ssco's Of the LIST September contain des-
patches from Vera Cruz o: the 18th and 2Ist

to SLATE the substance Of the information
they convey. An opinion very generally
prevailed at Vera Cruz, according 70 tire
last accounts, that Mexico would not for
maIly declare waraganst the United States,
and that the Government would be able 70
realize but a very small proportion of the
Kan i any, which had been authorised
so IOw was the rate Of interest. 1t was
said that, in lieu Of declaration, Mexico
would carry on hostility vigorously against
TeXas; and they talked Of making a rush
upon her with % 900; tut this wac gener-
ally considered rs a sheer .fabie.
The mai Of the 18Th had brought news
from the city Of Mexico Of the election oI
General Herrera to the Presidency, and the

A GOOD REASON.

A LocoGoco paper, which is endorsed by
the Washington Journal, makes the fol-
lowing queer confession:
"Graduates OF Colleges are in nearly nine
cases out of ten Wings. So natural is it
for them to cast their political fortunes
with that party that we have frequently
been surprised at the result of our own
observation of the fact, while unable to ac-
count for it. As incl edible asst may seem,
we never yet have been acquainted with
Presbyterian clergyman who was DEM
ocrat. They have been Wings universal
"; and it is well known that nearly or
quite all of the clergymen Of that denomi-
nation are graduates Of Colleges. Obser-
vations will also demonstrate the fact that
large majority of our professional men of
all classes are Of the same political caste,
particularly OF those who have been run
through those machines for making Young
aristocrats."
We have alway believed that the better
educated and more enlightened citizen
might be, the more surely would he he
Wing. This is the first time, in our expp-
renee, that a Locotoco editor has been
flank enough to acknowledge a fact so in
contestably condemnatory of the principles
oil his own party North american.

POLITICAL MOVEMENTS.

1t is rumoled that new paper is TO be
started in Columbus, under the manage
mont of Mr.. c. H. Brough and others
This will, probably, represent the Van Bu-
rem or Benton interest, as the Statesman
is supposed TO be pledged to the Cass or
Walker interest. A new paper is 10 9
commenced at Cincinnati shortly, we hear,
to advocate the Cass interest. The Wings
have an iron heating that will scar the
hopes of all these aspirants. They need
not give themselves any trouble about The
next Presidency, for it is labor lost. Mr..
Polk, with his Sub-Treasury and Free
Trade will blast the prospects Of the Loco
foco aspirants long before the close ofhs
term. The idea Of another term of locoto-
coism will raise a storm Of public feeling
that will as efectualIy overwhelm the ex-
perimenters as it did in l84O.-OhiO Stale
Journal.

From The WUnion.'
FROM THE ARMY OF OBSERVATION


TOFFIcIAL.l Dispatches from General
Taylor, as late as the 26th of August, have
reached the War Department by express.
The troops ordered to Texas, to compose
the "army of occupation" are rapidly ar
irving, together with an ample supply OF
the munitions of war. Colonel Twigg's re-
giment Of dragons were at San Patricio on
the Gath, in excellent condition, having
well sustained their long march, and find
ing, through the whole route, a splentiiul
supply Of water, provisions, and forage
The horses are in fine condition, and fit for
immediate active service, should there be
occasion to put them to it. This regiment
was expected to be at Corpus Christi on the
27th. General Taylor has, at no time since
his arrival at Aransas bay, felt any soiCi-
tude for the safety of his command, or the
necessity of calling for auxiliary force, even
from Texas. The two gallant companies
of artillery, which, with such promptness
and patriotic spirit, volunteered to go 10
Texas from New Orleans, under the belief
that their country stood in need Of their
services, have arrived at General TayIor's
camp. As there has not been, and proba-
bly, will not be, any emergency requiring
them, they will not, probably, be long de-
tanned from their homes. 1t is the Gener-
ais intention to discharge them as soon as
few more of the regular artillery, now on
the way to Texas, shall have awived-un-
less things on the Mexican side Of the Rio
Grande shall assume a more threatening
aspect. The most reliable accounts repre-
sent that there were, near the middle OF
August, only about five hundred regular
Mexican troops at Matamoras; and that
General Arista was 10 leave Monterey on
the 4th of that month for the former place
"a distance of three hundred miles-wIth
| fifteen hundred more troops, five hundred
Of them cavalry; but there was no news OF
| his arrival at Matamoras. 1t is not known
or believed that there are regular Mexican
troops at any other point on the Rio Grande.
1t was probably the original intention to em-
pIoy these troops in carrying out the threat
! of Mexico to take possession Of Texas; but
the presence Of the United States army,
and the preparations in Texas to meet and
repel their advance, have caused this de.
sign to be abandoned, for the present at
least. The regular troops of the United
States now in Texas, and those on the way
there, are deemed sufficient tokeepin check
the Mexican forces assembled, or likely TO
be assembled, on the Rio Grande. Gener-
al Taylor's attention has not been exclusive
ly confined to the MeXcans. He has had an
eve to the Camanches, and taken measures
to guard the country from their incurslons
The accounts of the climate at Corpus
Christi are very favorable. Generally spea
king, the troops are in excellent health
better, it is supposed, than they would hav
been at the posts from which most Of then
were removed.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, April 1G, 1916.


Sir: The following resolution was adop-
ted at the first session of the 28th Congress-:
ReSolued, That the Secretary Of the Trea-
sury be and he is hereby authorized to trans
fer from any office OF Offices of the Treasu-
ry Department from which their services
may, in his opinion, be dispensed with,
three or more clerks, to he employed, un-
der his direction, in collecting, arranging,
and classifying such statistical information
as may be procured, showing, or tending to
show, each year, the condition Of the agri-
culture, manufactures, domestic trade, cur
rencv, and banks of the several States and
Territories of the United States.
By direction of the late Secretary of the
Treasury, the duty of carrying out the OBJ
iects Of the resolution was assigned to the
Register Of the Treasury, and Subsequent
ly re-assigned by my predecessor to his own
Department. In compliance with that d.
rection, the Register, on the 25th July last,
issued circulars, calling for the information
desired, to various State and Federal Off
GERS; and | regret to learn that but few,
comparatively, responded to the respectful
request which he made for their co-opera'
ton. 1t is probable that the short space Of
time in which those who were solicited to
collect the information were restricted, was
one of the principal causes operating ad'
versely to the attainment Of the objects con-
templated by the Federal Government. -
That cause, at the present moment, is IN
great measure obvated by the ample time
now given to all whom now address ir
relation to this important and interesting
subject.
