Ward, has put S-iew Hack -upon the. route. This Coach which has just commenced running, was built in Albany, New York. It is well and strongly built, is handsomely painted, with new and fine harness to match, and is in every respect, well suited to the confort & pleasuare of the travelling public. This Coach is called the General Tay lor-a.recommendatiou certainly, in many res pects, for the old hero of Buena Vista possesses many good qualities, and has shown him self capable of endu ring much. We believe We believe the Cotacli resembles him in these particulars. But in one thing, it is entirely unlike him. Mr. Ward's Coach runs remark ably well.. On the contrary, General Taylor was never known i o run in his -life.;He always - stands stock sill-especially when an enemy is in sight.

Are we to lay dormant, when every other section of our State are aroused. to pay~ "honor, where honor is justly due," to those wha7 from sickness,or disability through wounds, &c. may be forced to return to their liontes. Is this ia-accordande with the proud feelings express. ed at the formation of this gallant band? Is this the ,treatmcnt th~ose w~ounded and otlerw.ise disabled heroes 4iin~ -prud and patritia is trict, hitve'a r~ s~pect from our hands, af ter theylu e qp hardships of almost eve ery desctiptuom without amnurmar ? For one I answer no! and would suggest, that the coin mnittee, appointed to act the noble part of rais ing the company, be called together, and suita. able arrangements for the reception of all offi cers, non-comamissioned officers anid privates - of the "96 Boys," as they arrive, be made. Let it not be said, that we, as citizens of Old Edgefield, arc ungrateful to'thiose who have so nobly represented us upon the fields of Ver i Cruz, Contreras, Chturnbnsco, Chapultepec, and at the Gates of Mexico. Thes following paragraph from a New Or leans pitper, no doubt, gives but too tiue an account of wvhat wo may ex pect to froi nupon the return of those of our gallant heroes, who may hate the good fortune t- reach their homes and families. " In alt theenthusiasm and pridle of cniriitry which is excited by the repented trimphs of our arms. how few think of' the poor soldiers who return worn out with toil and strife-their vigor and heakth gone-their constitutions bra' ken from the permircions effects of an unwhole some climate, and the strong arm w hich earned their' subsistance, in many nmstances, is left up on thei bloody fields of Mexico. The Jamnes L. Day, brought about one hundred and twenty five of those gallanit soldiers from the scenes of their triutaph; limt their wretched amid sickly countenances mnake it apparent they had sacri ficed all that make life desirable, to their coon try, .No flashing eye, nor proud aspect,. nor haughty gait marked the conduct of those vic tors on returniing to their countrty. Their eyes were dull and hollow, their aspect haggaru. and worn, their steps feeble, and it wase not age that made them so, for they were all young. bit heal--h and happiniess was the price they paid for their eonntry's gto'y, and they saw that like strangers they were received at her shores." After reading the above paragraph, Mr. Edi tor, I think there will not be a citizen in oi:r district, wvho will refuse to throw irn his mite towards defraying the expenses attending the reception of those brave men, a nttmber of whom are poor men, who, shiuld they be nnia ble.to follow their occupationis, upon accouint oif wounds, or disability, occasioned from hard ships and exposure. shoumld be providled for, at least, until- they had regained strength enongh te poide-for themselve,s.

Int faect, a part of this has been already paid ini anticipationt, having been called in by public notice Iromi the Batnk, published in our paper some weeks since. The recotmmendaitioni of the Bank that some arrangement by which it may pay t he Fire Loan Debt earlier than is now fixed by law seems to us highly judicious. It also furnishes a very clear and explicit refutation of one charge. whicth has been much urged of late years, that the insti tution was unawillitng and uniablo to pay t he Public Debt at all ; and wrould, whent it fell due, fail to pay, atnd solicit fromt the State more loatns to assist it. So far from seeking to avoid the discharge of the debt, it purposes to be allowed to pay earlier than the period stipulated, and give3 soutnd reason for Its suggestion.-Charlstonl Mercury. Crorrespondence of th~e C'ouricr. WVAsntNGToN, Nov. 27, iS47. We are looking daily for the arrival of the itntelligence and of~ the djstinguished oticers, expected from Vera Cruz. In the departments here, the arrival of several officers is looked for from day to day. It has been supposed that.hir. Trist has been directed, by late ninstructions, to re mnaitn in Mexico, andma.wait the slow movements of the governtment at Quere tarn, But, from some circumstatnces, I judge that be will arrived at Vera Crus& with the train from the cap)ital, and return immediately to this city. We can now foresee, with some cer tainty, character of the Message in regard to the Mexican wvar. lt wvill hold out the expectation of a peace, to be soon coni quered, by the continuance and vigorous prosecution of the wvar, with the aid or a few t-housand more troops. The object of the war will b-e defined, in the wvords of the treaty prepared for and offered by Mr. Trist. The boundary line proposed in that treaty, and all its other provisions, will he adhered to. The estitmates for the support of the operations in Mexico, will tee much re duced from the original estimates made by the several departtments. The esti mates of the Quarter Master General's Department will he redutced freom twventy se een to thirteen mnillions~ ; and the whole. amount of the war estimates will be about| forty-six millions for the next year. Of this sum, a portion, amounting to five or six millionis, wvill be raised. according to Mr. Walker's estimates, from various duties and military contributions in Mex ico. Mr. Clay's propositions are now tin derstood to coincide with Mr. WVebster's andjto be directed against the acquisition Fofanye new Ierritorybeyond a settlement of the Texan boundary. As to Galifornia, these propositions aliiit or the acquisition of a strip oti the Pacific coast as an equiv alent for indemnities due our citizens, or by purchase. but tint by conquest. or by a continuance of the war. I have seen some members from the South, or the vhig party, already, who will support these litter propositions. Another alternative will, according to rumor, be presented to Congress by the Calhoun party, to wit: the occupation of a line until the terms of peace shall be arranged. All these projects look to a conclusion of this onerous and unnatural war, and it is believed that Congress will adopt some resolutions declArative (if their objects in regard to its cootinuance. It is difficult to see how they can, with due regard to the safety of the armies now in Mexico, and the engagements already entered into, cut down the estimates below the amount called for by the Executive. The action in Congress and, indeed. of the Execntive, will depend much upon the intelligence which we are about to receive rrom the city of Mexico, and the opinions of our officers, Gen,. Quitman and Shields. and Dr. Lawson and others, daily expected here. The opinion prevails that the Mexican Government will take, or has taken, some steps towards the renewal of negotiations, and that it will propose negotiations either here or at Havana. The sticking point with .Iexico appears to be the boundary of Texas, and sh-ould we como to her proposition of the Nueces, leaving the strip of territory between that river and the Rio Grantde unoccupied by either party, we should soon have peace upon the project presented by Mr. Trist, It is agreed that the Nueces is a better natural boundary than any other, unless we go in the Sierra Madtre. Mr. Benton has professed his willing nes, and that of the Senate, to advise the President as to the pr.per nole or nrin ing this war to a clowe; bitt he would give his assent to no terms of a ireaty which does not concede to the United States Upper California. which he claims to have been conquered by his suit in-law, Lieut. Col. Freninit. Few members have yet arrived, but a very punctual attendance by all isexpected on or before this day week. The whie caucus for Speaker wiil take place on .Saturday evetuing, 4th December. [From the N. 0. Delta.] VtKaA Cauz, Mexico, Nov. 18. Yesterday, at noon, the Mexican courier arrived here from Oriz--ha, bringing papers and letters from Jalapi, Queretaro, and other interior cities f note. From them we glean the following few but important items In the city orGuadalajara a fresh revo l'tion has burst forth in .fivor of the eleva Presidency of Gonez Farias, antagonuist or the ecerdotal ' whilst attacking -im ng to abstract of gold. cited er -' has~ church ;ritmphied as u-mal. hsopenly pronoutnced, i, itt favor or the platn ol hi_ s pronusnciamiento and to-. i~tifoi movement, he was seconded by the garrisorn of Mazatlatn. The spirit breathed forth in every par agraph of these papers, is the spirit. oh wvar and unquenchable hatred to the North Atmericans and their acts. The Mexicans, though :lestitute of all resources, having amongst thetm the apple of discord, dis tracted by internal convualsion andc divided councils, yet evinace no desire nor tendency whatever to peace or conciliation. The Mexicatn Congress is still at Quere tare--a quorum of7G members has, it is said, beetn at last convened.-This body is about to remove to the city of "Mourelia,' (the old Valladolid,) in order to get rid o~f the military, by whtose plesence in Quretaro it is entirely overawed in the free discharge of its functions. Gen. Rea is with Santa Antna, wvho is now in Orizaba with a brigade at his coom mnand. it is reported that the next traitn proceedinug hence to the city, will be agiu attacked on the road by the combined forces of these Generals. The resutlt you may conjecture-the flights and dispersiun ufthme Mexicans. Gen. IHustamnente has left San Luis Po tosi for Qtueretarn. This General has, atccording to the Mexican papers, at his disposal a force of about 5001) tmen. Gen. Filisola is also on his tmarch, tc the same city from Zaxcatecas. Gen. Valencia is gone to Guadalajara, ir ivwhich city Almontte is residitng In the vicinity of the capital, Catnalizr was enctountered by a small American force itn the brush that etnsued, the former was driven off with some loss. THE HEROES HOME. The St. Charles Hotel yesterday pre sented an tunsual scene of attraction antd interest. Ftorty or fifty oflicers of the army wvere continually passing and repassimg through~ the rotutndo and up anud down the tmarble steps. Jn front of the hotel there were hundreds of packages of difterett descriptions-the baggage of the officers. Here yotu would see a gaily colored Mexi catn blatnket that was strappeud upon- an old trunk, that from its looks had evidetntly been thtough the wars. Theni, again, a hundle of arms, escnpetas, lances, swords, and pistols-all of them trophies taken from the enemy. These wvere all the property of our oflicers- who- had fought dturinig the war in Mexico. They brought thetm home for the purpose of~ showing themn to their fatnilies and friends, in ordem that they should be preserved as the me mnentoes of those who so wvorthily main taitned the nation's honor in a foreign war itn the Saloon we saw the gallant Gen Shields. lHe is stouter titan when we first saw him, some two years since at G~enera Taylor's camap at Camnargo, He then, it his nndreds military uniform looke like an eleg etdeman.
