No newa had reached Vera Crux in relation
to Captain ttesancon'a company, which had left

ny full in with the train at the National Bridge,

i ihere thai the company has been cut ofl by the
Mexicana. ' ' '
It was rumored at Vera Crnz that Gen Scott
had met the enemy and repulsed them, after a
rharp engagement, with a Ions on our side of800,
the Mexicana lets unimportant. Thia the Mexi
fnr regarded aa a victory on their part, at their
Una was insignificant. Notwithstanding these
.Mails, our correspondent writes that there ia r.o
truth in them whatever. He also considers the
announcement of the Sun of - Anahnac that Gen.
Scott airived at : Ayotla on tha 11th as a atate
. ruent hatarded upon mere rumor. He baa con

Tha Sun of Anahiwe, of the 10th nit., gives ad

This train, roan its imallnesa and apparent
i 'fubarrassments, has been open to mora annoy

i me cause he did not await its arrival, but pas
' i the Eridge, leaving the enemy again to fall
i his rear and intercept tbe reinforcement.
The reinforcement commenced 'its fighting

vitb more or less skirtnitlnng every day.- At a

From Vera Crux wc learn that S. nor Atocha
met Gen. Paredea aa tho latter landed and re
cognized him. 1 redes in understood to have
signified to him by a sign to '-keep dark,'? and
the handsome Sunor did. ao for the apace of an
hour or more at all eventa vntjl the dirtinguj
ahed Mexican had panned out of the city'e gtea
We have aeen them facte written from Vera
Crux by a gentleman of aense and discretion.
From him we learn, t o, that , Seiner. Atocha
held, a aituation in tbe eg "torn s at Vera One
from which he haa been promptly dismissed for
conniving at the escape of Paredea, , Every day
ia further developing the fitness of Senor Atocha
to act aa emissary of our Government! .
. ( We learn, too, thai dpt. Clark, the port cap
tain at Vera Crux, has been dismissed from his
post for remiesnrea io thia affair of Paredea.
Wc mention thia and what we have said above
ot Atocha on tho authority of a private letter
from . Vera Crux fiom a gcntlenian who would
not mifli ad us and who should bo very well in

had a more direct agency in the business than
the facta yet devolved show. ,.,.;.
The correspondent of the La, 1 'atria gives
qiute a dramatic ceno botweeu (jcii, Paredea
and the Mexican who furnished him with the
necessary auppliea for hia expedition into the
interior. According to thie, the merchant had
been, the political opponent of Gen. Pareda in
dsysgone by, but waa touched by the appeal of
the latter to hia patriotism, the general, avow
ibg hia purpeae to be to throw biinelf into the
arms of hit countrymen and procure a position
in the army to assist in the salvation ol his coun
try. Whether the sketch bo fanciful or not,
we deem it tiie true key to the part which Pa
redea will enact. Tho same writer says thai a
mong the Mexicans of all parties the arrival of
Pa redes haa exc ited general 't n h uxiasm. :
They argue that Paredea will ho able lode-
rive from the clergy the resource e neceMi ry to
prolong the war for many years. It is conjec
tured, loo, that the eix Stales which have for
med the Coalition and declared then.aelvea up
pod to any peace, may call upon Paredea to
eatuiue Abe leadership, ( Viewed ill whatever
I igl.t you chooi-e, the return 6 Paredea regar

E7 Tut TicfctT The ' Democratic, county
convention of delegates met at the court bouse in
thia place, on Monday last, and put in nomina
tion George A.. Prick, Esq , of Northumberland,
for Assembly, Javob HorTa, pf. Upper Mulmnoy,
or Commissioner, Jesse M. Simpson, ,of Snnbu
ry, for Treasurer, and William Johnson, of'Rush,
for Auditor. There were a number of candi
dates for' the legislature, .and: it was difficult to
say, before the convention met, w ho waa likely
to succeed, Mr Frick, however, on the last bal
lot received a large vote, and will, no doubt, if
elected, make an active and industrious member
Mr. Hofla, the candidate for commissioner, i a
young man f good character and. atandtng, and
will, we are confident, anteavor to discharge tbe
duties of the office in a faithful. . manner. Ilia
competitors, Mr. Raker and Mr. Albert, are both
democrats of good stauding in tbe party, and th'ir
friends may properly say, if they did not meet
with success they at least deserved it. But as
all could not succeed, they will, of course, like
good democrats, submit until a more favorable
opportunity. Mr. Simpson, the candidate for
Treasurer, is again before tbe people, ilia friends
think his previous defeat, by a combination of
circiinisiances, gives nun annmoiiai claims on
the party, and that, if elected, he will faithfully
perform bis duties. Mr. Johnson, the candidate
for auditor, is said to be a good man,' and will, no
doubt, make a good officer.
Tbe campaign haa now fairly commenced in thia
county, and if tbe democrats act in concert and
union, as of old, the whole ticket will be elected
by a large majority. ' ' '

charge the duties of the office. Of bis election
there is, of course, no doubt.

OyMsxico Oen. Scott; by the last aeconnts,
was within SO miles of the city of Mexico, and we
presume by thia time be ia in possession of the
capital. We do not think that the Mexicans will
risk any more pitched battles. The guerrilla
welfare is best adapted to their habits and cha
racter, in which they can lay ir wai;,Hsassin-
i ate, plunder, .and then tun. When Mexico is
once in our possession, there may ba some pros
pects of a treaty of peace, but not before. .

seven hundred thousand yards. In 1817,' under
the new tariff, the imports of the sama kinds of
calicoes have ran op to forty-six millions four
hundred thousand yards. - Now, ao long .as we
could send fraie . to Fneland at good: prices, we
could stand these importations well enough ; but
the preat fall iu tbe price of our produce in the
