1 The rumor that Gen. Kearney had
ordered an election of Territorial
Legislature and Delegate to Congress
in New Mexico, in execution of his
] promise that the citizens Of that State
should soon be admitted 10 full privileges
Of citizenship, wants confrmalion-but
the story is told with great minuteness
as to dates, names, and other circum-
stances. The Union does not notice
this report; but it gives leterrecently
received from Lieut.. Gilman showing
that the forlifcaioDs Of Santa Fe would
soon be completed, and that it was Gen.
Kearney's intention TO march for Cali
fornia on the, 20lhi September. The
Union does not give US the date Of
ILicul. Gilman's letter; but the date
|of the letter giving the particulars Of the
new proclamation Of Gen Kearney is
ESept. 18th and is perhaps the latest re-
Eceiyed. '
I'VE. received through the Western
Epapers rumor that Gen. Kearney had
taken Santa Fe some ten days before
1.-The official advices reached US. 1t may
I3be true, therefore, that Gen. ,Kearney
Ehas. organized. a Territorial government
Elm New Mexico. .: .
Commodore Sloat has arrived it
Seems, at Havana, by way Of Panama,
accompanied BY five or six of his
Eoaicers, having left Gonr. Stockton in

By tHs arrival at Philadelphia from
Havana we learnithat Santa Anna aeti.
ally marched d from the:city Of fMe1icoS on
the 2Slh Sept, for, the ',heaire Of war.
From. other sedrces, we learn. thattie
finances Of the Mexican. Government Mt
were SO much Strengthened sliat' they
could make no formidabl 10. preparations
forrhe war. The generosity and. en-.
thusiasm of private citizens, corpora.
tions, &C., had been appealed to, for
subscriptions TO the support of the army,
butithe people had already seen r,feir
contributions so often misappropriated
that they were slow to repeat them. =

The intelligence from; Monterey has
relieved the public mind, and indeed
the government, from deep anxiety.
General Taylor, has no doubt, before
him, glorious and successful career.
Nothing can now shake the confidence
OF the army in his skillul oonducs. He
has proably commenced his march be-
fore this time, towards Saltillo-wheEe
he may have more laureIs TO win. 1t
no longer appears likely, ,,lhst he will
have the the aid of General Wool or oi
Con. Kearney., If General Wool lis
1 going with his whole force TO Chihuahua,
: as is now stated, it will be impossible
for him to join Taylor, during the pres
ent. campaign.a,i.The battle Of. Saltillc
andSan Luis, will be fought without hi:
aid. = j s.1'I
| The present .campaiga will perhap:
end tie war, though IL may not lead tc
treaty Of peace. Mexico is too much
exhausted and bewildered to continue tc
raise armies, and create, supplies anc

end to the fghmg. !, s,
The Presidentllas determined 10 cal

told'a Senator here, lhe other day, tina
J, he should call Them chiefly from the
Soudf.s So, the South Carolina troop!
will, probably, soon havea a chance.
1t IS presumed ahat,,the object :of'the

There is every reason to believe tia
the talked of attack on the Castle o
