The next adyices from Corpus Christi
may be awaited with interest, under the
expectation of hearing something further
and more definite as 70 the ultimate destl-
nation Of our little army. We are dlspos-
ed to look upon the encampment at Corpus
Christi. as a Temporary rendezvous, judi
ciously selected for the collection and con-
cen,ration Of our forces. But il certainly
cannot be the intention that the army shall
stop there. The position Is far IN the rear
Of the legitimate boundary OF Texas, and
to make that our point of military occupa-
ton, would be tantamont to surrender
Of the vast territory lying betwcent he Rio
Gande aud Nueces. 1t was prudent 10
make halt there at first. As a depot and
a point for reconnaissance and prepare

been selected on the coast. It's distance
from the Rio Grande was security a.

Of the Mexicans, while lis location on the

the cIisembarking Of troops and landing

the place has answered all the purposes Of
rendezvous, and our scattered batlalions
are collected into well.appointed and
formidable army, il is time 10 move. the
camp. We confidently anticipate thai
Gen. Taylor's division will march to the
Rio Grande, with the view Of occupying
that river as the line Of our western boun'
dary. 1t is not at all. unlikely that the

YucATAN REvoLuTIoNrzED AND INDE-
pENDENr.-By an arrival at New York
from Tobasco, the New York San has re-
ceived the following intelligence from
Yucatan:
On the 9th of last month, the Yucatecos,
under Gen. Barneo, took possession Of
Mexican schooner of war, aud having
placed on board of her all the Mexican
functionaries and soldiers in that State,
ordered her captain TO sail with them for
Vera Cruz, whence she departed immedi-
ately. She had been dispatched by the
Mexicans to levy men and money for the
Texan war; but the people of Yucatan had
suffered too much already from the op-
pressive tyranny Of the central govern
ment; and immediate separation was re-
solved upon, and carried out in the man
ner stated without shedding drop of blood.
The State government was at once chang.
ed TO national one, retaining all the re-
publican principles which have distin-
guished The citizens Of that State.

Southron sets forth the present whig creed
as consisting in a Tariff for Revenue---no
National Bank--a speedy consumation Of

servatlon and maintenance of American
rights in Oregon. These are all genuine
democratic principles, and as they appear
to satisfy the wings, the only question be-
tween US is, who is the better qualified TO
carry them out? Wings cannot give
jealous support to the Texas measure,
