THE LATEST FROM THE MEXICAN CON
oakas.--El Arco Iris, of November 3d,
has the Mowing;
"We r hare been informed that on the
10th ult., fifty-Gve members of the Con
gress were assembled at the city of Quere
taro, and that that they had already sever
al preparatory meetings. It is also report
ed that the President of the Republic has
• esilitd.4i Quaretaro all the Governors of
the different States, in order that they may
give him their frank opnions about the
war. Then if they be for it, undoubtedly
he •will request them to point out the
of pursuing it with vigor; and if
for: peace, to propose the basis upon which
a.treaty lazy be made."
Otmsitat.Scorr's MEXICAN SPY COMPA-
Xnr,s,—.yhe New Orleans Picayune, in al
ladknit° the Mexican Spy Companies re
cently employed by Gen. Scott for carry
ing his dispatches to Vera Crux, says :
-'"We have had some further conversa
tion with different gentlemen about Col.
Dnininguee spy company. Between 7
o'Clorck on the evening of the 17th ult. and
9 u'clock..the.next morning, this company
marched eleven Mexican leagues and back
again, fighting two engagements in the
totanWhile. They first encountered Col.
Yams in a hacienda. They totally dis-,
parsed the command of Vamos, after an ob
stinate defence,. and burned the hacienda.'
l'wo•leagues filmier on, sney came upon al
detachment three or four hundred strong of
Torrejon's command. The detachment
was surprised in a corral, used as a cattle
yard, with high walls. The Mexicans
*ere seized with a punir, but escape was
almost hopeless, the walls not being easily
sealed. • A great many were lanced. Al
ter this carnage was over, Cal. Domin
guez found that Torrejon's maid body was
but a mile or two off, and evidently station
ed to cut him off. He deemed it prudent
to return to• Puebla, where he arrived."
A letter from Vera Cruz to the New
Orleans Delta also makes the following al
kitriun to them :
~:“Ocie of the most stirring events of the

COL. WYNKOOP AND CAM% WALKER.-
A lefier from a member of the late Capt.
Walker's company, published lathe Amer-
inn. says :
"The body of Capt. Walker was con
stietl, after the fight, with military hon

Santa Anna, escorted by the Penn

Our. Wynkonp. This officer, who had

eetied, and exclaimed, ••I would have giv
en six years of my exiatenre if I could
have ipoken to Capt. Walker before he

The. New Orleans National, of the 12th
kat. says
-...*We had the pleasure this morning of
eitatreveing with Capt. Taylor, of the 3d
Artillery, who was in the battle of Human

ACCOVNT etIIRENT WITH MEXIcoo—II
seeing that our country ' , intends to tleal in
the true mereintile-spirit with Mexico, 'and
and to open ith hers regular account cur- i
rent, in which each battle which we gain
is charged against her. and she is to be
credited with every piece of territory which
we sieze. The charge up to the battle of
Monterey (inclusive) amounted to prn
cisely enough to,pay for Upper California.
Buena Vista added another slice Of land,
and Gen. Scott's battles before his arrival
at the city of Mexico swept nearly one
half of her whole territory, including fer
nier charges ; and his eappire of the city
has so swelled our account as to.demand
the whole of Mexico in liquidation.. flow ,
we are to be compensated should more bat
tles be fought we know, not, unless, indeed.
in accordance with the assertion of the
Washington correspondent of the Phila.:
delphia Ledger, we proceed to "annihilate
the inhabitants.
Lt thus 'reducing the war to a dollars
and cents business, we descend from the
elevated possition, first assumed, of combat
ing for justice and honor, and
! exhibit a
huckstering disposition disgraceful to a
powerful nation. If we use our pow

Iv the act by calling hen act of indemnity.
The conquest and annexation of Mexico,
whatever coloring we may attempt to give
to the act, will be considered by the civi
lized world as equal in atrocity to the
seizure and partition of Poland, and will
affix a stigma to our country which ages
will not be able to eiace.—Baltimore

GENERAL TAmoa.—The New York
Mirror states. on the authority of one of
Gen. Taylor's friends, that he will not, du
ring his six months' absence, visit Wash
ington, or attend any public meetings, nor
in any way seek notoriety, but will employ
himself exclusively in the management of
his private affairs, which have suffered
from long neglect.

J. Myers of the Masaarhusetta regiment,
has "annexed" himself to a beauti
ful senorita, near Monterey. The fair
Mexican brings her lord the cool aum.of
$BO,OOO. Lieut. Myers is a printer, and
is about establishing a newspaper at Mon
terey.
The editor of the Washington "Union"
says that "the Democrats are favor of
the diffusion of republican principles
throughout the world." We wonder if
they expect 10 diffuse republican principles
throughout the world by reducing to sub
jugation the only great republic beside our

AWFIIM STEAMBOAT ACCIDENTS.
Bursting of a Boiler—Collision of Iwo
bows—Forty Lives Loin.
The Louisville Courier, of Nov. 22,
states that the steamboat Carolinian, from
Pitisborg bound to Pearl River, burst her
boilers on Friday last when near• Shaw
neetown. Mr. Peacock, of Pittsburg, who
was a passenger on board, was instantly
killed, and four of the deck hands were
badly scalded, one of whom died subse
quently. The boilers are said to have
been defective.
It also falls to , our task to narrate a still
more dreadful accident than the above,--
Early on Thursday morning last, the
steamboat Tempest, bound down the river,
and the Talisman, from Cincinnati for St.
Louis, came in collision about ten miles
below Cape Giradeau, on the opper Mis
sissippi, by which the Talisman was so
much injured that she sank immediately
in deep water. The total number of pas
sengers that were carried down with the
sinking boat is estimated at forty, but some
the loss is still greater.
The ladies and other passengers rescued
lost every thing, escaping in their night
clothes, and in that condition were taken
to Cape Giradeau on board the Tempest.
Upurrr SIISPICION.-A lady in Bos
ton recovered twenty dollars damages
from a dry goods merchant, who, ha.
vingMissed a pair of gloves after she had
left his shop, followed her and placed his
hand upon her shoulder l telling her that
he had missed the gloves and requesting
her to return. 'Beftire she returned the
gloves were found. She sued him for an
assault.

MOUSE.-- : Our readers may
have noticed, with a good de al - of Incredulity, the
announcement of the existence, in Philadelphia,
of a moue capable of imitating the warbling of
the Canary; and other birds. The matter, it seems,
is not all a hoax. lathe last No. of the *Uneaten
Record & Journal," is on article on the subject
ham the pen of Jews K. To wrisucxn, Esq., of
Philadelphia, who, hearing of the singular capa
city Of the niouse,. obtained it from the lady in
whose possession it was, and subsequently exhibi
ted it at the Franklin Institute. Mr. T. remarks:
"This little animrl was in my posses.
sion more than two weeks. It generally
commenced singing about nine o'clock in
the evening. and: if not interrupted, con
tinued warbling (luring the greater part of
the night. Its song, (never very loud.)
was greatly varied : sometimes almost ex
actly resembling a Canary ; at utipir times
it approached very closely to lhe trilling
of the Wren, and several of the na-
live wood notes of the inimitable Mocking
bird were given with astonishing power
and clearness. Hundreds in this city saw
and heard it. I exhibited it at the Acade
my of Natural Sciences, at the Philosoph
ical Society, at the Franklin institute, &c.
Almost every one was skeptical in regard
to its reputed powers. but all became con
vinced on hearing it, and the sevens of Ihis
city a$ well its others who listened to its
performances, with one voice pronounced
itihe greatest-wonsivr of the. age. The
little animal enjoys perfect health. and
seems to thrive in confinement. It has
become exceedingly tame. and during the
two Weeks iu which I had possession of
it, became so familiar as evidently to court
my society, licking and nibbling at my fin
ger's when they were placed within the
bate of the_cage. Like others of its tribe,
its habits are nocturnal; sleepifig molt of
the time during the day, and becoming
wakeful, playful, and musical as evening
approaches. '
The last icomobeit of -the Jouirial of the Frank
lin Institute, lo reporting the proceedings at the
annual exhibition of the Imaitate, in Philadelphia,
thus alludes to this same memo ;
,
"A natural curiosity was next exhibited
whieh excited considerable interest. This
was a singing mouse, which, though de
clining on this, occasion to perform in Its'
best style, yet gave sufficient proof that its
musical powers are wonderful for an ani
mal oens kind: It is a common domestic
mouso il ifitts 'illuseuhrs,) and .tn appear
ers„ in, no remarkable ,Rarticular,
from:other indisiduals ofits species.
"It was the musical talent o f little
creature which led to itscapture. A lady,
who kept some
,reititY - birds in her room
through thpday, , but who was in die habit
Of having the cages removed to another
apartment for the night, happened to tieir,
after retiring, a musical chirping in the
room, apparently proceeding front under a
bureau. Supposing that one of her
birda had escaped from its cage and re
audited in the room, she attempted to dis
' lodge.it from its supposed concealment.—
N o .bird, however, made its appearance;
but a mouse was startled from beneath the
bureau, and ran to another part of the room,
where it recommenced its song. It was
caught and confined in a cage, which it has
now inhabited about six weeks, having be
come quite tame, and evidently recogiusing
individuals, by Showing more familiar re
gard for its keeper than for strangers. It
is seldom entirely silent, except weer
sleeping, almost constantly emitting a low
chirping series of notes, resembling some
what the twitter produced by a nest of
young birds.
As the evening advances its musical dis
position is more fully developed, until it
snally towards midnight, its tones increase
in power, compass, and variety ; it then,
frequently pours forth 'a gush of melody,
resembling the song of deanery bird ; but
Softer and less shrill than the Oates of the
feathered songsters."

FittILTII or THE is estimated
that from a to 7 millions of dollars' worth
of properiy, besides many lives, are lost
annually from impediments to commerce
which our government has the power to
remove. An immense amount is also paid
for insurance as consequence, which
is charged upon the. goods imported by
our - merchants: and `by them taxedmpon
the farmers and and other customers who
buy them. Thus a tax of millions is an
nually imposed on the country as the fruit's.
of the vetoes of -the River and Ilar,
'bor Bills, by which appropriations have
been made by Congress for removing those
impediments. Farmers think of this 'ex
tra tax upon your industry !—Chicago De
mocrat.
What cures our Government for money
and lives 1 The chief object which our
present Administration has in vie w.judg
ing from all appearances, is to spend mo
ney and sacrifice life. The destruction of
six or seven millions of dollars per annum
is but a small affair compared with the
gross amounts squandered in various ways,
which iire not - only acomparried with a
kiss of life, htit a sacrillee of right. Why,
all the lives annually lost on our inland
waters would not furnish material for-4
single guerilla slaughter, and this six nr
seven millions would not pay the expen
ses of a month's fighting with a foe which
many. call "Pour and igibecile." •
But our chief object now is to call the
attention ofour readers to the language of
a pernocratic purr, or rather a Domnera
lic_inetnlwr of Congress, and to ask our
farmers not only to think of the extra tax
pOndeffto, but also that one of More ex

the course of which he defined the Provi
so thus:--"What is the tProvisor What
is its effect and object? Although plain
in its language, and clear in its design,
this inquiry becomes necessary, from the
covert manlier in which it is constantly
assailed. The whole southern preis and
government organs of the north, represent
it as something that affects or interferes
with slavery in the states where slavery
exists. Even great men, wlisen writing, or
speaking on the subject, persist in talking
about the ABOLITION of slavery, and
tho rights of the states ; as if the Proviso
proposed the one, or in any respect, inter
fered with the other. It does not propose
either to abolish, restrict, or in any man
ner to interfere with slavery, in any of
the Stales of this Union. Its sole object
is, to secure from the unlawful aggres
sions of slavery that territory which is
now free."

BIBLE DESTITTITION IN VlRotxtc—The

sures in an address at Charlestown, Va..
of the Bible destitution, and gross moral
darkness reigning in certain parts of that
State, as the following paragraphs from
the Free Press will show:
Mr. P. stated that in Virginia alone,.
there were upwards of fifteen thousand
families without the Scriptures! and to
exhibit still further the gross moral dark
ness ot-the people in the western section
of our state, stated that two females were
called to testify in Court, on important
business ; on qutotiooing them, previous
to swearing them, it was ascertained, to ,
the astonishment of,both judge and jury.
that they had never either heard of the
Bible or of God!
As another evidence of the morel de
pravity of the people in, some quarter. of
our state, Bishop Johns' Mated at e. lair
meeting of the Virginia Bible flociely, that
on one-Occasion a miniater yes summoned
to attend the couch of a dying , milli, and
on examining him as to his religious faith
found that he had barer heard the- tome
