FROM MEXICO.

The New Orleans papers furnish the
following items of intelligence from Mex
leo, received by way of Havana:
The royal mail steamer Thames arrived
in Havana on the 9Th ultimo from Vera
Cruz, with forty passengers and Sl74,000
in specie. Gen. Paroles reached Ha-
vana by this arrival.
The dates from Vera Cruz are down to
the 30th September, not SO late by six
days as the advices brought by the Ew-
ing.
1t was announced in Mexico on the "a.
of Sept. that the first brigade of cavalry
left the capital on the 23d for Monterey,
and that Santa Anna would leave on the
25th. 1t was further announced that he
employed his individual credit TO expe-
dite this movement of troops, which had
been delayed for want of funds.
The garrison Of the capital would be
composed of such bodies of the National
Guard as had been raised, and it was sup
posed the other brigades would leave the
city on the 25th.
1t is said that Gen. Ampudia has re-
linquished the command Of the army Of
the North.
Gen. Arista arrived in the city Of Mex
leo on the 18th of September to meet the
charges preferred against him in connex-
ion with the actions Of the 8th and 9Th of
May.
According to letter from Mazatlan an
American frigate had arrived there and
captured the Mexican brig Malek Adel,
which was at anchor there disnantled.
Senor Yanez, the commandant of ia
lisco, marched on the 7th September for
Tepic and San Bias with body of troops
for the defence Of those towns in case of
an invasion.
Gen. Nunez Ponte has been appointed
Governor of the State of Tamaulipas.
On the goth of September decree was
promulgated providing that Council of
/ Government should be formed to be COM
posed of thirteen individuals; and that IN
! the absence of the Provisional Executive
head, the President Of the Council should
discharge the Executive functions. This
1 Council was to be installed on the lst ol
/ October.
The Government was adopting the ne
ccssary measures for providing funds TO
meet the national exigencies. Nothing IS
said Of forced loan from the church,
On the 18th ultimo the Minister of Fl
nance consulted with committee Of mer-
chants and capitalists to adjust the terms
of contribution and loan for the use oi
the Government. 4 similar meeting was
held in Vera Cruz on the 23d ultimo. In
neither case are the results OF their de-
j liberations announced.
The cities of San Luis Potosi and
Mexico are designated by the Secretary
of War as the principal dePots for the ex.
lraordinary contingents which several
| States have been ordered TO furnish.

Col. Eremonf.

A correspondent of the Alexandria Ga
zette, who dates his letter Oh board the
~. S. frigate Savannah, Monterey,
(California) July 90 says:
"Col. Fremont's party arrived here
Yesterday, having had some pretty hard
fighting with the Mexicans and Indians.
They number about 20O, and are the most
daring and hardy set OF fellows ever look
ed upon. They are splendid marksmen,
and can plant bulleti in an enemy's head
with their horses at a full gallop. They
never think Of eating bread, but live upon
meat all the time. They never sleep in
a house, but on the ground, with a blank
ct around them-their saddle for pillow,
and rifle by..their side. should like TO
give some more minute account OF them,
but time will not admit.

Progress of the War.

A large portion Of our paper is occu
MED with intelligence in regard TO the
progress of the war, some of which viii
found highly interesting, though nothing
Of great moment appears to have trans
pired since the capture of Monterey.
Though Gen. Taylor, with his gallant
army, has achieved one glorious victory
after another and driven the enemy before
him wherever he has met him, the war,
iudging from present indications, has but
fairly commenced; and when it will end,
God only knows. Already has ii cost
the nation upwards of hundred millions
of dollars and many valuable lives, and
vet no substantial advantages have been
gained. Our armies are in the heart of
the enemy's country, having fought their
way thither against superior numbers,
and still Mexico appears bent upon resis-
tance. as obstinately as ever. Gen. Tay-
lor's force has been greatly reduced by
sickness and the sanguinary conflicts at
Palo Alto. Resaca de la Palma and Mon
terev, and yet we hear nothing of PrePa-
rations being made by the Administration
TO supply the deficiency. He has been
ordered even to advance from his present
position; but as that order was issued be-
fore the events which have transpired at
Monterey were known at Washington,
it is probable that is has since been coun-
termanded.
What steps the Administration proPo-
ses TO take next, is not known to the pub
lie. Will ii reinforce Gen. Taylor im-
mediately, and by so doing enable him 10
plant the American Eagle upon the walls
of the City of Mexico? or will ii be con-
tent to let him remain where he IS until
the meeting of Congress and then ask for
new appropriation to carry on the war
We incline to think it will pursue the lat
ter course. We Judge so from the TACT,
that the war has already cost much more
than the Administration evidently had
counted upon, and that the Mexicans, in
stead of submitting after getting several
good drnbbings, are at this time as much
intent upon resistance as they were al
first. if not more so. We wait with
much interest for the development OF
the Administration future plans in regard
10 this war.

Our opponents endeagor to account IN
various ways for their recent discontinue
in this State, but studiously avoid touch
inc upon the true causes thereof. 1t is
an indisputable fact, that large portion,
If not a majority of their party, agree
fully and entirely with the Wings in their
sentiments on the subject of protective
duties. Ii is fact also, that only for the
gross deception practiced upon them by
their leaders, that portion of the Demo-
cratic party would not have voted for
James K. Polk. And it is further fact,
that pending the Tariff question in the
United States Senate at the late session
Of Congress, the Democracy of Berks,
Schuylklll, &C., demonstrated in the
strongest terms against any alteration OF
the Tariff of 1912. The same feeling
that pervaded those counties, prevailed
throughout the State-and when those
who had aided in the election of AIr.
Polk found that they had been deceived
and saw their best and dearest interests
sacrificed, it was but natural that they
should turn upon their betrayers and visit
them with just and meriteJ rebuke.-
They did so. They joined in with the
Wings and aided them in accomplishing
one of the greatest political revolutions
upon record-and had it not been for the
..RAI,," the discontinue Of the Polkmen
would have been still more disastrous
than il is. Henceforih there will be but
two parties in Pennsylvania-the Wing
TARIFF PARTY and the Locofoco FREE
Trade PARTY.

4 Word on Political Orgaaiza-
tiGn.

As stated in our last number, the Wing
and Antimasonic party in Somerset coun-
" is entirely without organization, and
we call their attention to the subject again
at this time, while the political elements
are calm. in order that the defect may be
speedily remedied. Though our oPpo-
nents did not succeed at the late election
in electing any of their candidates, yet a
number of our own men were disappoini-
ed. and in some instances the contest was
chiefly amongst themselves. We achiev-
cd avictory, II is true, but ii was too dear
" bought, and our own determination is,
50 Ear as our influence may extend, to
guard against similar occurrences in fu-
ture.
We want an efficient County Commit
tee in the first place, next committees OF
rigilence in every election district, and
then regularly formed delegate county
ticket. In this way, and in this way
alone. can we effect a thorough organiza-
ton of the party-and after that shall
have been accomplished, if there be any
who will raise or encourage opposition
let them be treated as deserters and turned
over TO the enemy.

the annexed extracts

of Africa, near the Cape de Verde Is

Africa, passing by the Colony of Liberia,
about 4 weeks, when we struck the n.

and safely into this harbor. We had 3
days of storm; and no person but those

grand and sublime appearance of the

it nobly: one moment on the pinnacle of

black-fsh, and some few whales. The

thousands at time, like flock of feed

More Help TO Eree Trade.

The further advance Of flour IN Eng
land will no doubt be used by the Loco
focos TO show how well the NEW AMERI-
CAN TARIFF WORKS. The effect here has
been TO advance the prices rs cents per
barrel; but we would state that another
advance of 10 cents is yet to be made
before it gets up 10 the price in December
I845, (S7) under the Tariff of 1872
When the price gets over 81, then the
Locofocos can talk of the rise with more
decency than they can now, when the
Tariff of '42 price is larger than the
price under the law of 46.-(New fork

In some 80 counties Leard from, Yoke,
the Wing candidate for Governor, is con-

Wing gain already of 1900 upon the
last vote for Governor, when the Locolo-
co majority in the State was 10000. In

5000. but the river counties are Whig all
