FACTS, RUMORS AND, SPECULA
TIONS. The Telegraph brought to the city
yesterday morning news of stirring inter
est, which was summed up in the follow
ing extra issued from our office:
- "The Telegraph announces that Gen.
Scott reached the city of Mexico on the
J 7th ultimo.
There had been a quarrel between
Santa Anna and Canalizo.
"Gen. Scott met with no opposition
till he was within eight miles of the city.
A skirmish then toolt place, but the Mexi
cans soon gave way, after which the civil
authorities met Gen. Scott and entered
into stipulations.
"One account, sent by express to Mat
r.moras, states that our loss was three
hundred; the account by way of Vera
Cruz docs not, as far as we know, make
any mention of the loss.
"The important item of the above news
that our army has taken the Mexican
capital we believe to be true."
So positive was the Telegraph's annun
ciation of these particulars, that we were
isot a little chagrined, as well as disap
pointed, when the arrival of the Southern
mail in the evening reduced these auspi
cious accounts to little more than conflict
ing and disputed rumors. Wc give litem
as they appear in the New Orleans pa
pers, hazarding no opinion ourselves, but
only the hope that the event reported
may be found to be true, and that it may
turn out that the heroic and veteran Scott
is in quiet possession of the capital of
Mexico,
THE NEW ORLEANS ACCOUNTS.
The New Orleans National of Satur
day, the 3 1st ultimo, published the follow
ing in an extra:
There is news in the city from the
city or Mexico as late as July 17th, It
came through by a Mexican courier, who
came by the way ol Orizaba and Alvarado
Jo Vera Cruz. Gen. Scott entered Mexi
co on the 17th of July. He met with no
opposition on his way from Puebla until
lie arrived at Pcnou, about eight miles
from the city. Here a slight skirmish
churned between his advance and the Mex
icans, when the latter fell back. Tho civil
authorities then came out to meet Gen.
Scott. Stipulations were entered into by
which the persons and property of the
citizens of Mexico were to be respected.
This accomplished, our army marched
quietly into the city of the Montczumas.
This important news reached here in
the Massachusetts, but ha? been withheld
for punosrs that we do not understand.
The atuhnrity upon -i,; we pUwisj, jt
evems to us undoubted. The courier
that brought this news could come from
tliecttyof Mexico via Orizaba to Vera
Cruz in Jive days if the weather is.good,
s.'vcn undor any circumstances. The
Massachusetts left Vera Cruz on the 23d.
It will he perceived that this allows seven
nys for the news to re;,di Vera Cruz hv
tli3 rent? wc have sUlci.
"Wcknow, upon the highest authori
ty, that there is aletiernqw in the city of
the 17th July from the city of Mexico,
The gentleman who gave us the informa
tion has a letter of the 15th, in which is
mentioned the preparation of families a
bout leaving on the approach of the Yan
kees. 'Santa Anna and Canalizo had quar
relled about the defence of the city. Ca
nalizo did not want the city injured, as
there was no hope of successful resistance.
He preferred to meet our troops in the
plain, and there decide the contest. San
ta Anna wouUl not agree to this, so no op
position was made.
'The entrance of Gen. Scott into Mexi
co fs a rumor. Front thd letter of the
15ih we know positively of the prepara
tion of the families in the city to move on
the approach of Gen. Scott, and of the
quarrel between Santa Anna and Canalizo
as to the defence of the city, and we know
that there is a letter in the city of the 17th
from Mexico. .
The courier that brought through the
letter of the. 17tlr brwughl news of Gen.
Scott's entering the city. Wc have no
doubt of the truth of the report"
The Picayune of the next day (Sun
day) questions the accuracy of the Na
tional news, and offers the annexed com
ments on it:
"We have not a doubt of the perfect
sincerity of the Editor of the National in
his belief of the intelligence, but we are
unable to arrive at the same conclusion
with him. We fear the announcement
is entirely premature. AH the intelligence
contained in the extra of the National was
communicated to us on Friday evening.
It did not then command our belief, and
consequently was not communicated to
our readers yesterday morning. Wc
have seen no reason to change the opinion
wc first formed of the news.
"Wc did not intend to argue the ques
tion of the credibility of this intelligence
at any length; there are circumstances
connected with its receipt here sufficient
to awaken doubt in all minds. It is not
surprising that a courier should have ar
rived at Vera Cruz, from Mexico in the
time alleged to have been occupied by this
courier; but that he should have escaped
all notice at Vera Cruz, where so many
eyes are fixed upon every new comer
from the interior; that he should have
made his way to this port on a Govern
ment vessel without suspicion; and that
the news should have been suppressed
till certain stock-jobbing operations were
complete all this is possible, but highly
improbable. But this we do believe, that
if Gen. Scott had entered the city of Mexi
co in triumph on the 17lh ultimo the
news would have been known in Tampi
co and in Vera Cruz by innumerable voi
ces within forty-eight hours. News is
carried to Mexico with wonderful speed.
The battle of Bucna Vista was ended the
nirht of the 23d of February, and the
news was known by the 28th in the city
of Mexico, nearly six hundred miles
distant.
"But further: Wc learn that a Spanish
gentleman is now in this city, who arrived
on the Massachusetts, who saw Gen.
Scott in Puebla on the 1 1th ultimo. If
this be so, there is an end to the whole
story at once.
" We have no doubt that letters of the
15th ultimo may have been received here
from the city ot Mexico. There havo
been ample time and opportunity for such
letters to reach here "via Tahipico, nor .is
it the first time that letters from Mexico
have come bv that route, and been at
tribulcd to the agency of a courier arrived
at Vera Cruz. We repeat, therefore, that
when this intelligence was first commu
nicated to us on Friday we did not credit
i, and upon reflection we can sec no rea
son to change our opinion But while
we thus frankly express our own con
viction?, yet we must confess that there
are very plausible reasons for giving ;
credence to this intelligence. We can
conceive no motive for an attempt to de
ceive the public with it. The channel
through which it has transpired is very
generally known, and we cannot suppose
me individual -.tUudcd to should entertain
the slightest desire to mislead 'any one in
the premises. And we know, moreover,
that gentlemen who are extremely well
informed about affairs in Mexico put faith
in this news. Sull we remain incredu
lous. It would seem to be pretty well
settled that Gen. Scott was to march from
Puebla about the 15th ultimo. We be
lieve that he did so, and that he would
certainly make his way to the capital,
whether opposed or not; but that he arrived
there on the 17th we cannot yet believe.
Wc arc very willing, however, to be un
deceived in tiic premises, and shall rejoice
as sincerely as any if he has entered the
capital of Mexico with as little loss as im
plied by the extra of the National. The
propeller Washington may very shortly
be expected here, and then all doubts will
be dispelled."
On the other hand the Delta of Sun
day contains the following paragraph con
firmatory of the National's statement:
'The National issued the following in
an extra last -evening. It scams stran-e
that this news should come by the steam
er Massachusetts, which arrived here on
Thursday last, and that up to this time
those in official correspondence with Gen.
Scott should not be apprized of it. Ex
traordinary, however, as it may appear,
wc have every reason to believe, from
mtormanon confidentially communicated
to ourselves, that it is substantially true
that the main fact of Gen- Scott's entrance
into the city of Mexico is a fixed fact."
And in still further support of the reali
ty of the news the New Orleans papers
of Monday contain further accounts, by
another route, of which we give the fol
lowing version of the Bee:
"We learn by passengers from Mata
moroa on board the propeUer' Wellington ,
. . !
which arrived here last night from Bfa
sos, which place she left on the 27ih,"ihnt :
on the day they left Matamoras an ex
press arrived-from the city of Mexico,
with letters to Mexican merchants in that
place, stating that Gen. Scott met with
the Mexican army at Rio Frio, and had
a hatt!f m whir-h iho onomv wprfi de-
J .....w,.. ...v, VIIVIU , -
feated and totally routed, with a loss on
the part ot the Americans of three hundred
men; after which Gen. Scott, with his
victorious troops, entered and took pos
session of the city of the '..Montczuinas.
The news was publicly read to the troops
at Matamoras, and, although it savors
somewhat of improbability, may never
theless be wholly true, for our readers
will bear in mind that, bf all the battles
fought and victories won on the fields of
Mexico, our first news of them was re
ceived from the Mexican authority, and
afterwards confirmed through American
sources. Wc incline to the opinion
(though somewhat doubtful) that our ar
my under Scott has again been victorious
and were then, as now in possession of
the city of Mexico."
From the Pittsburgh Gazette,
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Philada., August 9 0 P. M.
The propeller Washington has arrived
at New Orleans, bringing dates from Bra
zos to the 22d of July,
An Express had arrived at Matamoras
from the city of Mexico, stating that Gen.
Scott had met the Mexican army, con
sisting of about 20,000 men, and after a
hotly contested and sanguinary battle, in
which 300 Americans were killed, de
feated and totally routed.
There is reported to have been 20,000
Mexicans in the field. Scott was vic
torious, and with his troops entered and
took possession of the capitol. -
The news of the victory with orders
from Head Quarters, were publicly read
to the army on the evening of the vic
tory. FROM THE ARMY.

By the arrival, at New Orleans, of the
Steamer Mary Jane Kane, Tampico dates

Gen. Taylor still continues at Walnut

amounted to 7,000 men. As soon as re
cruits enough to swell it to 10,000 men
should arrive, he intended to march upon

A rumor as early as the 13th of July,
prevailed at Monterey, that Gen. Scott
had defeated the Mexican Army in a bat
tle near the Capitol, and was supposed to
have taken tho city of Mexico?
A few -days later accounts are looked
for from Matamoras by the steamer Fash
ion, which is hourly expected to arrive.
All doubt will then probably be solved,
in reference to the Mexican news, and
the movements of Gen. Scost.

ing important notice appears in the Gibral

We have been shown a copy of an or

to his governors and agents, authorising

vateering vessels entering the ports of his

DIFFERENCES IN ORTHODOXY.
In o:io of the districts of Alabamy, gi
ven over to democratic possession, two
candidates of the same party are in the
field. Ecch claims to represent the gen
uine democracy and considers the other
an interloper and a schismatic. Dr. Bow
don looks to the Administration as the
embodiment of democratic principles, and
steering by the constellation of the White
House, feels very sure that he cannot go
wrong. If James K. Polk, the chosen
of the party is not a democrt who is I
That is what Mr. Bowdoa wauls to
know.
On the other hand, however. Mr. Rice
openly charges the Administration with
having brought "disunion and distraction"
into the democratic ranks. -Ex cathe
dra is to be put ex ecclesia excommu
nicated. Here is the very head and front
of rebellion. But Mr. Rice does not
deal in generalities; he specifies; he makes
his charges distinct and direct. His in
dictment includes the following counts:.
1st. Getting the country into a war
j with Mexico, which might have been as
easily avoided as was a war with Eng
land oa the Oregon question. '
2d. The effort to tax tea and coffee,
on the pretexthat it was necessary to
carry on or support the war.
3d. The failure to reduce the price of
the public lands by the Democratic ma
jority in both branches of Congress.
4th. The attempt to supercede Scott
and Taylor, by creating the office of Lieu
tenant General, and bestowing it on. Tho
mas II. Benton, "a mere politician."
5th. The passage of the Ten Regi
ment Bill, and the clause giving the Pre
sident the right to appoint the officers, in
stead of entrusting that right to the brave
and devoted volunteers.
Gth. The wretched attempt to ham
per the resolution of thanks to General
Taylor with an implied censure. " -
7th. The refusal of the House of Re
presentatives to pass a resolution calling
on the President for proper information
concerning Santa Anna's return .to Mexi
co. If the President, says Mr. Rice, did
nothing wrong in letting Santa Anna re-
rn to Mexico vyhhont any disturbance
from our navy, why did a majority of the
House refuse to call on the President to
let the people knov all about the matter of
Santa Anna's return ? v
In a idition to these formidable positions
Mr. Rice takes another, which is likely to
insure him a triumphant victory; he a
vows himself in favor of General Tay
lor for the Presidency. lie does not
speculate "upon what may be Gen. Tay
lor's opinion in relation to this measure
or that, but supports him because he be
lieves that the interests of the whole
country would be well cared for by that
fine old gentleman and soldier. Bait. A

A TRIP UP SALT RIVER.
A few years ago, soon after the elec
tion of the lamented Harrison to the Pre
sidential office, on a trip from New York
to Albany we fell in company with an
English gentleman recently arrived in this
country, and who was making a pleasure
tour through the States. He had with
O
him a condensed map of the United
States, which he occasionally examined
with much apparent earnestness. After
some time wc entered into a conversation
with him, and found him to be a gentle
man of great intelligence and urbanity.
In the course of conversation he remark
ed, that since he had been in this country,
he had on a great variety of occasions,
heard tho terms ''salt river," "trip up salt
river," "rowed up salt river," 'rapids of
salt river" and "head waters of salt river"
frequently used in conversation among
others, in a way which he corld not un
derstand, and he informed us, that he was
that morning examining the map for the
purpose of ascertaining whereabouts it
was situated, (supposbig it a place of
fashionable resort) but that his examina
tion had thus far proved unsisfactory; and
he appealed to us for imfonnation. Of
course we explained to him the popular
use of the terras he alluded to, which
drew from him a hearty exclamation, and
a bust of uproarrous laughter.
We have no doubt there are many gen
tlemen in our midst, who are now ma
king inquires and examinations of the
same character with the English gentle
man, having cither forgotten, or never
known, the precise locality of that char
ming refuge for political exiles. It is not
our intention at this time to impart any
particular information as to its beauties or
location, but merely to exhort certain of
our locofoco friends to make all the ne
cessary arrangements for a voyage to
those pleasant parts. The time of de
parture is rapidly drawing nigh, and it is
important that the accounts should be set
tled up, the balance struck and receipted.
The setders there at present, require the
aid of Governor Shunk to instruct them
in political economy; the way the "indi
vidual liability clause" operates in the
case of Banking corporations, and the
Lehigh County Bank in particular; the
awful consequences of manufacturing in
corporations, conducted upon the facili
ties bt associated wealth; and the way
they "cut the buckle" down at the
Trappe.
His body guard, consisting of any
quantity of Colonels and inferior offi
cers, are needed to fortify the place a
gainst any incuision hereafter of the
"Mexican Whigs," and the "rank and
file" of the party to chant those beautiful
stanzas:
' Oh poor Cooney Whigs,
" What makes you look so blue,
"We will have Polk and Dallas
And the Tariff of 42;"
or else this sorrowful lamentation:
Oh poor foxy rats,
We're in a dreadful fir,
We would have Polk and Dallas
And the Tariff of '46. -
No doubt when our locofoco friends
arrive at their destined haven, there will
be great rejoicings, as they will find them
selves surrounded by the . whole family
of the "unterrified and harmonious,":
rtlevcd from the responsibility of
office, and deprived of no important pri
vilege, except that of plunder.
We wish them a speedy voyage and
pledge ourselves to lend all our aid in ht
ling them lor the journey

A SOLDIERS YARN.
The Louisville Democrat gives the fol
lowing as related by a returued volunteer
from the army:
I know a lady in Monterey who is
150 years old; she can walk four miles
per hour; she has a foot 12 1-2 inches
broad; her great toe is six inches longer
than the balance of her toes her height
is four feet six inches, and she is four
feet six iuches round the waist; she has
a beard as strong as any man, and wears
moustache?. She has been married sev
en times."
Gen. Irvin voted for the Bankrupt Bill,
say Locofocos. So did Robert J. Wal
ker, Mr. Polk's Secretary of the Trea
sury, not only vote for the passage of the
Bankrupt bill, but also against its repeal,
until alter he had taken the benefit of its
provisions, and thus squared oil" with his
creditors. Pa. Int. .
Old Zach a "FT." "As Gen. Tay
lor is from Virginia, I suppose he belongs
to. the double Ps," remarked a gentleman
the other day, half sneeringly. "Yes
sir-ce," replied a volunteer standing by,
he belongs to the double Ps sure, for he
is of aightingamily." . ,
Accidentally Correct. The Wash
ington Union of the 28th u!t. in publish
ing the Southern news, by some oversight
allowed the following truth to be copied
into its columns: "Gen. Taylor is still
at Walnut Springs, quietly, awaiting the
arrival of those reinforcements so often
premised and always pelayep.
The President f and his Rbverend
Accusers. The Rev. Mr. McCalU ap
pears in one of the Philadelphia papers
with a lengthy '.reply to the official an
nouncement made by the Union of the
falsity of the charge made by him against
the President. He reasserts that the
President did assure him repeatedly that
the two Catholic cha nlains. Messrs. Rev
A M m
and McElroy, had been appointed as
spies, and not as chaplains,
Ecclesiastical Libel. One of the
most respectable ministers of Massachu
setts, says the Boston Bee, has been pros
ecuted lor libel, in having read from his
pulpit a . sentence of excommunication
passed by the church. There is no alle
gation that the sentence was not well
founded, but the allegation is that there
was no good reason for reading it before
the whole congregation.
The War upon China. Wre are sor
ry to see the attack on Canton avowed by
the British Government. An official let
ter from Lord Palmerston to Sir J. Davis
has been published, approving of the late
operations at Canton river, "as justified
by the procrastinating and evasive con
duct of the Chinese, and as but calculated
to prevent more serious difficulties at a
future period.
The Way to Advertise. We were
shown a receipt for nine hundred and
eighteen dollars and seventy-five cents,
the amount paid in advance for one years
advertising, by Dr. Townscnd, in a Phila
delphia paper. The Dr. paid one of the
N. York papers more than double that
amount last year and this. It is not aston
ishing that his medicine has gained the
great popularity it has attained through
out the country, for he knows how and is
not afraid to advertise. N. Y. Express.
