TEXAS AND MEXICO.

We have highly interesting intelligence from
Mexico and Texas. The centralists under Aris

alta, have had bloody engagement near Mier,
on the Rio Grande, in which the Federalists
were totally routed, with great numbers killed
and wounded; the exact number no. Icing

returned by the President, but the nature of the
instructions sent is not precisely known. 1t
stated, but with what truth we know not that
truce has been agreed upon with Mexico, and
it is thought by some that AriSta may remain
some twenty miles from San Antonio, and send
to demand tle surrender of the Fed
eralsts. Others doubt whether even if this
should he the case, he will not attack the town
if he sees prospect of taking it.
Col. Fisher has only about enc hundred and
sixty men under his command; but il is beliOv.
ed that, with the assistance ofthe citizens ofthe
town. he can hold out, if attacked, until three
hundred troops under Col. Burleson, can arrive
from Austin, with the volunteers, who would
immediately fly TO arms.
The next news from Texas will be looked for
with deep interest, as we shall then learn whe-
ther the advance of Arista is mere pnrsuit oil

PUT THE BOOT ON THE
RIGHT FOOT.

We observe Of late, the Wing Advo-
cate of this county, descantiDg freely
on The difference there is between get-
ting into Office, by appointment, and
through the Ballot Boz; from which we
must believe the editor is opposed to
appointments 10 Office, and consequent,
y crosses the principles OF bis party at
right angles. But we coincide with the
Advocate on that point. We 60 for the
ballot box entire; still we cannot see
how the editor can consistently cry
down appointments, when they are the
very soul of the party, to whose skirts
he cings, and whose principles he i'd
vOcates. The Federal party would not
at this late day be in existence, nor
have had Log cabin man, TO run for
President, had 1t not been for appoint
ments. They, as party are too un-
popular ever 10 expect much through
The ballot boxes except defeats. -,
Let US Coupare the Two candidates for
the Presiiency.andsee which has gain
Ell his popularity through the ballot box.
Harrison has held Office for more than
half century, and with a few excep-
tions, the whole time by appointment.
Mr.. Van Buren has been in Office,
about 80 years, and with three OF four
exceptions, has held all his Offices
through the ballot box. He was elec>
tedto the State Senate, TO The United
States Senate, TO the Gubernatorial
char of N. York, to the Vice Presiden-
cJ, and to the Presidency straight from
the ballot box. So it is down 10 the
lowest elfices; take those who have
passed through the ordeal of ballot
boxes, and become known; and you will
find out of every ten, nine democrats
Then take those who have held office
for a long number Of years, by appoints
ment, and you will find nine out Of ten,
Federalists. -.r r rs4

The London Observer of March 29th says.~
1t is said in the city that authentic accounts re-.
ceived within the last day or two from Canton

really alarmed, lest the impending war should
cause a scarcity of British goods in China, and
that in consequence of this apprehension they
| were making great efforts TO effect an exchange
of commodities with the British vessels. Lord

Paris on Wednesday, confirming the news OF a
declaration Of war by the Emperor Of Morocco
against France. 1t was supposed that the Bey
of 1'unis would unite with the Emperor and the
