S a t u r d a y , M a y 0 , 1 8 4 0 . The venerable Editor o f the Caynga P atriot, says :— “ W e shonld b e pleased occasionally to pay o u r respects to o u r neighbor o f th e Daily A d vertiser, b u t that veritable organ has b een quite dull and spiritless since the late C ounty N omina tions.” W e not only cordially reciprocate the compliment—w e do m ore—w e are more courte ous still—for w e have it in o u r power to say, that the P atriot has b ee n famed for those'qualities, for the possession o f w hich it compliments ns, from a period long auterior to the late County N omina tions. He says w e “ seem to have dropped State and County Politics.” W hen such scenes as w ere last w in ter e n a c ted on the floor of th e Senate of the State of New York, and more recently at the celebrated “ b loody g r o u n d ” o f N e w Scotland, b y tbe great c h am p ions of democracy, are tbe fruits of the principles of the party in power, and become the politics o f the State—when similar scenes, enacted b y the spoils seeking leaders of democracy at home, become the politics of a county—and when the two factions of the party in power, having from long family intimacy, come to a m ost perfect knowledge o f each other, are every where bringing to light the monstrous hy- pocracy, knavery and corruption ol those champi ons and leaders, is it not enough for the Whig party and W hig organs to look on in silent aston ishment ? __________________________ * T h e D a ily Tocsin says, in answ e r to th e query o f o n e of o u r c o rrespondents, as to th e tim e w h e n the Magnetic Telegraph would be in operation to this p lace, th a t “ nothing is now w a n ting to c o m - plete th e action o f the line b u t the arrival o f the battery and other a p p a ratus of the office ; a h a lf day being a ll tbe tim e necessary to do th e labor requisite to connect the wires here. W e live in hope, from day to day, that o u r n ext p aper w ill enable n s to announce the successful action o f the wires to Auburn.” Precisely tho kind of food all ou r c itizens have been living upon, so far as ■and GUILTY OF BRIBERY. It w ill b e remembered that an individual b y the name o f McCook w as a short time since de nounced by a m em ber o f the Pennsylvania L egis lature named P io llet for an attempt at b ribery; the charge w as that McCook h ad oflered him $500 for his vote on some question concerning the Lehigh Bank. A paper, n o t having the utmost confidence in the v irtue and integrity o f M r. Piol let in particular, or of Legislators in general, thus explains w h at seemed to it the extraordinary fact of the honorable gentleman’s resistance to the proffered b ribe: “ If McCook had offered a bank bill o f fifty or a hundred dollars to auy m em ber of the Pennsylvania L egislature o r of any other Legislature, it is very probable th at the bill w ould have beeu taken iu silence, and nothing more said about it. But the offer of bo extravagant a stun, m a d e to such, a Legislator, w a s so far above the real value of the article, that he w as aston ished, stupified, frightened, and believed that -they either w ished to m a k e a fool of, o r compro mise him.” As a Pennsylvania Legislature has quite a8 un enviable a reputation for honesty and integrity,[as the U nited States House of R epresentatives h a for decorum and decency, w e are not surprised at the severity of the above comments, b u t we are sure they do n o t apply to the honorable m em ber in question, and w e award to him all the m ore honor for’being so extraordinary an exception— he deserves a monument for such au example of incorruptible public virtue, in these days of politi cal degeneracy. McCook has been tried and found guilty, by a jury of his country, of bribery and corruption.— All honor to the one—eternal infamy to the oth- • * Cravats, Undervests and Drawers, Linen and Muslin | Magnetism is concerned, for weeks past- Shuts, Collars, Bosoms. &c. j * , - f N.

The strap j and-buckle usually attached to Stocks are dispensed with, 7 and a Spring substituted in their place, which holds it firmly, and yet is much more easy and comfortable to the H neck than the old style. It is also so constructed that I when on the neck it exactly resembles a Cravat neatly tied; aud the ease ivith which it is adjusted to the neck .♦, nnd taken off, gives it a great advantage over a Cravat, or the ordinary Stock. Ou the whole, its superiority over all others for neat- icss and convenience, is such that the subscriber, in com- i mon with those who have used thorn, is confident that they will suuersede anything of the kind yet invented.

P o i n t I s a b e l , Texas, April 12. The Mexicans are acting in a singular maimer. W hile G en. T aylor was on the march to Mata- moras, the Mexican troops sent w ord to him that if he dared to cross the Colorado, they would at tack him. The General replied that he had or ders to go to the Rio Grande, aud go he would. Our advauced guard crossed the stream, flanked by tw o com p anicsofflyiugartillery; the Mexican troop3 retreated as ours advanced, and finally, when we reached the river they had crossed over to Matamorns. Gen. Mejia, (pronounced Maliea) not thinking himself strong enough in the city, waited lor the arrival o f reinforcements under Ampudia, a cruel and blood thirsty scoundrel, notable for having boiled the head of oue of his enemies iu oil. In the mean time, two of our dragoons tvere captured, and Gen. Taylor sent word that he would attack Matumoras instantly, if they were not delivered up. Gen. Mejia sent them baeli. w ith some pompous message about the m agnauimnity of the Mexican nation. 1 hear Gen. Ampudia has just arrived in Mutemoras with a reinforcement of 2000 men, so that in nil probability the light will commence soon. The Mexicans had at one time determined lo attack us, aud had tixed the hour, 4 P . M. The priests blessed the field of battle, and administered ex treme unction to the army, but the citizens of Matemoras, knowing that our cannon command ed the town, succeeded in preventing the fight at that time. Yet their cauuouiers stood all night at their guns, with the matches lighted. No .v that Ampudia lias arrived, there is scarcity a doubt but that a battle will take place, i ho Mexicans have allowed immense trains of provis ions and stores to pass between this depot and tho arm y w ith a slight escort of a company of dragoons. W e have here altogether teamsters and discharged soldiers, sutlers, &c., at the ut most rarely over 150 men. Why, then, don’t the Mexicans throw over a thousand men aud take this the main depot o f the A rmy 1 Our for tifications are not halt finished, though our men are hard at w ork. A t this moment all the trains (about 200 wagons) w hich started out yesterday, have returned, for fear they will be attacked. It seems that Cross, our Asst. Qr. Mr. General was taken prisoner w hile taking a ride a day o r two since, aud there is no doubt b u t that he is in Mat emoras. It is even said they have set him at work breaking stone for a new road they are ma king. Gen. T aylor of course w ill at once attack the city if the Col. is n o t released, and the war once commenced, w ho knows where it w ill end ? W e have had acveral false alarms here, and one n ig h t two companies of dragoons came a t full speed from the army to our assistance, Gen. Tay. lor’s spies having reported to him that 700 men had crossed the river to attack us. In the mean time, no one would ever dream that this w as a place liable to b eattacked, ju d ging from the m an ners of the occupants. M o n d a y M o r n i n g , April 13. I have not had as quiet a night as I anticipated About 12 o’clock I w as awakened by loud talking in all directions. It seems an express came in from the army to hurry ou the baggage train, fight being anticipated to-day a t 4 o’clock, P. M.: Gen. Ampudia having giveu Gen. Taylor that length o f time to move back to the Nneces. In case Gen. T. does n ot comply, Ampudia is to com mence the battle. I have ja s t been talking to z Mexican who has come in. H e says Col. Cross was taken b y some rancheros, who tied his hands behind him and brought him to Matamoras. He says also that Gen. Mejia gave the Col. his parole, and that they are now living very amicably to gether ; b u t that since A m pudia has arrived, he don't know w h at m ay be done._ Very little con- fidence can however b e placed in these Mexican tales. Our conversatson w as in Spanish, o f w liich I have some little knowledge. Since w riting the above, I find the army have changed their front. They now occupy a much stronger position, and it is to b e hoped if th e b at tle is now taking place, they are giving a good ac count of th e enemy. * * Our intrench- ments are not half completed, and the enemy can leap the ditches at almost any point. On the ex trem e left there is a strong guard o f sailors and marines, under L ieut. Henshaw, o f the Navy.— The storm is so violent that the enemy m ight at tack us with perfect safety. T u e s d a y M o r n i n g , 14th, No express has come in this morning from camp, and I shall therefore b e obligedtoclosethis without giving you any further news. W ar hav ing been virtually declared yesterday, our squad ron have received their orders from Gen. T aylor to blockade the Mexican port. I say virtually declared, since Gen. A m pudia sent w ord to G en. Taylor that if the U. S. troops did not remove be yond the N ueces b y 4 P . M, yesterday, the Mex ican government w ould consider his presence in the light of a declaration o f w ar on.the p a rt o f tbe United States, and would open their fire upon him. But the “ H arney” is about to sail, and must conclude. P . S. An express has just come in. The Mex icans are preparing to cross the river above Gen. T .’s positiou and there are some strong indications that they w ill attack this place w ith a large force. Our fortifications are weak, b u t w e feel ready to m eet any number o f them. F o r t W a y n e . —This n ew and populous town on the W abash Canal is extending its business and pushing ahead in good style. It contains from 3000 to 3500 inhabitants a t the present time —probably b y another y ea r they w ill reach 4000. ~ A lthough the several breaks iu the canal have had the effect of keeping the people of the West rather longer than was intended out oftheir usual supply of Spring Goods —any one who will < r e f e r t o th e a d v e r t i s e m e n t s o f o u r m e r c h a n t s w i l l b e c o n v i n c e d th a t a l l s u c h d i f f i c u l t y is a t le n g t h re m o v e d .

This course becomes doubly impor tant, as w e believe it to b e a truth beyond dispu ting that all persons desirous o f keeping superior articles, or of disposing o f them a t unusually low rates, w ill take all appropriate means to make such intention manifest—while those w ho fix n p on the opposite system very naturally show by their conluct, that in their opinion, “ the least said is soonest m ended.” Only two individuals w ho w ere members of the Constitutional Convention in 1321 have b een elected to the Convention of 1846.

A SQUALL. “ T’is fearful on the brood back’d waves, To feel them shake and hear them roar. Beneath, unsounded, dreadful cares, Around, no cheeriul shore. The scud is driving wildly overhead, The stars bum dim, the ocean moans its dead.” D an a . “ Man the to’ gallant clew lines!” shouted the Lieutenant o f the watch through his trumpet, as our frigate lay becalmed ofl’ the far famed Juan Fernandez, the island of “ Robinson Crusoe ”— The day had been unusually fine, even for that delicious clim ate; the ocean sleeping in quiet beauty, its smooth polished surface disturbed ouly by the shoals o f porpoises th at gamboled about a t intervals. As night drew on, a large, w ell defined bank of* inky clouds began to gather iu tbe South- West, and light “ cats paws” to ripple the blue waters o f the deep, w hich sent up an awful and solemn sound, as i f the myriads who sleep in its bosom “ stirred in their heavy slumbers.\ I have often listened to this w ild, mysterious m oaning of the lone ocean during a calm, aud w ith seusations akin to awe, fancied that human voices w ere min gled w ith it. On the occasion of which I am speaking, it was louder and d eeper than usual, and the oldest seamen shook their heads omin ously, and m u ttered that “ it boded no good.” The b ank o f clouds continued to increase in magnitude, until it had overshadowed the w hole W estern horizon, still not a b reath of air filled the heavy topsails, as they lumbering, flapped against the masts, w hile the frigate lazily hove h e r huge hull out of the w ater to m eet the advances of tbe smooth, unbroken, glassy swell, The crew were listlessly disposed about the decks “ spinning long yarns,” singing old sea ballads w ith suppressed voices, (for the discipline of a man o f w ar prohi bits unnecessary noise,) w hile others courted the advances of drowzy Morpheus, as they lay stretched at full length about the hatchways, the combings o f which made in their estimation an excellent pillow. The Captain and first L ieuten ant w ere slowly pacing to and fro on the quarter deck, talking perchance of th eir far distant friends and home, and pausing occasionally to gaze for a moment upon the dark and threatening mass of clouds astern. A S i g n . —Every few days, droves of fine cattle are now seen to pas3 from the w est, for the pur pose of supplying in p a rt the wauts o f the eastern markets—sights w hich were n o t seen for m onths or perhaps years while the old Tariff was ap proaching nearer and nearer the much vaunted Free T rade notions of the South. Then every avenue of trade seemed to be closed—It was im possible for the farmer to find a m arket for his surplus. The Whig T ariff was, h o w ever passed —eveiy thing took a change—the business of the country was a t once set in active employment— and from that time to the present, nothing but public and individual prosperity has been seen. Such is the experience of every one—and there fore the efforts of the political cormorauts to re move, b y the overthrow o f the Tariff, the cause of our prosperity. A TABLE Showing the W hig and Locofoco vote in the dif ferent towns o f Cayuga Couuty at the P resi dential E lection of 1844, and a tthe E lection for delegates to the StateConvention A pril 28,1846, and also showing the falling off, in each town, of the Whig and Locofoco vote in April 1846, as compared w ith the P residential E lection in 1844. “ I don’t m uch like the looks of those clouds in the W est’ard, sir,” said L . to the Captain, after they had both attentively regarded their appear ance for some time. “ ’Tis au ugly place for squallsabout these latitudes, aud I ’m much deceiv ed if w e don’t have our hands full before mor ning.” “ You are right, sir,” replied the Commander, as lie turned to go to his cabin, “ have all hands called sir, close reef the fore, m ain, and mizzen top-sails, haul up the coursers, brail up the spank er, haul down the jib, and hoist the fore top-mast stay sail.\ In a moment the loud shrill pipes o f the boat swain and his mates resounded through the frig ate, followed by the startling order “ all hands reef top-sails!” AU was now liurry and bustle. The officer of the deck surrendered the trum p et to the first L ieutenant, w ho, ascending the poop i-oared lorth his orders to the startled crew in a voice of thunder—the distended canvass was quickly gathered into a smaller compass, and the men again quietly settled themselves to their old pursuits, so habituated do they become to scenes of excitement aud peril. It has b een recorded that N ero fiddled w heu princely Rome w as w rap ped in flumes, and although I cannot vouch for t he veracity of the charge, I can testify to tiie fact of sailors playing dominos, w hile surrounded by perils from which unaccustomed hearts would shrink, and to their going below for a chew of tobacco, w hile the topmasts w ere goiug over the side for a tornado. The squall was now evidently approaching us with lightning rapidity—a line o f white almost dazzling to the vision marked its course along the tortured ocean—a loud, moaniug, rushing sound came borne to our ears—the scud flew m eteor like, wildly along the cold, grey sky, and in a moment it struck us ! The ship trem bled in every plank, for one breathless instant cowered beneath it^ bowing so low that h er main yard almost dipped in the sea, then, rising again, she swung h er huge stem to the fierce hurricane, and with h er rent canvass streaming from her great black yards, darted away over the w h ite foaming w aters like a frightened sea gull. It w as an awful, b u t mag nificent sight. The whole surface of the oceau soou roused to fury by the blast seemed ou fire, aud the frigate appeared to be cleaving h er rapid course through billows o f flame that hissed and dashed around us iu every direction. This phos phorescent appearance of the ocean during a storm, is by naturalists attributed to the presence of animalculae substances in its waters, which, when roused by a heavy breeze o f wind, emit their light like glow worms. being a high spirited fellow, aud meeting w it tyrauuical treatm ent on board his ship, he deter mined to leave h e r and settle himself a t Juan F e r nandez. H e could scarcely have chosen a more eligible o r beautiful location. The island is situ ated in the latitude o f about 33° South, and only about three hundred miles distant from the coast of Chili. The climate is m ild aud salubrious, and game is plentiful in all the foreBts. Fish o f al most every kind also abound iu all the bays and creeks, and the goats are so tame and gentle that they w ill 6taud q u iet and b e milked b y the hand of a stranger! Cowper, o r some o th er o f the English Poets, has depicted S elkirk as bemoan ing his lot, b u t others w ho have h ad opportuni ties of knowing more about the matter, assert that h e spent his time happily, and that all he want- ed to complete his bliss -was a good wife. There certainly would be sometliing very poetic and romantic in the idea of a lond aud loving couple isolated from the cold w orld, aud spending their lives for the happiness o f each other, on a little flowery island amid the b lue waves of the lone Pacific,; b u t I am inclined to b elieve that such a mode of life w ould soon w eary b y its sameness and monotony, and that persons so situated, would at length pine for th e scenes of th eir child hood. The Island at this time is in possesion o f the Chilian Government, and why so fertile, lovely and blooming a spot lias remained so long w ith out inhabitants, I leave for w iser heads than mine to determine. Romance in h e r gaudiest apparel here claims a home, and cold must b e that heart to gentle emotions, that w ould wish to drive h er Irom h er chosen spot. The trees seem more mu- sical as tbe evening breeze sigbs amid tbeir bran ches, than, the trees o f other lajids, the streams as they hurry along their channels to greet the main, seem far b righter than o th er streams, and their songs are all of Poor old Robinson Cru soe ! ” Some o f the most gaudy and beautiful flowers ever beheld, I saw springing spoutaneously from the soil o f Juan Fernandez. Tho very air seems scented w ith their breath, and every green wood is continually resounding w ith the music of th e feathered choirs. W ere I to choose a spot ou which to spend m y days as a hermit, that lonely sea girt isle” would b e my choice. But how vain the wish for u tter solitude! Let us seek the most lonely spot on earth, still compan ions are there, and we search in vain for the bau ble. To me, there is companionship in the trees, the stars, and winds of evening often far dearer than that of human kind. The w andering streams have voices far sweeter than that o f fair est m aiden, and they u tter a language which is revealed to me. Solitude! how vain, how idle to seek it where even the air w e respire is filled w ith invisible b u t angel forms, w hose soft voices are ever sounding in our ears, did we b u t listen! Let no man seek for u tter solitude, let him b e up and doing for the good o f his kind, let him place his lamp in such a position that its light may shine upon the pathway of some lonely and be nighted one ero its oil b e spent, and let him re member ° Art ia long;, and time is fleeting, And our hearts though stout mid brave, Still, like muffled drums are bentiug, Funeral marches to the grave 1” INGRATITUDES. W hen tbe city of Utica got such a prodigious start in the world as to b e able to talk face to face with the Capital, she imagined h erself to b e some body ; and all the country w e s t o f h e r, having, all at once, become dependent upon h e r for its daily mental sustenance, imagined the same thing;— and even Syracuse, h e r rival in claims for C a p i' tol honors, made an humble curtsy to such transcendant importance, and gratefully acknow ledged her superiority.

An A lbany paper, in reference to some action of the Legislature in regard to adjournment, ex presses the “ hope that no one o f the honorable members w ill leave A lbany, without first paying his w asher-woman, as many o f th e ir predecessors had done.\ A ,m o st timely and p roper caution certainly, if all b e true, that the H u n k er and Barnburner Honorable* have said o f each other iff the Senate and A ssembly the p resent session. For lour long houre did the ship fly before the furious tempest, pursued by the flame-colored A lp like waves, w hich cast their weird, spectral and mysterious light upon the crowded decks, when the gale began to abate, and as the sun rose bright and red from his b lu e couch, there, b u t two or three miles distant, towered a bright green lofty island from amid the wilderness of waves, and smiled upon the d esert waste around. I t w a s t h e i s l a n d o f R o b i n s o n C u u s o e ! In my earliest boyhood I had hung entranced over the pages of D e F oe , aud oft had busy Faucy transported me to the far distant isle where the lonely eremite used to “ Leave his man Friday To keep his house tidy, Because ’twas his duty to do so, Where he left his man Friday, To keep his house tidy, Poor old Robinson Crusoe !” It was not now with Fancy's eye that I beheld that lonely aud far-famed spot. There it lay amid tho b right waters of the great Pacific, as green and b right as w hen S elkirk roamed its uninhab ited shores, and there the fragrant wild-flowers bloomed as gaily as in days gone by. There too the b right cascades leaped from their juttiug crags, and w ith joyous, endless laughter chased each o th er down their rocky paths toward the ocean. The green trees waved their branches in the cool, luxurious breeze, and the forests resound ed with the music of m yriad birds “ who scarcely yet had learned the fear of m an.” It was w ith unrepressed joy that we learned that the C aptain and Commodore had decided to anchor for a short time, and that an opportunity would b e given for us to visit the almost classic spot. About noon, w e ran the frigate close in un der a high bluff and the anchor w as let go in thir ty-five fathoms o f water. One o f the proudest moments o f m y life, was when X first set m y feet on the Island of Juan Fernandez. I t was a fair, golden skied afternoon in June, the waterB were sparkling in the sun beams, “ aud the lark’s shrill song rung high.”— I instantly separated from m y light-hearted com panions, and striking into a narrow pathway, w ent rambling over the whole Island. Not a single person inhabited the lonely b u t lovely spot—it was as silent and d eserted as in the days o f C m - soe. But gentle, brigbt-eyed quadrupeds o f a tropical clime came frisking and playing round, and gleaning some nuts from b eneath a tree, they gathered about me and fearlessly plucked them from m y h alf closed h a n d ! Grave, aged goats, with their long gray beards sweeping tbe grouud, and w ith looks almost human, came to and rub bed their sides against m y legs, and caressed me in their friendly b u t uncouth manner, aud looked upon m e with amazement and w ith wondering eyes! No w onder, for I was in all probability the first human being they had ever beheld. The island w as once, a longtim e ago, a place o f ban ishment for C hilian convicts, b u t an American brig happening to call there, in the dead of the night, the prisoners rose, got a boat, pulled off to the vessel, turned the C aptain and crew on shore, weighed the anchor, loosed aud hoisted the sails, and from that hour to this, nothing has b een head of the b rig or of the convicts! The Captain aud his xnen managed to leave the island b y some means, and since that time it has rem ained unin habited. I looked about for some traces o f Sel kirk s abode, h u t w as unable to discover any thing except the initials o f his name, which the self-exile had left carved w ith some sharp instru m ent in a huge rock overhanging the sea. Sel kirk, it w ill be rem em bered, was Sailing M aster of one o f the vessels which composed. L o rd A n son’s fleet, during his voyage o f discovery, and W e w ith pleasure call the attention of our citi zens to the following favor from a correspondent. The name here chosen for the projected B urying Place, would be, under tho cirsumstances re ferred to, highly appropriate,—as w ell as in itself soft mid euphonious in the extrem e. OSCO CEM E T E R Y . Mr. Hatch of New York, the proprietor o f the ground upon w hich the “ Osco” fortifications are situated, has arrived iu company w ith Major Douglass to lay o u t a Cemetery on this ground under the provisious of an Act of the Legislature. It is not a little strange that this antiquated und should have been so long neglected. For half a century it has remained a strolling ground for boys and idlers, w hen, w ith a little attention and adornment, it could have been made one of the most charming retreats for a summer drive or promenade—a sequestered shade—or consecrated grouud—more picturesque, romantic, beautiful, than any other iu the vicinity. The time has come, however, when there is a prospost o f some thing being done to preserve the present grounds from further depredations and to enrich it w ith choice green-wood, and collections o f floral beau ty. The Artist employed has a celebrity which warrants confidence iu his ability to draw out the natural beauties of the headlands, ravines aud dells, and by adapting the pathways to the bend ings and w indings of the ra vines and promontories, can render Fort-Hill the object of general atten tion, admiration and interest. As archeological science progresses in this country these ancient m ounds become more and more interesting. One hundred years ago there w ere y e t lingering upon that hill the ancestors of Logan. Who w ere they 7 The Cayugas—one of the six nations composing the confederacy o f the Iroquois, the m ost powerful confederacy of the ab origines th at ever existed. And did the Iroquois build this fortification ? N o : they found it here —andsaid thatit w as not buil t in th eir day, nor after the white man (Columbus) came across tbe big w ater from the rising sun. It was not o f their genius—That it w as some w ise people w ho erected it, aud ever disclaimed it as a work o f their own. Logan, the C hieftain o f the Cayugas, after he re moved to the Ohio valley, iu one o f his speeches iu a council of the Cayugas, referred to the wise people who had preceded them. The Ononda- gas, w ho claim that they once lived in the C her okee country, have the name o f this fortification among them as “ Osco.” They say it referred to the crossings of the creek on stepping stones, above the falls n ear Clarksville a t first, b u t was subsequently applied to the fortification alluded to. W hether the name is a coinage of the Iroquois is not yet k n o w n ; b u t enough is known to deter mine that it w as b u ilt b y the same nation w ho erected tbe mounds in the Mississippi and Ohio valleys, and in w estern New York. It is the tor- minus o f a series of fortifications beginning in the valley o f the Mississippi and extending up the Ohio eastward, and it is supposed that the Iro quois w ere on the trail of these builders. The New York Historical Society have determined that these m ound-builders w ere fhe “ Allcghans,” who about the twelfth century were a confed erated people and erected these fortifications for defence against a pursuing enem y — that the pursuit was northward—that the Iroquois moved in the same direction, and therefore it is presumed, in the absence o f other testimony to the contrary, that the Iroquois were the enemy in pursuit o f the Alleghans. De this as i t may, the fortification is itself a monument o f an ancient people w ho occupied the country auterior to the confederation of the Iroquois, and if it w ere they who w ere ia pursuit, the traditionary name may have come to them from the enemy, i. e. the A l leghans. If that be so, (and it is fair to presume it,) then the aboriginal name should b e tbe defini tive appellation of the ground. Osco, therefore, is associated w ith m atters o f m ore historical in ter est than any C emetery in the Union, and to p er m it it to be neglected is a disregard o f antiquity that is n o t creditable to tbis people. Messrs. Hatch and Douglass w ill find an am ple field for tbeir commendable enterprise, and the inhabit ants o f Auburn will view tbeir movements w ith intense interest a t each successive step o f its pro gress. The w ant o f some such object o f interest in this village w ill ensure those gentlemen the countenance and cooperation of every right- minded citizen. * * FORT H ILL. The forest glades and eminences—the sunny vales and lonely dells—the woody steeps, shady nooks and mossy banks, o f “ Osco Cem etery,” (w e say Osco Cemetery, because there have m oul dered the bones of m any an A lleghan and Iroquois warrior) have ever, in the season o f b irds and flowers, been sought b y those, who d elight to shake from their feet the dust o f the crowded street o r busy mart, and wander where n ature has lavished b e r beauties in richestjprofosion and in loveliest contrasts. Now, -when nature is p u tting on lier green liv- ery, and is redolent w ith music, beauty and per fume, and when one o f her most favored spots is about to become h allowed to the living, as a city of the dead, its w ild aud beautiful haunts will ftt* tract m ony a footstep that has n ever trod them b e fore—its silence, hitherto seldom disturbed except by its own sweet m usic, w ill b e broken b y m any a voice that never echoed there before—and the song o f the bird, the insect’s hum, aud the zeph yr's w hisper, oftener than ever, w ill b e interrupt ed by the joyous shout, tho m erry laugh, o r tho tender sigh. All -will have an irresistible desire to look upon so many natural beauties—heightened as they are by such rare historical associations—and now g ade to have a higher charm and still m ore at tractive interest, b y the sacred use to w hich they are about to be consecrated—and we doubt n o t but F o rt H ill (or Osco ?) cem etery w ill at once, and in anticipation, become a chief place of p u b ” lie attraction. And w e have already beard of more than one fair lover o f nature, w ho has ex pressed a determination, on some one o f these laughing days of May, either w ith or w ithout tho aid of a manly arm, to climb to its loftiest sum- mitsxmd to descend to its deepest dells. * M EXICO. If the last accounts from E ngland a re peace ful, those from Mexico are decidedly warlike— and the very last account, w hich is from W ash ington by the New York Herald, (a very suspi cious medium by the way,) states that a b attle has b een fought b etw een Gen. T aylor’s army and the Mexican forces, and in which the former w as beaten and had 700 killed. W h ether this b e true or not, there is probably some foundation for the rumor. All the accounts evince a critical state of affairs a t the Rio G rande. W e do not believe that it has been the inten tion of either the Mexican or United States gov ernment to make the first aggression. Indeed, both governments have disclaimed any such in tention. Ours does n o t deem the movement of its troops to the Rio G rande in the light o f an ag gression. And it may, w e think, b e legitimately inferred from certain documents, emanating from the Mexican government, that that government would not consider such a movement such an ag gression as to justify an attack or a declaration of war. But w as that movement a w ise one 7—ivas it prudent policy ou the p a rt o f this Government, under all circumstances, to order Gen. T aylor to establish himself ou the left bank of the Rio Grande, w h en a fortified city, with an army, double the force o f his in number, occupied tho right bauk, w ithin sight. There could not have been much danger o f an invasion of T exas by a Mexican army. Mexico, with lier poverty,her dissensions,her m onarchical, republican and annexation factions, h er constant apprehension of insurrection aud revolution, had enough to occupy h er at home. If any thing could bring unity and harmony out of such anarchy and chaos, it w ould be a United States army on the Rio G rande. And not- withstmiding h er anarchy and chaos, Mexico has been able to send to Metamoras an army o f some 5,000 to 7,000 strong. Such juxta-position o f two hostile armies could not long continue, however great the precaution of their respective leaders m ig ht be, without tho occurrence of some incident, some event, that would lead to an explosion. Accordingly, as w e have seen, one o f o u r officers, Col. Cross, has been,as w as supposed, captured by the Mexicans, and at the last dates had not been heard of. Such an event m ight w ell lead to hostilities. W e have had accounts too o f numerous desertions from Gen. T aylor’s army. W e have been astounded w ith the intelligence that G en. W orth, one o f th e bravest, most experienced and popular officers o f the army,—one too, w ho perhaps more than any other possessed the confidence o f tbe country, had, oil account o f what h e believed to b e somo violation of m ilitaiy etiquette iu regard to his rank, resigned. And lastly w e have rum or of battle and d efeat! There may b e no truth in this rumor, b u t the condition o f things a t the “ seat of w ar ” m ig ht w ell lead to so disgraceful a result. Aud if o u r army o f 3,000 men has been beaten by a Mexican army o f twice o r thrice its number, after the high boasts it has m ade of its own prow ess, aud after all the ridicule and contumely it has heaped upon the Mexican arms, w e 6hall b e the laughing stock o f the civilized world ; to say nothing of the momentous consequences that m ust inevitably result from w h at the whole nap tion will believe to be an a c t o f the most egre gious folly ou tbe p a rt o f this government. * As a party o f young ladies w ere taking a w a for the purpose of viewing the Falls, n ear WateJ* town, N .
