We have received, by our express, a
copy of the New Orleans Delta, of the

office of the Mobile Herald and Tribune.

18th instant, of the fine steautik•Fashion,
Captain Ivy. limy and a half days from
Vim Ontn.via Tampico, the Delta is in
receipt of late and interesting intelligence !
from ildrexico. -The accounts are from Ja
laps the ,11th inst.
The Fineltion brought over Gen. Patter
son, and several officers who were wound
ed at Cerro Cords. ; also, Captains Moore, ;
Pickens. Jones and Coleman, of the Ala
bama volunteers. She also brought over
malty of the trophies of Cerro Gordo and
Vera Cruz, such as cannon, stands of arms, •
standards,.&c.
Several regiments of volunteers whose
time of service had expired, were at Vera
Cimx on their way home.
We copy below from the Picayune:
'General Worth was expected to enter
Puebla on the 17th inst. No resistance
w•as anticipated at that place. There was
some expectation that the army would
march upon the capital, but with diminish
ed
9ombers. The losses sustained in the
army by the, return of volunteers, and the
necessary detachments to guard the cities
of Jalapa, Perme, and Puebla would leave
(;!ett. Scutt a force amounting to scarce six'
thousand to *donee upon the city of
Mexico.
Saw.a.Anna's whereabouts was yet veil

Mors, as is always the case, of the pur
poses of the Mexicans and the movements
uf.politicial and military parties.

Much trouble as was anticipated. They
are probably doing their office of robbery
and - massacre upon the Mexican them

A latter from Vera Cm. dated May Bth,
says; The largast train that has ever tra
versed the suit of Mexico leaves here this
morning. It will take with it specie for
two Paymasters—one of them, I learn,
has in charge *400,000; how much the
other has lam not aware. Santa Anna, I
learn, was seen at a place called Orizaba,
about 80 or 70 miles from here, five days
ago. Ile is apprized of the intended de
parture of the train, and has expressed his
intention to attack it somewhere on the
road with about 3000 troops ; and after he
capture* it, to make a descent upon this
place, with the intention of taking possm
aion of the city, destroying the public
stores, and thin leaving the Americans to
the mercy of the Mexican people. So
convinced are the military that some de
monstration will be made upon theotrain
that an escort of 1500 raen, supported by
an Artillery, will be sent in charge of it.

that =utmost the city of Mexico are daily
getting worse,tuid i worse—all is anarchy
and- eonfusioh. It cannot well be other
wise. Ctralidence is all gone, money is
all gone; hope has vanished, and in their
place poverty and despair reigns supreme.
The wily .chance left of opposing the
Americans is to raise a frenzy or enthusi-.
asm—call it which you will—similar to
that planted in the early revolutionists by
Hidalgo, and it is to be doubted-whether
there is even virtue enough left in ;he
country to bring about such a consuitunto
lion.
Gen: Worth will probably enter the,
rich and populous city of Puebla onTri
day tom, Uon. Quitman accompanying
him. No one .anticipates optiosition, hut
On the contrary it is said that the larger
and better portion of the inhabitants are
growing more and more anxious for die
o wartime of the Americans, for the protec
don they . will afford them against the
hordes of ladrones andleperos which have
always infested that city. We hear no
thing. of .the .guerillas of late—they are
probably confining themselves to rubbing
their own countrymen.
Gen. •18cott will probably leave, with
Gen. Twiggs, in the course of a few days,
for Puebla. His next movements will Cie
peed upon circumstances.
Gon. Quitman's appointment as major
general meets with the full approval of the
army. The wound of Gen. Shields, which
every one at first thought would prove mor
tal beyond doubt, continues to improve,
and the hopes of his recovery are stronger
than over.

HOW WE GOT INTO THE PRESENT
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald—decidedly friendly to
the Administration—gives, in the latest of
his letters, the following account of the
probable objects of the Administration in
bringing on this war with Mexico:
"In this view the war may be assumed
to have been commenced for the acquisi
tion o f California; and the march of Gen.
Taylor to the Bravo, ostensibly for the
protection of the frontier, may have looked
to rend!. far more comprehensive and
magnificent.
.:The fact is incontrovertible; at all e
vents, that the Administration from the
start calculated upon the re-annexation of
California. The march of General Tay
lor to the Rio Grande was designed to act
as a persuasive to., the reception of Mr.
Slidell. It was thes4ht his presence in
front of Matamoras might be an induce
iserie to the Mexicans to negociate, as the
only medium of escaping a positive war
with the United States, so powerful in all
the elements .of war. It was expected
that isultimo th us brought about, the
session of in quit-claim for in- '
demnities would be easily attainable. In
Do:ember, 1845, the Administration did
not dream of over-running Mexico; but it
washopeful of intimidating the Mexicans
into a treaty, and the acquisition of C'ah•
fornia, without war, and without manufac
turing Whig generals to perplex Father
Ritchie with regard to the succession."
IVe are not aware that tiny Whig press
has ever expressed quite as severe judg
mensas this upon the motives of the Ad
ministration for marching the army of the
United States into the territories of Mexi.
co. According to the exposition, -whet
the Administration really proposed to it•
self by that movement was to bully the
Government of Mexico into a cession of
California to the United States -
THE PROsPECTWOr PEACE
The Courier des Etta, Unix, - of New
York, a paper generally well informed by
, its correspondeuts, in relation. to Mexican
I affairs, treats vity_ tightly the
.idea that
Mexico 'will prosecute a gueillta Warm;
[ now thatahe has been so defeated in•regu
lar engagements. Onthe faith of a private
letter from Mexico, it makes some very
thuditlent /talcums,.
; The letter is dateil April 30, dt the wri
tbi sets out with . the averment that the de
fiat at Cerro Gordo has overwhelmed the
Partizans ofwer with stupefaction. They
have believed Santa Anna's confident as
sureties thst- his position at Cerro Gordo
could not be foieed,_and the practical proof
of his error wee astounding. Still - they
hoped that Gen. Scott would pause at Jal
apa, end give the wrecks of the Mexican
army tithe to re-organize t but soon they
learned that the Americans had advanced
beyond Perote, and they began to think of
fortifying the capital. Upon the sugges
tion, heivever, of the civic authorities, that
to fortify was useless,, when they bad no
means-of deform, the works were suspen
ded, and' the formation of guerillas were
next resolved-on, -
But the writer says an success has at
tended theproposals to this end of. Gener
al Salsa and of another partizan who had
undertaken-to raise .a band. Under the
banner of the first only ten men had enrol
led. themselves, and not one under that of
the second. This, be says, may be regard
ed as a test of public sentiment. The ef
forts to stimulate the Mekicans to hatred
and vengeance are counteracted by the
positive advantages attendant upon the
presents of the Arnericans---the influx and
circulation of money, the revival of trade,
The cley do not furnish money freely.
Cannon aro wanting, and attempts' to cast
some have been frustrated by want of
means to provide the necessary boring ap
paratus. An effort to bore by hand has
proved hopelessly unsuccessful. The '
writer "peaks of Santa Anna's endeavors
raise and equip a new army, but express
es his confidenektnat Gen. Scott will reach
the capital without.opposition.
The journals are furious against a Mr.
Drusina, who had cashed a draught of Gen.
Siott's upon his government for $200,000,
after refusing to accommodate Santa Anna
with $10.000.,
,_The
,The British offer of mediation was re
ferred,by the Government to the Congeess
and Congress sent it back to the Govern
ment—which the writer considers eguivo
lent to a rejection.
Some.of the paroled officers from Vera
'Cruz and Cerro . Gordo. were at the Capi,-
tsd, and the Government, it is said, threat
ened to cashier them because they would
Sot fight against the Americans. The
journalewere discussing the propriety of
their refusal.
The editor of the Courier des Etats U
nis arrives at the opinion, from the revela
tions of this letter, that the end of the war
is near at hand; that the Mexicans mutt
soon yield to the inevitable necessities of
their position.
COL. BENTON'S SPBSCH AT BT. LOUIS,
The court house at St. Louis, Mo., was
crowded to the utmost capacity on the e
vening of the 13th instant, by the thou
sands anxious to hear the promised speech
from Col. Benton. The Union of that

Col. Renton came forward amid , great
applause, and was listened to with intense
linterest for upwards of an hour. He set
out by referring to the' settlement of the

From San Jacinto it had been seen that

as force may exact.
lie would have accepted the Lieutenant
Generalcy, but to make arms subservient
to policy, and the rank would have outra
ged no propriety, for it would have remo

that if lie had taken the office, Taylor
would have had 20,000 men at Buena Vis
ta instead of 5,000, while Scott would
have found the road open to Mexico; nay,
both Generals would have been in a situa.
tion to have entered the city together, for
ministers of peace would have been aleng
to conciliate and settle matters. "These
things the public yet will see," remarked
the speaker, "nor will I or my friends
have cause to be ashamed." Col. B. now
touched upon the Calhoun resolutions
with regard to slavery.
Ile would defend slavery as it is, but
had no idea of being treated as a subverter
of the Union if ho refused tq extend slave
ry to Omen, against the wishes of its
inhabitants. Calhoun's resolutions make
those who will not go their whole length,
subvertera of the Union. It is equal to
northern abolitionism, with a reversed se
tion. Extremes of north and south run
to the same point of intolerance and defi
ance. (Col. B. did not Mention Calhoun
by name.) The speaker had taken his

Col. Benton, at times, spoke with great
fervor, and with that . impressiveness of
emphasis which is peculiar to him:
A PREDICTION Esau:rm.—The bold
prediction of General 'Greene, - When a

A Noma Act.—Col. Yell, of Arkansas,
and the President, were old friends. The
lest letter which the • brave soldier is sup
posed to have written was to CiA. Polk,
direiting the advance of Col. Yell's pay
to his family. He was poor, and his fam
ily-were dependent upon him. He had a
young lad at Georgetown College, and we
learn, so static a Washington letter in the
New York Herald, that the President has
adopted this boy, and will educate him and
mud him as his own son; and that he
will see to the comfort of his family.
gave Can at Pittsburg.—A suit of
rather ap unusual character, is now before
the U. S. Circuit Court at Pittsburg, Judge
Grier and Irwin on the bench. The suit
is brought by Van Meter, executor of the
estate of Inekeepe, of Virginia, against DM
Robert Mitchel, of Indiana, Pa., to recov
er in an action of debt, 1500—a penalty
under the act of Congress of 1793, for
harboring - and concealing a slave named
Jared, belonging to Inskeepe. The cir
cumstances occurred in the year 1845.
There is also pending in - the same court, a
suit brought under the same act of Assem
bly, by - Van Meter, in his own right against
James Simpson, of Indiana county, for
harboring and concealing two other slaves
belonging to Van Meter.
A Morn ER, at Greenupsburg, Kentuck

Rum and- war make demons of men.
Dialress.—There is a great deal of des
titution among the poorer classes of per
sons in Queen Ann's county, Maryland,
at ,the present time. The Centreville
Times says : "A number are said to be
suffering for the necessaries of life. Can
not public meetings be held to raise sub
scriptions and assist them—or will private
charity extend itself to the largest limits
of relief ?"

MORE YANKEE ENTsartlisne—Hardly

the "American Eagle" appeared there.—
In that paper a Yankee variety store offers
a most tempting assortment of goods to
the ladies of Vera Cruz. In it, also, is an
advertisement of a daguereotype establish
ment: the owner states that he is now
ready to take faithful likenesses of the gen
tlemen and ladies of Vera Cruz, and that,
by particular request, he is prepared to call
at private houses, to take portraits of the
dead and wounded! This is a very fair
of American enterprise.

Enlargement.
Cr" We have to-day the pleasure of presenting
"tine Star and Banner" to its...patrons in an en
larged and somewhat improved fonn. The change
has been lit contemplation for somr time, but pe
culiar circumstances have hitherto prevented our
wishes being carried into effect. At some expense
and trodble, we have succeeded in accomplishing
our purposes, and trust that our friends will re
cognize in the Unproved sheet which they receive
to-day a determination on our part to leave no
thing undone to merit their patronage and sup
port. The increasing advertising - patronage of
the past year had so limited the space usually al
lotted to news and miscellaneous matter, as neces
sarily very frequently to exclude from theNtionina
ofthe "Star . ' articles which would have been of in-
Yerest4o its readers, and which we felt it our duly
to furnish to them. This didiculty will hereafter
be in a great measure removed, so that in future
tnar patrons may anticipate a mom varied and, we
trust, a more interesting and valuable sheet.
While we an , under obligations to all our le
trons for the support extended no, those friends
NV li n have manifested ii more particular intorest in
behalf of our paper, *ill accept our especial ne
knowledgementa for their good will and efficient

tain the principles of the Whig party, believing
those principles to be in harmony with jhe genius
of our civil institutions, and essential to the devel.
opeincut of the greatness which of right should be
long to this country. But whileyrhig men and
Whig measures shall find us ever ready to enlist
in their support, nothing shall be permitted to en
ter our eoluntrue to detract in. any way from the
dignity and propriety which should characterize
every press, but which, unfortunately, are too fre

The enlargement of our paper has irawn more
heavily en our purse than we anticipated, and we
are compelled to call upon our patrons to relieve
us from the difficulty. There is a large amount
on our books due us for Job Work and Subscrip
tion, which it would give much pleasure to see
squared oft The amount against each subscriber
may seem trifling, and for that reason remain un
paid ; but it is of drops that the ocean is made, and
a few dollars from each of our subscribers will in
the aggregate i*oduca an amount of some impor
tance to us. Those of our patrons who have al
ready paid up, will accept our thaults, Ishille those

with about 6,000 men! The battle of Garro Gon.

shape of a guerilla warfare. Santa Anna was

much of it as remained•—and Weisbreathing wrath

Ithatheen ascertained that Majors Bor

comrades, are gin in captivity isr Mexico. It is
proposed to retaliate by placing Gen. La Vega
and the other officers taken at Cerro Gordo in
close confinement, until the American prisoners
are released.
17 The Washington Union denies that the
copy of the Pais of Manta Anna, which has ap
peared in the papers, is a toren copy ; but admits
that an order to let Santa Anna into Mexico was
issued by the Administration to the squadron in
the Gulf!
Backing Out.
The Washington Union, whale proposition to
sequester the property of the Mexican Church
and introduce Religious Freedom into that coun
try at the point of the baytmet, was noticed lest
week, has discovered that it " burnt its fingers"
in making the suggestion, amt in order to save its
mutes from the odium of sa,h a project, makes
the. following disclaimer in their behalf
" Not only did we write without consulting a
lly public authority, but we did not know, and dp
not know now, that either of the opinions there
I suggested has the least shadow of support from a
single member of the Goveninient."
That paper, then, thus explains its meaning as
to the Sequestration:—
We never intended that tie property of the
church should be turned into oar army chest, but
that it should be sequencers] from the Mexican
army. so as to cease to feed the tesources of their
war against our own country. In fact, it
tended merely ma a speculation In the prospects
and means of terminating the Mrxican war, and
of bringing even to the church iteeff the efits of
as speedy a peace as possible.'&
The disclosures unwittingly made by the
correspondent of the Philatlelebia ledger, touch
ing the intrigue between/President Polk and San
ta Anna, and the willingness of the former to
ace ow armies sacrificed that Santa Anna might
be restored to power, upon which wd commented
last week—has attracted very gcneiskgattention
from the pleas, and, we need searct state, an
equally general denunciation of the i mous pol
icy developed by the Ledger correspondent.

sands to encounter Gen. Scott, indicates a degree
of desperate resolution which will probably in
duce crenewal of the effort to stop the career of
our troops. There am still situations of vast
strength interposed between oar army 'and the
city of Mexico ; and if the Spanish • obstinacy
prompts a bold and desperate defence, thousands
of wives and mothers in both countries may have
occasion to mourn over the result. Gen. Scott
may be checked, he may be constrained to mark
his path with graves, and struggle at every step :
but it is our belief that he cannot be prevented•
from reaching Mexico. And what then I It has
always been doubted whether the capture of the
capital would secure submission. The latest ad
vices inform us of the probable intention of the
Mexicans to change their seat of government; it
is also proposed to abandon open resistance in the
field and adopt the guerrilla mode of warfare ; and
every report that reaches us speaks of implacable
hostility and unending resistance. If these state
ments he confirmed by future results, we are but
at the th" ° af-thu sanguinary was - We
Pave turned but the first bloody leaf of this vol ,
unto of horrors. Lives innumerable, American
and Mexican, are yet to answer for the insanity
of this Administration ; and we may look forward
GI a future crowded wtth sacrifices and afflictions.
Since this contest commenced there has been
evetything in it to excite and gratify the warlike
passions of our people. We have victories that
transcend the wonders of romance; and national
pride and national vanity are appealed to with an
eloquence which it requires an extraordinary self
control to resist. In time, and with the sacrifices
required, having made Mexico a wide sepulchre,
we- may conquer it. Although the effort be one
that must redden the path of our triumph with
the best blood of our country, we may effect it.
We may add a dozen States to our Union, and
crowd our Congress with members of every lan
guage, complexion and character. And, although
these barren, or ruinous triumphs he won at the
-price of bankruptcy or disunion, still we may, and
will exult, with an earnest joy over the victories
of our arms, fur they are the triumphs of our
brethren—the glories of our flag; and the pulse
leaps and the shout rises before we have time to
think at what price all this glory has been won.
Yet we are constrained, in the midst of these tri
umphal rejoicings, to renew, with a sadder empha
sis, the expression of our disapprobation of this
war.
Congress, however strong the majority in favor
of the Administration, would never have declared
this war. It was commenced by. the President's
usurpation of the war power. It was commenced,
whatever pretext was at first resorted to, for the
guilty purpose of conquest.—That object is now
avowed and gloried in by the Administration and
its friends. Such a war, with such an object, can
not be otherwise thifi guilty, whatever glory may
crown it, or than unfortunate whatever rapine it
may t_ v i i 2mplish. Its reacting curses must reach
and
h us in the consequences of a precedent
Of-traerassful mime, and in the wide-spread and
reckless demoralization of the people. Were there
no other worse evils in the train of this war, than
those induced by military demoralisation, and the
excitement of a natural love of conquest, the re
tribution of time would be found to avenge aufli
ciently the wrong we are committing. But there
are other and more immediate results which no
good man can contemplate without grief and hor
ror. The first fruits of those conquests are the
extension of slavery which the Administration
has determined to accomplish, and the people to
avert, at any hazard or any consequence. In
this struggle, our Union must encounter a peril
the moat deadly--a peril that may induce civil
discord, and may involve civil war.
To these coats of this unhappy contest, it iv un
necessary to add the painful sacrifice of human
life and the aggravation of human sulfuring, for
these are considerations which the fricod s c:of the
war seem to regaad as too trivial for notice. ' But
there is a consequence which the moat ferocious
and unfeeling may appreciate—the establishment
of a towering and perhaps an everlasting national
debt, and the imposition of domestic and direct
taxes by by the general Government. Against
this combination of evils immediate and inevita
ble, the war offers not a solitary advantage, unless
military glory be considered a substantive blessing.
It tutors us in the trade, and fevers us with the
thirst of blood; it starts us upon a career of guilty
wars of conquest; it endangers our liberties by
standing armies and strong governments; and'de
stroya our prosperity by its heavy and crushing
extortions, and its war against the peaceful inter
ests of industry: but it promises no good, and it
affects no justification. The considerate, the just,
and the patriotic of the land may well regard the
brightest glory over won by the slaughter of man
kind, as no sufficient recompense for such conse
quences, and unite in praying for the hour when
a change of councils will secure a change of poll

the Slave case—Headed at last.
Threats° of Isaac Brown, colored, alleged to be
a fugitive slave from the state of Maryland, has
at length been disposed of by an ingenious legal
quirk. It will be recollected that a warrant, based
upon a requisition from the Governor of Maryland,
was hinted some weeks since by Goy. Shunk for
Brown's arrest, which was subsequently revoked
on account of some deficiency in the Maryland
requisition. Pending these proceedings a regular
indictment against Brown for assault and battery
was found by a jury in Maryland, and a second
nquisitki Moped by the Governor of Maryland.
The claimants intended by the latter requisition,
to guard against exceptions. taken to the former.
As Brown was -to be heard ken Monday, Judge
Parsons did not deem* requisite to issue the new
warrant, aid dream was kit in prison under the
old one. The Mends of Brown ascertaining this,

or Last night's mails bring a inr days later
intelligence glom Oen. Scott's Army and the Ci
ty of Mexico. --Gem. /loath force had been re
duced to 6,000 mar in consequence of the leaving
of the twelve month' , volunteers, who were dis
charged by the commanding general a few weeks
before the expiation of their terms, that they
might pass Vera Cruz before the setting in of the
sickly season. The evicest, we regret, to'say,
tend much to dissipate the hopes of an early
peace to Which previous advice' bad given rise.—
Every thing gives indication of a wide-spread and
deeperated hostility by the Mexican race, embit
tered Larmeasuredly by the loss 'of the battle of
Cerro Gorda The Press of the city of Mexico
and the proclamations ofiublic functionaries con
tinued to breathe a spirit of determined and im
placable enmity. "War, and war only," "War
to the death," "Perish the Yankees," and similar
phrases alternate in almost every paripmph.—
Santa Anna was still at Oriuba, from which
place he had written to his advernment that lie
was collecting another army with which to meet
the invaders, and that ho is determined to hams
and destroy our army, or die in the attempt.
Gen. Scott's army will probably proceed as far
as Puebla—but not further until rainforord. All
the reports of deputations from the capital are
without foundation. No signs of pace--no signs
of surrender. A crisis is evidently approaching in
the progress of this war, to meet which the loftiest
statemanship of the land will have to be put in re
quisition. .
Mr. Trist, of the State Department, bad arrived
at Vera Crus with despatches from our Govern
ment, and after an interview with Coin. Perry,
pushed on to meet Gen. Scott.
On the sight of the 12th instant a party of elev
en dragoons, which had been stationed ate little
village by the name of Santa Fe, fourteen miles
from Vera Cruz. on the National Road, was IMIN
prised by a body of Mexicans, and seven killed
and three wounded. The other made, his tempo,
ind carried the news to Vera Cruz. Capt. Walk
er's company was immediately ordered out in
search of the murderers.

Dear Sir—About three ofreaks . ago my wife

deal and gave her great uileasineu ; she prepared
a great many articles which were recommended
to her by her friends, but without' receiving the
benefit frOm any of them ; her sough was getting
worse every day; her appetite was feet tailing.
and to sleep was impossible: the pa to in her
breast and side became so severe that that she
had to go to bed, and my friends advised me to
call in a Physician. 1 thought I would call in
the store where you were engaged and see if I
could not get something that would relieve her,
when you gave me a bottle of your Expectorant,
assuring me that it would cure her, site comlnen
cal taking it that night, not, however, without
great opposition, on the p.m of some of her
friends, who said it Was' only some "Quack
Medicine," and would do her more harm
than goad. But 1 determined to take your advice,

rould spit up with but little difficulty; the follow*
ing day she continued it according to the direc
tions, and that time, for the first time for nearly,
two weeks, she enjoyed a good night's rest and by
the time she had finished the first bottle, she was
entirely cured. Make what use of this you think
proper, for such an invaluable medicine should be
made known to the afflicted every where. With
best wishes for your success,
