amendments. The amendment cutting
down the rations of the army officers was
strenously opposed by Mr. Benton, and
rejected and the Senate uent into Execu-
tiee session.
The House went to work in good ear-
nest in Committee of the Whole, on the
Naval Appropriation Bill.
“The original bill as it came from the

Sizmi-ANNUAL BILLS.--Bills for the current
half-year of the Gazette will be presented to
our village and south village subscribers during
the present and ensuing week, and as we are in
thohabit of making the presentation each week
successively until paid, unless otherwise instruct-
ed, it will prevent repeated and annoying calls,
which are somewhat disagreeable to us as well
as our subscribers, if they will meet them at as
early a day as convenient. The six months
for which these bills are made out, closes with
the month of June.
New York and Boston R. Roacl.——The pro-
ject of obtaining a charter from the Legislature
of this State for the continuance of the line of
the New York and New Haven Rail Road from
the city of New Haven, east, through Middle-
town, bridging the Connecticut, to the eastern
line of the State, which has been considered the
most important subject of the session, after a
deal of opposition, reached its final passage in
the House on Saturday morning last. The vote
stood 116 in favor to 80 against. The opposi-
tion was chiefly from Hartford, and those inter-
ested in the free navigation of the Connecticut
river. The opposition maintained that a bridge
at Middletown, though provided with a wide
draw, would be a serious impediment to the na-
vigation of the river, and consequently affect the
right of those engaged in the commerce of the
river. Log rolling and lobbying has been a
very prominent business of the session, and the
members are represented to have suffered some
in the loss of coat buttons.
The impression is that the bill will meet with
an equally favorable reception in the Senate.
Tm-: LEGisLA'rUaE has not yet brought its
labors toa terminus. The prospect, however,
Is, that an adjournment will take place during
the possessions of that Company south of 49 t
remain unless purchased by the U. S. The
54 40 men thus find that there is nothing left
to stand upon, and in their impotent rage, heap
a great many harmless imprecations upon the
man who has lead them upon ground which he
now finds it convenent to recede from, and leaves
them too reap a harvest of dishonor and disap-
pointment, and who recreaiitly places the Sen-
ate, in this extremity, between liimselfand the
frowns of an indignant people.
l’-.?"§'\Ve cannot give to our readers the va-
riety which some of them would probably like,
until after the adjournment of the Legislature,
and the publication of the laws.
THE FOURTH.
\Ve are requested to say that a meeting ofall
those in favor ofduly observing the approaching
national anniversary, will be held at the Con-
necticut Hotel on the evening of Thursday, at

cinity, is that of George A. Davenport, Esq._of
\Vilton, to the office of Judge of Probate forthis
district.
In the District of l'Vc.s't}2ort, Judge Swift,
the present incumbent has been reappointed.
He is the only \Vhig Judge that we know of

Correspondence of the Gazette.
New YORK, June 12, 1846.
DEAR Sm :—The lovers of fun, scandal, and
personalities have had a rich treat this week in
listening to the evidence in C01. \Vebb’s libel suit
against Doctor Bacon. You may wonder what
the libellous matter was which prompted the
Col. to go before a Court of Justice and demand
damages for injury done to his character? The
story runs somewhat thus. It seems that both
the Doctor and the Col. (then being jointly en-
gaged in writing for the Courier) vied with each
other in their abuse of Mr. \Vebster whilst he
was Secretary of State; but suddenly, without
giving a single note of warning to his CO-li1l30l'el.'
in the work of detraction, the Col. wheeled to
the right about in true military style, and became
one of Mr. \Vebster’s strongest supporters.—-
This sudden conversion the Doctor attributes to
bribery. He says in so many words, that Col.
\Vebb was bought up by Mr. \Vebster’s friends,
and hence this suit. Doctor Baconjustifies, and
furthermore insists that VVebb is entitled to
merely nominal damages, because he has not
been injured in character—-that his character
has been for years so notoriously bad that no libel
could lower it in the estimation of the communi'
ty. The whole fight has therefore turned upon
the question of character. Hale of the Journal,
and Bryant of the Post, testified that the Col-’s.
character was bad—-that is, in this community.
Some of the witnesses seemed to doubt whether
he had any, good or bad.‘ Among others Mr.
Greely was called and was unable to state what
Col. \Vebb’s general character was. Your
brother Greely looked quite respectable. H 0
had shed the old white over coat, and appeared
in a suit of blue. I have sometimes thought that
green would be the most becoming to his looks.
I will not speak positively—-but I think Greely
had succeeded in getting the legs of his pantaloons
over the tops of his boots that morning——a cir-
cumstance so unusual that it is worthy of being
the present week, perhaps as early as \Vednes-
day. making asix weeks session. The subjectsl
which the Governor in his message brought be-
fore the Legislature, and which it was thought .
the interests of the party demanded should be,
attended to, have each received their due share
of consideration,and will soon occupy places upon
the statute book, where they will stand out, some
ofthem at l_east,in bold relief, as the mementocs of
democratic legislation, alike to the ridicule of
their authors, and the humility of those who
have the honor and dignity of the State at heart.
Such, however is democracy. VVere it less reck-
less, less empty, less blustering and imbued with
less demagoguism, it would be out of character,
65 its identity would be lost—human nature would
lose some of its phases—be shorn of its variety,
and its whole aspect, which derives beauty and
interest from contrastand comparison, would be
seriously marred, and the racy and the ridic-
lous would be swallowed up in the ruin that
would result.
State Bank _Directors.—William K. James,
Fairfield County Bank; James Taylor, Dunba-
ry Bank ; Orlando B. Hall, Bridgeport Bank;
David Perry, Connecticut Bank.
The bill for the Iron Bank, at Canaan, which
had passed the house, was defeated in in the
Senate, on Saturday morning last. That body
voted to continuevit to the next session of the
Legislature.
THE NORTH WEST BOUNDARY.
We have the gratifying intelligence from
\Vashington, that highly important steps have
been taken in the way of bringing the Oregon
difiiculty to an amicable settlement. VVe allu.
ded last week to the minor that Mr. Pakenham
had received another proposition from his gov-
ernment—its ultimatum. This information is
now confirmed, and the terms of the proposition
were laid before the Senate in secret session on
Thursday last for an expression of opinion, as
an advisory measure. After deliberate conside-
ration, avote was taken on Friday afternoon,
affording a most decided expression of the Sen-
ate in favor of accepting the proposal. The
vote’ was 38 to 12, absent 4, refused to vote 1'.
Thus we are warranted in the conclusion,
that the peace of the nation will not be dis-
turbed, and the ends of equity andjustice will
be eminently subserved.
The exact terms of the pfoposed treaty are
not made public. It is however, so far under-
stood, thatptheg parallel of 49 is the basis. Van
Couver‘s Island to become the property of Gt.
Britain, and the free navigation of the Columbia,
chronicled. Col. \Vebb was on hand of course
and looked very fierce, as well he might, during
the opening speech of Hon. Joseph L. \Vhite
who appeared forBacon. \Vell we shall soon
know what Col. \Vebb’s character is worth in
the estimation of a New York jury.
The rumors from \Vashington in relation to
} the Oregon question are received with high sat-
isfaction. . The offers made by Great Britain
are such as to ensure a speedy settlement of the
dispute. This is another \Vhig triumph over
Locofoco demagoguisin. \Vhat now becomes of
that resolution of the Baltimore Convention, as-
serting our clear and indisputable right to the
whole of the Oregon Territory’! \Vas there ever
before. a party which professed so much and ac-
complished so little? Not a single Locofoco
measure has been carried into effect except the
annexation of Texas, and let them have all the
glory of that most abominable act. They may
take delight in the tears of widows and orphans
-——the groans of the wounded and dying, and in
human butchery. If they do, their cup of joy
promises to be full even to the overflowing. But
let us be thankful that the firmness of the Whigs
in the Senate, has saved us from the horrors of
a war with Great Britain.
I fear that the correspondence between Gen.
Scott and the Secretary of \Var will add little
to the General’s reputation. Doubtless he had
bitter enemies in VVashington——enemies who
were determined at all hazards to work his ruins
yet it was his duty to march to the scene of war
regardless of all personal considerations. The
fires of the enemy in his rear could not injure
him, and a well directed fire upon the enemy in
front would have given him a position which no
man has occupied since the days of \Vashington.
The fact is, the Gen. fights better with the sword
than with the pen. He is a better soldier than
diplomatist. He should not have suffered him-
self to be drawn into a paper controversy with
the Executive, but ought to have proceeded at
once to Mexico and extricated the country from
the difiiculties into which it had been plunged
by Locofoco mismanagement. That would
have gained for him enduring reputation. But
our interests will not suffer from that quarter so
long as that sterling Kentucky Whig, Gen. Tay-
lor, has command of the American forces.
The rumsellers of Brooklyn had a meeting
last week at which they resolved to make com-
mon cause against the “no license” law, and
contributed funds to resist the execution of the
law. It is understood that they have employed
George Wood and James R. Whiting as coun-
sels. They will soon have on opportunity of
spending a little money in carrying their praise
wo y resolution into effect. . Several of their

perance men to visit the full penalty of the law
upon every transgressor.- I see that your De-
mocratic Legislature are afraid to trust the peo-
ple with the right of deciding whether intoxica-
ting drinks shall be sold or not. That is Connec-
ticut Democracy, but New York Democracy
seems to be made of different stuff. Our “no
license" law was passed by a Locofoco Legisla-
ture ! \Vhat is Democracy 'l
The Sons of Temperance had a grand cele-
bration here on Tuesday. I was not so fortu-
nate as to get a look at the procession, butI am
informed by those who did see it, that it surpas-
sed anything of the kind that they had ever be-
fore witnessed. The music, banners, and the
dress of seine of the societies attracted particular
attention. If we ever do succeed in conquering
King Alcohol, the victory will be worthy of al]
commemoratioii. The day of its anniversary
might well “be ushered in by the ringing of bells,
bonfires and illuininations.”
The Convention at Albany has been distribu-
ting subjects for future consideration, and has
done little else thus far. I should judge from
the different subjects referred to Committees,
that mostradical changes will be made in the
Constitution. Here let me correct an error
which crept into my last letter. I was made to
say that Judge Nelson was new Chief Justice of
the U. S. Supreme Court. I meant to say that
ho had been Associate 6.: Chief Justices of the
Supreme Court of this state and was now one of
the Associate Justices of the U. S. Supreme
Court. It is an error of fact or I would not have
noticed it.
The worms are making sad havoc with the
trees in Brooklyn. Indeed it is dangerous for
most of the people there to walk out, for these
worms attack every thing green. But seriously
the trees are almost stripped of their leaves-—
and yet the citizens have done nothing to pro‘
tect them from future ravages. I think :1 Com‘
inittee had better be sent down from New Ha-
ven to superintend the matter, and save what
little of beauty there remains from these “fell
destroyers.” YANKEE.
The Senate have by a large vote refused to
accede to the House amendment to the “Sup-
plemental \Var Bill” to reduce the number of
officers in the army at the conclusion of the \Var
without reference to day of commission. This
defeats one scheme of the Party against old and
faithful public servants.
N1-zw Hitiiirsiiiai-:—Goi:. Colby’s .Message.—-
The \Vhig Governor Colby recommends the
Districting of the State for members of Congress,
the reception of the State’s share of the Land
Distribution; adherence to the Protective Poli-
cy; more liberal legialation respecting Rail-
roads, and the repeal of the Individual Liability
exaction on Banks, &c.; renewed attention to
Common Schools, the Militia, and obedience to
the orders of the General Government relative
to the \Var.
Hon. John P. Hale has been Elected U. S.
Senator for the full term of 6 years from the 4th
of March next.
Reduction of Fare.~—Our steamers have re-
duced the price of passage to and from New
York, to 50 cts. This strikes us as a very pol-
itic move, and well calculated to increase the
amount of travel on the route, increase the re-
ceipts of the Company, and prove a decided ad-
vantage to this place.
CONNECTICUT EPISCOPAL CONVEN'I‘ION.—-
This body commcnced its session in the city of
New Haven on Tuesday the 9th inst. The An-
nual Sermon was preached in the morning by
Rev. Dr. Jarvis. Prayers were read by Rev.
Dr. Mead, the Lessons by Rev. Mr. Burgiss,
the Epistle and Gospel by Rev. Dr. Croswell,
and the Ante-Communioii service by the Bishop.
E?‘ Governor Toucey has issued a proclama-
tion for the enrolment of volunteers, for. five
companies of Infantry, for the Mexican ‘Var.
The Adjutant General, James T. Pratt, has is-
sued an order specifying the enrolment, organi-
zation, time of service, &c.
For the Gazette.
Mn. EDITOR :—-Crows are waxing too nu-
merous in “these diggins” for the advantage of
our corn crops. Many promising fields, being
somewhat in the rear, have been shamefully
plundered the last Spring, by these unmerciful
birds, blasting all hopes of harvesting the like of
a fair crop. I myself have assisted to plant a
field twice over with coi'n this season, the sec-
ond growth of which is eagerly attacked.
New I certainly think we have, without the
crows, corn destroyers enough which can be less
easily demolished. Not many years since,
the some torment prevailed : but it was dcsisted
—and how? \Vhy a law was passed iiwarding
abounty of ten cents per head for every crow
which was killed. This, all kntflv, brought an
auspicious result. The complaint of the farmers
quickly ceased. But mirabile dictu, the law
was repealed.
If a petition were to be got up to present to
the Legislature, soliciting a re-enactment of the
bounty law, it would evidently get a great many
signatures. For who can deny to put his name
there? No sane man, I'll venture to declare.
VVhat would be the burden of a few cents extra
tax upon a man compared with the loss of a crop
of corn? Nothing, even if the bounty were
twenty-five cents per crow. E-3*’ TRY IT !

PROTECTION or THE TELEGItAPH.——A Bill
passed the Legislature on the 8tl1 for the protec-
tion of the Telegraphic posts and wires. Any

Later from Mexico.
The New Orleans Picayune of May 31,
contains news from Mexico of a late date.
The Theatis left Vera Cruz on the 20th
‘ult. The U. S. steamship Mississppi arrived
off Vera Cruz on the 18th, bringing intelli-
gence of the battles of the 8th and 9th inst.
but very wisely the news was only com-
municated to a few Americans in the city.
The port was immediately blockaded by
the Mississippi and the Falmouth.
Orders were received by the American
citizens from Mexico, directing them to

our Consul would go‘ on board one of our’
vessels. The Government is making the
greatest exertions, straining every nerve
to carry on the war with the utmost vigor,
and by the most arbitrary measures had
replenished the treasury. ' '
The Castle of San Juan de U.loa, as our
last accounts state, was in a perfect state
of defence,,and the officers in command
were confident of being able to repel an
attack. They will shortly have an oppor-
tunity of displaying their s’.ill in gunnery
and forming an intimate acquaintaiice with
our naval force.
The Mexicans were in high glee at the
various gasconuding despatches received
from the camp of Matamoras, which spoke
with the utmost enthusiasm of the ‘brill-
iant. coiidiion of their army, and predicted
the most magnificent triumphs over the
American forces. '
The Apache Indians have attacked the
town of Apulo where they killed 32 Mex-
icans. The Indians stealing every thing
they could lay their hands upon.

Deplorable ZlIa.s-sacres in Te.'.c'.-s.—A letter
from San Antonio de Bexar, gives deplo‘
rable accounts of murders and robberies
committed on the people inhabiting the
l.Vestern frontier of Texas, by the Caman'
ches and Lipans. Most ofthe able bodied
men of the colonies of New Braunfels,
Castroville and Lake Cuani having joined
the army under Gen. Taylor, the savages,
profiting by their abscence, threw them-
selves upon the old men, women and chil-
dren, burnt the houses, the crops of corn,
mutilated the dead bodies, violated the
women, and carried off a number of cl.il-
dren into slavery.
The Commercial Association of German
Princes who undertook to colonize the
mountains of the San Saba, have not been
successful in their plans. They directed
:1 convoy of one hundred wagons on the
route towards the colony, which was at-
tacked by the savages. The German em-
igrants, after fighting desperately, were
overwhelmed by numbers and obliged to
retreat, leaving behind them a great num-
ber of killed and wounded in the hands of
the savages. The wagons contained the
whole fortunes of the emigrants.

By the bark Louisiana, Capt. \Villis, we
have advices from Vera Cruz to the 25th
iilt.—5 days later than those brought by
the Thetis.
The blockade of Vera Cruz commenced
on the 20th of May; 15 days were allowed
for all neutral vessels to load and depart,
by order of the Mexican Government.
The day on which the L. sailed, news
reached Vera Ciuz that Mazatlan had pro-
nounced. Gen. Alvarez was still carrying
on his hostile preparations in the south
part of Mexico.
A report was in circulation that Gen.
Paredes intended to leave the city of
Mexico, at the head of more troops, to
reinforce the army in the north.
The great animosity existing against
American volunteers, was increased by
the intelligence ofthe 8th and 9th.
In consequence of the enormous forced
loans which Government had imposed
upon the clergy the latter declared itself
totally unable to get the metropolitian
churches prepared to furnish subsidies of
$98,000 per month; churches of Mechan-
can, $5000; of Puebla, $410,000; of Gun-
delaxara, $20,000; of Durango, $15,000;
of Aaguca, $15,000. These great guns
show that the President is determined to
prosecute the war with energy. ln regard
to Paredes putting himself at the head of
the army, El Republicano says it is uncer»
tain whether he will repair to the Rio
Grande or Vera Cruz. He would leave
the capital as soon as Congress assembled.
Full accounts of the disastrous action of
the 8th and 9th have been received at the
capital, and appeared in the official journal.
They are more acurate than Mexican
bulletins generally are and do credit to
Arista. The news was received with
regret, but with a determination to fight
it out.

and bound to do large tliings—but in the

Nathan Seeley, Jr. of Bethel, has a three
year old heifer, which gave in four days
last week 166 1-41 lbs. of milk, being an
average of 41 lbs. 18 oz. per day.
Earpedition against Sante l"c.—A corres-
pondent of the Journal of Commerce, whose
letter is datted at Washington, 5 o clock
Tuesday afternoon, says :
“An express has this afternoon been
dispatched by the Secretary of VVar to
Col. Kearney, with orders to march forth-
with to Sante Fe. The force consists of
the 1st diagoons and the Missouri volun-
teers. It includes nearly two thousand
mounted men. It will move with great
celerity, and soon take and hold Sante Fe
against every opposition that can be raised
by Mexico.”

ingly beiieficial in intermittent and remittcnt Fe-
vers, Indigestion, (Ste. and is almost a certain
cure for Fever and A gue, and what is of more
importance it does it permanently.
It not only destroys \Vorms, and invigorates
the whole system, but it disssolves and earries
offthe super abundant slime or mucus. so prev-
alent in the stomach and bowels of children,
more especially of those in bad health. This
mucus forms the bed, or nest, in which worms
produce theii-young, and by removing it, it is
impossible for worms to remain in the body.
It is harmless in its effects on the system, and
the health of the patient is al-way improved by
its use, even when no worms are discovered.
Numerous certificates of its usefulness have been
received, which the Proprietor does not consid-
er necessary to publish; yet to give the read er
an idea of its Vermifuge power, he will mention
a few cases. He gave it to his little nephew,
not four years old, and in a few days he dis-
charged upwards of ninety large worms. He
also gave it to his daughter, then about three
years old, when it brought away thirty worms
in one night.
Josiah Thompson, near Salem, N. J. admin-
