LATER FROM MExICo.-Later news cons
tradicts the report that Paroles had Ia
ken the head of the army. The fear of
revolution and outbreaks in his absence de
tains him in Mexico. So that after all,
Gen. Scott is not the only man afraid of
exposing his "rear."
There was a slight skirmish, a short
time since, between the crews of the Frig-
gates Potomac and Cumberland, and some
armed Mexicans m the neighborhood of
Vera Cruz. These vessels sent their
boats ashore IL miles north OF Vera Cruz,
for supplies of beef and water As they
were getting off they were attacked by
500 Mexieans who were concealed in the
Chaparrel. The only damage they did
was to hurt one man slightly with a spent
ball which struck him in the shoulder
The stea mer Priceton, which lay within
shot, opened an immediate fire upon the
Chaparrel, had soon silenced their guns,
and drove them from their ambush. The
Mexicans had eight or nine wounded and
three killed.
The Squadron at Vera Cruz is on the
qai Uire for orders to attack St. Juan
D'Uloa, but no directions TO do so had ar
rived on the 18th inst. Rumors, of a pro-
iected land attack, however, were rife.
lis said that Meja, who has now the
command of the Mexican army, has 1000
men at Linares, but that at Monterey
there are but few men and slight defen,

MISSISSIPPI PENITENTIARY.-The in
pectors of the prison have been taking
measures to carry into effect the act of
the last session of the Legislature to
change the labor of the convcts from the
ordinary mechanical pursuits. An engine
of 20 horse power has been purchased, and
with its necessary concomitant, a large
double flue boiler, has been received, and
is being rapidly put in gear. Before the
Legislature meets again The experiment
OF the change of labor will have been so
far tested as to enable that body to judge
OF the policy of the enterprise. In the
mean time the public will not be surprised
if the institution is heavy tax upon the
Treasury. MississiPpian,, :

A Convention for the adoption of a Constitution

sundry queer projects before it, On the 9th of Oc-

Banking, (Ryan is red hot luco) reported an arli-
Gle prohibiting the charlerng of any bank of issue
in the stare, and also prohibiting The people from re-
celvlng or passing "any paper money, bank note
pronssory note, bill, order, check, certificate of de-
poste or other evidence OF debt whatever" issued
by any corporation IN the state under the penalty
of heavy fines and Imprisonment. Corporations or
their agents also prohibited from receiving de-
posltes of money, making discounts, or buying or
selling bills of exchange, under like penalties -

Immediately on the arrival of Capt. Eaton, bear

The armstice entered into between General Tay-

low the enemy as quickly as poss bic. For this
purpose all the volunteers and regulars which can
possibly be spared from garrisoning the posts and
