atior thar'iiearely .endeavoring to excite
isis n aitf aggression on general
Taylorsrny . is possible that lie does wish
to winalaurel crown; but we shall be much
disappointed in: our notions of the character of
that. gallant chief, and the mongrel race he
commands, if his high :sounding declarations
and-fervent addresses do not, in the end, turn
out tobe all bluster and' no blood. The course
he,.is. pursuing though, is well calculated to
ruble the spirits of our aoloiers, and to inflame
them..to acts of hostility; when he may be very
unpreired to meet such an event. Tha very
factof pointing his guns at general Taylor's
men.-when they were opposite Matamoros,an~d
while they were on the north batik of the Rio
Grande, was a sufficient provocation to have
justified iiit general in immediately attacking
the town and giving him battle. We are glad
to learn, that th'ough our troops did not fire up
on the enemy, they yet had the uanhood to
stand their ground. It was circulated through
the papers, that when the Mexicans made de
monstrations of fight, the United Sttes army
was ordered to take its station lower down the
river. That report has been contradicted by
the latest acnonuts.
The behaviour of the Mexican government
towards our Minister too, was almost a snff
cient cause for the commencement of hostilities
against that republic; and was such an act, as
by a jealous nation, might have been construed
into an actual declaration of war. We have
now; we have had, and we may continue to
have manifold causes of complaint against the
Mexican nation-we have manifold grounds
for an open rupture with that people-we have
many wrongs done to individuals, and wrongs
done to our government, which are yet unaton
ed, for and unredressed. But notwithstanding
all these serious piovocations,and notwithstan'd
tug all these repeated indignities, which would
fully justify us in an appeal to the sword, we
sincerely desire, if there be any honorable way
left us to avoid it. that we may not he brought
into.collision with Mexico at this time.
We differ from many of the editors of the
South. -We do not wish a war with Mexico
Though the Mexicans are a eavngo, insolent
and cowardly race. yet we do not court a strife
with then. We pity them. They rougit to
excite our co:npassiou. They are like drown
ing men-they are in connusion and dismay.
and they are catching at every thing that they
think may tLoin:and the r..sp--et or other na
tions. nn enable them to preserve somae of the
forms of government, and exhibit some of the
marks of courage and patrioinsm. Let us not
trample npon an enemy that is unale to m-ike
resistance. Though insulted, we should dis.
dain to seek redress from tin utterly prostrate
and powerless adversary. A brave man pities
an'impotent foe-the coward and bully insults
andsexults over, the weak, the timid, and the
unresistitng. If our President is determinied to
gpjo war, and if it is absolutely necessary for
us to have a war to give vent to the exnberance
ofour spirit _let us go to wanrvithEngland. If
we,teed blood-letingto prevent inflanuation,
let its fight Great Britain-we can find a cause
whenever we seek for it. Such a contest, if it
would not be an evidence of our prudence,
would at least be anevidence of our valor; and
wve ane vain enongh to sup~pose, that some glo
ry might be acquired in astrife, even with tihe
mistress of the seas. Te souls of a brave and
gallant soldiery wouldsicken at the thoughts of
fighting the poor, ignorant tndiscplin~ed Mex
icans. Let England and other European na
tions, oppress the weak. and plunder their
towns and cities, and reduce their inhautants
to slavery; ours .will be a higher and a tnobi.-r
atm, to protect, and encourage, and animate the
down-trodden and the dispirited-to bear with
the infirwitiesdinseparable from their condition,
atnd wvhen fighting must be- done, to tight and
to conquer nations, over which we could be
proud to gain a victory. H onora ble men have
an abhorence for a war, in which a triumph
would beca disgrace, anid in which theeconque~r
er could have nothing to inspire themn in bat
tid, but thne hopes of the plunder ofdefenceless
cities.
Some 'contend that the Mexicans are not
weak, but from all present appeurances. and
from what has been exhibited by that peoople
for the last eight or ten years, such a notion is
perfectly absurd and ridiculous. The State of
Georgia alone, if she would act with half her
native vigor, could overrun and subdue the
whole republic of Mexico. That imbeeile na
tion was for several years at war wvith a few
half famished Texiarns, and aller all its splendid
parade, and gorgeous exper~diture of bombast,
was completely utnable to reduce this misera
ble handful of men to submission. It us in such
a state ofconmplete bankruptcy and disorganiz
arton-that it cannot fight. Trhe bravest people
in the world could not fiaht uinder aimilar cir
c~umstances. Besides all this-it is confidently.
reported, and confidently believed, by every
person that has any acquaintance whatever,
wvith Mexican affairs, that it will only require
a few more weeks to give birth to another ter
rible- revolution .in that governmont, which
will abolish tine only forms of republicanism
which it still cherishes, and extirpate the Iast
seeds of that liberty for wvhicithe Mexican peo.

of the Natibual Legislature, were certainly muost

FOR THE ADVERTISER.
Messrs. Editors: It has been said that
an ounce of preventive is a pound of cure,
and there may be as much truth in the
adage as is dreamed of in sound philoso
phy. But so great is the indifference of
men generally, to every thing besides the
great topic of making money, that the
chief worldly good, health, and the means
for preserving it are altogether neglected.
We are glad to see our worthy officers of
Police engaged in cleaning out our Beaver
Dam, (alias Fever Darn,) and in remov
ing the rafts and obstructions, to the free
passage of the water, which will greatly
promote the draining of the low lands,
and thus obviate one of the causes of
miasmata.
As the scarlet fever is at no great dis
tance from this, it may also be worth while
for our citizens to begin a reform, and at
tend to the cleaning out of their lots and
yards, and especially the cellars-have all
filth and decaying vegetable matter re
moved-all manures hauled out, or so
covered with earth as to prevent evapnra
:ion. Attend to the cleansing of the chil.
dren-have them well washed with plenty
of clean water, and if this will not do
alone, try some soap, and get off all the
dirt-keep them and their chahing clean.
Have the houses, and especially the sleep
ing apartments, well cleansed and ventila
ted. attend, also, to the diet of children.
Let it he plain milk and bread, allow vege
tables or molasses, hut little or no menat
keep their bowels in a soluble condition
with salts, and try the Belladonna as a
preventive. The latter may he had of
any of the physicians or druggists.

From the Southern C/hrislian Advocate.
TO THE METHODIST OF THE
SOUTH AND SOUTH WEST.
Dear Brethren.-The position in which
we are mutually placed by the Organiza
tion of the Southern Conferences into the
M. E. Church, South, will probably be
a sufficient apology for the liberty I take
in thus addressing you. The Southern
Conferences having all without exception,
ratified the acts of the late Louisville Con
vention, and elected delegates to repre
sent them in the approaching General
Conference, at Petersburg, I way be al
lowed to congratulate you on the unex
ampled unanimity of sentiment and feel
ing with which this movement has been
carried through, the peace which pervades
the new connection ; and the security and
equality of ecclesiastical rights thus effec
ted. Southern Methodists now feel that
their privileges are not held at the mercy
of a wild and wayward fanaticism which
makes its caprice and its power the rule
of action, and which by mere courtesy al
lows slave-holders to continue members
of the Church. Itstead of the quad
rennial struggle which in former times
made the General Conference the arena
of strife, and which continually threatened
to put the ecclesiastical power in conflict
with the laws of the Southern States, and
perilled the gospel which it has ever been
the peculiar mission of the Southern min
istry to preach to the poor ; we now look
forward to peaceable sessions where the
appropriate work of the Christian minis
try will alone claim attention, delibera
tion, and action.
Will you allow me to express the wish
that in hehalf of the approaching General
Conference--the first to be held under the
new organization, fervent and united
prayer way go -up to the throne of the
heavenly grace, that God may vouchsafe
to the nemhers composing that body, the
uncrion rich, and full, and free, of the
Holy Ghost, without whose light and aid,
nothing gooid can be effected. Send up
to the mercy -seat from every family and
church-ahtar, and from every closet thro'
out our extended Zion, mighty and be
lieving prayer that Jesus who bought the
Church with His own blood, and who as
the great Shepherd of souls careth fur the
tiock, may by present in our minds, may
preside in our counsels, to enlighten, di
rect, and restrain ;--that the deliberations
of that body, which must be so influential
for good ur evil through all the time to
come, it the Church of which it is the
hithest council. may in all their issues be
for the manifestation of the truth and the
advancement of the cause of God among
meu. The best abilities and strength of
the Church will be found in that assembly;
yet our trust is not in an arm of flesh, but
in the living God. His presence and
blessings will give prosperity, will ensure
a successful result to all the measures for
the weal of the Church, which may be
devised and instituted on that important
occasion. And we are confidenttharthe' 1
prayer of faith, presented most humbly
but most earnestly, and in the all prevail
inig name of Jesus, will secure to us the
divine guidance and blessing.
Indulge me with the liberty to'add,-that
it is most devoutly to be wished' that the
conmencement otfour history as an inde
pent Church under the exclusive jrisdic
tion of a Sotuhten General Conference,
may be marked as a- memorable starting
poinit in a fresh and glorious career of ho
liness and usefulness. Let us labor and
look for a large bapuiism of the Holy Ghost;
stuch a deepening of the work of grace in
the Church as has not hiereture been
known. Let preachers and people pray
for a muighty and sweeping- revival of re
ligion ; seek it from God, through Christ,
night uind disy, in solitary atnd in tunited -
suppllicatiotn, andh never rest timil-our sta- I
tion cii cuits, and dist ricts feel the hallowing
influence of the promised Spirit of grace:
atnd rejuice in the triumphant march of
truth atid holiness over the land. Then,
and thten only, shaull we have old-fashion
edl, priimitive, geituine Alethodism, when
believers are advancing in holiness ;, and
sinner; by scores anid hundreds are turninc
to God. For this highi and holy end al
church-nrganiizut ions should exist. Where
this is not accomplished, al- else is vain:
-the body has no quickening spivit, no
vital, heaver-kindled soul: the cemple
has ito ind weiling divinity. I beseech my
brethren in the ministry, to seek a freah
baptism of the Holy Ghost, to give them
selves with redoubled energ'iev to their one
great work of calling sintiers to. repent
an::e, aiid hbuilding tip believers on their
most holy fai' h;--to bestir themselves thatI
the blood of situls be not futid upon their
garments. Let us girdl ourselves afresh
for the duties appropriate to our presett
circumtanatces, mainmaintg an unwaverinig
ho) alty to Christ, and an unfalterinag faith
in God's promises ; atnd looking with
cotnfidence to see the work of hoiess
increasing and spreading over these South
ern lands.
And niow that the God of peace may
direct and suistain th~e wshole church, mema
biership and ministry, in the blessed paths
of peace and holiness, and save us all in his
heavenly kingdom is the devout prayer of
Yours most af'ectionately.]

Napolhon Bonaparle.-It will be recol
lected by the most of our readers that
Napoleon at his death, requested his
executor, Genmeral Monuholon, not to'
publish the papers which as executor, came
into his hands. until 25 years after 'he death
of the Em peror-. Those years have noen
elapsed, and these inzteresting papers arel
now in the coutrse of publiceuion- in Paris,
and will soon sme reprinted here. The read
ing~ public will no doubt meek after the work
which will reveal the opiniions and intention
of such a man as Napoleon, utk more so as
these memoirum will not be thoughts colored
by others, but veritable emanations from
himself. Among ot her ititerestiag matters
is his exhibition of the method of his
contemplated invasion of Great Britain,
andI what he intended to do, after having
ennanzre-cbn contry.

which betrayed..neither regret for tlhe past, nor
pprehension for the futt~re, so far as she was
ndividually.corfcerned. Her chief solicitude
teemed, to be manifested for her husbtnd and
ter children. In 6'halt of her childreia, 6uia'
'ew hours: before she died she made this ie

wvhom and herself, long years of friendship had
subsisted, a friendship sealed by (lie interchange

she must leave theni, ste hoped, that', they
would continute thei- kindne's toihe- children,
hat they would exercise a sort of general sit
tervision and -guardianship ooe' them in their
ender years, and that whenever they should
see their youthiful feet likely to be led astray
nto the paths of vice and imnorality, that they
would in remembrance ofher, drop them a
word of friendly cminsel and adnioition. She
nanifested the highest possible regard for her
inusband, and said till that affection could sug
;est, to console hint in this hour of beart rend
ng affliction.' Few, that have never felt the
itter bereavement, can judge of the anguish
f man's-hesrt, thus to have the companion of

ttes tion, both day and night, which she re
eived from them, all that human sympathy and
human kindness could do to smoothe the rug.
