PROM WASUINGTON.
Correspondence of the U. S. Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 6, P. M
By the Southern mail, we have New
Orleans papers of the 26th ult., which
contains the announcement of the arri
val of the brig Mary Jane, at that port
from Brazos Santiago, the Captain states
that the Steamer Neptune, left Brazos
for Tampico on the 21st, with several
companies of the 2d Regiment Artillery.
The steamer Sea, was taking in field bat
teries of the regiment consisting of
eighteen, sixteen, and six pounderr, with
other munitions of war.
A passenger in the brig, direct from
Camargo, states that there was no late
news from the army, when he left Ca
margo that was not already received and
published here. The schr Begin with
NN,,A irics
government stores from. leans,
bound to Matagorda, went in
Matagorda Bay on the a
tth i ~ id
proves a total loss. Crew saved. •
It is confidently stated that our report
of Commodore Stewart's having received
orders from Government to proceed to
the Gulf, is altogether inoosrect.
Levi D. Slamm, of New- York, has
been appointed purser in the U. S. Navy.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 1, 9 P. M,
The Western Mail this evening brings
later dates from Santa Fe. Great fears
were entertained that the stock of pro
visions would be altogether inadequate
to the necessary supply of the Army
during the winter.
The American soldiers were said to
,e in a state of insubordination, and daily
committing outrages on the Mexicans,
and as a consequence, assassinations
were quite frequent.
Movements of Santa Anna,
The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Commercial writes as follows :
" There is a rumor in the city to-day,
which, it is said, comes through the
Postmaster General, that Santa Anna
has withdrawn all his forces from San
Luis Potosi, and concentrated them upon
the city of Mexico, which he will strong
ly fortify.
It is also rumored that this movement
suspected by the Mexicans to be in
tended to secure to him the dictatorship,
notwithstanding all his disclaimers of
that intention. Several officers in com
mand• at San Luis had pronounced
against Santa Anna, and declared him
to be a worse enemy to Mexican liberty
• than the savage North Americans.
• , This news is " important if true."—
It would go to show that Santa Anna is
'so shaping things as to secure his own
' 3pter'ests, and then make peace with the
• United States—particularly if he can
'get Mr. Polk's two millions in addition
- to the two millions taken from British
subjects.
Some suppose that Mr. Buchanan has
been humbugged by the Mexican agent
with whom he has been in correspon
dence, and that the agent has no author
ity to speak as to the disposition of the
Mexican Government and the Mexican
Congress elect. But it is very possible
that it is some intrigue of Santa Anna's,
and may possibly be a precursor of
peace.
NEW WHEEL.
The U. S. Gazette of a late date,
says:
" We saw the model of a newly in-
vented wheel for carriages made entire
ly of iron, and so put together that the
danger from fracture of any of the parts
is guarded against. The hub was made
with an outer shell with holes drilled
through at the proper places for the
spokes. Each hole was countersunk on
the inner side and the spoke, having a
head like a screw, was pushed through
the hole and screwed into the tread or
tire of the wheel, no fellies being used.
•The spokes are screwed until the shell
of the hub is brought exactly to the
centre, the spokes straining equally from
it and upon the tire at all points. Inside
the shell of the hub, which is made con
cave, the real hub fits, and the axle be
ing inserted and the linch pin adjusted,
a cup screws over all, and holds the real
hub tight in its place in the shell.—
. .
Among - the merits of this invention are
that the upper spokes aid to sustain a
load, and that the wheels can be con
structed in this manner, 25 per cent.
cheaper, and lighter than the wood and
iron ones now in use.
The inventor is Mr. C. R. Connelly,
of New York.
COAL .STATISTICS.—The total amount
shipped from the various Coal regions
of Pennsylvania during the t present sea

the propriety of holding a State• Tariff
Convention at Harrisburg sometime du
ring January or February.
El- Hon. Mr. M'Duffie, U. S. Senator
from South Carolina, has resigned his

The Whige and the War.
The Locofocc; Press, says the North
American, strives to impress the world
with the belief that a considerable por
tion of the people of this country are
anxious to cripple the energies of the
Government in its present struggle with
Mexico. Their journals know the state
ment to be false—a calumny and almost
a treason, against the country ; yet for
the gratification of party spleen, or party
interests, they persist in it. That the
millions of the country do not approve
the policy of the Administration on the
Mexican question is. most true ; but it is
also true that the opposition have ten
dered men, money, all the resources and
aids which the country can furnish, to
prosecute the war with energy. The
Whigs have, from the first moment of
the war, complained of the inefficiency
of the military policy of the adminis
tration ; and condemned the tameness
and feebleness of spirit which protract
ed a struggle that, by a bolder and more
energetic course, would have been crush
ed and closed at once.
NEXT GOVERNOR.—The Clinton Coun
ty Whig says :
Friend KNABB,
of the Reading Jour
nal, inclines to the belief that the Whigs
of the Country differ from the Philadel
phia delegation with regard to the Gu
bernatorial nomination. We know to
the contrary, and our knowledge is ba
sed upon the actions and sentiments of
tho Whigs of the Country. Politicians
may prefer some other man, but the
PEOPLE are for Gen. IRVIN ; and we re
gard his nomination as a matter of cer
tainty.
1 [1:7 - The Cayuga Tocsin, a leading barn
burner organ, nominates Silas 11'right
unqualifiedly for next President, and
pretty strongly insinuates that he owes
his recent defeat to the benevolent inter
position of his dear friends in and about
the White House, Washington. The
Tocsm concludes :
"The name of Silas Wright will be a rallying
point for the Democracy of this Slate, and a rally
ing point also, for that portion of the Democracy
of the Union woo DESIRE co 'REDEEM THEIR Pan-
TT FROM COM BINATIONS AT Tim 801,111 FOR Pow
rat, AN D AT Tun NORTH son PLUNDER."
Spunky and blunt, any how.
A PROOF THAT A MAN CAN BE MS OWN
GRANDFATHER.—There was a widow and
her daughter in law, and a man and his
son. The widow married the son and
the daughter the old gentleman. The
widow was therefore mother to her own
husband. They had a son, to whom she
was great grandmother; now, as the
son of a great grandmother must be
either a grandfather or great uncle, this
boy was one or the other. He was his
own grandfather ! This was the case
with a boy at school at Norwich.

called for under the requisition from the
President.

IMPORTANT .031 MEXICO—ANOTHER REV.
myrrolv.—A telegraphic despatch to the N. York
Herald, dated Washington, Nov. 29, says—llearn
that impo, tent despatches have this day been re
ceived from our Fquadron in the Gulf of Mexico.
The Mexican Administration is dissolved, and Al
monte is going to England. Santa Anna haabeen
compelled to refund the two millions of dollars
which he recently stole from a conducta.

ANOTHER, STEAMBOAT DISASTER,
TWENTY OR THIRTY LIVES LOST,
TWENTY OR THIRTY SCALDED:
The New Orleans Picayune of the
22d inst. furnishes the following melan
choly particulars of a terrible steamboat
collision on the Mississippi:
The Sultan, Capt. Tufts, which arrived
this morning from Vicksburg, brings the
particulars of a terrible steamboat acci
dent which occurred on the 21st instant,
about seven miles below Natchez, in the
bend of the river, by which some twen
ty or thirty lives were lost and a great
number of persons were severely scalded.
The Sultan, bound down the river,
came in contact with the steamboat
Maria, Capt. T. W. Dunnica, bound up,
about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, striking
her just forward of the wheel-house, and
by the violence of the shock broke the
connection pipe of the Maria, by which
the chief clerk, the second engineer and
between twenty-five and thirty deck pas
sengers were scalded, many of them so
severely that there was no prospect of
their recovery. . . .
The Maria - sunk to within about two
feet of her cabin floor within five min
utes
after the collision,drowning between
twenty-five and thirty persons who were
on the lower deck. It is thought that
Capt. Dunnica was drowned, but it is
not certainly known. The cabin pas
sengers were all saved.
The steamboat Telma, Capt. Hite,
came down the river soon after the acci
dent, and took on board the wounded
and conveyed them back to Natchez to
be placed in the hospital. The Sultana
remained by the side of the wreck till
sunrise the next morning, rendering
every assistance in their power. We
are unable to furnish a list of the names
of killed and scalded. The Maria will
be a total loss, it is thought. The bows
of the S. were much injured.
The New Orleans papers, state that
the only persons known to be lost in the
upper cabin of the Maria was Mr. James
P. Durat, principal clerk of the boat :
and Mr. Samuel Heirn, third engineer.
No other names are mentioned.
A WINDFALL.—The Bridgeport, Con
necticut, Farmer says :
"T. Keaf, an Irishman. employed as
a laboring hand on our railroad, last
week received intelligence in authentic
shape, that he was the inheritor of an
estate in the Emerald Isle, to the amount
of £13,000, or $60,000. After reading
the letter, Thomas picked up his old
coat, it is said, and gave it a sling as
far as he could off the dock ; then call
ing his fellow countrymen, told them of
his good fortune, and " put them all
through," without stopping to count the
cost. He starts for Ireland, we learn
this week.
DANIEL WEBSTER AND EX-CHAN
CELLOR KENT.—An intimate friend
of the venerable Ex-Chancellor Kent,
states, that to Daniel Webster's fore
sight, judgment, and precaution, may be
attributed, the preservation of the great
jurist from a shocking death, as, but for
the urgent remonstrance of the Senator,
he would have taken passage in the At
lantic. "Do not trust that impeding
storm," said the far-seeing statesman ;
" there is appalling danger in its threat
ening aspect." "We may safety con
fide in a kind and over ruling Provi
dence," meekly replied the good old
man. "Help yourself first, and then
providence will also aid you," answered
the Eastern sage. His advice was
adopted ; both left the vessel for the rail
road train, and both were saved.
Scott and Stewart,
The Philadelphia Times, Locofoco,
says:
With Com. Stewart at the head of
our naval forces, and Gen. Scott in com
mand of the new land expedition against
Mexico, we fancy that something would
soon be done that would induce Santa
Anna to sue for peace without a much
longer contest."
[l:7- A clergyman in Virginia writes
to the Methodist Protestant thus :
" Yesterday at half-past 3 o'clock, I
preached the funeral sermon of a man,
and, to-day, at the same hour I married
his widow to another man—the former
husband has been dead four weeks."
THE CONSTITUTIOL-HOH John Quincy
Adams, in a recent letter speaks of the
retrocession of Alexandria to Virginia,
as unconstitutional and void. He adds:
" How the Supreme Court of the United
States would consider it, I cannot un
dertake to judge, nor how they could
carry it into execution should they de
termine the Act unconstitutional."
