I The present limits are inadequate to accommodate I my numerous retinue of customers On 1st of February shall commence to erect a Stupendous Warehouse, sufficiently large to accommodate my friends and numerous customers.

This Gigantic House, the Qlory oj Boston is to some and a Larger, more- Spacious, and Btdr Kant Establishment Is to take Its These names have been applied to.my establishment by those that are acquainted with the real character of Oak Hall: Such os a Superior Mart, a Princely Warehouse 4 a Vast Trad-ing Area, a Matchless Establishment? a Theatre of Unbounded Trade, "a Stupendous Scheme, "an Extensive Market, a Triumphant Achievement a Sph re of Extraordinary Operations, an Unapproachable Wonder, Such names probably will apply to iny new ionstructure when completed, might well undertake to confine the vast ocean in the limits of our Pond on Boston Common, a9 to carry on iny large trade within the walls of these present limits. The public are aware that my triumphant statements are not overrated.

The trade at ray extensive Ware-rooms may be compared to a large Monster, whose bulk and mighty stature have become so great that it requires a larger sphere for its present movements. This Warehouse, erected in 1842, has stood unrivalled in the metropolis for extent and magnitude, and yet it is far, far from being equal to the extent of my heavy trading operations. So liberal a patronage must have a larger house for the unfettered movements of its enormous form an establishment far surpassing the present one is absolutely necessary, and one is shortly to be erected, that will surprise and delight all interested in my welfare.

Sir 1 have the honor to report that 1 arrived with about 1300 men at the Rio Giande, on the morning of the 8th inatantand crossed tba-fiv-er on the 10th, and 11th. any serious accident, and encamped bree-me west of Presidio, and nine miles from the river, which, at the tune of crossing, was four feet three inches deep. By unloading and raising the at tides a loot in the wagons, we weie enabled to cross the ford.

The infantry crossed in the boats prepared at San Aatonio. Colonel Hardin, with eight companies ef the 1st regiment of Illinois volunteers, caine up on the evening ot the 12lb. Yesterday he crossed the river, and will join us in the course ot nn hour. We have been compelled to delay a few days to repair our train, 170 wagons, carrying fifiy-five days' rations, and to recruit our horses and mules, much teduced by a long march, without any thing but prairie grass to feed on. A part ot the train had travelled from La Va-ca, three hundred and thirty miles, without a days rest.

We shall resume our march with about 1800 men, on the morning ot the 16th in slant, after leaving a company to take charge of the boats, and the ford ot the Rio Grande, un til the rear ol my column, undei the direction of Col. Churchill arrives, which is expected in the course ot ten days. Unfortunately the quartermaster's department is without specie, 't reasury notes are of no use to us, as the Mexicans will take nothing but gold and silver With private means, and boiowing, we shall be able to pay for half rations of corn during our stay at this place Whether 1 shall be able to succeed as well at other towns is doubtful. My route to Chihuahua ll be through San Fernando, Santa Rosa, and perhaps Monclova. At this point 1 will endeavor to open a communication with Gen.

Taylor, which, it would seem, will be necessary on account of supplies. As soon as the wet season cominmences our communications wi'li San Antonio and the Presidio will be, in a great measure cut oft the route in many places, independent of the streams, will be impassible. Hence, 1 will be compelled to establish a depot of supplies at Monclovs, or some other point, in the interior, and on a route leading to Gen. Taylor's army or depot of supplies. The supplies in the country are limited.

A partial amount of flour and Gorn and lull rations of beef can be obtained. I have ordered the quartermasters department to forward as fast as possible, all the subsistence he could obtain between this and the middle of November, when it is thought we may have our communications interrupted by wet weather. Brigadier General Shields arrived yesterday, and confirmed the previous intelligence ol hard fought battle between Gen. Taylor and Amnudia, and also of capitulation. This morning I was informed by an intelligent Mexican that Santa Anna had arrived at Saltillo with 13,000, and those of Ampudia making a force of 16,000 men.

It is also stated that the government had called out 60,000 militia. In a few days I shall know the truth of the rumor, i herewith send you a copy of an order issued on the arrival ot the troops on the Rio Grande. Also a report ot Lieut Kingsburys of the route and days march from San Antonio to this place. 1 am, very respectfully. Tour obedient servant, JOHN E.

WOOL, Brigadier General. To Brigadier Gen. Jones, Adjutant General U. S. Army.

Pulpit Advertising To the Editor of the Whig and Courier 1 would respectfully inquire of the clergy of this city if they intend to make of their pulpits1 'Advertising Boxes. I inquire of them because, I suppose they have the control of their pulpits, and because I notice a disposition in some to avail themselves of this mode of advertising tbeir business. For in-instance a transient came to Bangor, to get up music classes advertised yesterday through the officiating clergyman at the First Par-Lb Church that he was to open a music school-naming the place and stating he would communicate bis terms at the time and place of meeting 4c. The same notice was sent to the Superintendent of the Sabbath School in said Parish and by him read to the School. Whether this advertisement wta sent to all the Churches and Sabbath schools in this city or whether all the superintendents and clergy were so accommodating as to be this mans crier to their schools and congregations, I ain not able to state.

If they were I would advise the various professions of this city to adopt this mode of giving notoriety to their business, in preference to using the Daily Press. It is cheaper, and many persons would hear who are not in the habit of reading the papers. Whilst liatning to the notice referred to above, I could not help thinking of the story, told of the Rhode Island Deacon. My friends, said he, (speaking in a Conleience meeting) 4 am as certain of a future stale ot rewaids and punishments, as am that I have just had fifty barrels of flour landed at my store, and that 1 will sell as cheap as any other man. That this mode of advertising would in any instance bp offensive to the taste of our church going citizens, 1 will not assert at any rate it is a cheap and effectual mode of advertising and on these accounts I would recommend it to the public.

Mr Polk and. Santa Anna The intrigue, which gave Santa Anna a free entrance into Mexico, is a matter of surprise to many to others it appears as a characteristic fact, marking very significantly the statesmanship of this administration. The following is fiom the Alexandria Gazette: We learned, a day or two since, in conversation with a gentleman recently returned from Europe, that the greatest surprise was manifested in private circles in England, by the most intelligent and well informed people, at the very extraordinary movements in our Government in countenancing and permitting the return ut Santa Anna and his officers to Mexico You Americans, was the common remark, je certainly the strangest people on the face ot the earth. You certainly display the most indomitable heroism and perseverauce you overcome obstacles that would seem almost insurmounta-bl and yet you display the utmost Jack of wisdom, nay, even of common sense, in the conduct of your war with Mexico. You permit Santa Anna, a skillful general, a man ol notoriously bad laith, without one single honorable trait in bis character, crafty, cunning, dt-ceiiful, and your bitier enemy, to regain his country, unite a divided and lead an army, devoted to bia interests, against you.

This is a movement which no other nation upon the earth would hive thought ol lor a single moment. You permit Almonte, too, who from his long residence in youi country is probably the best informed of all bis countrymen, of your condition and resources, as well as the disposition of your people, to return with Santa Anna, and, in all probability, assume the direction of the War Department. If, says the Baltimore American, it waa an act of folly in the Administration to allow Santa Anna to return to Mexico, waa rt an act of wisdom to place that Administration in power The people must learn their own responsibility. If they make a bad choice in the selection of their chief agent, they must expect tbe' consequences. is idle to suppose that the elevation of an incompetent man 4o the head 4f.

flair can change him into a competent -man, There is no bidden virtue in the investiture of oflfa which can prove sanative in a case of radical -Renta knbte Conduct of little Girts- The following exlraoidinary act was peiform-by a child in Lyons not Iqpfcago, according to a continental paper. An nnforiunate artisan, the father of a family, was' deprived of work by the depressed state of his -trade during a whole wiuler. -it was with great difficulty that'he could get a morsel of food now and then for his famished wife and children- Things grew worse and worse with him, and at length on attempting to rise one morning for the purpose of going out as usual, in queBt of employment, he fell back in a fainting condition beside his wife, who had already been confined to her bed by illness for two months. The poor mhn felt himself ill, and his strength utterly gone He had two boys, yet in mere childhood, and one girl about twelve or thirteen years old. Fora long time the whole charge of the household had fallen on this girl.

She had tended the sick bed of her mother, and had watched over her little brothers with more than parental care. Now, when the father too was taken ill, there seemed to be not a vestige ot hope for the family, excepting the exeitions which might be made by her, young as she was. The first thought of the poor little girl was to seek for work proportioned to her strength. But that the family might not starve in the meantime, she resolved to go to one ot the (louses of Charity, where food was given out, she had heard to the poor and needy. The person to whom she addressed herself accordingly, inscribed her name in the list of applicants, and told her to come back again in a day or two, when the case would have been deliberated upon.

AJas during this deliberation her parents and brothers would starve The girl stated this, but was informed that the formalities mentioned were indispensible. Sire citrne again to the streets, and, almost agonized by the knowledge flow anxiously she was expect with bread, at home, she resolved to ask charity from the passengers in the public ways No one heeded the modest, unobtusive appeal of her outstretched hand. Her heart was too fu II to permit her to speak. Could any one have seen the tortur ng anxiety that filled her breast she must have been pitied and relieved. As the case stood, it is not perhaps surprising that some rude being; menaced her with the police She was frightened.

Shivering with cold, and crying bitterly, she fled homewards. When she mounted the stairs and opened the door, (he first words that she heard were the cries of her biothers for something to eat bread bread She saw her father sootning and supporting her fainting mother, and heard him say Bread' she dies for want of food, 1 have no bread ctied the poor girl, with anguish in her tones. The cry of disappointment and despair which canie at these words from her father and brothers, caused her to recall what Bbe had said, and conceal the truth. 1 have not got it yet, she exclaimed, but i will have it immediately. I have given the baker lie money; he wassetving some rich people, and he told me to wail or come back.

1 came to tell you that it would son be After these words, without waiting for a reply, she left the house again. A thought had entered her head, and maddened by the distress of those she loved so dearly, she had instantaneously resolved to put it into execution. Site ran from one street to another till she saw a baker's shop in which there appeared to be no person, and then, summoning all her determination, she entered, lifted a loaf and fled! The shop keeper saw her from behind. He cried loudly, ran out after her, and pointed her out to the people passing by. The girl ranon.

She was pursued, and finally man seized tire loaf which she carried. The object of her desires taken away, she had no motive to proceed, and was seized at once. They conveyed her to the office of the police; a crowd, as usual, having gathered in attendance. The poor girl threw around her despairing glances, which seemed to seek some favorable object from which to ask mercy. At last, when she had been brought to the court ot the police office, and was in waiting for the order to enter, she saw before her a little gri of her own age, who appeared to look on her with a glance of kindness and compassion.

Under the impulse of the moment, still thinking of the condit on of her family, she whispered to the stranger the cause of her act of theft. Father and mother, and my two brothers are dying for want of btead! said she. Where? asked the strange girl, anxiously. Rue No. 10, She had only time to add the name of her parents to this communication, when she was earned before the commissary of police.

Meanwhile, the poor family at home suffered all the miseries of suspense. Fears for their child's safety were added to the other affi ctious the parents. At length they heard foot-steps ascending the slant. An eager cry of hope was ulteied by all the lour unfortunates, but alas! a stranger appealed in place ot their own little one. Yet the stranger seemed to them like an angel.

Her cheeks had a beautiful bloom, and long flax en hail fell in curls upon her xlioutders. She brought to them bread, and a small basket of other provisions. Your girl, she said, will not come back perhaps to-day; but keep up your spirits! See wbat she has sent you After these encouraging words, the young messenger of good put into the hands of the father five Danes, and Ihen, turning round to cast a look of pity and satisfaction on the poor family, who were dumb with emotion, he disappeared. The history of these five francs is the most remarkable part of the affair. This little benevolent fairy was, it is almost unnecessary to say the same pitying spectator who had been addressed by the abstractor of the loaf at the police office, as soon as she had heard what was said there, she had gone away resolved to lake some ineai to me poor family.

But she remembered that her mama was from home that cfoy, nd was a loss how to procure money or food, until she bethought herself of a resource of a strange kind She recollected that a hair dresser who lived near her mothers house, and who knew her family, had often commended her beautiful hair, and told her to come to him whenever she wished to have it cut, and be would give her a louis for it. This used to make her proud and pleased, and she now thought of it in a different way. In order to procure money for the assistance of the starving went straight to the hair dresser's, put him in mind of his promise and offered to let him cut off all her pretty lucks for what he might think them worth. Naturally surprised at such an application, the hair dresser who was a kind and intelligent man, made inquiry into the cause of hisyoung friends visit. Her secret was easily drawn fiom her, and it caused the hair dresser almost to shed teats of pleasure.

He feigned to comply with the conditions proposed, and gave the bargainer fifteen francs, promising to come and claim his purchase at some future day. The little girl then got a basket of provisions, and set out ou her errand of mercy. Before she returned the hair dresser had gone to her found that lady come borne, and related to her the whole circumstances. So that when the possessor of the golden tresses came back, she was gi stifled by being received into the open arms ol her pleased and praising parent. When the story was told to the jsolice office by the hair dresser, the abstraction of the loaf was not visited with severe punishment The singular circumstances connected with the case raised many friends to the artisan and his family and be was soon restored to health and comfort To- Kate.

Im thinking of the time, Kate, When situng by thy side, And picking beans, I gaxed on And felt a peacocks pride. In silence leaned wwjer the pan. And neither spoke a word; But the rattling of the beans, Kate, Was all the sound we beard. Tby auburn curia hung down, Kate, And kissed tby lily Cheek; Thy asure eyes, half filled with tears, 1 Bespoke a spirit meek. To be so charmed as I was then.

And oh, let us pray, that when life shall be oer. And the last earthly rites unto us have been given We may meet those we love on Eternitys shore, Andkeep a more joyful Thanksgiving in Heaven! Nell. Coughs, Colds, Consumptions, Ace It should be remembered that a cough is ahvajs an evidence that some impurity is lodged in the lungs, which if not speedily removed, will so irritate those delicate organs as to produce intiamation of the lungs, a disease which we all know is tile high road to consumption. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are a safe, easy, and certain cure for colds and coughs, because they carry off by the stomach and bowels, those morbid humors which, if deposited upon tiie lungs, are the cause of the above dangerous complaints. A single twenty-five cent box of said Indian Vegetable Pills is generally sufficient to make a perfect cure of tiic most obstinate cold; and at the same time the digestion is improved, and the blood so completely purified that new life and vigor are given to the nhoie frame.

dec. 1 Daileys Pain Extractor! Every day is demonstrating the matchless virtues of this article. Letters are coming to us from all parts of the Union, expressing gratitude and surprise at its wonderful healing properties in all cases of Bums, Rheums, Piles, Wounds, Ac. Ac. The press abounds in notices of its high character as a standard medicine, and we select the following from the Island City of the l2th inst: Dallets Paiz Extractor.

An invention like this truly wonderful article, so full of virtues, should be made known to the universe. Its cures in many cases seem absolutely beyond belief. For bums and scald-, sores, swellings pains in the limbs of all kinds, cuts, wounds, and in every disease of the skin oi body where it can be applied externally, it never fails to cure. A singular case came under our own observation. A friend in playing with a sharp steel pen, run it into the palm of his hand, so that it came out at the back, and had to be extracted that way.

The poisonous nature of the ink in the wound, as well as the instrument itself, caused the hand to swell dreadfully. Daileys Pain Extractor was applied, and the next day the swelling had entirely gone down, the pain had left, and the wound was cured in a few days. This we can give persona! proof of if required. It is sold at 208 Broadway. -Important Caution! Counterfeits of my Extractor are unblushingly published to the world under my name.

Jayne Dear Sir I ara very glad to inform you that your medicines are going very fast. Indeed I fee! much encouraged from the good account I get of all who are using them. The SANATIVE PILLS are selling beyond any thing of the kind in the country. Every person appears to praise them, as well as the other medicines. The ALTERATIVE is going very well.

I am nearly out of the TONIC VERMIFUGE, having only 4 or 5 bottles left. The call for ten days past bas completely astonished me. The HAIR TONIC is doing wonders here; a gentleman whose head has been bald for 15 or 20 years, has his hair nearly half an inch long, and has only used one bottle. My wife began to use the Hair Tonic shortly after I received it, to prevent her hair from falling off, aud only used it twice a week. It not only stopped her hair from falling off, but has produced new hair three inches long by the use of three bottles.

Yesterday the court gave notice to the Bar that by an arrangement made with other members of the bench the term would be continued until all the actions on the old and new docket for trial, should be disposed of. The Court were engaged on Friday and Saturday last, in the trial ot Rev.

Win. S. Douglass, of Springfield, for rape and incest upon his own daughters in July last. in support of the charge the daughter swore positively to the truth ol the charge as made in the indictment. O.her daughters of the prisoner were introduced to prove certain facts cor-oborating the principal witness.

Two letters were also read written by the prisoner, both directed to his daughter, one in a feigned hand purporting to be written by an uncle and the other from hiinselt, urging upon his daughters strict silence as to all matters connected with biro and insisting upon their absenting themselves from Court. In defence the prisoner relied upon proof of his own previous good character and ot the bad character ol his daughters for chastity and truth as rendering them incredible witnesses. The prisoner at the time ol the offence being committed waa a Method st clergyman, in good standing, and several broiber clergymen swore to his unimpeachable character. The case was argued by McCrillis for prisoner and Attorney General Moor for Slate, on Saturday. Yesterday morning the Court, Sliep-ley charged the Jury fully on the law and evidence introduced.

Alter a short absence the Jury returned a verdict of guilty of incest but not guilty of rape. Three other iudictments for the same crime committed upon three other daughters, are continued to the next teim lor trial. Thanksgiving Day. On Thursdiy next the people of Maine will, by the appointment of the Governor, observe the time honored custom of Thanksgiving. On Thursday last, thirteen States observed this annual festival, and since it has become so nearly a national festival, we should like right well that all the States observe it upon the same day.

The many years that the custom of setting apart a dsy for annual Thanksgiving lias been observed in New England, that untold associations are clustered about it, and make it a welcome one. It is a day of home gatherings and for the union of long separated friends. It is a day deseivedly memorable in the calender as one in which the Slate acknowledges its dependence upon Jehovah for all the blessings enjoyed by the people, and to own Him as the Sovereign Ruler of the Universe. The presence of friends, the abundant stores of good things, and the comforts of life connect with Thanksgiving, should cause the incense of gratitude to ascend to heaven. The benevolent affections should also be awakened in behalf of those who have been overtaken by misfortune and upon whom the hand of affliction and poverty has fallen.

By the religious devotions of the day, by the oat gushing of the gratitude of thank lul hearts, and by the social enjoyments of the day we may all hope to be made better and better prepared for the duties of life and for spending an eternity ef Thanksgiving in the celestial world- tTTDr Jewett delivered his second lecture in this city, last evening at the Hammond street church.
