BY THE COMMITTEE
THE NEW YORK JUDICIAL
ELECTION.
The returns from the western counties
are favorable to the election of the Loco-
foco ticket for Judges of the Court of Ap
peals. As far as heard from the reported
majorities in thirty counties place their
j
ticket about T5.0Q0 ahead. The vote is
quite small compared with what it was
last November. The New York Express
says :
In the eight districts, electing four
Judges each of the Supreme Court, the
Locos have carried the 1st, 2d, and Gth,
without much doubt, while in the 3d two
"Whig Anti-Renters are chosen, and the
other two in doubt. In the 4th district
the Whigs have elected Mr. Cady, and
probably Messrs. Hopkins and Simmons.
"The 5ih district, we presume, is Loco.
'The 7th has elected three Whigs, and
probably one Loco ; Mr. Jerome, on the
Whig ticket, having been stricken off and
SeMen (Loco) put on by many of the
"Whigs of Ontario county. The 8lh
district, notwithstanding the defection in
several of the counties, can hardly fail to
elect four Whig candidates for Judges.
The Whigs have carried a fair propor
tion of the county Judges, Surrogates,
and District Attorneys throughout the
State.
It shovld be remembered that all the
Whigs get at this election is clear gain, as
the old judicial officers are now, and have
been from time immcmmorial (with few
exceptions) in the hands of the Locofo
cos. From lie Pittsburgh Gazette.
The Pass to Saxta Anna. The form
of the pass granted to Santa Anna, as
copied in some of the papers is denied to
be "an authentic copy" by the Union.
Perhaps the editors will furnish us with
oue more authentic, and we are glad to
see the President railed upon to do so in
4!ic Resolutions adopted on Wednesday
hy the Whig county Convention. The
denial of the Union, however, is not very
good -authority upon public matters even
when they affect the character of the ad
ministration. The Organ may deny
what it will sirvre the President himself
answers most effectually its own denial.

LATE FROM VERA CRUZ.
We are indebted to the New Orleans
"Picayune" and the New Orleans 'Com
mercial Times" for Extras containing the
latest news from Mexico. The dates
from Vera Cruz arc to the 1st instant,
and the intelligence, generally, is interest
ing.
Gen. Scott left Jala pa on the 23d ul
timo for, Puebla, at the head of nearly
6,000 troops and had safely arrived at
the latter place.
Gcu. Shields is doing well, and was
6hortly expected at Vera Cruz.
Major R. Hammond, Paymaster U. S.
Army, died at sea, on the 2d instant, on
his passage from Vera Cruz.
The following brief note from Mr.
Kendall is the only from Puebla:
"Pcebla, Mexico, May 29, 1847. ,
"The division of Gen. Twicers entered
this city to-day, all well. There was ru
mors in the morning that Generals Bus
tameute ami Leon were advancing to at
tack Gen. Scott with an immense force,
but so far we have heard hothing confirm
ing the reports. Almost every one thinks
that the Americans arc to have another
great battle, but where no one can divine.
"The dilitreneia does not run between
this and the city of Mexico, and so far I
lave found it impossible to lay hands up
on any papers.
No one as yet knows what Oen.
Seott's intentions are as regards his future
movements, yet, small as his force is,
many think he will advance upon the
capital. V e shall know in a day or two.
The Picayune has the following letters
rom the city of Mexico, which are. en
dorsed as being from the best sources of
information. It will be perceived, how
ever, by the latest letter of the "Times
that President Santa Anna's resignation
iad been refused by the Mexican Con
gress, and that he still occupied the Presi
dential chair
Extract from a letter, dated Mexico,
May 29.
"From here I have nothing worthy of
notice to communicate except that Santa
Anna yesterday resigned the Presidency,
but it is not known yet whether Congress
will admit of it He was induced to take
that course from the opposition he meets
in his views of carrying on the defence
of the city, and from some defamatory
writings which appeared in the public pa
pers against his bad conduct. It is gen
erally expected that the Americans will
be here about the 15th of next month:
and, considering the state of things in the
capital, I may say that thev win meet
with but slight resistance on the part ol
this Government.
Extract from another letter of the
same dale
"Last week Santa Anna commenced
fortifying Guadalupe, Pcrion, and Miji-
catzingo, near the suburbs of the city; but
unusual disapprobation was the result,
and hence his reason for offering his
resignation. It is supposed it will be ac
ccpied, and that Herrera will receive the
nomination. There are only abou 3,000
troops in the city.
We make the following extracts . from
the correspondence of the "Times."
Vera Cnuz, May 31. A report by
way of Orizaba tells us that Santa Anna
is still in the Presidential chair ; that Va
lencia is Commander-in-Chief of the Ar
my, and old Nicholas Bravo Governor of
the State of Mexico. Juan Alvarez,
whom you may remember as the Sonora
robber, and a friend of Santa Anna, is
said to be rapidly approaching with ten
thousand of his Indian retainers, in arms,
and is expected to extirpate the Yankees
utterly.
The yellow fever is now getting really
serions amongst us. Thirteen cases ter
minated fatally yesterday, and to-day al
ready I have heard of the death of three
individuals whom I personally knew.
Colonel Kearney, the Government con
tractor, is now lying in a very dangerous
state, and people are thus falling around
me. Such things to an unacclimatcd man
like myself, are calculated to make one
feel ugly.
Eight o'clock P. .U The British
courier is in from Mexico, but seems to
know very little of matters in that neigh
borhood. He says that Herrera is not
President. 1 shall try to learn something
fjom the letters which he brings betorc
the steamer leaves.
Vera Cruz, Jcne 1. Well, our re
ports of Herrera's election prove to have
been premature, to say the least of it.
Santa Anna is at the capital, in much less
discredit than we have been led to believe
and in the full exercise of the functions
of his office. Upon his arrival he pro
posed to resign his scat, but contrived
matters so as to have his proposition re
jected. An election will take place on
the 13th instant, when it is hoped that
Herrera will be chosen ; but Santa An
na's creatures arc too numerous and his
position now loo favorable for the control
of the required interests to permit me to
indulge in such a hope in any degree con
fidently. He expresses an intention to
fortify the town, at least with a large
ditch and embankment, and to place a
force m the city capable of keeping off
the Americans ; for these purposes he de
mands four hundred thousand dollars,
and has impressed all the horses and
mules that can be reached.
A letter from a well informed German
merchant of the capital to his brother in
this city, says that Santa Anna has within
his control a force of near ten thousand
men, uesiucs mose on their ,,.
TiTfi f inn! f r nottn a vl .

t,I are about es ignorail as oureelvc. bn
.bW Zll'lLtAfZ papers that
, tnenu Santa Anna evidently gives m
importance to Alvarez's movement to
which it is not entitled, and it if doubtful '
whether he will get a reinforcement from
this source of three thousand men. Va
lencia and Bravo are said to have resigned
their respective commands. The Govern
ment is to be established at Merelia.
No disturbance whatever has taken
place at Puebla: on the contrary, the peo
ple (both of the city and country) seem
to be much pleased with their conqucrers
and trade is quite brisk. Communication
with the eeacoast seems only to be re
quired to bring all right again. Generals
Scott and Worth were both in1 Puebla
when the courier passed through that
city.
FROM SALTILLO.
correspondence of the picayune.
Saltillo, (Mexico,) May 17, 1817.
Lieut. Col. Mitchell and a portion of
the advance of Col. Doniphan's command
arrived here yesterday morning from
Parras, having arrived at camp the day
before. This morning before breakfeast
a number of men came in and announced
that on Friday last a detachment of Col.
Doniphan's regiment, under command of
Capt Reed, consisting ef filteeu men, set
out for the Rancho del Poco, about thirty
miles from Parras, after the Indians. At
the Rancho they were joined by a party
of some twenty men, an advance of Cel.
Doniphan's main command, and before
long the Indians came up. The conflict
was quite desperate, for the Indians fought
like devils. Cap?. Reed was wounded
in the chin and shoulder by arrows, and
several horses were killed. On the side
of the Indians- the slaughter was more
deadly. The allpowerful rifle caused
seventeen bold warriors to 'bite the dust,'
and the rest fled, leaving most of their
plunder and the greater portion of their
women and children. v e also captured
about 2,000 head of horses and mules
which they had stolen. Most of these
Indians were Lippans, and not Caman
ches. The whole of Col. Doniphan's com
mand will be here in a few days, and,
after remaining awhile to recruit their
men and horses, theyr will proceed down
to the mouth of the river. They have
now been in the service eleven months,
and, when they reach here, will have
marched two thousand eight hundred
miles from Fort Leavenworth, Missouri,
their place of rendezvous. They have
been constantly on the march for eight
months, and have been without tents 3mce
last fall, nor Lave 'hey drawn a single
dollar of pay since they have been in the
service.
C7Gen. Scott has issued a long proc
lamation, dated Jalapa, May 11, 1847,
addressed to the Mexican people, on the
recent events of the war, and the measures
adopted hy the Mexican Government.
He declares the war that is being waged
by his country, is not directed against the
property, the religion, and the) happiness
of the Mexican people, and gives the as
surance that he U. States is desirous of
peace. The Proclamation concludes with
the following paragraphs :
"The order to form guerilla parties to
attack us, I assure you, can produce noth
ing but evil to your country, and no evil
to our army, which will know how to
protect itself and how to proceed against
them : and if so far from conciliating,
you succeed in irritating, you will impose
upon us the hard necessity of retalliation,
and theu you cannot blame us for the
consequences which will fall upon your
selves. "1 am marching with my army upon
Puebla and Mexico I do not conceal it ;
from those capitals I shall again address
you. Ibdcsire peace, friendship and union;
it is for you to select whether you prefer
war : under any circumstances, be assured
I shall not fail my word."
THE ILLINOIS VOLUNTEERS.
The correspondent of the New Orleans
Times states, on the authority of Col.
Baker himself, that he brings home less
than one-half of the troops carried by him
from4 the United States. The bodies of
the other half enrich the soil of Mexico,
and their memory the military character
of their country. The '.Colonel also
states that but a single soldier of his regi
ment has been guilty of an act requiring
punishment, and his offence was amply
atoned for by a fine of seven dollars and
a few tours of double du'y. This fact
speaks well for the character of Col. Ba
ker's regiment.
ICpMr. Bfnton, Polk's would-be
Lieutenant General, was recently in the
city of Louisville, Ky., and inveighed bit
terly against Gen. Scott for the taking
of the Castle of San Juan dc Ulloa. He
said that the mode of capture was a gross
violation of all the established usuages of
war that there was another instance on
record of a General having compelled a
castle to surrender by threats of destroy
lug a city ! Prentice savs he shouldn't
be surprised if President Polk were to
give up the castle of San Juan de Ulloa 1
to his one-legged friend and then order
Gen. Scott back to capture it according to
rule !
The last U. S. Gazette says :
"We learn with pleasure, that the en
gineers of the Pennsylvania Railroad are
actively and successfully engaged in the
labors of their profession, and that many
miles of the road will be under contract
in a week or two."

GEN. TAYLOR AND THE PRE
SIDENCY. The New Orleans Bulletin publishes
the following extract from a letter writ
tea by Gen. Taylor under the date ol
May 15, bearing upon the movements in
his favor as a candidate for the Presiden
cy. It will be seen that the Old Hero
expresses a willingness to accept a nomi
nation u tendered him:
"In regard to the Presidency, I will not
say that I will not serve, if the good peo
ple of the country were to require me to
do so, however much it is opposed to my
wishes for I am free to say that I have
no aspirations lor tne situation. . ;uy
greatest, perhaps only, wish has-been to
bring.
er aid in bringing this war to a
speedy and honorable close. It has ever
been, and still is, my anxious wish that
someone of the most experienced, talen
ted and virtuous statesmen of the coun
try should be chosen to that high place at
the next election. I am satisfied that, if!
our friends will do their duty, such a citi-1
zen may be elected.
"I must, however, be allowed to say,
that I have not the vanity to consider my
self qualified for so high and responsible
a station; and, whilst we have far more
eminent and deserving names before the
country, I should prefer to stand aside if
one of them could be raised to the first
office in the gift of a free people.
"I go for the countrr, the whole coun
try; and it is my ardent and sincere wish
to see the individual placed at the head of
the nation, who, by a strict observance
of the Constitution, (be he who he may,)
can make us prosperous at home, as well
as respected abroad."
. PRICES AND WAGES.
The extreme prices which have been
attained in the markets for bread-stuffs,
nst cause the larger portion of our citi
zens to regard the prospects of the ap
proaching harvest with more than ordi
nary anxiety. Flour at $10 a barrel,
Wheat $2 15 a bushel, Corn SI 20, and
rye 81 40, with all other kinds of food
at proportionately extravagant rates, draw
too heavily upon the pockets of the labor
er and artisan whose wages do not rise in
the same proportion. It may seem that
such a state of things is highly favorable
to the Farmer, but it cannot prove to be
so ultimately, for it is unnatural, and the
equilibrium f prices must be restored
either by a reduction of grain to its just
rate, or increase of wages to a high mark.
Otherwise, in the end there will be a di
version of labor from other pursuits to
agriculture, and those who now consume
must become nroduccrs of food. Be-
a
sides the speculators and dealers in grain
aie rather reaping the fruits of the present
inordinate prices than the producers who
sometime since parted with the contents
ot their barns and granaries.
The locos will have it, though, that the
tariff of 1846 has caused the high prices
of flour and grain. Ten dollars a barrel
is to high for flour, and can generally only
be realized through the designs of specu
lators, or in consequence of extraordinary
scarcity of the article. But if, as the lo
cos would presist in asserting, the Tariff
of 1846 has caused flour to raise to $10,
the great body of mechanics and laborers
whose wages have not meantime raised
one cent, will have to determine for
themselves whether such a Tariff is a
blessing to them ! The Whigs never
claimed for the Tariff of 1842 the merit
of being able to increase the price of flour
to $10, while it left the wages of laborers
without a corresponding increase. We
gave for a Tariff which works equally in
favor of all classes. The locos will there
fore have, to recant their assertion that the
new Tariff has caused the present high
prices of bread-stuffs, or else stand con
victed of a monsterous conspiracy to op
press the poor and hard-working portion
of the communtity. West Chester Re
gister. Geological Discoveries in Alabama
Valley. The New Orleans Delta gives
the following account of some receut dis
coveries made in Alabama, by Dr. Dick
inson, formerly of Philadelphia.
"Very lately Dr. Dickinson made a
tour of inspection through that portion of
Alabama in which abounds the rotten
limestone formation. Heretofore this for
mation has been known by geologists as
a detritus from Shells, etc., but by the
power of glasses it has been proved to be
entirely different. Dr. Dickinson informs
us that it is a huge coral reef where gi
gantic branches shoot up several feet into
a beautiful arborescent form in its original
bed of the primeval ocean. At its base
are the fqssil remains of the huge zuglo
don, shark, fishes, etc, many of the for
mer from forty to one hundred feet long,
winding in serpentine form along the co
ral. Below this were found the remains
of an extensive sea, the bosom of which
i- i i f i -1 1 1 :
was iineu wun ocas oi sneus, vary nig
from twenty to thirty feet, in a fine state
of preservation. These beds yielded a
great variety of shells, many of which
may still be found in our present seas, and
hence must have been of comparatively
recent formation. Below this was found
a huge -oyster bed, imbedded inn blue'
marl of clay in their original position.
Some of these oysters measured fifteen
inches in length, and weighed from ten to
fifteen pounds. Succeeding this stratum
were found the bottoms of several ancient
seas, lakes and rivers, all yielding numer
ous fine fossils. Many of these fo?sik
Dr. Dickinson has forwarded to the Acad
emy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia.

Isaac Piatt Esq., Editor of the Pough
keepsie Engle, one of ihe most influen
tial Journals in the state ol New York,
states, under the authority of his own
name, lhat a young lady, a relative of
his, of very delicate constitution was at
tacked in February, 1842, with severe
cold, which immediately produced spit
ting of blood, cough, fever, and other
dangerous and alarming syroptons
Through medical treatment and care she
partially recovered during ihe summer.
But on the return of winter she was at
tacked more violently than at first, the
became scarcely able to walk, and was
troubled with cough, chills, and fever
every day, and appeared to be going
rapidly with Consumption ; at this time,
when there was no sine of improvement,
Mr. Piatt procured a bottle of WIS
TAR'S BALSAM OF WILD CHER
RY, which she took, and it seemingly
restored her. She got a second, and be
fore it was half taken she was restored
to perfect health, which she has enjoyed
to the present lime, without the slight
est symptons of her former disease.
The following we have just received
from Messrs. Fall, McCracken & Co.
agents for the sale of Wistar's Balaam
of Wild Cherry, at Lancaster. Ohio.
To the Public. I feel it my duly as
an act of kindness lo the afflicted, to in
form them what Wis tar's Balsam of wild
Cherry has done for my daughter.
There is many a parent who has given
up a beloved daughter or son, as a prey
to that fell destroyer consumption. 1'hey
have, as I have done, tried all the most
skilful and eminent physicians within
their knowledge, and all of the most
popular remedies that seemed to hold
out some hope for a continuance of life,
without getting any relief. C7To all
such who, like me, have been seeking
with trembling hope for some remedy of
real efficiency, I would say. seek mo
farther but try at or.ee Dr. Wistars Bal
sam of Wild Cherry. My daughter Sa
rah Jane, aged 17 years, whose life for
months had been dispnired of, and was
supposed a sure prey to consumption,
has been cured ; restored to perfect
health ; and that too by using five bot
tles of Dr. WISTAR'S BALSAM OF
WILD CHERRY.
