NEw YoRK, Sept. 81, 1910.

By the lightning envoy of the telegraph we learn,
this morning, that Gen. Taylor has taken up his
line Of march for Monterey We are also informed
ofa report, apparently we'll founded, that General
Ampuda had reached Monterey in advance Of our
troops, with 1900 men; which would make the
force there, against us, upwards Of 1000 strong
This intelligence, taken in connexion with the latest
declaration of Santa Anna, that "his functions las
President Of the repubIic) will cease when he may
be able to lay at the feet of the national representa-
tives laures plucked on the banks of the Sabine"-
might appear to Indicate determination on both
sides for the active hostlities and yet il does
rot TO have at all disturbed the prevalent e1
pecaton Of settlement, peacefully and soon of tht
existing difficulties.
Ampudia's reinforcement of Monterey is simply
such an act Of precaution any government, even
the Mexican, must take for the protection Of an i'm
portant post, menaced by hostile army; and Santa
Annals grandiose announcement is regarded as sop
thrown to amuse and lui the jealous Cerberus OF
Mexican vanity, bombast, and enmty to the United
States The belief is still strong as ever that the
dispositions manifested by the administration, on
the one hand, for an honorable termination Of the
war, and on the other for the most unhagging pros
ecuon Of it until the moment that negotiation for
peace shall be regularly opened-must speedily
bring refractory neighbor her Senses and In
dcae so that she cannot mistake it, the true course
for the maintenance Of her honor and interests.
The California expedition sailed yesterday about
in the three fine ships chartered for the pur-
pose-the Thomas Fl, Perkins, bearing the pennant
and Colonel Stevenson, the Susan Drew, and Loo
Choo. Notwithstanding the losses by discharges
on habeas corpus, desertions, &c, the regiment was
understood to be full before starting-numberine

PRopUcE.-All last week breadstuhs in this mar
ket have maintained good prices, with decided
upward tendency. Nearly 10000 barrels of -four
have been bought on foreign account Is, 900 having
been shipped for England alone, an unusually heavy
business; of cheese and lard nearly $50 900 pounds
have left market, also for England; ofgran SO,
600 bushels; oil cake 250,00O pounds, and so on.
Here is something to rejoice the farmers heart. OF
course, under such demand, prices have been
steady. At the great forwarding warehouse for all
the west, Buffalo, the markets yesterday as we learn
by telegraph) were very brisk Sales of grain, up
wards of $4,000 bushels at firm prices; -four, all
good brands in demand butter, cheese, and lard are
stiff, (as they ought to be this cool weather,) and
other staples of produce in the same position. And,
unless wrongly read the signs of the times, all our
agricultural staples, especially -four (notwithsand-
ing the unprecedented supply in our ports,) will
command, this fall and winter, prices amply remu-
nerative TO the farmer
Since the FIRE which swept from us Nblo's gar
den, (letving this lively town of ours uncomfort-
able, under a vague sense Of want a bon piran
who had unwittingly foregone his after dinner Ma.
dera cigar) the project of erecting grand opera
house on the ground thus cleared has been revived
least in the newspapers; and statements have even
appeared Of the persons engaged in the enterprise
Of the dimensions and arrangement Of the edfce
and names Of managers, performers &c, have been
insinuated. 1t is now sad however, that the Rev
Cortandt Van Rensselaer, (in whose family the o.
tate is) has put his clerical veto on the erection o
any theatrical cdifce, intending to build insead al
his own expense, church Of magnificent character
For my own part (hough profess to have no pri.
vate or exclusive knowledge on the subject) | shal,
oe mucn Hllstdheh IL all tnese statements 40 not
prove incorrect, and "Niblo's garden'--unchanged
only in the brighter plumage and fresher life, which
beft risen pbnnix-does not, in few months, re-
occupy the cold stand"
The news from Maine continues better. There
will evidently under the absurd election laws which
prevail all over New England-be no choice of gov
ernor by the people. But of the members Of the
legislature, far heard FROM the democrats have
majority on joint ballot Of fve mot counting the
senator's holding over,) which will be increased by
the towns TO come in.
