MEXICAN •AFFAIRS—PROBABILITY OF
ANOTHER BATTLE.
The advance of our army to Puebla
takes us a little by surprise. From the
previous accounts we were led to think
that Oen. Scott had changed his designs
after the departure of the old volunteers,
and would remain in Jalapa, with his van
guard at Perote. But it appears our first
opinion, that he would push on without
waiting for reinforcements, is the most cor
rect. Gen. Worth has entered the large
town of Puebla, and received the eourte-I
tries of the church—the most potential au-
thorities in Mexico. Santa Anna, in the
meantime, abandoning his position at Ori
zaba, has pushed ahead of Worth with his
usual promptitude and rapidity, on the
road from Puebla to Mexico. We thought
that his object would be to harrass the rear
of Gen. Scott. to cut off his communica
tions, and capture his trains with guerilla
parties. But it is rumored, and the, tone
of the Mexican papers give color to the re
port, that his reputation and political in
duencetu the capital require looking after.
Besides, an election for the Presidency,
and the formation of a new administration.
are to take place, and Santa Anna has, no
doubt, some ambition tb take part m these
. important. Whirs. . .
It is said he has 10,000 men with him,
and will make another stand at a formida
ble point in the road—at Rio Frio.* This
is one of the most dangerous and difficult
passes which our army will have to make.
The road, for some distance beyond Pueb
_la, is excellent, but near Contrive it reach
es the mountains, and passes through deep
narrow defiles and over steep and rugged
heights. The country is wild look,
thinly wooded with oaks and pines, and
rendered very rough and uneven by rocks
of lava and porphyry. Near Tesmelucos,
a little village or hacienda, the road begins
to wind along the side of the mountain, in
many places being cut through solid rock.
Here the road is commanded by the heights
of Pectocatapeti, which, if occupied by a
atrong„benery, would render the passage
of an army over this steep, rugged and ex.
Mood ascent, a task of very great danger
and difficulty. But, even when the heights
are massed, the perils and obstacles of the
poeition are not entirely surmounted ; for
the road descends into a deep, narrow, dell,
where a . stead and brave force might ope
rate with mat effect upon a large army
accompanied by long trains and parks of
artillery.
This dell is traversed by the Rio Frio
(Cold River) where our brave soldiers may
assuage their thirst after the labors of this
diem& passage. The Rio Frio is the on
ly point On the road, between Puebla and
itilettieo, that is likely to give our army any
triatibilti. It is midway between the two

the commissioners appointed in Mexico,

selected the Rio Frio as the only available
point ofdefence against an army approach-;
ing the capital, and have probably removed
thither the cannon intended for the defence
of the city. The account of another battle,
therefore, may be expected in a few days.
Of the result we have no fears—our only

our army occupied, surprised it in the.time
of action, made a general attack on all parts
at once, and cut air t h e retreat of the in
fantry, the artillery, and even a part of the
cavalry. It is pretended that the general
ought to hare foreseen this risk ; but to
this argument sufficient replies may be
made
First—That notwithstanding the old o
pinion, confirmed by the experience of the
whole war from 1810 to 1821, that the
road by which the enemy flanked us was
impracticable, die General did not neglect
it, since he stationed, in order to cover it,
the greater part of his cavalry in the mouth
.of the gorge ; and if this force did not ful
fil the object of its mission, the fault should
not be imputed to the General-in-Chief.
We do -not intend here to examine and
qualify the conduct of the chief or chiefs of
the cavalry ; the fact is, that the point
which this force should - have guarded, was
- left uncovered, and that is more than suffi
cient to justify Gen. Santa Anna.
SZMndly—A recent historieal.fact may
serve for the second solution of the ques
tiini We refer to the
Bernard,
of Bona
parte over the great St. Bernard, executed
likewise at night, with such silence and
despatch, that the Austrian General,deceiv
ed by the dexterity of the operation, said,
-QC the following dey, before he-learned the
result, "that he answered with his life that
the Freueh artillery had not passed that
Way." And if this happened in Europe,
in iho midst of a war that had formed so
many expert commanders, it need not as
tonish us that like events transpire among
ourselves ! Men are not gods ! '

cursed war would end, that I and every
one hero might go to our homes."'
THE Hinton or Morransg.—Just one
yearago there marched through our streets
as noble and splendid a body of men as
ever went forth to do battle. They were
about nine hundred strong. The men
were in the vigor of youthful manhood,
and as in perfect 'Order and with military
precision they paraded through our city,
the admiration of our people broke forth
in loud applause of the gallant array. This
was the lirstTennessee regiment under the
heroic Col. Campbell. They left our city
fresh from their own happy homes in the
mountains and by the river-sides in health-
ful Tennessee, full of hope, ambition and
patriotism : they departed in cheerful spir
its and with impatient ardor for the scene
of war.
On Friday last the whole of this gallant
regiment, whose history we have thus
briefly sketched, arrived in our city, It
numbers just three hundred and fifty, about
one-third the force with which it left.—
And this loss it has sustained in a twelve
months' campaign. It has averaged a loss
of fifty men a enonth.—N. 0. Picayune.

They cannot be convinced of the contrary.
I am informed of this by an officer who is
among them on the Hie - Grande. The
people of this country will be astonished
and indignant when they know fully the
Manner in which the concern at Washing
ton has treated Gen. TAYLEIR. I know
from unquestionable authority that for five
month. not a single despatch of his has
been answered, (unless within the last few
weeks,) and nothing sent except an insult
ing letter, enclosing the letter written by
him to Gen. Genies, and, demanding to
know Whether he wrote it. lam glad to
suythat Gen. TAYLOR'S reply was in every
way worthy , the spirit of a high-toned free

that he did write it, and, as he did not in-
it for publication, he had not . beTore
examined it very carefully; but, now, on a
re-examination, he fcitind not a yord or an
expression he wished to alter. He asked
no favors; they might make the most of
' it. They took away all his regulars, save
a handful!, and left him none but raw vol
unteers. Had he retreated on Monterey,
as directed by_ the War Department, the
whole country, from Saltillo to Matamoros,
in the opinion of all military men there,
would have been lost. There is much
more yet to be told on this subject at :moth
et time."
WAR.—The celebrated Faustorr, in some re
marks on the subject of One of the greatest scourges
of the human race says
"If people had never seen war kindled
between neighboring nations, they could
hardly believe that men could arm them
selves against one another. They are
overwhelmed with their own miseries and
mortality, and yet industriously increase
the wounds of Nature, and invent new
ways of destroying each other. They
have but a few moments to live, and yet
cannot be contented to let those incise
cho/y moments slide away in peace.—
There lie before them vast
.countries with ,
out possessors, anti nevertheless they wor
ry one another for a nook of land. Nava-,
ging, spilling of blood, and destroying man
kind is called the art of great men, but
'wars, says St. Austin, 'are spectacles in
which the devil does cruelly sport with
mankind.'"
THE W/41. -If ever the people of this
country were sick and tired of a war, they
may be jnely said to be so of the present
war with Slixico—a war which must be
acknowledged to have been one most un
fortunate in its origin and its progress, from
its immense loss in life and ita vast cost in
money. Indeed, in looking back upon its
commencement, it is a matter of wonder
how the country could have ever become
involved in atieh a cotitcm with so little
reason for it.—Georgetown .9droente.
EMIGRATION TO TOR WM.—Some idea
of the immense timid of emigration to the
West may be formed from a statement in
the Chicago Advertiser of the 26th ultimo,
which is but one out of almost countless
numbers made in the Western Journals.—
The paper referredto says that the steam
er Sultana had arrivecat Chicago from
Buffalo with eighty cabin and 450 steerage
passengers, a very large quantity Amer
chandise, and over thirty tons of baggage

appearthe is said to indicate thrift, respec
tability, d intelligence. When the boat I
left Bul l o she had 225 cabin and 800
steerage assengers, the balance from the
arrivals at Chicago being loft along the
route.
"FEDEssusys."—Whenever the Loco
foco party are in a strait, and don't know
how to get out with whole bones, they
i
raise the cry of "Federalists" against their
opponents. So much is this their practice
that the iteration and re-iteration of this
taliennanic word by the press of that pow
er-worshipping party as surely indicates
foul weather to them as the fall of the ha
mmeter denotes it in the physical world.
The late Gov. Baaaous—who, in his
peculiar way, was the best anecdote . teller
' we ever knew—used to tell of a man, in
1 1845, who, having got "unco fou" at a
grog-shop, staggered to the vicinity of a
camp-meeting, where he laid himself down
on the grass and went to sleep. Having
partially slept off the fumes of the liquor,
he was aroused by the sound of loud
speaking, and in going in the direction of
the noise, he found himself in the presence
of a large audience, who, he thought, were
lillonink gi akttimp speech. 'The preach-
er—forauch he was—was in full swing,
and in loud and fearful tones proclaimed
the dreadful sentence, "Unless you repent
you shall die." To which the drunken
man replied, "that's a d—d lit heral lie."
POMONED Dv HumLoex.—On Sunday
last, while a party of friends were pasaiug
through a wood in Glenville,liEsirSche•_
nectady, a root, mistakes for .4spignot,"
was pulled up near a creek, and eaten,
which caused the death of a young lady
named Elizabeth A. Boyer. The action
was so sudden and violent as to produce
death before medical aid could be rocured.

identified as the propeity of Col. Hollings,.
worth and IMF. Kennedy, of Hagerstown;
Md. They were therefore remanded in, I
to the Custody of their owners.
During the hearing a large crowd of in
furiated negro men and women gathered
in and about the Court Hopse, who evi
-1 denced by their violent conduct a disposi
tion to rescue the fugitives by force. An
attempt was made first in the court room,
but quickly frustrated by the constables.
A second attempt was made as the
slaves were brought dovin from the court
room to the carriage, which resulted irr a
serious riot. The attack was commenc
ed at the door of the carriage, where, be-'
fore the slaves got into the vehicle, a gen
eral rush yes made on Ate. slave-owners
and constables by the negro men and wo
men, antl,a frightful melee ensued in the
street, in which for some minutes. paving
stones were hurled in showers, and clubs
and oanes were used with terrible energy.
The result was that the woman and girl es
caped, while the man was secured and ta
ken back to Maryland. We regret to say
that Mr. Kennedy, one of the owners, was
very severely hurt, having been felled to
the earth under a succession of blows from
stones end clubs which completely disa
bled him. A boy in (lie street by the name
of Black, we Ste informed, was so severe
ly wounded in the head by a stone that his
life is endangered. The remainder of the
party received no serious injury.
The rescue was a bold and vigorous at
tempt, and although there were numerous
indications of such a disposition we believe
it was nut seriously apprehended by either
the slave owners or our citizens. Much
excitement prevails in our "community in
relation to this unfintunate affair, and the
Sheriff and Constables have arrested a
score or more of negroes, who were iden
tified as leaders in the riot, who are now
confined in jail to await their trial. Our
citizens generally made no interference.—
The evidence that the slaves were fugitives '
was clear, and the mass of the citizens re-,
garded them as the rightful property of .
their owners.
We regret extremely that our boroug h
has been made die scene of so disgraceful
a riot, and especially that its consequences'
should have been so serious. Mr. Ken-
nedy is receiving every attention from our'
best physicians, but it is feared that his in
juries will not soon be recovered Irons, ill
though They do not endanger his life
The Philadelphia Times gives the following ad
ditional particulars of this digraceful riot:
"Immediately before the Judge had
made his decision, a warrant had been is
sued before a justice for the apprehension
of the slave-owners on the charge of bur
glariously eutering,and breaking into the
house, where the negroes leid been dis
covered. In consequence, when the
Judge's decision, was made, they were not
present in the room, being obliged to go
out in order to seek bail. The slaves
were therefore legally in the custody of no
one, and an attempt was made by the col
ored people to rescue-them. The consta
bles and officers of the court cleared the
court room, locked the doors, confining,
however, the negroes, and thus making a I
prison, for 'the time being of the court-I
house ; being another violation of the late j
law. The slave-holders returned to the
court-house with their carriage in order to
take the slaves.
"By this time the crowd of colored peo
ple, men, women, and children, amounted
to several hundreds, and it was confidently
exncted that there would be a disturbance
the — thoment the court doors were opened.
The owners, fearing nothing, had proceed
ed half way across the pavement, when a
rush was made. Paving stones, briik-bats,
missiles of all kinds, from the hands of wo
men as well as men, fell in a perfect show
er. 0110 of the slave-holders was serious
ly wounded on the back of the head, and
maimed for life by the shattering of the
knee-pan. It is said that the first blows
were administered upon the heads °femme
of the negro women in the crowd by a sort
of bludgeon in the hands of ono of the ne
gro owners. This exasperated the negroes
to the highest pitch—and many of them
suffered severely. The result was that the
woman and child were carried off by the
crowd, while the man was secured in the
custody of his master."

—that the faruu•is are laboring day and

One man, who umally plants five acres of
potatoes, has put in sixteen; another has
doubled his usual quantity of wheat, and a
third has improved four or five times the
usual quantify of corn ground. If the!
season should prove to be as favorable asj
it now promises, the crops of the present
year will far exceed those of the last.

The Gliarlestown (\'a.) Free Press states
that the upper counties of the valley, for
the last few weeks, have been pouring out
from their immense granaries, wheat, corn,
&c., that has been stowed away for years.
Thousands of wagons have visited Win

with the products of the soil. In the
course of a short ride above Wincliester; n a

of One - hundred wagons on the turnpike !

of 1740, the accused in case of the murder of a

of two while witnesses, and therefore they were
bound to acquit the present defisidant, inasmuch as
re murder had not been committed in thepresenee
of two such witnesses. A verdict of "not guilty"
was arronlingly rendered ! seems that all
that in necessary, in South Carolina, to render the
murder of a slave harmless to the master, is the
precaution to have the deed committed within the
observation of none but those whose darkened
