From the Delta, 29th ult.

From Teraa- The War cgun!-BIOod-
shed on the Frontier, sc.
By the arrival this morning Of the SIM
ship New York, Capt. Phillips, from Gal
weston, we are in receipt Of late and i'm
portant news from the army Of occupation.
From the Galveston Gazette, Ap'l 25.
The steamship Telegraph arrived here
on Thursday evening, bringing accounts to
Tuesday. The only additional Intelligence
is as follows: Just before the Telegraph
sailed, news arrived that Lieut. Porter and
Il detachment of ten men, who had been
sent out on duty not far from Gen. Tay ylor's
encampment, had been fired upon by so
MeXicans, killing Lieut.. P. and three OF his
men The others succeeded in making
their escape aud returning to our camp
Whether the party that made this attack
were soldiers or Iobbers, is uncertain; but
we believe the Mexican officers say the
latter These officers had already said 70
some of ours that every thcket was iufest-
cd with banditli who would kill man for
fifty cents or his blanket, and that the Mex
lean commander could not thlnk Of hold
ing himself accountable Cor any accident
that might happen to detached parties
yenturlng incauuousIy too far from camp.
Gen. Ampudia denies all knowledge OF
the fate or whereabouts of Col. Cross, but,
as the country IN the vicinity where he
disappeared has been thoroughly searched
and no Information OF him obtained, 1t Is
suspected By many that he has been sent a
prisoner to the interior OF Mexico instead
of being murdered.
Impressions as to the probability Of Il
battle are very much divided. 1t seems
highly probable the Mexican army does
not contemplate general attack, inasmuct
as It has allowed favorable opportunities
for making one to 90 unimproyed, and il
the present position and situation Of hi
forces Gen. Taylor is much stronger thar
at any other time since his removal from
Corpus Christi. He has finished mount
ing his heavy artillery, and fortified hi
camp SO completely, SO that an attack iron
the enemy, would doubtless be the mos
welcome event that could happen to ou
army.
The Telegraph carried 200 additiona
troops for the army under G en-. Taylor
She struck on the bar in going in and drift
ed over, without sustaining any injury wor
thy Of note. She is expected here daily
P. S.-New-OrIeans papers Of the 30t
state, on authority Of passengers by tn
New York, that Ampudia had been sue
ceeded in the command by Arista-an
that the Mexican forces had been with
drawn from the limits of Matamoras, be
yOnd the range of Gen. Tayor's guns
Nothing was known of their intentions
but the American officers had no expects
ton OF such good luck as ar attack,

IHE CRoFs.-In consequence of the late
deluglng rains, and the effects Of the hail
last week, many Of the farmers in tins sec
ton are Plonghing up and re-pantng fields
cf corn and cotton. The spring has been
very backward, and these latter disasters
will, in many cases, throw into this month
the labors which should have closed with
the month OF March. The nights and
mornings are still TOO cool to favor the
growth OF cotton, where it has escaped de-
slruclon from the causes mentioned. The
season, thus far, has been very unfaVora-
Die and djscouraging.

The New TARIFF.--Mr. Mckay, from
the Committee on Ways and Means, re-
ported, on the 18th inst, the proposed new
tariff bill 1t differs from The present one
IN two particulars. First, it greatly re-
duces the duties on imports; and second
y 1t abolIshes all specific duties, aud d.
reefs that on articles enumerated, a GER
tam per centage on their value should be
collected, varying from IS to ) per centum.
vi the merits of the bill it IS not our
purpose to speak; we owe it to our readers,
however to give them some idea of It's pro-
mInent features.
Isl. A duty Of rs per cent. ad raL Is
levied on all brandy and other distilled IL
quors.
ID. A duty Of 30 per cent. on nearly
every article manufactured of cotton. wool,
wood, glass, metal Of all kinds, marble,
stone, hair, etc, etc. wines. fruit, sugars,
syrup, etc. etc.
Sd. A duty of 25 per cent. on coarse
manufactures Of wool, silk, worsled, cord
/ age, cotton, lace, buttons, etc.
4th. A duty of 20 per cent. on a great
variety of articles, Commencing with acid,
passing through ale, beer, porter in casks,
touching asaIRlida, barley, beef, and ua-
nanas and beeswax, taking up bitter apples,
barlls, flowers, cotton shirts, ga,nboge, H.
I qaorlce and floor mating, embracing aboIl
800 arllcIes--concIudng with wooden list
ings, and yarn.
9th. A dury Of Is per cent. Oh angora,
mahogany, dragons blood, needles, zinc,
flax, tow, decoctions Of logwooJ, quot cII-
ret,) mamma, marble, etc.
9th. a duty of 10 per cent. on watch
es, nox vonlca, jeweIry, lemon juice,
maps, charts, arsenic, rataus, grease, Enar-
row, soap, raw silk, etc. etc
7th. a duty of > per. cent. on llnts
grInd-stones, paving g-stones, great vatIe
ty OF gums, and raw hides, and skins 0t q.
kinds, shells, saltpetre, etc, elc.
Sth. A great many articles, amon-
which, tea, coffee, aamals Tor breed, seed.
of all kinds, gold, silver, cotton, etc, etc.
are to be admitted free Of duty after Ill,
first day Of December next.
Had we room, we would like % puj.Is:
the whole bill, but we are compelled c,
withhold it, The principle Of the bill
however, as our readers will perceive,
entirely different from that on winch lh'
present tariff IS based. The idea %. d" pro
tec:on" appears 10 be entirely omitted
and the highest duties are laid upna ariI
cles of luxury, which are not, 10 any eX
tent, manufactured in this country
Whether, IS a revenue bill, It viii NEE
+ the expectations Of its trainers, can oni
be determined by time. ~ o. DcLfa,

az The resignation Of GenI WORTH,
of the army, will be heard of with regret
by all acquainted with the character of that
chivarous and gallant officer. This has
been caused by some decision, which he
deems unjust, relative to his rank. A letter
in the Bulletin, detailing the movements of
the army of occupation, relates the follow
ing incident of Gen. W.
On the evening Of the 26th, the gallant
Worth planted the stars and stripes on the
left bank Of the Rio Grande, in front of
Matamoras, from which it has not been
removed. Gen. Tay lor sent Worth TO
communicate with Meja, who refused to
receive the second in command, but sent
his second, Gen. Vega, to receive the
communication from Gen. Worth. Its
substance was, that the u. S. troops had
advanced without hostile intentions to take
possession of the left bank of The Rio
Grande Worth was offended at Meiia's
diScourtesy, and declined giving the letter,
but stated the contents. Gen. Vega open
ed a volumlnOus argument against the
right of Gen. Taylor, TO which Worth re-
piled that he came to state .fdcts, not ar
guments. Gen. Vega said the flag Of the
United States, now flying in his sight, was
offensive to the Mexican pride. Worth
answered, that that was a matter Of taste,
and as it was likely to wave there, he
would soon become familiar with 1t
How long will it remain?' said Vega.
It's tenure IS eternity, SIR, answered
| Worth.
