Attack on a Train by Guerrillas.
PETERSBURG, Feb. 2, 1848
The overland express for the Balti
more Sun has arrived, bringing the New
Orleans papers to the 26th, in advance
of the mail.
-.........-...
The steamship Fanny arrived at New
Orleans on the 25th, from Brazos St. Ja
go, from whence she sailed on the 20th
ult.
The Picayune learns from gentlemen
direct trom Monterey, that a train of
eighty-six pack mules, belonging to Dr.
Wilkinson and a Mexican, following in
rear of the Government train, were at
tacked on the 23d of December, near
Ceralvo, by a party of 40 Mexican guer
rillas, and all the mules driven off.
Major Norvell, of the 16th Infantry,
commanding the government train, on
being informed of the attack, halted, and
taking six American citizens, who volun
teered to accompany him, returned and
followed in pursuit. He soon overtook
the robbers, and after a slight skirmish,
in which one Mexican was killed, and
two wounded, recovered all the mules,
and dispersed the enemy.
A gentlemen from Saltillo also brings
intelligence that Capt. Lewis, of the Tex
as cavalry, commanding a company on
ranging service in the neigborhood of
Pants, during the recent fight with the
Camanche Indians' was severely woun
ded, probably mortally.
STOPPING THE PAPER.—Lord Byron, in
reference to the attacks made on his po
ems, "Hours of Idleness," said : "There
is no man, however, thick headed or
heartless, who would not smart under the
knowledge that he was held up in even
fifty copies of a newspaper; there is,
however, no one but a very thin skinned
fool who would, as the phrase goes, stop
a paper because it did not chime in
with all his notions, or because it attack
ed him. Whatever foible I may have
I am not guilty of this miserable fool
ery.
' EFFECTS OF THE WAR.—The number
of deaths in the hospital in the city of
Mexico in the month of October alone,
among the regulars, was 186. Those of
the volunters are not given. The names
are all given in the N. 0 Delta.
Wafts McLean and the War.
The Cincinnati Gazette states that the
following letter was written to a gentle
man in that State, and had been furnish
ed them for publication:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 1848.
My Dear Sir : To all human appear
ance the termination of this miserable
war with Mexico, is more remote than
when the first blow was struck. In my
judgment it was unnecessarily and un
constitutionally commenced, by march
ing our army into disputed territory in
the possession of Mexico. And, I think,
thnt Congress who, unquestionably, have
the power, shou!d put an end to the war
on just and honorable principles.
After agreeing upon the terms on
which a treaty should be made, they
should call upon the Executive by reso
lutions to offer a peace to Mexico upon
that basis, and during .the negotiation
hostillities should be suspended. If the
President shall refuse to do this, in the
military appropriation bills, the army
should be required to take such positions
as shall carry out the views of Congress.
These bills the President could not veto,
and he would be bound by their require
ments. This may be done by the House.
I hope Congress will refuse to issue
any more treasury notes. The notes
demanded, in addition to those already
in circulation, would flood the country
with that description of paper. Such an
emission would constitute a government
bank, controlled and managed by a party
administration. We have now fifteen
'billions of treasury notes in circulation,
and authority to issue five millions more.
I would not increase this circulation a
dollar, but reduce it as rapidly as possi
ble. Such a system would be incom
parably more dangerous to the public
morals and the public liberty, than any
other system of banking that could be
devised. _
To meet any deficiency of the revenue
to pay the current expenses of the war,
1 would authorise loans at par, paying
not more than six per cent. interest, and
if loans cannot be made at this rate, let
the administration resort to a system of
taxation, which shall cause the people to
feel the expense of the war. All wars
should be accompanied by a system of
direct and internal taxation. Nothing
short of this can show, in addition to the
sacrifice of life, what we pay for military
glory. This was the policy in the bet
ter days of the republic.
The late war with England was nobly
sustained by the people, not only in the
field but by the payment of taxes. And
they will sustain every just war, in
which our country shall be involved.
But I risk nothing in saying that an at
tempt to adopt such a system of taxation
would wind up the Mexican war in 60
days. And this shows that the war
should be put an end to. This may be
done by Congress in 90 days, and I pray
God that they may do it.
Very truly yours,
JOHN MCLEAN.

THE WILDERNESS OF TAMAULIPAS.-
The territory between the river Nue
ces and Rio Grande (or Del Norte) is
still the same "stupendous desert" as
when proclaimed by Mr. C. J. Ingersoll
to be a neutral ground which neither the
United States nor Mexico would ever at
tempt to appropriate until thereto moved
and instigated by the Spirit of Evil.
The American Flag (published at Ma
tamoras) contains, under date of the 3d
of this month, a draught of a memorial
to the Senate and House of Representa
fives of the State of Texas from the few
persons who have settled on the Rio
Grande, from which we extract the fol
lowing, statement :
"From the settlements on the Rio
Grande to the county seat at Corpus
Christi, it is full five days' journey,
through a wilderness country, almost des
titute of water, NOT A HABITATION IN THE
WHOLE DISTANCE, and dangerous to travel
lers
.on account of the Indians and bands
of lawless Mexicans. When persons re
siding on the Rio Grande border of the
country are cited to appear at Corpus
Christi, it takes at least two weeks to
comply with the citation, besides sub
jecting them to the difficulties and dan
gers of the road."
OCCUPATIONS OF LEGISLATORS.—The
Harrisburg Telegraph gives the follow
ing as a correct statement of the mem
bers of the House of Representatives, viz:
Farmers, 441 Cabinet Makers, 2
Lawyers, 16ITinsmiths, 2

IGNORANCE JUSTLY PUNISHED.—The
Citizen's Bank of Louisiana recently
bought some stolen notes, and sued the
firm upon which they were drawn, but
failed to recover, because it could not
show that the notes were bought of a
person authourized to sell at auction or
otherwise. The theft of the notes had
been published, but the bank took no
Newspaper.
A man was recently killed in Cincin
nati, while attempting to rob a grave.
He was shot dead, and his body was
found the next morning by the side of
the one he had attempted to remove.

Indian Warfare—Bloody Fight between
the Delawares and Camanches—Twen
ty-five Delawares killed—Defeat of a
marauding Party of the Camanches.
PETERSBURG, Jan. 31, 1848.
The Overland express that arrived
here this morning, brings New Orleans
papers of the 5. sth inst.
The steamboat Globe arrived at New
Orleans on the previous day from Gal
veston, bringing dates of the 22d. A
war had broken out between the Dela
ware and the Camanche tribe of Indians,
and a bloody fight had taken place, in
which the former were defeated with a
lose of twenty-five warriors. The cause
of the war was attributed to the Dela
wares htiving encroached upon the huut-
Mg grounds of the Camanches.
The loss of the warriors will probably
excite the Delaware Nation to revenge
and they will probably raise a large
force to carry on this new Indian war.
A party of Camaches had stolen
twelve horses from the camp of Capt.
Gillette, on the Scio; some time since,
Lieut. Cozzens, with twelve men, follow
ed in pursuit, and after nine days travel,
overtook the party and routed them
completely, killing seven and recaptur
ing the horses stolen, and seizing a
large number belonging to the Indians.
It is rumored that several tribes of
Ind inns have volunteered to carry on the
war against Mexico.
COMPLIMENTARY DINNERS.-Mr. Web
ster gave a sumptuous entertainment in
Washington, on Saturday, to Gen. Kear
ney and Major Bliss. Mr. Winthrop al
so gave a dinner.to large party, among
whom was the brother of Gen. Taylor.
A Boston editor alluding to the long
nose of Julius Caesar, the duke of Wel
lington, John Tyler and other dignita
ries, says that he recently saw a nose
that beat them all. It was thin and
straight, snubbed at the end, and all of
a foot long. In conclusion, however, it
occurs to him that "it may be as well to
state that it belonged to a pair of bet
lows."
SCARLET FEVER usually commences
with nausea and sickness, great thirst,
headach, redness of the eyes, &c. In
two or three days a pricking sensation is
experienced, and an eruption of a fiery
redness begins to appear, first on the
face and arms, and finally a unifrorn red
ness covers the whole body.
In cases of Scarlet Fever 'Wrigh t's lndian Vegetable Pills should be taken
every night on going . to bed, in such
doses as to produce copious evaeuations
by the bowels. This course, if properly
followed up, will in a short time subdue
the most violent attack of Scarlet Fever,
at the same time the digestion will be
improved, and the blood completely pu
rified,

GETTING UP HEPORE THE Won. as Ant.
—Beau Brummel, once the "bright particular
star," of English fashion, being on one occasion
asked the cause of a trifling hoarseness with which
he was afflicted, attributed it partly to his having
got up "before the world was aired," and partly to
his having breakfasted in the the room with
damp stranger." In such a climate, hoarseness or
slight cough may be very good subjects for a joke,
but in this country, where the tlfermometer some
times rises or falls forty degrees in twenty-four
hours, even these apparently unimportant symp
toms are not to be neglected with impunity. If
there is a predisposition in the constitution to pul
monary disease, Consumption will tread close up
on the heels of the indications. There is no dif
ficulty, however, in escaping the danger, if the
proper precaution is taken by a timely use of
Wistar's Balsam of WU Cherry. One bottle of
this invaluable panacea usually relieves the worst
case of cold, and restores the sufferer to health.
