The-New Orleans Picayune of the Bth ireht:
+is filled with accounts from -Mexico, am] a
.nunnber of letter's from one of .the editors, Mil
ligadall, detailing all the news that luitireach
•ed liim up to the 30th of June. We make
'the following extracts: .
'Get). Scott had not then beeri able to leave
e 4 le ' bla. He was awaiting the reinforcements
under' Gen. Cailwalader and Gen. Mow,
atvhO had not then arrived. (Some of the pa
!pers
mention that Gen., Cadwalader arrived
itt Puebla on the 30th. Letter's from Mr.
• Xendall q that date make no mention of it s '.
thotigh I was constantly expected. Ile was
at Perote about the 2idtlf awaiting Gen. Pit
- lotii.) - . L • .
The news from the,city of Mexico is very
indefinite. Gen. Scott is said to have com
municated to the government that Mr. Trist
was w'th hilh an I authorized to negotiate for
a Once. Santa Auna bad been in vain en
detiorinh to procu4 a quorum of Congrep
to ay Gen. Scott's cornmonication before at.
Mr r m •Kendall's letters rather ens rage the
prospects of an early peace; but we have had
acaess to letters from a very respOnsible
source in the city of Mexico, which take a
very different .view of the subject. The wri- '
tet. %hints . Gen. Scott will have to march into
Mkt° to secure a peaee: #
The censorship of t*press existing in
Mexico prevents us from knowing, what Incas •
bres to defend the city will be takdn. Santa
Abna was to leave the capifal on the 30th ult.
intending'to pass three days• in the country
for'ahe benefit of his health. It is said that
every avenue of entrance into the city is forti
' fiad, but the writer in Mexico, upon whom We
very much rely, thinks the American artily

rThe government of the city of Pueh:a has
been entrusted' to Lieut. Col. Belton, of the

The Star tells. a good stery of a party ,of
, giierrillas who Stopped some Mexicans who
are driving hogs in Puebla. They firs;
cempeiled the drivers to ply the usual city
tax on their swine for entering.the city, and
' then drove the swinr? (din another direction.

aforesaid halls as they will ever he. I hard
lv'know what to think of the matter. The
arrival of the heavy reinforcements known to
be on the way for Gen. Scott, combined with
the loss of confidence the Mexican leaders
' have in themselves and their followers, have
turned their feelings to a degree, and the
Must belligerent among them may now really
be in favor'of coming to terms. Santa Anna
although he will be very far from
starting the ball, will doulftless help to keep
it in tnotioo when it is once under way. His

ducts recuivel at New Orleans, from the in
terior,' in the course of the single year 1815,
is set down at over
f ifty se vensitillion of dol l
larsL—ani this, too, &trimg a year peculiarly
onfacurabh4by reason of the loiv stage o f the
rivers. The number of steamboat; arrivals
'at New Orleans during that same year, was
'2,530, and their united tonnage was estimated
to havi - i been 02,5900 tons.' An amount Of
steanaprit tonnage greater than that of.the
whole oftireat Britain. The whole steamboat
tonnage employed on the Mississippi hi 1815,
was mien arse and a voiles- millions ()Pons;
while the foreign tonnage of the-United Sta
te.: was only 4 , ,030,183 , tons., The very ex

nearly ei , hteen millions of d,illat-s a year.

together for the purpose of co kinifltiug dep

days previous had sedceedel it' steniling 159
horses from the traders and otherAJ ,
Major Edmondson had . been ordered out
for the purpose of routing them. At the
place indicated, he cane upon the enemy
rather suddenly, and not very advantageous
ly for his ' operations. He was crossing a
slough at the month of the Canon, which was
very miry, and many of his horses being in it
weak condition, he was forced to abandon
them, they Wing unable to get throttgh the
mire. The engagenient took place ti i n foot,
and lasted for some two hours. It was not
known how many of the enemy were 'killed.,
two Americans were killed and a third was
wounded, and reluctantly left on the crrotind
'when a retreat wits ordered. Lieut. 'Elliot,
In command of 27 Meta principaliy Lade le
rangers, rendered very efficient service at this
juncture. 11.3 occlinel a poiot of robks, and

it. Although old: Sol's- heat comes down

granaries, the syre precursor of well filled
purses. But then the farmer must have rain,
too—and it came on Thursday morning, Cool;
refreshing and invigerating. Nature required
it, and down it poured—first with a gentle spat
ter, and then with a iishing torrent, as though
the thiai 1 gates above had suddenly. given way.
We almost thoughtlwe could hear the waving,

wonderful , itnd astonishing information that

Tho Way to Toll It,
l‘rrs. Elizabeth Peters, of Boon county, In
diana, notices her absconding husband in the
following plain terms:, Mrs. P. might have
ltnoWn when her husband was courting her,
by his politics, that ho would turn out bad;
but we sum 4 she wanted l experience,
,and
has got it now if we mistake not:
. "Left my bed and'board last fall, thereby

Let our bachelor friend of the Gazette - take
warning—Mr. Peters was a whig, "a Henry
Clay whig." ,
,
(1 - 111 . r. Clay, in a speech delivered at Bal

view of the cense - wieners likely to fol ow, that
he would prefer, instead, that Heaven should,
in mercy, inflict upoii our beloved country,
"war, pestilence and famine." What do the
original Clay wings, who now ' go

for Gen. Taylor, 'who a year and a hair ago
was unknown out 4 the army, think of this.

emphatically "a tnero military chieftain,"

' JUST A.. wz DXPEOTE D.
We were never yet mistaken in our c:
Latins of the emirs of the whig party, or
presses. We have ,a case in point. On our
return from Chicago, wo remarked to several
-
of our p olitic all friends, that two weeks would
not elapse before thelGazotte would attempt
to make political capital out of the proceed
ings of the Conventicin. , This week's num
ber of that paper 'de onstrates the accuracy
of our calculation, in rt l
an attack on Geri. Cass,
characterized alike fo • want of candor,. truth
and•honesty. The letter of the Generaloietul
at the Chicago Convention, is seized upoii as
.the,pretext. The letter referred to was not
Written to that Convention—and should never
have been rend befort it. A delegation was
appointed to ate' d the Conventihn at a meet
ing held by the Wiz+ of Detroit. General
Cass was not ap ointed at that meeting, but
the delegates so ppo need wrote him a note,
inviting-him togs wilt them. The letter re
ferrd tn, and whi h h s called forth our neigh
bctr and caused so many unjust reflections on'
its, author, is sin',pl nothing more nor less
than a ndte declining, for good and sufficient
reasons we &lit: not, to accompany them.—
Now in this 'view of the case, and it is a cur- .
reet one, we cannot but regard the conduct of
the chairman of the Detroit delegation, in lay
ing such a 'noteliefore the7Convention,tts dis
honorable, and totally unworthy the character
of a gentleman. Such conduct is benealli
contempt, aid we wonder at any respectable
politician or editor givlnAlluntenance to it.
Were not en. Cass's views ;hell knoWn to
the people f the lake comity, it woulti hay?
been very p oper-in him tlj It 1.-o writtena let.
ter to the c nveiqion "dehni tg 'hit's posi ion."l
But, such is not the case, an the chairti an of
the' Detroi - delegation' lw li ' knew it—tll - .,
whole coon ry knows it—his course in the
United States Senate has - been bold and open
i on this, as well as every tither question, and
requirs no new :_editiiiti every six months of a
1 "manyfuld letter writer" to 'explain it—and
yet for the purpose of placing him in la false
light bek)re the people, this despicable trick
is resorted to. : 1
So much for Abe letter . .and now, to the
charge of the Gazette of :his non-committal
position in regard to the impfovernent of riv
ers and harbors. The editor of the Gazette- ,
knew the charge was false when he made it
—he knew he `was uttering that which lie
could not prove, and which the records of the
United States Senate, since Gen. Cirs became
a member, stamp with double distilled, pre
meditated and: unmitigated falsehood.," We
speak plain r -we are not ditiposed, whbn a
man puts forth:so bare-faced an untruth, upon
,su small a pretext, tolte mealy-mouthed in tel
ling him of ii._ If the editor of t'the Gazette'
lh id a good excpsefor misrepresentation, w
mild look upon him with,,charity, but when,
i
as in this 'tistance, there Is no exc:ise, nor
even the shadow of one, we ! carinothut regard
him lost to all feelings of political honesty
' and truth. No min had more iudueuce, and
exerted himself in,re to procure the passage
of the two last' harbor bills than Gen: Cass.
;lAnd none, we :_ have reason to know, exerted
his intioence More to induce the President to
I
sign them, th a n he. And yet/his - recorded

of the y
l hills, and his. repeated visits totand Im.
portutities i of the President, to inducelhim to

editor a f the Gazette. On the contrart, how
