of Out‘ c0lmlI‘_V held with Sir Robert Peel,

ncltiioivledged with much candor and even

That eminent statesman has the siigaci-
ty to perceive that the resources of our
country, as they become developed—the
resources that spring from luxuriant soil.
and the hardy indomitable energies of
willing labor—must, in the natural opera-
tion of immutable laws, outstrip and dc-
trude the scanty contributions of overtaxed
and unpaid labor, ofa penurious and un-
grateful soil. Iiis prophetic vision led
him to anticipate what stern and uiiyield-
ing necessity would soon have impressed
upon a more common apprehension. And
when be tempered the iron restrictions of
the Corn Laws—those barbarous relics of
an unenlightened age—and, in fact, bade
open the prison gates of trade, he made
no concession to us or to our interests,
but to the coming evcnts whose shadow
liisgood common sense——that second sight
of statesman-—enabled him to divine. He
saw the storm rising while it was no big-
ger than a man’s hand, recognized its bid-
tl'en_mca_n_'ing., and prepared to encounter it.
And though, in deference to the bigots

Gen. Taylor-‘s Dz'spa'tc/zcs.—'I‘lie follow.
ing statement of the Hagerstown (l\ld.)
Torchlight seems to establish the fact that
Gen. Taylor writes his own dispatches.
They have been generally attributed to
Maj. Bliss, though many have supposed
he has acted only as amanuensis:
“In conversation with Gen. Gibson, of
the U. S. Army, now stationed at Wash-
ington, our friend asked the question if
Haj. Bliss did not write the dispatches.
The old General’s eye sparkled with in-
dignation, and he replied that he had serv-

our superfluous productions, it must be
gratifying to hail the promise of a good
harvest. The liusbandman will not be
c_‘ondemned,'_to behold the crops, which in
their vigorous growth gladden his heart,
copious granaries, or become the despised
rejection of wasteful extravagance. He
will obtain the remnnerating price of la--
bor, be incited to new exertion by- new
hopes, gratifying life with the easy means
of living. V
The genial and constant warmth of the
sun, the grateful exhalations, and vivifying
showers sliedjfitheir influence upon the
fruits of the earth, and it pleases us to
think that while‘ the constancy and vigor
ftliese elements of al‘.tln(lallCe encourage
the honest and pains taking producer,
they at the same time dishearten the reck-
less speculator in the necessaries of human
existence. The security ofa rich harvest
and opportune market will avail much to
prevent the rash and immoral gambling of‘
the last season.

a moment was lost in lowering the boats,
and placing the passengers in them. ‘Two
boats, containing the captain, fourteen of
the crew, and fourteen passengers, suc-
ceeded in getting clear of the wreck, but*
the third with twenty persons in it, were,
drawn with the vessel, and every soul per-I
ishcd. The boat it appears, was fastened
to the wreck by a rope, which the crew in;
their fright, fearing the ship was sinl\ing,l
had forgot to unship, and it was impossi-l
ble'to cut it, the passengers having no‘
proper implement. On the following day,
at 5 o’clock in the evening, the remaining:
boats were picked up by the schooner;
Newport, belonging to Stockton, and their:
crew taken on board, which vessel reach-i
ed Galway on Monday week. The loss;
of the Eulalia and cargo is estimated at‘.

A postscript in El Republicauo of the 28th ult.

of war, said to have been held in Gen. Scott’s
camp on Thursday, the 24th. the business of
which was to determine whether or not to ad-
vance upon the capital.
“One general, whose name is not given,
is said to have argued that it would be im-
prudent, nay, an act of madness to advance
upon the city with less tlian;20,000 men;
that upon the supposition that every thing
should work favorably for them, it was
evident that they could not enter the cap-
ital without resistance ; and that supposing
in their diflcrent engageineiits that they
should lose half of their force or more,
they would be left withsoime 4,000 men,
with which number it was extremely haz-
ardous to hold so populous a city.
“General VVortli was of a different opin-
ion. He maintained that every invader
who hesitated was lost; that in their sit-
uation a single retrograde movement in-
volvcd the most disastrous consequences,
and that this had already been proved. He
added proudly that 6 or 8,000 Americans
were sufficient to conquer 520,000 Mexi-
cans; that their triumph was certain, and
there was no reason for not pressing on.
Gen. Scott and others are said to have ap-
proved thesc sentiments, so that it was at
last ‘determined that they should coni-
mence the forward movcinent on the 28th
but upon the suggestion of some one that
it might not be proper to act so promptly
after having just dispatched the communi-
cation from the government of the United
States with renewed offers of peace, Gen.
Scott replied that he would wait some days
at Rio Frio to receive the answer of the
Wexiciin government. _

council was set down by the Mexicans at;

three weeks since—was for a time questioned,
but all doubts of its gouuiueuess are now remov-

Now we do not propose at this time to take
any exceptions to Gen. Taylor's course in this
matter. He undoubtedly had it good reason for
tliusuctiug. But we wish to speak briefly of
the position which he now occupies in respect
to the\Vliig pai-ty. He has been forsomc time

popularity, which no man has rcaclied, we had
almost said, since the days of \Vnshingtou, cer-
tainly not since the days of Jackson. Nor is
his poptilarity confined to any particular section
of the country. It is not bounded by State
lines. He has as ardent, enthusiastic adniirers
in the North as in the South.
