.A rerir interesting discussion took place in the
United StaW&naV i tbf 3djinsi ..p.the new
ten Regiment BiU. ! Senator jJzrrEaaoa Danswho
was one of the gallant heroes of Buena Vista, made
an impassioned appeal to the Senate'to pass the' bill
-Without any delay J and in the course of his remarks
he declared in substance, that but for the tardy ac
tjon of Congress in Totiny rqen and supplies,, the
blood of our brave troops shed at B nena Vista,. Cer
ro Gordo, Churubusco, Contrerasj and Chapultepec,
might hare been saved 1 Here is a heavy charjfe,
made in a high Loco Foco quarter, against the Lo
co Foco raajority.in the laat'Congresal The Cor-,
respondent of the ' BalUrobre Patriot" asks now,
vrhat are the facts in the' natter ? Senator Davis
is in part right. . But let the whole truth be told,
and then let the responsibility in the matter rest
where it, belongs. Senator (Cmttejidkx. promptly
corrected the Mississippi Senator, so far as. the ac
tion of the Senate was concerned. He' showed that
the Senate had nnhesiutiugly voted foy every thipg
the Administration had" asked for, to enable it to
carry on the'war after its own fashion." Mr. Pavis
IhoMght the other branch of Congress" pursued a
more dilatory and reluctant, course, .
" , And now let tht true Jr to the i matter be fur
nished. Mr. McKav, the great radical Loco Foco
Chairman of the House Committee of Ways and
Means, throughout the last two Congresses, was fur
nished by the War, Department with the necessary
estimates for carrying on the War, in which esti
mates was a single item of ten millions of dollars,
placed there upon "the earnest recommendation of
Gen. Jcsscr, for the expedition of Gen. Scott's co
lumn of the Army to the .City of .Mexico. This
important item, which, if voted by Congress, would
hare provided every thing that Geik Sfcorr needed
te perfect his plans, waa struck out. by the prudent
and economical Mr. McKay, and not reported to
Congress at all ! It may be that he had the counte
nance of Mr. Polk and Mr. Marcy for doing this,
as those functionaries are ever studying how tocou
eealfrom, or misrepresent to, the. people, the real
sums which the war is costing them 1 ,

'.. GENERAL SCOTT AND WORTH.
The St. Lonis Republican has a letter from an of
ficer giving the causes of the disagreement between
Generals Scott and Worth, and also furnishes the
proceedings of the Court Martial demanded by Gen.
Worth. The first cause of complaint on the part of
Brevet Ma j. Gen. -Worth, against the General-in-
Chief, was the unqualified disapprobation by the
latter, of the terms of capitulation entered into by
the former, with the municipal authorities of the
City of Puebla, in his advance upon and occupation
pf that City, .... . . , - ,
The second cause of complaint on the part of G en.
Wprth against the General-in-Chie was the disap
probation of the latter, at a circular addressed by the
former in his division alone, at a period when thel
entire Xorce of tne army, incluamg the General-in-
Chief, was garrise'ned in the City of Puebla, with
the exception of the small, force left. at Jalapa under
Col. Childs." That circular purported to -convey
the information to the first division, of which Gen.
Worth was the commanding officer, that a design
was contemplated by the citizens of. Puebla to poi
son the fountains from whence ourarmy drew their
daily supply of water, and in that way destroy us;
j v .t-.i l . . .
ami piacing ucn vn mar guaru againw sucn innu
man and nefarioua'designs. if in reality (here was
any ground of apprehension whatever, (hat . such
threats had been ' made, or if made, whether there
waa the slightest possibility, of their being put in
execution. .'... . ,;. . . ...
.To the exceptions taken by the General-in-Chief
at these two omcial acts or U en. Worth, the latter
became greatly incensed, and permitting his feelings
to prevent his better judgment became -most vio
lently and bitteCy inimical to the General-in-chief.
The result was, what every reflecting officer in the
4 J A 4I.J . ' " .t
arm muk uecpiy rtrgrcueu, a rupture in l nose
fneudly relations .which for upwards of thirty years
had existed between these two gallant and distin
guished military chieftains.
: After an investigation of the above matters, the
Court made the following decision in the cose:
That the terms of stipulation granted by Brevet
MajorGeneral Worth to the functionaries of the
City of Puebla, upon his entrance with the advanced
corps of the ' army into, that City, on the 15th of
WMay last, were unnecessarily yielded, improvident,
And jthat the grant or these privileges was in con
travention of the ninth and tenth paragraphs of
General Orders No. 20, published at Tampico on
10th day of February last, and was not warranted
by the letter of instructions of the General-in-Chief
to Gen. Worth.
The Court; as required, further declares its opin
ion that the "circulars' published by Brevet Major
Gen. Worth to his Division, dated Puebla, June 16,
1847, was highly improper aud extremely objection-
I ably in many respects, especially as it might tend,
by exasperating tne wbole Mexican nation, to thwart
the well known pacificpoliey ofljhe United States,
and in view of the high source from which it ema
nated to disturb the friendly relations of our Gov
ernment with Spain, or, at least, give occasion to
that power to ceil, for, explanations or apologies.
The barbarous offence against which the circular
warned the soldiers of the First Division, if it exis
ted at all, equally affected the whole army. The
information obtained by General Worth if worthy
of notice, should therefore have been communicated
to the General-in-Chief, .that he might have exer
ercised his discretion on the means to be adopted for
correcting the eviL
With these views of the Circular alluded to, the
Court is of opinion that it railed for the emphatic
admonition and rebuke of the General-in-Chief.
In conclusion, this Court deems it material to the
case to express the opinion that it is the right and
the duty of the General-in-Chief and indispensable
to the preservation of proper discipline in the army
that he should at all times possess the privilege of
freely commenting upon, disapproving, or censuring
the official acta of his subordinate officers- ,
II. The General-in-Chief approves the proceed
ings and opinions in th foregoing case. " v - -

Commanders of divisions and brigades, and ? the
Chiefs of the general staff.

The Senate then resumed the consideration of
the ten regiment bill, as 'unfinished business.
Mr Cass opened the debate in a labored speech
in favor of the bill, and urged the exclusion of
political jtopics from the djscussion. Whatever
diversity tmght exist in reference to the origin
and the object of the war, he thought the glory to
be acquired by il was a common platform upon
which men of all parties might stand.

Mexico to pay in the ordinary way the just debts
due by her to our citizens.

Id the Senate, on Tuesday, Jan. 4, Mr. Cal
houn Resolutions being the order of the day,
there was a great crowd to hear the speech ex
pected from-him in opposition to the war.
Mr. Calhoun said he had last session opposed
the war, not only because he believed it was un
necessary and .might have been easily, avoided,
but from high considerations of reason and policy
For he believed it would lead to the most ser
rious evils. To avoid these evils as far as possi
ble, he had proposed the policy of adopting a de
fensive Jme. tie had the same object in view
now, in his resolutions. No personal or party
considerations influenced hiin. It was not his ob
ject either to sustain the administration or to
strengthen the opposition.
Mr. C. proceeded earnestly to defend the line
of policy. lie believed that we were in a better
position, when he suggested that policy, than we
are now, or ever will be again. In regard to in
demnity, we then held ample territory lor indem-.
.ity ; and the live and money since expended
would have sufficed to maintain a defensive line.
He next proceeded to argue that the policy re
commended by the administration would end . in
the annihilation of Mexico as a nation, and lead
to most disastrous consequences to our own coun
trv.
Mr. CalbouVs resolutions were postponed for
the present without farther discussion.
The Senate then went into Executive session.
and afterwards adjourned. -The
House of Representatives took up Mr.
Goggia's resolution, calling for the instructions
given by the President relative to Santa Anna's

Mr. McLane offered a'n amendment to it, and

ilar call had been made and answered at the last
session. 1
Mr. Adams replied briefly. He said he calls
were different. " ''
Mr. Ashmutr spoke ably in support of the res

GEN: TAYLOR IN ALABAMA.
Tho "Mobile Heraldl' says: "The Great Tay
lor State Convention in Alabama, will be held at
Montgomery on the 8th of January. . From what
we hear it is to be a great occasion and will bring
prominently before the People Gen.TATLoa for the
Presidency. I
"Notwithstanding the later glories of the war
which every body predicted would eclipse the earlier
battles, Gen. TAYLoa has lost none pf his personal
popularity. iThe enthusiasm which in the begin
ning of the war swept over the country, has settled
down into a sincere respect and admiration for the
old hero of Bnena VistaJ .
STATE CONVENTION. ;
The Central Whig Committee have not yet,
as we see, named a day for the State Convention,
for the nomination of Governor ' It seems now
to be the general opinion, that a later time than
the present month will be most advisable-. We
see the 22d of Febuary suggested by one of our
Whg cotemporarieflas a proper and appropriate
day. . . . i -
We are of opinion that a day even later than
that, say some time next spring, wiHbe prefer
able. ' The particular time however is of secon
dary consideration. But that a Convention
should be held, and one 60 constituted as to reflect
the people's will fairly, for a candidate for this re
sponsible station, is beyond all question. This
is more and -more apparent from the number of
gentlemen who continue to be spoken of for the
office. One fact however we notice, which is
honorable to he party in the Old North State,
and that is, ;that although the claims and qual
ifications of different gentlemen, arc discussed
through the press with earnestness, yet not a
syllable that can be corifetrucd as an attempt at
detraction from the claims or merits of others
named, has fallen under our observation.
This is as it should be, and we trust the same
spirit will continue to. prevail. For ourselves,
we scorrsa dictatorial spirit in matters of this sort,
intending neither to display it ourselves, nor sub
mit to it in others ; and from principle as well as
policy, looking to the harmony of the party, we
make it a point to abstain from any expression of
preference for any orOndividual, until the action
of a Convention shall place some one as a candi
date prominently before the people.
By that decision we shall abide, and oh whom
soever, the choice shall fall, so be is a 6ound
Whig, (and we have no fears fir the nomination
of any other) shall support him zealously, and
with whatever ability we possess. N?u Bernian.

a refined and cultivated trtste decorated a disposition
amiable, and manners naturally fascinating.: The
mild glow of charity Was diffused through all her;
life, and peace and cheerfulness attended her foot
steps. Free from all gossip and slander, her con
versation was always agreeable, for she spoke with
out wishing tOideceive, and listened without inten
ding to betray. Her various duties through life
were performed with alacrity, and conscious of the
fact that her Maker approved the uprightness of
her conduct, and the sincerity of her intentions, she
died without a sigh or a groan, althongh she left a
