Latest from Vera Cruz. Propositions to'surrendeiL-Gcn. 7'wiggs en route . pr Jalapa-4.a Vega retired from the Nalioluil Bridge—Cleansing thc city, By ship Louisville, Capt. Hunt, the N. Orleans Delta has news from Vera Cruz to 3d inst. From a conveqation with several gentlemen who c . amelltiassengers by the Louisville, they learn that the peo ple of Alvarado had sent up an embassy to surrender their town on a guarantee of the safety of the lives and property of the citizens. The town .of Jalapa also had sent its Alcalde, with a civil escort, proffering the sutyeyder of that town, and praying that a fora lie sent by the United States to take possession of the town and to protect the rights of the citizens. Gen. Twiggs had taken up the line of march for Jalapa on the ad of April, with a column of 2500 men. Col. flarneiy had left the day before with his regiment, 2d Dragoons. This enterprising and gallant officer had succeeded, by the most incred ible exertions, in mounting the whole of his ftiment, and it now numbers 500 strong, and a nobler band of cavaliers nev er went forth into battle. La Vega had been at Puente Nationale, with 2000 men and 7 pieces of cannon, but not being ; supported by the Government or the peo ple, had concluded to abandon the post, ' and marched his force towards the city of Mexico. Immediately after his departure the citizens of Jalapa met together and determined to send the Alcalde to the A- merictfeamp, to surrender the town. Cu!. Bankhead, with the 2d artillery, is under marching orders, and wonld fol low Twigg's column with a ling train and large military force. The country people begin to come into Vera Cruz, bringing vegetables and other market supplic.— Gem Worth had enacted a tariff upon all articles brought into. the city to be sold.— The market was well supplied with beef, mutton, vegetables, fish and oysters, -at moderate prices. All the grog shops—ex cept two respectable hotels, that have spe cial- lieerise from the commander—arc suppressed, and liquor cannot be sold with in the city, without the consent of the gen eral in command of the city. great many laborers are employed in cleaning the streets of Vera Cruz, which are in a horribly filthy condition. A stench pervades the whole city, particularly that ptirt_of it which suffered most from our canned. It is supposed that there must be many persons buried beneath the ruins of the houses destroyed by our shells. Important from Santa Fe. The St. Louis papers of the 9th inst. contain advices from Satita Fe to the 10th February, which have been received there, vy,ith full details of the shocking massacre at Taos and the subsequent battles. After the severe encounter between our forces and the Mexicans near Santa Pe, Col. Price with three hundred men and four howitzers, proceeded towards the val ley of Puebla, where two large houses, as impregnable as forts, and a church, had bpeu . strongly thrtilied by the enemy with every show of determined resistance.— They reached there January 31st and im mediately commenced the attack. At the first charge of the Dragoons under Capt. .Btrguin, and -the infantry, seven of our men were killed and several wounded.— Cept,Durguip reoeiyed a fatal wound, a shot haying penetrated his lungs as he was gallantly leading his. company to the at tack, T. lrien the houses were taken and the church was stormed, the Mexicans fled, bui„ were overtaken by the Dragoons, and the victory. was complete and decisive.— From 150 to 200 of: the Mexicans were killed and a large number wounded. The American forces lost 12 in killed and 30 wounded. Montoya, one of the leaders, was brought in by some friendly Mexicanshe was court-martialed on the 7th, found guilty, and hung on the Bth. Tomas; another of the,leaders; whom Col. Price required to be:given up, was shot by a sentinel, while attempting to escape. ~They also , had some heavy skirmishing at!Lacandft.ana El Ambuda on their route to Taos,.in each ,of which the Mexicans were,ro ed•with considerable loss. nber of Americans were massacred, at dillerent times, in skirmishes with the Indians. - OFFICIAL DISPATCHES FROM COL. PRICE. --;The Washington Union publishes an diSpatch from Col. Price, giving an account' of the battle of Cavada, Antbuda,.and the massacre and battle of The accounts do' not differ from those already published. He - states that the number of the enemy at the battle of Puebla de Taos vas between six and sev en hundred. Of these about one hundred atitnifty were killed—wounded not known. 04itiivu loss was seven killed and forty- Weitrided. Many of the wounded have since! died.. THE MISSISSIPPI IZEOIMENT.—The gal lantry(of .:the Mississippi Regiment of vol unteers, at Buena Vista, is the theme of uttiverital praise among the officers of the .arthy.

"Afd and Comfort to the Enemy." In reply to some remarks of ours, the Pennsylvanian uses the following lan guage : What the purpesc to ,be accomplished is— whether to , aid and com!bre the enemy, to embar rass the atirnintsitntion, or to soil the reputation of General Scott—we lea% e it to the reader to decide." We purpose replying, in a few words, to the above, which seems to us like the outcry of the treacherous logo, who, while he was•stabbing one, killing anoth er, and thrusting his sw,ord in the mean time into a third, was hallooing against the practice of killing people in the street. Aid to the enemy !! and• this from a newspaper that aided in the election of James K. Polk, and now aids in sustain ing. his wretched administration !!! A newspaper paragraph is an aid to anene my !! Let us see what else may be done • " to aid an enemy." When General' Taylor went into Mexi co, at the !read of the American army, he was opposed by portions of the Mexicans under no effective leader. Ile had nothing to do but to take possession `of the land which he was ordered to hold, and, if as sailed, to scatter Ins assailants as all such may he scattered, when without a popular leader, in whom they have confidence. Ile did scatter them. Battle-'after battle, came, and the arms of the United States Were everywhere. victorious. It is true that therenyas not as much rejoicing at Washington,: as might be expected, but dint was because the people had begun to see that the glory of the iiriny could not be claimed by the administration. In the midst of these doings, the Mexi- cans were yielding to the inevitable conse quence of a want of a commanding gene ral on 'their own side, and the evidence of a commanding and conquering general on the other. The hearts of the enemy of our country were encouraged, and their hands strengthened, by the arrival in their midst of their favorite, and their almost worshipped general; and as if to give to his advent the appearance of a providential interference in their favor, it was Made known that he came to take command of the disbanded forces by the permission of the President of the United States !.! Do-men talk to us of aiding and com forting the enemy ? Are we, for a rental k on the acts of those nearly two thousand miles distant, told that we aid and - comfort the enemy, and that; too, by a paper which sustains - the ]'resident - that gave that enemy its only efficient general'. Shame ! shifilte ! shame ! But does it stop here ? Does the sup ply of the enemy with heart and head, with courage and a general, constitute all' the aid and comfort which is extended to the Mexicans ? No, no! It became evi dent that not even Santa Anna Could with stand General Taylor—not Santa - Anna, with the now combined forces previously scattered, could be sure of defeating Tay lor and his command ; and so an attempt was made to drive General • Taylor from the command ; by placing in the field a Lieutenant General !! who never saw a battle, (a ,personal brawl excepted,) and knows no more of the practice of war than a cognition militia lieutenant. What is that ? If that is not aiding and coin-• forting the enemy, we do not know what is. To snpply one side with a faverite and able general, and to withdraw from the other an unconquered and always con - ()tiering general, in whom ellicers and men had the most entire confidence, seems to us like working in a compound ratio for the assisted party ; and in the case now before us that party is the enemy. And what was the consequence—let every American weigh well that part—of the even partial success of Mr. Polk's plan ? For, thanks to the foresight and patriotism of the Whigs, and a few distinguished Locos, the Lieutenant General scheme failed—failed thrice ! What •was the rc- suit ? General Santa Anna, who was allowed to enter, Mexico, and to take command of tire Mexican army, by the aid and comfort vouchsafed by the President of the United States, was found . at the head of twenty thousand men, and leading thorn in hot pursuit of General Taylor, and though all that oppose General Taylor must suffer, (he is a rough customer for an enemy at home or abroad, and a ready one, too,) yet the attack of this Mexican general, commandin g by permission of the Presi dent of the United States, cost more than seven hundred human lives—seven hun dred warm=hearted true Americans—seven hundred of our friends and fellow-citizens. In that field fell Yell ! CLAY !! Hardin, Lincoln, and so many of the glorious host that followed them--- , fell by the assault of Santa Anna and his twenty thousand fol lower,. And does a paper friendly to the admin istration that thus conducts a war, talk to to us of aiding an enemy ? A paper that stands by a party which, in Congress, in sults by a vote of censure, the' *der of the American army, the hero of ph : Alto, Resacca de la Palma, and MOTNER But the Pennsylvanian is not content with a reference to General Taylor; it Must add an intimation that it is our inten tion to " soil the reputation'of General SCOTT ! !" Where was the regard for the reputa tion of General Scott .when the cabinet was planning to place over his head a peace general ? 'Where was the regard for the reputation of the Hero of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane. when in making prepa rkions for the conquest of Vera Cruz and St. Juan de Ulloa, the President was urg ing upon Congress the measure to drive him froth the field, and place over the offi cers bred to arms a man who is totally ignorant of all modernwarfare in the field !! ° Let us hear no more of this, or some body may proceed to make an application Of the froths we have set forth ; somebody 'may mortify American feelings by giving name to the Os to , which we • have• al q. a zettc. MOldil TROOPS TO XI RAlSED.—abbe I Washington Union of Saturday says : We understand that the President of the lUnited States is about to call immediately about 6,000 more volunteer troops int ) the public service. They are princip al) •' intended to all up the places of the volt - I tcers whose time is about to expire. l is i probable that many of them will renew their engagements ; but to provide for any possible contingency, it is deemed best to make the present call. These troops are intended V) strengthen the three divisions of our army, viz: at Santa Fe, the army in the direction of the Rio Grande, and the column of Vera Cruz. The administration is determined on a vigorous prosecution of the war. Mexi co may be blind to her own interests—she may obstinately determine against any pa cification. In that case she will tin.! the Executive of the United States as reso lutely bent upon carrying on the war as she can be, until peace can be made be tween the two countries. It is the true policy of the the United States to profit by the victories they have gained. Peace or war—the olive branch or the sword—is left to the decision of Mexico. Whatever may be said against the administration, the last complaint will be its want of energy. C ASTI. E OF +l. JuAN ni 111.3.(m. A correspondent of the New Orleans Delia 'l'lle castle was not at all injured : one roan in it was injured by a shell. 'Phis immense fortification, covering - Tetyen acres of ground, was well supplied with ammunition. There were more than 1000 1:1-inch shells, larger than ally used be our army, and two hundred of the finest guns in the world. \lane• of these were made at Harper's Ferry, in this country, and some of them quaint old Spanish brats pieces, dated as back as 16'21. The strength of this famous castle has not been exaggerated. It was a just remark of an officer of the British fleet, in reply to an Inquiry of Commodore Perry, whether he thought it could be taken by a naval squad ron, that "with a thousand British seamen 'Or soldiers to man the castle, it could blow to atoms all the navies of the world before they could make an impression Ott on its walls." ANOTHER cnt,t. FROM 'lnt:LA:so—Letter Front illaria Edgeivorih:—A letter from Maria lidaeworth, the well known writer, hits been received in this country, and is published in sonic of the papers. It is addressuljto the ladies of America, and is written for the purpose of showing that the 'representations of Irish distress are true ' pictures. She says "Famine, disease, deaths innumerable, are in all : parts of this kingdom—putrefite don and pestilence, in some—and if the people are .not immediately relieved by supplies of food, and enabled by supplies of seed, to sow the land, the Amine, dis eases, deaths and pestilence must be gretit er next year. Food, actual food, is want ed ; but seed is more wanted, most want ed, oats and barley. Supply might come from America of barley in time for sowing; Indian corn for food may be had for mo ney—money will relieve all our wants for the present, but without seed our future is hopeless." • DREADFUL DISTIDISS IN SWITZERLAND. —A physician, writing from :Scholl, in the 1 Canton of the Grisoni, on the"2Bth Fe ary, says : " The parish of &hull is one vast charnel-house. A frightful mortality reigns here. Each, day from forty to for ty-tive dead bodies are interred. There is scarce an humble dwelling in the Can ton into - which fever, dysentery, or death has not entered. Graves cannot be pre pared in sufficient numbers;—ln d the bo dies are so hastily interred that he dogs, scraping off the dirt, draw them ut and batten on their flesh. The feebleness of the inhabitants prevents them from digging deeper. The master of a public school, who had a year since a hundred and forty scholars, now has not one. Half are dead, the rest incapable of raising themselves. The master, to support his family, is work ing on the roads." NOBLE LIBERALITV.—The Philadelphia Ledger, in speaking of the recent explo sion of Dupont's powder mills, at Wil mington, Delaware, says : We learn that the Messrs. Dupont not only give $lOO annually towards the sup port of the families of the deceased worlc men, but each of. their widows is provided by them with a horse, rent free, during their lives. Those of them whose cir cumstances are limited, are generally sup plied with a good cow, and their children employed about the works at wages much superior to that paid others for the same services. These facts, so creditable to the Messrs. Dupont, are given us by a gentle man who'has for a long time been employ ed in the mills. KU/NAMING CASE AT PITTSBURG.—An attempt was made at Pittsburg, as we learn by the Gazette, on Thursday eve ning last, by JOSEPH LOG AN, and two offi cers, James Joht con, and George Kramer, from 'MI .he r a. carry off a slave belonging to OGAN, whom they had \ de coyed into a room in the Manongehala House, bk foree,•and the aid of a Steam boat lying at the landing." A. scene of noise and conftisiOn arose, amid which the slave escaped, and the master and offi cers who tried to carry off the Slave, were themselves arreAted under the recent law of this State relative to kidnapping, by which it is made a penal offence td attempt to arrest a slave in a riotous, tumultuous, or unreasonable manner. '!'he kidnappers were brought before Judge Lowry of the Tistriet court, on a writ of Habeas Corpus, where it was to be argued by Mr. BionAm for the prosecu tion, and Messrs. BURT.

Our acknowledgements are due to our neighbor for calling attention to• what had almost escaped our notice, and thus enabling us to "right ouiself." Some weeks since, in making a slight change in the arrangement of our paper, the Flag contain. ing the name of our candidate for President, was removed from our columns, and in the hurry of the moment it was neglected to replace the name of the Hero of Niagara. The uneasiness of our neighbor, in view of the fresh laurels being bound round the brows of the victorious Generals of the present %Var, and the - eertainty of the Whig party's selecting one or tl4 other as its candidate in . 4S, seems very suddenly to have quickened his ob. seiving ' : powers, and all at once, despite the evi denceof our editorial columns for the last few week:4.lle wakes up to the conclusion that "the Star has struck the Scott Flag!" Well we toglay set matters right and replace the name oldie captor of San Juan d'Ulloa, where we trust the decision of the Whig National Convention will authorize it to remain during the campaign of ISIS ; and beg our neighbor to be well assured that in such an event Locolocoism may as well adopt the policy of Capt.

We had intended to avail ourselves of this occa aion'to re-allirm some of the reasons that have in illithleed a preference for WIN vi F.L9 SCOTT, and to say why, at the prenent time above all others, we would look to him. as the standard-bearer of the great Whig pnrty. Such a statement might no doubt be nom hazarded without necessarily subjecting him who makes it to imputations of "selfish motive'' from those who, but a few mouths since, could find nothing but rank, unadulterated '•treason" in the intention of any name other than that of Mr. CLAY in connection with this Presidential question. But the press of other matter upon our columns com pels us to defer the intended remarks. Court Doings. The April Term of Court was brought to a close yesterday evening, after four days' session.

The Peace Propositions. fI The - Diaria del Gobierno, a Mexican paper. publishes the propositions said to have been made by our Government to Mexico, through Senor Aur elia, in his letter to Rejon. Tic U. States demand the 2fith parallel of latitude, front the Gulf to the Pacific, as the dividing line, fur which $15,000,000 is to be paid, and indemnity for war expenses to be claimed; the U. States to guarantie the integrity of all Mexican territory south of that line, to pro tect the latter from depredations by the Indian tribes, and the two Governments to enter int. 'alliance, olremivc and defensive, against all Etiro pean intervention in the talks of America. These are main features of the overtures made with the view of concluding a treaty of peace by commis sioners from both Governments. Official from Gen.. Taylor. ((r The Washington Union publi,shes 'a letter from Gen Taylor to the War Department , giving a detailed account of the battle of Buena Vista. The letter is very long and minute in its relation of the movements of the different divisions of his Army ; but the .principal incidents of inter ' est have already been given to--uur readers. It seems that Gen. Taylor was not at Buena Vista on the morning of the 23d when the battle commenced. He went to Saltillo en the 21st. to make arrange ments for the defence of that town, leaving GCne ral Wool iii command of the troops. He returned to Buena Vista on - the morning of the 22d, when the skirmishing commenced. Not having comple ted his arrangements at Saltillio, he returned that night, and next morning again left for Buena Vis ta. The battle commenced at daylight, ancl•Was fought with great desperation and doubtful success for some time. The ..1d Indiana Regiment had giv en way, and the enemy was pouring masses of cav alry and infantry along the mountain, rind was gain ing in great force to the rear of the Americans.— I Gen. Taylor arrived at this critical moment, and aided by the officers who carried his orders into ef fect with the greatest zeal and daring, he soon gave a check to the enemy which changed the fortunes of the day and leaf victory with the American arms. Gen. Taylor's letter will appear in our next. pr - The Illuminations in Philadelphia end Baltimore on Monday and Wednesday nights, ill honor of the victories in Mexico, Were on the most omgllifieent scale gr - _7' Gen. Taylor's Official despatches give 4,759 as the number of men under his com mand at the battle of litiena Vista—of whom 267 were killed, 456 wounded, and 23 missing. KrThe following toast was lately - given by a Tailor:—"Cemyaylor : like an accomplished workman, he can cut, and hem, and fell, and sew, balms never yet learned the backstitch.," singular;" ( remarks the Au burn Journal in reference to the low ribaldry and insulting epithets applied so freely by -some of the Locofoco editors to the Whig party because of the privelege of free thought and expressicut in regard to the present unrighteous ‘var with 'Mexico, claimed and exercised by the Whig press,) "that the Locofoco papers will persist in making such silly dings at the Whig party as the above. If they had the least sense of shame and decency left, the very name of the Mexican war would cause them to slink away and hide their cowardly faces from the sight of all honest men. But their impudence is equal to their villany. How any any editor• claiming an iota of respeclability can, week after week, dofile his columns and insult his readers ‘vith such miserable slang, in the face of the fact that every officer nho distinguished him self in Mexico, almost every one who has been killed there bravely fighting this Polk war, and three-fourths of the volunteers who have gone to Mexico, are genuine. Whigs; whilst . the Whig presses all over the country have almost with one voice advocated a bold and vigorous prosecution of the war, though they have ,exercised the right to condemn the manner it was begun and the cause for which it is carried on, and whilst the Whigs in Congress, almost to a man, voted for every appropriation of men and money aFked for by the President ;—how locofoco editors in the face of these well known facts, and with the glar ing treason of the President in appointing Santa Anna to the command of the Mexican army, star ing them in the face, can exhibit the brazen impu dence they do, is beyond our comprehension!" IcrAmong the incidents of the siege of Vera Cruz we fend the following beautiful com mentary on the glories of War, particularly when waged by a people professing attachment to the re ligion of Him who taught, "Blessed are the Peace makers, for they shall be called the children of God." "A bomb from the American camp fell upon n church in the city of Vera Cruz, passed through the roof, and exploded near the altar, and killed fifteen women who had taken refuge there, and were enga ged in prayer!'' 11:7"The N. Orleans Picayune publish es a letter from Gen. Taylor to his friend Gen. But ler, of Louisiana, in reference to the use of his name in connection with the Presidency. After stating that such use had been made without his knowledge, consent, or wishes, he says : “This I have assured all who have written me on the subject, assuring them I had no aspirations for that or any Other civil office ; that my whole energies, mental and physical,• were and bad been absorbed in such a way as I thought best calculated to bring this war to a speedy and honorable close, believing it was the interest of both countries the sooner it was done the better—at any rate so far as ours was concerned ; and that President-making should be lost sight of until this was accomplished.” O;7 - An Election for members of Con gress and State Legislature took place yesterday in Virginia. Considerable interest attaches to the re sult, as it may decide the political complexion of the next Congress. iir - r Judge M'FARLAND, of Blair county, refused, at-the late term of the Court for that coun ty, to grant any Tavern licenses, on the ground that the law does not, make it imperative on Courts to grant licenses, but simply invests them with the privilege to do so. This privilege the Court de clined exercising. . The Court in Mifflin county has takpn a similar stand, and refuses to griutt license. QT Col.

ID — The sloop-of-war St. Marys arrived at Pen sacola on the 13th inst. with intelligence of the capture of Alvarado: A detachment of 2,01)0 Men, under Gen. Quitman, had been despatched by Gen. Scott against that place, and at the same time Corn. Perry sailed for the purpose of invest ing the place in conjunction with the froops.— Lieut.llunter, in command of the steamer Scourge, was ordered doss n in advance to blockade the town. On arriving, however, Lieut. IluNrsn thought he might as well go to work and take the place at once. lie accordingly fired two guns and then summoned the city to surrender. The authorities asked time to consider. Lieut. Hun ter demanded an instant and unconditional surren. der, with threats of an assault from the land forces then near at hand, which brought the authorities to terms, and the town capitulated. Lieut. Hun ter then, leaving a small guard in the place, pro- , ceeded up the river, and took the town of Tlaco talpa, a Mexican brig, and some smaller craft.— About SOO Mexican soldiers were secured as pris oners at the two places. On the arrival of Gen. Quitman and Com. Per ry before Alvarado, they found the place already under the Afiserican :flag. Lieut. Hunter was subsequently arrested by Commodere Perry for a violation of orders,'he having only been directed to blockade Alvarado. IL:Tit is generally understood that N P.
