JUDGE BAYLY'S SPEECH ON THE
TARIFF.

The lale period al which this speech was pub
lished, and the pressure Of news upon our CO.
lumns have hitherto prevented us from laying
before our readers the able and conclusive argu-
ment OF Judge Bayly, which We commence to-
day. 1t is evident that, for some time 10 come,
as for some lime past, the Tariff is 10 be the great
question. Il is the question upon which The lale
Of The Republican party, more than on any other,
hangs. Too much light, therefore, cannot be
thrown upon it, The speech of Judge Bayly
possesses this merit in an eminen, degree. Like
The clear and enlightened speech OF Mr. Seldom,
il discusses with The force of reason and of facts
The applicability of the Tariff policy 10 the inter-

The Union does not undertake TO say what IA
cililies, if any, were granted TO Santa Anna By
our Squadron off Vera Cruz-bul has little
doubt that there is no truth in the statement that
Santa Anna exhibited passport signed by the
President of the United States or the American
Secretary of State. Ii adds:
We do not hesitate TO add, that peace is desira-
bic 10 both countries; and that our administration
has sufficiently manifested its disposition 10 pro-
mote it; but this, too, we run no risk in saying,
that we can scarcely according 10 The wisesl po-
Icy midst such war, agree TO any armistice,
and suspend our arms until treaty has been
made and ratified. We can hardly anticipate
any answer by the Potomac 10 the letter address
ed 10 the Mexican government, which was deli
vcred at Vera Cruz under flag of truce on The
26h ul,; and most probably no favorable or sa-
,isfactory reply 10 it, by the Potomac il she has
arrived a, Pensacola. But we will go one step
farther, and say, that il Santa Anna understands
The true interests Of his own country, ne will &C.
cept The olive branch; and spare no effort 10 nego-
liate prompt and permanent peace with the u
States. Let him decline The proposition, and he
will hnd blow following blow, OF which he has
now no adequate conception. We shall be sa-
listed then, more than ever, that we must put forth
all the vigor OF our nation, and at once, in order
that we may sooner terminate the war itself, and

Loss ollie u States Steamer Neptune.

The U. States sioop-of.war st. Marys
sailed from Tampico on Saturday the 2Sth
ullimo, at 3 p. NJ; arrived off The Rio
Grande al A. nj. on the Both; landed
Adlutant Austin Of the Sd artillery at Bra
sos ST. Jago nj 10 A. NJ, and then made
sail for the Balize, where she made the
light at the S. w. Pass at p. NJ, I'd in
slant. We are indebted to Captain Roll
Inns, of the steamer Neptune, which has
been lost, for the following particulars:
The steamer Neptune arrived at Tam
pico on Saturday, the 22d November, with
455 regular troops, under command Of Col
onel Gates, and the steamer Sea with 200
troops on the 23d, when the town of Tam.
picp was formally handed over 10 the army.
Fort AuIcnega was Immediately garrison
ed under the name Of Fort Common, and
armed with Two long S-ponnders. A bat
terry OF two 42-pound caronades, called
Fort Ann, in honor Of Mrs. Chase, lady Of
The late American consul at Fampjco,
commands the AItamIra road. Besides
these, some field-pteces are mounted on
the house tops.

Norther was driveu back end wrecked on
The barr hands saved, the vessel a total
loss. The town Of 'Tampico is already
in good state Of defence, and reinforce.
menis are arriving duly.
The stale OF affairs in Mexico are be-
coming worse every day. Santa Anna
lately made an address 10 his troops, APP
parenly To extract from them an invita-
ton 10 install himself at the head of The 90
Vernment; he was disappointed, however,
al finding that his Grafton was received in
profound silence. Immediately after, nc
started with all his cavalry on secret ex-
pedItion, the object OF which was supposed
by some 10 be 10 attempt 10 cut off one
of The divisions of our army. The most
probable conjecture, Capl.'Rol!ins thinks,
is that he has gone 10 Mexico, 10 control
the action of the new Congress.
The U. 5. steamer Mississippi, from
the Balize, touched at Brasos ST. .Jago on
tho 26th ult., and left the same day for
Tampco. Vessels were busily engaged
At Brasos 81. Jago in taking on boari men
and munitions for Tamptco.
We also learn that the steamer Sphfrc,
Capt. Tarnall, had gone up the Panuco
river, and taken possession Of Two towns,
in Que of which, about sixty miles from
Tampcn, he took ten large cannon and
portion OF The Ammunition removed by the
Mexican troops on evacualing Tampico.
In consequence OF the Two regiments
which bad marched from Tampico, having
revoltcd on the march. they were disband-
ed on arriving at San Louis Potosi. The
army at San Louis numbers about sixteen
thousand, and are reported 10 be badly
supplied with provisions, and the country
continues to be distracted by factions.

The % REGIMENT MISSISSIPPI VoIV"-
TEERs.-We learn that eight companies
had been reported to ihe Executive the
middle of last week, as ready to enter the
service 'durlng the war;" and 10y this
time we have no doubt that companies for
iuIlregiment are reported ready. This is
in the highest degree honorable to the
State, and proves that whoIe-soued love
OF country animates her people. 1t is re-
buke which should cause tie croakers
who have been predicting that the call
would not be responded to, and chuckling
over such an anticipation, to hang their
heads in shame. Mississippi will always
repudiate fraudulent bonds, and The drafts
Of swinding iundmongers-but never the
drafts OF the Union when stout hearts and
strong arms are wanting to vindicate the
honor and maintain the fame of our coun =
try. The minions or dupes of corrupt Gre
dil-mongers may call our boys " Repuda-
tors''-but our life on it, when they are
tried, none will be so reckless as TO apply

The following, which we copy from the

1t is stated upon the authority OF Col.

head of 800 warriors $50 of that number
being Seminoles. He is said TO have ex-
pressed determination TO do as he pleas

upper Cross Timbcrs on the Trinity, have
deserted their homes, having suffered Sc

stealing their horses, and so on.

qT The special attention OF our cotton
planting friends is called 10 the commun-
cation OH tue first page relative to the tue
thOG OF selling cotton, its classification, &c
We have before referred to this matter in
these columns and without the fear OF
commission merchants, or heir influence,
before our eyes, expressed the conviction
that the present mode OF selling cotton by
general agents, and particularly the mode
OF classification, making eight distinctions
10 one or Two differences, are all contrivan-
ccs TO fleece the planter, or honest produ-
Ger, for the benefit OF a class OF sharpers,
who live Gin style' on The proceeds ollher
ingenuity, arrosate much superiority, and
never miss an occasion to ''snub'' their
rustic victims, except when soliciting them
TO send forward their crops, Or obsequous-
" endeavorihg 10 win their good graces.
The remedy for these evils, we agree with
the writer, IS in the hands OF the Planters,
and by unity of action reform of the
evils may be effected. But they will en-
counter much opposition. The press, es-
pee tally at our cotton marts, is almost en-
tireIy controlled by those who lleece them.
We shall refer to the subject again--and
we invite an expression OF opinion from

WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. 191G

WASHINGTON, NOV. "a, 1876,
There has been an uncOmmonly protraci.
ed Cabinet meeting to-day, and measures
of great importance, no doubt, been de.
termined upon. think it is very lky
Gen. Scott will receive the command Of
the great expedition now preparing against
Mexico, and The country will applaud the
appointment. Let by-gones be by-gones.
When the country requires the services
of eminent men, we must take them from
the most prominent, such as have pres
tige attached to their names.
The appointment Of Major General
Scott, if it should prove correct, and
believe the Cabinet are now (half past 3
o'clock) celebrating on it, would neces-
sarily lead 10 that Of Commodore Stewart
in The Gulf. Commodore Conner need
not he superseded or recalled AT all. It's
sufficient 10 order Commodore Stewart
down 10 The Gulf for him as The senior
officer 10 assume The command; and then,
one more extra cheer for OLD LrOnSides,
whose very name is worth an additional
gun on board oi each ship.
Scott in lie army, aud Stewart in the
navy, would look like an earnest on the
part Of the administration, 10 carry on
the war ia The proper spirit. Nothing hut
decision will now answer, and nothing but
heavy blows bring the MexIcans TO terms.
Let them fall lhickIy and heavily on our
bigoted foe, AID spare not. Mexican pre-
sumption must be chas1Iscd. Now for
Vera Cruz or TampicO-the mousing at
AIvarado is scarcely worthy of The high
fame of our navy, won in fair battle against
the Philip OF The seas. Having fought
ship 10 ship against The mistress Of The
ocean and conquered, we ought not TO al
low the Mexicans to draw breath behind
their Publications. The navy must re-
deem itself, Mexico must he deliucred, and
who else can be found a be:ier dccoucher
than old Stewart, who has already taken
twins (the Cyane aud the Levan0 from
mother England?
The administration will make The war
its principal measure, and stand or fall
with it. All other questions, the tariff in
cIuded, will comparatively lose their
importance.
Capt. Walker has been here for some
DAYS. lie looks hale and hearty. 1t is
not unlike an additional batch OF troops
my be called fer before long. We must
have enough 10 be prepared for every pos
sible emergency.

Their OF these reports are true-tirst, be-
cause we do not believe the present COM

lacks bravery or efficiency and second,
because We believe q en. Scout does lack
mot bravery but energy and efficiency.
The only reason why these superannuaied
heroes should be given the command, IS
the remembrance OF their services ''Iong
time ago. but those who fight Uncle
Sans battles do not need the prestige OF
renowned names as an incentive 10 duty.
