We publish this week a full and late account of the operations at the seat of the expected war . We see no alteration in the position of the two commiestoward each other, dating the bat few weeks, notwithstanding the tu mors of war which have come to us, except orithe part of the United States the perfecting of those watiikeprepar ations which evince a determination, if war must 'Come, to prosecute it with energy and'aigor to a speedy ,termi nation. Mexico, with; characteristic weakness, is we. acelt el vering and v , - ling in her course ; th e cry of the ig norant populace "ng fur war, and the government, tho' it knows the f ly of such a course, knows also that its supremacy depends upon conciliating the will and paasions of the populace. They will, consequently, be obliged to declare war against the United States; but the declaration will' be . delayed as long as possible. This war, though it may harms, fur a time the United States, cannot be a pro. tricted one. Never was a nation in a worse situation to declare wer against a powerful government, than Mexieols at the present time. She is rent and disturb• ed by intestine troubles, shaking ber very foundation; in an inipoverished stale, with an empty treasury, with out troops and totally destitute of a navy ; in fact, in a condition which should lead them to seek peace rather than contention. There can be no misgivings u to the result of such a vv. We are at peace with all the world. Our means and credit are ample, our people animated with the same brave and patriotic spirit which animated the breasts of our Coro-fathers as they went forth to fight in defence of our country. Stout hearts, and strong inns have already been'amused by the clarion of war sounding its notes through out land, and their possessors have signified their determination and willingness to meet the enemy before be shall have stepped one foot on our soil. There are titles enough already shouldered, to sweep the forces of Mexico into destruction. • We dread the evils of war, the moral Sirocco it breathers upon , the face of any country, and the horrors it it inflicts.- But, in mercy let the war with Marko be a short one. We can gain nothing by it, while it may reach her a lesson that will be of profit. It will learn her the extent and value of her msourcesand her incapa eitity to cope with the spirit and power of this nation, and open the eyes ofher deluded, weak and boasting citizens; to their weakness. Tat AW;PRENT DISTCIIIIVCCIM—GOT. Wright, of New York, in. view of the gross violations of law in Delaware county, and the combinations which exist- to rosin and defy their execution; has issued e proclamation declaring , the county to be in a state of insurrection, and has despatched Adj. Gen. Farrington to the scene of the outrages, with full authority to see that the requirements of the laws are promptly enforced. The proclamation is plain but determined, and appeals with much force to the freeman of the state—to the tenants who disapprove of the disguised and armed force by which these viola tions of law have been perpetrated—to the proprietors or landlords of these leasehold estates—and finally to the disguised men themselves to assist in preventing anarchy end violence. Should peaceable efforts fail, other means more effective will be resorted to, to check these disor ders, for he is resolved to maintain peace and order and a full compliance with the laws of the commonwealth. A correspondent of the Albany Argus says, the prin cipal men of the Anti-rent Associations from the towns of Blenheim, Broome, Conesville, Jefferson and Summit in Schoharia, have offered terms of submission, which were accepted and the associations dissolved. After this arrangement, the prisoners were • set at liberty, and a general amnesty proclaimed. In Sullivan county also, Commodore Ridgely, (on the part of his heirs,) and nearly eighty of Ridgely tenants, some of them the most violent anti-renters of the town of Neversink, have entered into an arrangement, which is mutually satisfactory, and by which the tenants will be come bona fide owners of the soil ; tenants to pay back. rents; and the Commodore to sell the land and give deeds as won as a decree was from the Chancellor, euthori• zing the sale, the heiri being minors can ho obtained.

The convention was filled by the representatives of the Democracy of the respective townships chosen at their primary meetings, which we understand were fully attended. No objection was made in the convention to the admission of a single delegate, and without intending or wishing to Batter, we must say we have rarely seen more talent, candor, end fairness embodied in any similar meeting in our county. Their proceedings were characterized throughout with a mani fest determination to harmonize and conciliate conflict. ing interests, and bring about such a result ar would beat promote the interest of their common constituents. We again repeat that the ticket commends itself by ev ery consideration to the unitedsupport of the Democratic party. We have the numerical strength. We can elect our candidates—and we will do it.

NOILTU BRANCH CAILlat Cormany.--The Lucerne Democrat, Aug. 27, says: We learn from an authentic source that the Company, now being fully organized, will commence operations as soon as practicable Arrange manta are made for the payment of the 10 pa cent in stalment upon the capital stock, which will undoubtedly be promptly met by the stockholders. If them be any thing real or profitable in the erection of railroads or the construction of canals, certainly, a ten-fold advantage can be obtained by an investment upon this work. Two. thirds of the toil and expense has been already furnish ed at the heavy cost of millions of dollars, towards the completion of the North Branch Canal. This expendi ture not only becomes a mere gratuity to the company, but the canal when finished, must open a channel to the most valuable markets of thestate of New York or Penn sylvania. It is a worthy enterprise, and no obstaile can now prevent its accomplishment. 14.1111110 t, 21 31 25 Worn Nosturrrroas.—The Whig 'convention, on Wednesday evening, third inst., met 'nil placed in no mination the following candidates : Sheriff—W.

No doubt all will go. • 61 votes. 7 3 6 FLORIDA.—The first acts of the Legislature of the young State are likely to involve her in trouble, besides depriving all the girls of the privelige of getting married until the next ses sion of that body. The Legislature has elect ed itself for another term. The Constitution of Florida provided that on her admission into the Union, writs of election should be forth- with issued by the Governor for the choice of a Legislature, /Itc., and that the body should convene in a specified time. All this has been done in its order. But the Constitution gen provided that a general election for the Legis. lature, dtc., should be held in October of every year.. Now the Legislatdre recently elected, adjourned over to the time fixed for thn regu lar annual session. thus giving to themselves. by their own vote, the" chancier of a Legisla ture elected in October. The propriety of this is hotly called in question. and the peo ple are invited to elect a new Legislature next October, according to the fundamental law. If they d 6 so, there is litely to be two Legisla tures in session at'the same time. each claim inglo be proper State authorities. This looks squally.

A been received in town by her, from 'nide source in Matamoros, dated th slant, which throws some faint light movements in that quarter. The general in command at Matamoras re ceived intimation, through Senor Arrangoiz. of the intended movements of the troops of the United States upon the •• disputed territory." We do not know whether this general be the same Senor Garcia who some weeks since be ing ordered to build a fort to proteet the city, • selected a spot, where the digging was easy, and set his men to work." We presume \ it is the sante man, as we learn that every point on the Rio Grande assailable by our troops 11,s been, declared by him to be nearly,' if not per fectly, protected.- The information which we gave in this pa per of the•lst inst. is confirmed by this arrival. General Ansta, with his starving, unpaid. and deserting troops, amounting to about 3.000 men, whom we left at Monterey, was advanc ing east, and had reached on the 12th inst. within a dav's march of Matamoros.; General Paredes, whom we mentioned as being at San Luis Potosi, but abonktn march on' Monterey with four or five thousand men, hi now said to be actually on the move for the latter city, whence he will continue his route to Matamo ros, or Other points higher up on the river.— General Gaona, too, is on his way to the same 'frontier line, with 3,000 troops, as is reported. 'These three bodies compose the army of 10,000 men, we presume, of whose advance upon Gen.. Taylor so Many idle remora have been circulated. That they are not as yet quite prepared to measure arms with the Uni ted States troops, and do not intend' at present crossing the Rio Grande, we thing may he in ferred from the facts, that no general-in-chief has yet been named for the conduct l of a cam paign, nor have any contracts yetbeen entered into for provisions and other necessary sup plies for so large a force. Information has been received by the Au• gusa, that Gen.

We have gleaned some items from a lettor written by a resident of Matamoros to Captain Gillette, on the day he sailed. i -1 The letter, speaking of thei movement of troops in the vicinity of MatattiorOs, says it was known positively that all the potnts of the Rio Grande would soon be covered l that Gen. Arista had about 3,000 men within one day's march of Matamoros on the 12t5 ; that Gen. Paredes was on hid march to Monterey with 4,000 or 5,000 men ; that Go. Gonna was also on the march with 3.000 ; ant! that Gen. Bustarnente was going to New Mexico. The letter. then says : - Notwithsian mg these preparations, 1 believe that huslilit es are not so immediate as it might be Ilniuglit at first." It seems dm no general-in hi had yet been appointed, and, that there a(e n contracts for the necessary , stipples of t i ca poign, or for serious invasion of Texas. p , The le tter , states further , that t' th .Me x . ica n government says, to Congress that, In iis,onin ion, there is,no need of waiting ; for the delay stipulated in the treaty, .(between Mexico and this country) for a declaration of tsar.

Al though as yet but partially and imperfectly ex plored. the results already reported parallel the wildest revels of Arabian romarce. Until within the last two years. it- was but vaguely known that Copper existed ifear Lake Superi or, and a gigantic mass of pure Copper (since transported to Washington) was one of the wonders of the locality—the "elephant"' of that remote. rarely visited wilderness... Last year was the first of methodical mining opera noes. which have . thus far been principally cenfined to the immediate border of the Lake, but the veins and depo.its have been traced superficially - and fitfully - over the area above indicated. The -results have surpassed' the most sanguine expectations. Every variety of black and grey oxide of Copper, yielding from fifteen to eighty per cent. of the pure metal have been obtained, the veins having a nearly perpendicular inclination, and increas ing in richness and purity as they descend.— The mineral appears to have been forced up through fused rock by volcanic fires, and in some cases small portions of it have thus been made to assume a purely metallic form. Some of the black oxides contain eighty per cent. of metal, and are scarcely inferior in value to pig Copper, ton for ton, the oxide being the form required in the manufacture of vitrol. Many of the veins dip directly from the shore of the lake, and are traced from the surface from five to fifty feet above it; in one case, the ore is ' found imbedded in the rock of a cliff six hun 'dred feet above the lake level. A part of the ore is mingled with silver, amounting to five per cent. of the entire weight, worth sortie $309 to $4OO per ton. and we ore informed that Gold has also been discovered, though of this we have seen no specimens.

The Exeitement ut Lexington. At last accounts from Lexington, Ky.. much excitement still prevailed in relation to C. M. Clay, and the course pursued by his True American, au abolition paper.. It appears that the article w Welt gave offence, was published on the 12th. and contained the following among other passages— •• But remember. you who dwell in marble palaces—that there are strong arms and fiery hearts and iron pikes,in the streets, and panel of glass only between them and the silver plate on the hoard, and the smooth skinned woman mi the ottoman. When you have mocked at virtue, - denied the agency of God in the affairs of men, - and made rapine of your honied faith tremble ! for the day of retribution is at hand— and the masses will be avenged." Soon after a meeting was held at the Court House, and a committee was appointed to wait upon Mr. Clay, and ask him to diem. tinue his paper. .This Mr. Clay refused to do. The excitement increased, arid a 1112£8 meeting was called. This meeting was held and it was attended by some 2000 or 3000 persons. who seemed determined to demolish the press should it not - be removed. The last resolution is in these words— " That that press will stop—" peaceably acne can. or forcibly if we must.' " At this j uncture of affairs, Mr. Clay consented that the paper should be transferred to'Cincia nail, Ohio, to which the meeting agreed. Mr. Clay then immediately delived up the key of his office to a committee, and in a few hours his press and other printing materials were on heir way to Cincinnati, where he will resume its publication. The excited state of the pub lic mind was by this means allayed; and the shedding of blood probably averted. The movement in Lexington was that of the people. There was no party spirit about it. Indeed, both parties united in it. Of the corn mitte,e of sixty, forty-four were Whigs. Henity Clay was not present ; for he left Ash land on the 16th instant, on a visit-to the White Sulphur springs of Virginia.' But his son and partner, J. B. Clay. esq., was an ac tive member of the committee of sixty. who were appointed to see the'ress taken down and removed.
