ANOTHER GENERAL DECLINED. Col Cui3GS, of Georgia, wh was appointed Major General, under the new law officering the ten regiments, has declined receiving his commis sion. Col Cuminings served in the last war with Great Britain, and was the most prominent hero in the battle of Williamsburg. He resigned his com mission in 1S15. SeTeral years afterwards, he fought a couple of duels with Mr. McDvffie, in both of which Mr McD. was wounded. EPPES. THE MURDERER, ARRESTED! Under the above caption, the Mobile Advertiser of the 11th, says: u We learn from the N. O. Com mercial Time, that this notorious person was ar rested in that city, on Monday last, by Capt Win ter, of the Second Municipality Police. He arrived there in the Steamship Galveston, from Texas." OUR OWN DISTRICT. We learn from the aTaboro' Press," that Gen. Hawkins addressed the People of Edgecomb Coun ty, at the Superior Court, last week. Whilst the K Press," afraid of the General's popularity, dares not deny that he is "a true and faithful Democrat," it yet reads him the following side-thrust : "Gen. Harckvu was in the Legislature whkh formed our new District, and announced himself a Candidate, before the people in some parts of the .Distrkt actually knew of the formation of the Dis trict. This attempt to put himself forward in ad vance, is evidently an effort to take advantage of other aspirants, and of the people themselves." Mr. Calhoun met his fellow-citiiens of Charleston, last Tuesday evening, at the Theatre in that City, which was packed full to meet and greet him. The two lower tiers were filled with ladies. When he made his appearance upon the 6tage, such a shout of rapturous welcome was sent up, as made the walls re-echo with its gladness ; and it was long before the outbursts of feeling, again and again reiterated, could be sufficiently repressed to enable Mr. Calhoun to return his acknowledg ments for his kind reception. CoL Havne, from the Committee appointed for that purpose, having sub mitted a Report, embodying, in forcible and eloquent language, the sentiments of the meeting, in obedience to their wishes, Mr. Calhoun addressed them at some length. The breathless silence of that vast assembly, only interrupted by the occasional outbursts of en thusiasm, bespoke the deep and absorbing interest of the subject, and the deference paid to the opinions of him whom they have so long regarded as the em bodiment of Southern patriotism, chivalry, and statesmanship. MR. SENATOR BUTLER. A Tcry large and enthusiastic meeting was held at Columbia. S. C. on the 15th inst to welcome back Mr. Senator Butleh. In the course of a long Speech which he delivered on the occasion, he explained (says the "Chronicle,") the causes which had pro duced the late schism in the a Democratic party," which, as a party, he denounced in the most unmea sured terms, as utterly devoid either of political decen cy or political honesty, and which he thanked God he had sewed himself fcomforeteiT He repudiated the very name of that party, and said he claimed that of t , i ..i! i 3 v ? l r r i "V liepuuucan ior dioidcii idu his jrij. ui mc iicw York "Democracy," which he considered the special exponent of that sect, he spoke much in the tone of Coriolanus of the Roman rabble voice, words and gesture, all indicating the most profound disgust.- He said the war against himself, commenced on his refusing to vote for Benton as Lieut. General, and in a happy vein of blended mockery and sarcasm, denotuteed that measure, declaring his own stern re fusal to elr& such a man as Besto over the heads of the gallant Worth and Tati-or. BGT'Mr. Bf.stov acted with great asperity to ward Mr. Calhoun, in their recent collision in the Senate, and charged him with having caused the war, by procuring the annexation of Texas. Mr. C re plied, that he gloried in the deed of annexation, And the part he took in it. One thing was evident, said Mr. Calhodn. The war was certainly unpop ular, er the Senator from Missouri would never have charge Mm with producing it ! This was a severe and onvejed a meaning which Mr. Bestoji well understood - PROMOTIONS.

He would be impeached if he did, and he knows it He would not have the hardihood to avnw an hnld &n usnr nation nnon the rirhta of Con- ' " o gress. ' If Mexico assailed us, is not this long recital at least impertinent ? Is it not beside the question? Why not rather boldly take the bull by the horns, and declare that we are fightig in self-defence f Where b the necessity of justifying self-defence? yy nai was ine next blunder r w as it not in sending Gen. Taylor to the Rio Grande to engage the enemy, without furnishing him with the means I necessary to the pursuit of a flying foe? After the glorious battle of Resaca de la Palma, the victorious General could only drive them into the River, but had no way of pursuing them over, and capturing them on their own soil. Neither boats, nor Ponton Bridges, for which he had importuned the Govern ment, were at his command ; and he was obliged to stand on the banks and see the enemy escape from his hands. The Administration then saw their er ror, and endeavored to retrieve it, by afterwards sending on the necessary means. They came too late. They can now only be of service in a retreat. and retreat is a' word not found in old Zack's Dic tionary. Another blunder, which has covered with shame and contempt this Administration, was the free Pass, given to the three controlling spirits of the Mexican War, Santa Ann, Almonte and Rejon, who were then in exile at Havana. The reasons for this strange way of aiding and comforting the enemy, have not been divulged The only assignable rea son is, that Mr. Polk was persuaded that Santa An na would be recreant to his people, and a traitor to his native land. And is this the way to maintain the honorbf the Sure and Stripes ? Is this charac teristic of the proud American Eagle? Who can hold up his head, after this, and talk about glory and national honor? But, as might have been known, Santa Anna has deluded the President, and is now the life and soul of the Mexican Army, laughing in his sleeve at the gullibility of the carpet warrior, whom he has so signally fooled. These are some of the shameful errors of this Presidential War, which have destroyed all confi dence in the skill and patriotism of him who began it for his own advantage, and who now finds himself utterly incompetent to the task of continuing it with credit to himself, or honor to the country. His friends have fallen from him. In the councils of the country, he stands almost alone. Shuddering at the storm he has raised, he looks around for his friends to rive him aid and comfort" He bows to the great Senator from South Carolina, but receives a cold shoulder, and is left to his own resources. He appeals to the Hercules from Missouri, who promises him aid, provided he will give up to him the entire management of the War, and promise not to interfere. Postrate as he is, he cannot quite do that, and " Old Bullion" turns on his heel, and bids him good-bye. The best we can hope is, that, inasmuch as he has been furnished with men and money all he asked that he will send them on 0 the com Detent command- ing Officers now in Mexico, and give up the man agement of the War to them. The Commander-in- Chief may then sleep in the White House, and the sounder his repose, the more will the country re joice. The old heroes now in the field will do their duty, if let alone. The victories already achieved, shew the mettle of which they are made, and augur a series of successes in future. And though we can not see any prospect of ending this fruitless con test, we shall have in its progress some glorious triumphs, which can be rehearsed every year, on the 4th of July, to us and our posterity, possibly until the War is ended. MR. POLK AND SANTA ANNA. The Washington Correspondent of the " Balti more Patriot" understands that Mr. Polk " fully and firmly believes that Santa Anna is working, ma nceuvering, and humbugging the Mexicans and the Mexican army, all for the advantage of the United States ! and with a view of getting into his posses sion the Three Millions which Mr. Polk proposes to hand over to his keeping ! They think he evacu ates, firnt Saltillo, then Tampico, and now Vera Cruz, all for the adrantage of the United States ! They think his demonstration towards Saltillo and Matamoras is a mere ruse to deceive and mislead the Mexicans, and is done solely for the benefit of the United States I They thiuk that a treaty of peace is as good as already made, and only lacks signing by the parties interested 1 Such- is their faith and belief in the precious hypocrite, Santa Anna." GEN. BUTLER AND THE WAR., Major General Butler arrived at Louisville on the. 9th instant. The "Louisville Journal" states that the gallant General thinks the American force too weak to advanceivSan Luis PotosL The castle of Vera Crux must first be reduced by Gen. Scott, a very difficult task, and by that time the term of Gen. Taylor's volunteers will be en the point of expiring, and thus Tatlot must be unable to march noon San Luis to co-operate with Scott. The read er must not suppose that, in evacuating Vera Crux, the Mexicans hare evacuated thecastle. A thousand men are sufficient to man that, and provisions might be left there to sustain them six month. XT' Hon, Rkveedt Johssos, in his great Speech on the Three Million Bill, uttered the following language while declaiming against our present un neoessarv war. It deserves, says the Louisville Journal, to be written in letters of gold : "Public virtue has fciven us great prosperity Let that virtue fail us weaken the moral sense of the nation -indulge an unbridled Inst of dominion and as sure as there is a God who rewards virtue and puniahes vice, the curs of his judgment will be upon us."

K7 Politicians are not likely to make much by speculating on Gen. Taylor for the Presidency. In conversing with a gentleman recently, who told him he had been named for that office, he replied "1 am sorry to see it. ; I have always thought, and still think, a civilian, and none other, should fill that office. I have no other ambition than to brine this war to an honorable close. I then go to my farm, and there in the bosom of my family, live and die. I am no politician. I have had no chance to vote for a number of years" Could he have voted at the last election, he says, he would have supported Henry Clat. He was opposed to the annexation of Texas. SUPPRESSING OF GAMING. The bill to suppress gambling in Pennsylvania, has been signed by the Governor, and is now a law. Gambling is declared a misdemeanor, and punishable by confinement in the Penitentiary. The officers of the law are authorised to enter houses forcibly when searching for gambling apparatus, by virtue of process to be issued on oath of any person before a Justice of the Peace. Heavy fines may be imposed in addition. One of the sections provides, that any person invting another to a gaming house may be held liable for all losses sustained by the victim, and be also liable to a fine of not more than five hundred or less than fifty dollars. FOR THE REOISTER Mr. Gales: I see that the Editor of the Standard has tried to be very funny, fwitty," I believe he calls it.) because you recently said a word in behalf of the little Birds that warble so sweetly on the tree top, and endeavored to dissuade naughty boys and unmusical men from disturbing and destroying them. I was quite at a loss to discover his objection to so humane an admonition, until to-day, in looking at 80me old u Patterns," I found on one of them, cut I out of a Standard, a paragraph, in which the Editor confesses that though he never "went a bird-nesting," yet he used to "hunt by moon-light and by torch lirht with the bo narro and the cross-bow." i: Al this," he says he "remembers, and a great deal more." When I read this, I thought I had found out why that little u Bird" article should have riled him so, 1 thought that, perhaps the bare mention of the ; shooting" one of these little feathered songsters had called up in his mind the murder of one of them with his ': bo narro" or " cross-bow," or some other thing of the "great deal more" which he remembers, had harrowed up his soul, and made him feel mean about it I send you this, as I do not suppose you keep file" of that paper, and will not, therefore, likely find a cue to his snarlishness. You said the other day, you didn't like Onls ; nor do Oivls like little Birds, except to kill and eat them. I hope they (the little Birds) will be spared this Spring. ; SUSAN. . FOR THE REGISTER.

Rational taolligencetl . 7 ' INSURRECTION AT TAOSL 4 -By the river, we have St Louis papers four days in advance of the mail, with accounts from Santa Fe, conveying important news. There has boerf an extensive insurrection of the Mexicans at Taoss- All the Spaniards who evinced any sympathy with the American cause, had been compelled to escape. Gov. Bent. Stephen Lee, Acting Sheriff- Gen El liot Lee, Henry Leal, and twenty other Americans, were killed, and their families despoiled ; the Chief Alcalde was also killed. This all took place on the 19th of January. Gov. Bent had eone up to Taos a few days before, to look after a farm which he owned in that vicinity. The insurrection had made formidable head, and the disaffection was rapidly spreading. The insur rectionists were sending expresses all over the coun try to obtain assistance. The number engaged in the outbreak at Taoe, was about six hundred. At its commencement, the Alcalde of Taos sent word down to the Alcalde of Vagus of their movements, and wished him to join them. He would not; but sent an express immediately to Santa Fe, advising tLem to be on tneir guard, as the mob, who were composed of the lowest rubble, and whose desire was plunder, were hurrying on to the rucbla Indian vil lages and settlements to arouse them, and march di rectly to Santa Fe and take possession of that place and all that was in it The Americans at Santa Fe had there only about four hundred effective men ; the rest were on the sick list or had left to join CoL Dohiphan. Such being their situation, they could not send succor out, as they were hardly able to defend themselves. It is therefore supposed that Santa Fe must be captured, as neither the fort nor block-houses are completed. It is aunouueed as the intention of the insurrec tionists ho captured Taos, to take possession of the Governmcut wagon-truius, which are carrying for ward our supplies, and thus cut off all communi cation. The representations made to Col. Doniphan that Chihuahua would beaneasv eonouest were evident. ly intended as a lure to entrap him, beget a spirit of security, and lead him far into the interior, where he might be easily cut off. It is the universal opinion in Santa Fe, that if Gen. Wool had gone direct to Chihuahua, there would have been no trouble in iSew Mexico. Col. Doniphan had possession of El Passo del Nor- te on the 2Sth of December. Letters had been re ceived from the Governor of Chihuahua, stating that Lren. Wool was within three days7 march of the cap ital. This too was doubtless another ruse to lure Col. Doniphan on in confidence, and cut him off from jfll chance of escape or of falling back npon Santa i e, to relieve it in its emergency. The Mexicans are bold in their tone and confident of capturing CoL Doniphan and his command, which consists of about six hundred men live hundred of them being of his own troops, (the first regiment of mounted Missouri volunteers,) and a detachment of one hundred men from Santa Fe, under command of Lieut Col. Mitchell, of the second regiment, con sisting of thirty men from Clark's battallion of light artillery, under command of Capt. Hudson and Lt. Kribben, and seventy from Col. Price's regiment and CoL Willock's battallion. They then assert that they will massacre every American in New Mexico, and confiscate all their goods. A letter from Lieut Abert, of the U. S. Topogra phical Engineers, of Liter date, confirms all the above intelligence. The details of the battle of Bracito are also confirmed. The massacre beyond doubt has been a terrible one, of which we have as yet heard but the beginning, and the insurrection has been kept so quiet until all was ready for the outbreak, that our haudfal of troops there must be overpower ed before any effort can be made to relieve them from the most advanced of our Western posts. THE BUNCOMBE RANGERS." Just as our Paper is going to Prcs?, we learn that Col. Fagg has succeeded in raising a complete Com pany in old Buncombe :as fine a body of young, athletic men, as ever trod the tented field." It has been fully officered, and has marched for Wilming ton via Raleigh. Particulars in our next. LATEST FltOOI THE AUTIY. The "Picayune" of the 14th inst. contains a vari ety of Letters and Rumors, brought by the Cide rella and Arispe, many of which are contradictory and nmfffititfiAtn.v Wo Mndanea fr.fm f V n li 'i rn .una ) what may be considered as ascertained, viz : The Mexicans have succeeded in entering the valley of the Rio Grande in large bodies, either by way of Victoria or some other pass, hitherto consid ered unavailable in a military point of view. Short ly after the armistice of Monterey was broken up, Gen. T aylor ordered Gens. Patterson and Quitman to take possession of and fortify Victoria. He marched thither himself, subsequently, leaving Gen Butler at Monterey, and Gen. Worth at Saltillo, with forces strong enough to guard these points. In a military sense, the possession of Victoria was as importaut, or nearly so, to the American army, as that of Saltillo, for through that town a practicable military road connected the valley of the Rio Grande with the sources of Mexican strength. Gen. Tay lor, seeing this, had Victoria invested and captured. The safety of his operations at Saltillo required it, inasmuch as the loss of Victoria would expose his flank and rear to the whole Mexican army. Gen eral Patterson, General Worth, General Quitman, with all their troops, were latterly ordered to join General Scott's movement against Vera Cms. This reduction of the army of the Rio Grande ren dered it necessary for Gen. Taylcr to concentrate his strength on one position and Victoria was con sequently abandoned. Santa Anna, perceiving the exposed situation of Gen. Taylor's flank and rear, pushed in large forces upon Victoria under Gen. Urrea. and thus turned the American flank. From this point detachments have been thrown upon the unprotected portions and the valley and at the last dates threatened tne whole length of the river. The communications between the army and the supplies at Camargo were completely broken up, and such was the danger of passage between these points that orders were received from Gen. Taylor that no de tachments under a full regiment were tabe sent for ward, as the road was impassable to a less force. Whilst these operations .are going on in Gen. Taylor's rear and flank, Santa Anna is known, in the second place, to have advanced more than half way from San Luis Potosl, with an amy of 21,000 men of all arms, and Gen. Minon has been hovering J near the American lines with a well-appointed troop of horse; between 2000 and 3000 strong. The pur port of the late news is, that Santa Annn has ac tually encountered Gen. Taylor, and that an actio which Listed two days has taken place, during the progress of which, Gen. Taylor succeeded in falling buck in good order, and with his baggage, upon the Rincouada, where be can make good bis position.- If this be true, the defence has been a gallant one, and is in effect a victory. Though there is not any information of these engagements of a character to defy doubt there is none upon which the news can be contradicted with confidence. We still think an engagement of some kind has occurred, the extent and results of which are yet to be ascertained. SORE THROAT, Coughs, Consumptions.
