The southern mail which arrived at Baltimore
yesterday contains netting later from the army
of occupation
The only additional news to that which we
gave yesterday from Mexico, brought by the
steam frigate Mississippi, is that the attack upon
Alvarado will be renewed Immediately upon the
arrival of the Vixen Ii is said to be the intention
OF Com. Conner to take Santa Anna prisoner,
should the latter make his appearance anywhere
near the American fleet.
The Mexican papers received by the Mississip
pi seem to be com posed of a most extraordinary
compound of philosophic realities and theoretic
extravagancies-more especially the Locomotor,
of Vera Cruz. That journal, in comparing the
condition of the two countries, in social, moral,
and political point of view, gives to this govern
ment decided choice. The editor acknowledges
that the eyes of the masses OF Europe are turned
upon the United States, in preference to Mexico,
from the fact that we hold out greater benefits
to foreigners, in the way of freedom of religion,
protection of property, and the rights and immu-
mites, and easy accessibility of citizenship. He
states that although the rulers OF Europe watch
with jealous eye the rapid progress Of the Uni
ted States to greatness, they would be content to
see consummated the annexation of Mexico to
this country to facilitate an increase in the COM
merce and traffic of the different monarchcal pow
ers. Yet, after acknowledging all these facts, and
tacty admitting that it would be beneficial to the
interests of Mexico and her people, to be annexed
to this Union-this philosophical editor calls up
on his countrymen, and even appeals to the SYM
pathies of the foreign powers, to rally around the
Mexican eagle, and scatter to the winds the PIN
ions of the "eage of the north" This is singu-
lar language from an equally singular people;
who, while admitting that they far be-
hind the age regards all the distinctions
of pure morality, and political and social Or
ganization, content to struggle in
their own benighted country, without desir-
ing even a glimmer of the sunshine of pros
perity and happiness. They would still wish to
toll on in ignorance and Misunderstanding but for
themselves, and caring Tor none other.
A number of travellers arrived at st. Louis
Sunday last, from Santa Fe. They state that Gen.
Kearney probably arrived at the latter place about
the I'D inst. 1t was not supposed that any oppo-
sition would be made to the entrance of Gene raj
Wool into Chihuahua, as the inhabitants of that
region were rather predsposed in favor Of the
United States.
The inhabitants of Nauvoo have again been
thrown into state of intense excitement. 1t will
be remembered that person named Carlin went
there few days since for the purpose of making
some arrests, and was Laughed at for his pains"
by the followers of the deceased prophet; where
upon Carlin issued proclamation, calling upon
the order-l loving and peaceaby-disposed citizens
of Hancock county" to assemble en- masse, march
to Nauvoo and bring the Knockers of his authority
to justice, "dead alive.' This proclamation
tended but to add to the determination Of the Nor
mons to resist the entrance into the city of the
"Gentiles," as the ants are called. The ''Saints,'
at the last advices, were represented to be sleep
ing with arms in their hands, ready to make
deadly resistance at moments warning and
the ants were preparing to march upon their ac-
knowledged enemies. So we may expect to hear
of another bloody massacre of these deluded peo-
pie in day or two, as the ants appear bent upon
driving them beyond the borders of the Misss-
sippi, at all hazards and at whatever cost.
Nothing occurred at Baltimore yesterday of
local character worthy of being transmitted by
