Quite the most important • Intelligence brought by this arrival, relates to an attack upon a large.train by the Mexican guerillas, which has been partially successful. By the 'fanny we learned that a train was , to leave Vera Cruz on the morning of the .5111 ins:. for Puebla, under command of Lieuff CM. Mc- Intosh. The train had in ,charge yit225,000 in specie, of ; which sum elloo,ooo -.belonged to the paymaster's department, the remainder to the quartermaster's. One hundred and twenty-five wagons, and six hundred pack - 1 mules were in the train, which was (scone(' by 800 troops. The train left Vera Cruz on the 'night of the 4th inst., and on Sunday the 6th, • when it had advanced about twenty-fiv,e it was attacked by a large party of guerillas... 7 The place was well selected for the purpose by the Mexicans, being represented as a de* file broad enough for a single wagon only.— It is said, too, t•iat slight works had t hemi thrown up by the Mexicans to obstruct our advance. The attack was made upon each extremity of the train, and upon the centre at the same time; the principal point, howev er, being the wagons, •which were supposed to contain the specie. Private aqoun a represent that the attack was so far suce 1 hat forty of our wagons were destroyed igh not those containing the specie-4 wo,huhdred mulesr loaded with subsistance,„were taken; and thirty of, our men killed. The. American Eagle' of the oth say our loss is variously estimated at 'rom four l i to twenty, but private accounts, froll respon sible sources, giAie the loss, as, we have done, at thirty men. i: The check was so severe, that Col.

It is a long established principle that every 1 11 1 1 cause has its effect,. and every eifeet its eor responding cause. Not dissi ilar to this is the Saying that in every action man has some object in view, nothing being done but to the accomplishment of a particular or imagined r purpose., That disappointments occur, and that points ate often attained directly opposite to those at which the actors aimed, is not at all strange, when we see with what little consid eration mankind enters upon things, some times of the greatest importance, and with what carelessness and rapidity they_ harry along to the end, regardless of consequences, and which, instead ofbringing, glory, honor, and riches, furnish only contumely, regret and everlasting disgrace. Nothing will more clearly illustrate this fact than a brief examination of the proceed ings of the great mass of the whig party upon the annexation of Texas and the Mexican war. The annexation of Texas was an object in which President Tyler was known to take a deep interest, and hence their violent opposi tion to-it.' Not really because the eared the influence that it might exert, when a ' her of thiS glorious confederacy, for evil—not r .fear of a war with Mexico did they oppose its admission, but because President Tyler, whom they had elected to use, but could not, was in favor of the measure, they were deadly opposed to it: Here, then' was their object. Instead of occupying their seats for th4urposes for which the people elected them, to make goad and wholesome laws for the country, the whig members of Congress were there to throw ob stacles in the way of enactinisuch laws. In a word, they were there to "head him" (the President) "or die." This was their object; and how much of it they attained the public have seen. Again, after the annexation *of Texas had taken place, and President I'oik had superce ded Tyler, this same party arrayedthemselyes in ill their strength against any and every measure calculated to secure to the nation the blessings of the great act which' it had ljnst consummated, and when the Mexico army crossed - into our territory and murdered, k the most brutal manner, our citizens and soldiers, these same men threw up theirs for very joy.

If so, we point them to the unenviable position which those men now occupy who stood shoulder to shoulder; as they now'do, i with the enemies of our country in the days of the revolution, and Whose names have been ‘banded down to pos terity as traitors to the dearest rights of-man and enemies to their own flesh and blood.

That the collision between the steam er Chesapeake and the schooner John Porter Was the result of the most criminal careless ness and thorough contempt of human life on the part of the,offic'ers of, the former vessel; the night was bright, the Porter had lights both at the boiv and stern, and the Chesapeake ran into her, as a simple matter of lake eti 4uette just because she did not choose to hangehercourse, no matter what might come n the way. . 2nd. 'That, after the collision, the officers Ind C;i`e• w of the boat with one or two honor able exceptions,cexhibiting neither sense, en ergy or manhood—preyed themselves to be astards by cowardly deserting the women nd children ,consigned to their charge; and that a sound end safe canal boat, in a "calm summer's morning," would be in very poor hands if committed to the responsibility of a large Majority of them. 3d. - That the boat , was nn old, rotten, worn out, used up concern: that she was - badly ap pointed, worsely managed, and, in all a burn ing disgrzice to her owners for alt time to conic.. While it was known, by almosto very one acquainted With• her, that a child could have thrown a stone through her hull, she had but a single boat, without oars, and that was barely sufficient to save officers and crew.
