This I _;~eceived.from one of my father’:
domestics‘, who had been despatched by
Ellen, and had ridden the distance in three
hours. In less than ten minutes I was on
horsebackHmyself arild spurring forward
towards arrisonvil e, where I arrived
(says the journal) at a quarter past seven,
but alas! too late; my father had ceased
to breathe! Sad, sad was the scene. that
I witnessed upon entering the chaniher of
death—my disc-onsolate mother and the
weeping Ellen bent over the corpse; Lewis
‘was leaning ‘against the bedpost with a
handkerchief to_his eye’s—and Fleming,
with his arm resting upon the bureau,
stood in anlattitude of grief. The lawyer
was'in the act of silently folding up his
papers, among Vflitllcll wasdthe will thatlhad

to be Davis. ‘What is he doing here?’

-the scene before me!
With the preparation, funeral ceremo-
nies, interment, &c., however I _ will not
detain the reader, but passing over the
detail of such matters, resume’ the story
at the reading of the will. Upon the ap-
pointed day came the lawyer, with a stip-
starched white cravat, blaci. suit and go it
spectacles, who drew from his green bag
a ponderous piece of parchment, upon
which, as it was there written, my father
had bequeathed the ball‘ of his propertyto
Lewis, leaving Ellen and me an inconsid-
erable legacy only. - A
This was a result I had’_never for a mo-
was beyond expression. No less was my
sister surprised, and Fleming, who, while
the will was being read,I noticed listened
very attentively,_at its conclusion, abruptly
and emphatically pronounced it a forgery,
then left the room.
‘A forgery!’ echoed the lawyer, ‘a for.
gery !’ with a look of astonishment, peer-
ing through his spectacles after the man
who had so boldly asserted it to be such.
‘A forgery indeed! I am surprised that the
gentleman should speak so incoherently——
this document is what it professes to be,
the last will and testament of the late Henry
Harrison, Esq., here are the signatures of
the witnesses, my own, and that of" “ill-
liam Davis—this gentleman,’ pointing to
the man at his elbow.
My looks, as well as those of my
mother and si--ter, were instinctively
directed towards Lewis—hc was evidently
confused.
‘Inasmuch,’ said he, ‘as-I am by my,
father’s will, heir to his estates, Arthur;
Fleming’s assertion reflects disgrace uponl
my character.. It is what I should never,
have expected from him. I thought hel
knew me better."
‘Perhaps,’ thought i, ‘he knows you too
well.’
‘Yes,’ he continuetl, ‘I thotight he
knew me better than to harborkfor a
moment against me so uncharitable a
suspicion. But time will show him his:
error.’
‘Time will show,’ thought I. ‘Is this,’
I continued, aloud, addressing the lawyer,
and placing my hand upon the document
—-‘is this the will that was written as my
father dictated——is it the same 1’
‘Sir,’ said he, ‘do you pretend to
doubt it 1’-
I made no reply nor asked further ques-
tions, but followed my mother and sister,
who were leaving the room. Lewis, the
lawyer, and Davis, were consequently left
together. I had gone but a step or two
from the room, when some thought or
other rompted me to turn back. The
door was half-open, and looking in, I saw
my brother and Ardley already inan ear-
nest conversation, but whispering. I
could hear no words that passed between
them, but whatl saw was to me conclusive
proof of what my brother-in-law had so
flatly asserted. [had no longer a doubt
of the will which was read being a forgery.
So, this Davis too was a witness, “Wil-
liam Davis” and “Christopher Ardley”
were the signatures as witnesses to the
will. But how was it with my brother
and Fleming"! had they parted compan
ionship? or had one outwitted the other?

Surprise of a large .Mea:z'can Force by Gm.
. Cariwalladei----Gen. Pillow a_-racked, but
the Gzzerrillas Dcfeat:d with loss.
The following we copy from the New
Orleans Picayune Extra of the 28th ult:
A rumor reached Vera Cruz on the night
of the 2-l«th that Gen. Cadivallader’s com-
mand had fallen in with a guerilla party a
few miles beyond Jalapa, and by a move-
ment unperceived by the guerrilleros, suc-
ceeded iri surprising them and killing 30
of them, without losing a man. Our cor-
respondent thinks there is some truth in
the report;
By another letter dated 24th ult. we
learn that the train which went tip under
the command of Gen. Pillow was attacked
at Calera, said to be nine miles beyond
Puente Nacional. The guerrzlleros were
dispersed with the loss ofthirty men. ‘We
are said to have had some eight or ten
wounded but none killed.
The prospect appears to be that a
a stronger resistance is to be made to our
advance than has lately been anticipated.
An immense force has been concentrated,
and the Mexicans have seventy pieces of
cannon——some accounts say ninety.‘

fore exhibited the real nature of our rela-
tions with that country—--10 have told I/ie

The public mind has been fluttered some
time past with predictions of early peace.
Not only have statements been confident-
ly published, hearing too the seeming air
of quas-i-autliorityu that peace was deter-
mined upon by Mexico and would soon be
consummated, but the very terms of the
treaty that was to be made have been sub-
mitted to the public. A more gross at-
tempt upon the credulity of the people we
never recollect to have witnessed.
The mission of Trist, from which so
much was promised and so much believed,
filled us with early apprehensions. \-Ve
did not consider him a person qualified for
the diplomatic purpose upon which he was
sent; nor did we think the secret charac-
ter of the mission argued a favorable re-
sult. The whole proceeding seemed to
confess a want of confidence on the part
of our Government in the success of the
negotiations, and a consequent disposition
not so to commit itself as to be unable to
excuse its conduct, when called upon for
explanation. The character of the indi-
vidual selected therefore, and the dubious
nature of the mission, forboded no good.
Beside, reports that 1.l.‘0.§:'lll find their way
to the ear, either through the public press
or in private correspondence, too plainly
demonstrated to our mind that the great
means of the mission was I2rz'ber_z/. Mexi-
can Generals,vvere‘to be corrupted by our
gold to acknowledge our claims, and pro-
cure their adjustment. The means
posed made us most skeptical of the end-
Nor could we consider that peace a m_;it-

obtained by treachery, and ,r.-res-nrved, if
preserved at all, by corruption,
We had no motive for abusing the pub

A Tragic Occurrence took place on
Saturday afternoon 3d at the country resi-
dence of G. G. Howland, Esq. resulting in
the instant death of James J. Brown, aged
243 years, son of Mr. James Brown, of the
firm of Brown, Brothers & Co. and son-in-
law of Mr. Howland, which was attended
by circumstances of a very distressing as
well as extraordinary character. Young
Brown was exercising himself in a swing,‘
while two sons of G. G. I-lowland, Esq.
one aged about 12 and the other about 1-1-,
,ye:irs, were amusing themselves by tiringi
offa small cannon about three inches long,;
mounted on wheels. As the boys fired it‘
o ,i\’Ir. Brown, for the. purpose of con-l
tributing to their amusement, would at
each discharge, drop himself from the
swing, exclaiming “I am shot." At
length, he suggested to the boys that, in
order to produce a louder report, they
should put something into the cannon.
They put in accordingly two duck shot.
On firing it off, it whcclcd, and the shot
"striick Mr. B. He fell from the swing,
and exclaimed as before, "I am shot,” and
never spoke again. One of the shot struck
and severed the jugular vein; but the
boys supposed that, as before, he had
only fallen tor their sport; and he conse-
quently laid some seconds before the boys,
led by curiosity, approached him and
found him weltering in a pool of blood:
He endeavored to speak to them, but
could not more than partially articulate

been niude to relieve the udministrutioii of the
odiuiii of o:'iginul_iug the war with Mexico.
That_oui' i'cudei's may see how furthis charge
is sustained, we quote from Congi'essioual Re‘
ports, 193, first session 2.‘.‘tli Congress the parit-
gmpli iipou which this charge is based. The
ltiiguagc is used only after repeated hints and
i .n:-ndoes from the President to take a position
on the Rio Grande. .
Gen. T:i_ylor’s instructions were of this char-
actei'—"You'will approach as near the western
“boundary of Texas as circmnstaizccs will per-
“7iz’il." Again the President snys—“Upon all
“the points onumcruted, and others not sugges-

“not only with rofcreiice to the continuance of

“take position on the bunk ofthe Rio Grnude,
“llP2ll' its mouth, or places above.”
Observe tlielzinguago of the instructions-—
“In the contiiigcucy of your sclcclidg.” ézc.
Gen. Taylor would not pcriiiit any such contin-
g-'iicy to occur. He was dctcriiiincd that the
Prcsi: out should select l)lS’]?()Sltl0ll for him,
and the 1’i'osidcnt did so, ordering him to move

the udiiiiiiistratioii that the tci'i'itoi'y of Texas

Mark the proviso of Gen. Taylor in the above
p:ii*agi'zipli. He says "ff our government, in
settling the qu estion of boundary. makes the R.
Gi-nude an ultimal-um., I cannot doubt, otc.
Thus the old soldier throws the whole respon-
sibility of assumirig the Rio Grunde us the boun-
dary of Texas, where it belongs, if any where
out of Congress, namely, upon the President
and his Cubiiiet. But the loco focos who have

tei-s, have, in every instance, as far as we have
observed, omitted that portion which isiu italics,
and quoted only the last; portion, thus wholly
iiiisi'epi'cse_ritiiig his position. But’. this is not all
in regard to Gen. Taylor's letter. He soon af-
ter wrote another, in which he expressed doubts
of the expediency of occupying the Rio Grande.

the govei°nmcnt in regard to the future. The
following is hislunguuge-—dated Corpus Christi,

“the best while negotiations are pending, or at:
"any rate until a disposition shall be manifested
“by Mexico to protract. them uui'easonably.”*
The administration finding all its efforts to
entrap Gen. Taylor vain, at length issued a de- '
finite order to him in part in these words——
“The Rio Grande is claimed 5.:-.36 Th6 501113‘
“dary between the two countries, and up to this
“boundary you are to extend your protection,

The administration even went further, and
ordered Taylor to cross ‘the river, if he found
troops assembling on the opposite side, and dis-
perse them! So the war was inevitable.
