Mr. Kelley has la-en recently subjected to severe, and as wc think improper animadversion, for the part lie bore ill the late conference held at Wheeling, in reference to the western terminus of the Baltimore and Ohio K itlrond. A peculiar feature in this assault upon Mr. Kelley is tin; fast that they are made siiuulu-neoindy from the northern nnil the southern portions of the State and for the name identical reason, that the influence they impute to his e (1'ortn has thwarted their own land interest by diverting the location of the roud from them ! It m a maxim in ethics th:it truth tut hitircfH extremes ; and the mutter of there heated assault upon Mr. Kelley from the north and the smith, is tint an exeiuphlicilioii of the verity of lint maxim. We invite the Attention of the reader to Mr. Kelley rep!) to tlio Cdilur of the Marietta Intrltigt mir, in thia day'i Stale Journal. It dent in figure and nlh-cisl statistics, which ore rather rigid arguments, but audi nit Mr. Kelley in prone to indulge in. They are sometimes iniieh harder to overcome than aruim-nia in ado up of bird names, and denunciatory declamation.We hare in hand, and diall insert in our next number, Mr. Kelley' reply to the Kdilr of the Mossillon Tttrgruph, copy of which we understand has been forwurded to the Kdtlor of (hat paper. It ihImiI the sheerest justice to Mr. Kelley, who has been thus attacked upon liia right hand and lea left, that he idiouhl be heard in his own vindication. It ia due to the great interest involved in the matter in controversy, that the, facts should be folly hrmight forth ; and few men are more competent to do that ervicc, than Air. Kelley. feared, in only to take from her about one half of her territory; mid tlmt for the two very satisfactory reasons, Ural, that we fancy wo need a portion of it, to uti'ord ua an eligible hiirbor on the Pacific; and secondly, that we iinul have it ah indemnity" for the trouble and expense nhu hna put ua to in wreating it from her ! And thin we are finally to get from her by negotiation.Now it ao happena that, for the ratification of any trtoty, u vote of two third of the Seiialora ia made necesaary. Hhoiild our Adininistraiiou then succeed in carrying out ita pbuu through the instrumentality of Mr. Trixt or the joint action of Mr. Trial and (Jen. Scott or should it by any other meana, constitute JL government to negoriate with, and then form a treaty with audi government, we ahould then be scarcely a atep nearer the attainment of peace than we now nre ; fur" territory," we mippoae, would be a aubatautive ingredient ill any Bin.h treaty, as it won! J prove tlio insuperable burrier to ita ratification. Without territory, the Administration aide of the Heiiate would gt ag;urttt the ratification. With territory, and without thu application of the principle of the tl'ihnot Vo-riff, more thuiia third of tlio Senate would be found agaiint it bo that in either event, under existing cir cuniitauces, no valid promise ia held out of the termination of the Wir. How then aliiill it be brought to a close ?

In fncl we have no doubt that such acquisition lay at the very bottom of the motive lor bringing about the " stale of wnr." Hut whatever limy have been iho motive for it commencement, or by whose act, it is conceded mi all hand 'hat " war rxiil." Thu war, when terminated, must be terminated by one of two mode, via : by negotiiiiion, or by the subjugation of one of the pailie. We lake il for granted that our government is not prepnrcd to avow the purpose of in utter subjugation of the Republic of Mexico.. Uur purpose au fur na il ia publicly pro. lint if, as men endeavor to persuade themselves, there is ao gnat a dill'erence in the capabilities of the Iwo aexcH, may not the superiority bo mi the aide of woman? tor doe not the experience of all teachei go to prove that when similarly nilusted, female generally equal if not excel tin other sex ill native genius nud uuliring application. Hut many even of those who nre willing lo share the value of geuiu with woman, assert tint though her native talent may equal that of man, it runs in a different channel, for while he love lo roam in the higher walk of literature nud science, she, though capable of a lolly Mights, prefer to linger among birds and ilowers and all beautiful things of earth, that she luve better to lintiri to the rich harmonious twtrs of mitxie, than to sttnly the philrsnjihij of fount! that she wmtld rather roam in thu dark old woods and search for Flora's grins, than toil in the chemint's laboratory, nnd that she finds more pleasure in listening to her own incessant con vernation than in poring over tin; rusty page ol some historinn of tlie modern line, or in searching into the uivslerie of ancient lore. Hut while it i true, that she who ha so far lost lhu finer feeling which were originally iiupl mted in her breast, ns lo be insensible to nature's charm and it thousand musical voice, while such an one ha forfeited her title tu a ' true hearted woman," and while our earliest remembrance of happiness are brightly miniled with trees and Ilowers, there is in the bosom id' each of the fair daughter of Kvo n spark of that passion that tempted otirlirnt mother to forfeit her claim lo I'aradiso and which incite Ihem lo nenrch for tlmse unknown law that cloth the' earth with beauty, nnd fur those hidden principle which genius nnd industry can alone find out; while that love of the new nud benutiful lli tt is implanted in each human breast, urges them to enrrh farther into the mysteries it science nnd dunk deeper ol the inexliaustablo lutin- tain of knowledge. Anil if it is true, ns men universally declare, that woman i endowed Willi reiuurknlile powers of cori versation, or to use their own expression ' a wonder ful long tongue," i it not of ihe highest importance that she should poaaeni that knowledge which will en able her to turn this power to a god atlmntngt , and remb r it a blessing instead of a curse to man ? If, then, in nil the varied scene and relations of life, knowledge is necessary lo the Usefulness mid happiness of woman, if it strew the way of life with rotes nnd invest the lire-side with additional attractions, it' it lends a new lustre to beauty' ch irms or throws a fresh enchantment round woman's path or gives a heavenward direction to her mighty iiilluence, let females be thoroughly etlttratttl.

BHKAKINO FOR TIIK POST OFriCI. MoNTKitEr, Mexico, June IS, 1847-You respectnbh? citizens of a civilized community who can quietly walk down to the Post Office and ar. certain by a glnnce at the little yellow placard whether the nmil is in, or whether it lias 'failed beyond .Stockton ; yon, who can, by glancing through ti o window at Ihe neatly lettered boics, ascertain whether Ihero are any letters lo your address, cannot appreciate or comprehend the continual state of excitement wo labor under here, impatiently waiting the arrival of the mail and speculating upon thechsn-ces of receiving some intelligence from home. The husband a line from his wife, the lover a tweet word from liia mistress, a brother a fraternal word from brother, nr a son tho outpourings of a fond mother's heart. The mails are small and few and far between. How bright all faces look when it ii announced that a mail from the Stutes fins arrived ! What a hurrying lo the post ofbee and pushing and squeezing to be first nl the opened door ! whit an anxiety is manifested to kick down the door and rush in upon the postmaster, up to bis elbows in letters and papers, and drive him from his post! How impatient are all, and how, when the door is opened they ruh impetuously in aa a parcel of school boys are wont to rush from the presence of their worthy preceptor when when school is dis. missed!" Doesn't the poor postmaster fnll back in dismay na some of the adventurous spirits clear his little counter, dive into his pretty little pigeon holea and eagerly look for letters ' Ilrighter grows the smile of him who receive! a letter, bul sick at heart is he wtio turns away Irom the freezing announcement ot ' no letter for you, sir.' And well may it cause a cloud ot sorrow to pass overt man s brow, and a swelling pulsation of the heart. What, he nskes himself, liava my friends forgotten me because in far away from them? Or lias some dire event befallen some near anil dear relativo and they daro not break the news to me? Or is it the fault of some infernal postmaster on the route who has kept back part of tho mail? The disappointed one generally settles him self down into the belief that the latter is tho most liktdy supposition and becomes comparatively easy. This morning a mail came in, was distributed, and I wa among tlie fortunate ones receiving a package of letters. As 1 came out of the otlico a good looking volunteer passed uie, exclaimed in a sort of under tone intended to bo beard, and in accents that would draw pity from an overseer of the poor, Not one lino Iruni home since 1 ve been in Mexico. Hut this has little tn do with the story I was about to relate, save that it shows what an anxiety there is to near irom home, a good joke is tool upon a lieutenant of one of the volunteer companies which have been stationed here, nnd which I cannot refrain trout relating. The officer was out in the plaza drilling his company, wheeling and turning and marching in col. uuin and by platoon and ' coming various games of that sort," when it was discovered that a mail wn in ; and the closed door of the post otliee at the other end of the plnza indicated that the post master was walking into " the bags. The site nlian ol Ihe afore said lieutenant was divided between Ins men and tho otlitre, the hitler receiving tlie greatest share of it, how. ever. At length, just ns he Imu given the order " march !" the door of the post office opened. Without more ado, never stopping bis men and perhaps not care ing particularly whether they hailed of their own accord or marcheij tu the devil, the lieutenant broke like a quarter horse fur lhu office tn a bee hue, and ns he sM-d, ever nnd anon turning his head to see what Ins men were doing, apparently apprehensive Hint they might be scampering utter bun like a Hock of shet p. The stnry goes that lie was the first man tu scale Ijie counter and iuaect the It-Iters, but that he might have waited a liltle longer for there were none for kirn. Slanderers asserted that Ihe company crossed the plu. za, marching down the stream towards the creek, crossing the purling stream and had innrched about a mile and a half on the mad to Uiindulupe, when the exhausted lieutennnt overlook them and ordered a counter march by the left flank. Others assert that when the boys find marched opposite their quarters the icr geanl dismissed tho drill. A PPL V I Nil TOTIir IIKAD MOSS. Did you ever see a collection uf men that could not turn out a specimen of what is generally termed "a character?"' If you ever did, you can, to make use of a vulgarism, " bent my time" considerably, fur 1 never did, and what is more, never expect to. The next door to toy quarters a company of Virginia volunteers are stationed, and as I hey turn out to roll-call and drill, 1 have a good opportunity of observing them. I had noticed among the men a short thick set Irishman, whose head seemed to have settled down between his shoulders a in tic too far to permit him to iii as a model for a sculptor, although be will answer very well for a soldi. r. There was something an odd aboul bis appearance and in bis manner of performing the manual that I was convinced he was "a barncter, and upon expressing my belief of that fact, 1 discovered that I was not far Wrong, the following anecdote being related uf him : I laze sir, said the soldier, touching his hat to Ina captain, 11 whin will we be paid off, sir.'" " In a few days, I nines, replied the ollicer. " lis sir, continued Pat, "and whin, sir, wil) wo be after San la Anna, the blackguard r " That a more than lean tell you, Patrick ; it's rather hard lo tell you when or where he will show himself," replied the officer. " Yis, air, thank you kindly, sir; we'll be paid off in a few day any ways, however," said Pat, as lie touched bis uat again and retired In a few days be appeared arrain and opened the conversation with 14 1 1 you ptaze, sir, devil the copper liavo we been paid yet, sir ! I know it Patrick, was the icply of the officer ; " bul 1 can't help it ; they are wailing fur lhu paymaster to arrive." "Oh, it's the paymasier we're a wnitin fur, ia it? and what the devil's the excuse br has for not brill' here when he's wanted ? What's the use of bavin' a paymaster if tie ian't on the spot when he's wanted ?' said Pal, beginning lo wax indignant at having to wail ao long for his tin' The r.ircuuistanco caused him mm h uneasiness, anil alter cogitating the matter over an I over, he was struck with a luminous ida, and announced to his comrades that be d bare h. money before yuu could say " thread on my coat."

That's his lent," said the sentinel, pointing out the General's qcarlcrs. And ia that the (it-uerai's tent?" said Pat, taking off his hat and rubbing Ins hand over bis hair which had been cut to the degree of shortness peculiar to natives of Krin'a green tale. "And where' thn (iineral'a old grey horae?" inquired Pat. "Then-," replied the soldier, indicating the spot when1 Ihe old horse atnnd lanly whisking ihe flies sway with his tail. M And is that Ihe old Imraer" again inquired the spring of Erin, with grent awe, an' where, if ynu plane sir, ia the obi gentleman himself," continued Pat. There he sits under that awhing," answered Ihe soldier. " What," eielaimcd Put, in almost a whisper and in a to no amounting to reverence, "an' is that Ihe old gentleman?" "Ves," snid the soldier, walking away, "Hint's (leiieral Ta)lor." Alter gating upon tho u war worn veteran " in silent admiration fur a while, he at last inuslered sufficient courage to approach hun. 11 1 beg your pardon, (tinernl, but you'll plm tn eicuse Ihe bil uf liberty I'm taking in presuming tn eall on your honor, hut if ye pbtxe sir, I come on a bltle iimtler of business, belli' aa I thought maybe you iniifbl lie after helpin' us out of a lillte bit of a scrape.'' Well," said ihe General kindly, what ia the trouble, and what do ymi wish?" " If you pi ize sir, I d like lo know when the hands will lie paid of, sir ?" When the hands will be paid off" repeated tho General, little piixxhd Vis, sir, if you plnxe to have the goodness. Tho hands have had div il the cent of wagea since they tu been in ihe country." M)i, I understand, you're a volunteer and wish In know when you'll be pud nti' Well my good fellow you must apply to your company ollicers for that in lurinatiuii, I have nothing In do with it." " lleggiu' your pardon, sir, I did ax the boss about it, but be didn't give me tin sort uf an tin taction about it, and so I told the other hands I'd fix it; and Item' ai yuu 're the head boss I thought I'd be coniin1 over here to see if ynu couldn't give us some satisfaction."
