, et u take another view of the subject:
it is well known that the moneyed men
ol England are interested to a large amount
in the silver mines of Mexico it is also
Known that Mexico owes England millions
ot dollarshorn these causes Englaud ha3
an itching alter this territory; sheisonly
waitmg, like the ferocious Tiger, for a la
yorable opportunity to jump and devour
her victim. One of her officers (Lord Pal
merstonj but a short time since in an Offi
cial document, promulgated to the world
that she (England; las the right to take the
territory of a nation fur debts due her citi
zens, peaceably if she can, forcibly if she
must. And how easily she can secretly
intrigue with the Mexican leaders, and
in a few years Mexico would be English
territory. Would this be agreeable to Mr
C. and the advocates of a defensive line?
for if the army is withdrawn from the in
terior, the very opportunity she desires
will be given her.
Let us take another view ol the subject:
Suppose some of the chivalric and darin"
spirits who, like Cortes and his followers
have fought their way from the sea-shore
to the halls of the Montezuinas, who, loth
to give up the advantages already gained,
should propose to retain possession of the
country, there are thousands ready to join
it a ill at least be a strong temptation. A
country like Mexico, her climate and soil
as various as the seasons, capable of pro
ducing nearly all the fruits oi the earm
her rich gold, silver, lead, and copper
mines; these we say are great inducements,
which exert a talismanic intluence on man's
heart at least in the present day.
JShouid this prove to be the case, the cry
would soon come from the legislative hall's
of the Montezumas, Admit us into your
Union;'' the answer would be ready, 'come,
come, and be again ot the great republican
brotherhood."
One ol these views would undoubtedly
be the result of adopting a defensive line;
and neither of them would meet the vii-us
o Mr C and the advocates of his policy.
'So much then for the defensive line.
That a vigorous prosecution of the war,
as recommended ov the President, is the
best policy, botli for Mexico and our own
country, there ceil be but little doubt. But
the opponents of this course sav: We have
already conquered Mexico, and still there
is no peace. This is easily accounted for,
from the fact, that our army has advanced
from the very bejrinninir of the war, with
the olive branch in one hand and the sword
in the other. We find this policy will not
do. Then let us do as the President re
commends, that i.s, take possession of all
their most important cities, towns and
.stations levy taxis, make them support
our army let their rulers ami their rich
men feel the effects of the war; then, and
not till then, will they sue for peace. And
when this is done, they will sue for peace,
and we, heing the victorious party, will
have the power to dictate the terms of
peace.
Ami the terms of that, we doubt not,
will be (itieiisive ami defensive; that is,
Rafter taking territory enough as indemnity
for the past.) we will guarantee to cherish
and protect her rights against all other
nations. This done, our people will mi
grate thither, and with their assistance,
she w'll rise again, Pnoenix-like, from her
ashes her commerce will increase her
barren places will be made to bloom with
"the lit v and the rose her now down-trod-len
people will become civilized then,
indeed, she will be, what some of her his
torians claim, theoiiginal Eden of our first
parents.
This can only be done by a vigorous pro
secution of the war.
We shall now notice the principal,
and in fact the only, objection urged by the
opponents of the President; that is: that
it is his (the President's) intention to con
quer and then annex the whole country.
Now it is well known that any treaty made
by the President must be ratified by the
.Senate. The House of Representatives
also indirectly has the power to abrogate
it. So important a question as that must
come before the great tribunal, viz: the
people.
I he objection then, that the Fresnient
wants to annex the whole country, is as
absurd as it is ridiculous. That three
fourths of the people are in favor of a vigor
ous prosecution of the war, cannot be
doubted; and furthermore, we believe nine
tenths of the people are in favor of taking
indemnity, and do and will support the
course recommended bv the President.

FAYETTEVILLE.
THE WAR. We devote 2 large space to the
interesting details of the lst news from Mexico.
There 13 no other news as interesting or import
ant. The proceedings cf Congress arc of no im
portance, and of but little if any benefit to the
country; being, we should say, more expensive
than profitable. We see nothing, as yet, of a de
finite nature, with regard to peace.
SHOT. A letter from Duncan Johnson, of
Capt. Kirkpatrick's company, near Saltillo, gives
an acceunt of the shooting of Victor Galbraith,
of the Arkansas Cavalry, said to have been a na
tive of Wilmington, N. C.
The letter states that his offence was the kill
ing of a sentinel upon his post, and an attempt
upon the life of his Captain. He was tried by
Court Martial and sentenced to be shot. He
met death with all the heroism of romance. Two
men were detailed from each company, who drew
lots to decide which should undergo the unpleas
ant dutv of firing. Reuben Jones and James
Thames were detailed from Capt. Kirkpatrick's
company. The lot fell upon the latter. The
distance was 8 paces. Galbraith stood upon his
coflin, looked death lull in the face, as the file
of men stood ready with pieces cocked to pull
trigger, and exclaimed to them take steady aim
boys."
They fired ; two balls entered him, but did not
kill him ; he fell upon his face and cried for wa
ter; the reserve files were ordered up; fired, and
he died.
In cases of this kiad.no man ever knows whose
b .11 does the execution. A number of muskets,
some loaded with ball and some with blank car
tridges, are stacked, and the men choose them
without knowing which are loaded with ball and
which not.
In the Iowa Legislature there is a democratic
majority on joint ballot; but the whigs have a
majority in th? lower House, and refuse to go in
to an election of Senators, preferring that there
shall be no Senators in Congress from that State,
rather than democratic ones. That is right, as
the whigs do it ; but it would be wrong if the
" locofocos" did it.
A THIRD CANDIDATE. The fight between
the Taylor and Clay whig is becoming so warm,
that we should not be surprised if, when they
come in to Convention, they drop both, and lake
Gen. Scott, or some one else.

Mr Editor: It is with gratification we notice
the anniversary of the birth-day of Robert Burns,
the sreat Poet of Scotland, which was commem
orated by the "Burns Club" in the city of New
York on the 20th ult. A most splendid banquet
was prepared for the occasion by Messrs Clarke
.tc Brown, Franklin ColTec House, Maiden Lane,
at which all the delicacies of the season were
soread in the greatest profusion. The table was
very beautifully ornamented, and the room had a
most brilliant appearance. Each of the party
wore a sprig of the genuine mountain heather
("fraoch gorm nam beann") in his bosom, which
I used to sec every day of my life (till the year
IS 12) on the high mountains of the Jura, in the
highlands ol Scotland. Upwards of SO gentlemen
sat down, among whom were XV. C. Bryant, Esq,
of the Evening Post, and Dr. Bartlett of the Al-
u: -T-..fl tli Club. Quotinjr some of
the songs of their illustrious countryman.
They can organize such a society in New Yorkf
why not do the same in Fayettevillc and through
the dales of North Carolina. It is sweet to let
memory dwell on the past. "Lovt of country is
one of the noblest virtues we can possibly cherish,
and it does not interfere with our duties and re
sponsibilities as citizens in this the land of our
adoption." Show me the man who loves not the
land of his birth, the land where the ashes of his
fathers repose, and you show me one who is as

It is delightful to meet as brothers to speak on

worth, and manlv independence.

May he live to sound a more joyous note on his

Gen. Quitman in his report, very flatteringly
complimented Lieut. Bell for his gallantry in
leading one of the storming parties (forlorn hope)
at the taking of the Castle of Chapultepec. A
typographical error in the report, however,
makes it read Ball, instead, as it should be, Bell.
MNEMOTECHNYf. Professor Miles, the in

Except one matter, which appears to be a pro

without authority, and is disavowed by the Presi
dent as having been made by Mr Trist, without
authority.

kind. He offered to give up the wholr of Lower ( alifomia.

In the House, speeches for and against the war
constituted the business.
In Senate, Feb. 3. There was nothing of con
sequence done; the ten regiment bill still under

In the House, political speeches were the or
der. Mr Vinton stated that the whig party ought
not to countenance a proposition which had been
brought forward for a direct tax; soMrWilmot's
proposition for a direct tax of $5,000,000 a year
was voted down; yeas 44, nays 143. Silly Davy
Wilmot!
In Senate, Feb'y 4 A bill was passed mak
ing appropriations for removing obstructions in
Savannah river. The ten regiment bill was de
bated. GEN. TAYLOR'S LETTER.
A messrge from; the President was read,
being a reply to the resolution of t he 21st January,
calling for a copy ol Gen Taylor's answer to the
letter dated Jan. 27, 1S47, addressed to him by
the Secretary of War. The letter from the De
partment was laid before Congress last session.
Gen Taylor says that though the letter from
the Secretary may not convey any direct censure
from the Department, yet in connexion with the
paragraph in the army regulations, touching
the publication of private letters concerning oper
ations in the fild, he is not permitted to doubt,
that he has become the subject of executive disapprobation.
To any expression of it from the President, he
is bound by duty patiently to submit, but lest his
silence should be construed into a tacit admission
of the grounds and conclusion of the Secretary's
letter, he must be permitted to submit a lew re
marks in reply.
His own letter b?ar3 upon its face evidence
that it was not intended for publication, and on
ly for a friend's perusal. He was not ia the ha
bit of writing for newspapers. The letter was
a familiar one to an old military friend, with
whom, for many years, had exchanged opinions
on professional subjects. Its publication was
not foreseen.
He deems the terms "mischievous" and "dis
graceful," in the Secretary's letter, as convey
ing a measure of rebuke rather harsh, and not
warranted- There was nothing in his letter
which, under the sume cirenmstances, he would
not write again.
His views of the policy in regard to Mexico
were held by many distinguished statesmen, and
likely by conspicuous officers of the Navy. It
was difficult to im igine, then, how an effusion of
his could give peculiar evidence to the enemy
or specially disincline him to. enter into peace
negotiations.
It gave him great pain to be brought into this
potation with the War Department it was not
of his seeking To the extent c;f his i means and
ability, he had carried out the. wishes and instruc
tions of the Executive. But it could ndt be con
cealed, that since the capitulation of Monterey,
the confidence of the Department, and. he feared,
of the President, had been gradually with
drawn, and his consideration and usefulness cor
respondingly diminished ' .
He asked no favor, and shrank from no res
ponsibility. While entrusted with the com
mand, he should continue to direct all his ener
gies to thepublic good, looking forward for reward
to the consciousness of pure motives and the
final verdict ofimpartial history.

other importaut business transjeted.
fore, we thought it might possibly be a mistake ;
but when we saw Gen. Pierce state the fact in a
speech to his fellow-citizens of New Hampshire,
we could no longer doubt.
Since then, we see another extract frosa his
speech, ia which, besides the above important
fact, he make3 the follow ing declaration. :
ln conclusion, he said he was not here
to discuss any matters in controversy, but
to meet his friends. Vet the subject of"
the war was necessarily presented to their
consideration by the occasion. Before
engaging in it, it was his belief that the
war had been irresistibly pressed upon us
If lie had doubted before, conversations he
had had with the most intelligent Mexicans
would have confirmed him that the war
w as unavoidable on our part. Four of the
Mexican commissioners were in favor of
the propositions submitted by Mr Trist,
but they were overawed by threats and
demonstrations of the mob in Mexico,
stimulated by opponents to the then exist
ing government.''

CHLOROFORM. This singular sub
stance is said to have been dicovered about
the same time by Sombeira flSSl) and
Lieibig, (1832:) and its composition was
first accurately described by Dumas in
1 835. It is destined to supersede the Ieth
eon in its power of deadening the nervous
sensibility. Its effects are so well attest
ed, that there does not seem to be a sin
gle doubt of its virtues and uses. It lias
been employed by dentists in the line of
their profession, and by surgeons in their
most difficult and delicate operations.- The
newspapers in Europe and in the United
States are full, of cases. We have heard
of several operations in this District among
others, of a colored boy in Georgetown,
who lost one of the bones of his leg under
the influence '.of the chloroform, perfectly
unconscious of the pain of its extraction
l)r Humphreys -assures us of its efficiency
in the extraction of teeth in numerous

induced, iiie whole. .operation upon the
girl on Capitol Hill was over in ten minu
tes that - is, the whole enormous cancer
of the breast cutaway, and the arteries tied
up, and the whole .wound sewed up.
The advantage is, not only that it dead-;
ens the pain, but there is of course no writh
ing of the body ; and the surgeon per
forms the operation with perfect ease and
command of the patient. It is easy to dis-'
sipate its inll uence. A few drops of water
thrown into the lace bring a person to his
senses. No one can tell w hat is the end
of all this to how may maladies this
poweiful agent may be applied. Already
it is said to have done away with nearly

how many cases of nervous disorder it ma
he applied ; perhaps to hydrophobia to
insanity and may it not, in some degree,
abate the symptom's of consumption, &c,
&c.r A new- field of discovery indeed is
opened, not only to surgery, but to medi
cine. We understand that the Surgeon Gener
al of the army of the United States has al
ready taken it in hand so effectually Isas
new discovery overcome the first prejudices
which oppose bold innovations; and a sup
ply of the article has been sent to the ar

to their fellow-citizens at home.

night was worthy of the best days of the old

an important and impressive demonstration.
Long before the hour of meeting, the ave

with people and forfully two hours from
7 till 9 o'clock not only was the room
completely crowded, but the stairway and
hall out into the street were blocked upby
a dense mass. Even in this populous and

an outpouring of the masses. Fully six

The Iliioni: Island Cask. -This week
is the time allotted by the Supreme Court
of the U. S- forbearing arguments in the
case of Martin Luther, of Rhode Island.
This case involves the whole question of
the difficulties in' Rhode Island, and will
doubtless be onetf the most important in
its principles that will be taken up at this
session. The case come up on appeal from
the United States Circuit for Rhode Island,
Martin Luther being plaintiff in error, and
Luther M Borden and others, defendants
in error. Mr Luther is a citizen of Mas
sachusetts, and sued the defendants, citi
zens of Rhode Island, for breaking anil en
tering his house in 1843. The answer is
that lie was traitorously engaged in an en
terprise to overthrow the state government,
ami that they wtre acting under the au
thority of the state as members of a legal
military corps, breaking into his house to
arrest him. Having failed in the Court
below, the plaintiff now comes into the
supreme tribunal of the nation, assuming
the validity of the People's Constitution.

Dikkct Tax Upon the resolutions re
ferring the Presideut's Message to the ap
propriate Committees, 3Ir ilinot, of Ii.,
yesterday moved an amendment, namelv,
that the Committee on Ways and Means
should be instructed to inquire into the ex
pediency of paying a tax upon personal pro
perty, money, plate, stocks, &c., to the
amount of 5,000,000 towards defraying
the expenses of the war. This amendment
will not be adopted. It is very well un
derstood by the southern members that this
contemplates the taxing of .slave properly.
which in some States, I believe, is consid
ered as real estate, and inv impression is
that this is the principal object of the amend
ment Petersburg Republican.
The VVhig Editors of Ohio held a con
vention at Columbus last week, and resolv
ed to support no man for the Presidency
who was "not a Whig, a whole Whig, and
nothing but a Whig," They also want
the Whig National Convention to be held
