 13 miles an hour, by the report of government engineers on board, for a short dis- tance below the city; but unfortunately, after passing Gloucester Point, the cast-iron shaft of the air-pump snapped in two, and the boat came to an instantaneous stop. She anchored, and af- ter acousle of hours detention, the company were taken off by the steamer Express, and brought up to the city. She isa beautiful vessel, of 700 tons, and will probably be purchased by the new com- pany just forming by our merchants, to establish a line of steamers between this city and Charles- ton. A committee of our merchants were on board, who appeared very well satisfied with her performance uatil the break ot the vhaft occur- red. The break could not have happened at a better time, as the shafts will now be replaced by wrought iron. The engine, us well as the propeller, is of Capt Loper’s invention, and the trial hus proved that the vessel is capable of at- taining fifteen miles an hour, under more ad- vantageous circumstances.

AserisanesMesken 4@ups, Maramonas, Jan. 4, 1845. Affairs on the Rie .Grande—Intereating Intelli- gence. The ruling powers here, at present, are distri- bated as follows :—Col. W. Davenport, Governor, and by rank second ir command on this line, ince the departure of General Taylor, and, con- idering his many and arduous duties, grves general satisfaction. Capt. Chapman is Quarter- master; and collector of internal revenues—and, from his well-known business qualities, gives universal satisfaction. Maj. Wm. Coleahoun is in charge of the Commissary Department, and Collector of Customs, and itis saying but little when I declare, that this high trust could not be placed in better hands. This city is garrisoned by Cul. Temple’s command of five companies of the tenth regiment, with,Capts. Gee and Dun- lap’s companies of cavalry. Col. Temple is just recovering froma severe illoess, witch at one time gave but little hope o: his surviving. This has beena very sickly season’ here, and great numbers have touad there last earthly resting place. A new order of things commenced on the first instant. From that day ceases the power of the Mexicans over the revenues of the city, all being received and disbursed by Capt. Chapman, whose first move was to organize an Am-rican police, aud the next move will be to establish and en- courage public schools, wherein both the English and Spanish will be taught. It 1s not known what revenue may be derived from the city, but it is presumed tnat it will cover all ordinary ex- penses, and leave a surplus, to improve the streets aod puolie buildings. 8 The Mexicans appear to rejoice that the Al- caldes have ceased to have power—it being merely an honorary office—yet, from the controi of the revenue, they have ever managed to en- rich themselves. This, however, is nothing Strange venality and corruptionare predominant in the Mexican character, from the President dowa to the most subordinate officer. The first item of export duty which arrived on the morn- ing of the first, was one hundred thousand del- lars in silver bullion, the export duty being near six thousand dollars. I am informed that the revenue has already been sufficient to pay the ordinary expenses on this whole line, and when the communication 1s opened towards Victoria and Linares, the trade of this city will increase very rapidly. A post is soon to be established, about fifty miles on the Victoria road, for the purpose otf driving off all guerillas amd-commis:ioners, thus enabling the tr:ders to pass unmole-red We have nothimg worthy of note irom ibove. All toingsare quiet. We have had severa! iurge robberies here of late, aud I leary that thiigs are in 4 train to get hold of all ihe parties con- cerned, Wuo are Mexicans. Coi. Curusco, who has been somewher : near the scenes of every action, trom Palo Alio to Buena Vista, and the city of Mexico, returned here a few days since, and reported himself to Col. Davenport, wuo has given him permission to remaia with his family; and having resigned the arduous duties of the field of bloody strite, is now deuling monte for us Americans. 1 could write you much more about the doings and transactions, but must wait till [ have more tume to condense facts. I wish to give you some account of individuals, and some history of the manner in which the Americans have managed to smuggle in whiskey, aod otherwise thwart the vigilance of military tule. I will merely mention, that the court tor trial of civil and criminal cases, is formed from the officers of the Tenth Regiment, and ae they are at times rather prone to go beyond the law, I presume they have given some salutary verdicts.

Resolved, That we take pleasure in announcing te the friends of Geuersi Taylor ail over the republic, that we have the best reasons for sssuring them that, come what may, General Taylor will not retire from the porition in relation to the Presidency in which the people have placed him. Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the refasal of General Taylor to become the candidate of apy particular party, so far from constituting a just ground of complaint, should be considered as evidence Me his superior qualifications for the disdharge of the in electing General Taylor to the Pre- sidential chair. we seeure, in the administration of pub tic affairs, n strict ebservance of the eoustitution, and the general principles of policy maintained by Washing- ton, Jefferson a14 Madison. Resolved, That the lofty patriotiem, the sound judg- ment, the ster!ing integrity of General Taylor, and more especially the eminent services he has rendered the coun- try dariog the present war with Mexico, constitute the surest guaranty that the fature conduct of this war will be safe in Lis hands, and that no tres:y of peace can reeeive his eaoction that will compromit ine honor and interesis of our country. Resolved, That our hearts are filled with joy and pride at the hope of neeing inthe elevated place once Giled by our illustrious Washington, amen who him, can kaow no patiy but his country, be ruled by a0 motives but duty and patriotirm.

Montaomery, Ala., Jan. 25, 1848 Progress of Montgomery—Fashtons—Cabs—Me- teor—New Mayor—Rascality—Polities—Rail- road—Gen. Taylor, §. This is certainly destined to be a great city.— One by one, country customs and country fash- ions are lopped off, and our citizens ape the cus- toms, manners and fashions of the great metropo- lie. Every thing ‘‘citified” must be introduced amongst us. We have had our Mayor and Coun- cil; our midnight balls and parties; our whis- kered dandies flourishing their gold headed canes; our oysters, ginger pop and our omnibus; but we can now boast of our cab. Yes, ‘tell it not in Gath,” the first cab made its appearance on our streets .yesterday. It will form the commencement of a new era in the history of our town, Which will henceforth be more of a city. On the 17th inst., Edward H. Harris, Esq., waselected Mayor of this city by a majority of 231 votes over his opponent, Perez Colman, Esq. ‘The Mayor elect is a whig, though the election was not conducted upon party grounds. A new Conneil was also elected at the same time Ou Friday morning last, a meteor of consider- able size was seen by many persons in this vi- cinity. It was also seen in almost every section of the State trom which we have heard. It passed very swiftly through the air, making con- siderable noise, from the east towards the west. lt was between 10 and 104 o’ciock A.

Re- port has it, that he even proposed for the hand of one of our most cnentepliahed young ladies. He was thought by some to be one of the most ta- lented, eloquent, pious and devoted of diviney, and was consequently almost worshipped Having taken in some of the worthy brethren to the tune of $150 or $200 in the shape of loans, presents, &c, he left tnem—and atter he was gone, a report reached here, that he was an es- eaped convict ; but whether he had been previ- ously convicted ornot, isa matter of no moment, as those who cherished him when here kuow now that he isin a fair way ‘o visit the peniten- tiary of the State of Louisiana, as a representa- tive from the city of New Orieans, he having been concerned in a robbery, und been arrested, with a portion ef the stolen property iu his pos- session. I trust that this will be a warning to our citizens, aad will teach them in future to be- ware how they fondle strangers. [t would have been better if the same hospitalities had been extended to some of the many worthy yonug men ia our ety, Who hive never even been ine vited to darken the doors of those who were le- vish in their attentions to an impostor. The democratic couveation of our sister State, Mississ'ppi, refused to nominate George M. Dal- tas for President, and Gen. Quitman tor Vice President. From this I should think that Walker stock was below par at home. Ag much as hasbeen said of South Carolina and ner politicians, it must be admitted, that whenever that gallant State dues anything, she does it handsomely. She has ordered the sum ot $5,000 to be deposited in New Orleans, tor the purpose of aidiog the sick and disabled sol- ciers of the Palmetto regiment to reach their homes. All that the geueral government does for them, is to put them ashore at New Orleans, and from there they must work their way home, as best they can. oben bau they reach there shockingly mutilated, without a dollar in their pockets, and without the first friend to extend to thema helping hand. And could the Legislatures of the different States see the helpless condition of too many of our gallant soldiers, just returned from the fields of their fame, as we in this reat thoroughtare see them, they would one and all make a similar humane provision. Joel Riggs, Esq., of Tuscaloosa, has been elected Comotrolier, and William Graham, Esq., of Autauga, Treasurer of the Scate of Alabama. Gov. Chapman yesterday returned the bill chartering ihe Mobile and Ohio Ratiroad, witn aveto. This is the more to be regretted, as we have just learned from Nashville, that the Legis- lature ot Tennessee has appropriated $614,000 of State Bonds, towards the construction of that portion of the road, which would lie within that State. An attempt will be made to pass the bill in defiance of the veto, or if that cannot be done, to amend so as to secure its enactment. _ There is to be another Toylor meeting in this city to-night. The Taylor bali is rolling over Alabama with the force of a tornado, prostrat- ing everything before it. ALaBaMa. Franxeont, Ky., Jan. 25, 1848. The Constitution of Kentucky--Movement in Po- litics— Trouble Ahead. This being peculiarly a ‘* progressive” age in all things, and particularly in State govern- ments, Kentucky, ever on the alert, is about to revise her constitution. The people have once voted in favor of calling a convention, and a bill has passed the Legislature now in session, again suvmitting the question for their final determi- nation. At first, the opposition was strong; but the vote already tuken ag put a quietus to the opposition; and those who were at first its strong opponents, are now loudly telling their reasons for being in favor of a convention. A few of the leading conventionists are determined that the new constitution shall contain a provision for the gradual abolition of slavery; while others declare that so long as there is a black skin in Kentucky, it should be heidin bondage. But that a majority are opposed to slavery, or, at least, to the increase of slaves, is clearly shown by a vote upon a bill repealing the law of 1833, prohibiting the importation of slaves, which was just takea in the Senate; the vote stood 19 to 17 against the third reading. The House stands in avout the same proportion. The democrats heid an informa! meeting here, a short time since; by a poruoa of the party it was called a gubernatorial nominating conven- tion; ou a majority were opposed to making a nomination ual the whigs “ shown their haud,” and the meeting adjourned according- ly, to meet again the 16th of March. The whig. convention is to be held im this place on the 22d of February ; and amongthe many candidates for nomination, Archibeld Dixow, the present Lieutenant Governor, and Willian J Graves, are most prominent. Dixon is opposed by the coaventionisis, Wao assert thet he is an anti- convention man, and insist that bis nomination would be a defeat ot the whig party; but he is supported by the Letcher faction of the whig party, together wita that portion of the State called the Green River country; while Graves is supported by the Owsley facu which com- prises the whole of the present administration. The democrats have thus far held out as their candidates, David Merriweather and A. G. Hawes; but General William O, Batler, now oi Mexico, who has been kept behind the cur- tains, will, at the proper time, rush out and leave the whig nominee in that rear position which “lends enchautment to the view.” That Kentucky wall ever desert Henry Clay— her favorite son—canaot in truth be asserted ; but that she would preter to ** swim” with Tay lor than to “sink” with Clay, is clearly evi- dent trom the Taylor movement. Tne anxious inquiry here is, will New York go for Clay ? A uegative answer throws him overboard. A Taylor convention also assembles here on the 22d of February; and the Legislature has order- eda hundred guns to be fired to his honor on that day, as the anniversary of Buena Vista. Resolutions have been introduced into both branches of this legislature, declaring that “ the present war with Mexico was foanded in impe- rative fecessity on our part, and could not have been avoided without hazarding the honor of the nation,” &c., but huve not yet been acted upen. The weather for the truly delightful. past ten days has been Cicrro Gen. Pirrce’s Spescu ar Concorp, N.

They had proved themselves brave, de- voted, eelf-ssorificing apirits And Concord, too, w well represented among them. There was Henry Cal well—one of the bravest aud determined soldiers in the army. There was Sergeant Stowell, who hot, pomp through the heart at Churubusco. As his last breath flowed, he whispered to me—":Do the boys sey | behave well? if | have. write home to my people’ Then there was Sergeant Pike, who had his leg shot off in ad vancing along on a causeway swept by three batteries Two amputations, which did not answer the purpose, were performed, and a third was deemed hopeless.
