LATER FROM FII I DIZAZOS
New destination of Gen Taylor's force—
%Advance on San Luis Potosi Counter-
By the arrival at
,New Orleans on the
tlth inst. of the steamship Telegraph, from
Ara,sos on the Ist inst., the Commercial
Times has received important news from
Oen. Taylor's headquarters, and several
Military posts on the line of the Rio Grande.
It appears that the plan of the campaign
has been cntiruly changed front What was
understood to be the arrangement here,
some weeks ago, viz : the simultaneous ad
itireree ut generals Scott and Taylor on the
cities of Mexico and San Luis respective.
ly. No advance is to be made by General
'Taylor, and' no greater force will ho kept
in the valleyof the Rio Grande, and thence
to Sultillo, than is necessary to keep open
the eotnmunication.
The • editor of the Matamoras Flag, of
which we have numbers to the 28111
speculates thus on the recent change of the
models operandi of our military plan:
"The grand base of all future operations,
•-is-intOndetl-to be established at the city of
Mexico, where Gen. Scott now is, with a
force sufficient to make a demonstration in
--nydirecti on iyiwhicht i !may ire necessary.
Scott at the capitAWith our
troops posted at Quaretaro, Guanajuato,
F.acatecas, and Guadalajara—this north
eastern border firmly in our possession—
New Mexico and California ours, and all
the parts of the country paying us tribute
—4lexieo will be as completely in our pos
session as it ever can be, unless it he an
nexed, and we may begin to speculate upon
the-results which are to follow, from the
occupation of the country by the Ameri
can arms."
The Commercial Times says :—How
far the recent intelligence from the capital,
when it arrives at Washington, may ope
rate on the cabinet towards a still further
• change,: may be -conjectured. We step
pse that the troops now embarking at the
Brazos for Vera Cruz, will he ordered to
-suspend their march instanter, to await
the issue of the negotiations which may
be now pending. • -
• --- \Nye take the following summary of mil
itzry news front the Flag of the 28th ult.,
Ott+ we. find to agree with an order of
Gen. TrylOr'a, dated camp near Motnerey,
Aug, 18.
—The Indiana regiment, Col. 'Gorman,
and the Ohio, Col. Breugh, under Brig.
Gen, Lane—the Massachusetts regiment
Col. 'Wright, and the 13th regular infantry;
Colonel Echols. together with Capt. Dens 's
- battery, under Brig. Gen. Cushing—will
proceed immediately to Vera Cruz.
Gol. Hays' rezas regiment is also or
dered to Vera Cruz. It has not yet made
its appearance on the Rio Grande. but it is
looked for daily, and will probably arrive
at the Brazos before the other troops have
embarked.
Gen. Wool's command, to remain ..at
Saltillo, will consist of the Virgin ia, North
Carolina, and 2d Mississippi regiments of
_Volunteers, and Major Chevallie's three
companies of Texas Rangers.
A correspondent of the N. 0. National,
writing from the Brazos, Aug. 29th, makes
the whole force now en that line 9.400.-
0I this force, it takes 5,568 fur garrisons,
escorts. &c., leaving but 3,832 to proceed
to Vera Cruz.
Some ten or a dozen eases of yellow fe
ver are reported at Brazos. and several per
sons have died. The fever originated of
board vessels from New Orleans.
Van. Taylor will probably leave Mon
terey on a visit to his family in Louisiana,
before the first of October next, unlass the
War Department should send despatehes
in - - the meantime, rendering it impossible
for him to absent himself from the army.
The rainy season has fairly set in, and
a plentiful shower drenches the earth every
day.
THE CONQUEST OF lillixteo.—The
Ed
itor of the Democrat, in avowing himself
in.favor of conquering and annexing all of
Mexico, has merely adopted what is now
understood to be the, object of this war
And the cherished purpose of the Admin
istration. k After protesting that the war
%fee not waged fur conquest, the editor of
the Government organ has at length grown
bolder than he formerly was, and declared
that if we do not subjugate and annex Mex
ico the war will prove an "utter failure,"
whin the victories we have gained will
only render us ridiculous in the opinion of
the world. Other locoliieo editors. like
our neighbor of the Deinderat, emboldened

SlitiNß'S PRINCIPLES
It has been often gliestioned whether
Gov. Skunk has any principles, so cau
tious is he in expressing any opinion upon
a mooted point that invokes the welfare
of the community. But if he is unwilling
to expose the views entertained by hint,
we have them shadowed forth by his sort
in-law, the Hon. Charles Brown, in his
speech et-the. Reading demonstration.—
The Journal says :
In the course of his remarks, Mr. Brown
took strong grounds against the charter of
any banks, no matter how imperatively de
manded by the wants of the business cool
monity. lie also expressed himself or-
POSED TO THE RENEW A or THE CHAR
TRES OF TIIN BANKS NOV IN ENIS-.
*FENCE. In relation to the Tariff, he
remarked that he was OPPOSED to the
act of 1842-1846, or ANY OTHER
TARlFF—thus taking decided FREE
TRADE GROUND. He was also op
posed to corporations for whatever pur
pose erected ! More agrarian doctrines
we have never heard propounded.
We presume that Mr. Drown, being so
nearly allied to the Executive, was out
expressly to shadow forth the views of
Gov. Shook ; and from any thing known
to the contrary, ho did it faithfully. The
people of Pennsylvania, therefore, who
are in favor of enconraging .mittnifacitUres
which afford a home market, and give em
ployment to the POOR OF ALL CLAS
SES, can see the views entertained by Gov.
Shook, and the policy that will govern his
administration in case of his re-election,
and "govern themselves accordingly."—

His patriotism is much more comprehen

whether he is in favor of slaying the eight
millions of people that inhabit that minim,
rv, or of eating them up, or of converting
them ' into Republicans anti exemplary
Christians. Like other rabid annexation
ists, he has not probably made up his mind
as to what should be done with the men
and women, the olive-colored beauties, the
murderous rancheros, the Indians, the
half-breeds, quarter-breeds, three-quarter
breeds, and the infinite variety of other
breeds that mark the form in that doomed
country. Some of the Locofocos are for
sweeping them from the earth with ruth
less and unsparing slaughter, while others,
far more merciful, are in favor of amalga
mation, absorptions, and modifications, the
effect of which will be greatly to puzzle
future genealogists, and to produce a mix
ture of blyod more perplexing than the
mixture of tongues at Babel.—Lonistille

THE ONE TERM PRINCIPLE.—This tru
ly "Democratic" doctrine is gaining friends
every day. A number of the leading
"Democrats" in the State hold to it, and so.
in fact do all but the office-holders, and
their teols and wire-workers. The attempt',
to break down the one term principle by
the re-election of Governor Shank, cannot
and ought not suceceed. Ile has already
been in °Mee more than TH I UT Y'
YEARS, and drawn from the treasury the
enormous sum of SE'I'ENTY THOU
SAND DOLLARS. This is "pap" c.
!tough in all conscience. So think the
Whigs and so think a very large portion
of "Democracy," and unless we are great
ly mistaken the nest election will prove
that so think an overwhelming majority of
the people of this Commonwealth.

Exercises of the, past week, with the growing
tared in our Literary :Institution, twidenced by
the presence. of.thelunusually-largeiCtiaientee that
have been in attendance throughout the exincimes,
cannot but be moat gratifying to the friends of
Education. Pohl" been-my privilege to-witness
the - poifermances connected with similar occasions
not only of this but othatinstitutions, and I Coal
entirely warranted in saying that I have attended
irew' at which the exercises, tut a whole, were char
'interlard by equal interest or more ability. It is
not my purpose to inflict upon your 'readers 'a
lengthy review of any one, much less of all the ex•
erases, to which it has been my pleasure to listen.
It has become so common, and so matter-o(-course
a thing, in such notices, to be all compliment to
the performer, that they axe with good reason pe
rused with distrust by the reader..or at least receiv
ed with a measurable degree of allowance.
Yet I may he excused in remarking the sincere
pleasure with which I listened to the chaste and beau
ful
production of the gentleman wno addressed the
Alumni of the College on Wednesday evening—a
pleasure in which I inn sure all who were present
must have participated. It has become so custom
ary on these occasions to servo up learned and. e
laborate dissertations, that the main object, or what
ought to constitute the main object, of these Alum
ni conimunings, is almost lost sight of, and the
Anniversary divested of its chief interest. To this I
style of periMmunce the Address of Mr. Srsv EN.
sob furnished a marked and most agreeable con
trast. The response to the important inquiry as
to “What are the duties and responsibilities of ed
ucated men t" could not well fail to be eminently',
practical, and suggestive of interesting and impor
taut propositions, And in discussing these, the
discriminating observation, sound judgement, and
conortvative sentiment, of the speaker were en
forced in a beauty and energy of style, that com
mended the Address . to the warm approbation of
the auditor. I must not omit a reference to the
Music with which the exercises of the evening were
accompanied—furnished, I believe, by the Haydn
Association, and the Gettys Lodge Brass Band.—
Of the music by the Haydn Association I need
scarcely speak. It has so frequently contributed to
the interest of these literary festivals, that it may be
sufficient to remark that in its performances on
this occasion public expectation was altogether
realized. The opening and closing !deco; by the
Gettys Lodge Brass Band were toast beautiful,
and performed with a skill which scents estrum-di
nary in view of the Cwt that the Band has been
in existence but little more than two months 7 --
With two Associations in our midst, capable 'of
furnishing music such as that of Wednesday night,
no wonder that there was some expression of sur
prise at. this folly, of sending abroad for. and int
potting that which could have been equally well
furnished at home, . KAPPA.

Armistice and Negotiations.
By the arrival . of the steamship Mary
Kingsland, at New Orleans, on the Bth in
stant, full details were 'received of two im
portant and decisive battles between the
Ameriran and Mexican arms, within a few
miles of the city of Mexico, Werondense
the annexed summary from the Picayune.
From a map and plan of the battle-fields
before us, we note that they are called the
battles of Contreras and,Churubusco—so
called front the field works of the enemy
of those names. The victories were deci
sive, but as far as we can judge from 4 has
ty perusal of a portion of our letters, the
proposition for an armistice was made by
Ceneral Scott—probably at the suggestion
of the British embassy. The report hith
erto given that the city of Mexico was at
our mercy, appears to have bean unfounded.
Should peace not follow from the nego.
tiations now pending, another battle must
ensue, the enemy having a force of from
fifteen to twenty thousand men yet left.—
But the road appears to be coin pletely open
to us, and the city is only two and a half
miles from our encampment.
Our victories have been purchased at a
vast Joss of valuable life. Our entire loss
in killed and wounded is short of eleven
himdred; that of the enemy is not well
known. Ilis loss in killed alone is believ.
ed to be fully equal to our entire loss, and
it is estimated that at least 3,000 prisoners
were taken. The number of wounded
was not ascertained, but is supposed to be
very large. General Scott himself receiv.
cod a wound in the leg he'loW the knee, but
from the manner in which Mr.• Kendall
speaks of it, we are left to hope the injury
is a slight one.

General Worth's division moved on the
afternoon of the 15111 in that direction:-1
General Pillow followed the next morning;
at the same hour General Quitman broke!

small hacienda between Vienta de Gordo

Twiggs was in motion from the latter
place. By this move a new line of oper
ations was taken up on the southern and
northwestern side of the city of Mexico,
and the strong works of the Pcnon and
Mexicalaingo, upon which Satita Anna had
bestowed such immense care end labor,
were completely timed. •
On the 10th of
,August, General Worth
marched as far as the hacienda of San

the enemy had cui up and ditched the mis

of the noted capital of Mexico could be
discerned in the distance. The obstructions
in the toad, of which I have spoken, were

that the enemy had but just gut wind of

These recennoisances were conlinn4
throughout the 18th, the reconnoitering
.parties occasionally becoming involved in
skirmishes with advanced parties of the en-,

except ascertaining, the practicability of
.turning the strong batteries at San Antonia,
by a road round it to San Angel. The
Mexicans were seed in great force at Con
treras, and at a council at night it was de
termined to- attack them on the following
day. . .
: Ware going further, it may be well to
state that the city - of ,Mexicolies about nine
miles nearly north of San Augustin.--
Sarr7Antonia is about three miles in the
same direction, while the point occupied
by Gen. Valencia, near Coutiers, (lir he
had command at at that place, is at least
three wiles in a straightline and in a direc
tion nearly. west.. It .was ten 'miles the
way many of our troops had to march, for
you cannot imagine a more rough, uneven

walls and tilling the rooms with fragments

also burst in the air over the building, and
the pieces dropped among the men station

that the troops were obliged to gain shelter
behind the building, but still (lid nut give,
up the position. About U o'clock the di
visions of Generals Pillow and 'l'wiggs
were ordered to advance in the direction of
Contreras, and by. I. in the afternoon were
in plain sight of the enemy's batteries and
within range of the heavier guns.
The Brigade cif•Gen. P. P. Smith teas
ordered to advance directly towards the
enemy's works, while that of Col. Riley
moved.towards a small village to the right,
with orders to gain the main wad, and
thus be enabled to cut off any .reinforce
'moms which might be sent to Valencia
from the city. An incessant tiring of can
non was opened upon the advance of Gen.
Smith, and'soon the rifles were engaged in
skirmishing with the pickets of the enemy
And driving ihent in.
The 12-pounder battery of Capt. Ma
gruder was pressed forward with all speed,

itzer battery, now commanded by Lieut..
Calender. .of the Ordnance Department.
Aa soon as they could gain a position they
opened upon the enemy, but were so much
exposed to a tiro from heavier guns that
they were soon silenced. Lt. Johnson, of
the Ist artillery, but attached to Magrtaler's
battpry, was mortally wounded, while Lt.
Callender was severely wonlided in both
legs.
At 3 o'cloel the brigade of Gen. Cad wal

way out from the city, while (=en. Pierce's

thought that the butterica would betaken at a dash,
and that the troops would be all comfortably quar

a lingo portion of them were compelled to bivouac
without blankets, in the midst of at pitiless rain, and
