T. 'HE MEXICAN WAR INTENTIONS OF THE PRESIDENT The 'Washington Union of Friday evening says Proxecution of the War.—CircurriStances have put it in our power, in the course ofthis day, to acer tain some interesting facts touching the state of the army, and the plans of the campaign. Without entering into details, we may state, in the general, our conscientious belief, that the executive is doing its duty—doing everything it can--doing it with every degree of energy by land and sea—in order to conduct the present campaign to its legitmate results, to bring the enemy to terms, and to con quer an honorable and permanent peace. Mexico is little aware, even now—even atter the tremen dous de:hats which sire has sustained at Palo Alto and at Itesaea do la Palms, of the great resources of our tree and enterprising republic, under the auspices of a firm, bold, and energetic administra tion. The Whig opposition, who are in the habit of reviling James K. Polk, and of ridiculing him fur I the alleged feebleness of his administration, are profoundly ignorant of his character. But we did not assume the pen in order to praise him. His enemies, who are not yet turned from their errors by the transactions of the last year, will be com pelled to appreciate his character, and to confess their injustice. All that we will say now is, that ! the war will be conducted with an energy, on'tbe part of the government which is worthy the enthu siasm of the iriop/e. Gen. Taylor had, according to the last accounts, about 8,000 troops under his eagles. Hundreds and thousands of volunteers %vete pouring into his camp.

[Correspondence if the Baltimore Sun.] WILMINGTON, DEL., June 5, 'S.W.? 8 "clock. P. M. j DESTRUCTIVE To lINA of the most des tructive tornadoes es er witnessed in this neighbor hood, passed over the city this afternoon about o cluck, by which a considerable amount of dam age has been sustained, ate] two or three pgrsons killed. Among other buildings destroyed was a large frame, elected a short time since user the ship yard of Messrs. Betts, Harland A: Hollings worth, on the Christiana, below the rail road wharf, which was completely demolished. The hands were engaged on an Iron Steamboat, and becoming alarmed, were just about leasing the building, but before they had time to escape, it came r down upon them with a theadlul crash. It is somewhat a stonishing that a number of lives were not lost, as there were, at the time, some forty or fifty persons under the coveria. Two only were killed, and one other very IMlOnjured and it is feared will not recover. Ths fivo that were killed had left the building, and %vete about ten feet from the door, and must have been struck by some of the flying fragments. The names of the persons killed were Benjamin Harding and Thomas McKay, both of whom have left wives and several children to mourn their loss; The person injured was named Niel Duffle. The brig John 31. Clayton, lying in the liana, a short distance above the bridge, was cap ! sized, all her masts and rigging carried away, and; it is said, one man had his leg broken. About one third of the roof of the Asbury Meth. odist Church, in Walnut street, near Third, was blown off; and carried across Third street, a dis tance of some sixty feet. The walls of several new buildings in the course of erection, were de molished, and a great number of trees blown down in different parts of the city. The storm came up so suddenly, that the store keepers in Market street had not time to take down their awnings, and con sequently most of them were torn into ribbons.— For about halt an hour, the rain poured down in torrents, and the flashes of lightning were awful. The atmosphere seemed to be filled with the else. tric fluid, but we have not yet learned that any damage was done by the lightning. The tornado appears to have been confined to quite a small space, not extending more than two or three miles. Passengers who came up in the cars at 7 o'clock, state that very little damage was observed beyond Newport, a distance of only three miles from this city. Hence, thereis grounds • to hope that as much injury - has not been sustained, I as might otherwise have been expected. Yoars,&c. I From the. NOO York Sun, June 5 IMPORTANT FROM YUCATAN. More annexation to the United States.—lndependence tettled.—New garernment chosen. By the brig Young GregorY i at Havana, six days from Sits!, we have received atlvices from Merida, the capitol of Yucatan, which read to the 10th ultimo. We translate as follows: The old legisla ture (assembly) has been dissolved, and a new and extraordinary congress was in session. It was opened with the greatest solemnity, by Migu el Barbachano, who was appointed governor inter im by the assembly, and has since been elected governor of Yucatan, by the Congress, The names of theother government officers are also given.-- -The first operation of the new, Congress was to settle the question of independence. This being done, they proceeded to the management and regu lation of all the other matters necessary to the es tablisnment of a new government. Three persons have been appointed on a secret foreign mission, via ate United Slates! Although the government did not openly declare that these officers were to visit Washington for the purpose of inquiring into the steps necessary to procure annexation, yet this was well known to be the object. This step has found great favor with the people, and although the mission was via the United States to some other country, yet it was well understood. PLEASANT SURPRISE A young man, of eighteen or twenty, a student in a University, took a walk one day with a roles sor, who was commonly called the student's friend, such was his kindness to young men whom it was his office to instruct, While they were walkink together, and the pro fessor was seeking, to lead the efinversation to grave subjects. they saw an old pair of shoes lying in their path which they supposod to belong to a poor old man who was hard at work in the field close by, and who had nearly finished his day's work. The young student turned to the pro:iissor. say ing, play the old man a trick; we will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those bushes and watch and see his perplexity «hen he cannot find them." "MY dear friend," answered the pro!'essor, "we must fie% tr. amuse ourselt es at the expense of the poor. But you arc rich, and you may give your iAdia much greater pleasure by means of this poor man. Put a dollar into each shoe; and then we will hide ourselve,." The student did so, and then placed himself with the professor behind the bushel close by, through o hich they could easily watch the laborer and see ohate%er wonder or joy he might express. The poor man soon finished his work; and came across the field to the path, where he had left his coat and shoes. While he put on the coat, he slipped one foot into one of the shoes ; but reeling something hard, he stooped down and found the Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his countenance ; he gazed upon the dollar, turned it round, looked again and again; then he looked around him on all sidfs . but could Fee no one.— Now be put the money in his pocket and proceed. Oil to put on the other shoe; liut how peat was his astonishment when he found iu the other a dollar! feeling.; overcame him; he fell upon hi , looked up to hea‘en and litteied a terse:it thatiksgix ing, in which he sponi;e of his wile, sick and helplt- , . and his children uithout bread, whom this tinuily bounty Guru sonie unknown !laid would sane Jinni periidliwz.
