A few days since We quoted the opinion of a
| Northern paper, that the Tariff Wings did mol
wish peace 10 be concluded with Mexico, but
really desired that the war should be prolonged,
so that the heavy debt incurred might be made
the basis Of still higher protective Tariff We
did not expect to sec The motive so boldly avowed
in a Southern Wing paper. The N. o. Tropic
says:
| 1--WE assert that we believe that Mr.. Polk is
about 10 bring upon US the national disgrace Of
asking Mexico TO compound the difficulties now
existing between the two Governments. We re-
peat we hope that Mr.. Polk will not sue fOr a
| peace under any circumstances Let our Govern
ment dictate one in the city Of Mexico, TO that
weak and imbecile Government-we want no
comwomise-no tri1ing, whatever. And We are
really sorry, that The Courier would admit the
possibility of standing by Mr.. Polk, if he should
disgrace The nation By proposing pcate TO Mexi-
co. Letthe Mexican war go on until that nation
sues for peace-ei il aumbe ttsflf IN The dust, and
beg that we will lei her have place among The
nations of The earth. II will be Of service 10 her,
and the consequences will be glorious 10 our own
country. Ii will add no military fame 10 our his
tory, but il will cucumber our Treasury with
debt OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MIL
| LIONS, and thai is n small sam 10 pay f0r a
Iar,F thot ,ciH protect American indastrp.'
Weexpecl TO see the peace-proessing Wing pa
pers and the National lnielligencer al their head,
pounce down upon their political associate, who
avows sentiments as rabid and leiocious, as ever
appeared in "Locoioco" press. "No offer of
peace-no comprom!se-war TO the knfc-le
Mexico be crushed 10 atoms and humbled in the
dusl," is The cry Of this Wing editor But he has
the assurance TO 60 still farther in resistance 10
orders from Wing headquarters al Washing
ton and characlerizes as "vagaries" The peace
proposition Of Mr.. Webster, who though ''he
greatest nelec Of the day and The greatest s!ales-
man" "as politician, is moi always prudent
or wise, and we look upon mistake made in
politics, as a crime" But the motive Tor these
fierce denunciations Of the peace-ofering are
boldly avowcd by the Wing editor. He cares
nothing for The lives LOST or treasure wasted, pro-
vided that il will ensure Tariff "lhat will pro-
tect American industry" That monopoly over
rides every consideration Of humanity and econo-
my. II is The Juggernau, which, in The eyes oilhe
Tariff Wings, is 10 crush the interests OF The coun
try and the better feelings Of our nature-and The
people are expected 10 place their necks heartily,
under lis grinding chariot wheels

From The Union we take The following appro-
val by the Presidcn. Of the decision Of The late
Court OF Inquiry in Gen. Gaines case. We
omi, the facts slated, and The opinions OF The
Court, but The main conclusions are stated below:
WAR DEPARTMENT Aug. 49, lS46.
The proceedings OF the Court Of Inquiry in the
foregoing case have been laid before Inc fiesi-
dent and carefully examined.
II il seen that the Court have found that seve-
raj Of The acts OF Brevct Major General Gaines
"were not authorized BY his instructions or by
law. and that he has violated ordeis:"
That tor The calls made by him, "ior volnn-
teers after the 10Th of May, when he knew OF The
victorie. Of rGeneraiJ Taylor The Cont cannot
find any necessity al The time any authority IN

,a;n General and slatf officers, Ter he was re-
lieyed from his command BY instructions from
Tho War Department, "thc Court are OF opinion
,ha, 10 transcribed his authority and violated his

The President views with deep regret The e1-
erci.e of ,hi. assumed authority on The part ofhe
late commander the western division; and while
he is disposed to give every consideration 10 The
circumstances which may tend 10 qualify or MI

tion Of The court, and concurlins with them IN
heir opipion of The "good and patriotic motives
and the public zeal by which he was aciuaied."
the Peesident directs that further proceedings IN
The case OF Brevst Major General Gaines he dis
pensed with.
The President cannot dismiss The case without

Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1846-08-28

On Tuesday we published from the Baltimore
Argus letter from an officer in the United States
Army al Matamoras, which stated that Paroles
on the 18th July was al San Luis de Polosi, on
his way 10 Monterey, with 5000 regular troops.
which, with the troops called for from the neigh
boring provinces, will make his entire force, when
he reaches Monterey on the 18th or Goth August,
near $4,000. 1t also stated that General Mejia,
with The remnant of ArsIa's army, 1000 strong,
was thirty miles East OF Monterey. A similar
account appeared in the New York Herald. The
Union says these statements are directly at war,
not only with The official, bur all other accounts
"Accordng 10 the las, dispatches from Com
modore Conner Of the 10Th July from Vera Cruz,
Paroles was not to have Lett Mexico before The
9th OF July; (and in the mean time, il is be-
leved that Santa Annals movements would deain
him lhere) Ii was not even certain, but it was
'seseraliy supposed, that he was not going 10 the
Northern frontier Not more than fourteen hun
dred men had marched from the capital How,
then, on the 18th July-sxteen days before the
date Of this letter from Camargo-coud he have
been al San Luis de Potosi, and marching on like
a SNOWFALL 10 Monterey, with force of twenty
five thousand, and forty pieces of cannon ?
Aristas (Mejia's) force is also most grossly ex-
asgerated. This whole story, indeed, is erro-
neous. The whole prospect is, We suspect,
visionary"
But The intelligence received by way Of New
Orleans yesterday morning, gives version simi
lar 10 thai first sci forth above. The dates and
locations, however, are far different. Instead OF
Paroles being al San Luis on the 18th July, he
was not to leave Mexico Till the 3lst, and we
have but liule doubt that The uprising of The ar
my at Vera Cruz in favor oil Santa Anna would
keep Paroles busiy occupied, withou, seeking
an engagement with The American troops. Here
are the accounts received yesterday. The next
news from Mexico will be OF deep interest:
"The Government, had forwarded all The dis.
