THE MEXCAN WAR.

A letter from the Camp at Matamoras
in the New Orleans Delta, under date OF

by seige of large army, treachery, or the

tANALEs ALMOST TAKEN. We learn
that Canales came very near "fallng into
the hands of the phillstne's a few nights
since. Capt McCulloch's company, who
were at Reynosa, received information that
a iandango was to come off about Is miles
from that place, and that Canales was TO
honor the party with his presence. They
repaired TO the vicinity Of the ranchero, and
waited IN the darkne sss for the lion Of the
night TO make his appearance. When ey-
cry thing was under way, The Rangers wal
ked in and politely requested an introduc-
ton TO Monsieur CanaIes. The gentleman
bad not arrived but two of his officers wero
there, and received an invitation to ride
out to Reynoso and pay a visit to col. Will
son. The colonel, we are informed, re.
celVed them very grociously, and insisted
on their becoming his guests until General
Taylor should have time to attend to them.

We doubt no, the editor OF the Ameri-
can has excellent opportunities of becom-
ing acquainted not only with the doings.
but with the purposes and designs of our
party meetings. Nevertheless he does
make mistakes, either from wrong inGor-
nation, or from installing what is told
him. The nomination Of Col. Frank has
not been claimed nor insisted on, and mos,
certainly not by himself, and the strife
was not as to whether he should be chosen
but as 10 the man who has succeeded. -
What is meant by the Telegraph clique we
know not, out certain it is, that those with
whom we voted were defeated by two votes.
not because of our want of strength. bu,
for want OF any concert of action. Blu, al.
lus.ons 10, or explanations of, such attacks
are perhaps useless. Those whose bust
ness 1t is, understand the matter well
nough.

OUR HARBOR.

The River and Harbor Bill was taken
up in the Senate on the Goth. The amend
ments of the committee of commerce were
concurred in by the Senate. This would
send it back TO the House, thus endanger-
ing its passage. On the 21st however, the
Senate reconsdered their action Of the
previous day, and non-concurred in these
amendments, so that il now looks as if the
bill would pass, without doubt.

The Empire says the Niagara headed a.

she ran no race, but only swept round the

APPRoPRIATIoNs-T is not yet the
least manifestation of disposition on the
part of the Senate to take up the appropria-
ton bill. Ii seems to US the course of the
Government; in these matters is certainly
devoid of Policy or any regard for econo-

harbors-appropriatcd considerable money

they do not design 70 leave them to decay

our public works, in an unfinished state, of
course not in condition of defence a.
gainst accidents, and without cent Of mon

accident might make necessary. BY the
time the appropriation is made in the fall, it
is too late to enter into any extensive prep,
arations or business--a good share of the
money is to be expended in repairing the
mischiefoccasioned by delay, and the a p
preparation yields nothing of the benefits it
would provided the money was judiciously
appropriated; the result Of which is that il

anticipating any change for the better, we
can nevertheless most ardently hope that
change of policy in this respect might be
had.

nehc Telegraph having been completed
from Washington TO Buffalo, arrangements
are being made to extend it south west to
the Mississippi river; and also west 10 Chr
cago. The agent states that those routes
will frs: be commenced and hurried on TO
completion, where the citizens show the
greatest liberality and promptness in sub
scribing such portions of stock as may be
necessary. We have not shadow of doubt
that the time is not far distant when we
shall enjoy the advantages Of this mode OF
communicating intelligence. 1t will GER
tainly be completed TO Chicago, and Just as
certainly, we think to Milwaukee,; embra-
cling this, and other lake towns in its route.
AS familiar as the matter has become in
the minds Of all, yet when we turn our at
tention directly 20 the contemplation of the
wonderful operations of this instrument, we
cannot but be lost in wonder, that such
things can be. Suppose few years since
some individual suddenly gifted with the
spirit ofprophecy had predicted these things,
predicted that such in 1S47, would be the
rapidity with which information could be
conveyed TO the sever parts of the country,
that we here in Southport could learn the
doings of our representatives at Washing
Jon the same day the same hour, aye, in
deed, if we soouId note the exact minute,
and refer to our time piece, perhaps, that
intelligence had flown even faster than the
earth in its rapid flight, and had not only
annihiated, but anticipated Time; we say
suppose some person few years since, had
predicted such state Of affairs. Now, we
look upon il as matter Of course, but how
should we have treated the matter them
We need not say, what reception such a
prophet would meet. Now, it is one ofthe
matter of fact things of life, and thing SO
extraordinary scarcely ELECTS second
thought. Ii is certainly one of the mos,
wonderful as it is the most important inven-
lion Of this most inventive. age. In the
great struggle continually progressing, out
of which gradually evolves the elements of

tons of the progress ofsuCcess in the con.
flct, are few. This is one of the results
unerrngly indicating the success of pas,

powerful influence, whilst il quickens the
mind TO all emotions,ln binding US altogeth-

the length and breadth of our land, social

that the Tariff bill will not get through the

larry elected TO carry out. Blu. the tariff

power or much money, which is the same
thing. The people are taxed to enrich
them; and by means Of this taxation, they
are enabled to besiege the Capitol, with
every appliance TO influence members. Let
them go on; they are treasuring up wrath
