The yxme was resumed by the Syraca us at about 10 o'clock, A.M, The playeis were alli \mirable trim, apd the game was, if possible, played th more skill than on the day previous. The Uticans - d an opportu- nity of showing some of the finesti: 11g ever wit- nested. Their bowling was the sunjec «1 general ad- miration among the spectators. The }] of Mexars. Foster, Smith and Wickins, as bowl» contributed much to the decision uf the game inft: : of the Uti- ans. There was some batting sh» ’n on the part of Pierron and rome others of the Syra:: ¢ club. but owing to the skill and watchfalness of t \> Utica field- ers. it availed them litle, At twelve o': >ck the last yieket went down, and Syracuse had seo 1 forty-nine —a better gume than the day before, but still not enough. with their first irnings, to equal the si imnings of the Utica club. The following 1s the sum- ming tp of the match :— Utica, Syracuse. let Innings... Total..... + 25158 Total... 2.2000 70 We heard it remarked by experienced cricketers on the ground, that they had never seen better crick-t- ing either in England or America, than was shewn in this match. We believe, from what we saw, that both parties exerted themselves to the utmost, and we are confident that more skillful playing has never been exhibited in any match in this section of the State. — Utica Herald. Policat ince! . Democratic Dissensions eRMoNT.—The N H. Statesman \earns from a gentleman directly Montpelier, Vt., that there was a_ serious division in the Loco ’Foco State Convention then am seesion at that place, somewhat similar to that which took place at Baltimore. It seems that several towns had chosen each two sets of dele- gates, consisting of Cass and anti-Cass men, and that the Convention d out the anti-Cass and received Cass ef This proceeding excited the displeasure of some filteensmembers, who withdrew from the Convention. It is supposed that the seceders, amongst whom are some promi- nent members of the A ts , will frame a Van Buren electoral ticket.” The following nominations were at length made: Hon. Paul Dillingham, Jr., for Governor; Chas. K. Field, Lieutenant Governor ; J.T. Marston, for Treasurer. John S. Robinson, of Bennington, and Lev: B. Vilas, of Chelsea, for Presidential electors at large. Gen. Taytor’s Nomration.—The R-leigh (N. C.) Register says:—“ We know that Gov. More- head addressed a letter to Gen. Taylog announc- ing his nomination, and meant his acceptance, on the*evening of Fnday, the 9th of June, and de- spatched it by mail. That the general has not re- ceived it, whether the result of crime or accident in mail agents, is much to be regretted. We doubt not that Gov. Morehead, on seeing the above paragraph, will repeat his communication by the most expeditious means.” The New Orleans Picaywne of the 6th inst. says that Gen. Taylor, who was then in New Orleans, had not, at the time rectived Gov. Morehead’s letter. Tic Ratirication Meeting at Provi- pence.--On Thursday evening, siechanics’ Hall was crowded by the democracy of Providence, who were most enthusiastic for Cass and Butler Thomas W. Dorr was called to the chair, but asked to be excused on account of the iufirm state of bis health. The people, however, insisted, and he took his seat. Mr. D. addressed the assembly mn a brief speech, which was most heartily cheered. Free Sor, Meeting 1x Loweit.—There was a lagge free soil meeting held in Lowe'l on the 12th inst.

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS, MONEY MARKET, Saturday, July 15.6 P. M, The stock market opened and closed heavy to-day. the principal Prices fell off a fraction, and the transactions were to | @ very limited extent. The money market has tight- ened within the past day or two, and fancy stooks feel it ver) sensibly. Treasury notes and government stocke are exceedingly sensitive, and appear to be drooping. At the first board to-day, Treasury Notes deel ned 4 per cent; Harlem, \; Kentucky, \; Far- mers’ Loan, 4; Morris Canal, ‘4; Erie Railroad, new, fall, 34; and Long Island, 34. It will be perceived that the closing prices to-day are several per cent lower than those of Saturday last. We have received the annexed communication re- lative to the telegraphic companies, which throws some light upon the operations and present condition of the Albany and Buffale line, from its commence- ment :— New Yorx, Auvaxy anv Burraco Teteararn Co. J. G, Bennett s— | Sir'—In your paper of 10th instant, I notice you say | of telegraph companies: “We have had many inquirics addressed to us of late relative to tho electric tele- graph companies, as to how far they are dividend pay- | dng concerns. We wish that we had some information to give in reply to these inquiries; but we must plead much ignorance, and great want of knowledge, on this subject” As you seek information on this subject, allow me to ftate, very briefly, » few facts respecting the New York, Albany and Buffalo Telegraph Company. ‘This line is 510 miles long ; capital stock is $183 600; has been in operation one year and eight months to May Ist, 1848; hus poid the stockholders eleven per gent on the capital, and has also paid out of the earn- a over $14,000 for reconstruction—showing that, the stockholders about nineteen per cent on the capital it may be proper to remark here, that when this line was firet constructed, the patentoes thought copper wire was the best m: 1 that could be used ; but on trial it was found that iron wire was equally good asa conductor, very much stronger, and, consequently, much more reliable; and the company, being anxious to adopt the best and most reliable moans, immediately adopted the iron wire, at great expense and trouble, in order to meet the demands and wishes of those who ‘ure the telegraph as a means of communication, Yours, &e. A STOCKHOLDER. ‘This is all very patisfactory, so far as this company is concerned; but we should like to know if there is not such a concern in existence as the Boston and New York Telegraphic Company, or something of that Kind. We baves pretty distinct recollection of pay- ing up a subscription to the stock of some such compa- and all the evidence we have since had that the concorn was in existence, has been sending bills for telegraphing, amounting some weeks to several hundred dollars, which have been promptly paid. There is no doubt but that these companies are ex- ceedingly productive and profitabl id are able to pay large dividends upon the cost of construction; but for fome reason or other, the Boston company have never divalged any of thoir financia’ affairs, and the stéck- holders are ignorant of anything connected with the appropriations of their payments. The line has for the past two years been doing a Jarge and, of course, a Profitable business, This we know.

The Covit of Inquiry— Aw Episode mm the War— Tie War Department and General Scott. ‘The Court of Inquiry met, pursuant to adjourn- on Wednesday last, in this city. In conse- qnence ef the resignation of Gen, Cushing, there were but two membess preeent—Gen, Towson and Col. Belknap. Gen. Pillow appeared, and remark- ed thot he held in his hand a paper stating that, when he preferred the charges against Gen, Scott, he did ¢o in order to bring out certain facts which he had been fearful would not appear in his own ease. However, he was now perfectly satisfied with the facts which had been adduced, and which he considered completely exonereted him from all bleme ; and as he had no personal animosities to gratify, he was now desirous of withdrawing his charges against Gen. Scott, if consistent, in the opi- nion of the Ceurt, with justice. Gen. ‘Towson re- plied that the Secretary of War was the proper person to receive the paper in question, more es- pecially as the Court was not full. The Court then adjourned. General Pillow has since trantmitted a paper to the above purport to the Seeretary of War; bat with what result has not yet transpired. It 1s said that a_ difficulty exists, which may prevent the ‘War Depaitment from allowing the charges to be dropped. It appears that Gen. Scott, previous to the battle of Chapultepec, held frequent commu- nications with Santa Anna, and finally agreed to ay him $10,000 if he would use his influence to Erinatoute teat of peace. The sum was paid over to Senta Anna, who made it a condition that Gen. Scott should march to the gates of the city ot Mexico, and there opesie wily Mexican general stating that the fact of a large army being right at their doors would induce the authorities to sub- seribe to any treaty which would ensure their safety. Gen. Scott followed this plan—with what sucecss is well known—and Santa Anna pocketed the dollars, The War Department denies having iven apy authority directly, or indirectly, for Gen ott’s diplomeey in this instance; and in order to pieventthe enemies of the administration from using itas a Weapon against them when the counts are produced and the operation comes. to light, they may insist upon Pillow’s charges being investigated—and one of the charges bears on this very matter. The charges still remain in the hands of the Secretary of War, not having been returned to the Court. Omea@a. Wasuineron, July 13, 1848. The Compromise Committee—Mr. Sevier. The committee of the Senate, constituted on Mr. Clayton’s motion, is capable of terminating, by their action, the grave and dangerous difficulty be- tween the Northand the South, and of disarming the demagogues and fanatics of both sections, of a weapon which they are using to the great detri- ment of the country, It is no use to grumble at the selection made—but it might have been much better, and, in some instances, it could not have been worse. It was too bad to put Mr. Phelps on this committee. ‘The choice of Mr. Dickinson was nearly as bad; although it was fitting that New York should have a voice in the settlement of the question, and of the two, Mr. Dickinson was, per- haps, the less objectionable. From the fact that Mr. Calhoun accepted a place on this gommittee, there is reason to believe that he 13 disposed to come to some compromise. Surely, if he did not feel such a disposition, he would have protested against being placed upon a board constituted for the express purpose of compromise. It would be Pelli Ir. Calhoun to entertain such a suspi- cion. If he felt conscientiously opposed to all compromise, he would, beyond all question, have protested against beng niaced. in such a position as to defeat the object for which the committee was raised. But there 1s now a doubt whether or not the committee will report for adoption, the naked ba- sis of the Missouri compromise. There is a diffi- culty inthe way. Mr. Underwood, though alaw- ba has a conscience, 1t seems; . that conscience rida on this particular point, to be impracti- e«ble, [tis not India-rubber or even gutta percha —it is granite on the slavery question. Mr, Underwood’s conscience tells Mr. Underwood that there ought to be slavery South of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes, whether the people wish it or not,—whether it be compatible with the soil and climate or not,—and Mr. Underwood, therefore, cannot§porsibly agree that South of that line it be left an open question. His conscience is ‘nflexible. Now, it 18 fiting that the consciences of a com- promise committee should be of more ductile ma- terials. A solid, inflexible conecience has no busi- ness on tuch a committee; and in this point ofview, perhaps, the appointment of Mr, Dickinson an Mr. Phelps were signa propriate. The committee have in their power to do good service to their country. Will they act ener- Li esq idee promptly ? atin Mr. Sevier has arrived, bringing, of course, no late news; he does not think the revolution in Mexico will be of any importance. He deems the government sufficiently strong to maintain itself for the present. Gatvignsis. Wasninaton, July 14, 1848. Politics. There’is trouble brewing for Mr. Crittenden, in Kentucky. A letter has been received here from a Mr. Anderson, of Cincinnati, who avers that before the holding of the Philadelphia Convention, he received a letter from Mr. Crittenden, urging him to exert himself to have Taylor delegates sent from Okio—that Mr. Clay had always been beaten, and would be again, if nominated— that he was a burden to the party, and should be shaken ofi—and more to the same effect. Mr. Crittenden still declares, I understand, to the fiiends of Mr. Clay, that he was anxious for that gentleman’s nomination that he was his first choice—and that he consented to take up General Taylor’s name merely because he was available On the other hand, Mr. Mangum, himself a strong partizun of General Taylor, declared in his place, in the Senate, in reply to Mr, Foote, that Mr. Crit- tenden would, in all probability, form a member of General Taylor’s cabinet, in the event of the latter’s election to the Presidency. From this it would appear that General Taylor’s friends have Tegarded Mr. Crittenden as favorable to his nomi- nation, — Mr, Crittenden will have some difficulty in ex- peining this diserepapcy, and yet it must be ex- plained to the satisfuetion of Mr. Clay’s friends be- fore they will consent to support Mr. Crittenden in his canvass. There are the strongest indications that Mr. Clay will not exert himself to give suc- eces to cither General Taylor or Mr. Crittenden. The old man must entertain very bitter feelings to- wards the lanier, if he bog ct him of a dereliction from his standard. The desertion of the man up on whom he perhaps most relied, must be to him arource of poignant mortification. But with or without Mr. Clay’s aid, Mr. Crittenden is a formi- dable candidate in Kentucky. There will be a hard contest, the great popularity of General Butler in his own State neutralizing, as regards the Presidential ticket, the strength of General Tay- lor's name. The friends of General Butler, in Kentucky, are pcranent atthe treatment he has received at the hands of the civic authorities of New Orleans. Itseems that he has not been treated with the same official consideration as General Scott or jeneral Taylor. His friends say that his partici- pation in the defence of the city, under Jackson, if not his exploits in the Mexican war, and the uiRe position he occupied as commander-in-chiet of the army, entitle him to those municipal honors which were conferred on General Taylor, which were promised to General Scott, if he had passed through, and would have been extended to General Butler but from party consideratior 8, the city go- vernment of New Orleans being, in politics, of t whig persuasion. If the honors referred to were withheld because of party considerations, the city of New Orleans has been disgraced by its Common Council.

During this week there have been several cau- cuses of whigs and democrats separately, and democrats and whigs collectively.

[tis thie— does the territory of New Mexico, east of the Rio Grande, and including Santa Fe, and square miles of territory (more or less) belong to Texas or not? Texas claims —it was admitted to belong to Texas in the resvlutions of annexa- tion; but, Texas never conquered it, never oecu- pied an inch of it, and neither the authorities of the United States nor of Texas exercised, or pre- tended to exercise, any actual jurisdiction ever it, tilt conquered and oecupied by the United States forces, under Gen. Kearny. “He displaced the Mexican Governor, and the Mexican flag rom the Mexican government house at Santa Fe; he eu- perseded by a new code of laws, the Mexican Fe- deral and mea, statutes. He did not finda Texan in New Mexico, nor did he appear to be aware that Texas could have the shadow of a claim to the territory till he received the protest of her Governor against the provi=ianal government, which the general had established in the name ol the United States. as the fundamental law of New Mexico. Then it was that he was informed that he had made a mistake—that Armigo was nota Mexican Governor—that the yellow people of San- ta Fe were Texans, and that New Mexico wae. part of Texas. ‘ The face 18, every other claim of Texas to: #+ Mexico 18 utterl: prenopiendus, A claim set up tu Calitorma would be just as good, apart from the resolutions of annexation. The terms of the an- nexation are the only ground which Texas ean present as a claim upon New Mexico; and this she can only present as u ground for a demand that the territory shall be ceded to her, not that she pow sessesit. No sort of Sophiatiy- “dothiog in the way of ingenuity—can make the boundary ofNew Mexico the Rio Grande, as transferred trom Mexi- co to the United States. Nothing but a nai actcan make the river the eastern line of New Mexico. In jnstice to Texas that act ought to be paseed, ya yl begat the deception in the businéss ol annexation. ‘The United States cannot plead the plea of ignorance in violation of a contract... The contract requires the renewal of the sxiatiaee tiie, and a deed in fee simple of the py ‘exas may admit the trick, and plead to the letter and the spirit of the parchment. She may plead that if she had not conquered the territcry, she Would in due season have despatched another “Santa Fe expedition, which would have given her a’valid tangible claim, and which would thus have guper- seded the necessity of the expedition of General Kearny. But «it happened otherwise. The terri- tory was conquered by the United States, and not by Texas. It 1s to be paid for by the United States , as part of the territories ceded under the late treaty, sag Sai of the cession of Texas. New Mexico is theretore a territory of the United States ; and the question 1s not does it belang to Texas ! but shall it be given to Texas im vistue of the ecmipens of annexation? : It will have to be done—the boundary indieated by the resolutions of annexation requires it} 5 under thoseeresolutions, indeed, the territory to the Rio Grande became a part ot Texas, with the Tatification of the late treaty with Mexico. , Admitting, then, that the territory to she Rio Grande belongs to Texas, it would only be meces- sary to extend the line one mile west from the western bank of the river, to include all of the ter- ritory that is inhabitable. Westwa:d from the narrow, border of the Rio Grande to the lofty mountains which overlook the Pucific, a distanee of 700 miles, there will be no necessity for any Serene t save the flag of the United States. ithin this longitudinal fine, ine!uding the small remnant weet of the Bravo, of New Mexico, and all that vast region to the Sierra Nevada, embra- cing 400,000 square miles of California, there will be no Fs sage Oe laws to protect free labor or slave Jabor. ‘hy? | Because it is a deeert, a wild, blank, howling wilderness of confused moan- tains, of bald rocks, and plains of scorching sands; a chaos of volcanic ruins—a volcanic waste, not yet cooled down; a region, us deseribed by Colonel Fremont, “ ot fracture, of violence, and ot fire.” What we expect, then, at the present session (of the Senate, at least,) is, the extension of the Mis- soutl compromise to the Pacific; a territorial go- vernment, and a regiment of horse for Oregon, the revenue laws over New Mexico and Calitor- nia, and a discretion to the Presideat for the go- vernment of these two territories in the interreg- num to another Congress.
