We have been favored by friend with

giving you an account OF business lransacs
tons here-which are dull. IhaVe now an

dent that they were Immediately hungl il
also states that party Of Americans on
their way from CamaTgo to Matamoros, were
attacked by some Mexicans-one American
and six Mexicans killed. The news from

ordered that all MexieaHs were to be de.

FROM Mexico. The late news from
Mexico, which we fnd 10 the New orleans
COMMERCIAL Times Of lhe 25.h ult., possess
ses some interest as indicative Of the course
of the Mexican Government in regard TO
the war, Private letters, says the Times,
state that however inclined Santa Anna may
be to treat with the United States, yet
thai the feeling Of the masses is so much
opposed 10 peace, that he is likely 10 meet
with unexpected obstacles in endeavOliOg
10 come to an amicable arrangement. Il is
represented as his earnest desire TO cOnvoke
Congress as speedily as possible; and to ex>
ert his whole influence with that body tO>
wards securing a speedy and permanent
peace.

THE NEWSPAPER.

Cowper makes a great ado in his poem,
I" The Winter Evening"" about the urrival Of
the post boy, the opening Of the mail, and the
reading OF the newspaper; and he gives a
picture true 10 the life. We have witnessed
and taken part in scenes very similar 10 that
which he describes But he knew but little
OF the enjoyment which we derive from this
source. We live in a land distinguished Tor
the number and character of its newspapers,
and hardly town in our whole country IS
there whose inhabitants do not possess lhe
privilege, not only Of reading the newspaper
when the mail arrives, but Of having II brought
right TO their doors every morning. While
the early lark is singing, and the sun Just hit
ing his brilliant day lamp above the Eastern
hills, they may sit in the parlor or walk in the
garden reading the news from all nations,"
which the faithful printer has prepared for
them during The previous day and night. Thus
in summer. And even in cold winter too the
people gather around the newly kindled fires,
and shiyering at first soon grow warm as the
fire burns more brightly and they become more
interested in the newspaper.
The newspaper is simple but a pow
erful affair, exerting wonderful control over
the minds OF community Books have their
of the newspaper, which seems to be a sort Of
record in which every one is interested. Here
are the doings of men who live in our day,
who are now present with US and with whom
we are well acquainted. Here are their own
words and sentiments, treating on subjects
which concern us and if any thing new has
transpired here, we have an account of it,
The newspaper tells US every thing 1T gives
lis light on all subjects interesting to US, and
calculated to promote our welfare. We mean
well conducted newspaper does this.
And then at what small cost do we gain
this information? For single penny we get
knowledge that may be wurth thousands 10 us.
We may in one number alone find some USE
ful moral lesson, the benefit Of which may be
lasting; or learn some fact, upon which our
fortune may hang, or read some hint concern
ing health which may restore US from a long
sickness, or find some advertisement which
will materially aid US in our business. In.
deed, there is no telling in how many ways we
may derive advantage from the newspaper
And from all this we conclude that the people
serve themseives-promote their own inter
ests--in encouraging in every proper way the
editors and the printers Of newspaper.
