Our latest previDus accounts wero to the 3d of May. At .hat time Gen. Price was under orders from Gen. Butiler 'to surrender the property captured at Santa Cruz, and fall back—evacuating Chihuahua—to the place where the first intelligence of the armistice reached him. Title order Gen. Price had not carried into execu tion; and it was probable that he would, not lease Chihuahua on his ret irn to Santa Fe and the United States, until the return of the express which he had despatched to Washington for ;instructions for his future movements, depending, of coarse, upon the relations existing bet Ween the United States and Mexico. It was believed that Gov. Fries, who was re-organizing his army at Panel, meditated mis chief. He had no artillery, however. Lt. Colonel Lane had been tried for using insulting language toward his superior officer, Col. Rails. The result had been mado public..• Major Spaulding, paymaster at Chihuahua, was dangerously sick with a disease of the heart. Cul Newby, of the Ist Illinois, had chastised the Navajoes, and they had sued for pence, which we granted. The substande of the terms is as follows: A mutual trade shall be carried on between the parties: the people of the'United States and those of New Mexico, during its occupation by the Uni ted States, being permitted to visit parts of the Na- Navajo country, and the Navajo Indiana to visit all patia of the United States and t of New Nexico du: hinfits occupation as above, Without molestation, ao with full protection. There shell be restoration of all prisoners held at the date of this treaty, by either of the parties. The peoplo of the United States guarantee, du ring their occupation of New Mexico, the strict ob servance of this' treaty by the people of the terri tory. - The Navajo Indians will deliver to the acting as sistant quarter-master of the United States, three hundred sheep, and one hundred mules and horses; such delivery to be made as indemnity in full for the expense incurred by the people of the United States In the campaign. MURDER IDI ILmvots.—The following particulars of a murder in Waynesville, Pulaski county, 111., are given in an exclienge paper. The crime was 'perpetrated on the Nth ult. The names of the par ties were Edward H. Dorrell, Esq., a lawyer of the place, and Dr. Joseph Dallenger. The cause of ill blood, was one of un aggravated nature. It, appears that Dallenger made a charge, publicly, predjudicial to the hitherto irreproachable character of Mils. Harrel. On Sunday,'Mr: Horrel, in the presence of witnesses, refuted the slander Mis charge by unmis takeable evidence. Ile then told the doefor that it was his intention to Jcill him, and would do it at that time if it were any other day but Sunday. On the Monday following, Dr. Dallenger rode to Waynes ville. On the road he was told that HOrrell await ed his arrival, swearing to take his life. He did not heed the warning, however, but went on, and as he passed into town, liorrel, w itit a rhle, from acovert, shot him dead. The grand jury of the county has found a bill of murder in the first degree against Morrell. Dr. D. was formerly of Cole county. GENERA La BUTLER xxn TA YLOR.—The recent ap pearance in Court at New Orleans, of these two dis tinguished soldiers, who were summoned to answer in regard to the complaints of some of the volunteers who wanted to be discharged, is spoken of by many of the Southern papers, as a remarkable coincidence, and not likely to occur again ih many years. But these prints do not say, what they could have said quite as truly, that this very coincidence furnishes the occasion for a contrast 'at least as worthy of no tice and of record. ‘Ve do not allude to that which must have impressed every spectator on the occa sion alluded to—the vast intellectual superiority of Gen. Butler, over his heroic competitor and com peer—as proved by the easy, eloquent vindication of himself and the administration, in regard to the charge of hating been privy to the alteration in the final order fur the disbanding of the troops. We do not allude to this contrast, strong and significant as it was. There was another, more general in its char ecter, and quite us striking. Here were two military leaders, both heroes in the present wen—the one severely wounded at Mon terey—the other, more lucky, having commended at four battles without receiving a! scratch. Return ing home, they find themselves named, Taylor, for the highest, Butler, for the next highest office in the gift of the American people. But, strange to say, not by the seine party! Heroes in the same war, it was natural that they should have beeu candidates of the same party—at least while the war was de-,! nounced by one division, and defended by another division, of the people of the cowry. . But not so! Wu. Tuylor is the nominee of those who have been his ouni.bitteiest foes, during his ab-, - seine; fo u r it is sadly true, that if the expedients of present friends had succeeded, while lie was in Mexico, he never would have liYed to conic home to accept their tardy honors—he would have tilled one of Mr. Corwin's "hospitable graves." Look at his backers! To find out their names-, take the proceed ings of Congress, of the various State Legislatures, and of the town and county meetings, held all over the Union, since the present war broke out, and you will find them eminent among . those_ who by their Notes and by their. speeches, ha f ve been aiding and ,coniforting.theMexicans, prof acting the war, and annoying and impeding the operations of Gen. Tay lor. It may be said with truth that the great mass of the anti-war champions are the friends of Gen. Taylor! • Nowlook at the men who gathered around Wit liam 0. Butler! You will flul that wherever there has been all eloquent voice raised for the war,at home, or a stout sword drawn for it abroad, that voice is now raised, and that sword noW sheathed, as a tri bute to the cause of the countri , , in the person of the Democratic candidate for the Vice Presidency! The soldier who would like to support Taylor, shrinks back with horror when he seek who are his friends, but rejoices that the bannerol Butler is still upborne, and flies in the air of heaven unstained either by in consistency or,insult. Gen. Taylor stands at the head of his friends tutor lified.and "ashamed of his associates"—and not the .lees eso when his eye glance-`i at ths masses who 'gather around Butler, and then he observes the proud and triumphant air of that gallant General. Is not the contrast one that leeerves to be record ed in the newspapers?—Pennkylvernian.

Of this class father Baraga is an excellent example—modest and unassuming in hip manners, but classically learned and possessed of rare energy, and purely interested in spiritual affairs, he has built houses, established schools, and a church, at his own expense--teinehing - the childtjen himself, devoting 'his life to the service of the dusky suns of the for est, and serving God devoutly by doing good to his 'fellows.

Its course is not always even, sometimes descending into deep valleys, at others rising to the top of lofty moun tains. Its height constantly° varies, being much greater in certain situations, especially in the val leys, Whilst in some places it does not rise hig4r than fifteen feet. In some parts this " wall is built entirely of stone in others of brick, in others of stone and brick mixed; and such is its breadth that carri6- g,es can drive along the top with ease.

Tailor certainly is f iready to swallow theltthole of C l üba anti all of Mexico, without stopping nt the Sierra Mahe, or at any point short of the fistliOis of Pan:m i ta. Let us see hew Gen. Taylor stantls on the subject of the extension of our territory. The following is an extract from a letter Men b y Gen. Taylor when on the Rio Grande line of operations: "I do not intend to carry on my operations previ aisle bUlted) beyond Saltillo, deeming it next to imprac tical-de to do so. It then becalm:, a question as Ito what is best to be done.

A course of this kind, if perseveral in for n short time, would soon laiiug her to her proper senses, itittl compel her to sne for pawe, provided there is a government in the country sutlicianly stable for us to treat with, which I fear, will hardly be the case fur many years to come." ntes rued n 'ere w ho trt v s for ers but 1❑?. the 'tires dee tins, Vir he and e fur it, 4t) that r ii high ;Id a 1.. . , Snort after Gan.

C. from that state, at the instance of Mr. Botts, wrote to the chairman of the committee of thirty, M know the purport of tho conversation. The 1 chairman replied as follows : "In regard to the conversation had with Gen. Taylor, I have to!, say, we did not talk on the tariff—we did on the I war. Ho expressed himself IN FAVOR OF THE ' WAR HE SAID HE WAS DECIDEDLY, IN FA-' VOR OF PROSECUTING IT VIGOROUSLY. till they shOuld yield an honorable peace ; II E WAS FOR I NDEMN IT Y CERTAIN, AND THAT 'rE MUM RIM, I was not wedded to any line particularly, but though perhaps, as a kind of compromise with'the Wil mot prdviso men, we had bettor go up to'32 4eg,, making the Rio Graudo the western boundary up to that degree. and said THE SOUTH SHOULD NEVER AGREE TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE WILMOT PRO- VISO ; although he did not believe there ever would be ' slavery there, yet, if thn country was acquired, the citi zen should be left free on that subject. lIESAYS ALL MEXICO WILL EVENTUALLY cy_mE: INTO' OUR GOVERNMENT BY DEGREES; THAT IT CANNOT BE AVOIDED. On tho subject of politics, he said ho was no politician; had been three-fourths of his life in the army; devoted his time and mind to that ,service and paid but little attention to any thing else." So 'much for the General's territorial views in that di rection. But turning from "all of Mexico," let us see what are his notions in regard to tho annexation of Cu ha. On this point, if his friends do not belie him, he is an out-and-out "manifest destiny" extentionist, The New ;York Mirror, an original Taylor paper, makes Gen. Taylchspeak thus in regard to the annexation of Cuba: "llissaid that ho considered that any law passed, pro hibiting the annexation of any slave territory, was mak ing- difficulties for future years, of an almostinsurmoune able character, for said he, Providence, by the course of events! points opt, that at sonic future .time CUBA .

Certainly tho writings of a candidate whose political opinions are thus unknown, ought to be freely and- fully published, that the . people may know what measures they aro voting for when they support him. They know that, by a long life devoted to the service of his country and a constant adherence to Democratic measures—by cordial ly responding and approving of the resolutionS adopted, by the 13atintore Convention, Gen.
