mtormation is
! in accordance wnlithat which the Gov
ernment possesses especially on this
important point of the time at which Gen.
Taylor is to lead on his troops to the
regular invasion which is to ''conquer a
peace with" or "a piece of Mexico."
It is now "thought" that the forward
movement can be made between the 1st
id tenth of next month.
Thus stanj3 completely vindicated, as
wc huve aIwavs confidently believed that
j would be, the d.-Iiberate and skilfully-
formed opinion ofthat experienced soldier
whom this Administration desired to
orce into the field some three months
carlier.in spite of every professional coun
sel: and whom, for Ids counsel, it has
soi:jht to punish., instead of listening to

sliould have felt that the patriotism, the
bravery, end love cf distinction itself of
Gen. Scorr, would not fail to urnc him
on to accomplish, at the earliest possible
moment, the preparations necessary to
bring him into the field in a manner that
would secure in action those supplies and
aids v.ithout which valor must fail of
every ihinar but its own destruction.
Ail this being now plainly a thing that
j is to Le considered as having come to
pass, we revert with pleasure to the fol
lowir judicious article, which we treas
ured up for the occasion now arrived.
It is from the Lynchburg Virginian, thc
worth, candor, and sense of whose Edi
?i tor are v,ui known :
, "Mr. Harm""-:1!'!, thc oilier day. moved
in the Senate for information why (Jen.
Tavlcrdid not advance into Mexico.
Thc resolution was not adopted. There
is evidently rreat impatience ftf at
Washington, under his inactivity .jus lined
though it be by considerations growing
out of the want of supplies and means of
transportation. The Adminisiration.clos
inrr its eyes to tiie way, is anxious for a
dash into the enemy's country. This it
wishes partly from thc hope of reflected
eclat, but mos'liy in order that Gen. Scott's
views as thc time at which effective oper
ations could be commenced may be pro
ved erroneous. We believe events will
vindicate his military sagacity. ' We sup
pose it would not be contemplated to
march into Mexico without a strong force
of mounted men. and it is nrcttv certain
the regiments of that arm cannot reach j cauea out ior a snort service couiu not
the Io Grande, and be sufficintly re--Joe "sed for this invasion: the other in
cruitcd, much before thc period indicated j that thc main movement itself
in Gen. Scott's letter. For the military
reputation of the country, a retrograde
movement is much to be deprecated, and

h: masterly inactivity until he is fully
readv to commence the campaign in au
efficient manner, linn to advance and have
to fall bock upon his si;ppiie. We are
persuaded peatTiTorts have been made it
urue Gen. Taylor to proceed. Hut we
hope he knows too well what is due to
his own reputation, and to the safety and
comfort of his gallant troops,' to' suffer
himself to be induced to take up his line
of march before every thing is fully pre- j
pare!. 1 ne mere handling ot troops in
thc presence of an enemy constitutes but a
fractional part of the duty and cares ol a
commander. Let any one read the des
patches of thc Duke of Wellington, duing
his Peninsular career,and he will see that
the cons: tan t subjects of his -anxiety -.and
complaints. To display the highest prm
nples of strategy in the presence of
French armies, commanded by such men
as Juno?, Marmont, Massenna. or Sotilt.

or to ug:ii me catties ol J afavara Sala-
nnneo, or Vittoria, was an agreeable rc-
which do not strike the mind of people
' generally when thev read oi a campaign.
The soldier is considered as a sort "of
heroic being, who rises superior to the
vulgar necessities of eating and drinking,
cud the General is supposed to have
j nothing to but to doplace in tlie field, in a
i certain manner, long lines ot troops.
" It must be borne in mind that the left
bank or the Rio Grande, though claimed
by us, is virtually an enemy s country,
ana mat netween nsnu uic aMicccs is a
desert. Texas, being a planting country,
ail(J ,in,J popular, cannot, iurmsn any

Equally appropriate to the moment are
therefiectiors of another Southern paper

lhe Eulaiv (Alabama) .tfduerliser. We
know not its politics; nor do we suppose
just and spirited sentiments so confined
jum anu spiiiicii seniimenis so coniiiieu
to a single side that the paper may not be
a Democratic one. Speaking of General
Scot's recent correspondence withthe War
spc
Department, it say:
"General Scott has rendered distin
guished service lo his country in the tent
ed field. lie bears upon him the scars of
wounds received in battle. He has shed
his blood, and was ready to lay down his
life for his country. And in an unfortu
nate moment, betrayed by the impulsive
sensitiveness of the generous soldier, he
wrote a letter containing one or two im
prudent expressions, which have been
caugut up tne press, and the changes
rung upon them throughout the whole
country. The veteran soldier is made

who can lock, without scorn, upon this
disgraceful farce this monstrous attempt
to make a noble soldier ridiculous in the
eyes or his countrymen. We trust that
there is generous patriotism enough to
rebuke this foul ingratitude, and to teach
these mockers that the illustrious services
of vears arc not to be outweighed by the
venial indiscretions of a hasty pen."
How stands, then, the fact Clearly,
that with all those efforts to which lhe
Administration has been urged by the ob
vious fact lliut it had voluntarily slaked
itatlf against the veteran and able com-inandcr-in-chrf,
and must or a fall
as to any excuse for its conduct towards
him, according as it did or did not accom
plish, at nomatjer what expense, a much
earler movement in .Mexico than he
pronounced possible, the first of Septem
ber will still find our army on the banks
of the Rio Grande.
Nor is it, meantime, to be forgotten
that, even at the cost "of giving serious
umbrage to two States that were foremost
in their zeal honorably to rush to the aid
of General Taylor, thc President has
been obliged to vindicate, in another great
point, the judgment of ; General Scott.
The one thought that the militia already

Nor must we here omit to cite another
document, amusingly enough furnished
by the Union itself, a lew days since, to
prove, in confutation of the letter which
we had copied from thc Baltimore j
?rgts, that General Taylor had little or
no resistance to expect, and looked upon
his triumphant advance to the halls of
the Montezumas " with r.n eve the most
sanguine
That journal introduces and
vaunts as follows another letter:
l4The Columbus Times, of Georgia,
gives a long and interesting account from
Matainoras of the 31st July, the very
date of this letter from Camargo. The
Georgia letter is writen by Adjutant For
syth, of, the Gorgia regiment. lie . de
scribes the scene of the battles and his
arrival at Matamoras with ' such graphic
vivacity that, il we can find room for the
whole letter, w e shall lay it before our
readers. , We content ourselves, for the
present, with the following extract. (The
reader will see how lightly old 'Rough
and Ready' speaks of a rencontre with
the enemy. Instead of expecting Par
cdes. with his advancing legions and con
non, Gen. T. apprehends that the Mexi
cans will not give him an opportunity of
meeting them at all.)" Union.
! Then follows the Adjutant's letter; and
' in this we beg the reader s particular at-
tention to what is repeated as the conver -
: sation'of Gen. Tavlor :
j In the morning we found Gen.
Twigg's wagon waiting lor us. and, hav-
ing donned our best militarv harness to ; diuary congress has decreed, and the ex
call on the General-in-chief, we enjoyed ecutive sanctioned, the following articles:
General J wigg s capital breakfast, and
thence proceeded to" General Tavlor's
! camp. T
The regular annv is miserably
supplied with ten's. Some companies
have not a ran to protect them from the
weather. We approached one of the
shabbiest we saw, and were told that was
General Tavlor's. The old gentlemen
was sitting outside, under a scrub of a
tree, on a block bench, conversing with
Major Monroe and thc Qurtermnster of
t of
the post. He received us politely, but
without the least ceremony or fuss, and
fell straight to talking. Now, although
the General-in-chief docs not possess
very remarkable colloquial powers, it was
pleasant to hear him. He seemed to
have no secrets; talked of his plans and
prospects: aid we should all go ahead
very soon: he was moving the rejrulars to I

water communication allordmg it supplies,

prospect of terminating the war without
the compulsory process of whipping the
Mexicans was through the mediation of
France or England."
Now, what does the plain-spoken,
straitforward old soldier really say
That he meams to advance, and wants to
ent! the war; that his means ol transporta-

Monterey;) and that if we didn't "whip"'
Mexico, we should have to make peace

Such is thc encouraging prospect put
forth by thc Government organ to jt:fy
the disregard ot Gen. Scoti s counsel, and
the Executive impatience at his not
marching against Mexico before an army
could be got readv.

She brought Intelligence of a revolution
in Mexico in favor of Santa Anna.
Scon after thc arrival of the steamer,
Generals Santa Anna. Almonte, and Rejou
left Havana in the British steamer Arab,
chartered for that purpose, to take them
to Vera Cruz, and they are now probably
at thc latter place.

The troubles of the citizens of ?Iexico
on the Rio Grande, are alluded to in the
presses of the country, and with much
apparent bitterness against the United
States.
Thc citizens of Mexico are called on,
in general terms, to rise ex masse, and
repel thcir invaders.
The government are sending, with all
despatch, extensive war supplies of all
descriptions to Monterey, to be at the
disposal of the Commander-in-Chief.

It requires ail thoo capable of bearing

in lhe defence of that department, and of

the inhabitants of each town will be im-
