There is, nothing new of importance to
countaOicate. ,The better classes at Pu-
Oda appear to be well enough disposed to
wards the Americans, although they per
haps do not altogether like the idea that a
Inre.e. a 2,000 mon should enter a City of
pearly 100,000 souls, lied without resis
tome; The lower classes—the &drone*
and leperos with which Puebla abounds—
are evidently but ill-disposed towards us. '
One of Gen. Worth's men has already
been assassinated, but fortunately the mur
derers were immediately arrested. On
the uleade's telling Gen. W. that, accord
ing to their laws, a year and a half would
elapse before the case of the assassins ,
could be settled in the courts of Puebla, he
was 'Wormed that an American tribunal
would render them full justice in a day and
a haft': The miscreants are now where
they never will commit another murder.
It is said that Supplies of all kinds can i
be readily obtained at Puebla. The wheat
crop has just ripened, and is most

Gen. Scott's last proclamation has been
generally circulated at Puebla, and it is
said with most excellent effect. No less
than three editions of it had been printed,
and still the inhabitants were calling for
more.more. The demand for it alone would

effects have been salutary.—
'rile numberless hords of military drones,
and all the employees and hungers-on of
the Government, are doubtless doing all
they can to put down the circulation and
deaden its influence upon the masses ; but
they cannot keep it out of the hands of the
middle and better class of citizens, the ,10-
boritnis and thinking artizans, nor prevent
them from perusing and pondering upon

FROM TUE ARMY OF GEN. TAYLOR.
From the Matamoros Flag of the 7th
inst., we learn that'Col. Doniphan, with a
portitut.of his command, passed down the
Rio Giande on the sth inst. The Flag
thus speaks of thetn:
"The unshorn beardsand goat and deer
skin clothes of many of them reminded us
of descriptions we have read of the -inhab
itants of some of the countries of the Rus
lien empire. Col. Doniphan is a stout,
rough-featured, good-natured-looking sort
of a man. He brought along with hint
Clark's battery, and ten pieces of cannon
captured at Sachtmento. The sick, &c.,
forty or fifty wagons, with several hund
red mules, were turned over to the quar-
termaster."
The volunteers are returning from Gen.
Taylor with great rapidity. Ere this he
is left without any , of the' volunteers who
fought under him at Buena Vista... The
letter we give beloar contains the latest in
formation as to the probable movement of
Gen. Taylor.
Brig. Gen. flopping has arrived in Ma
tamoros, and occupies Gen Cushing's for
mer quartets. ' •
SALTILLO ) Mx. Ma 21, 1847.
There le no . donbt that we shall march
upon San Luis at an early period—as soon
as a sufficient, number of troops arrive
from below—and from San Luis to the city
of MeXlco. A communication received
from Gen. Scott by Gen. Taylor, a few
days ago. giving a brief account of the bat
tle near Jalapa, directs Geti. T. to move
at Once, or as early as possible, from San
Luis (where he expected the letter would
reach him) to the city of Mexico. So
that Gen. Taylor will not probably remain
any time at flan Luis, unless he receives
orders there, but, leaving a garrison for the
place, will proceed with the residue of his
command to the city of Mexico. The
command will probably never retrace its
steps this way, as there will be no occa
sion for it. I have, therefore, a fair pros
pect.of "revelling iu ME halls of the Mon
tezuma" as well as some other people,
and if I live through the campaign and re
turn via Vera Cruz, I shall have seen quite
'as much of the country as 1 care about.
FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO
From ike 11. Oeitana Picayune of June the 14th.
We have received, by the way of Tam
pico, our files from the capital as late as
the 28th of May. This is a week later
than the papers received last week by the
Oregon.
Santa Anna's letter of resignation is
dublished in the papers of the 20th ultimo,
'but we know 'nothing of the action taken
by Congress on the subject.
In the city of Mexico every thing is man
ifestly in a state of confusion and almost
unlicensed anarchy. Gen. Bravo has re-.
signed not only his command of General
in -chief, hut also his commission of Gene
ral of Division. Gen. Rincon is said to
have done the same thing. More of the

arrest, though the causes of his imprison
inont am not avowed.
(ion. Ampudia has been directed to a•
wait further orders to Cuernavaca. What
suspicious thing he had done or contem
plated we are not informed.
Geu. Valencia and Urn. Saks were or
dered to leave the city of Mexico on the
24th ultimo for the city of San Luis Foto-
OA AO to take command of the army of the
North.

The populace was furious against their

years ago, Gen. Taylor visited the North
ern States, and matte, this. remark--in con
versation with a friend: ko
"In the Florida war I preserved my
health solely by temperance. Where the
water was very impure,- some of the offi
cers and men insisted on the absolute ne- ,
comity of using ardent spirits with it. But
I always oberved that they fared the worse
for it. As for myself, I would mix the
swamp water with coarse meal so as to
clear it from sediment, and content myself
with such a beverage."
INDIAN DINTuRBANcitti.—A gentleman
from the plains just arrived at St.; Louis
reports that last March a party of Namalias,
80 in number, were killed by the Sioux.—
Seve■ hundred lodges of Sioux were on
their way South, - to fight the Paivitees.—
At Elm Grove, 400 Delawares, Shawnees,
&c., were on their way against the Taut-.
nees. They expected to be joined by the
Caws, two or three hundred strong.
From general indications there will be a
severe contest against the Pawnees, who
number about 800 lodgeswhilst the Si
oux alone number 1800. The various
tribes collecting fur this expedition under
the lead of the Sioux, manifest bitter hos
tility against the Pawnees and threaten to
exterminate them.
The condition of affairs on the Plains
requires that the government should send a
strong force there, to prevent disturbances.
and that it should be commanded by a good
Indian fighter—some one who knows how
to trail and meet them successfUll

The steamer Cambria arrived at Boston
on Thursday last, bringing 15 days later
advises from Europe. The intelligence is
important in a mercantile point of view.
Cotton is rising; breadstuflis have fallen,
corn is declining all over Euttpv, and ihe
state of manufactures is improving. Polit
icalniatters remain without material change.

• 1 announceinent of the death of the
great Irish agitator,' Daniel O'Connell, at
G'enoa, whither he had gone to recruit his
his health, had produced considerable sen
sation; deep and universal sorrow was
manifested throughout Ireland. Dr. Duff,
an English physician, who attended him
at Genoa, thus describes his latettnotnents :
"On Monday, May 10111,1 saw Mr. o'.
Connel for the first time ; and he was then
suffering from profuse and involuntary di
arrhoea, with great pain of the abdennee4t
der pressute, strong, rapid pulse, Rushed
face; Ate. Mr. O'Connell had also chron
ic bronchitis of some years' standing. By
the remedies employed these symptoms
Were much ameliorated, and on the morrow
he seemeekeonvalescent. But, from Mr.
O'Cannell's great repugnance to swallow
even the most simple. medicine, this state
of improvement could not be followed up.
On the evening of Tuesday (11th) the new
symptom of congestion of the brain pm
seated itself. Active , measures were im
nualiately had recourse to, and front them
there was a decided improvement. Again
the'aid of internal remedies was denied,
Mr. O'Connell refusing to take any medi
cine. Toward the evening of Wednesday
(12th) the symptoms increased. Mr. O'-
Connell was restless; and sometimes slight
ly incoherent.
Our former measures were again employ
ed, hilt with slight success. During Thurs
day all the symptoms increased, with great
tendency to sleep ; from which, however,
be could be easily roused ; the tbreatblug
was much embarrassed; circulatinn be
came difficult, and in some degree indistinct;
and the mind wavered. Thursday night
was passed in a profound heavy sleep, with
increased difficulty of breMhing Land in Nil

the breathing very laborious, the voice

all the symptoms had increased. In this
state he lingered on till Saturday night
seemingly conscious of the presence of
theism about him, but neither attempting to
move or

Connell was always in conjueciion with Dr.
Beretta of this place, and a young French
physician who had accompanied him from
Lyons; and on the day preceding his de
mise we had the advantage of consulting
with Dr. Viviani, the, oldest practitioner of
Genoa, and of high repute. By hie advice
and as a last resource, a further application
of leeches to the temples was advised, but
all was in wain ; he expired last night at
half past nine . o'clock P. M., apparently
suffering little pain. During the whole
time of our - ittendante on Mr. O'Connell,
it was with the greatest difficulty he could
be induced to take medieine, or even neces
sary food, and he perseveringly abstained
front drink for full forty hours. Had this
been otherwise, the period of death might
have been promistinated, but his failing
health and spirits, with constant tendency
to cerebral congestion, rendeied certain his
death at no distant period.'.
His body was to be embalmed and con

UREADSTUFPB ,AND TUX SPECULATORS
Frain the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
We have peen a picture somewhere of
the operations of speculators in the article
of breadstuffs which deserves general no
toriety. When the Cambria went last to
England, letters were sent from namerouti
points setting forth that the drain upon
American resources had been such that a
scarcity would soon he felt here. This
intelligence gave a sudden rise to prices in
England. And the Hibernia, coming out
soon after, brought,..aa we all know, start
ling accounts of the extraordinary advance.
1 Those who have had occasion to pay ten
dollars a. barrel for flour are • aware what
the effect of this intelligence was upon
1 the American market. There is PWbably
as much speculation going on in England
!Its there is here ; and so we are between
the upper and nether mill -stone, and can
feel very sensibly what the process is of
transmigration from grain to flour. We
are all of us in the hopper.
We may expect, for several weeks to
come, to be regaled with occasional bulle
tins from the speculators,•who have a sort
l of intuitive knowldge of what is going on
with the various grain crops now in the
earth. They will present us with an ar
ray of all the maladies to which these
crops are. subject. There will undoubted-I

wet weather--too much heat and too much
cold: blight anti cheat will dance before

GEN. JAR. IRVIN AND THE PEOPLE
From all parts of the Commonwealth
we have the most cheering intelligence and
the best .evidence of the popularity of Gen.

which renders it certain to our mind, that
Gen.'lrvin will bo elected Governor.—
There is no boisterous demonstration of
popular feeling any whore, but a sound
conviction and firm determination of pur

CHANGE OF MEN AND MEASURES

those who have heretofore proved as true
to their party as the needle to the pole, will
vote for Gon. Irvin, knowing him to be
honest and capable, and unpolluted by any
politicaLstssoeiations believing too" that
he will adminsister the Government in a
manner that will redound to the honor
and prosperity of the State.
We know of many such, and we are in
formed from sources entitled to the fullest
credit, that such friends of Gen. Irvin, who
are not attached to him from party predi
lections, but from a dete.rmination to have
a CHANGE in the administraticm of af
fairs, are numerous in allparts of the State.
The effect of such disaffection in the ranks
of our opponents, itiequires no great pro.
pito to foretel. It presents a state of things
—an independence of action, that is cer
tain to prove fatal to the re-election of Gov.
Shunk and the hopes of his especial friends.
But the welfare of the country—a pant:

a sacrifice, and will ensure the result.—

of Gen. Irvin for the Gubernatorial Chair
and were. astonished to learn of the unan

Shenk at the last election have determined
•to cast their vomit for Gen. Irvin at the
next,- and have no heiitiney in declaring it.
They have been warm friends, however,
of Mr. Muhlenberg, and from the way the
frientis of that gentleman have been served .
by Mr. Shunk. they have good reason for
opposing his election, and they will do it.
That Gen. Irvin will he our next Governor
there is no doubt, notwithstanding he has
been published as a horse jockey, a man
that cheated his hands, an aristocrat, &c.,
by some of his opponents ; which will not
injure his election in the least. as he is too

WHAT ARS WE FIGHTING PDX
An officer of lots remarked to us, the
"Chime' day When epeakipeof a battle in
Mexico, "we fought, and foUght, motif with
desperation, but what were we fighting for,
none of us could tell. Inty we were
there, and what we were after, has: never
bectrimplained - to - mr, -- but Werruribettlitaiii
Musket and muzzle, and offered up lite
freely-for such was our country's order."
"There could not be a government long, or
a society," he added, "or a nation, if every
member of it sot up his own will and wig.
dorn, and eiteeially a soldier, against the
properly constituted authority." "But,"
ho continued, "can you tell me, What we
are fightinglizr-14
This very questitin we have so often put
to the Administration, and its organ, and
in vain, too, that we now . not only despair
tan 1111/IWitf, - but 'hut confess our own
inability to invent a reasonable ono.
Meanwhile, the country, and the .habits
of the country, we are grieved to see, and
to say, are becoming so accustomed to war,
that we fear it will be a lung time again be•
fore war and all the horrors of war will be
viewed with the disgust and pain that they
were viewed with, only one year ago,
when wo first heard of the battle of Palo

and the "glorious" records of it so daszte
us, that we hardly think now of the groans
of the wounded and the dying.

and fire the hitherto peaceful liabitations
of men, in the valley of the RiolGrande.
We curse the Britons, who invaded Now
York, and shed our blood at Coueord,
Lexington and Camden; but their *ere
-ed example; we - ourselves are milielitig of
Jalapa, Peroto, Sultillo, and Monterey.—
The unholy ambition of our Father land,
that cuts down natioue.siel-people from the
Rod Sea to the Chinese Sea, and that car
ries. sword in hand, the cross of St. George'
front the Ocean to the fliminalaya Moun
tains, shocks every Fourth of July orator,
that we have,—but there are our stars and
stripes waving in conquest from the Upper
Rio Grande to the Californias, front the
Gulf of Mexico, it may be now, to the city
of Montezuma. We, too, are cutting
down all who resist us, and we, too, sword
in hand, are struggeling to place our Ilag
over Mexico, upon the snowy sides of Po
pocatepetl and lztaccihuatl, thorough rude
- names-of which monarch mountains, we
trust, will recall our senses to the immense
distance that our countrymen have gone.
"The conquest of Mexico !" There is
an historical thrill in that phrase, which the
dispatches of Hernando Cortez, and the
eloquent pages of our own Prescott have
created,—but Cortez had as a plea for his
invasion, and his cruelties, a mission from
Catholic Christendom to break the idols of
the Caciques, and to unfurl the banner of
the cross. The secret of his success was
the religious chivalry
,that his mission in
spired, and no man can read his letters to
his "Invincible Emperor and .Sovereign
Lord" Charles the sth without a sympathy
for that enthu s iasm, however wrongftilly
directed. But what sympathy can Europe
feel fur us. or posterity hereafter, in the
causeless invasion we have on hand, the
invasion, be it remembered, of a sister Re
public, that copied our revolution, our his
tory, our constitution, our examples, until
fatal civil wars subverted all regular civil
government, and established only the
? Thus if Cortez and his Spaniards
did conquer Mexico, they conquered but
a nation of barbarians, of idolaters, of can
nibals almost, and in exchange for their
conquest, they gave them the Christian
religion, and the light of civilization, while
our conquest is over a kindred goveeemetti
and neighboring nation, from whom, if we
hail been injured, we wore yet bound to
suffer long, through sy nipathy for its mis
fortunes in having made an effort to be as
free as we had made ourselves, before,
however its people were properly educa
ted for freedom. Cortez was the servant
of an Emperor, and of a Pope, subduing a
nation of savages. We are Republicans
subduing a Republic, and a nation of Re
publicans.=and we have no excuse for
the subjugation we are attempting but our
unbridled ambition and wicked. .
To subdue Mexico, however, if this be
what some call our “roissien," is so palpa
bly to subvert our own Government, that
we are in hopes, even amid the intoxica
tion of successes, that the moral sense of
our country will be more and more awak
ened to its crime, and thus compel an end
to this iniquitous errand. Subjection in
volves incorporation with the U States,
as we cannot govern by satraps as the
Persians did, by Consuls and Proconsuls,
as the Romans, or by Vice-Roys, as the
Spaniards;—and such an incorporation of
Castilian, Mestizo, Mulatto, Indian and
Negro into our equal union, with the An
glo-Saxon race, is an impossibility. The
colored races there, we should have to re
enslave and the Indian to exterminate,
while of the pure European biped, there
would be but little left for an incorporation
with our race. Equal annexation, or in
corporation, therefore, 'caning be thought
of, and a pro-consulship, , or vice-royalty is
a species of Governmen utterly unknown.
to our kiwi, or institutions. What are we
fighting for, then I—the question recurs.
And, it fighing for nothing, is it not quite
time fur the - nation to rise, and to order. a
peace 1
Benjamin Franklin has remarked,"What
ever advantage one nation 'would obtain
from another, it would be cheaper to pur
chase such advantage With, ready money,
than to pay the expense of acquiring it by
war." The truth of thitetentimeni in our
vie*, is clear fretn the fact..that we could
have.:purchased the boundary line of the
Rip Grande and California,. all we. shall
probably, obtain by this war, for fifteen or
twenty millions, certainly, whereas now
we have already spent over. seventy seventy five
millions in trying to get thein by war.—
This expense is going on, Marjo likely to
be largely increased;—and under such cir
cumstances, we reiterate the declaration,
that it is quite time for the nation to rise,
through the ballot-box, and to order a
peace,—for. as Franklin said- oven of the
Treaty of the Revolution by which aye ac
quire our independence. "In my opinion
there never was a good war, nor -a bad
peace."
But the most painful of all our reflex
ions upon.this subject is, that a nation like
the United States, a pioneer nation in Re
publicanism, a model nation for all man
kind aspiring to self-government, should
be diverted, by ambitiotet men, from her
triumphal paths of peace into the worthless'
shOck of arms with a Republic, her neigh
bor, whose great error Was, that she 'mita
lea ye in a Revolution for liberty's sake,
before she was fit for liberty. VV hat had
we to' do with battles,—we, who have
the wilderness yet to clear, and a home to
make for the afflicted, and suffering emi
grants for Europe? Why are we in Vera
tali, Mips, oFPeroti, —we, whoaTiOuld
be with the axe or the pick-axe in Oregon
on the Columbia, or on the prairie of the
Missouri with the plough,•where only the
Pawnee now is I Why are we fighting,
shooting, and killing, when with the plough,
the church spire and the free school, our
example can conquer all mankind, and thus
astonish the Earth more thaii a hundred
thousand Mexicans slain, or a hundred
cities taken
Only onegreat moral lesson will be drawn
from clue war, that we can now forsce, and
that is, a lesson to politicians and civilians,
into whose hands mainly the destinies of
this country are to fall,—that from all the
wars they create to profit from, themselves,
the real honor, glory. - fame, and reward,
will conic to the soldiers who fought the
battles, and all the disgrace to the authors
of the war. If that lemma is enongh, for
impressed, it will, perhaps, pay the
cost of the war. - - - -

COOWTERFEIT BILLS.-A letter to the

On Saturday last simian, calling himself
John 'Jameson, Jr., was detected in passing
a counterfeit $lO bill, on the Harrisburg
Bank, nt the clothing store of Hummel &
Otter, 20 Market street. On being arrest
ed he strongly denied his guilt, and assert
ed that he had received the forged bills,
which were found in his pocketbook, in
exchange for others, oil his way from Pitts
burg to this place. On searching his bag
gage, a small tin box was found, which, on
being disiected. was found to contain $l,-
800 in amnterfeit bills, when he immedi
ately-eonftiosed his guilt. The scene that
followed was very affecting. Ile had with
hint a young wife, not eighteen years of
age. with an infant six month old. After
confessing his guilt he said. ..1 am a ruin

amiable wife and child."

may not be charged upon us for transferring a few
of these notices to our column., inasmuch as we

view, and are highly pleased that it has come in a
manner so unequivocal. If the Whigs of the Young

FROM VERA CRUZ.--The U. 8. Ship Mar
sachumettio arrived at New Orleans on the 15th
hut., Winging a few days later intelligence from
Vera Cruz.
The most important intelligence brought by this
arrival relates town attack, by the Mexican guer
illas, upon a large wagon train, having in charge
$22 . 5,000 in specie, which IdVeratiiii. aid die
morning of the sth inst. for Puebla, under com
mend of Col. M'lntosli. 125 wagons and 600
pack metes were in the train, escorted by FMO
troops. The place selected for the attack by the
Mexicans, is represented na a defile road, broad
enough for a single wagon only. Thi_attriek was
made upon each extremity of ilte train and upon
the centre at the same time, the principal point,
however, being the wagons which were supposed
to contain the specie.
Forty of our wagons were destroyed—though
not those containing the specie two hundred mules
loaded with subsistence were taken and thirt). of
our men killed. Our low is variously esti
mated at From four to twenty, but private accounts,
from responsible -retirees, give the lona, as we have
done, at thirty men.
The cheek was so severe that Col. Mlntosh de.
tennined not toluizanl an advance without rein
forcements, and, after entrenching his men behind
the wagons, a courier was despatched to Gen. Cad
wallader at Vera - Cruz, who immediately lett with
a, force of 500 men and 1 howitzers.
_ MEXICAN WHIGio.--Col.Gotttensi, wlio
so gallantly fought his way through Chihuahua,
and With but Eloo completely routed a Mexican
force of some 4,000 men, is spoken of as the Whig
candidate for Governor of Missouri. The intrepid
Canes sm., wlio so gallantly charged the Mexi
can lines at Ccrro Gordo, is urged as the Whig
candidate for the salvo olTioo in Tennessee. Col.

wounded at Monterey, will be run as Whig Can.

T will now notice the singular communication
from "Germs ny and Union." The author wants
to know what is meant by the "singular and almost
unintelligible communication "-(ass he styles it)
that appeared in the Sentinel and Star of last
week over the signature of "Huntington." It
strikes me that the author mud be exceedingly
dull of comprehension; if ho had shorn "Hunt
ington's" article to a , school-boy
. ten years of age,
multi have been explained. What then• was
in the article triadmlt of one moment's doubt as to
the meaning, or to justify the characterizing of it
as "singular," and "garbled," and "unintelligible,"
I confess myself entirely at a loss to discover.—
Let us look at it :
