In regard to the firo dopartment the committee aro in favor of paying the firemen for their sorvices in order lo ensure greater harmony and efficiency therein, and to avoid the manifold evils of the present system, which result mainly from the agency which turbulent and riotous young men aud boys are allowed to have in bringiug and returning tho engines on the occasion of a fire.

Although nothing official has reached ua inrela at ion to tho intelligence which appeared iu our last issue, still the rumors hare come in so unmislakoablo a iorm as to leave no doubt of their general correctness.

That Gen. Scott has fought and beaten the Mexicans, we fully believe and that ho has reached the city of Mexico, we also feel to be true. But that he halted his victorious columns outside the city walls, and grauted an armistice to the Mexicans upon their consenting to receive Mr. Trist's propositions, we cannot so readily credit. Tlio game of the Mexicans, that of procrastination, our general must be too well acquainted with by tin's time, to suffer thorn to derive any further benefit from.

And the idea that the city was not occupied tosparo the Mexicans thehumiliatiou consequent thereupon, is not exactly orthodox, tho character of our enomies being considered. The course pursued towards them from the very commencement of tho war, lias boen characterized by too much morcy we have endeavored to "kill them with and tho very Christianity ofour policy has but served to render our enemy the more barbarous they mistaking it for cowardice. Gen. Jackson's rule for Indian warfare is the only one applicable to the Mexicans. Novor give them a moment to reflect, astonish and overawe them by the rapidity and strength of your onsets) and never lose a single hour in waiting for them lo deliberate.

Tho Georgians used to be a bravo people. In my time oneGeorgian would wh ip three Indians but now one old squaw would frighten seventeen of them!" This was alluding to the Croek Indian massacres of 1837. What are all my petticoat generals doing?" said tho old hero, us he heard slory upon story of tho Indian outrages and murders, mouths after the breaking out of the Semiuolo war And so would he say now, wcro he to hoar of an armistice, grauted to allow tlio Moxicans time toen tertain proposals for peace. Have they not had lime enough already to exercise thoir debating talents, during Scott's long march from Vera Cre: to Mexico, four or fivo mouths? Time to debate indeed If Scott knows what ho wants, he is perfectly able to dictate his terms, and the magnanimous senores can agree to them without any more palavers, so gratifying to them and so humiliating to us. But a few days will give us ull tho truth of this matter and until we got that, we must hope, for the best." The Washington Union gives tho following, as coming from a highly respectable officer of the government Vera Cnuz, August 27, 1847.

Sin I havo tho honor and satisfaction to euclose you a copy of a letter I received last evening from a friend of mine, which can be depended on. I will not trouble you with speculations as to what will, in all probability, follow tho event of the 20ih but I havo no doubt iu my own mind that it will bo a conquered peace. By the British mail, to reach here on the 31st iust. we shall have the particulars of the defeat of the Mexioans, and the gathering together of congress Maj.

My dear Friend The Mexican mail, which has just come in, briugsthe following intelligence, which I copy from the Diario Official del Gobierno, being of so great importance.

I send you thin express (courier) who will be with you the day after to morrow about 12 o'clock. On the morning of the 20th, two brigades, commanded by Gens. Valencia and Santa, went out to attack the Americans ueaFSan Angel. Valencia's division has been completely defeated, and Santa Anna, after the first rencontre, fell back also in disorder to the city. They immediately after this asked for a suspension of hostilities offering to hear the propositions of peace from Mr.Trist.

The next day the minis tor of relations invited the congress, through the newspapers to meet for that purpose. These are the great facts, which no doubt will bring after them peace. Yours. The Vnion also says that the southern mail brought to the war department a short letter from Col. Wilson, commanding officer at Vera Cruz, of the 20th August, enclosing four manuscript lettars, in the Spanish language, which had been found in the trunk of Gen.

Parades. They may possibly shed some light upon the designs and movements of the Mexican exile. The annexed letter from the intelligent and reliable correspondent of the N. O. Times, it will be Been, says that nothing is known of Gen.

Scott's decision as to the occupation of tlio city Vjra Ckuz, Aug. 27, 1847. Gentlemen We last evening had an express from Orizaba, with a single dispatch under date of the 25lh inat. giving us the important information that a of the Mexican forces under Gen. Valencia, had been completely routed by Gen.

Scott, and that a column under the immediate command of Santa Anna fell back upon the city. Tho action took place at San Angel, a place some six or eight miles south west from tlio on the 20th iust. As soon as Santa Anna found himself iu a comparative state of personal security, he dispatched a flag to Gen. Scott, requesting a suspension of hostilities until time should be afforded for formal action on the subject of propositions, intimating at tho same time tho readiness of the government to re ceive those brought by Mr. Trist.

The minister of foreign attairs also immediately wrote circulars, published iu the Diaria Official, calling an imiiiodiuto session of congress, with the object of taking thoso propositions into consideration. It" the yankee army had been one of Visigoths, greater alarm would not have boen created bv their approach, and the government have been driven and whipped, and all parties scared into the measure that common sense has failed in inducing them to take loug ago, without coercion. It is au excellent sign that the Mexicans value their capital so highly, aud the best results are to bo expected from this exhibition of a shade of real and becoming prido. decided to drive them to desperation, by advancing at once upon tho city, or, to lay upon his arms, keeping it at his feet, wo havo not learned. Our next express, which is anxiously expected, will tell, and I hope to inform you by the next steamer that joint commissioners aro engaged in arranging terms of peace.

God grant that their efforts will bo early successful, and I am full of hope that such will be the case. The dispatch which contains the intelligence which I now give, winds up with this unqualified declaration l'eace will positively be the result. The steamer Fashion starts immediately for New Orleans, and if there wero any farther news I have no it. There is, however, nothing ex tnt s.vme unpleasant intelligence from Alvarado, to the effect that a small party of guerillas had entered the town aud cut off two or three out of less than a dozen of tho marines stationed there as a custom house guard.

Reported for the Doily Ealc. cjusrter convention. Thursday, September 1847. Present: "Hon. John Dikeman, president, in the chair; and Humphrey, Harris, Anthony, Blunt, Russell, Low, Fowler, Seabury, Kindlier, Murphy, ALurviu, Taylor, Vandewater, Osborn, Wyckott, J.

G. Bergen, liruikerlioii and Fisk. Minutes of last meeting read, corrected and approved. Collect ion of taxes and assessments. Mr.

Murphy, chairman of the committee on public improvements, assessmo nts and tho collection of taxes, said tho committer, had directed him to report upon so much of the subjects as relates to the collection of taxes and assessments, and to report by bill. When this subjec should come up for discussion by tho convention, ho would avail imsolf of the opportunity to give such explanations us are necessary lo enable tho convention lo understand tho objects of the committee. They have now taken up this branch of the subject becauso they have not received from the slreot commissioner such information as they want buforo they can discharge the other duties pertaining to this subject. In presenting tho provisions which they do, he would stato that they li tve sought to accomplish objects which they deeme of paramount importance. Jst losecmo a uniform mode of collecting taxes and assessments.

At present thoro aro i wo distinct modes of collection, one for taxes and th 'J other for assessments, requiring two separate sots officers for their collection. Tho bill is not drawn reference to the adoption of the plan of no local assessments hut if that plan shonh.1 bo adopted this bill still answer, with slight modifications. Another oieet has been to secure tho city from the loss uud damage which havo during past years ensued from collections under irregular assessments. A large amo unt audi may oven venture to say at least onehiin Jre'' thousand dollars have been lost to this city from tin'" cause and it has been one of tho leading ohjt cts or the committee to avoid similar losses for tho future. Auo'iher design was to protect real estate from hei.

ig sold as far as possible, and at tho sumo time to protect the public treasury and sscurc tho prompt collection of taxes and assessments. Hu far the coo.imitteehave succeeded it will bo for tho convention to dotermiue. They havo sought to examine tf 10 subject thoroughly, and to institute improve ments necessary to remedy difficulties. Mr. M.

Provides for tfio election every three years of a collector ol taxes and to bo delivered to tho collector within ten days after linal confirmation, a.

32. Tho commissioners to execute leases to purchasers ol lands the lessee to obtain possession thereof by summary proceedings in the usual manner. Mr. Murphy moved lhat the report lie on the tablo and bo printed. Mr.

Taylor opposed lho molieu on tho ground that the form of the report was irregular, aad in collision with' the resolution directing tho various committees to report principles and measures aud not bills. They had not yet got so far as to havo bills reported. Thero would probably bo a committee appointed whose duty it would bo to embody in tho form of law the principles and measures repoitod by the standing committees. It was on this ground that he should oppose the acceptance of tho report. The convention wanted to hear some reasons, some argument, for lho provisions of tho bill, which did not appear on the face of it; and they had aright to demand the reasonings and opinions of tho committee on all the propositions submitted to them, and to have tho same printed.

Many members were not fortunate enough to he so well acquainted with the subject of taxes and assossmonts as the gentleman, and he (Mr. was not himself aware what changes were sought to be introduced by tho report, nor was lie prepared to make up an opinion until he had heard soniu reasons for lho suggestions of the gentleman, lie would therefore move lhat the report bo recommitted with instructions to report the. reasons therefor, and in pursuance of the resolution, requiring principles and measures to bo reported by the comin itlees Mr. Harris moved the acceptance of tho report, lie was of opinion that tho report could be just as well discussed in its present shape as in any other. Mr.

Fowler hoped that tho convention would ad here to the requirements ol lite resolution and gave his reasons for the. opinion lhat lho discussion of the report would bo hindered by the cumbrous language of the law in which its recommendations were couched. It was, however, directly at variance with tlio resolution which this convention had con sidnred aud passed. Mr. Osborn considered that if the report was made to accord with the terms of the resolution it would g.eatly augment not only the labors of the committee but the expense of priming, which was worthy of consideration in view of tho limited appropriation lor tne convention.

Mr. Humphrey, from the committee on assessments, rose and advocated the acceptance of tho report in its present shape and mado au able argument to prove thai the bill was alroady iu accordance with the resolution. The legal phraseology was, ho said, the most condensed form, and the cost of printing il less than if inoro fully written out. Ju a more voluminous form it would not bo so likely lo do reau. no coinonueti mat every section con tained a principle and measure in itself.

Mr. Marvin said that when he ollered the resolution il had not beon his intention to preclude anv gentleman from making a report by bill if ho should prefer that modo. After snine further uiceussion the question was taken upon the acceptance of lho report, and decided in the affirmative by the following vote Ayes, Humphrey, How, Harris, Blunt, Dikeman, rviissoii, i.mv, iaeiiDiiry, ivinenier, iuurphv, Marvin, j. v.

Mr. C. S. Watrous of Jamaica, L. well known in Clucens comity as the editor ol the L.

I. Farmer, has sent us the names of the following persons who have used Bailey's Extract of Sareaparilla John VV. Cornwell, Jamaica, cured child of his, about 8 years of age, of Scrofula, by using 0 bottlos. A child of Mr. Samuel Denton, was cured of Halt Rheum.

This was a severe easo, tho child's head and face being covered with scabs and sores. Mr. Penrsall, of Rockaway, much improved, prospect of speedy cure. A lad from Connecticut, a student at Union Hall Academy, under tho advice of his attending physician used 0 bottles of Bailey's Kxiract or Sarsaparilla, which completely cured a chronic ulcerated sure throat, with which he had been troubled for years. Tho reputation of Bailey's Sarsaparilla is so well established on Long Island, that regular physicians prescribe no other, and the above cases of remarkable cures, as well as ioures of others, that inighteasily be obtained should sutisfy any reasonable person of its virtues.

Brooklyn, August 19, 1847. To Mr. If. Bailey, ProprUtot of llailey's Sarsaparilla. Dear Sir I have the pleasure of informing you that tho two bottles of your Sarsaparilla, which 1 bought of you some two or three weeks since, has entirely cured my child, which was first luken sick with the chicken pox, on tho 17th of June last.

The child took a Very severe cold, which appeared to protract the disease, until it produced a sovere intiammatiou about its bowels. It linally broko out all over its body with boils about tho size ol a hickory nut, its appetite was entirely gone, and it had emaciated and become nothing hut skin and bones. I then ilmost despaired of ils recovery. A friend of inino recommended me to get your Sarsaparilla; 1 obtained only two bottles, and gave it according to the directions, and have niven notbing else, and now tho child is well and hoarty as any child free from any disease whatover, and Us gen mil health is far bettur than it has ever been even before it was taken sick with the chicken pox. sH W.
