The report of another extensive massacre of Mexicans, 'twenty r four in number, by a party of Americans, in Mexico, mentimied in our telegraphic report yesterday, appears to be too ‘xell attested to allow of being identi l;ed with the similar, massacre of which we received accounts some weeks since. A let ter to the Picayune, written near Mowery, April 35th, states that "near a little town called Guadalupe, near Marin, at American was shot two or three weeks agqi4nd his coin panions and friends determined to revenge his death. Accordingly a party of a dozen Or twenty men v,isited the place and deliber ately murdered laWesity-four Mexicans.

Santa Anna is at prestmt in Orizaba, re= cruiting' troops to prosecute the war with vigor, although it is said he has been depri ved of the command of the army, which has been conferred on Gen.

Wlidn you come to towh,.nnd wish to buy goods, always call on those merchants wht advertise in the Obseri . .er. Those who do not, of course do not want your custom, and it would be fdolish, very, to impose on them by trading at their couriter ! i. You can always buy goods cheapest of those oho in their lur siness transactions know no politics, but through the-columns of both Whig and deniti cratie pape'rs send forth their advertisements: When merchants advertise exclusively in Whig. papers, it should be naturally inferred that they, wish to sell their goods exclusively to Whigs—lim can put no other construct/on up 'on It. If they wished democrats to buy,. they certainly wouli thke measures - :to letLtleino crats know th,Or place of business, and their stock 111) trade. This will equally apply'- to those who advertise exclusively in democrat ic papers—though we aregiud to say none of Our democratic friends and very few real 'whips, have fallen into this \proscriptive course': anti We‘are confident never will! - We say then to our democratic friends in thecountry, trade with those who. want your custom! 'Thor Opuntry Press We are , daily told about the cheapness of, / Alit , .oty papers—Auch as ill xander's Mes senger, Saturday Courier, Do lib' NeWspaper, and like. I' here arcrlar el 'nurnh2rs of them taken in this coiityi-.n ” P ily of them by persdns whose' ,names haVe ”Pity of been seen on any of the subScription ho its of their own county, papers; but who ini•.riably borrow those .papers, of their neighbors to .read;— Such men estimate the - vallie a paper by the number of inches it contains, just as they do a Pile bi. boards. They tell us they contain a great deal more matter thaittlours—have no advertisements in thera r .aniD consequently must be cheaper. Now we'have no objection to people taking as many paperp as they please —on the contrary our advise i t lo take all op can afford, and there is no farmer but can .af ford to take two or three. if a man has a family, a newspaper -will beomore real ben efit to his children in the courseof a year than six months at the district school, especially when those schools are conducted as too Many of them are at i present. But he should not ne glect to take his county paper because, in ap pearance, it may not seem to be as cheap ! as some of the hot-bed publications with which New York and Philadelphia abound. We say in appearance only are they cheaper, for we care not how poorly conducted a county paper may be, it is always the best paper for those living in the county where it is publish ed! There is no mistake in this. They al ways contain more mat ter v‘ihich directly cot cents them than any.ether. - County papers too aro devoted exclusively to the interests of the county in whieb they are published, and for this reason, if no, other, should receive a liberal support. Tho hotter they are sustain ed, the' mdre useful they become. No one can deny that a paper .in a county is a Vast benefit to its inhabitants-.-then how manifest ly unjust, not to say dishonest, is it for two thirds'of those benefitted to send their money to Philadelphia or New York for a paPeriand 'not help supped those who are weekly enga ged in. promoting I their interests. We trust our'frien'ds will hear these facts in mind, itcl when they feel dispeied . to "giumblo at their bills'for Newspapers, to think what a reproach their county would be if itiontained none at all." \ , The Feder Isis and the War., Thatsterling dem . retie. papor,the Lancaster Intelligencer, at the loSeof some pertine nt re marks in regard to , fie tortuous course of its federal cotemporark- in Lancaster, in regard to the war, says it ' would not be surprised if the federalists wind soon,claim the credit of having originated t e ware" And wliy not, pray?'
