FROM TAMPICO.
[Correspondence of the North American.]
INTERESTING LiRTTER.
l'AmProo., Mexto, Feb. 13, 1847.
My Military duties have prevented my
writing you at nn earlier day. And I
have now but a few moments time to
devote to you, although I have much that
I desire to communicate.
You are doubtless aware, that General
Scott has abandoned all idea of an at
tack upon San Luis Potosi, and so far
changed the plan of operations as to
have determined to make an attack upon
Vera Cruz, and if successful in reducing
it, to penetrate Mexico that way, until
we reach the capital of their Republic.
Arrogant as it may appear in me, I ne
vertheless venture the opinion that the
change was a most unfortunate one for
us, so far as a speedy conquest of this
people is concerned, and an early termi
nation of hostilities between the two
nations. At San Luis Potosi, the main
body of the Mexican forces was congre
gated. In command of those forces were
the best and most skilful officers, Mex
ico could produce. There was amassed
all of their ammunition, and the most
of their ordnance that had not previous
ly fallen into our hands. If, therefore,
we had concentrated our strength and
marched directly to San Luis Potosi,
holding the Mexicans in check until we
were sufficiently reinforced to justify a
siege upon the city, we could, in my
humble opinion, have succeeded, and by
taking those who survived the battle
prisoners, have dealt so heavy a blow
upon the enemy that they would have
been glad to have made peace with the
United States upon any reasonable
terms. But a change in our plan of
operations is no sooner known to them
than equally as great a change is made
in theirs. Three weeks since Vera
Cruz could have been taken by five thou-'
sand men without striking scarcely a
blow. Its entire military strength was
fifteen hundred regulars, who were not
only disheartened, but almost famished
through the negligence of their govern
ment to furnish them the scanty subsis
tence of a soldier. Now, since Santa
Anna has ascertained that Vera Cruz,
and not San Luis Potosi is the entrance
we design making, to penetrate the heart
of their country, lie has reinforced Vera
Cruz with eleven thousand of his best
soldiers, furnished them art abutidtince
of subsistence, and placed at their head
a commander of unquestionable bravery,
great military skill, a sound judgment,
and one who enjoys not only the unlim
ited confidence of the soldiers, but of
his government. The result is, it will
require three times the strength by land
to attack the castle of St. Juan, that it
would, had our movements been prompt
and expeditious. And if a victory is
achieved by us, it will be at a sacrifice
of life far greater than it would have re
quired to have subdued San Luis Potosi,
defended as it was by upwards of thirty
thousand of the best troops Mexico Could
muster into her service. Another move
ment on the part of Santa Anna is, to
attack all our weak posts, especially
along the Rio Grande,to re-possess them
selves of Camargo, Reynosa, and Mat
amoras, and thus cut off all communica
tion between General Taylor who is in
command at Monterey, and our depots
of subsistence on the Gulf Coast, from
whence alone he is enabled to draw sup
plies for his men. To accomplish this
the movements of Santa Anna, unlike
those of our own, have been prompt and
judicious, and the first we learn from
him is, the accotnplishment of a part of
his designs. At Victoria, lately occu
pied by our troops, he has placed five
thousand men under the command of
Gen. Urea. Twelve thousand more at
the head of whom is himself, are march
ing to Saltillo and before this lime are
in possession of that place. With this
force he designs harrassing Gen. Taylor
and compelling him to keep within the
line of his fortification at Monterey,
while his column under Urea, shall
march from Victoria upon Catnargo,
Reynosa and Matamoras end dislodge
the inconsiderable and weak force we
have at each of those places. Gen. Scott
having withdrawn all the rest of our
forces in Mexico, and concentrated them
here and at the Island of Lobos, it will
be impossible for Gen. Taylor to procure
any assistance or reinforcements from
our army in Mexico. His strength all
told, including Gen. Wool's column who
is supposed to be now at Monterey, will
not exceed six thousand five hundred
men. And with a force of eleven thou
sand in front of him, and an additional
force of five thousand in his rear cutting
offall his communications through which
he obtains supplies, it will be a miricle
indeed if he is enabled to sustain hiin•
self. You may therefore look for exci
ting news from the seat of war within a
very short period.
As to our expedition against Vera
Cruz, I now regard it as a failure. Here
is the middle of February and General
Scott still remains at the Brazos. At the
mouth of the Rio Grande is General
Worth's division. upwards of three thou
sand strong, anu at this place we have
seven thousand men, all of whom from
both places are to be transported by sea
to Lobos, as well as all our cavalry, ord
nance, subsistence, &c. before we can
even begin to make preparations for a
movement against the castle of St. Juan.
The entire line of our operations from
this city to Vera Cruz is the seat of Vom•
ita and Yellow Fevei nine months in
the year. These diseases will commence
their periodical ravages by the 10th or
15th of March. Transportation has not
yet been furnished, nor is there any cer
tainty when it will be, Every day at
this season of the year in this climate
is worth the lives of fifty of otir men.—
And as you may well imagine, the strange
and unaccountable tardiness of the trieve
meets of our government in this exPe
dition, is creating distrust and alarm
among both officers and men. If we
cannot be forwarded so as to strike an
effective blow at Vera Cruz before the
10th of March, as I have remarked
above, the expedition will be a total fail
ure for this season at least, and thou
sands and thousands of our brave and
meritorious men will fall by a sterner
foe than the Mexicans—the malignant
diseases of this clime. lam not very
apt to forebode evil—but unless a change
—yes! a rapid and very great change
takes place in accelerating our move
ments, for the next six months you may
prepare yourself in the United States to
hear of the disasters of our arms in
Mexico instead of victories. Another
thing that will very much aid the Mexi
cans is, that in the months of Mity and
June next twenty of our regiments' time
expire, and they will have to be dischar
ged out here and make their way home
the best way they can. This will not
only take from our strength in the field
the best and greater part of the discip.
lined troops under both Generals Scott
and Taylor, but it will subject them on
their way home to constant attacks from
the enemy, many of which will doubtless
result most disastrously to our men.—
This the Mexicans not only understand,
but calculate upon, and talk about it,—
You can therefore see how inexcusable,
and I might add barbarous, it will be to
allow another sickly season to commence
without our having struck a decisive
blow at some formidable and important
point in possession of the enemy. The
great opportunity we have, however, al
lowed to escape. At San Luis Potosi
we had them together, and could have
kept them there. Now they have divi
ded their strength and are threatening
us with battle at a half dozen different
places, when before we could have fought
and conquered them in one great fight
at San Luis Potosi.
An express arrived here to-day from
Monterey bringing information that 70
men attached to Gen. Wool's column
had been cut off by a body of fifteen
hundred Mexicans, and every one of
them put to death. This is but the be
ginning of a savage species of warfare
that will be carried on against all weak
and powerless detachments of our men
that from any circumstance fall into the
hands of the enemy. What regiment
the men belonged to, we could not learn,
but it is either the Arkansas regiment
of Cavalry, or the Ist or 2d Regiment
of Illinois Volunteers.
General Patterson is still in command
of this place, hut is confined to his house
with a severe sprain in one of his feet.
He can only go from room to room upon
crutches. Your first regiment from your
State has arrived safely at the Island of
Lobos, and the other is on the way there.
The New York regiment is at anchor in
the Offing, and will leave for Lobos as
soon as the norther which had been pre
vailing for the last two days shall sub
side a little, so that the officers who are
on shore may get out to her.
The Whig Candidate for Governor.
The Philadelphia Chronicle, a neutral
paper, in the course of a handsome arti
cle in relation to James Irvin, says:
" This unassuming, but able man—
from the ranks of the people—practical
ly experienced in the great interests of
the State, and earnest to sustain them
—of excellent judgment, and practical
good sense, is now a candidate for the
Gubernatorial chair of Pennsylvania.—
Can it be doubted that the selection is a
wise one 1 We speak apart from party'
considerations. Who can better repre
sent and sustain the true interests of the
Commonwealth, than one who has been
so long identified with them, and always
their consistent and effective advocate.
\Ve are persuaded that the merits of Mr.
Ir• in will be appreciated by his fellow
citizens throughout the Commonwealth
—that his popularity will not be found
to be divided by any geographical line,
East of the mountains, and West of
them, wherever a hardy yeomanry, alive
to State honor and interest can be found,
there will Gen. I. find willing support
ers."
THE HOWITZER.—Many of our readers
hear the term "howitzer " used, with
out knowing what it means. We shall
attempt to define it. The howitzer is a
small, short field piece, constructed on
the principle of a mortar, but mounted
on a gun carriage. Like a mortar, it
has an interior chamber for the powder
charge. The bore is, then, larger, and
admits a small shell. To this shell is
attached canister shot. It is used and
fired in the fields like mounted cannon.
The shells are fired like cannon balls,
and when they explode they scatter the
grape shot in every direction. To be
used, then, on roads, or from hills, or in
defiles, against troops, they are a most
destructive weapon. This, the reader
perceives, is the use they are to be
put in Mexico.—Cincinnati Chron.

meets, will exhibit a representation from
thirty States.

Imminent Danger.
PITTSBURG, Mardi 16.
I3y river we have St. ' Louis papers
four days in advance of mail, with dates
from Santa Fe covering important hews.
There has been an extensive Mexican
Insurrection at Taos. All the Spaniards
who evinced any sympathy with the
American cause had been compelled to
escape.
GOY. BENT, STEPHEN LEE, Acting
Sheriff; Gen. ELLIOTT LEE i HENRY SEAL
and twenty Americans were killed and
their families despoiled. The Chief Al
cade was also killed. This all occurred
on the 17th January. The insurrection
had made formidable head and the disaf
fection was rapidly spreading. The in
surrectionists were sending expresses
out all over the country to raise assist
ance. The number engaged in the out
break at Taos was about 600: They
were using every argument to incite the
Indians to hostilities and were making
preparations to take possession of Santa
Fe.
The Americans at Santa Fe, had only
about 500 effective men there, the rest
were on the sick list or had left to join
Colonel Doniphan. Such being their
situation they cannot send succor out,
as they are hardly able to defend them
selves. It is thought Santa Fe must be
captured, as neither the Fort nor Block
Houses are completed,
It is announced as the intention of the
insurrectionists who eaptured Taos, to
take possession of the Government wa
gon trains, which are carrying forward
our supplies, and thus cut ofT all com
munication,
The representations made to Col. Don-
iphan, that Chihuahua would be an easy
conquest, were evidently intended as a
lure to entrap him, beget a spirit of se
curity, and lead him far off into the in
terior,
where he might be easily cut off.
It is the universal opinion in Santa Fe'
that if Gen. WOOL had gone direct to,
Chihuahua there would have been no,
trouble in New Mexico. Col: Doniphan
had possession of El Passo Del Norte
on the 28th December. Letters had
been received from the Governor of Chi
huahua, stating that Gen. Wool was
within three days march of the capitals
This, too, was doubtless another ruse to
lure CM: Doniphan on in confidence, and
cut him off from all chances of escape,
or of falling back upon Santa Fe, to re
lieve
it in its emergency.
The Mexicans are bold in their tone
and confident of capturing Col. Doniphan
and his command, which Consists of
about 600 men, 500 of them being his
own troops, the first regiment of moan.;
ted Missouri volunteers, and a detach ,
ment of 100 men from anta Fe, under
command of Lieut. Col. Mitchell, of the
2d reliment—consisting of 30 men from
Clark's battalion of light artillery, un
der command of Capt. Hudson and Lt.
Kribben, end 70 men from Col. Price's
regiment and Col. Willock's battalion.—
They then assert that they will massa
cre every American in New Mexico and
confiscate all their goods:
A letter from Lieut. Albert, U. S. To
pograpical Engineer, of later date, con
firms all the above intelligence. The
details of the battle of Bracito are also
confirmed. The massacre beyond doubt
has been a horrible one, of which we
have as yet heard but thei beginning;
and the Insurrection has been kept so
quiet until all was ready for the out
break, that our handful of troops there
must be demolished, before any effort
can be made to relieve them from the
most advanced of our Western military
posts.
n Lieut. Alberts' men suffered very se
verely coming to Missouri. The calls
upon government for prompt assistance
and large reinforcements are strenuous;
and the situation of our gallant men,
far away from succor, in the heart of an
enemy's country, shows the rashness
which has characterized the whole ad
vance into New Mexico.
Eight of the leading men engaged in
the conspiracy have arrived, (our des ,
patch does not say where) who have
made a full confession of the whole plot.
Letters received, also state that Col.
Cook and the Mormon battalion were
350 miles beyond Santa Fe. They were
generally in good health and progressing
slowly.
DESTITUTION IN THE MEXICAN ARMY—
POVERTY OF THE GOVERNMENT.—The Tam
pico Sentinel, of the 20th alt., publishes
a proclamation from Santa Anna to his
countrymen. The distress pervading
his army, which it paints, is really un
exampled in modern history, Since the
publication of that document, he has is
sued an address to the soldiers, in which
he reiterates the helplessness and desti
tution of those under him, and states his
determination of immediately proceed
ing forth in search of the enemy --advis
ing the soldiers, as they are deserted by
the Government, that they must endea
vor to " kill what they eat."

leans that a volunteer is not liable to ar

CHINA & QUEENSWARE HOUSE,
SHE subscribers, successors to S. TYN-
I DALE, would call the attention of the
Merchants and Residents of Huntingdon and aid
city, to their stock of
QUEENSWARE;
Which we have no hesitation in saying is the larg
est in the United States, and which, in the greater
part, Is made for, and imported by ourselves.
Any person having used Queeneware or China
for a number of year., will notice the general dete
rioration in the quality—this is owing to the great
ly reduted prices. In some of the manufactories,
where a good name has been established, and pride
taken in their character, no such inferiority is ob
served—from such houses have we constantly en
deavored to make our stock, and we are determined
to sell our wares as low as any quality, whether
equal or inferior, can he sold in the U. S.
There is a prejudice against Chesnut Street,
raised from a false notion of higher prices. Our
rents on this street are lower than on any other
business street, attd nothing else could possibly
make a difference. But WI ho use can succeed
here that does not keep the best qualities of goods,
and this does not suit all—hence the prejudice.
We have every kind of Ware, from common
Painted Teas, Edged Plates, Mocha, Granite,
Printed, Flout g Blue, &c. &c. to the finest China
and Close.
We are anxious to extend our business, and
take every proper weans of doing so—but not ma-
king personal application to strangers here, we
have ire other rneans of doing it, than by the aid of
our old friends, by advertising, and by the quality
and prices of our goods.
