. T0 THE PUBLIC.
jThf Proprietor of Ihc pommncial has to
announce that Mr. William S thinger has
withdrawn from the situation of Associate
Editor, and th&J his connection with the es
tablishment cease wiffi the present number.
It is needless to say timt we teel that we
ImvC sustained a loss in fegard to the power
f tho management or tho concern. Mr.
Strincsh's valuable services in the Commcr
tial Department, and details of the market,
tire well known and appreciated by the pub-lic-and
it cannot he otherwise than that gome
derangement will arise in the departments he
superintended, for a season. But the Editor
hopes to put all things in a proper train, in a
short time, and wdl take care that the Com
mercial loses nothing of its interest in any of
its subject. The long experience of the Ed
itor and Proprietor, in every department per
taining to a newspaper, cominerciul or other
wfgemay e qcourage our friends With the hope
that no disappointment will be ultimately felt
iiider the new arrangement but that the
Commercial will still increase in its patronage
and continue to be an object of public favor.

VINDICATION OF THE TRUTR.
By tbefsjllowing letter which we copy from the Sa

their aid in vindication of the truth, relative to the
charge lately circulated to the prejudice of the Boats

We find thin to be the casein other quarters, and that
the oldmoll.) is sustained in our behalf: "Great is
truth and will pa vail."
Chhsleton, (S. C ) April 19, 1847.
Gentlemen : I reached Charleston this morning,
after a rapid journey from the North, and now find
myself amid the warmth and deep foliage of "glori
ous summer." A delightful change It la from the cool
temperature and brown woods of your present tardy
spiing. As far south as Richmond and Petersburg
ths sonic wintry look hangs about the woods, while
through North Carolina the young oak leaves are ven
turing out, and the yellow jasmine, the brilliant honey
suckle, the magnoliu gU uca, and their friendt of other
families, are in fuli beauty. Htrt strawberries, green
peas, and new potatoes maik the advance of the sea
son quits A Intelligibly as do the floral indications
further fjorth. And, by the way, let me say that the
multitude of splendid oaks about tha capltol and
squares in Raleigh were beginning to be covered with
verdure a week ago, when I pasasd through there,
lending their beauty to that most besutllul of South
ern towns. So much for the season. Now, let me
any a few words obout the mails, the steamboats, and
the railroads.
Vom arc probably aware of the great irregulariiles
of thegrvat mail from New York to New Orleans
that it sills ts reach New Orleans rcgulurlyour timet
a wetk, or on an average at thnt rule per month du
ring the winter, and particularly of late. And you
probably know that the Wilmington steamboats are
obliged to shoulder the t mire blame of this Immense
evil. Indeed, no fixed has the whole country become
in the belitf that thia Wilaiingtou and Raleigh Rail
Road Compnn) and its bouts are the cause of this in
calculably great source of injury to Southern com
merce, that no language Is deemed too severe to be ap-
plied to them, and the travelling community are led to
beliers that their lives sre scarcely worth insuring
when they venture to ses upon their delinquent and
dangerous steamers. It Is a most difficult tark to
icm such a current of public opinion, particularly
when some of our best ntwspapert sre in the same
error, and lend their influence to lis perpltuliy. Still
I will make the attempt, knowing well that you will
notdoajrurselves the opportunity of rendering jus
tice, according to your usual wont, to those who are
unjustly estailid.
1 have no interest In uW boats, or the Wilmington
od WeJdsn Rail Road and Stemiubosl Company, or
in any other railroad or steamers, nor am I employed
in anf way to say or write in their behalf ; but, having
inyaelTlong lived in the belief that they were responsi
ble for tie mad failures so vexiliously frequent In New
Orleans, and having, from a somewhat thorough In
vestigation, after pasting thtee times over the line
wirhla the past three months, Income persuaded that
the (Yjjisnot property chargeable to this part of the
line, lassies) to render toy feeble aid loenllghtes the
public in tha nutter.
The Wiltnlssjton and Raleigh Steamboat and Rail
road Company sre required bjr ths Post Office De
partment's schedule to deliver the mail at Charleston
M half rt lt-(ncon,) while the Charleston and Au
gusts railroad cars leave here at 9 A. M. Vet the
steamscs have eontiivd to deliver their malls before
o'clock- three sad a half hours before they are due
wllh angularity that, considering the length of the
fMitesnd ths nature f the navigation, reflects great
credit on jsc energy and public spirit of the company
sod khs Captains, and proves tbil their boats are
most seaworthy Ind speedy. Before the I9ih March
last th scheduls time for ths arrival of their boats at
Chariest wss P. II., while ths ears left at 9 A. M i
ysl lbs aualners biles' but four times to connect from

Pa ihe 19ih of March lbs mmi) trrsoisai
toafea&wt, nSs steamers being tins furs it hah past
12 o'clock. Between that tlmssnd this, vis. thirty
two days, ths steamers failed to rnske their schedule
but totes, snd, though ths car continued until to-day
to leavs st i A. M, ths steamers arrived tventy-thm
times la aeeaoa t forward ths molls by ths cars i that
Is, three and s half hours before they were due.
Therefore the commercial public South hsvs been In
debted that number of times, within that period, ex
clusively to the Wilmington snd Raleigh Railroad
Company snd their steamboata for the reception of
the mails ntar tteenty-four hourt in advance I During
(he seme lime (thirty-two days) the cars came
through from Weldon to Wilmington In time to con
nect with the steamers thirty-one times, foiling once
In consequence of s derangement of ths machinery
of ths locomoilvs. Tho South Carolina Railroad
Company advertise to day toiesve at, i 1 A. M. By ths
published schedule of the Postmaster General the
hour of arrival of the Wilmington stesmers and de
parture of ths South Carolina company's csrs was
fixed at 1 P. M. after the hours' difference between
this and the actual starting of the cars from Charles
ton, and this must bo gratuitously overcome by the
steamers, or they must ensure a failure of the mall In
all the towna and cities beyond this city. If failures
take place tho public must look to the Postmaster
General for their remedy. If arrivals here of the
mall before 11 o'clock take place, they must give cre
dit to the Wilmington steamers and railroads for their
zeal to promote the Interests of the Community.
And It la their, due already for their performances dur
ing tho past month. Of these steamers, the Gladia
tor, the Gov. Dudley, and Vsnderbilt, I wish to soy
that they are large, strong, fast, snd well-ordered boats,
commanded by captains of skill and courage, and
most kind snd stteniive to their passengers. Their
performances amid some of the wildest storms that
ever awept the ooean, during the past season, attest
the truth of this assertion. But, lest you suppose
that I cannot sea any faulta, even when they exist, I
will sny that the cook't department In one of them
might be Improved without giving any body the gout
or dyspepsia a fault which I have no doubt v. ill be
remedied when those concerned sec (his letter, which
let me say, I hope you will send them as tho friendly
admonition of a stranger. Of the perseverance of
the President of the Wilmington Railroad and Steam
boat Company too much cannot be said, and the only
fault to be found with him and his company is, that
they have allowed themselves to be misrepresented
and slandered so long without resistance, but when
ever complaints have been made have at once gone to
work to make some new addition to the strength and
meana of comfort of their boats. Not a life haa ever
been lost on this line out of the Immense number of
passengers transported on It. Yours, fcc. L

T. LoaiNO, Esq.: Dear Sir As much has been
aid, North snd South, respecting the irregularity of
ihe Great Northern snd Southern Mail passing
through nur line, and the failures attributed to tis, I
herewiih send you the iciurns ot April, 1847, which
will show whether we are liable to the censure and
blame cast upon us. We sre willing to take cen
sure when deserved, bin, when we feel perfectly
cod sc loin of straining every nerve to carry out our
contract with the Post Office Department in good
faith, and suattd, we feel as if we ought, in justice
lo ourselves, wake up a little and state the facts,
which are:
By contract, we are bound to deliver the mail
from Weldon, in Chnrleston, at 12J o'clock, A. A!.,
and in Weldon, from Charleston, at II J P. Al.
The Boats arrived in Charleston 28 days before
9 A. M. 31 koitri btfirrt schedule time ! one day at
9 45, and one day at 1137A.M., from which you
will see we did noi fail during the whole month of
April, to deliver ihe mnil within contract lime wiih
the mail going South.
The Cars (ailed but once in arriving at Weldon
wish the mail going North, and that was owing to
the Boat failing to arrive here in time to connect,
being detained at sea by a heavy gale of wind from
iheN. E.
The boat which left here on ihe Uih April, wait
ed until 435 P M , for the train, which n. it arriv
ing at lhai time, she left without the mail. The
train was deiainrd by breaking as axle on the road
and running oil' ihe track.
Please publish ihe foregoing facts in ihe Commer
cial, snd I hope ihosc who have given currency to
the many charges against us will do us the justice
to copy we ask noihing more. Yours, c,

"We received yesisrday, by the steamship Tele
graph, the Alaiamorus Flag of the 18th Inst, and
ihe Monterey Pioneer of the l2ib. We give from
ihem such extracts as we deem of Interest to our
readers. Gen. Taylor is still at the Walnut
Springs. He does not contemplate leaving there
for sometime not until he is fully reinforced to
cross the country, atlack, and, with the certainly of
ksuccess, takes San Luis Potosl. We should not
be surprised to hearof the forces under Gen. Scott
reveling in the "Halls of the Montexunias" with
out the co-operation of Gen. Taylor.
From Ihe Monterey Pioneer, ol the l2ih, we
learn that a fire broke out there on the !)ih inst. in
the market-house of the city. The wood work of
ihe building was consumed. The fire communi
caied to the Mexican prison, which was also con
siderably injured. A number of concealed arms
were discovered, consisiing of muskets, hand gre
nades, fuses, rockeis, &c.
A rumor was current at Monterey that. Gen.
Urrca has reiurned to thai ncighboih od, wiih four
pieces of an illery, and was then somewhere be
tween Camargo and Marin. We believe there
was no foundation in (act for ihe rumor,
The rank and file of ihe Is: Ohio Regiment have
taken measures to present Alaj. L. Giddings with
a sword, to cost 8500, as a token of iheir respect
and thanks.
The 2d Regiment of Aliksissippi Volunteers
have arrived at Aloniercy. They are all armed
wiih rifles
Robert While, ofCapt. Bullen's company, Louis
ville Le giun, lost his hand by ibe explosion of one
of the tockeis, found during the fire at Monterey
on the morning of Ihe 9th inst.
The editor of the Alaiamoros Flag has recently
paid a flying or rather a sieamboat visit to Camar
go. Speaking of it he says :
A happier looking people than the Mexicans on
the Rio Grande we never saw, and many of them
are becoming enriched by supplyingthe s'eamboats
wiih wood, which is easily obtained, and for which
they received 82 50 per cord.
Camargo we found all life and bustle apparent
ly more business doing there than here, and mer
chants looking wiih confidence to a brighter pros
r eel ahead. Considerable stocks ot merchants'
goods were being bent forward to Monterey, Saliillo
and towns along the line protected by our troops,
and the trade between our merchants and the Mex
icans bieU fairio open again niih new life and
acnvjiy.
In our paper ol Saturday morning we alluded lo
the following assassination. The Matamoras Flair,
from which we copy, gives more fully ihe particu
lars. It snvs :
A private in one of the companies of lhe 2d Mis-
9issippi Regiment, named Carson, formerly a mem-
berthe Mississippi Legislature, who had lagged
behind Ihe regiment on the march up, between
Camargo and Mier, was waylaid by two Mexicans man 01 ln,s Cllv corroborates our previous impres
and inhumanly butchered. His mutilated body ,'on,' lnat Wlstar's Balsam was none of these
was discovered in lhe' chaparral a few feet from ! nos,rums-
he road, hv Cant. Jack Everrilt and Mr. John
Hays, who were journeyine up to Mier-lhe warm
blood was yet trickling from him, which induced ;
ihem to think his assassins were still near, and Ihey I
commenced a search in the thicket and came in
sight of the two Mexicans, not more than two hun-
dred yards from where the murdered man laj.
Chase was given, and they were soon ovenaken,
and their guilt sufficiently proved by their blood- i
stained hands and garments, and the property ofihe ,
murdered man found upon their persons. The
first impulse was to kill them upon ihe snot but re-'
flecfion induced ib !ir being taken forward and turn-
ed over to Col. Davis, who, with his regiment, was ,
not many miles in advance. '
The assassins, we learn were shut.
8HAMEFUL.
Persons recently arrrived from Monterey inform
us that, in coming down, ihey beheld sirewn along
the roadsh'.e, mhere had been massacred the team
sters who fell into lhe hands ol Urrea's assassins
la the attack on wagon train, the decayed and mu-
'ilated remains of upwards of fifiyofihese unfortu
natemen. Where ihey fell, there still they art?
sufferred lo remain their flesh made the food of
vultures and wolves, snd their bones scattered
about by these beasts and birds of prey. Train
afier train has passed ihem by, with no more
aotice than a passing commentary upon their sad
fate-none have stepped forth to give ihem barlai.
Humanity sickens at man's indifference to man.
It wss rumored at Matamoras that the Massa
chusetts Voluniecrrs were about to be relieved by
the 2d Ohio Regiment, and thai lhe former would
start for Monterey in two weeks.
Henry Aldri-b was arrested at Palo Alio on lhe
17th Inst., by order of Col Cushing, charged with
having murderously assaulted a Mexican named
Serbantcs. He was taken to ih guard-house,
where he awaits bis trial. Seidames is in ihe
Hospital.
FIENDISH MURDER.
Father Ray, says the Flag, so long and fsvorably
known as sChaplain in the army, was recently
killed by a party ot Lancers on the road between

on the 29th ulu sdvlces from Liverpool 2 days later
thsri before received csme to hand' - 4
, The news msy generally be regarded, as favorable
to trade. Cotton and Corn were In demand at im
proving prices.
A fire broke out In London on the morning of tho
6th Of last month, at the Kent and Sussex Wharf,
south sldcof London Bridge. The range of buildings
occupied by Aldermen Humphreys, Messrs. Gold &
Co. wholesale grocers, and Messrs. Malm & Skinner,
cider merchants, was nearly destroyed, and the adjoin
ing property, the Hibernla Wharf, was considera
bly injured, and Mann's wharf slightly. The fire
broke oat at 3 A. M. and was thoroughly extinguished
before 1 1 .
We notice, en possant, (hot the Liverpool Mercury
notices, under the head of "disgraceful persecution,"
that Frederick Douglass, the fugitive slave, waa de
nied ths privilege of a gentleman In his passage home
In the Cambria. Ho was compelled to take his meals
and not allowed to mix with the saloon passengers.
This was right. No white man, who goes about the
country Imposing falsehoods upon the credulous as
Douglas does, ought to be treated a. a " gentleman,'1
much less this baso impoater.
The Cork Conititution says, "hundreds of comfor
table looking farmers, of young women and men all
decently clad, continue to arrive daily, with the view
of emigrating to America.
The some paper gives a dismal account of the de
vastations committed by fever, the victims to the con
tagion filling the graveyarda to overflowing.
The Paris Monilcur says tho price of flour and grain
continues to decrease in that city.
In relation to the Corn Market, a Liverpool papor
of the 5th says : " The reported arrivuls of Grain and
Flour glace Tuesday last are very moderate, but the
wind now being favorable, we may expect mo9t ves
sels in that ore close at hand. The late reduction
in our prices has attracted buyers from various quar
ter., and rather an extensive business haa been dono
in Wheat and Flour.
" llesldes a good demand for shipment couslwise)
the inlerior millers have taken largely of barrelled
Flour at 37s 6d to 38s per 196 lbs. for Weeicrn Canal,
which is nn improv :rnent of la per bbl. within the
week. Wheat hns also moved more freely, but with
out amendment in price ; indeed, for both Wheat and
Kour, holders have liberally met the demand.
"Several Irish orders and buyers of Indian Corn
having appeared, there has been a reaclion on Tues
day's quotations of 3s to 5s per quarter; good Ameri
can Corn is now firmly held at 52s per 480 lbs. In
the oilier articles of the trade very little has been trans
acted, and Outs, Uarley, Beans and Peas remuin with
out alteration."
Of the Cotton Market the same paper, of April 3
says .- The import of the week is 2G.56C bags, namely,
24,402 from the United States, 320 from Brazil, and
1784 from Bombay. The sales of the week are 30,500
bags, of which there are taken on speculation 8400
Amorican,500 Kgyptiun, and 700 Surat ; and for ex
port 2500 American, 100 Pernambuco, iO Egyptian
and 4G0 Sural. The prices of Sea Island are advanc
ed d per lb. and of Egyptian J J per lb; those of In
ferior and middling quality of American Cotton arc
advanced d per lb.''
On the Sth the report la a. follows: The sales since
Kridny amount to 7000 bogs, of which 3500 arc sold
to-day. The market Is steady at the rates of last
week. Arrived, since Friday, six vessels from the
United States, two from Brazil, and one from Bom"
