INTELLIGESCE BY TUE MAILS. Wasninoton, Aug. 30, 1848. Dnrspensation of Executive Patronage—A few scraps of Distinguished Indeviduals—A Remark by the Way—Brevets, §¢. There are mavy honest brother democrats wh actually believe that the present administration 1s «not only pure, but above suspicion.” Mr. Ritchie at one time boldly avowed that he came here ‘not to cover up abuses;” but, although he has resided ia the city over three years, he has seen nothing whatever to condemn in his patron. Such pliant and trucklng senbblers would justify monarchy, and titles of nobility, 1f they were so directed. It is a notorious fact that Senator Sevier put into his pocket thousands of dollars by the negotiation of the Arkansas bonds; the bonds which absorbed the Smithsonian fund. Subsequently a Senator, he charged and recetved seventeen hundred dol- tars for a constructive journey to Arkansas, when he did not travel a single mile. In 1845, the Senate adjourned on the third of March; on the inaugura- tion of Mr. Polk, on the fourth, it was called together to pass upon nominations; and having, by construction, travelled between the two days away down to the lvothpick State, the hon. Senator demanded pay accordingiy, and got it oo! The President selected this man from the other demo- crats in the Senate, (not because he was the most talented, or possessed of any talents at all, but be- cause he was the most during.) to advovate and poke through Mr. Trist’s treaty. Under the ne- cessity of the case, to have peace on any terms, the Senate keeled over into its support, and Mr. Sevier was sent out as one of the commissioners to Mexico, with a salary of nine thousand dollars, and an outfit of as much more, together with et ceteras. Mr. Sevier, having tasted of the sweets ct public hfe, is suiving very hard, in Arkansas, to come back to the Senute, and the President of the United States 1s very anxieus that he shoulddo so, One good turn deserves another. 3 Our present Minister to Russia, Mr. Bagby, in 1845, also took nine hundred and sixty dollars for a “constructive journey!” He travelled to and back from Alabama as soon as Sevier did from Arkansas! It will be recollected that he had bit- terly oppo-ed the annexation of Texas, on a quib- ble, and that he atterwards voted for the measure ! ‘The private affairs of this gentleman were much straiiened, and, last summer, on being arrested for debt, he plead that he was a Senator! The Pre- sident, in the goodness of his heart, has given him the mission to Russia, with a salary of nine thou- sand dollars and an outfit of nine thousand; and, besides, a son of his hus been appointed a cadet at West Point. | And here, it should be remarked, the vacancy of Mr. Bagby inthe Senate gave room for Mr. King, of Alabama, (who came to the city last May, and, as a consequence, was early on the ground.) I donot wish tobe understood as im- pugning the honor or honesty of the gentlemen to whom I have alluded; but, a8 they occupy public stations, the people wre interested in knowing everything relating to their history. The latest act of kindness of the President is the offer of the governorship of Oregon to General Shields. It is believed here that the object was to get the General out of the States, so that a reater favorite trom Illinois should continue to fc his seat. The General’s wounds, according to the Union, would not admit of his taking the wearisome journey! In fact, he preferred running for the United States Senate. ; There are a good many complaints about the brevet distinctions bestowed upon officers in out army. Men of merit have been neglected, while others have been honored without stint. It is use- Jess for the complainants to make known their rievances, unless through distinguished friends of the administration. No wonder Senator West- cott talked of throwing certain high functionaries into the Potomac. : ~ Living here permanently, acquainted with many of the wires atteched to the governmental ma- chinery, it is more painful than pleasurable to tell these honest truths, although the stigma of grumb- ler may be attached to Fer Wasnincron, August 30, 1848. The news of the defection of the Albany whigs was received here, by the Democratic Association, with great gratification. Anxiously did the said association await further revelations by magnetic telegraph, in the hope that Harry of the West, or some other Harry, would be nominated by the Al. bany sap-heads, and thus secure the election of General Cass. Alas! for the realization of human hepes ; the telegraph brought the intelligence that the matter had been settled, and that the Taylor flag would sti’! continue to float from the mast-head of the Journal. We cannot imagine a more absurd position than that assumed by these same gentlemen of Albany. boats entered for the race, and \ started from Kerr’s wharf, sailing around the white rocks and back, a distance about 18 miles. The first prize was won by the * Fairy,” a Phila- delphia built boat, sailed by Mr. Henry Kelly. The Champion, Baltimore built boat, sailed by Mr. Richard Bradenhouse, returned to the start- ing point scarcely a minute behind her succeseful competitor. The second prize was won by the Antoinette, sailed by Mr. Daniel Evans. The race attracted an immense concourse to the wharves in the lower section of the city, and the spor! wasexcelient. : ‘The steam tow-boat telief was sold at auction romeray for $13,000, for clams amounting to about $25,000, She was boughtin by the eredi- tors, who intend to establish a company, and keep her engaged in the business of towing. We will have five theatrical establishments open next week. The three now in full blast are doing a very good business. t one o'clock they Ba.timoar, August 31, 1848. Opening of the Fall Trade—The Free Soit Prospect: Baltimore and Charleston Steomers—Theatricals. ‘The fall trade is commenoing in Baltimore, with prospects of a mort glorious season of prosperity to out wholeeale merchants. Although money is scarce in the cities, there appears to be an abundance of it im the country.and there is an indication abroad of a more than vsually satisfactory reckoning up of old accounts. The free soil men are in extacies at the prospect of John Van Buren paying thems visit shortly. By the way, although the character of the would-be leaders of this new party in Baltimore has brought it into ridi- cule bere, there seems to be no doubt but that the principle bas a strong hold on the people. A letter was. yesterday, received from ex-Governor Thomas, of Maryland, in which he states bis fixed determinn- tion to vote the free soil ticket this fall, despite of all former political associations. In New York, North generally, the young democracy are the suppert- ers of free soil; but here. in Maryland. the old hankers stand up to the The efforts cers; and | learn that the company are now contract- ing with our builders for their first vessel, to take her place on the line on tke first of June next. ‘There are now three theatres in operation here, and they are all languishing. Next week two more will be opened, when there will doubtless be something worse than languishing among them, Puiwaverrma, Aug 30, 1348. ‘The nomination of Mr. Longstreth by the de_ mocratic convention at Harrisburg, this morning, puts an end to the uncertainty that prevailed in regard to the néminee of that party; and the whig convention which assembled there to-day, nomi- nated by acclamation Mr. Johnston, the present incumbent, as their candidate. The opposition to the nomination of Mr. Longstreth was mostly on the ground that he would be expected to resign hie seat in the canal board, which would give Governor Johnston an opportunity to fill the vacancy with one of his own politics, thus giving the whigs the ascendancy, and rendering the office holders along the public improve- ments somewhat doubtful as to the tenure of the loaves and fishes ‘This was the feeling that prevented tke nomination from being completed last evening; but from the early hour at which the question was de- cided this morning. bis determination not to resign what he has. until fully seated in the gubernatorial chair, has probably been rignitied to the delegates who had cther preferences ou that account.

Pandemo—no, I don’t mean that ; but almost anything that you can ima- gine, that 1s so entirely mixed up and entangled that to unravel it is hopeless. We are on the very eve of the great occurrence—the grand fancy dress ball. The servamts are running in every direction ; tables, chairs, sofas, lounges, and all sorts of hotel iurniture, are being removed from room to room. Porters are busy, waiters are ac. tive, and directors of ceremonies are calling out to their operators, in all directions. The ball will, undoubtedly, be a splendid affair. The room was very prettily decorated, last evening, with blue drapery and tasteful column trimmings; but, as Mr. L—on, one of the room managers, ebjected to the colors which the ornamenters were using, and as ther work was thus spoiled, it was at length determined to take down all the drapery, and leave the room with only the slight decora- tion of a light border next to the ceiling. We have some two hundred costumes on the list; but, as the costumers tell us that they are censtanuy Every body knows that General Taylor is not the first choice of the whigs. Every one is aware that he was taken solr ly on the ground of expediency ; and the knowledge is just as general, that the old hero has refused to be the tool of any party, and will, in consequence, receive the support chvdty man who despises party trickery. e want no platform President—a man who is pledged to cer- tain positions, which in the end he never fulfils— as, vide Polk. General Taylor has declared that he will, if elected, be the President of the Ameri- can people, and not of a party; and we consequent- ly see all the cormorants for office ready at a mo- ment’s notice to bolt. Their patriotism consists of pap, and their principles can be measured by the amount ot salary the pap brings. 1] We know ot some dozen or se of clerks in pub he_ offices here, whose sole recommendation to office consists in the fact that they are strong party men. When at home, was there a little bit of political enthusiasm to be got up these gentle- men were ready for the <iarecncy they would harangue the sovereigns assembled, till they were bleck in the face, about the wrongs which they endured, and the raseality of their opponents, ‘Well, Mr. Polk was elected Presideut of the Uni- ted States, and the orators aforesaid received their pay in the shape of $1,200 and $1,400 sala- ries—had they been left at home they could not have earned their salt. You occasionally see a notice inthe Union, calling a ‘general rally” of democrats at the plattorm on the avenue, and your columns bear evidence of the enthusiasm which bursts forth at these meetings. It is laughable, however, to notice the actors in these outbreaks, these gentlemen who make mght hideous with their outcries. “Heaven bless us!” exclaims the innocent spectator, “but these are real patriots! See how the perspiration pours down their faces! Wuy its enough to fill their boots!” The innocent individual is not aware that these patriots are fighting for their bread and butter, and that when they frantically scream ‘ Hurrah for Cass and Butler,” they mean “‘ God grant us a continuance of our offices.” A grand rally is to come of} to-morrow evening, and the public will be told of the great importance which the people of the Union attach to any expression of opinion in the District of Columbia. Staff! Every one knows that these expressions of opinion are a por- tion of the services which many of the offiee- holders here are expected to give—failing to give value for the money they receive im any other way. ‘Tie Union has officially announced General Shields’ reason for not accepting the appointment of Governor of Oregon ; namely, that he feared his wounds would not allow him to cross the Rocky Mounteins. We understand that the gal- lant officer has been advised to try the air of this Tietnet occasionally, as being more salubrious ‘han that of the Pecific ; although, in order to do eo, he will be obiiged to kick up a breese. This 3 OU may set down as official, albeit it has not yet sppeaed in thet “ very flourishing” journal, the organ.

Rerorters. Ocean House, Aug 30, 1848. The greatest excitement reigns in the hotel, in- stead ef the quiet conversations and promenade which tormerl) took place during the day time. Before and after dinner, we see, at present, every body running, in a thoughttul aspect, excited by the most grave pre-occupation, and using the short- est languaye to answer the innumerable questions adaressed from friends on all sides. The ladies are closely shut up in their rooms, finishing their toilets, waiting their coifeurs, and preparing their most bewitching smiles to receive the beaux, who will undoubtedly crowd the ball room this evening. Dejonge, Taylor and Groux, the fash- ionable costumers, are more busy than ever; Dibblée Martel, Barker, Paul, and Gilbert, the hair dressers d la mode, are, since daylight, coif- fant, pouwdrant, frisunt,c. In short, every thng indicates that we shall enjoy a splendid sight when 9 o’clock shall have arrived. We have enjoyed for the last week the most splendid weather, and spent our time in the most agreeable manner. Bathing, shooting, fishing, sporting, riding, flirting, courting, dancing, and euting—such have been our passe temps, and ever; enjoyment has been truly great. The sea beac! is mcomparable, the game 1s plentiful, the fishes eury to be canght, the pistols of Hudson of a grand portée; the horses of Horace Jones, of Mercer stieet,in NewYork, are the most admirable animals in creation, for they have been here duly admired and they are worthy to be visited in New York, where they will be returned on the 10th of Sep- tember next. The ladies, sep hy ladies, are as pretty as buds of roses, they flirt like butterflies and are as sentimental as brides The Kammerer and Steyermarkische bands, equal the famed Mu- sard, end the cooking of Mr. Weaver's cuisinver is equal to that of Véfour. By the way, we enjoyed a very great treat yes- terday morning, in witnes-ing some feats verfurm- edby a gentleman of Philadelphia, M. Gustavus Vasa 8., generaliy known as the ‘‘dead shot.” This distinguished sportsman, lately so well up- reciated at Cape May, as has been seen in a letter published in your paper, having been re- quested to give an exhibition of his talents, gave a rendezvous to the ladies of the Ocean House, and firing successively with the right or left hand, his eyes open, or blind-tolded, made the bell ring twelve times, as well in a direet position, as by ricochet. 1t was then decided that M. Gus- tavus Vasa 8. hed no equal in his line, and he was presented by the ladies of the Ocean House with a splendid bouquet, weighing about fifty pounds. Itis not necessary to add that M. 8. expressed his thanks in a very able manner, and delivered a speech as good, if not better, than Damel Webster himself would have done. For my part, I cou- sider M, 8 asa mouncan Rolum des Bows, and teel assured that he has made a pacte with le dia- be. Some ill-natured persons, indeed, tmtimated that the pistols had no bails m them, and thata boy was instrocted to ring the bell whenever the “dead shot” fired, but we cannot believe this. Certainly not, why should we? Is not the tame of the celebrated marksman wide spread? The fancy ball is about to commence, and we must be cf. Tickets to the ameunt of $1,300 were sold up to 64 o'clock P.M. Reporter. Berxeney Syrines, Va., Aug 28, 1848, Among the last to quit Bedford ‘Springs, and cast- ing many a longing, lingering look behind at that beautiful and favored spot, I journeyed hither,in the foot-eteps of Mr, Polk. It 1s just on the road from Cumberland, being but two miles and a half from the railroad. Proceeding from Cumberland, in the morning ears, after following the windings of the Potomac for about fifty miles, you come to a beau- titul opening in the mountains, called St. John’s Run, where there are stages in waiting, to convey youto Bath for, by this name, as well as tha: of Berkeley Springs, is the place known. It is no- thing more or less than an exceedingly dirty little village, of two hundred inhabitanw, with two lumbering houses, called hotels, butu-houses, a billiard saloon, two ten-pin alleys, and a church. The water of the spring, from which the place tukes its name, 13 very mild and pleasant for bath. being just of the proper temperature ; bat er plessant or beneficial, so far as [ caa learn, for drinking. It is said to contain some locine, and has, it is not doubted, a very beneti- cial effect, when taken asa bath. But the utmost negligence prevails, and nobody seems to care whether the guests are attended to or not. The bath-houses are miserably Kept, and, notwith- standing the abundance of water, the streets are in the moet filthy condition. The place is situ- ated in a hollow, among some very b! and barren bills, and bas not a single tolerably decent house within its whole limits. The only redeem- ing feature in the management of the hotels, is the excellence of their ture. And yet, to this dirty little spot, (and a dirtier could not be picked out on the map of this coun- try,) crowds come every year, in the heat of summer, and persuade themselves that they enjoy a great deal of pleasure and advantage. The: come together, talk scandal, and dance to vile vil- 1 (While I write, my ear 1s tortured h the viilanous sounds of a trio, consistin; of an asthmatic flogeolet, a screaking fiddle, ani @ bass viel, with tones like the cooag | of a board, that spoil the digestion of the guests, by executing a set ot lugubrious airs at every meal ) There is nothing more suggestive of melancholy reflections than the breaking up of a large plea- sure party. I experienced this at Bedford more es- pecii ly. ‘The idea of giving up the utter freedom from the harrassments of business, and the rigid, conventional torms of life which oue enjoys at such places, to return to the stem, and olt~n. bitter re- alities of every day life, chills the teelings and clonds the brow, acting in the same way as a plunge into a cold stream, after enjoying the luxury ofa warm bath. | : Mr. Polk left this morning for Washington, ac- companied by Dr. Foltz, is reception here was anything but complimentary, and was even want- ing incivility. To use his own words, he “fell into a nest of malignants,” who spared no pains to shew in what low estimation they held him. This was going to the otner extreme, and was in ve bad taste. His conduct, both here and in Bedfore was marked with a great deal of good sense, and deserved a better return, How much soever he muy have erred in his official capacity, 1t was not a fitting occasion to shew their sense of it, He came as a private citizen, and they shoyld not have noticed him at all, or else, should have treated him more civily. None will accuse me of being prejudiced in Mr. Polk’s favor, and yet I take pleasuie in bearing testimony to his very modest and quiet demexnor on thistnp. Several trivial circumstances shewed the strength ot the hostility entertained against him; and although his past acts are amply sufficient to justify such hostility, yet neither the time, the plane, nor the circumstances, were proper for its exhibition.

Log Howse, on the Left Fork of the Ausable, Essex County, Aug. 23, 1848, Here Iam onthe ground, with as fine acom- pany of backwoodsmen as can be got together Let no mortal creature from the dusty town in- ttude upon me. The very thought of Broadway or Wall street (arcades ambo) would sicken me, were it not for the pure air of heaven, which comes to me fresh from the empyrean, and the clear, cold spring water which gurgles up out of a rock just at the entrance of my log-cabin. For all that, I have not told you exactly my whereabouts, nor shall I. The amateur huntsmen and fisher- men of Gotham shall come to no grounds of my getting up. Let them go to Moody’s, away across yonder; he will lead them out very gently, find thema deer to shoot at, and allow them to rest across his shoulder and fire away. Then he will take them out on the pond, (we call lakes, ponds up here) bait their hook, and show them where a trout will bite at it. ‘That is amateur sport. soul to treat of it further, “ Odi profanum vulgus et arceo.’’ But if you, cee will make the sign of accept- ance, ] will despatch, forthwith, a trusty mes- senger to Port Kent, to receive you and guide you hither. Now, methinks, Tsee you turn up your nose at this proposition, and say, with something very like a sneer, that the season for trout fishing has been over these two months, and that it is not time, for a month yet, to crack away at the deer. That’s what I call amateur again—decidedly amateur. I wonder how long it ts since trout have been held unfit for the frying-pan, after the middle of June, or when did venison cease to be savory, inthe month of August? But, a truce to such idle dissertations. My “ ounce of practice” 1s worth all the theory of bookeraft, from Izaak Walton’s first edition, down to his last and best, edited by my friend, the Rev. Mr. Bedell, as gen- tle and asclerical a lover of fishing and wood- craft as these latter days have seen. Now tomy narrative. After leaving the steam packet Sura- nac, and having shaken hands twice over with its commander, Capt. Chapmao—as capital a fellow, every way, as ever stood on a quarter deck—we struck for the mountains. Keeping the stage route as far us it went, we were at length * brought up,’? as the saying 1s, by getting at the end of it. We then hired a ceaveresiog for fifteen miles further on, and were set down on the ‘‘confines” ot our territory. Seeking the hospitality of a vete- ran 8,ortsman, who had been duly advised, ac- cording to custom, of our coming, we were told that everything was in readiness to “ put out.”” ‘The next morning we were up betimes. A “tram team,” with a good “ chain” and ‘ back board,” was soon ready. Several bags of oats, some score of blankets, a supply of hard crackers and salt pork, were got on, and then we set off, accom- panied by four or five hardy fellows, with rifles on their shoulders, and canteen and powder flask slung, ready for Soyihing from a Rio Grande buffalo hunt, to a chase after an Essex county black cat. We pushed through the wilderness some dozen miles, and came, at last, to our ground. The log house we found in fair order, Tequiring few repairs—cooking utensils just where we leftthem Jast year, and no sign of in- terlopers—no trail of amateurs about.

[From the London Examiner.] Some months ago we laid betore our readers some remarkable evidence ot the neglect of educa- tion in Wales, und of the frightful d pths of igno- Tance consequently prevailing, The gaol returns, just published by order of the House ot Commons, prerent not less astounding proofs of the deficiency of education in England. We shall take the ex- amples as they are urranged in the alphabetical order, not selecting the most striking instances. The chaplain of Bedford gaol states, that the great mujority of the prisoners are ignorant, stupid, and unconcerned—unacquainted with the commonest scriptural phrases. The chaplain of the Berks gaol reports, that of 631 prisoners, 236 were igao- rapt of the alphabet, and 204 unacquainted with the first principles of the Christian faith, and 1gno- rant even of the Saviour’s name. He opserves, children, or men, sill childish, had learned to read and write, but had not learned to think about or ua- stand an bid which they had been taught; the ears had heard, the tongue had learned utterance, but the mind had received no idea, no impression. Lamentuble it 18, he proceeds to say, that even the criminal population of « Christian land should show a proportion of one-third strangers to the very first truths ot seh Ee The Abingdon chaplain Te ports, that out of 196 prisoners, 18 wereun utter ignorance, and unable to repeat the Lord’s prayer; 52 could not read, and 83 knew neither the Cre nor the Commandments. Tne report of the Bre- con chaplain 18, that though the majority of pri- soners can rexd imperfectly, yet their education has been 60 defective that they have no nouon ot the bearing and connection of one part of a sentence with another, or of the meaning of words ot frequent occurrence in Scripture. Nine out of ten that have come under this rey, gentleman’s ob- servation were, he states, totally ignorant of the merest radsments of Christianity: six out of ten did not know whose son Jesus Christ is, nor wherefore he came into the world ; five out of ten did not know the Queen’s name. The Bucks re- port sets forth that about half the prisoners can read and write; one-lourh can read easy pas sages of Scripture ; another fourth are either ig- norent of the elphabet, or unable to_ read the sim- plest words ; and that ignorance is almost uni- formly scecompanied with the greatest depravit The Cambridge chaplain reports that 6ut ‘of 239 prisoners, 140 were able to read, 80 could not fread, 61 could not repeat the Lord's prayer, 89 were Wee norant of the Commendments and the Creed. Tn Cornwall, it appears that out of 688 prisoners, 304 could neither read nor write; 139 could not repeat the Lord’s prayer, and were ignorant of the Sa- vieur’s name. In Dorset, out of 674 prisoners, 409 did not upderstend the meanmg of the Lord’s prayer, eno 119 were entirely iguorant, one or two of the very name, and all of the work and mission ofthe Redeemer. And this 1s the general tenor of the reports; indeed, we have not met with a sin- gle exception where the statistics of education and crime are embraced, but some of the returns are defective in this important branch of ioquiry, And with these disgraceful fucts in evidence, trom all quarters, will the opponents of the ministerial system for extending public instruction yet main- tein that the education of the country is neither detective in quantity nor in quality 7 A.—It is stated that $100,000 for ¢ in Libe A Conran in A zen of Misaiesippi la blichorent of a coll used up my sheet, and the pine knot is almost | POLITICAL INTELLIGENCE. The Preparations for the Presidential Contest. New Yor« Crry.—In giving the names of the aspirants for Congress, in one of the districts of this city, we mentioned that of Gen. Walbridge. There must be some mistake in this, forGen. W, is not a resident of the district in question. Conngcricur Wuie Strats Convention.—We have received a report of the proceedings of the above convention, held at Middletown on the 30th ult., but have only room to give the names of those selected for Presidential electors, viz. : Hon. Thos. S. Wilhams, of Hartford, and Hon. Thomas W. Willems, of New London, at large; Solomon Olmsted, Ist district; Ebenezer Jackson, 2d do. ; Jobn MeLelland, 3d do.; John B. Ferns, 4th do. The greutest feeling of harmony and unanimity characterized the proceedings of the convention, and resolutions were adopted expressive of the most entire confidence in, and approving of, the course of Gen. Taylor. New Hamesuire.—Some of the free soil papers we see claim New Hampshire as likely te vote for Van Buren. It is only necessary to show the cer- tainty of that State voting for Case, that a majority of the popular vote is required in, the choice of electors, and if no majority is obtained for either ticket, the legislature chooses the electors. The present legislature o* the Sta‘e is democratic, with amajority forC .s fabout40. The probabilinys however, is:h»* cne Cass ticket will receive a majority over vuth the whig and free soil tickets, by the vote of the prope: In 1840 the vote of the State was, for Polk, 27,160; Clay, 17,866 ; abo- lition, 4,161. In 1847, for Governor, Williams, (dem.) Colby, (whig) - Berry, (ubolition) ... Demooratic majority... ......+.... 1166 The democratic majority in March, 1818, we believe, was about 2,500. Mainr.—The vote of Maine is also equally cer- ain for Cass, notwithstsnding the claims of some of the Van Buren papers. The democratic major- ity for Governor, last year, was 1,650 over whigs, abolitionists, and all others; and in 1844 the vote jor President was as follows:— Democratio majority. . The aboliuon and independent creased last year to 8,581. Pennsyivania.—The Miltonian of August 25th states that the Hon. George Kremer wasto address a Taylor meeting at Mifflinburg, Union county, Pa., on Saturday. It was expected that there would be a large turn out. George is doing good service for the whigs in the present campaign. It will be recoliected that he was one of the most prominent of the supporters of Jackson and Van Buren, in PeaRey MANIA, in the various campaigns, from 1824 to 1840. We understund that the Hon. Samuel D. Ingham, of Bucks county, who was Secretary of the Trea- sury in Gen. Jackson’s first cabinet, is also in favor ot Gen. Taylor. The Harrisburg Keystone, of the 29th August, ublihes an address to the democratic citizens of Pennsylvania, signed by a portion of those persons who, last year, were appointed a Democratic Cor- responding Committee, favorable to Gen. Taylor. They now announce that the organization (demo- cratic) which resulted in the nomination of Gen. Taylor, at Harrisburg, is dissolved, and recom- mend their freinds to support the democratic can- didates, Cass and Butler. , A ‘The principal objections of this committee to Gen. Taylor are thus stated : « We bave conclusive evidence, from his own autho- tired statement, of his‘ devotion to the principles of the whig party’—of his desire to dhange the present democratic men god measures—and to substitute Hen- ry Clay, the‘ embodiment’ of whig Principles —of his submission to the discipline and nominating machine- ry of the whig party, aod of his surrender into the Hands of a whig convention of all the independent nomipations which he had previous'y received In taking this course, he has abando.. sche principles upon which he was nominated at ky Darg, and sur- rendered the nomination itself.” Inprana.—The democratic ed) in the Le- pete) as already stated, will be 18, on joint allot. The Siuth Bend Register, of 24th August, has the following remarks, respecting the popular vote, which in 1844 was 2,106 majority, for Polk :— “ We can get no certaiz indications as to the popu- lar vote, though we think it is very close In some counties the locos have gained from last year and in many others the whigs have gained. We notice a large increare in the whig vote in Jennings, Jefferson, Fountain. Davies and Martin, Decatur. Knox, Fayette, Harrison. Monroe, Sullivan, Union, Vermillion, Kc. But for the floats taken generally from whig counties and given to such loco counties as Bartholomew, Clin- ton, Dearborn Elkhart, Sullivan. Posey, Monroe and Brown, &c., the legisiature would have been very closely divided.” Ex-Governor Tuomas anp Free Sor.— We learn that a letter has been received by the corre- sponding committee of the Free Soil Convention, from Ex-Governor Francis Thomas, 1n answer to their invitation to be Brorene at their recent con- vention, in which he declares his full adherence to the cause, and his determination to vote the free soil ucket at the approaching Presidential election.— Balt.

Laws. Muurary Porvtanity in In11xors.—Uader this head, the editor of the St. Louis New Era makes the following remarks:—* The result of the late elections in our neighboring State has conclusively shown the mania for pnblic men around whom are thrown a tithe of military glory. Of the second Illinois regiment. all three of its officers were can- didates, and have been elected—Col. Bissel to Congress, without opposition; Lieut. Col. Morrison to the State Senate, overcoming a majority of up- wards of a thousand; and Major Trail to the Le- islature. Of the third Illinois regiment, Major S. ). Marshall was a candidate against Mr. McCler- nand, and, though defeated, has reduced the usual majority nearly two-thirds. Of the fourth Illinois regiment, Col. E. D. Baker emigrated last spring to the Galena district, and took the field against the late Lieut. Govemor of the State, beating him by upwards of a thousand majority; and Major Hire who was a candidate against Judge Logan in the Springfield district, has been elected to Con- gress against a political majority greater than that inst which Col. Baker had to contend. Major ichardson, of the first Illmois regiment, is the only field officer from that gallant and unsurpassed regiment, commanded by the lamented Hardin, that was a candidate before the people, and was re-elected to Congress without opposition Of the four regiments, consequently, that were twelve months’ volunteers, four of the scven representa- tives to Congress have been selected trom among their field officers. To these it may not be im- roper to add the late appointment of Gen. Shields, bilae the same State, as Governor of Oregon, who, if he declines, 1t will only be for the reason that he regards his chances eafe to be elected to the Unt- ted States Senate. Lars rrom Curmuanva.—A letter from Chihua- hua was received in this city yesterday, by the southern route, as late as the 7th of last month. From this letter, we learn that the American troops were still in possession of that city. Col. Easton’s battalion was to leave on the 12th of the month, for Santa Fe, and thence home; Colonel Rall’s regi- ment on the 15th; and General Price, with Major Beall’s command of Dragoon’s, on the 30th. Squire Collins, who left Washington as an express for the government, travelling by way of Saltillo, had arrived safely at Chihuahua, but without orders to evacute the city, which General Price expected by him. Itis stated that David Mergan, who was despatched by General Wool to Chihuahua, with instructions to General Price to retire from that city, had not reached his destination. He left Sal- tillo betore Collins arrived there ; ard the latter heard of his being at Mapimi, fifteen days before his arrival, but nothing was known of him subse- quent to thattime. He is supposed to have been murdered. Immense quantities of goods were pouring into Chihuahua, and it was feared that sacrifices would have to be made of them. The Mexicans, it 13 said, threaten to collect full duties upon all goods now introduced. They contend, that Chihuahua was not legally occupied by the United States, and that the treaty declares, that grade transported to a point not occupied by the American troops are subject to the duties 1mposed by the Mexican laws, At all events, they intend to collect the duties, and i they are wrong the matter can be settled by the tavo governments.—St. Louis Republican, Aug. 24, Police Inte! ence. Important Arrest ah a Burglar —Officer Costigan, one of the vigilant officers of the 10th ward police, to- gether with Officer Duflong of the 7th ward, succee: ed yesterday in arresting a man by the name of Theo- dore Williams, and his wife also, whom the officers found in a house near the Bowery, in Hester street, where they found two large trunks, one containing a large quantity of jewelry, consisting of 40 gold and silver watches, 73; dozen of silver table spoona, some 700 or 800 gold’ finger rings. set with various stones, and a large lot of different kinds of jewelry. The other trunk contained a very large lot of ladies’ gaiter boots and shoes, all of which are the proceeds of five burglaries. A large proportion of the jewelry and spoons have been identified by Mr. Blankslein, No. 28, Division treet, whose store was robbed on Monday night last, and nearly $2.000 worth of property stolen therefrom. Some of the jewelry belongs to one or two jewelers in Brooklyn, whose stores have been robbed within the last tew months. The boots and shoes have not been identitied as yet, but will, possibly, during to-day. The whole of the property recovered will amount to over $1,000 already ; but the officers are still in pursuit of two more thieves, whereby they expect to recover three more trunks, which in all pro- bability will contain the balance of the stolen propsr- ty. The officers deserve much credit for the per- severing manner they have exhibited, in searching out this cunning rogue. and in the recovery of the property for which they receive some $400 or $500 re- ward for their services. Justice Osborae committed Williams and his wife to prison, to await a farther hearing Charge of Robbery.—Officer Whalan afd ex-oficer McManus, arrested yesterday two men by the names of Peter Riley and Cornelius Dolan, on a charge cf robbing and decoying a man by the name of Elisha street, where one of the accused held him by force while the other stole his pocket book containing $14. Information was given to the above officers who soon had the rascals in custody. Justice Lothrop commit- ted them both for trial. Naval Intetligence, The U. S. bomb brig Hecla, Lieut.
