ever heard Of anything Of the kind, we ask,
before these days Of deception and paIpabls
fraud? What President, with a decent portion
Of self-respect, ever prartised such small ih4
lrigue? It is new in the history Of our coun-
try, and no doubt found its origin and motive
in the desire to deceive some members Of Con-
gressi in the uppOrtOfmeasures which the Exec
tive feared might not otherwise prove success
full. As the great words about Oregon were
followed by the smallest. possible actions and
were intended only to gull honest men, so wac
the course Of the President on the subject Of
improving harbors and rivers favorable, only
with the design Of gaining votes for the new
Tariff bill, the Administrator not having faith
enough to believe that one righteous measure

The PIainest Kind Of talk.

The Ohio Statesman, the Locofoco State pa
per at Columbus, handles Folks Veto on the
River and Harbor bill after a fashion Of which
the following extracts will give some faint
idea:
The Message in which the President supports
his views, is a shallow performance, vulgar in
its language, ridiculous for its false logic, and
paltry as the treatment of a thesis by some
huir-splitting and WITHDRAWING schcOlman Of
the Middle Ages, who thought himself a great
man, because, like all small characters, he had
mistaken cunning for wisdom. 1t is, howev-
er, quite worthy the man whose imbecility has
been SO u%nhappily displayed in his action on
the Oregon questiOn-Arst uttering boasts oil
the loudest kind, and then sneaking off to Gov
er when the enemy's bay was family heard in
the distance. There is a remarkable similarity
in the Presidents conduct on these two sub
iects. AS he mouthed and raved about oui
"clear and unquestionable" righttO the whole
Of Oregon, like unto one of Nat Lees Bedla'
mite heroes-for we can only call 1t mounting
and raving, when the 6athOs Of the treaty II
known to US, however much it pleased us a
the time Of its utterance, because we believed
It TO DO the warm language Of earnestness and
sincerity-so has he vetoed a bill substantially
recommended by himself, through the resort o
the Secretary of War, a high officer Of his Cabi
met. Il is true that the defence has been Sc
up for him, that the Secretary, though report
ing through the President, really reports to con
arees. Granted-but this does not in the slight
est degree alter the case. 1t has always beef
considered-at least it was in those days whel
il was thought that some degree of p%roioun'
craftsmanship was necessary in covering a grea
nation-that a cabinet should support one uni
form policy, as speaking the sentiments Of tn
party whose principles il was appointed to al

Earthquake

The Boston Transcript Of Tuesday
says:-At exactly three minutes before
five o'clock this morning, the shock Of an
earthquake was sensibly felt in all parts
Of our city, accompanied by rumblng
sound resembling that caused by the pass
sage Of a train of railroad cars across a
short bridge. The shock was so severs
as to shake houses, and even the furniture
inside of them, and we have heard Of
several persons having been awakened by
the shaking of their beds. This shock
seems to have extended i'll almost every
direction, and we hear OF It's having been
felt IN almost every place within 80 or
so miles of us. At Jamaica Plains,
chimney was shaken down; in WOrees=
ter the door-beIIs Of two houses wers
rung. In Brainree, Dedham. Concord,
and various other places, We hear Of it
being felt.
A smart shock accompanied with much
.remOr and rumbling noise ten or fifteen
minutes in duration, was felt in Newbu
ryport this morning at precisely o'clock.
The Boston Traveller says awe
have heard from Cambridge, Newtont
Lynn, Nahant, Salem, Beverly, Westbo-
rO' and Worcester, and in these places
the houses were shaken, windows Ssnd
doors ratified, bells were rung, and the
slumbering were walked up. The yibra<
tions do not appear to have been preceded
or attended by that rumblirg sound when
usually accompanies earthquakes. Inc

there were two or three successive Shocks

The Santa Fe Expedition.

The St. Louis papers Of the 2Ist inst.
contain some accounts from Gen. kEAR-
Ngy's command. Gen. K was advsn-
eng steadily on his route 70 Santa Fe.
He marched from Bent's Fort on the lst
Instant, with several companies Of United
States Dragons, the Ist regiment of Mis-
souri, volunteers, under Colonel Donl
Dhan, and the battalion of volunteer ar
iillerv, under Major Clark. The troops
were all in excellent health and spirits.
4 general stampede had taken place a.
m0rr the horses. by which some fifty Of
them ,chioAy belonging to the volunteers
were lost. and It was feared would not
be recovered. Capt. Moore, Of the Ora
goons, had captured three spies. who had
been sent out from Santa Fe to ascer-
tain the character, extent, &c. Of the O.
ni,ed States force. After their capture
and their purpose was ascertained, by the
orders Of Gen Kearney they were shown
all over the army. aud, after they had seen
every thing, they were dismissed and per-
mitted 20 return to Santa Ee.
From these men, and also from other
sources. It had been asceuained satisiac-
to-ilv that there would be no resistance
made to General Kearney's taxing pos
session Of Santa Fe. In fact, it is said
that the Nexicans were anXiously await
irg the arrival of the army, believing that
i would furnish them q harvest in the
way trade. and protection from the troub-
Iesome Indians in their vicinity. There
were no troops at Santa Fe. nor in the
upper provinces, and none were expected.
Governor ArmVo had ISSUED Proclama-
ton. in which he states that the existing
hostilities between the United States and
Mexico VIII not interrupt the trade be
tween the United States and Santa Fe;
that, IN all respects, It shall be conducted
as if the war did not exist.
It is said that Gen. Kearney VIII stop
at Santa Fe until Col. Prices regiment
arrives there. That, upon their arrival,
that regiment, or 4 portion Of 1t, viii be
left TO occupy Santa Fe, and other I'M
portant points in the vicinity, and Gen.
Kearuev. with the residue Of the force,
will proceed Immediately to California.

NEWS FROM SANTAFE.
INpEPENpENcE. Augusf BE-. Is46.

INDEPENDENCE. August l3, 1916.
We are in possession to-day of further
news from the prairies. Our townsman,
Mr.. Samuel Rallston. has Just returned
from Santa Fe, after an unprecedented
trip of eighty DAYS. He, in company
with Messrs. Weick, BIumuer and others,

aud Mr.. Hutchison and John McKnight,
from Chihuahua started in, and are DOW
here, in thirty-seven DAYS from Santa re.
Previously TO Mr. RaIlstcn's departure
there was a good deal of excitement crea-
ted by the numerous reports II clrcuiation
respecting our troops. Expresses have
been sent out in every direction by the
Governor and private citizens, to Ascertain
their truth, but many of them. after being
out two or three davs, returned, having

From the \. Y. Herald.
Highly Important from HaVan-
na and Mexico.

The Departure of Santa Anna for Vera
Cruz-Another Revolution in Mexico
The Preparation to carry on the
War with the United Sta'es-Mexican
Letters Of Marque granted, &c.
The packet ship Adelaide, Capt. Adams,
arrived here yesterday from Havana.
whence she sailed on the 9th inst.
We have received by her full files Of
the Faro Industrial. and the Diario de Ia
Habana to the 9th, and FL Republican,,
the Vera Cruz Indicator, and FL Monitor
Republican, of Mexico to the lst inst.
The news thus received IS of a highly
important character.
The English Mail steamer had arrived
at Havana from Vera Cruz.
She brought Intelligence of a revolution
in Mexico in favor of Santa Anna.
Soon after the arrival of the steamer,
Generals Santa Anna. Almonte, and ReJou
left Havana in the British steamer Arab,
chartered for that purpose, to take them
to Vera Cruz, and they are now probably
at the latter place.
1t appears that the CITY OF Mexico and
the city of Vera Cruz had both declared
for Santa Anna.
The Indicator of Vera Cruz, of 3lst
July, states that that city had pronounced
in favor of the plan of Guadalajara, with
some additions, that Generals I.andero
and Perez led the movement; the troops
of the fortress OF San Juan d'Ulloa, also
adhered to the plan. The likeness oI
General Santa Anna was carried through
the streets, causing great enthusiasm and
rejoicing.
The Ell Republican, has several col
umns of individual voluntary subscrip-
tions, to aid in carrying on the war with
the United States.
General Paredes was to leave the city
Of Mexico on the 10Th July, to take com
mand of the troops on the frontier.
1t is rumored in the city Of Mexico
that the different heads of the depart
ments, especially that of the Minister o
War, are changing the clerks or secreta
ries of their respective departments every
two or three days.
The remuneration of the present secre
taries Of the different Departments is nov
admitted, and they viii leave their post
as soon as President PsretIes delivers th
views Of Government TO Gen. Bravo.

Then follows the Adlutants letter; and
in this we beg the readers particular al
tention to what is repeated as the conver-
sation Of Gen. Taylor:
sin the morning we found Gen.
Twigg's wagon waiting for US. and, hay-
ing donned our best military harness to
call on the General-in-chief, we enjoyed
General Twigg's capital breakfast, and
thence proceeded to. General Taylor's
camp. The regular army is miserably
supplied with tents. Some companies
have not rag to protect them from the
weather. We approached one of the
shabbiest we saw, and were told that was
General Taylor's. The old gentlemen
was sitting outside, under a scrub of a
tree, Oil block bench, conversing with
Major Monroe and the Qurtermaster of
the post. He received US politely. but
without the least ceremony or fuss, and
fell straight to talking. Now, although
the General-in-chief does not possess
very remarkable colloquial powers, it was
pleasant to hear him. He seemed to
have no secrets; talked Of his plans and
prospects: said we should all 90 ahead
very soon; he was moving the regulars TO
Camargo; the volunteers should follow;
should go himself in two DAYS; wanted to
end the war speedily; spoke of the made
quacy of the transportation to his force;
said we should whip the enemy every
where we met him; the difficulty was, he
was afraid we couldn't find him; !;
though if he could get TO Luis Potosi, he
he could end the war; did'nt.know wheth-
er he could 90 so far; he had yet to ex-
plore the country. and learn its capabili-
ty for feeding an army: that an army could
only march certain distance from the
water communication affording it supplies,
thought that Vera Cruz and Tampico
were the points of attack &c that the only
prospect of terminating the war without
the compulsory process of whipping the
Mexicans was through the mediation of
France or England
Now. what does the plain-spoken,
straitforward old soldier really say >
That he means to advance, and wants to
end the war; that his means of transporta-
ton were bad; that we should whip the
enemv-if we could find him; that he'd
end the war-if he could get to San Luis
PotosI; that he didn't know if he could;
that he was stanger in the country; that
he couldn't 90 far from the stream fur
nishing his supplies; that Vera Cruz and
Tampico were the points TO attack; mot
Monterrey and that if We didn't whip"
Mexico, we should have to make peace
with her!
Such Is the encouraging prospect put
forth by the Government organ to justify
the disregard of Gen. SCOTS counsel, and
the Executive imPatience at his not
marching against Mexico before an army
could be got ready.
