Doctor Sydney Welter, the whig candidate for Con gress iu the Raleigh District, mentions a his qualifications for Congress, that be has taken College degrees," and has " great historical and political knowledge"! The people of that district can now hardly fail of appreciating such extensive acquire ments, especially when the Doctor iulVirns bis readers of another slat (ling fact thai few of Ihem were before aware of, to wit: that "our glorious Union is seemingly on the verge of ruin by a reckless and anti-republican thirst of war and conquest."

We thought his modesty w.nld be the ruin of him. CO- Although ihe whig papyri know well enough hat the democratic party do not ap prove of the attacks of the Hon. Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi, on Gen. Taylor, in the House of Representatives, they still endeavor to make those who know im better, believe that it was systematically done through the influence of Ihe President aud the admin istration party ; whereas uothing is further from the truth ; for it is well known that ihe President did not approve o! it, nor the party generally. Those attacks were well under stood at Washington, to hare their origin in a personal dislike ol Mr '1 hompson to Col. Jefferson Davis, Gen. Taylor sou-in-law. A democratic meeting in Columbus, Miss., very justly rebuked Mr Thompson ill the fol low lug manner : Resolved, That our Sanators and Repre sentatives iu Congress have faithfully doue their duty, and we hereby tender them our cordial approbation and congratulation. Pro vided, thai nothing herein contained shall be construed as an approval of ihe course pur sued by the Hon. Jacob Thompson ou the resolution of thanks by Congress to Geueial Zachary Taylor.

WHIG CAUSE IN DANG E It. By the lal Gieeii!boroigh Patriot we per ceive that adthough there were at fist three whig candidates in the Guilford district, Messrs Walker, Hogaii and Sbepperd, to one democrat, Mr Ciemmons, they have all barked out, and left only Mr Sbepperd and Mr Clemmons in the field. 'I here is a whig majority of near 2000 votes in the dis:r:cl. - Mr Walker withdrew some weeks ago, and uow, Mr H-gaii has become alarmed at Ihe unpopulaiity ol his'paitv, atui harked out also! Iu a leMer lo his '-iellow-eii izjns of the 4h Congressional dist-i l,'' published iu the Pa triot, he says: The morel have miug'ed wiih you, ihe stronger has my conviction become of the danger of the whin cause." Really, a brighter day, we hope, is dawn ing upon our country. The people, we hope, have show u Mr Hogau that they cannot couutetiauee the unworthy and unpad iotie attacks of the self-staled whig party, opou the American government, iu time of war, thus giving "aid and com I oil " to the enemy.

The New York correspondent of the Char leston Eveniii" News, remarks of the beauties of thai it y, as follows-: ' In all my observation of female beauty, I have never seen any ihiug lo surpas the belles of the opening season. An ill-natured person might say, that practice bad improved the manufacture and use of cosmetics. Perish the shot king idea. I know that the Pearl Powder has been brought to a wonderful per fection I know that ihe Carmine is uow prepared so as to Counterfeit the loveliest tioge of nature I know that the lips may be red dened lo a delicious-1 ipeness by ait -I know thatlu all these matters practice makes perfect but for all ibis. I w ill not entertain ihe idea thai nature i not entitled to my adorations. Still, iu candor, I must confess that Art has quite too much unconscious worship. A practised eye can see tne dinereuce, tweuty yards off especially if accustomed lo both. When walkings along the 6treet,-or al the Opera, I meutally exclaim, regarding one lady, "bow beautiful I" and of another, how beautifully painted !'' Each has mv admira tion, each my gratitude, which the latter has fairly earned." - 3" Among the items of news brought by the late steamer, it is elated thai 800 Swiss young men, many of them with families, have offered their services to the American Gov ernment, through the American consul ot Basle, lo enlist for the Mexican war, whether it lasts 5 or 15 years. They would then aet- sash, and epaulettes, to Lt. Cha. R. Jones, of which notice was given last week, took place at the time named. A number of ladies and gentlemen were present. Dr. Tbos. N. Cameroo, who had been deputed to present them, addressed Lt. Joues neatly as follows: :Lieut. Jones: I have been deputed by a portion of your fellow-citizens, lopieseot to )ou, in their name, this sword, sasb, and epaulettes. They are tendered to you as a mark of their approbation for the zeal and ac tivity which you have eviuced, in recruiting iu is company, since you received your corr j ue tear for toy memory, and one prayer for toy fuluie welfare, ARMY ITEMS. CoL Lane, of the 3d Regiment Indiana Volunteers, in a letter to the New Orleans Delia, says that or lhe three Indiana regiments iu Mexico, only two were at the battle of Buena Yiata ; aud these two were placed one on the extreme tight, ihe other on the ex treme left of the line of battle. He says that mission. It gives me pleasure, sir, to ?be 2d regiment deserves credit for maintain- tbeir organ on this occasion, aud to unite with them iu the expression of the hope, that should an opportunity offer, you will emulate the deeds of noble daiing which have character ized your compatriots iu arms, iu every ac tion which has taken place siuce lhe war with Mexico commenced. Bright examples have been eet before you. W itness the hard-fought battles on lhe phi us of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, where fell, amongst others, the brave, the generous Ringgold or, Foit Brown, where lhe heroic endurance of a pio Iracted seige, gave such strong evidence of that patient subordination which so eminent ly distinguishes the soldier. Shall I point you to the seige of Monterey, where the gal lam Taylor, aided by a Wonh, and others not less distinguished, added new laurels to the wreath which already encircled their brows ; and where a Holmes, a Gatlin. and i host of o hers, whose names it were impossible for me to enumerate from memory, acquired for themselves an imperishable name 1 Shall 1 recall to your recollection, ihe still more re cent achievement, obtained by the same in vincible General, the buttle of Buena Vista, when opposed by the modern Napoleon, with a force far outnumbering Ihe American troops , where Ihe same indomitable bravery was displayed by a Bragg, a Meares, and a Bryan of our own State and where a McKee, a Yell, and a Clay, sealed with their blood their devotion to iheir country. Look at the other division of our Army, and you witness similar deeds of chivalry per formed by lhe no less distinguished Scott, and his gallaut followers, in their successful attack on the Castle of San Juan de Ul'oa aud the city of Vera Cruz their tiiumphaut march through the enemies country, and their bloody light on lhe rugged heights of Cerro Goido. But I foibear time would fail me, ' were I lo attempt to recount lhe many deeds of heioism wh'rh have been performed by those who have preceded you lo ihe tented h.-ld. We hope you will display the same energy and the same devotion in the protection of your country's lights and honor, as you have mauilested iu ma; shall ing your company fo the conflict aud as this sword will only be drawn iu defence of those rights, so il is ex pected, that you will not restore it lo its scab bard until an hoii Table -peace shall render its u-e unnecessary. Iu behalf of those, lhe fairer aud better portion of our race, who have favored us with their presence, permit me lo say, what I know will meet with a ready tespouso from their generous iiatii'es, that in Ihe hour of battle, should it be your fortune lo prove victorious, lhal this sword, while it avenges your coun try's wiring", will be used as the protector of female helplessness. Lei not its lustre be tarnished iu your bauds, by turuing a deaf ear to the c:ies of meicy from defeuccless woman. The daubters of America do tiol recoguize as enemies, iheir sisters Who reside under the sunny k:es of Mexico, but would entreat you to extend to them, in the hour of danger, that sympathy aud protection due to their sex and when the dark cloud of war shall have been dissipated by the mild beams of peace, and the soldier, laying aside the hibilimcuts of war, shall he transformed into lhe citizen, may you have the proud satisfaction of know ing that you have worn these testimonials of lhe confidence of your fiieuds, wiih credit to yourself and honor to your country. To which Lieut. Jones replied : Sir : I caunot express to you and lo my fellow cilizcus, my feelings on the present oc casion. I feel proud and highly honored at having these assurances of approbation and esteem; and I promise )ou upon the horror of a soldier, the highest and most sacied pledge a soldier has to give, lhal I will not dishoiior them. hat ihare done you know: what I tcill do remains to be seen; but 1 will never dihonr these gifts. War exists, and my couutry needs my ser vices. She shall have them ; and if with mv blond 1 can seal my devotion to her cause, it shall freely be poured out in defeuce of her liberties. You offer rne compliments for my despatch in recruiting my company. Though success has perched itself upon my standard iu this matter, die praise, if any, is due to the brave heaits who have tallied around iheir courttrys flag who have answered Iheir country's call in her hour of trouble. To them all honor is due to them- we look for support. in battle. I have doue no'hing but my duty. I have thrown, it is true, my whole eue'gy into the cause ; but it was no more than my duty, and therefore deserves no praise. Iu ihe front of the fight, if occasion offers, frill I bear these (to me) sacred emblems of the good feelings of those with whom I have so long associated, and shall leave, perhaps forever, far behind me. I feel, fellow citi zens, that in a measure, I tepresent you in ibis conflict; I will do my duty. Though untried, I go forth to the conflict without fear; the same God in whose bauds my destiny now is, will piotecl me then. 1 would assure lhe best and fairest portion of our race, the ladies, that my sword will leap on all occasions from its scabbard as quick for the protection ol female viitue aud inno cence, as for the defence of my country's flag ; aud although I expect victory to crown our effort in every engagement it maybe our good fortune to be io, yet we war only with the enemies of our country, and the weaker sex have nothiug to fear from us.. For the sake of those I leave behind me, I will remember to be honorable, if even Ihe diguiiy ,.rth nnal f have the honor to fill. Hid not ex act it of me. I I will assure yoo, fellow citizen?, 1 fcve j been well treated iug its gio'uud as long as it did ; aud that it did not retreat uuiil ordered io do so by Col. Bowles (as appeared io evidence before a couit of inquiry; ; and that its only fault was, that it did not rally as soon as it ought, and that was because no point was designated by the commander for it to rally on. Co'. Lane also corrects the statement thai Capt. Lincoln was killed while attempting lo tally tbeludiaua volunteers. Capt. Starbuck, iu answer lo au inquiry by Col. Lane, slates that Capt. Lincoln was shot down while de livering an order to no officer, immediately iu front of the Illinois volunteers. young officer, witting from Ch hua hua, aftci the battle of Sacramento, says that a Mexjcan flag was found on the battle field, made of black material, aud swallow-failed iu shape. On each swallow- tail was a death's head and cross bones. It appears, at last, that Mr Trial, of the State Department, did go lo Mexico, with im portant business, as will be seeu by the news of to-day from the army. Somebody said he was going to see a sick relation ! The detailed reports of the different officers after the battle of Buena Vista, have just been received at Washiuglou fiom Genl. Taylor, The General says, in a letter dated 21st April, that he has ascertained lhat Gen. Urrea has left that legion of country, and lhat the only interruption lo Ihe communications now, be tween Mouterey'and the Rio Grande, are the numerous bauds of robbers. He expects very soon to be joined by Colonel Doniphan, who. marched fiom Chihuahua for Saltillo. He learned by a person from San Luis, that Santa Anuas retreat to that place was mark ed by dead bodies for 180 miles. News from Jalapa of the 13th, says that the Diligencia (stage coach) arrived there from the city of Mexico, bringing intelligence that a new Presideni was to be elected on the 15th of May by Congress. : The Slates of Northern Mexico are said to be talking openly of separating from the Republic. JVr Kendall writes from Jalapa that there certainly is a very influential and increasing parly in Mexico, who declare themselves for peace. "Majors Borland and Gaines and Cpt.Clay and Mid. ltodgers, and the other offices with ihem, were at liberty in the city of Mexico, but not. the privates. Genl. Scott addressed a proclamation to the Mexicans, iu Spanish, dated at Jalapa, May 11, 1S47, iu which he u ges upon ibem the desire of the Uuitcd States lor peace; the folly of their continuing the war; iho deter mination of the. U. S. to prosecute it the consequences to the Mexicans if they persist iu the Guerilla system, rule &c. ' About 200 Mexicans were seen prowl ing about Captain Walker's Camp. He gave them chase and killed four. Cor An extract -of a letter is published from Genl. Tavlor, in (lie New Orlenus Bul letin, furnished by the persou lo whom it was wtitten. He says he will not say that he will not serve as President, if required to do so, however much opposed lo his wishes. He does not consider himself qualified for the post,-and would prefer to stand aside for some more eminent anions the manv names be fore the county. AMERICAN PRISONERS- It was supposed by every one, that at the exchange of prisoners after the battle of Bueua Vista, lhat Majois Gaines and Borland, and Capt. Clay, and the prisoners taken with them, by Gen. Minon, at Encarnacion, would be re leased ; aud it has even been published in same of the papers, that they had arrived at home in Ohio. But a letter from Maj Gaines to his brother, is now published, which is written from prison in the city of Mexico. He says that they were smuggled into the prison, at night, in great privacy, aud have been there ever since. The Picayune aud other papers have cen sured Gen. La Vega for ingratitude in not releasing these prisoners, while he was in command in lhe city of Mexico. To this censure the Getierel's aid, Lt Mejia, state in the Picayune that it never was iu lhe Gen eral's power to release them ; but that be has done all be could on all occasions for lhe American prisoners. That although ihe Gen eral received a letter of credit from General Taylor, to bo used while a pri-oncr io New Oi leans, he never used it. He further slates that all the American prisoners have received pay from Mexican government according to their rauk. during their captivity, and be ap peals to all of them to say. if tbey have not THE PRESIDENT A public meeting of the people of Petersburg have offered the President the hospitalities of the town.
