On the 22d ultimo Santa Anna commen.

person against General Taylor.
The cannonading was long continued and
with the most deadly effect on both sides.
In tho first despatch the information
communicated was, that reports had just
reached the city from Washington that
MIR. Buchanan had received dispatches at
the State Department, that the Castle San
Juan de Ulloa had surrendered to the Army
and Navy Of the United States.

PHLADELrrA, April 2, 10o'clk,A. M.
The news just received, corroborates the
accounts given to our readers on day be.
fore yesterday, and establishes beyone
doubt the fact, that great victory over ar
immense host of the boastlul Mexicans hac
been achieved. Y

been tclegraphed to this place, all appre.

counts, safe in Monterey. Ali communi.
cation with Camargo was cut off by the
Mexicans.
Alter the battle at Saltllo, the Mexi-
cans were permitted to return and bury
their dead.
1t is but proper to add that the dispatches
received at Washington are not official, but
every reliance may be placed in them. 1t
is supposed that Taylor's communications
to the Department at Washington, giving
a detailed account Of his operations, were
intercepted by the enemy.
Santa Anna has sent a communication
to the Mexican Congress in favor ofpeace,
SO we are informed. He confesses that
his loss at Buena Vista amounted 10 about
5000. The remainder ofhis army is in q
deplorable condition of starvation. Five
thousand Of his troops have deserted.
Coloncls Curtis and Gregg, with the
Ohio and Virginia volunteers, and Hunters
U. S. Dragons, it was reported, had dc.
leated the Mexicans under Gen. Urrea.
Capt Lowel, who, on account of i'll
health, had been relieved from the com
mand Of Fort Brown, had returned home
The North Carolina, Virginia and Mas.
sachusetts volunteers had arrived at the
Brazos.
1t is said that Santa Anna is in full re
treat again upon San Louis Potosi.
Midshipman Rodgers has been rescued

THE undersigned, believing it to be for the
welfare and better organization of the Dem
ocrstlc party, is desirious publishing paper
in the above named place, which in politics
will be thoroughly Democratic; while at the
same time much other interesting matter will
appear in it. 1t will be published every week
and as far as possible contain the latest in
lelligence.
In taking the responsibility of publishing a
paper practice has made it necessary to give
an avowal of the principles by which it will
be governed, and in so doing, it is deemed suf
ficient when we say it will be devoted to
principles which guarantee to every man,
equal protection, equal privileges and uni
versal liberty,-holdng the doctrine that all
men are alike worthy of protection, so long as
the doctrine of freedom and equality are pro-
fessed to be the governing principles of our
happy land--without distinction between rich
or poor Believing such were not the gov
ernng principles of the majority in our State
Legislature last winter, we shall be found bat
tleing against all such men and measures.
1t is the intention of the editor to be per,
feetly free and uncontrolled by any man or
set of men; and always willing to receive the
counsel of such as are desrous of promoting
the good cause for which it is published to
as the advice of many Is more like
ly to be correct than the few.
The full desire being, to print sheet truly
and wholly Democrattc, we not only take our
own opinion, but also the opinions of the H.
