SZIER TAKE.
CCTtEXSPONDENCE OF THE XEW ORLEANS
PICAYUNE.
MitR, Jcly 31. Capt. Vinton's com
mand entered this place this morning with
out the least show of opposition, the in
tabilaBiS thronging to the Plaza in crowds
as the troops tiled into it and stacked
their arms in front of the house of the
alcolde. It -seemed to me as though
there wcretru n enough in the square to
have beaten us off with nothing else save
he kose stones lying about; yet not a
hand was raised.
MiEtt is by far the .most pleasant,
cleanly, and well regulated place we have
yet seen in ibis part of Mexico. It is
built on a hill overlooking a clear run
ning stream of the same name, three
.miles from the Uio Grande, and is said
to contain 0,000 inhabitants, although I
do not know where they stow them all.
Yoa may well recollect that it was in
this place that the Texan?, under Col.
FisheT, were compelled to surrender, after
they had killed twies their number of
Mexicans. The houses occupied by the
Texans during the battle were pointed
fcut, and still bear the marks of the des
perate conflict.
I have stated that the number cf the
inhabitants is put down at 0,000; admit
ting that it is 1,000. it was still entered
and taken possession of by 03 men only
85 regulars and 8 of MtCulloch's ran
gers, acting as mounted guard. You could
not serve any town in the United States
in that way, and this place is a perfect
fortification, from its position and the
strength of the houses, which arc of stone.
Cs.pt. Vinton's command occupies a large
sebco!-house in one corner xf the I'laza,
noar ihcclwrch strong, and ct the same
time commodious and comfortable quar
ters. It ir, rompany 1, of the 3d artil
lerv, or "red-locged infantry," an it is now
called, from the fact that the men are at
this lime serving as infantry while they
wear Abe xed or artillery strips down
their pantaloons. I give you a list of the
officers, -who arc in good health; Captain
J. R. Vinton, Assistant Svrgeon Prevo,
Lieutenants S. Van Vliet and F. J.
Thomas.
The Cammanchcs, who have commit
tf d manv ravages in this vicinitv of late,
arc said to nave left for the mountains of
Fexas wita their prisoners and plunder, j
Many of the women and children from
the laujwnmgranciifs, driven in by the

The Rangers start out to-morrow on a
scout in tlie direction of Monterey, and
lodics of regulars with army stores will
probably soon follow. Every cne is
rjixious to get away from this place, to
move any where. You may think in
New Orleans that you know something
about Jiot weather and musquetocs.
You "dont know nothing." Some fu?s

Camakgo, Aicist 3. Troops still
continue to pour in, several companies
having nrrived since I wrote yesterday.
Ccn. Worth has moved the camp to high
and dry ground on the San Juan, a mile
below Cainargo, where the soldiers are
fr more comfortable. How Naiokon
used todis pc.se of his tremendous armies
is a mystery to me. Huddled as clo.cc or
closes than comfort will allow, even eight
or ten thonsand men here take tip a wil

RF.MLMKER ANNEXATION!
Don't let the art nor the consequences
pass out of die public mind.
Remember that we are involved in a
most expensive rnJ disgraceful V ar,
w hich had its origin in the Annexation of
Texas.
Remember that the Protective Policy
has been broken down by the votes of
the Texas Senators aud could not have
been without them.
Remember that Polk's Vetoes of the
River and Harbor and French Spoliations
bills arc justified in good part by the al
leged need of all the money in the Trca-
sury to cany on the War caused by the
Annexation of Texas.
Remember that the debt of Texas is yet
to be paid, and that she has a semi-official
guarantry that Uncle Sam will pay it.
It amounts to many millions.
Remember that the inhibition by Con
gress of Slavery in the Texas territory
North 3fr 30 nun. has been utterly scou
ted by Texas herself, and that Slavery
will exist there under the Constitution of
Texas in defiance of the Joint Resolu
tions consenting to Annexation.
Remember that Texas has been stretch
ed to the Rio Grande in utter deiiance of
the boundaries originally claimed by her
self, as we can prove by Stephen F. Aus
tin's Map, now in our possession. He
bounds Texas on the South-West bv the
Nueces, its true and well known limit.
Remember that it is the purpose of tiie
Annexations to carve three or four more
Slates out of Texas, and make them all
Slave States.
In short, remember that the whole dra
ma of Annexation has been of unparalled
rapacity, deceit, and gigantic iniquity, a
gainst which every honest man and lover
of Freedom should sternly and indignant
protest and struggle to the end. The
North has just united for once and plan
ted her foot on the landmark of No more
Slave Territory! Considering that Tex
as herself has utterly disregarded and set
at defiance one of the plainest provisions
of the Annexing Resolutions, letu-j carry
out the principle to its inevitable result,
and insist on having no more Slave States!
This is the true ground it is our ground
and shall be ever more. .

Judge Myers, of Clarion county comple

blast Furnace, which he christened Polk,
after his favorite and successful candidate
for the Presidency. Judge Myers was
and is extensively engaged in the Iron bu

of the British Tariff Bill and its approval
by the President, he has changed the

probably some also in the assurances held
out in the Clarion letter of Mr. McCand
lcss. as well as in the "Polk, Dallas and
the tariff of '42" inscriptions and bla

1814. Be this r.s it may, he has since c

LIFE IN CALIFORNIA
A letter from a visiter to California
gives the following picturesque veiw of the
social virtues to be found in those waters:
"Most cf the inhabitants are great
scamps; many not only confess that they
steal horses and cattle, but tkcv boast of
it. I bought a horse this morning that the
man is to steal for me in a day or two.
You will think this strange conduct, but
this same man was not only robbed but
beaten by the other; and there is no law
to punish them, so that he has to make
himself whole in the coin of his oppo

DESTUrCTITE FIRE.
About five o'clock last evening, after
the regular edition of our paper for to-day-was
worked off, afire broke out in tho
Steam Saw Mill of John M'Allisteii, in
the upper end of second street. The mill
was soon enveloped in flames, and the
wind.blowing a strong gale from the East,
the fire spread with great rapidity to the
neighboring buildings, and proved quite
destructive. .... --
The Saw Mill, the Burr manufactory
of Mr. WTm. Kneppcr, the Smith-shop of
Mr. Kunkcl, a small dwelling house of
Mrs. Wenrich's and one of Mr. Awl's,
and five or six stables were totally des
troyed, and two other houses of Mr. Awl's
adjoining were almost wholly destroyed,
the roofs being entirely burnt off.
The buildings were all frame, and we
bclive, were generally covered by insu
rance. The large brick dwelling house of Mr.
Verbcek now occupied by the Military
School, was in great danger. The roof
was frequently in a blaze and was consid
erably burned. The stable attached was
burned to the ground,
The roof of the
Roman
Catholic
Church and several other buildinge farther
west, were several times on fire. The
Hall of the Sons cf Temperance on the
cast of the mill, was also in danger, and
was saved from injury.
Considerable confusion prevailed a
mongst the Engine companies on their
first arrival on tlie ground, but after they
got proper positions, and were supplied
with water, they did great execution.
The progress of the flames was then soon
arrested. For the first half hour the fire
raged with great fury.
Considerable complaint was urged a
gainst the Sons of Temperance for keep
ing the Engines stationed around and
playing upon their Hall, whilst the fire
was making fearful progress on the west.
There was some reason for this, as the
danger to the Hall was not so imminent
as it was to the buildings on the west.
The Saw Mill was recently purchased
by Mr. M'Allister from Mr. W. II. Knep
ner. Greene County.
A public meeting of he "Whigs of
Greene was held in Wayncsburg on the
8th ult. Amongst the resolutions adopted
were the following:
Resolved, That the passage of M'Kay's
Free Trade Bill, by means of the casting
vote of the Vice President, in defiance of
the loudly expressed voice of the people
of Pennsylvania, is an insult to our un
derstandings, an outrage upon our rights
and a death blow to our interests, as an
important member of the American Union
and that our constant and united efforts
shall bo put forth to effect a repeal of that
"biil of abominations."
Resolved, That the energetic and un
tiring efforts of the Hon. ANDREW
STEWART, our Representative in Con
gress, in defence of the Protective Tariff
of 1S42 in getting up tlie National Fair
in advocating on incrcaee of the pny
of our brave soldiery in presenting and
urging a plan for shortening the sessions
of Congress, entitle him to the thanks of
his constituents especially, and of the
Freemen of the United States generally.
Resolved, That the Hon. SIMON
CAMERON, one of our Senators in
Congress, is entitled to onr thanks lor the
zeal and ability with which he has labor
ed to sustain the interests of Pennsylva
nia. The "Army of Chihuahua."
A letter to the New Orleans Delta, da
ted steamer Galveston, Lavaca August 1,
181G, says that all the troops of General
Wool's command, passing that route to
San Anionic, will take up their lino of
march as soon as the transportation is
ready, which will be in a very few days,
as all arc anxious to pitch their tents on
the banks of the San Antonio, and enjoy
its delightful bathing, and prepare for their
advance into Mexico.
The "Army of Chihuahua" will con
sist, so far as can be now ascertained, of

It

tlie
intention of Gen
Wool to
take up his line
of march by the first

longer, unless for the want of supplies for
the troops and transportation.
GENERAL GAINES ACQUITTED.
The Norfolk Herald says: "It is under
stood that the finding of the late Court of
Inquiry at Fortress Monroe, was favora
ble to Gen. Gaines. It is rumored, how
ever, that the proceedings are to be quash
ed, owing to some flaw discovered at
Head Quarters, and that the Secretary cf
War contemplates ordering a new Court
of Inquiry. What it is that vitiates the
record we have not been able to ascer
tain."

British Museum; in this country, fof the

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
The Men'gomery (Ala.) Journal of the
12th instant says: "As the passenger train
came down on the railroad last Sunday
ailernooa the cars were thrown off the
track at the curve two milca above the ei
tv. Just at the point where the accident
occurred, the embankment is soma sixteen
feet deep, and down this the cars were
precipitated with great violence, remain
ing inverted against some pine saplings
near the bottom. Of the ten or fifteen
passengers, by some rniraexdous interposi
tion, not one was seriously injurcd,though
.all were more or less bruised. Tho cause
of the accident was the insufficient spi
king of the ends of one of the iron rails on
the outside of the curve."

By the arrival of the steamship "Cale

files of English papers London to the
3d inst., and Liverpool to the 1th, inclu
sive. The intelligence both, politically
and commercially, may be considered ol
importance. The proceedings of the Bri
tish Parliament have been barren of inter
est. The dull monotony of a long ses
sion, now drawing rapidly to a close, has
been relieved by two nights' discussion
on the Sugar Duties.
The Government scheme has triumph
ed by a majority of 2G5 to 135, nearly
two to one. This result virtually abro
gates the monopoly, and places Sugar in
the same category as Uorn, by an easy
declension on the high road to FrceTradc.
Sir Robert Peel gave the Minister's mea

The Cotton Market was without any
perceptible change, and an improvement
had taken place in the manufacturing dis
tricts in consequence of the probable pas
sage of the new 'I arm Bdl.
Owing to the Tariff having passed the
more popular branch ot Congress, tne
value of Iron has risen in anticipation
a large export to the United Statss.
