LATER FROM MEXICO,
,Ittaek on a Train by Guerrillas—Ten
.4merians Lost—sloo,ooo worth of
Property Captured !
•
The daily express brings New Orleans'
papers of the 18th inst. The papers an
nounce the arrival of the ship Tumahroo
from Vera Cruz, bringing dates to the
Bth inst„ four days later.
Apart of the last train that left Vera
Cruz for the capital, was attacked by
guerrillas.
The party attacked consisted of a
small party of the mounted riflemen, un
der Lieut. Walker, which had become
scattered from the rest about seven
miles. The statements in regard to the
affair are very conflicting—some say
that the guerrilla force was about four
hundred strong, and others that it was
only two hundred and fifty. The guer
rillas succeeded in capturing three hun
dred pack mules, together with property
to the amount of one hundred thousand
dollars. The American loss was about
ten out of the thirty men that composed
the party. Lieut. Walker had obtained
reinforcements from Vera Cruz,.and had
followed in pursuit of the marauders.
Peace Rumor.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24, 1848.
It is quite currently reported here—
with what plausibility you may judge—
that the Administration has received the
baiis of a treaty made between Mr.
TRUST and HERRERA. By it, Upper Cali•
forma and the entire country east of the
Bravo are to be ceded to us for fifteen
millions of dollars.
Later.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 26,
The steamer New Orleans, that left
Vera Cruz on the 14th ult., arrived at
New Orleans on the 18th.
:The attack on Col. Miles' train is con
firmed.—The loss in consequence of
goods captured by the guerrillas falls
principally upon the merchants—one
English House alone losing $54,000.
The French and Spanish merchants have
recovered Their goods, by paying smart
ly in the shape of black mail to the cap
tors.
,The portion of the train cut oft' had
incautiously lagged behind. Col. Miles
could not wait for them to come up, bnt
left a guard of 'twenty-five men behind,
which was totally inadequate to repel
the sudden onset of 100 guerrillas.
'Dates from the city of Mexico to the
tsgt instant, had been received at Vera
Cruz.
Scott had issued an order asses
sing upon the States of Mexico, occupied
or to be occupied by our troops, an an
lipid tax amounting to about $3,000,000.
'Phis tax is to support in part the cost of
the military occupation of the count ry, ,
and is a quadruple of the amount for mer-
ly assessed on each State by the Mexi
can government.
• -There is nothing in the intelligence
received, looking like peace.
Padre Jearata Was at San Juan Leo
betnacan, with 800 guerrillas, on the
'27th ultimo. Front thence he proceed
ed to within eight miles of the city of
Mexico. He is a hold fellow, but the
dragoons are after him.
•A rumor was afloat at the capital, that
the. force under the command of Col.
Withers, that left that city on the 26th,
for Real dol Monte, had been cut to pie
ces. The Star, however, does not be
lieve a word of it. _ _
By this arrival, the dates from Que
retaro are .to the 28th of December.
Hopes were then entertained that the
Congress would have a quorum, and
there was much less talk of pronuncia
inentos and revolutions than previously.
A letter from Queretaro of the 26th
ult., says that all parties are agreed not
to send Commissioners to Washington,
arbitration being preferable to that stage
of degradation.
We find little said of a treaty of peace,
but there were whispers at Queretaro of
an armistice of three months being on
the tapis.
• A letter to the Picayune, dated Vera
Cruz, Jan. 14th, says a small party of
Soldiers arrived last night front Jalapa,
bet they bring nothing new except the
arrival of Col. Miles' train at that place,
without any loss or attack, other than
what has been already published. The let
ter adds that the train proceeded on its
route for the Capital 011 the 11th inst.
Every thing remained quiet on the
road to the interior, and will continue to
be so until there is a chance for•booty.
REFORIK IN YORK COUNTY.-At our Jan

Jury trial in the Criminal Court. The
gentleman who is Prosecuting Attorney,
being asked the cause, pleasantly repli
ed. "That the Temperance Societies
had in a great measure destroyed the
business of the Criminal Court—that
people would not quarrel and fight as
heretofore—they would not steal, and
even the common and natural sin of for

clearly embrace this building and render
it, in every sense of the term, a nuisance.
It stands on a public Street--on ground
dedicated to public use as a highway,
and over which all have a right to pass
without hindrance or obstruction, and in
this view I ant fully sustained by the
case of the Commonwealth vs. Bowman
& Duncan, reported in 3d Barr, Page
202, which was an Indictment for a nui
sance, and a case in many respects re
sembling this. It is there said—" The
public square is as much a highway as
if it were a street, and neither the coun
ty nor the public can block it up, to the
prejudice of the public or an individual;
nor can either assert a right to it by -en
closing it." But it may be argued that
time and silent acquiesence has given a
binding force to the Agreement between
A Small 241r:take.
The acting Secretary of the Treasury
—Mr. WALKER being disabled—has sent
in a Report to Congress, acknowledging
an error of SEVEN MILLIONS OF'
DOLLARS in the annual Report front
that Department ! A very neat little sum
for so great a calculator to overlook.—
As may be supposed this discovery has
weakened public confidence in others of
Mr. WALKER'S calculations. Who konws
that there are not other millions either
overlooked, or overcounted I When Mr.
Walker, with the aid of two clerks,
made such a mistake, and, fainted and
has ever since been unable to attend to
his duties, in consequence of the labor
of preparing his report, his powers as a
ready reckoner are rather reflected upon.

stands on a public highway, and no per

is the only right that any person can
claim in and to it.
The County, then, having furnished
the materials and built the House, (not

the materials which compose it, belong
to the county to be disposed of as their
