Highly Important from the Armies
of Invasion.
ANOTHER BATTLE WITH THE MEXICANS.


several highly important dispatches from our
special correspondents in the army, which will
be found of the greatest interest to the whole
country. We also publish other accounts of the
movements OF our troops, and Of the occupation Of
Santa Fe by General Kearney, of the Army OF
the West.
1t will be seen from these accounts, that there
must have been battle some days ago between
the advance of our army, under General Wsrth,
and the troops under Canaes, who is reported to
have taken up his position before Monterey If
this be so, it will verify prediction which we
ventured several weeks ago, that the Mexicans
would oppose the entrance of our troops into
Monterey, and afterwards, if beaten, as they pro-
badly will be, would fall back on the town. The
next WIS from the seat of war will, in all proba-
blity, convey intelligence of this battle, and per-
haps of another that has, this, been fought at
Monterey, between the Mexicans under Ampu-
da, and the Americans under General Taylor.
We have also advices from Washington to the
effect that in the war and naval departments pre-
walls the utmost activity and that the most ener-
getlc efforts are being made for vigorous opera
tons against the enemy. We rejoice to hear it;
and we trust that orders will be forthwith issued
from head quarters that our army take their for
age from the enemy's country. As long as we
pay the Mexcans high price for provisions, there
will be no desire on their part to bring the war to
a conclusion.
in addition to the land operations, we understand
that orders have been issued to take Tampico
San Juan D'Ulloa will be the next place of attack
and we venture to say that the Mexicans cannot
long hold out against such vigorous and manifold
operations. The Constituent Congress- will
probably have something to think about before
December sets in.
We are now in the very midst Of war; When
are we to hear from the army of Chihuahua!
Who IS TO BE OUR NEXT GOVERNOR 1--WE believe
that nearly all the parties have now nominated
their Gubernatorial candidates. They run a. fol-
lows
cor Dem Wig. Natire. abolition.
1t. Gov. .AGardiner, H. Fish, G.Folsom w l. Chaplin.
The Natives have selected their candidate for
Governor, but they are yet unc ertain whether or
not he will accept the nomination hence his
name is withheld for the present from the anx-
ious public.
The Ant-Renters and National Reformers
have not yet made their nominations. The latter
will probably preserve their Independence by
having candidates of their own, butt is suppos-
ed that the Anti-Renters will be satisfied with
the wing candidate, who is good enough Anti
Renter for the present.
The two great parles-the wings and demo-
Gratis, have selected their men, and in about a
week they will probably settle their little private
difficulties, and each become united. 1t would no,
surprise US, however, to see the wings, by the
assistance of the Anti-Renters, poll very heavy
vote, unless the natives weaken them in this city
and the river counties.
We hope that all the parties will turn out in
strong orce for it will never do to lose an election
by apathy and the stronger the turn out the
greater will be the fun.
What effect will the recent news from Europe
have upon the election?
