FROM THE RIVER PLATE.

Private correspondence from Montevideo and
Buenos Ayres adds some facts of interest to the
intelligence lately published, as gathered from
the Buenos Ayres Packet. A letter in the Jour
nal of Commerce from Montevideo, says:
"a revolution among the enemies of Rosas at
Corrienties has resulted in the dismissal and the
flight of General Paz into the province of Para
quay. This news has struck the Ministers of
England and of France with CONSERVATION, and
entirely upset their views in regard to Rosas,
whose overthrow they anticipated through the
medium of General Paz and his army, consisting
ofConientinos, Paraguayans, and disaflectod Ar
gontines. We should not be surprised to find
in very short time, that the English and French
had embarked their troops, and made their exit
in utter disgust and disappointment"
Another letter, dated at Buenos Ayres on the
28th says:
"That the English and French went into En-.
senada week ago, and set fire to and burnt three
Italian merchant vessels loading there. Six 9th.
cr small vessels of that nation were near the
harbor at the time, and were frightened off,
You will learn by this conveyance of the impor-
tant difficulties in Conienties with General Paz
and the Governor ofthe Province. Paz has had
TO 90 TO Paraguay. Corrienties will, beyond O
doubt, regulate with General Rosas, so that the
intervcntonsts will have to leave the river
This occurrence, together with the late dilIicul.
ties in the Mount, will, think, induce the Eng.
lish and French to send out other Minister'S il
they wish to settle the affair, as Rosas will moi
treat with those here. They will have to send
new Ministers or 10000 men. One or the other
is now the only means by which this business
can be selllnd.v

DREADFUL CALAMITY.

ST. JonN's (NEwFoUNDLAND) TOTALLY DEs-
TRoYED BY FIRE, FIFTY LIVES LosT!-Capt. Scar
row, of the brig Blucher, which arrived here this
morning from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland,
brings information of the destruction, by fire, OF
the city of St. Johns. The captain reports that
the fire commenced on the 9th ult., and was still
burning on the 10Th, the day he sailed.
reportwas current when eleft llarbor Grace,
that the whole city, except two stores, had been
destroyed; that about fifteen vessels in the port
had been consumed, and that fifty soldiers had
perished in blowing up houses to arrest the pro-
gress of the flames; but as regards the truth of
these latter particulars, Captain Scarrow cannot
vouch, not having been able to procure correctin-
formation before his departure.
Since the above intelligence was communica-
ted to us, we may mention that Halifax papers to
the 18th ult. have come to hand, but they make
no mention of any such accident having occurred.
Notwithstanding this, the statement above given
may be substantially correct, the communication
between the places being somewhat irregular.
st. Johns, Newfoundland, suffered severely
from fire during the three successive years, 1916,
1917, and 1918. On the first occasion 1870 hou-
ses were burned, the pecuniary loss amounting to
upwards of E100,000, and 500 persons were
driven to seek for habitations.-Qucbec Gasette.

tine NEXT PRESIDENT.

We perceive, that since General Taylor's Vic
tories over the Mexicans, apublic meeting in New
Jersey has nominated him for the Presidencey,-
and the idea has been rather iayorably noticed by
some of the papers.
We do most earnestly dcprecate the notion of
making another man President of the United
States, merely because he has been a successful
General. The victory at New Orleans was
the cause of General Jackson being made Prcsi-
dent, and twill be many years, if ever, ere the
country recover from the effects ofthat unfortu-
nate infauation. Gen. Jackson was the political
progenitor of Locolocoism, and the long train of
evils which have come in the train of"progres-
sive democracy, may be attributed to the prnci-
pies by which he was elected.
We admit that General Taylor has shown him
sclftO be good General,-o his other qualifica-
tionswe are not informed. Ifthey are such as to
make him worthy Of being elevated to the first
Office in the world, we have no objection to his ell
ovation. But do not make him President, be-
cause he has been a General. We can conceive
of nothing that would be more injurious TO the
republic, than TO have the precedent further cs-
ablished, that the directest avenue TO the Prcsi-
dency, is through the camp. The love of war
is already sufficiently characteristic of the coun-
try, without this additional impetus to its propa,
CATION.
Many people seem disposed to believe that nc
facts of past history are at all applicable to the
United States. Tell them that military chief.
tains and the idolizing of military achievements
have been, time and again, the destruction of free
governments, and they seem to think that there
! is something so anomalous in tho situation of thi,
country, as to remove it entirely from the opera
ton of this rule. Human nature, however, is a
bout the same, in all ages and countries, and i
may be very fatal mistake, to suppose that tho
facts which have always operated in one way a
mong other people, would not have the same re
suit with us.
While we have no objection to General TayIo
being rewarded to the extent of his desert, we d,
i. object to his generalship being made the basis 0
his elevation to the Presidency. A man being
great General, is no more a reason for his bein
made President, than because he was great at
foot-racc; and, in the selection of president, W
think would be highly beneficial to the country
if the people set the same regard upon both quail
ihcations.-ZaHesriHe Whig.

FORT FOLK, POINT ISABEL, June 7.
We march tomorrow for Burita, where we
shall be stationed for short time, and prepare
for operations in the interior of Upper Mexico.
Troops are arriving dali y, and there is more to be
feared by famine from the large accumulation of
our own forces than an engagement with that of
the enemy. The men al the point are much de-
bilitatod by a severe dysantary, so much SO as to
render them almost totally unfit for service; but
few will be able to march from here to Bura.
They need better water, u change Of food, and
more exercise.
General Taylor will not move into the interior
until he has collected more stores, and establish
ed dcpols along the route of march; to do which
in the hurried and pressed transactions of bus-
ness here will require weeks, if not tmonths.
We have near four thousand voluntccrs.-
Monterey is now filled with Mexican troops, and
the road to it is through mountain passes that may
be defended very successfully by a very small
number of the enemy. But General Taylor
will reduce the city to subicction if he attempts
it, Both volunteers and regular army have un-
bounded confidence in his sOgacity, military skill
and heroism. They believe he can accomplish
whatever he may attempt.

ADVANCE OF OUR ARMY INTO MEXICO

On Saturday the 7th, Lieut.. Col. Wilson left
Matamoras for Reinosa, making the first move
mcnt towards the invasion of Mexico by the A.
merican army. Colonel Wilson has a command
of five hundred strong. -Four companies of the
First Regiment of Infantry, under the respective
commands of Breyct Major Abercrombric, Cap
tains Miller, Bachus, and La Mote. Captain
Prices company of Texan Rangers, with sec
ton of Lieut.. Bragg's battery, under Liouts.
Thomas and Johnstonc, and a company of Ala
bama volunteers, under General Desha, to the
command. This movement is highly interesting
because it opens the ball of carrying the war into
the cnomy's country.
Rcinosa is small town sixty miles from Mat
amoras, on the Rio Grandc, containing about one
thousand inhabitants. 1t is valuable point as
military depot. 1t is presumed that Col. Wilson
will take it without Il bow-at least the soldiers
fear such will be the case.

FROM THE ARMY OF OCCUPATION.

The Steamer New York arrived at New Or
leans ON the 18th inst. bringing advices from
Brasos ST. lago TO the 9th inst, and Galveston
papers to the lth inst.
News is snxiously expected from Col. Will
sons expedition to Reinosa, as it is stated that
Canales and all his force, consisting of from
twelve to eighteen hundred cavalry, are concen-
trating there, and will no doubt show fight. Col
Wilson's command amount to about eight hum
dred. He has with him Desha's Mobile Volun-
teers and Prices Texas Rangers.
The news of General Tayor's promotion to
the grade of Brevet Major General, has dillused
ioy through all the ranks of the army and in the
State of Texas.
The delegation from the Louisiana Legislature
was to leave Point Isabel on the 7th inst, on their
way to Matamoras, to present the thanks of that
body to old "Rough and Ready"
There was little sickness amongst our vol
unteers, diarrhea, arising from the change of
food and condition of life. They will soon get
Injured.
There were eleven tribes represented at the
Indian meeting, and the treaty made with them
by Governor Butler was signed by the Chiefs
with all the customary solemnities The princi-
pal object sought by the contracting parties, was
the establishment of boundaries.

TIE NEWS FROM MEXICO.

BY the arrival at Havana, of the British mail
steamer, from Vera Cruz, news little later has
been received from the Mexican Capital. The
MoXicanCongrcss has held preparatory session.
No doubt was entertained that Paredcs would be
elected Presidentof the Republic, and it is thought
he will be invested at once with dictatorial pow
ors, that he may meet the existingcrisis. Anoth-
er rdissolution of the Ministry had taken place.
Paredcs was fully determined, it was thought, to
hoadanarmy himself, and start lorthe Bio Grande.
If he takes the field he will command an army of
sixteen thousand men. The Mexican papers
state that Arista left Matamoras because it was
not dolonsible. They state tholoss of their army
in the two battles of the 9th and 9th of May, at
262 killed; 355 wounded; and 1876 prisoners.

Mexican Government, by its Legislature, and a

THE EXPEDITION AGAINST SANTA FE.


The St. Louis New Era of the 18th informs us
that number of wagons, loaded with ammuni-
ton and provisions, have already started on their
way over the praires, and that Colonel Keaney
sends them ahead as fast as he can get them in
readiness. More thantw wohundred Dragons have
also taken up their line of march, but it is not
known when the main bodyof the troopswillstart.
The Lexington (Mo.) Express mentions the
arrival of u trader at Independence from Santa
Fo, having made the trip in twenty days, who
brought intelligence that the authorities of Santa
Fo were fortilying the place, and, besides two
thousand men then under arms, had made re-
QUESTION for five thousand men from chihuahua.

TRIrMPH OF TIE LAW.

tiyes of this State on Tuesday ordered to a third
reading bill to divide the State into districts for
the choice of Representatives to Congress by the
overwhelming vote of 1873 to 35. This is one of
the subjects upon which the radical democracy of
the State have heretofore made strongest opposi-
ton ever since the law was passed by Congress.
Some few of the leaders still resist, but the sound
good sense of the House has prevailed.
The bill divides the State very fairly, both as to
politics and population. No county is broken,
and each district is as compact as it well can be,
while the population is nearly equal. The dis
tricts ara laid down ms fellows.

MORE OF THE OPPRESSIVE TAX LAWr
The returns Of the Assessors of this city and
township exhibit some results uuly astonishing,
even when comparedwih theremrns made in 9TH
er towns and cities of the State under the new tax
law. II thes5 results do not remove tho film from
the eyes Of the farmers Of Franklin county and
60 far to show to the considorao of all parties,
the State over, that the Trainers of the new tax law
were guided BY true wisdom and sought by lhoir
labors to promote the interests of the great mass
OF the taxpayers of Ohio, We err much in our cs-
innate of public intelligence and public lusrlcc.--
The returns that are coming IN from the towns all
over the State, show that on them falls with the
greatest severity the searching provisions Of the
law. Yet il - Il severity consistent with Justice
aud right. In them is found the great bulk of
those classes of properly brought on the tax list
and compelled TO bear share Of the public bur-
thens for thefrst time by Wing Legislators. In
them We find the gold and silver Watches the pia-
nos, the merchants capital, the money at interest,
the costly furniture, the manufacturers capital,
the steamboat and railroad stock, &c. &c. The
sheep and hogs are the only possession on which
the farmer, a. general thing will pay tax that
he has not already been obliged TO pay. In n
short time wo shall be able 10 oshow what propor-
ton all the capital Invested in this kind Of stock
will bear 70 the enormous amount of city and
