LATE FROM THE ARMY.

By the arrival at New Orleans of the steam
ship Telegraph, we have advices from Gen.
Taylor's army up to the 7th ult, drom Mata-
moras. On the 9th of September, says the
New Orleans Delta of the 18th inst, Gen.
Taylor crossed the San Juan, and on the 7th
took up the line of march for Seralvo, where
Gen. Worth, with his command, has halted.
Hays Regiment was to have left China for
the same destination, intending to reach there
simultaneously with Gen. Taylor. Gen. Tay-
lor, in his march, is prepared for any emer-
gency-either an advance or retreat. He
permitted no soldier or officer to take more
baggage with him than he can conveniently
carry on his back A number of steamers had
reached Matamoras with the extra baggage
and the Quartet of the Zapadores was convert

the Advancing Army, so far, have been sen

not advance further till he has advices from
Washington. Notwithstanding the reports o
the advance of a Mexican force, between Sar
Luis Potosi and Saltillo, the General believes

EXTENDING OUR LAWS OVER TEXAS.
We feel pleased that the first act we have
to perform, under our contract with the State
Department. is to lay before our readers the
act of Congress for the above purpose. 1t has
been the singular good fortune of the present
administration to have succeeded in effecting
some of the most illustrious public measures
in our whole history. We have had TO record
the admission of two new States into the Fed
eral sisterhood: the re-adjustment of the rev.
enue on principles of sound and honest policy:
the passage of the treasury bill, securing
to the country the beneficent operation OF
one of the leading principles of Democratic
faith, i. e., SEPARATION FROM BANKS the &C
QUESTION of Texas; the punishment of Mexi-
co for wrongs and injuries, too long endured
with tameness and submission; and last, though
not least, the settlement of the Oregon ques-
ton, which, for a long time, evaded all the
skill of our diplomacy, and threatened more
than once to endanger the peace of the world
Future years will look back upon this as one
of the most brilliant in our remarkable history
Coming men, standing where we now stand
will read in these records noble example, ant
trace in their effects the revival of the purel
days of the republic.

THE OLD SANCTUARY-BY A. j. REau1Er

THE OLD SANCTUARY-BY A J. REoUIER.
Mr. Gushing has received at the Literary
Depot new novel with the above title
Founded upon local Incidents of the Ashley,
and written by Southern gentleman of high
and growing repute in the literary world, it
must commend itself to general favor. The
book comes manifestly from the hand of be-
ginner. The style is unequal, many parts
shelving the want of artistical finish, while in
others, a straining for effect weakens the
strength and impairs the beauty of whole pas
sages. Like a coat brushed threadbare, too
great care and overweight nicely of express
sion, discovers at last the inner texture of
the fabric. Pleasure is increased when the
means of exciting it are kept secret. A fash
ionable audience would take less pleasure in
the feats of Herr Alexander could they observe
the secret wires and springs under the table
so the highest perfection of literary art consists
in concealing the rules and labor of CON-
position.
We say this not in disparagement of the
work before us. We happen to know that il
was dashed off hurriedly, and during catches
of leisure from other studies. The characters
are boldly drawn, and some of them with al
the exquisite felicity of master hand Though
by no means fair test of the authors capaci
ty, The Old Sanctuary gives evidence of a cul
tivation in taste, and superiority in abilities
of which he has Just reason to be proud
