The L nion Times, published in Union
county, a respectable Democratic paper,
rebukes one of its correspondents after
this fashion:
The writer of the communication in
question, makes some silly charges against
Gen. Irvin and Mr. Patton representing
them as "oppressors of the poor" "rich :
nabobs" "Iron masters" "federal cut''
throats," and many other tilings which
ve believe lo be unfounded, or founded
nly on misconception or misrepresenta
tion. While all are entitled to a free ex
pression of opinion on political questions,
ve fhould not degrade or convert the
press to parly purposes, to the deep in
jury of private individuals, as well in the
jmrsuii of their honest vocations in life,
:ts in that which is more estimable than
j iches their good Bame.
This is well said by an opponent, as
also is the following, from another Demo
cratic paper, the Sunbury American:
Gen. Irvin, on the other- hand, though
n Whig, we know to be a liberal minded
tnd honorable man. In advocating the
election of Gov. Shunk, we shall certain
ly not so far forget our regard for truth,
consistency and self-respect, as to Ira
luce Gen. Irvin as an Iron master, or be !
;umy oi ine sua more contctnpubla con-
luct of impugning his motives on account j
f his magnificent donations and the lib-1
eral distribution of his means forchari-
lame purposes, or the low demagogucism
which would array the people against
him on account of his wealth. Such ap
peals are degrading to the character of the
press, disgraceful to those concerned,
ttfid unworthy the character of a free and
enlightened people. Charity is one of
the noblest virtues that can be practiced
by man, and is much too sacred to be
made the subject of criticism by soulless
editors or profane partizans.

4. -That he i. opposed 'to "odious and

5. That he is in favor of a free exer
cise of the Veto Power, believing that the
Executive is better acquainted with the
wishes of the people than their immedi
ate representatives.
C. That he is the regular nominee of
the OKI Hunkers,
7. That if re-elected the office holders
throughout the State will he continued,
and the Commonwealth he relieved from
the dingers always attendant upon the se
lection of new men to fill the offices.
8. That his success will he a warning

9. That he is a man of talent (!) well
fitted both by nature and education to pre

10. That he is in favor of breaking

that the Locofoccs have introduced into

up the hopes of their friends over the

honest portion of their party, they have
made the most violent assaults upon Gen.
Irvin in Centre county, whose. unsullied
character, great liberality and well known
popularity, the sure presages of success,
have excited their vindicalive and malig
uaut hostility. The Betlefont Whig in
its remarks upon the course of the Lo

conducted by political adventurers whose

fallen upon evil times, and public virtue

The following paragraph is from the
N. O. Com. Bulletin:
"We repeat that orders have been for

abandoned, and he will not move from

"It is.Ieft wiih Gen. Taylor to select

intention of resigning the command, and

MEXICO.
TROM THE X. O. COM. TIME OF AUGTST 25.
At a late hour last night our kind friends j
of the Patria gave us a proof of the fol- .
lowing interc&ling letter, latelr' received.
by tlicia from a correspondent at Tampi
co. Aware of the intense, anxiety per
vading all ranks of the -.'American popula
tion at this critical juncture of the history I
of the war with Mexico, in which the.
destiny of the capital of that country lies
trembling in the balance, we'givc it to our
readers, as the reported freshet news from
the headquarters of the commander-in-chief
of the enemy. The account of the
council of war, hchl by order of Santa
Anna, seems authentic." For the specu
lations which the letter contains, on the
conduct of Santa Anna and his collusion
with General Scotland Mr. Trist, we re
produce them with extreme doubt of. their
correctness. Our readers, however, will
take them for what they are worth; or,
in other words, will give them that con
struction which their knowledge of the
man and the events of the war may war
rant: Correspondence of the Patria.
Tampico, August 16, 1847.
My Friends: Our intelligence from the
capital reaches to the beginning of the
present month, of which the following is
a summary:
The Council of Generals, convoked by
Santa Anna, were of opinion that Gener
al Scott should be attacked in his posi
tions; but Santa Anna said that it would he
belter to dispatch a divisiou composed of
ten thousand men, to take post between
Pcrote and Puebla, for the purpose of in
tercepting the trains and convoys that
were ui arching toward the latter place,
aud thus to get possession of the resour
ces which the Americans expected; and,
further, he advised that another division
of equal strength (ten thousand men)
take up a position between Puebla and
the city of Mexico, the remainder of their
forces to remain and cover the capital.
Santa Anna's plan was adopted. At the
preseat moment (the begiuning of Au
gust) there is in the city of Mexico a
force of 35,000 men, and as that under
Gen. Scott does not exceed 12,000 of
whom a certain number are- invalids
through ill health, it is improbable from
the rumors which are in circulation, that
the latter will quit Puebla, until he has
received considerable reinforcement j.
"This,,' says the Patria's correspondent,
"is the current belief in the capital, al
though here itis announced that General
Scott took up his line of march on the
7lh instant."
"There is a general opinion at the capi
tal that Santa A nna is in connivance with
the Cabinet at Washington, and that he
is disposed lo make peace on any pretext
whatever; but to the present time nothing
positive thereon is known, and it is very
probable that at the latest moment in this?
case there will be a reaction, since the
majority, as it is asserted, are disposed to
lose all rather than agree to a pacific ar
rangement in the present circumstances.
It is almost taken for granted that Gen.
ScoLt and Mr. Trist have a mutual under
standing secretly with Santa Anna.
"I have ( heard said that it has been
represented to the United States Govern
ment that it is highly uecessary to rein
force this point, since it is feared, and not
without reason, that oue fine day, when
such an event is least thought of, there
will be 7l general rising, and the whole of
the Americans here will be butchered. In
Vera Cruz as well they are without simi
lar fears. - M. S." .
LATER FROM GEN. SCOT! '3 AR
MY. The New Orleans mail having tailed
last night we are indebted to the Mont
gomery Journal for the subjoined inter
esting intelligence, which, in the absence
of authentic news, we give in the form it
has reached us, groundless as some of the
details probably arc. The only facts
which seem unquestionable are the re
pulse and plunder of our detachment at
the National Bridge, and the advance of
General Scott's forces towards Mexico:
FROM THE NEW ORLEANS PICAYUNE, EX
TRA, OF AUGUST 30.
The schooner Mississippi arrived from
Vera Cruz on Sunday, having sailed
thence on the evening of the 2 1st instant.
The most important news by this arri- i
val concerns the movements of General
Scott. There had been various rumors
on the subject in Vera Cruz, many of
which our correspondent knew' to be un
founded, but he writes us on the afternoon
of Saturday, the 21st instant, on what he
considers "the best authority," that the
vanguard of Gen. Scott's army was at A
yoila on Friday, the 12th instant, and up
to that date had not fired a gun. This
news reached Vera Cruz by a gentleman
who left Ayotla on the 13th, coming down
by way of Orizaba. Ayotla is but twenty-one
miles from the city of Mexico, be
ing twenty miles beyond the pass of Rio
Frio. -
The expedition which left Vera Cruz
about the 13th inst. to reinforce .Major
Lilly's command was composed of Capt.
Wells's 'company of the 12th infantry,
Capt. Ilaile's company of the 14th infant
ry, and Capt. Fairchild's company of
Louisiana Rangers, all under command of
Capt. Wells. They returned to Ve;a
Cruz on the 17th, after having proceeded
as far as the National Bridge, where they
expected to overtake Major Lally's com
mand. Major Lally, however, had gone
on, by subsequent advices at Vera Cruz,
it is known that he had carried up his
train in safety beyond Jalapa. '
The commaud "of Capt. Wells were
compelled to (Win thr
and they made the attempt to pass it, but!
found all the heights occupied by the1
guerrillas, who opened a heavy lire upon
them killing nearly all the mules aud fore-
ing the whole party to retire. They left
the whole of their" wagons, save only
one, in the possession of the enemy. All
the baggage of the-officers and knapsacks
of the men, which were in the wagons,
fell into the hands - of the Mexicans, and
little else besides the mail was saved.
The loss of men in this affair has been
five or six killed and three wounded,
and set eral men have subsequently died
from fatigue and exposure on the march.
About eight miles this side of the bridge
Capt, Wells, on his advance, detached
twelve dragoons, accompanied by Dr.
Cooper, with directions to go forward
cautiously ,-and, if they found it prudent,
to return and report the fact at ouce.
Nothing has since been heard of this par
ty, and it is supposed the whole have
fallen into the hands of the Mexicans.
These twelve dragoons we suppose to be
a portion of Fairchild's company. Dr.
Cooper was the Surgeon who went up
with the train. -
Capt.: Wells had five successive engage
ments with the enemy before the final af
fair at the Bridge. In this the Mexicans
had one piece of artillery engaged, from
which they fired grape, and were thus
able to make good their stand against the
command of Capt. Wells.
Major Lally, on going up with the
train, is said to have had a sharp skirmish
with the guerrillas at Cerro Gordo, and
to have expected another brush with them
at La Hoya. No accounts of these af
fairs have been received, but our latest
letters say that there is no doubt of the
safety of the train. No news had been
head at Vera Cruz of Capt. Besancoa's
company for a fortnight. It was out on
a scout when news reached there that
Major Lally required reinforcements, and
it is by many supposed that the company
fell in with the train, and, crossing the
National Bridge, continued up with if.
Others again think differently, and sup
pose he whole company has been cut
oil by the Mexicans. Such is the tenor
of our latest letters.
In regard to Gen. Scott's march, there
were rumors at Vera Cruz that he had
met the enemy and repulsed them after a
sharp engagement, in which he lost eight
hundred men. This the Mexicans re
garded as a victory on their part, as their
Ics3 was insignificant. Notwithstanding
these detail?, our correspondent writes
that there is no truth in them whatever,
lie also considers the announcement of
the Sun of Anahuac; that Gen. Scott ar
rived at Ayotla on the 1 Ith, as a state
ment hazarded upon mere rumor. He
has confidence in the veracity of the man
who arrived on the 21st, and declares the
vanguard of Scott's army to have been in
Ayotla on the 13th, having met no resist
ance so far. Both the Vera Cruz papers
and our correspondent believed that Gen.
Scott was in possession of Mexico by the
20th instant, but they had no information
to this effect.
We have no letter direct from the ar
my. The Bokt'.n de las Noticias, of Ja
lapa, says that more correspondence from
the army h: s been intercepted by the
guerrillas. This paper appears to have
advices from Puebla to the 10th instant,
but only stales that the last division of the
American army left on that day, 4,000
strong.
The New York Tribune says that the
work on the Erie Railroad is being push
ed with great energy. Over seven thou
sand men are now engaged on the difier
eat sections. The earnings of the com
pleted portion are large, and sufficient at
present to pay the expenses and the in
terests on the new instalments.
The St. Louis Republican says the
volunteers in one of the Indiana compa
nies returned home from Gen. Taylor's
army, on the day of election, and all of
them marched up to the polls and voted
against Petlittthe Locofoco candidate for
Congress in the district.
