ifor 'a on the 25th of February, Carson arrived
in St. Louis about the middle of May...mak
ing the journey, notwithstanding the inclem
ency bf the season, and a detention of it in
days at Santa_ Fe, in a shorter time than it
Was ever before aCcomplished. The unset
tled state of the country, the war with Alexi•-
do, InCiting the savage tribes to unusual li
dente and daring—added much to the inevit
• Ole hazards and privations of the journey,
tendering the most unceasing vigilance nec
essary night and day; while 'the speed with
Which the, party traveled debarred them from
the usual resource•of trvelem in uninhabited
regions, and they were fain to resort to
the i unsavory subsistence of those Ilippop
hao of the Sierra Neuveda; only converting
the poor beasts to food, however, when they
were travel-worn and eximptned. ,'
Fortunately, the journey was made in its
extent without serious mishap, and Carson„
with Lieut. Beale, his comrade in the night
.margb to San Diego, and Lieut. Talbot, the
yuueg getitleml;M who led the gallant retreat
of the little party of ten through the enemy's
tnids , a distance of three hundred miles from
Sat Barbara to Monterey, are all now in
Wit hington. .
Since Carson's arrival, solely through the
alreciaiion by the president of his merit and
se ,vices, he has received a commission of
lieutenant in the rifle regiment of which Mr.
Fremont is the lieutenant colonel. The ap
pointment, was unsolicited and tnxepected—
the auggebtion entirely on the recognition of
the desert's of this man of the prairies—a fact
that is most honoral to the Executive, and
makes the favor the gratifying to the friends
of Carson. /'

siege on, the afternonn of the !Stk. The'
news is'only one day later.-
I. • The main interest excited by this ar lye',
says one slip, centers on the report co mu
. nicated to the Jas. L. Day by Mr. Clefton,
the liilot of Tampico, who boarded her on
the Ifitb off that city. He states that they
were da ly in expectation of aP -attack from

strong in the vicinity. On the night of the
12th mat., a demonstration was made by lire
' Mexicarts in Tampico to rise. The
i Ameri
can authorities however had timely nform
: tion of the contemplated movement and to
~•, .• suppress' it if attempted, calling out the troops I
who laid on their arms all night. There i
were do demonstrations of revolt made.
On the I . sth instant a party of Mexican
Lancers however attempted - the out posts of
Tampico and drove the Sentinels into the city.

The- barque Mary, of Baltimore put into
Tampico on the 16th inst., for supplies and

was not known—they were however of such

to say that Paymaster Bosworth, who sailed

died in Vera Crux of the vomito. His re
mains were brought back on the Massachu
setts, in charge of his brother.
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. Mcfn-'
tosh determined not to hazard an advance
without reinforcements: Our troops accord-'
ingly entrenched themselves behind their
wagons and despatches were sent aro Gen.
Cadwallader at Vera Cruz. The, general left
On Monday evening, the '7th inst., with a force i
Ocubo6l-five hundred men and four,heivitzers. I
Private accounts say further; that on the tOth 1
a part of the voltigeurs also left, with four
howitzers, to juin the train.

morning of the 11th, the day the Massachu

patched to this port on the propeller Wash-
ington, which may be hourly expected. Her
letters may bring us further details. ''',

But the audacity of these guerillas does not
stop here. They are entering Verateruz and
stealing our horses.- For several nights
alarms had been created in the city by these
prefatory attempts. Private letters say that
sixty horses were stolen front one pen in the
immediate vicinity of the town. A regiment
of Texas rangers, it seems to us, would find
ample scope for employment in- the
,vicinity
of Vera Cruz.

The "New York Sun" of yesterd morn
ing contains a letter from the city o Mexico,
of the al st May. It, states that the heads of
the church, including the lending bishop, were,
from the begining, opposed to the war; but
that a great fear of the military power still
prevails; that "Santa Anna bears the curse of
the Mexican nation—it will pursue him to his
death. He has lied to, and betrayed, his cred
ulous country cruelly. When he arrived
t here from Puebla, but a few days ago—and
Die came in hot haste—the leperos of the city
pelted him with stones, and he only escaped
from death through the,assistance of the mil
itary aad police to the national palace. His
power is gone—his army broken up—and
henceforth the friends of peace, 'the clergy,
merchants, and planters, may .save the Winn. 1
The fortification of the city is abandoned.—
Only the rabble were in fayor of such a move,
which would have devoted per beantifill fabrics
to ruin." - The writer says, that "as General-
Schtt approaches—and we expect him every
moment—a thousand tumults and rumors are
taking place. First, Gen., Sdott is reported
dead—then his army dispersed i —then the vic.
tory of some Mexicans somewhere; .and when
all thes rumors end like Santa Ann's despat h
from Buena Vista, or the Mexican story of to

succor. Every good than lifts up both hands
I to welcome the American army. When that
arrives, we shall be rid of mit. tyrants and have

pray. We have no government, no means,

What is their Object?
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. Ever since that time eof them
have manifested the greatest gratification at
the difficultiei and dangers that our brave sol
diers have been called upon to endure; throw
ing every impediment in the way of their vol
ty upoti mem 'try Instuttirtint," ItraTivalt WM:
a drunken rabble ; wholly unfit for the service
for lich- they had enlisted. We are con
strained to ask, what do they expect to gain;•
"what is their object in taking this courser
Can it be to gain pupullarity, to accumulate
power? Can it be that they have so mistook
,the good and the right way as to go against
their country, her klearestirights, and evn the
lives of their own fellow cair_ins, thinking
that they are in t he path of duty! 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. Is
it to gain favor in the eyes of their country
men, and thereby secure to themselves high
and profitable stations in the nation? We
warn'them against' such a course! Look to
•the fate ofall of your kin who have gone be
fore you, and tale Warning; i t ernemberthat
they ha l ve all gone down to the grave "un

by friend and foe, consigned to the solemn

Our readers have tiOubtleas seen by thelaist
paper that our junior:partner, who has attend
ed principally to the edittirial department of
the paper, for the hist two' ,ears, is absent on
a visit-to Phicogo; l and a fOrtion of what but
a few years since was termed the "far west."
In his absence it becomes our duty to devote d
what time we can iiipa!re Irma our official du
ties—which I's - not the editorial de
partment of the Observer. llt is So long since
we have done anything at editing that it would
seem almost necessary, in conformity-with
the long established custom of the editorial
fraternity, for ue to start off with a "bow" to our
readers,
,but our thinking and writing powers
have both become so runty from neglect, that
we, hardly" think we could do even that
with a `good grace; so we shall not attempt it.
The fact is, our tjuis and mind has been
constantly devoted to the business affairs of
the office—to dunning and being dunned; to
collecting debts and paying off demands a
gainst us, and providing the means necessary
in carrying onourbusiness; and if such thiligs
would not knock the poetical corners off a man
and spo,ll his fine taste for prose (provided he
had any) we would like to know what would.
We Anil therefore devote our spare time and
the best , of our abilities, to the colUmns of our

variety-and interest, its readers can console
themselves for the loss! by anticipating that
upon the return of the ?'writing editor," they
will be amply repaid, in its improvement.
Lou Of tho Ohoiape.ke
G. W. Bradbury, editor of the Cin
cinnati Sunday News', and a: passenger on
board the Chesapeake it the time of her col
lision with the schooner John Porter, by which
both vesselS!were sunk and a number of val
uable lives lost, has published published a long
statement with regard to it, in which he ac
cuses the officers of the boat as follows,:
I 1 41st. 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.
And finally," taking.all things into consid
eration, from beginning to end, a more wan
ton and infamous, disregard to human life—' , a
more absolute violation of the commonest laws
: _ii +4..... 4.1, Ir. .4 •ni , yoitanl tl!et
of fitimanity-fha never been manifested l:fy
ever notteu. -
All these charges he•says lie can prove !:iy
the best of evidence, and t h at he has taken
the necessary tps for so doing before the
proper tribunal. It is, a sorry picture of dis
regard for the lives and property of our fel
owe; and if the itßove statements are sub
stantiated, we h pe to see an example made
of the case, wh ch will forever deter the
enaction of a lik scene. It has become a
Universal practi e to publish thoughout the
I
land, immediate! upon the occurrence of, each
an accident, asott of stereotype "card to the
public," exonerating the persons in charge of
boats, rail road e rs,liic., and lauding them to
the skies for the r " coolness l and bravery."
Now we will venture to assert that not one
in ten of these "u}tevoitlable" accidents occur,
which are not th ough the utter neglect, wit-,
fulness, or carele sness of those in charge, and
that these "cards ) to the_ public"'are got up by
the Tasters, managers, or persons deeply in
terested in the mqeck—and further, that they
are generally signedlby l perhons who do not
know whether their statements ar'e true or false.
We are ied to O L r conclusion from the many
accidents that liappentind the stories that
aro invariably put in circulation in
( direct
contradiction to those "cards." ' We look up
on these things s as hig ly wrong, operating
as they do as a sort of opiate upOn communi
ty, lulling them, to ale, p on the very brink of
i lt
ruin. Let censure from the traveling pub
lic fall upon those who deserve it, and Our
word.for it, four fifths of the accidents which,
are daily occurring upon our lakes, rivers and
rail roads will cease.
