No MORE TERRITORY.—The Richmond
Whig concludes an earnest article upon
the subject of the Wilmot Proviso, and
the danger it threatens to the stability
of the Union, with this admonition :
" It is for every lover of the Union—
for every friend of his country—for ev
ery true born American, to resist the
introduction of more territory into the
Union. Let him make up his mind to
stand by the Union, and to submit to
receive no gift which will bring its con
itinuance into danger. Like the trojan
horse, this fatal gift of Mexican territo
ry is fraught with danger and death like
the unweary Trojan's, let us not break
down the walls and admit it into the
citadel. Let us repel it, and those who
offer it to us. Then and then only can
be safe then and then only will we
have done our duty to the Union, to
ourselves and to mankind in general,
whose hopes are wrapped up in the suc
cess of our great experiment."
THE HORRORS OF WAR.—It would seem
that our men in Mexico are suffering
dreadfully from the effects of the cli
mate of that country. As an instance
of this, the Louisiana regiment, which
is stationed at Tampico, under the com
mand of Col. De Russey, left their homes
a few months ago one thousand strong;
and of this number not more than two
hundred appeared on parade on the 16th
of August. Hundreds have died, and
hundreds are now languishing in the
Hospitals. Our soldiers have more rea•
son to fear the climate of the country
than the steel or bullets of the enemy.
FROM YUCATAN.
The following letter gives some facts
-•that we have not before seen, though
news promptly reached here of the in
surrection in Yucatan.
[Correa; ondence of the Picayune.]
Viva Cruz, Aug. 27, 1847.
Gentlemen—On Sunday last the city
was startled with intelligence from Yu
catan that the whole Indian population
of that State had risen against the
whites, and in some districts massacred
entirely the white population, with the
exception of the women, whom they
only spared for a fate still worse than
death.
..........
The news was received here by the
French consul in a communication from
the French Consul at Campeachy, and
the massacre he says was universal, no
distinction being made except between
Indians and whites. In some of the
districts the whites have succeeded in
reaching the cities and were there wait
ing succor. There is good reason to
hope these will be able to defend them
selves until they are reinforced. At
Campeachy they were in expectation of
an immediate attack. The French brigs
of war La Perouse and La Pilate have,
it is understood, both been ordered to
Campeachy, and there is a report that
Com. Perry is about ordering down one
of the vessels of our sqadron.
There is, perhaps, some exaggeration
in the accounts of the extent of the
massacre, but of the main facts there is
not a doubt. The Indians in Yucatan
have been more oppressed than in any
other part of Mexico, because the land
holders arc generally absentees residing
in Spain, and trust the management of
their estates to stewards, who, to sub
\ serve their own interests, grind the un
fortunate Peon to the dust.
An express arrived here on Tuesday
from Alvarado to Corn. Perry, with in
formation that the Guerillas had attack
ed that place the night before, and kill
ed a surgeon and two marines in that
town. The steamers Petrita and Scor
pion were immediately despatched to
reinforce those in possession of the place.
I refer you to the paper for the local
news. D. S.
VICTORY! VICTORY !
GLORIOUS NEWS FROM MEXICO!
MEXICAN OVERTURES FOR PEACE!
Americans Surrounding the City!
By special express from New Orleans
the Philadelphia papers have received
the N. 0. papers of the 3d inst. contain
ing the following highly important news
from Gen. Scott's army, brought by the
steamship Fashion, which left Vera
Crux on the 27th ultimo.
[From the N. 0. Times.]
THE CITY OF MEXICO IN OUR POWER—
BATTLE OF SAN ANGEL.—The sum of the
intelligence brought by the Fashion, is
of the most pleasing, as it is of the most
important nature, since it announces an
other victory that has crowned the
American arms—a victory that will, in
all probability, be most blessed in its re
sults, bringing about a peace between
the two hostile republics. It appears
that the march of our army under Gen.
Scott from Puebla, to within eight or
nine miles of the capital, was uninter
rupted by any resistance on the part of
the enemy. At El Penon—a position
fortified by Santa Anna—the two hostile
forces first came into collision, where,
according to El Sol de .dnahuac, a di
vision of the American Army made an
onset on the enemy, the main body pas
sing through Guadeloupe, and, to the
surprise of the Mexicans, appearing
suddenly in their rear.
A regular fight then ensued at a place
called San Aneel, situated at about six
or eight miles * Southwest of the capital ;
the result of which was that Gen. Valen
cia's division of the Mexican army was
totally routed, when Santa Anna fell
back with the remainder of his troops
on the city. Here the greatest conster
nation prevailed, and, as the only means
to stop the victorious career of the
American arms, it was decided to solicit
from Gen. Scott a suspension of arms.
A flag of truce was dispatched to the
American head quarters, for this pur
pose, with the view of giving time for
the opening of negotiations for the re
newal of pacific relations. The Mexican
Government intimated to Gen. Scott
that it was ready to treat for pence on
the propositions brought by Mr. Trist.
Thus, at the eleventh hour, has the stub
bornness of our hitherto intractable
neighbor given way, and the best hopes
may be entertained that we are on the
eve of sheathing the sword, a consum
'nation heartily to be desired by every
friend of humanity.
. _
The American' Commander-in-Chief
at once acceded to the request of the
Mexican Government, and a truce was
declared. The city of Mexico, we learn,
is absolutely at our mercy, being sur
rounded by our army. (en. Worth, at
the head of his division, is in the rear
of the capital, having it in his power to
cut off all the supplies from that quar
ter. The decisive action at San Angel,
where Valencia's troops were put to
flight, took place on the 20th ult. 01
course, we know nothing of the details,
nor of the loss sustained in the two con
flicts by the armies. The express which
brought the intelligence to Vera Cruz,
came by the way of Orizaba ; the dis
patch concludes with these remarkable
words : "Peace will positively be the re
sult."
In regard to the train under Maj. Lally,
the intelligence is favorable. We are
informed, from a very responsible
source, that he is known to have passed
Perote and been on his way in safety to
Puebla.
Harmonious Democracy
The one term wing of the Locofoco
party of Perry county, held a Taylor
meeting in Bloomfield, on the 9th inst.,
and nominated a second Locofoco ticket.
This movement has produced great con
fusion among the regular Locos, who
cling to the wailing fortunes of Polk,
Shunk and Jesse Miller.
A LESSON FOR THE WHIGS.—The whip
of Rhode Island have permitted the Lo
cofocos to elect a member of Congress !
Had they stuck to their ticket, and
avoided quarreling among themselves,
this misfortune would have been preven
ted. After a ticket is settled, it is the
duty of all who profess to be governed
by principle to support and vote it. We
hope the Whigs in other parts of the
Union will profit by this Rhode Island
misfortune.
A FAILURE.—The Reading Journal
says there were just 322 men, all told,
at the recent Locofoco Harvest Home in
Berks county, most of whom were office
holders, including the Governor and
Heads of Department. The balance
were office seekers !
MR. BUCHANAN.—In a recent letter to
a democratic committee, this gentleman
takes ground against the Wilmot pro
viso. The Missouri Compromise, which
permits slavery in all territory acquired
by the United States south of 36 30,
meets with his favor. It is his opinion
that a large portion of the territory
which will probably be acquired south
of that line, will not admit of the exis
tence of slavery, owing to its climate,
productions, and the character of its in
habitants,
The Harmonious Democracy.
4 War to the Knife' between the §hunkites
and 'One 7'ermers.'
The Muncy Luminary' gives rather
an amusing description of the Lycorning
County Locofoco County Convention,
which met at Williamsport last week,
which furnishes another evidence of the
'union and harmony' existing in the Lo
cofoco ranks, and the 'enthusiasm' that
prevails in favor of old Shank.' The
Convention, it appears, commenced with
a row, and resulted in a regular knock
down and drag out fight,' with 'ground
and lofty tumbling by the whole compa
ny,' and afforded considerable amuse
ment to a large number of good-natured
Whigs who had been attracted to the
house to witness the sport. The first
speaker who addressed the meeting was
a little 'balmy,' as the saying is, and his
remarks were as scorching to the Shunk
ites as they were amusing to the Whigs.
Ile pitched into old Hunkeristn' like a
thousand of bricks, declaring that 'Skunk
was a d—n—d rascal, and MAIN would de
feat him !' This alarmed the Shunkites,
and they called for another orator, who
made his appearance, but the first speak
er was determined not to yield the floor.
The scene that now ensued beggars all
description. Both orators took off their
coats and went on, as the Luminary
says, 'like two mad bulls'—first one
speaking, and then the other—all the
while the house in a perfect storm of
shouts, laughter, noise and confusion,
worse confounded—until finally one of
them struck some one in the crowd, and
A GENERAL MELEE ENSUED. This
is a faint picture of scenes which Loco
foco meetings constantly exhibit. If
those speeches could only be reported
verbatim it would be a rich specimen of
Locofoco oratory.
CHANGING THE TUNE.—The Pennsyl
vanian with other Locofoco papers of
the country attributed the high price of
provisions to the Tariff of 1846. Now,
however, the Pennsylvanian alters its
tune and thus predicts a farther fall in
breadstuffs:
"The summing up of the whole mat
ter is, then, that the crops of the pres
ent year in wheat, will, at all events,
equal those of 1846, and the price of
breadstuffs cannot, with such facts sta
ring us in the face, added to their de
pression abroad, fail to fall will lower
than they now are."
Cuatoup WILL.—The following is an
extract from the will of a gentleman of
Philadelphia, lately deceased. His wife,
children and mother-in-law had conspi
red together to ruin his reputation :
Whereas, my daughter refused me
a night's lodging in her house when I
had no place of abode, I therefore leave
her one cent, and to her henpecked hus
band, half a cent, as a man who allows
his wife to insult her father in his pres
ence, is no man. To my other children
I recommend a perusal of the fifth com
mandment. To my mother-in-law I be
queath six cents, provided she buys
therewith a rope to hang herself, for hay
ing swindled the Elect out of a gold
watch she wears, under a pretence of
benevolence and Christian conduct and
behaviour."
A JUVENILE ARONAUT.—The Cincin
nati Commercial tells of a novel balloon
adventure that happened m that city
during the storm on Tuesday last. A.
little girl was seated upon the top of a
hay wagon holding an umbrella over her
head ; the sudden gust which came up
carried her entirely clear of the wagon,
through the air to the sidewalk, upon
which she alighted safely. The um
brella served of course as a parachute,
and she clung stoutly to it.
The tolls on the Pennsylvania
canals, for the present year, will exceed
one million of dollars. So much for
electing a Whig Canal Commissioner.
