Important War intelligence.

The intelligence which we publish in another
column OF this days Herald, is of a very important
nature. 1t will be seen that our gallant navy is
nobly doing its duty, and will yet show to the
world that all it wants is opportunity distinguish
itself. The expedition of Lieutenant Parker was
brilliant affair.
The military preparations at the South are of
the most active and energstic character. The
government have made additional acquisitions
upon Pennsylvania and Louisiana, and perhaps
other States. Officers ARE constantly engaged in
throwing forward men and supplies
According to the information in our possession,
General Taylor has fully invested Saltillo, and
may have thrown forward portion of his army
towards San LUIS. Orders have been despatched
to him, as we stated Monday, to change the
line Of his operations; bat before these orders
reach him, one or more of his divisions may have
left Saltillo. If so, he is to march and meet
Santa Anna, or change his line Of movement to
the Gull coast, as he thinks best The Govern
fnent, we understand, have left it discretionary
with him.
It's thought, in military circles, that an engage
ment with Santa Anna would lead to an useless
waste OF life. Our private intelligence from Tam
pico, brought by the cutter Forward to New Or
leans, Is, that the occupation of Tampico by our
troops has caused considerable CONSERVATION in
Santa Annals army, and that it was daily thin
ming of by dsertiop. 1t is, therefore, thought
that the Mexicans at San Luis will fall to pieces,
without the assistance of Old Rough and Ready;
and that the occupation of all the Mexican sea.
ports. preparatory to the march to the city of
Mexico, is far better plan than to waste the en-.
ergies OF our army in long marches
All this is Interesting, and the news to come
from Mexico will, therefore, be highly interesting
and important.

badly possesses as many Of the Gle ments of sue
cess as any man in tho party; but it is considered
q matter of doubt if he ever receives the nominal
ton for the Presidency, without creating an
amount of pickering and jealousy that may seri-
ousy affect his prospects of success. The Seward
eliqus are, therefore, taking both Mclean and
Clay into their charge, with the hope of securing
the nomination and election OF one of them.
1t will be an amusing duty to keep track of the
wings from this time till the election in 1913.
With all the advantages they have recently ae-
quired, we should not be surprised to see them
weaker then than they are now; but we hope, in
charity, that they will be WISE

terrible battle between The English aGj French
fleets and the Bunos Ayreln batteries
at the mouth Of the liver parana at the river
Plate, IN South America, nt which the former, al
ter hard struggle, and heavy loss on both
sides, were victorious. Asan appropriate COM
men,ary on this new stroke Of British aud French
justice, we quote the following paragraph from a
late speech Of Gen. Cass. in the L. 5. senate, in
which be alluded tc this battle.
| have already alluded TO Buenos
Ayres. where France and England are
now interfering to their hearts content.
Their conduct upon the La Platte is a.
mong the most outrageous acts of modern
times. If understand their professions,
they wage war against Buenos Ayres he
cause Buenos Ayres is at war with Mon
'evldeo. They are fighting for peace !;
doing evil that good may come. But
what right have they 10 interfere in the
quarrel between two independent nations,
except as the friend of both. and 10 the
interest of both They come not, how
ever, with the olive branch. but with fleets
and armies. They carry on open war
they preach crusade of philanthropy
from the quarter decks Of ships of ,he
line, and from the midst of regiments OF
soldiers. Now all this is flimsy veil to
conceil for other designs; designs of com
mercial and political ascenGency upon the
immense and productive countries Of that
grea, river. They seek the establishment
OF balance of power, which shall estab.
fish their own power, and enable them to
hold In subsection one OF the most mag.
nlticeni regions upon the face Of the earth.
