Dates from Tampico have been received to
the 28th. The Neptune with 450, and the Sea
with 200 regular troops had arrived and the

From a letter to the ST. louis Republican,
dated Santa re, October 18Th, we learn that
Gen. Kearney left there for California. Itisa
matter Of some doubt whether he viii be able
to reach his destination by the route he ha
taken.
The war Office shin plasters which were sent
by the Government to pay off and support the
Army, were offered in Santa F6 at 10 per cent
discount and no bidders,
The letter writer further says that the Provi-
sions now in Santa F6, and all expected there
will not last beyond the LIST February. The
country cannot furnish provisions, evenif there
were money enough to buy it. The Mcrmon'

A Virginia Abstraction.

The Petersburg latelig encer has the following
description Of The Sub-Treasury at that place.
1t will be seen that a Sub-Treasury, at the
South, is as different from a Northern Sub
Treasury as Southern and Northern democracy
"What do our readers think is the nature and
character Of the Petersburg Sub-TreasuryF-
The unlearned will, Of course, promptly reply
-"Why, Sir, it is patent Asbestos Iron Box
with a blunderbuss well loaded and cooked IN
side, so that if any man, who hadn't the hang
of it, attempted to open it, he would get a
load Of slugs in his bread basket" This would
be the natural reply of all who hadn't seen, as
we have seen, with our own eyes, the Peters
burg snb-Treasury. Well! perhaps, some one
viii say--"Do tell us, Mr.. Editor, what it is
out with it, and cut long story short" Well,
h Id your breath and listen; The Petersburg
sub-Troasury is-is-is-a Leather Travelling
| Trunk, with straps to m~atch--iust suchsa one
as a man would take on a jaunt to the White
Sulphur or Saratoga--and bought, no doubt, at
one Of the Petersburg shoe and trunk %stores!
That's the Petersburg Sub-Tressuy--it is.--
This trunk, BY tine measurement Of our Sweet.
potato-yard-measure, is three quarters OF Q
yard long-half yard wide, and half yard high
and will hold a busheI and a half Of gold anC
silver, or thereabouts,
sit is placed in the Exchange Bank--not on
dePoSit--but as the safest place our collector
can find. The Bank is not responsible for .
picoyunenof the money--so that if Imam were
to take said travelling trunk, strap it behind
his carriage and cut out to parts unknuM n
the Bank might snap its fingers in Uncle SANS
face and tell him to go to-any place that il
objectionable to ca s polite"
as there a comment required on such a con.
Germ as this?"
"The Banks are not safe guardians Of the
Public Moneym OH no-Al,hough every
mothers son Of the Democracy will willtngl,
trust all their own money with them, the Bank,
, cannot be trusted with the money on deposit
t when they would be responsible for il, and We

The steamer Monmoth, Capt. Baker, arrived
at New Orleans on Friday fran Brazos Santin-

that Gen. Taylor had left for SaltilIo 7C
miles. Lieuts. Franklin and Deschields, with

clova to Monterey is 1870 miles, thence to Sal
tiIlo 10 miles, whilst from Monclova to saltillt
it is but 1870 miles, water plenty and corn II
abundance, and no doubt Gen, Wool will ad

and the transactions Of Saturday, though they
ran up to 6500 bales, tending decidedly iusfa

The Democratic majority in the present Con.

counting, however, the native vote on either

Well, what repert does Mr.. Buchanan bring
back from the east? Does he say that the
1 manufacturers ceased their business IN pro.
spect of the reduction Of the Tariff; that ga
want Of confidence in the administration
has filled them with despair; that they cans
not give good price for wool, because The
democrats are iit power; that prices must
come doDn, so that Whiggery may gn up;
that they cannot compete With British manu-
facturersi Or, do we hear any Of the clap

fact that he had with his own LOT, a quantity
