Hon. JAMES THOMPSON, OF PENNsYLvANIA.-This
sterling democrat whose defeat was claimed by (and
conceded TO the wings, is reelected by majority OF
229. His district is composed of some of the most
thiny settled counties of the State, and was probably
more affected by the storm than any other. In let
ter from Judge T. to our Representative, which we
have seen, he says-"We had the most unmitigated
storm during the whole of the election day, through
out the State that has occurred for thirty years. 1t
rained and blew most tremendously. and nearly half
our votes have not been polled" The Judge is con-
6dent that the wings will be badly beaten at the next
election.

"QUARTER ON THE ENEMY."-It seems now to be
conceded that the Mexcans must pay the expenses of
the war, preferrng war as they do to peace. Gen.
Taylor will require Of the Alcades 10000 rntioas
daily for the support of the troops, which must be
supplied. The consequence will be that instead of
employing 5000 wagons and 10000 mules TO forward
supplies for the army the conquered cities and pro-
vinces themselves will furnish the supply. As long
as we pay the Mexicans twenty Spanish miled dol
lars for beef, twelve dollars dozen for chickens,
and in proportion for bread and vegetables they never
will consent to peace. War is the most profitable
business they carry Poor the Mexicans
appear to be, they have available wealth at this day
to the amount of hundred millions Of dollars

The LIBEL NALED.-A writer in the Washington
Union in some remarks upon the report about Gene
raj Butler, says:-A gallant regular officer who has
just returned from Monterey in the capture of which
he bore his part, in relation the charges against
complaint against Gen. Butler on any account in the
army, he had heard of it; and especially that
he had heard of no angry words difficulty of any
kind between Generals Taylor and Butler nor did be
believe that there had been any. The officers of the
regular army had the greatest respect for Gen. Butler,
as well as for Gen. Taylor, and had all been to visit
the former after he had received his wound"
This sustains what officers returned to this city
declared on their arrival. No such libel was known
in Camp--the Baltimore Sun had the news exclusive

NAVAL RUMoRs.-The New York Sun says: cit
is stated that the naval operations before Vera Cruz
will be conducted on extensive plan-that every
dsposable vessel will be directed to rendezvous at
thai point-that all the vessels ready for launching
will be put in commission, including the 100 gun ship
of Com STEWART. This viii give confidence to the
movement Com. Stewart is one among the most
scientific and experienced officers in the service, and
was through the Tripolitan war; in all the attacks
made by the American squadron on the important
Notifications of that place.

WHAT OUR ARMY HAVE DoNE.--It is now but a
little more than five months since hostilities CON-
menced with Mexico, and the New Orleans Delta thus
shows what has been accomplished
"Commodore Sloat has taken possession of and
annexed California, without the loss of man.
Gen. kearney, improving upon the system, has not
only annexed New Mexico, but has in very sum-
mary manner naturalized Its citizens, by swearing
them on the house-tops' TO support and defend the
Constitution and laws of the United States, and by
appointing himself Governor of the new territory IS
General Wool we suppose, has
ere this reached Monclova, and annexed the new
territory of Coahula. Gen. Taylor has taken pos
session of all that part of Tamaupas bordering on
the Rio Grande, and is quartered in the capital
of New Leon, with the road before him, through
Zacatacas and San Luis Potosi, to the heart of the
Mexican republic.
"These things, for campaign of FIVE months, with
an army newly recruited, in the worst season of the
year, certainly doing something deserving of credit
And, whether like kearney, the generals have ad-
vanced for hundreds of miles, through DESERT or like
Taylor they have cut their way through hosts of brave
and determined foes, they have done well for their
country, and have justly earned its unbounded graft
tude.
So much for what has been done. What further
there is to be accomplished another and more diff
cult question to solve"

MExIco.-The Richmond (Va.) Standard gives the
I fnllnwnn account of the nnnnafinn of Mexico:

MExrco.-Tbe Richmond (Va.) Standard gives the
following account of the population of Mexico:
"By the government estimate of 1912, its number
70lo, 500. But out of these there 100000
Indians, $500 negroes, 2.009,509 Zambos, Mestizos
and mulattoes, aud only million tchites So the
Spanish race in Mexico is but handful, and even
these few are not to be reckoned as the of Anda
lusa. Three centuries of sloth, luxury and exorbi
tant wealth, obtained without labor-of rich mining
superstition, gaming, cigar-smoking, "pulque drink
ing, lawessness, together with government and
tropical sun, have made distinctions between the
"God and Liberty" nation and the men who sailed
with Cortez 'over the broad ocean to these goings
down of the sum-" They hive scarcely energy
enough left cut one anothes threats in their
tnual revolutions. What proves the total want of
force and of mind in this Mexican Republic is the
fact that out of this million whites only twenty
per cent. or 100000 read while out of the
naming 6,0O0,000 Indians, malefactors, &C., only
two per cent or 10000 read (Brantz Mayer,
p. 30l.) Only 100000 out of the whole population
can read Another thing that exempli6es the stagna
ton of spirit and dcarth of intelligence there are on
ly forty-four newspapers and periodicals in that
country"

MoNrEREY.-It is somewhat striking comci-
dence, says the Cincinnati Commercial that the sons
of Uncle Sam have distinguished themselves in two
achievements Of arms, both of which bear the same
designation, viz the Revolutionary battle of Kings
Mountains, and that of Monterey in the existing
war-Monterey, literally translated, signifying also
Kings Mountain. We might add, too, the taking of
Monterey on the Pacific coast, by Commodore Sloat,
making triple coincidence.

excellently counterieited and calculated TO deceive

Our friend Chairman of the Indiana State Sentinel,
seems disposed to saddle the mail failures at Indiana
polls, upon the Office at this place. Now we can
inform friend that this is rank injustice, and ne
should not strike until I've knows whom to- aim his
blows The Columbus Office is not :" badly man
aged" Office; so far from that, we state without lear
of contradiction that there is not better managed
Office in the country than the Columbus office; and
whatever vexatons the editor has bad, he has done
injustice to Gen. Medary. There has been but one
partial failure Of the eastern mail this side OF heel
ing since early last Spring The failures which have
been frequent and annoying for the last two or three
months have all occurred on the eastern Railroads

to the Department at Washington, or the Postmasters

GIVE have no disposition TO find fault with the
Columbus postofice without good cause. Nor are we
the only fault-fnders. II has long been complained
of by persons here most Immediately connected With
the mails, and who ought to have correct information
on the subject. The eastern routes have been man
aged badly enough, without doubt; but that don't
account for the fact that when papers hare arrived at
Columbus, but a small part Of them have been for
warded here direct, though some Of the officials have
found time to CRAFTY their particular friends with
private letters giving summary of the news. Now,
whether fault exists in said Columbus postoEce, we
do not pretend to knoo. But did, in one or two
articles the subject give reasons for so belley-
ing We have also had correspondence with other
Offices, especially at Wheeling and Pittsburgh, and
each and all give their own Offices fair characters"

Among those engaged in the game were John Hef-
ner, (the deceased,) and Barney Feeney. Hefner il
is said, drunk and far missed the hole that all
hands threw apples at him. The bandage being re-

ing an apple at him; this Feeney denied, whereupon
Hefncr insisted that Feeney had done it. and said he
