The correspondent of the Charleston Courier ays it is currently reported that the President has determined to recall Generals Scott, Pillow, Worth and Col. Duncan from Mexico, on account of their late difficulties. May be, so or maybe not. Not probable. In answer to the call of the Charleston Mer cury, the Hon. Isaac E. Holmes says that his in strumentality in the election of Mr Winthrop to the Speakership was based upon the fact that neither a southern whig nor a southern democrat could hare been elected ; and Mr Winthrop hav ing rejected the overture of the ubolitionists, he thought him the safest man. The Mercury, in reply to the explanation, shows its insufficiency, and want of sense or fore sight on the part of Mr Holmej for acting as he did. laws taxing the citizens of the State to raise j funds to be used for the education of poor children. We know nothing of the operation of the law as regards the attainment of its end, in other lo calities, but here, there is an utter perversion of he true intent and meaning of the law!" There is but one Common School in Fayette ville, and one teacher to it; and it has about 30 scholars. Out of that 30, we venture to say twenty at least are children of parents fully able to pay for the tuition of their children. Is it possible that there are no poor children in Fay etteville to be educated ? If not, then why ex pend the money? But the truth is, others rush in and fill up the school, and the poor children, whose parents have no means of knowing any thing about the school or the laws regulating it, are thus cheated of their lawful rights. Who is to blame ? Nobody of course. There never was any body to blame for certain evils. We lay no blame whatever to the superintend ents. They can do no more than execute the letter of the law. copies of the tour or memoir of Dr. Wislizrus. inrough the northern parts of Mexico, as physi cian 10 c-ol. Doniphan's column.

The democrats of Lenoir, as wc learn from the Newbern Republican, held a meeting at the Court House on the ISth Dec. Spirited resolutions were passed sustaining the course and views of the administration in relation to the war with Mexico, condemning the Wilmot proviso, and appointing twenty-five delegates to a State Convention. Also a resolution recommending to the con sideration of the Convention, the name of WAL TER V. LEAK. Geo. H. Benedict, Esq., of New York, addres sed the meeting. THE N. C ARGUS. We h-ve received the first number of this sheet, issued on Wednesday the .1th inst., at Wadesboro, Anson county, by Col. John W. Ci.meron,a gentleman who has re putation for t;ilents. The present number is well priutrd, on good paper. It is likely to prove Hiiite an acquisition to the region in which it will circulate. It is of the whig school in poli tics. We shall place it on our exchange list, and hope to make the acquaintance of the editor at the first convenient opportunity. Two men, says the Lumcnshurg (S. C.) Herald, from Rutherfoid county, N. C, carried a very pretty mulatto gill, 12 years old, to that place to sell her. But she gave information that she was free and had been kidnapped. One of the men was arrested, but the other escaped. The one arrested gave his name as Jos. S. Gibb.s, and said the other was named William Wilson. He con fessed the guilt. THE DEFENDERS OF MONOPOLY. The Observer tries to make out a fair case in favor of the Richmond Railroad Company for not carrying the mail at the price offered. When Mr Johnson came into office, he found the Richmond Railroad carrying the mail at a price which had been fixed by Mr Tyler, as um pire, (the farmer Postmaster General having re fused to make such a bargain) and sooner than create a disturbance during the four contract years, Mr Johnson permitted the bargain to stand; but when the time came around for Mr Johnson to malte a contract with the road, he gave the officers of the road notice, that under the con struction he and his predecessors had put upon the law, he could not pay them the price they were then getting ; and the result was that they refused to carry it otherwise, and the mat ter was referred to Congress. Speaking of the failures of the northern mail, which have all been attributed to the change from the Railroad to the Steamboat, the Union publishes a statement comparing the failures on the Richmond road in IS 4 3, month of December, with those by the Bay boats, in December IS47, and the result is more failures bv the road than by the boats. As the Observer quotes from a speech in Con gress to sustain his position, we may be allowed the same liberty. Mr G. W. Jones says: In July, 1843, when the first contract with the Richmond and Frederic ksbunr company expired, they took, up the act of 1839, and claimed of Mr Wicklifte, the then Postmaster General, that he was au thorized to pay them S300 per mile But the department refusing to do this, they took the question from Mr Wicklifte, and appealed to the actinj; President, Mr Tyler ; and thereupon, for some reason, or perhaps without any reason, the President became satisfied they should have g2C0 per mile. Under this award of President Tyler, the company took the contract, and he'ld it till the first of July last. Gentle men who had addressed. tUe committee in support of the amendment had said that it was unjust in the Postmaster General to withhold from the company the same com pensation which he had himself paid up to July. But the Postmaster General had also paid the terms of every other contract which he found to be in existence when he came into the department ; and the fact, that in this case there was no written con- . . t tract, made no dinerence. e all know that these contracts are for four years ; and from the fact that this contract was not disturbed, it could not be inferred that the present Postmaster General had acqui esced at all in the decision of President Tvler. "Well, when their contracts expired, in July last, the company come forward and demanded ol the Postmaster General $2y3 ior volunteers. The Senate then resumed the- consideration of the bill to create ten new regi ments. Mr Cass remarked that this was the first of a series of bills which the military committee were about to present. He was in hopes that these bills would be passed before the existing debate on the policy of the war should commence, but he feared that such would not be the case ; but he appealed to gentlemen of the opposite side to consider the importance of these bills, and what might happen from delaying their passage. A motion was then made that the further consid eration of the bill be postponed to allow Mr Cal houn to address the Senate on his resolutions. Mr Cass and others contended that unless it was understood that only Mr Calhoun was to speak, they would not agree to the postponement ; but Mr Badger said it was a want of courtesy to at tempt to debar Mr Calhoun from speaking on his resolutions. No one sustained Mr Badger in this view. After considerable talking to very little purpose, the bill was postponed for Mr Calhoun's benefit. In the House, a resolution was offered by Mr Hudson (a whig) in regard to the expediency of directing the President of the United States to A DINNER was given to Generals Shields and Quitman in Washington city, on the th of Jan'y, at which a number of speeches' were made. Mr Buchanan said, among other things in con nection with the war, that in Europe they could not understand how it is that a gentleman should go from the "woolsack" of a State and become a distinguished General; aid. alluding to General Shields he said, of all places under the sun to educate a gener.d for the field, he thought the land office the most extraordinary ((Jen. Shields was commissioner of the IjihI office when he wus appointed to the army.) Gen. Shields, among "ther remarks in his vein of genuine Irish wit, said that the army under ;en. Scott had not only astonished the Mexicans, ,.i ,.t,r f.,ii r countries, bv the success of their arms, but when they found themselves, with j per mile; which, of course, the depart only six thousand men, in a city with two hun- ; merit declines to pay, and oilers hat is dred thousand inhabitants, they were as much j believed to be the maximum compensation ; astonished as the Mexicans. 1 hey had actually astonished themselves. Speaking of fighting " by the book," and taking it rough and tumble, he said that the best mili tary writers lay it down that, when a general has his fltnk and rear turned by the enemy, he must either retreat or surrender; but, singular as it wis, Gen. Taylor was in that same predicament at Buena Vista, but continued to fight it out ; and at the battle of Churubusco, said Gen. Shields, I hppened tube placed in a very similar situation, and although hooks and military science lay down rules for extricating troops in difficulties, I never thought of doing it by any other way than by breaking through the enemy's centre. I rode along the column and stated that 1 should lead the charge, and called on the whole command to follow me. A Colonel in the command (Butler) stepped in front of his regiment, raised his cap, and said " Gen. Shields, every South Carolinian will follow you to death." The cry was respond ed to by every Carolinian ; and the New Yorkers responded with enthusiasm. The Mexicans were routed. Gen. Jessup in the course of some remarks said that, the fact that our people of all professions could be so easily trained to be good soldiers was attributable to their habits, which had made very man familiar with riding and shooting. The nobility and gentry of England had the same advantage, but the game laws which prohibit the common people from killing game, have paralyzed the mass of the people. He alluded also to the number of educated men in the army, as one of its attributes of success. Hon. Reverdy Johnson (a whig member) said that if our volunteers had not conquered a peace with Mexico, they had conquered a permanent peace for us with all other nations. Hon. Sela R. Hobbie said that w hen in London last summer, he visited the tower, and passed from hall to hall, viewing the implement of war ed thrpueh the different ages of English his tory and by different countries. They were so arranged as to exhibit as trophies which victori ous England had. won from other nations in con flict but he saw nothing which had been wrested from the unuea owi Two fine steamers of the Bay Line were burned at the wharf at Baltimore on the 4th mst. Loss $30,000 The Whig State Convention is to he held at Baleigh on the 22d February, says the Register The resolution for restoring the mail to the Richmond Road was rejected by the House en Monday which the company, on their part, also de dine. But they come down now from their original demand, and are willing to compound with the department for 8260 per mile Some stress of argument, by the gentle man from Virginia, was attempted to bt laid on the fact that the northern companies, having a larger amount of travel, could on this account, afford to work cheaper for the government. But Mr J said, let us ro farther south, and pass beyond Peters burg, and look at the contract for the mail- service between Petersburg and Weldon, and we shall find that this same southern mail is carried on that route lor $257 50 per mile and from Charleston to Augusta, and from Augusta to Atalanta, the price is still the same : and from Atalanta to Mobile this same mail is carried for $128 per mile. Mr J. was satisfied in his own mind that it should be the tendency ot railroads as much to cheapen the transportation of mails as to cheapen the cost or travelling anu the rates of freight. He considered that the rail reads might well afford to carry the mails for even one-half less than the post coa h rates, instead of twenty-five per cent, above those rates. Mr J nroceeded to state that the max imum for carrying the semi-daily mail be tween this city and New V0rk was 8300 ner mile ; while between iew ior anu Buffalo the man was carruru imccauuj for less than 55200 per mile ; and between New York, and New England there was nonartofthe semi-daily route where the cost of transportation exceeded gl00 per mile. One reason tor tnis was, mat me State of New York, when her railroads were becoming refractory in this matter he mentioned this to her creditpassed a law requiring them to contract for carrying the mails according to the law of Congress ; and that, for everv dav's refusal to do so, they should forteit and pay to the people the sum of $100. This law obviated at once all the difficulty in the State of New York. Mr J- referred also to the case of one of these refractory companies in Con necticut, which was brought into confor mity to the post office law by the people petitioning the legislature f?T repeal their charter. withdraw the American army to the east bank of the Rio Grande, and to propose to the Mexican government forthwith a treaty of peace, relin quishing all claim to indemnity for the expenses of the war; that the boundary line shall be some where between the Neuces and the Rio Grande ; and that Mexico shall provide for the payment of the money due the citizens of the United States. This resolution caused a considerable stir in the House, and motions were made to lay it on the table ; but they did not prevail, and after some time the main question was put on the passage of the resolution, and it was rejected by 137 to 41. This resolution proving that the whig represen tatives have more sense and patriotism than the whig press. But one of the IST. C. Representa tives was graceless enough to vote for it, Mr Boyden. A resolution was offered presenting the thanks of Congress to Gen Taylor, his officers and men, for their bravery at the battle of Buena Vista. Mr Henly moved to amend by adding the words " engaged as they were, in defending the rights of the country." Mr Ashmun moved to amend the amendment by adding " in a war unconstitu tionally and unnecessarily begun by the Presi dent." The amendment to the amendment was agreed to by a vote of S5 to 81. The House then adjourned. Tuesday, Jan. 4. In the Senate, to day, Mr I'reese introduced a bill to create the office of suiveyor general in the Territory of Oregon, and to grant pre-emption rights to actual settlers On motion of Mr Cass, a call was made on the Secretary of War for any despatches received from the commanders of our army in Mexico since the transmission of his annual report. Mr Butler submitted a motion of inquiry as to the expediency of giving authority to the Presi dent to promote officers of the army into any f the new regiments about to be raised, without prejudice to their present commissions. TheSenate proceeded to the considerat ion of Mr Calhoun's resolution, on which he addressed the Senate for somewhat more than an hour, justify ing and explaining his original opposition to the war, and asserting mat, irom ine omser, ncnau foreseen the tremendous evils it must of necessi ty inflict on our institutions. Unless the defen sive line which he suggested should be adopted, these evils could not be avoided. t'There would then be left no alternative but to fall in with the recommendation of the President, and carry on the war to its termination. He protested against the subjugation of Mexico, to be held as a pro vince, or the annexation of her as teritorry to be admitted into the States of the Union. r As ex? perience had taught , it would require the con stant presence of astanding army of 40,000 men to keep her in tranquillity and submission ; and, as States of this Union, we could never admit an Indian and mixed-blood population to an equality and association with our free white citizens.' There was, in Mr C.'s opinion, not the smallest chance to disentangle ourselves from the difficul ty we were in, except to take a defensive line to take indemnity into our own hands. When the war was declared, he would have proposed, if time had been allowed, to limit our efforts to defence. He would now propose to fall back upon a line he would not say what one. He would withdraw our troops from the centre of Mexico. We were now tied to a dead corpse, and he would get rid of it. Our true policy was equity, forbearance, justice, and magnanimity. We must await events. We must avoid wars and conquest. This was not the first time he had raised his voice against war. He had the satisfac tion, standing, alone, of opposing the proposition of Gen Jackson to issue letters of reprisal against France. He warned gentlemen that, it they went on in this career of war and debt, they would seal the death-warrant of the constitution. Free trade would become a mere name. High taxation of every kind would be inevitable. All the cardinal principles of the administration would be reversed, and we should have debt, high tariffs, and paper money. He appealed to his friends of the administration side for he consid ered them his friends to retrace their steps. Retraction would confer on them the highest honor. He appealed to gentlemen on the other side, who were responsible for this war in some measure not by voting to relieve Taylor, but by voting money to get territory which they did not intend to accept to take a different course, and to agree to a defensive line. He would remind gentlemen of that side that the public 'sense the general voice of the country called for some territorial indemnity ; and it was idle to resist it. He should not now propose anything ; but if he found that he would be supported, he would propose to construct a committee to consider what would be the defensive line, and who would avail themselves of the opportunity, fortunately presented, of consulting officers of the army now in this city. The resolutions were then, on motion of Mr Sevier, laid on the table, with the assent of Mr Calhoun ; and the Senate proceeded to the consideration of executive business. In the House, the special order 4he joint-re solution in relation to the transportation of the great southern mail? was postponed. The House then went into Committee of the solution heretofore offered by Mr Goggin, call ing upon the President for information in relation to the return of General Santa Anna to Mexico ; which, after some debate, was adopted, with an amendment, calling also for information in rela tion to the return of General Parades. Wednesday, Jan. 5. In the Senate, the bill from the House, to make further provision for the surviving widows of the soldiers of the revo lution, was read a first time. The bill authoriz ing the acceptance of 20,000 additional volunteers came up in its order; but, on motion of Mr Cass, was laid on the table until the bill under discus sion should be disposed of. The Senate then proceeded to consider the bill to increase the re gular army. Mr Crittenden moved to amend the bill, by striking out the enacting clause, and in serting a substitute, giving the President authori ty to accept the services of 30,000 volunteers, whenever, in his opinion, the exigencies of the service require it. Mr Crittenden explained his object. He thought the army in Mexico called for no immediate increase. With half the pre sent number, all the victories have been achieved hitherto, and he thought there was strength there which he estimated at 43,000 men to hold all the territory which had been acquired. He as serted that, with the addition of the number now asked, our army would amount from 90;000 to 100,000 men. He went into some calculation in detail to prove this. Mr Cass corrected some errors in the statement. Mr Jefferson Davis made an eloquent speech against the amendment, and, after highly eulogiz ing the volunteers as the best men for a Ight, ex pressed his conviction that the high spirit which made them unconquerable in fight, made them difficult of government in inaction. The question was then taken on the amend ment, which was rejected, yeas 19, nays 20. An amendment, moved by Mr R. Johnson, au thorizing the President to call out the ten regi ments as circumstances required their services, was agreed to. A motion was made to adjourn, after the bill had been ordered for engrossment, but was negatived. The bill wras then ordered to be engrossed, and the Senate adjourned. In the House, Major John P. Gaines, member elect from Kentucky, appeared, was qualified, and took his seat. A message was received from the President of the U. States, transmitting, in compliance with a resolution of the House, all the correspondence with Gen. Taylor not heretofore furnished. The joint resolutiou reported from the com mittee on the Post Office and Post Roads, in rela tion to the southern mail, was discussed by Mr Botts, Mr Lincoln, and Mr Root, in committee of the whole House. The committee rose with support the measure reported by him, and to re ply to objections urged against it. And when the time arrived for the debate to cease, a question of order arose, under the new rules of the House, which was discussed at length ; the committee rose for the purpose of settling the question of order, and, without settling it, adjourned. Friday, Jan. 7. The Senate did not sit to-day. In the House, Mr Vinton offered a resolution for the employment of a clerk to the committee oi Ways and Means, which was adopted. Mr Goggin closed the debate on the subject of the joint resolution relative to the southern mail. MECKLENBURG JEFFERSONIAN. Mr Hampton has again disposed ot his interest in the Meek. Jeffersonian. This time to Mr James Fulton. We h ope Mr . will bend his energies to it, and make it such a paper that peo ple will have it. The Raleigh Standard asks the whig members of Congress who voted for the declaration in the House of Representatives, that the war was "un constitutionally and unnecessarily begun by the President" (and not by the "act of Mexico," as was voted on a former occasion) why they do not impeach the President, if they believe what they say 1 Where are their oaths ?

Many of our readers will be pleased to find on the outside of this paper, that good old story of Tarn O Shanter." To hear a man read it who can give it the real Scotch accent, and in the humorous vein of the lines, is no ordinary tre.it.

Among the petitions offered, was one from the Friends at New Garden, in Pennsylvania, praying Congress' to adopt measures to bring the war to a termination, and to aid in procuring a tribunal for the settlement of disputes between nations Mr Miller, from the committee on the District of Columbia, reported without amendment the bill to authorize the erection of a monument to Gen Washington on the public groundsrand asked the Senate for its immediate action on the bilL Mr Sevier said let it lie over until Monday. A bill to provide for the appointment of addi tional pursers in the navy was taken up ; when Mr Badger moved to amend, by making them commissioned instead of warrant officers. Be fore any vote was taken, the bill was laid over as also was the bill to extend the time for locat ing bounty land warrants. Mr Yulee presented 1 resolutions from the Florida legislature, relative to-the exDenses of the Florida volunteers. Mr Bortier presented proceedings of the South Car olina legislature in favor of a branch of the United States mint at Charleston. Mr Badger, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported a bill to promote the filling up of the Vacancies in the volunteers now in the ser vice ef the United States. The bill extends the present bounty "given to regulars, to volunteers to be recruited under this act. The bill was read a third time, and passed. The bill for the increase of the army was then read a third time ; and the question being on its passage, Mr Hale rose and." addressed the Senate for upwards of an hour in'opposition to the bill, and to supplies of every kind, as well as any ap propriations of money, unless for the purpose of bringing home our troops in Mexico, by the short est and cheapest route. He denounced the war in its inception, and the whole course of the pre sent administration ; and contended that the true cause of the war was to be found in the diploma tic correspondesce previous to the annexation of Texas, on the subject of the mission of Andrews, and the testimony there exhibited of the deter; mination of our government to make the extent sion ol human slavery one of the primary causes of its action. After Mr Hale had concluded, Mr Tnli enn nf TVfarvland. obtained the floor. The Senate then went into executive business, and af ter some time adjourned till Monday. The House went into committee of the whole on the state of the Union, and resumed the con sideration of the joint resolution relative to the southern mail. The question being on the amend ment offered by Mr G. W. Jones, providing that in case the contract with the Potomac and Rich mond steamboat Company be renewed, said com- panv shall indemnify the present contractors for the discontinuance of the routes by which the mail is now conveyed. Mr Jones spoke an hour on the subject, and in defence of the course pur sued bv the Postmaster General. Mr Murphy of New York, followed, and argued in favor of the restoration of the old route by law, and the pay ment to the present contractors of a fair equiva lent for dispensing with their services ; though he believed that the Postmaster General could have acted in this matter in no other way than as he had done, in pursuance of the existing law. Mr Meada spoke in reply to the remarks of his colleagMe f Mr BottsJ and, in support of the course taken by the Postmaster General,, and suggested a substitute for the joint resolution, which he would offer at the proper time, fixing a certain maximum contract price for maiP transportation on railroads..
