Bat a few years ago our ears were stunned Tfilh the cry that this was a hard money Gov- ernoieat. Bag-money, as it was called, was denounced untill the vocabulary of abuse was exhausted. Banks were hunted down like road dogs because they manufactured and emitted paper-money, which, it "was said, ¦was unknown to the Constitution. The U. S. Bank was bitterly assailed as the chief of¬ fender, for it not only put forth rags for cir- cnlatipni but did so to sucVi a degree as to UDKltle the value of property by its eipan- sionB of the currency.—Il was said that gold anii silver were the only true constitutional ¦tandard of value, and that whenever you substitute any oiher currency in lien of lhem; you gave a fictitious value to properly which led to revulsions in business, &c. These ar¬ gumenta were stereotyped and rehearsed in every form and shape that human ingenuity could devise, from 1840 to 1844. The Sub- treasury was to be the great cure foi all Ihese evils.—That [ejected all paper-money, and dealt only in hard money, gold and silver— the <»nslilutional currency. Well the democrats got into power. Tliey defeated the establishment of a national Bank by their intrigues with John Tyler. They le-enacted the Sub-treasury, which repu¬ diated all piper-money. This bill took effect on the lst of January, 1847. And what do we now see within less than one monlh after the hard-money law goes into effect! The very Congreas which passed it authorises the Government to become a great Kag-Bank! —a regular paper-money-making-inachine 1 ¦with power to llood the country with Twenty- Eight Millions of Treasury .Notes, which are nothing more than paper-money of the vrorat kind ! They are very near akin to the contioenlal money ! Bank Notes are issued upon the responsibility of gold and silver. which is kept in the vaults to redeem them- Bat where is the specie lo redeem theso Treas¬ ury Notes. What, too, has become of the constitution¬ al scraples about r.ig-moiiey ! 'Where is the nwlallic currency ? Whiiher have tho ap¬ prehensions about inflating the money-market and unsettling the value of propeity fied ! We are upon the eve of a great monetary crisis, and it behooves all men to be piudent. The emission of twenty-eight millions of pa¬ por in the form of Treasury NoteS; and the l^rga importations of gold and silver neces. sary to pay forthe breadstuffs required to support tlte starving population of Europe. jnost lead to a vast augmentation in the amount of money circulation. This, for a while, will make times easy, and canse a fopltl advance in the prices of properly. A pild spirit of speculation wiil be likely to en¬ sue, but the causes of the apparent prosperity ar* temporary in their character and must «oon pass away, and than a revulsion wiil take placo which will shake socieiy to its centre. Our advice to all is '• be cautious—make no heavy engagements founded upon tha idea that the slate of things which is now ap- pioachine is lo continne. Seize the present advantages—avail youraelves of lhe opporlnni- ties whioh high prices will afford toget out of debt] and when you get out, keep oai'. and .' let np wild spirit of speculation entice you in¬ to dangerous adventures." .tlemen. composing the Democratic parly in this Chamber to trammel this vote nt ihanks .with such a proviso as the same parly has annexed to it in tbe other House, 1 think ihat determination is deeply to be deplored, on aceaunl of ils moral effect on the country, and especially on the army itself. After three days of bard fighting in which our gal¬ lant regulars and volunteers crowned them¬ selves with imperifhable honor, after more ihan five hnndred of those brave men laid weliering in their blood, and our actual fiiiht- iii'g force had been reduced below five thoui¬ and men, wilh only three days provisions lefl to lhem, while the enemy Btill remaned at least ten thousand .strong, covered and pro¬ tected by stone walla and Ihe strongest forti¬ fications, with ample supplies, forty pieces ol arliilery, and abandance of other aims and ammunition, il is still the subject of actual complaint wilh some persons in Ihis Chamber, that onr troops did not make piisoners of lhe whole Me.\ican army—but preferred lo ac- cepi lhe surrender of the city, which was the object of atlack, on condition that the Jble-ii- cans should march off leaving behind lhem the greater part of their arlilleiy, arms ami supplies for the defence of Ihe placo. Whai could the American army have done with 10,- 000 prisoners ? The correspondence on the subject now proves Ihat had General Taylor refused to ac¬ cept those lernis of surrender proposed by General Ampudia, he would have been com¬ pelled to carry the Main Plaza, fortified and mirrisoned by the Mexican army of twice their nnmTjers, by sloriii, in which the cili¬ zens of Monterey, with their wives, and daughters, and infants, would bave been by the usages of war, the victims of the horrible itssanlt. General Taylor tells you that he sought to spare the helpless womeu and chil¬ dren of his conquered enemies — Ihat he sonsht to save the needless effusion of human blood, which had already fiowed like water in Ihe streets of Ihal unhappy city, ihal he sought to save the lives of hundretis of our daring soldiers, and even the lives of his humbled foe, by accepting terms which pre¬ vented tho horrors of a sacA- and a slorni.'— Yet the gentlemen still are not satisfied.— They insist upon il, that the horrors of the storm should have been encouiitfred, and they will refuse lo thank General Taylor and his troops for all lheir se.-vices and all their sufferings, unless ihese genllemen can, at the same lime, brand him for the e.vercTse of the greatest of all his many viilues—humanity itself! The complaint againsi him is, that 'the gates of mercy weie not aii shut up,' and that he did not lel loose " The Hushed soldier—roagh an.l hnrd of henrl— In liheny of hl.iody tialid, If. ranee Wilh conscience w ide ns hell; ranwing like grass. Their fresh-fair virgins and llieir Itowering iiifaiils." Neither General Taylor, nor any other Gen¬ eral that ever liveil, could control an enraged and unbridled soldiery in the storm of a sack¬ ed city. All hnman experience proves, that in such a time of blood, pillage and conflaara- tion as inevitably allends lhe fate of a city thus taken ; both parties are alike disgraced and dishonored by the accumulated horrors of the scene. I say, therefore, that, from the bollom of my soul, I thank the brave, gener¬ ous and merciful commander of lhe Ameri¬ can troops. I thank him, sir, not only for his gallantry and skill—his conduct and bravery, but eminently, and above ail other considera¬ tions, as an American Senaior, 1 thank him for his humaniiy ! I honor hira becanse he ihought of, and spared, feeble and unoffend¬ ing woman ill that hour of Iter utmost peril. I honor him because lie apared loitering age and hel(,-lees infancy, and I glory that an American General has shown himaelf ihus alive to the best feelings of human naiure. The annals of war scarcely furnish a par¬ allel to the viclory of Taylor at Monterey.— And if after all liiat waa accomplished by your intrepid warriors in that bloody sliuggle, you shall choose lo accompany your vote of thanks wilh a proviso disappioving of the termsof mercy extended by your General to the enemy, your soldiers will in futute under¬ stand from that declaration, that they are nev¬ er to expect tho Ihanks oftheir country for anj-act, however glorious in other respects, unless they can present themselves red-hand¬ ed and reeking wilh carnage, wiihout su.spi cion of restraint from any generous or merci¬ ful considcralion. The American soldier will thus bs lolil that he is no longer to have any regard for the safety of woman or child in ballle, no seniiment uf humanity lor the van- quisliedj no regard even for lho lives of his valliantcomrades inarms. " Vae Tictis" is to be inscribed on ourbanners, and men are lo start with horror al the reappearance of our bloody stripes and stars. Let not Congress thosieachour soldiers that clemency is not by us considerd as a viriue. At least, I, for one, will teach them nosuch lessons. I will give no '-bloody instrnctions which return to plague the hiventor''—and [ ag.oin repeat it, that I honor General Taylor, if possible, even more for the terms of this capitulation and the humanity di.'plaj'cd by hira, ihan for his distinguished bravery and generalship, or his almost unexampled succesa in batlle. Sir, nc side blow like this from the party in power, can affect the reputation oi General Taylor. Adopt your odious proviso—with¬ hold the just meed of praise from the gallant veteran and his noble army, and he will not stand the less secure in the affections of the American people. Tho brave old warrior is entrenched in the hearts of his countrymen.— They have not forgotten Palo Alto and Re.ieca de la Paima, and they nevet will forget them. Taylor is the soldier of his country, Tbe Morals of War. While we wonld Hot say a word in dispar¬ agement of the Volunteers to JVIexico as a whole, it is impossible to shut onr eyes to the fact that the condact of 'a laige portion ol them, as well before they reach the seat ol war as aflerwards, has been most disgraceful to tbemselves and dishonoring to the charac¬ ter oftho nation; and, for ono, we heartily re¬ joice that a majority of Congress has deter¬ mined to augment the Regular army rather than to make another cali.for 'Volunteers; among whom lhe elements of insubordina¬ tion are always rife, ready to be called into action upon the slightest pretexts. A rare inslance of this tendency has just ocourred in Norlb Carolina. The company from Howan county, which was the first to report hsell and be received, has disbanded, and cannoi be again broughi logeiher—and anoiher, com¬ posed it seems altogether of locofocos, from Mecklenburg, has unanimously refused to be mustered iuto service, because, of the three lield officers appointed by lhe Governor, two two of them are Whigs; and it has indignant¬ ly sont back lo the Governor of the Slate ils poriion of tbe fund voted bythe Legislalure for their equipment and subsistence until mustered into the U. S. service, because the preamble lo the resolution asserted lhe histor¬ ical fact that the war was brought on by the President's order to march our forces from Corpus Chrisli lo the Rio Grande! Such men may make good soldiers—but it is evident that they will always be an unsafe reliance, unless the Government and ils commanding officers shall have everything in "apple-pie order," according to tlieir own notions. The officers musl beail to their own t.isto, and ihey must be especiaiiy carei'ul to adapt their phrases lo the poetical creed of these sensi¬ tive gentlemen ! The lasl New Orleans Courier brings us tbe following account of flagrant outrages per¬ petrated by some of the volunteers now in ihat cily: "On Friday evening one of lhe volunteers fired a pislni-ball al lhe conductor of the Mexican Railcars, which came iicHr giving him a fatal wound.

Feb. 10 2 11 Slietiff's Sft\c8. SPEECH OF JOHN M. CLAYTON, Onthe Vote of Ti'.anks to General Taylor. Mr. John M. Clayton said 'bat lhe Senator from Arkansas (Mr. Sevier) seemed now to be reconciled to the striking out the proviso which withholds lhe approbation of Congiess in reference to the capitulation of Morderey. But, (said he) I regret very much that lbe houorable Senator, in the course of his re¬ marka, had thought proper upon an occasion *¦ On whose brighi crest Fame, wilh her U.udesl oh yes, chids Tnis 13 he I" He is lhe favorite of the people, the mililary hero of whom all arc juslly proud. I leil honorable genllemen here, that it is not in lheir power (and I trust they wiil not have so liule discretion as to altempi it.) tosiialchone sprig, from the ciustt-nng laurels whieh adorn the brave old veteran's brow. BusikEss E.soage.mexts.—They are of far more imporlance than people generaliy sup¬ pose. By n,en who are thrifty and success¬ ful in making money, they arc always prompt¬ ly attended to; and when you knowa man to be in a constant stale of excitement, and tllways ¦' hard pushed" for lhe '¦'dollars need- fa! ' yPit fiil.iy be sure that he seldom keeps an ensiagement. ^fomPtHPSs in keeping them , - „ . . - and aot competition, is the life of bgijiReES,— like this, when we are about to pass a vole of QUen have we known a poor honest man thanks to our gallant army and its comman der, to talk of the " Whig side" and the " Democratic side" of the chamber, as if thera were a necessity for party divisions in regard to a subject so entirely national in ils cMracter. It remains to be seen whether gentlemen on the opposite side of the cham¬ ber are not as prompl to return thanks to our .gallant soldiers as those on this side of the aiiete. The honorable Senator was mistakea, I think, iu his gn-eeping remark that the whole matter of the capitulation of the Mex¬ icans at Monterey, as it was accepted by Gen. Taylor, liad been disapproved by the Depart¬ ment of War. The Piesident had, indeed, thraugh that Department, disapproved the arr tnistice, and directed Gen. Taylor to termi¬ nate it, and the General had done so in obedi¬ enco lo the orderhe hadreceived. Subsequent events have shewn the wisdom on our pait, bolh of the capitulation and the armistice, as . ^reed npou by the hostile commanders.— -Ourexhausted troops obiained rest and lime to improve their viclory, aud add to their lim¬ ited supplies. And at last, when the Execu- " live order to lerminaie the armistice was rc- ' teived and made known to the Mexican com- ¦¦ niander, there remained but four days of tliat armistice unexpired, during which no hostile movement was made or conld have been made on either side. No injury is pretended Jfl have arisen from the armistice, and aa to Jhe tSnns of capitulation, if the Department "dljlipptoved of thero, there was a want of establish his credit merely by soing to dine with his friend at lhe appointed h"t"'; and we have known more than one business ratiu IP lose his credit by thinking more of liis cigar than the engagements he has made. tom, of two 01 three of tlie cars, answerins; the demand for payment wilh apisiol-ball, as we have stated. " On Satnrday , a more dismal affair look place. About 6i o'clock, in lhe evening ol ihat day, several volnuteerswent to the caba- rel and grocery of Mr. Claude Marlin, wiihii. lhe parish of S.t Bernard, nearthe line ofihat of New Orleans. Marlin who is upwards ol 50 years of age, was behind his counter, and asked if ihey wanied any thing. On their saying no, he commenced passing into an adjacent room, where his wile lay sick;but he was struck with a pistol-ball 'and fell to the around, shot through the iieart. There were Ihree or four negroes present, who declare that the man wlu tired the shot instantiy lied." But, outrageous ns these scenes are, ihay arc ihrown into lho shade by those described in lhe following letier from Ihe Correspondent of^ the New Orleans I'icayune, wriling from the camp al Cen alvo, in Mexico, on lho 4lh of January: I must devote one paragraph to a subject lbat I liave too long neglected to allndc to, and one lbat lias given me great pain during my whole slay in .Mexico; I mean the disrepu¬ table conduct of some of llie volunteer troops. Below Mior, we met thc 2nd Regiment of In¬ diana troops, commanded, 1 believe, by Col. Drake. They encamped near our camp, and a portion of lhem were exceedingly ir- recular in theii behaviour, firing away their cartriges, and persecuting the Mexican fami¬ lies at a rancho near by. They were on their return from near Monterey, where they had gone conlrary to order, and where they had received positive orders to go back to the month of the Rio Grande. A large por¬ tion of their officers were behuid and the men were left to do pretty much a.s they pleased. On arriving at Mier, we learned fiom iiidispulable authority liiat this same regiment had commitled, lhe day before, oul- rages against the citizens of lhe most dis- sraceful cbaracler;—stealing, or raiher rolt ing, insulting the women, breaking into, hoiis- e..i, and other feats of a similar character !— We hav.' heard of them at almost every ran¬ cho, up to this place. Al Cerralvo, are two companies of an Ohio regiment, (Col. Mor- can's Regiini'iil) lo garrison the place. Gen. Taylor has issued proclamations. assHrinsthe inhabitants of the towns in the conquered ter¬ ritory that ihey should be prolecled and well treated by oor troops. Since this place has been garrisoned by our volunteers the fami¬ lies have been subjected to ali kinds of out¬ rages. Al Punta Aguila it has been the same; and most of tbose who could go, have left their homes. Some have faiien into the hands of the Camanches, whilst flying from the persecutions of onr volunteer troops. Re¬ cently the people have received treatment from itien stationed here, (1 do not know who '•'commands" them,) that negroes in a state of insurrection would hardly be guilty of.— The women have been repeatedly violated; (almost an every-day affair) houses broken open, and insults of every kind have been of¬ fered 10 Ihose whom ice are bound by honor to protect. This is noihing moro than a state¬ ment of facts. I have no lime to make com. menls, but 1 desiro to have this published, and I have written it under the approval of Capt. Thornton; Maj. Di.v, Capt. DeHart, Col. Bohlen, Ll. Thorn, Mr. Blanchard and my sense of duty, and I am determined, hereal¬ ier, to notice every serious offence of the above mentioned naiure. The American arms shall not be disgraced withnut the stiii- ma falling on the gnilty parties, if I can be inslrumenlal in e.xposing ih^m. It would be criminal in me to overlook these outrages, and, fnr the sake of our national honor, as well as for that of lhe U. S. Army, I shall not do so." No American can read these statements, of the trplh of whicl) there c^n he no.doubt, without an emotion of mingled shame and indignation. But such are " the morals of war," and not tfte Jefisl, ceriainly, of ita cala¬ mitous eflecis.

Tbe Government Paper-SIili.
Bat a few years ago our ears were stunned Tfilh the cry that this was a hard money Gov- ernoieat. Bag-money, as it was called, was denounced untill the vocabulary of abuse was exhausted. Banks were hunted down like road dogs because they manufactured and emitted paper-money, which, it "was said, ¦was unknown to the Constitution. The U. S. Bank was bitterly assailed as the chief of¬ fender, for it not only put forth rags for cir- cnlatipni but did so to sucVi a degree as to UDKltle the value of property by its eipan- sionB of the currency.—Il was said that gold anii silver were the only true constitutional ¦tandard of value, and that whenever you substitute any oiher currency in lien of lhem; you gave a fictitious value to properly which led to revulsions in business, &c. These ar¬ gumenta were stereotyped and rehearsed in every form and shape that human ingenuity could devise, from 1840 to 1844. The Sub- treasury was to be the great cure foi all Ihese evils.—That [ejected all paper-money, and dealt only in hard money, gold and silver— the <»nslilutional currency.
Well the democrats got into power. Tliey defeated the establishment of a national Bank by their intrigues with John Tyler. They le-enacted the Sub-treasury, which repu¬ diated all piper-money. This bill took effect on the lst of January, 1847. And what do we now see within less than one monlh after the hard-money law goes into effect! The very Congreas which passed it authorises the Government to become a great Kag-Bank! —a regular paper-money-making-inachine 1 ¦with power to llood the country with Twenty- Eight Millions of Treasury .Notes, which are nothing more than paper-money of the vrorat kind ! They are very near akin to the contioenlal money ! Bank Notes are issued upon the responsibility of gold and silver. which is kept in the vaults to redeem them- Bat where is the specie lo redeem theso Treas¬ ury Notes.
What, too, has become of the constitution¬ al scraples about r.ig-moiiey ! 'Where is the nwlallic currency ? Whiiher have tho ap¬ prehensions about inflating the money-market and unsettling the value of propeity fied !
We are upon the eve of a great monetary crisis, and it behooves all men to be piudent. The emission of twenty-eight millions of pa¬ por in the form of Treasury NoteS; and the l^rga importations of gold and silver neces. sary to pay forthe breadstuffs required to support tlte starving population of Europe. jnost lead to a vast augmentation in the amount of money circulation. This, for a while, will make times easy, and canse a fopltl advance in the prices of properly. A pild spirit of speculation wiil be likely to en¬ sue, but the causes of the apparent prosperity ar* temporary in their character and must «oon pass away, and than a revulsion wiil take placo which will shake socieiy to its centre.
Our advice to all is '• be cautious—make no heavy engagements founded upon tha idea that the slate of things which is now ap- pioachine is lo continne. Seize the present advantages—avail youraelves of lhe opporlnni- ties whioh high prices will afford toget out of debt] and when you get out, keep oai'. and .' let np wild spirit of speculation entice you in¬ to dangerous adventures."
.tlemen. composing the Democratic parly in this Chamber to trammel this vote nt ihanks .with such a proviso as the same parly has annexed to it in tbe other House, 1 think ihat determination is deeply to be deplored, on aceaunl of ils moral effect on the country, and especially on the army itself. After three days of bard fighting in which our gal¬ lant regulars and volunteers crowned them¬ selves with imperifhable honor, after more ihan five hnndred of those brave men laid weliering in their blood, and our actual fiiiht- iii'g force had been reduced below five thoui¬ and men, wilh only three days provisions lefl to lhem, while the enemy Btill remaned at least ten thousand .strong, covered and pro¬ tected by stone walla and Ihe strongest forti¬ fications, with ample supplies, forty pieces ol arliilery, and abandance of other aims and ammunition, il is still the subject of actual complaint wilh some persons in Ihis Chamber, that onr troops did not make piisoners of lhe whole Me.\ican army—but preferred lo ac- cepi lhe surrender of the city, which was the object of atlack, on condition that the Jble-ii- cans should march off leaving behind lhem the greater part of their arlilleiy, arms ami supplies for the defence of Ihe placo. Whai could the American army have done with 10,- 000 prisoners ?
The correspondence on the subject now proves Ihat had General Taylor refused to ac¬ cept those lernis of surrender proposed by General Ampudia, he would have been com¬ pelled to carry the Main Plaza, fortified and mirrisoned by the Mexican army of twice their nnmTjers, by sloriii, in which the cili¬ zens of Monterey, with their wives, and daughters, and infants, would bave been by the usages of war, the victims of the horrible itssanlt. General Taylor tells you that he sought to spare the helpless womeu and chil¬ dren of his conquered enemies — Ihat he sonsht to save the needless effusion of human blood, which had already fiowed like water in Ihe streets of Ihal unhappy city, ihal he sought to save the lives of hundretis of our daring soldiers, and even the lives of his humbled foe, by accepting terms which pre¬ vented tho horrors of a sacA- and a slorni.'— Yet the gentlemen still are not satisfied.— They insist upon il, that the horrors of the storm should have been encouiitfred, and they will refuse lo thank General Taylor and his troops for all lheir se.-vices and all their sufferings, unless ihese genllemen can, at the same lime, brand him for the e.vercTse of the greatest of all his many viilues—humanity itself! The complaint againsi him is, that 'the gates of mercy weie not aii shut up,' and that he did not lel loose
" The Hushed soldier—roagh an.l hnrd of henrl— In liheny of hl.iody tialid, If. ranee Wilh conscience w ide ns hell; ranwing like grass. Their fresh-fair virgins and llieir Itowering iiifaiils."
Neither General Taylor, nor any other Gen¬ eral that ever liveil, could control an enraged and unbridled soldiery in the storm of a sack¬ ed city. All hnman experience proves, that in such a time of blood, pillage and conflaara- tion as inevitably allends lhe fate of a city thus taken ; both parties are alike disgraced and dishonored by the accumulated horrors of the scene. I say, therefore, that, from the bollom of my soul, I thank the brave, gener¬ ous and merciful commander of lhe Ameri¬ can troops. I thank him, sir, not only for his gallantry and skill—his conduct and bravery, but eminently, and above ail other considera¬ tions, as an American Senaior, 1 thank him for his humaniiy ! I honor hira becanse he ihought of, and spared, feeble and unoffend¬ ing woman ill that hour of Iter utmost peril. I honor him because lie apared loitering age and hel(,-lees infancy, and I glory that an American General has shown himaelf ihus alive to the best feelings of human naiure.
The annals of war scarcely furnish a par¬ allel to the viclory of Taylor at Monterey.— And if after all liiat waa accomplished by your intrepid warriors in that bloody sliuggle, you shall choose lo accompany your vote of thanks wilh a proviso disappioving of the termsof mercy extended by your General to the enemy, your soldiers will in futute under¬ stand from that declaration, that they are nev¬ er to expect tho Ihanks oftheir country for anj-act, however glorious in other respects, unless they can present themselves red-hand¬ ed and reeking wilh carnage, wiihout su.spi cion of restraint from any generous or merci¬ ful considcralion. The American soldier will thus bs lolil that he is no longer to have any regard for the safety of woman or child in ballle, no seniiment uf humanity lor the van- quisliedj no regard even for lho lives of his valliantcomrades inarms. " Vae Tictis" is to be inscribed on ourbanners, and men are lo start with horror al the reappearance of our bloody stripes and stars. Let not Congress thosieachour soldiers that clemency is not by us considerd as a viriue. At least, I, for one, will teach them nosuch lessons. I will give no '-bloody instrnctions which return to plague the hiventor''—and [ ag.oin repeat it, that I honor General Taylor, if possible, even more for the terms of this capitulation and the humanity di.'plaj'cd by hira, ihan for his distinguished bravery and generalship, or his almost unexampled succesa in batlle.
Sir, nc side blow like this from the party in power, can affect the reputation oi General Taylor. Adopt your odious proviso—with¬ hold the just meed of praise from the gallant veteran and his noble army, and he will not stand the less secure in the affections of the American people. Tho brave old warrior is entrenched in the hearts of his countrymen.— They have not forgotten Palo Alto and Re.ieca de la Paima, and they nevet will forget them. Taylor is the soldier of his country,
Tbe Morals of War.
While we wonld Hot say a word in dispar¬ agement of the Volunteers to JVIexico as a whole, it is impossible to shut onr eyes to the fact that the condact of 'a laige portion ol them, as well before they reach the seat ol war as aflerwards, has been most disgraceful to tbemselves and dishonoring to the charac¬ ter oftho nation; and, for ono, we heartily re¬ joice that a majority of Congress has deter¬ mined to augment the Regular army rather than to make another cali.for 'Volunteers; among whom lhe elements of insubordina¬ tion are always rife, ready to be called into action upon the slightest pretexts. A rare inslance of this tendency has just ocourred in Norlb Carolina. The company from Howan county, which was the first to report hsell and be received, has disbanded, and cannoi be again broughi logeiher—and anoiher, com¬ posed it seems altogether of locofocos, from Mecklenburg, has unanimously refused to be mustered iuto service, because, of the three lield officers appointed by lhe Governor, two two of them are Whigs; and it has indignant¬ ly sont back lo the Governor of the Slate ils poriion of tbe fund voted bythe Legislalure for their equipment and subsistence until mustered into the U. S. service, because the preamble lo the resolution asserted lhe histor¬ ical fact that the war was brought on by the President's order to march our forces from Corpus Chrisli lo the Rio Grande! Such men may make good soldiers—but it is evident that they will always be an unsafe reliance, unless the Government and ils commanding officers shall have everything in "apple-pie order," according to tlieir own notions. The officers musl beail to their own t.isto, and ihey must be especiaiiy carei'ul to adapt their phrases lo the poetical creed of these sensi¬ tive gentlemen !
The lasl New Orleans Courier brings us tbe following account of flagrant outrages per¬ petrated by some of the volunteers now in ihat cily:
"On Friday evening one of lhe volunteers fired a pislni-ball al lhe conductor of the Mexican Railcars, which came iicHr giving him a fatal wound. Some of the volunteers had tnken possession, according to their cus-

SPEECH OF JOHN M. CLAYTON,
Onthe Vote of Ti'.anks to General Taylor. Mr. John M. Clayton said 'bat lhe Senator from Arkansas (Mr. Sevier) seemed now to be reconciled to the striking out the proviso which withholds lhe approbation of Congiess in reference to the capitulation of Morderey. But, (said he) I regret very much that lbe houorable Senator, in the course of his re¬ marka, had thought proper upon an occasion

like this, when we are about to pass a vole of QUen have we known a poor honest man
thanks to our gallant army and its comman der, to talk of the " Whig side" and the " Democratic side" of the chamber, as if thera were a necessity for party divisions in regard to a subject so entirely national in ils cMracter. It remains to be seen whether gentlemen on the opposite side of the cham¬ ber are not as prompl to return thanks to our .gallant soldiers as those on this side of the aiiete. The honorable Senator was mistakea, I think, iu his gn-eeping remark that the whole matter of the capitulation of the Mex¬ icans at Monterey, as it was accepted by Gen. Taylor, liad been disapproved by the Depart¬ ment of War. The Piesident had, indeed, thraugh that Department, disapproved the arr tnistice, and directed Gen. Taylor to termi¬ nate it, and the General had done so in obedi¬ enco lo the orderhe hadreceived. Subsequent events have shewn the wisdom on our pait, bolh of the capitulation and the armistice, as . ^reed npou by the hostile commanders.— -Ourexhausted troops obiained rest and lime to improve their viclory, aud add to their lim¬ ited supplies. And at last, when the Execu- " live order to lerminaie the armistice was rc- ' teived and made known to the Mexican com- ¦¦ niander, there remained but four days of tliat armistice unexpired, during which no hostile movement was made or conld have been made on either side. No injury is pretended Jfl have arisen from the armistice, and aa to Jhe tSnns of capitulation, if the Department "dljlipptoved of thero, there was a want of

tom, of two 01 three of tlie cars, answerins; the demand for payment wilh apisiol-ball, as we have stated.
" On Satnrday , a more dismal affair look place. About 6i o'clock, in lhe evening ol ihat day, several volnuteerswent to the caba- rel and grocery of Mr. Claude Marlin, wiihii. lhe parish of S.t Bernard, nearthe line ofihat of New Orleans. Marlin who is upwards ol 50 years of age, was behind his counter, and asked if ihey wanied any thing. On their saying no, he commenced passing into an adjacent room, where his wile lay sick;but he was struck with a pistol-ball 'and fell to the around, shot through the iieart. There were Ihree or four negroes present, who declare that the man wlu tired the shot instantiy lied."
But, outrageous ns these scenes are, ihay arc ihrown into lho shade by those described in lhe following letier from Ihe Correspondent of^ the New Orleans I'icayune, wriling from the camp al Cen alvo, in Mexico, on lho 4lh of January:
I must devote one paragraph to a subject lbat I liave too long neglected to allndc to, and one lbat lias given me great pain during my whole slay in .Mexico; I mean the disrepu¬ table conduct of some of llie volunteer troops. Below Mior, we met thc 2nd Regiment of In¬ diana troops, commanded, 1 believe, by Col. Drake. They encamped near our camp, and a portion of lhem were exceedingly ir- recular in theii behaviour, firing away their cartriges, and persecuting the Mexican fami¬ lies at a rancho near by. They were on their return from near Monterey, where they had gone conlrary to order, and where they had received positive orders to go back to the month of the Rio Grande. A large por¬ tion of their officers were behuid and the men were left to do pretty much a.s they pleased. On arriving at Mier, we learned fiom iiidispulable authority liiat this same regiment had commitled, lhe day before, oul- rages against the citizens of lhe most dis- sraceful cbaracler;—stealing, or raiher rolt ing, insulting the women, breaking into, hoiis- e..i, and other feats of a similar character !— We hav.' heard of them at almost every ran¬ cho, up to this place. Al Cerralvo, are two companies of an Ohio regiment, (Col. Mor- can's Regiini'iil) lo garrison the place. Gen. Taylor has issued proclamations. assHrinsthe inhabitants of the towns in the conquered ter¬ ritory that ihey should be prolecled and well treated by oor troops. Since this place has been garrisoned by our volunteers the fami¬ lies have been subjected to ali kinds of out¬ rages. Al Punta Aguila it has been the same; and most of tbose who could go, have left their homes. Some have faiien into the hands of the Camanches, whilst flying from the persecutions of onr volunteer troops. Re¬ cently the people have received treatment from itien stationed here, (1 do not know who '•'commands" them,) that negroes in a state of insurrection would hardly be guilty of.— The women have been repeatedly violated; (almost an every-day affair) houses broken open, and insults of every kind have been of¬ fered 10 Ihose whom ice are bound by honor to protect. This is noihing moro than a state¬ ment of facts. I have no lime to make com. menls, but 1 desiro to have this published, and I have written it under the approval of Capt. Thornton; Maj. Di.v, Capt. DeHart, Col. Bohlen, Ll. Thorn, Mr. Blanchard and my sense of duty, and I am determined, hereal¬ ier, to notice every serious offence of the above mentioned naiure. The American arms shall not be disgraced withnut the stiii- ma falling on the gnilty parties, if I can be inslrumenlal in e.xposing ih^m. It would be criminal in me to overlook these outrages, and, fnr the sake of our national honor, as well as for that of lhe U. S. Army, I shall not do so." No American can read these statements, of the trplh of whicl) there c^n he no.doubt, without an emotion of mingled shame and indignation.
