Indeed, the fabrication strikes me as too ergeapaly ridiculous to be worthy of grave refutation. Having at band the reference, I find that, at the time of the battle of Buena Vista we had in depot at Monterey 783 887 cartridges for email arms, fabricated at the U- S. areenais; and 151,000 musket cartridges captured from the enemy, by the capitulation of Monterey, having previously sent to the rear, (Cama 0) a8 AUPer- fiuous £16,000 Mexican cartridges for small arms. ) At Saltillo, within a few miles of the field of Buena Vieta, we bad all of the ammunition of the army of Mejor General Wool which he had brought with him from the U. S. via Montelovia and Parras; together with the greater part of that carried forward by, and subsequently furnished to Major General Worth, who inade the advance on and took possession of that city. The quantity of ammunition available at Saltil must bave exceeded that in depot at Monterey. By order of General Wool, | made, as Chief of Ordnanc: an inspection of the Ordnance stores at Saltillo, in 2 last, and found the supply 80 great as to occasion rome embarrassment as to its removal to the United States. As no accession of ammunition was made subsequent to the battle of Buena Vista, it will be seen that General Taylor did not at the time of the battle stand in need of Bibles “for catridges and wadding. ‘As to the Bibles, | remember that, at Monterey, Dr. Steinecke, our Medioal Director. took a commendable interest in distributing to the inbabitawts a Spanish edition, which he had brought with him from the United States. I have no knowledge of Bibles having been furnished the army. further than tbat they were always to be found in oar hospitals. I return you herewith the lettor of Dr, Chaloner. dear sir, very truly yours, e GEO. D. RAMSAY Brevet Major U.S. A. Maj. G. Crossman, U, S.

Once im, the best of anchorage can be Cbtained. Ceptain Simpson, who knows every fnlet from Sabine to Tabasco, stated a few ‘days ago that ke would rather bring a res ever this bar than any ether on the coast; and he was of the opinion that there was very near a3 much water when he crossed #3, as could be fouad on the Galveston bat. When the dredging machine shall have done its work, and deepened the chennel for a short distance et the entrance of Corpus Christi bay, the vessels from New Orleens and the North will have no more @ificulty in reaching Corpus Christi than they now buve in crossing the bar.

He says that the idea entertained that the country is flooded with geods is very erroneous, It ie true that in Mon- terey and Saltillo there are larze amounts, but they are not suited to the trade, having beeu principally brought in whilst our army cectpied the couutry, and selected by persons who knewnot the leading at- ticles én Mexican trade. The Mezican traders prefer crossing the river fer goods, even if there be an Ameri- can on their side with a stock, fer the general belief that goods are cheeper on this side bas taken such a hold on'them that it cannot be eradicated. Besides, they do not have to pay so biga a duty when they purcbase on Americal soil. Fifteen miles above Rio Granée city, at the Garcia Rancho, on this side the river, 2 town has been laid cout, and there are already some thirty Americans there, with twostores or trading houses; the place is ad immediately oppo- ay heard from another source that-c number of Mexitan her up. jays is ‘building, and we called Roma, Still hig! site Mier, Mr. Joba families will move over.

Education for all, is now demanded.—iayvisiti men long since found out. that there is no suok thing ‘as that which literary fops have called the * eulgar mind.”—The artificial distinctions of the past are jelding to the claims of common sense and common Juste ‘and it is foreshadowed that, in our cowutry, if not elsewhere, man is to take rank by the measure of his intellectual ability, and the degree of bis moral worth. : . . . Is it not due to the cause of popular education, that we consider whether instruction in palit-eal science thould not be engrafted on the body of our schooling? Under the constitution of this State, he who attains to the prescribed age is thenceforth, theoretically, politician; and whether qualified or not to act dis- creetly in the pew character, he is now one of the con- stituents of the government and of its laws. They that would ascertain the principle source of the poli- tical knowledge by which the electors are guided, will find it in the public journals. Comparatively few stud: the ecience of politics to its widest range—few, indeed, have leisure te pursue it to ite full extent. Yet on it every free government leans, and from it draws its ne- cessary aliment. All m y understand so much of the science as to have acquaintance with the forms, and correct understanding of the nature, of different go- vernments—to be conusant of the principles and the spirit of law as a rule of human conduct—to know the distinctions in rights—and to have clear comprehen- sion of their obligations as citizens. A much more ex- tended indoctrination of the young men of our coun- try in political truth than they have yet had, is,in my , indicated as a precaution by numerous “ signs of the times; and 1am not now eof any mode in which the proposed object could so easily be acoom- plished as by making a text-book of the science for common schools, He who should apply the energies of 8 disciplined mind to the preparation of such a work, and render it acceptable for its completeness and ac- curacy, will have conferred upon his countrymen an invaluable favor. Recent events, of which none of us are ignorant, have placed in unusual prominence before the public eye, a subject which it is impossibla to touch without stirring the sensibilities of the whole Union. One of the effects of the war with Mexico, is the acquisition of large portions of her domain, which are now wait. ing to be planed by the United States under territorial government. Of the character of that war, or the justness of that acquisition, I do not propose here to speak, belng forbidden so to do by the respect due unto the opinions of others, and by the rules of official decorum. But, the territory is the common property of all the States, and upon the point of the disposal, or of the management of {t, Vermont is en- titled to be heard, and to act. It is, therefore, a matter of domestic interest, and, as sucb, claims our attention and vigilance. ‘The country yielded by our sister republic being contiguous to the slaze-hoiding States, and much of it being supposed to be naturally evited to the labor of the black man, it is insisted that slave owners should be allowed to carry their slaves into it, and ¢here hold them as property; that Congress, in providing a government for it, should expressly legalize slavery therein. I do not understand that the statesmen of the slave States, except the few that ascribe to slavery a divine origin, claim any natural or unqualified right in one man toentlave another—nor, allowing the same ex- ceptions, do they hold that slavery existy aan insti- | tution of the United States, but admit it to be a State institution. It was not established by the federal go- vernment, but tolerated only; and this was a reluctant concession to a supposed necessity. Whether Con- eet can, tightfully, by act of legtelature, put slave- olding under guaranty in any place where it did not exist when the constitution was formed, and its com- | promires, eo called, were arranged, the people of thie State, ac adapts do not consider to be debatable— they devying to that body suchright. But they hoié that Congress, in making “ all needful rules and regt- lations reepeeting the territory” belonging to the U ni- | ted States, may, and ought to, put an interdict upon slavery—that, although they may not legislate for the introduction of it, they may for its exclusion. If | viewed as a compound ease of right asserted, and of er exercised, and in somo degree submitted to, it ‘bas come to be considered as settled by practies! con- | struction, that national legislation can be properly exeroired in either way; still, this State, in confining herseif to protesta, has not surrendered the principle. ‘The attempt to procure the allowance of slave hold- ing in Oregon, and its failure, are fresh in the recollec- tion of all. Upon that defeat of a design to extend slavery, and upon the evidence it affords of @ resolu- tion of the free States torestrict the institution to its present limits, [ heartily congratulate yot —not in ex- ultation as for a sectional ascendancy geined, but in joy that humanity has achieved a victory—the joy not @ little enhanced by the belief, that ere long our | Southern brethren will ennoble themse! and make the world SS. by a voluntary removat of the bi Bg evil from their fair fields. and then start oway with un- shackled limbs to 1un the race of national prosperity. In relation to the point of slavery, the position of this State cannot be misunderstood. That institution | tion, and it may not be violently extracted. Yet, as it injuriously effects our representative rights, no far- ther similsr encroachment thereon willybe consented to.
