General Scott.

This able General has finally received orders
to proceed to Mexico. What will be his plan
of conducting the next campaign can of course
as yet be only matter of conjecture. The
.N;e,c York Express talks thus:
| .Najor General ,Scott.-Ths able head of our
army is now in this city, at the City Hotel en-
route for the South and seat of war. A report
is current that he will leave to-day in the South
erner, for Charleston but this we are assured,
is mistake.
OF course nothing definite can be known of
the orders under which Gen. Scott is to act,
but there seems to be little doubt that his des-
tination is Tampico, and that the reinforcements
ordered are to act under him there, for the pur-
pose of effecting junction with Gen. Taylor
at San Luis Potosi. The Government, we sus-
pect have abandoned the idea Of an immediate
march from Monterey to San Luis Potosi, not
only on account the distance (340 miles) and
the great difficulty of obtaining water on the
route, but on the necessity if it is attempted, of
doubling or trebling the force under Taylor's
command. Tampico, therefore, we presume is
to be the line of operations, and Gen. Scott, re-
inforced by regulars from Gen. Taylor's divis-
ion, and by Gen. Wool, will probably advance,
we believe, from that point to San Luis Potosi,
and meet Santa Anna. On this route there is
an abundance of water from the river Panuco,
and its tributaries, and the distance only $50
miles. 1t is highly probable that Gen. Scott,
outranking Gen. Taylor and Gen. Wool, should
be put at the head of this expedition, inasmuch
as the cooperation of the three distant diyis-
ions will be necessary-but it is not understood
that he is to supercede General Taylor; though
he would outrank him by seniority in the same
field of operation. After the junction at San
Luis Potosi, and the probable capture of the
city of Vera Cruz, it is probable that if peace
is not made serious effort will be made upon
the city of Mexico.
A few days ago, it is stated, the President
and War Secretary sent for General Scott to
consult with him and receive his plans of oper-
ations, under the present exigencies of the war.
He detailed them, they were accepted, and he
was given carte blanche for their execution. in

Rtely to all.
We have limited, without consecutive plan

our boosted freedom to leyal with the tyrany

than often finds its way to the Capital, and were
our task to instruct the Legislature we should

remedy will be applied.

Continental Market.
DANTzIc, October 20.


Freights continue to advance, and 6s Cd has
already been paid for London, and IS l0d for
Liverpool, for large vessel. During the week
about $500 qrs Wheat have changed hands at
60s to 54s for mixed, and 53s to SIS for high
mixed. The stock in granary is estimated at
from so, 900 to 10000 qrs, and we may possibly
receive still $4,000 qrs before Winter. Were
II not for the deficiency of the potato and barley
crops in Poland, and the adjacent Austrian prov
inces, we might expect the arrivals thence next
season to amount to 100000 qrs, but, under
present circumstances, we cannot estimate
probable supplies at above 100000 qrs.
STErTIN, Der. 2l.-In our market there is
but little doing, owing to the want OF stocks OF
all sorts of Grain. Good new Wheat, but of
light weight, is obtained at Sos per or, but old
heavy 60 lbs Wheat is held at Sos.
RosrocK. Oct. 2l.-The stock of old Wheat
il very much reduced, and being held entirely
in firm hands, it may be considered as out of
the market. The supplies of new come very
sparingly. The weight this year is not heavy,
but the color is very fine.
ODESSA, Oct 12.-Our market is much quiz
eter than it has been for some time, owing to
the want of money, and prices are somewhat
lower in consequence. This stateof things is
caused solely by the total absence of shipping
TO carry off the wheat which has been brought
here, principally for Mediterranean account
the demand for vessels is so great, that lGOs
per ton has been paid for Prussian flag to
load for Antwerp. The quality ofthis years
crop is SPLENDID, mostly weighing 63 lbs per
bushe, and such quality is now obtainable at
ass. The want of ships is likely to continue
during the winter, and most favorable oppor-
tunity exists for executing orders.

take command. There is the most cordial good
feeling between the two officers. We are glad
to see, even at this late day, that plan for
campaign is set forth, which can meet with
some appreciation from the country.

FEMALE HERoIsM.-We knowno reason why pa
triotic devotion should receive its need of praise
though it be shown by an enemy. A good in

ladies of Jalapa, who have volunteered to ac-

should it proceed to Vera Cruz, and remain in
the rear to afford aid TO the wounded.

= A TALE OF SoRRow.-About six months
ago widow lately came to this city from the
State OF Maine; she was the mother of five
children four of whom she brought with her
when she came. Her chief purpoae in coming
here was to find employment for her family
whereby they might obtain comfortable liy-
ing and enjoy the comforts of home. About
three months after taking up her residence here
her youngest daughter, about nineteen years Of
age, was taken sick ad died; in the following
week, son younger than the daughter, also
died: then in another week a young man who
was boarder in the family died; on the same
week another boarder, a young man was taken
sick, went home and died in the following week
then on the next succeeding week another
daughter died; and on Wednesday the last OF
the-four who came here with the mother, died
also. The one who died Wednesday was mar
ried about two months ago to worthy INDUS
trlous mechanic of this city. They all died OF
the typhus fever. These simple facts tell a SAD
tale of sorrow and bereavement otcen Co"f-

SURRENDER OF IAmPICo WITHOUT BATTLE.
The New Orleans Tropic of the 3lst ult., brings
MS the gratifying intelligence that the important sea-
port and fortified town Of Tampico surrendered on
the 18th inst to our fleet without battle, and is now
IN possession of Com. Conner. We REGARD the oc-
cupaion of this port as of more consequence in
the further prosecution ofthe war, than all the towns
and territory that have been TAKEN and we are great
Iy surprised that it should have been peaceably
given up.-Defroit Advertiser.
The Tropic saws
The United States steamer Mississippi, Lieut.
Commandent Henry A. Adams, arrived at the South
West Pass on Thursday night from Tampieo, with
Commodore NJ Perry on board. Commodore Perry
and Purser Warrington reached the city, in the tow
Star, Yesterday morning. We have had the
pleasure of conyersg with the officers above named
and from them we learn the gratifying intelligence
that on Saturday, the 18th inst. Tampco was taken
without the shedding Of blood, and is i'm possess
sion OF Commodore Conner. The troops of the gar
rson had evacuated it some time before, carving
with them its guns and ammunition, or disposiup of
them in some way, so that they conld not be found
The important city of Tampico is now ours, and the
capture OF 1t without the loss of man is gratifying
IN the extreme. The town garrisoned by about
three hundred of our sailors and marines.
The Mississippi landed Acting Lieut. Anderson
of the Navy, at The Brazos, to communicate to Gen.
Patterson the capture of Tampico.
1t is believed that the Mississippi which vessel
will start on her return to the squadron this evening
was ordered here to procure arms, ammunition,
and 1t is thought men, to reinforce the United
States garrison at Tampco.

HARBoR NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ofthe leading
presses of the Democratic party are beginning
to warn their adherents to keep themselves aloot
from the proposed Convention, pretending that
there is danger Of wing intrigue and opposition
to the President. How these presses, many of
which, on the spur of the moment, warmly ad-
vocated this Convention, will defend the consis-
tency of their course, we know not; it Is not
material; they are fast becoming understood by
the people, and the day is approaching when
the receipt of Government patronage will eft
fectually destroy all the influence ofthose press
es which enjoy it. The press of the country,
we are happy to say declines to follow the lead
of the purchased organs in the principal cities
as we trust it ever will when required to sac
rifce the interests of the people to the ambition
of the President. The Grand Rapids Enquirer
gives the Free Press, on this subject a few
hints as honorable to itself as Justly deserved by
the latter. We trust the people of that region
will see the propriety disappearing an indepen-
dent press in the midst, in preference to Deepen
ding on one bound by the condition of its be-
ing, to uphold the Administration.
But,-with regard to the intimation that wing
counsels are to prevail in the proposed Conven-
tion-we have yet to learn that any difference
of opinion exists between the wing and Demo-
cratic parties in reference to the duty of Con-
gress TO make appropriations for the improve
ment of our harbors and rivers. Such has not
been the supposed fact heretofore certainly
not before election,-and we are lothe to believe
that our present and previous unanimity is to be
disturbed. But if the fiat has gone forth that
the Democratic party is hereafter to inscrbe
opposition to all improvement by the General
Government, on its banners, we are glad to be
appraised of it even now. We opposed McClel-
land on the ground that he was an inefficient la
borer in this very cause, not that he was UNI
willing; who would have supported him had
they supposed that he was not only inefficient
but opposed! Yet heis bound to carry out the
doctrines of his party, and there can be no doubt
that his allegiance is proof against every test.
We apprehend that despite all the warning and
exhortation of the s'belf' presses in the States
interested, the Convention will be held; public
opinion will be concentrated; the wants of the
country will be presented to Congress; and
Justice will be extorted from a reluctant Ad-
ministration or cheerfully yielded by one put
in power for that express purpose.
