"OUR MEXICAN RELATIONS"

The notice in our last of an engagement near the
city of Mexico, between the force 6OOoa7oOO) under
Gen. Scott, and Mexicans, (32,0O0) under Santa

By The foregoing Statement, It VIII be seen that
the Crop is 32 $50 bales less than last year, and
6l5 S52 less than the year before
Our estimate of the quantity taken for consumption

Cotton manufactured in the States South and West
of Virginia.
The quantity of new Cotton received at the Ship

against about 200 bales last year.

Quoted one half per cent. for much added 10 the
amount of sales RENTED in check 10 the farmer for
value Of exchange against Richmond; or, in palmer
and trucr words, because of the low market value of
the notes of the Virginia banks. This deduction from
Ia cts leaves the nett amount of all expenses
(omitting frcght) precisely three quarters of one
cent. per buShcl; and the proportion of cxpcn-
for wheat at 81 then stands as ID cents to of

After the vessel had sailed Con the 9th the owner
of the wheat received Con the lOth) offer for the
cargo, through his commission merchants in Rich
mond, of S 30 per bushel, at months, which was
cents more than had been reported in the prices
current OF the newspapers; and also much higher
than the then actual price, as was stated in the
merchants letter making the offer (dae of 9th in
stant.)
The actual sale made in Baltimore Con August l0,)
was for 80 cash, subject, above only TO the de-
duction OF of cent per bushel, addition of per
cent. as regular matter course having been allow
ed the farmer the nett price in Baltimore, in the
check (or cash, but marked payable in "currcnt
funds,') RENTED TO him, on the Farmers Bank, in
Richmond. IT, then, the calculations be carried out
on the actual nett price received in the case and
what would have been received in the other, the
comparison of expenses and returns will be still
striking.-But, as the then difference of market pri
ces may have been accidental or unusual, will as
sumo equal prices fair grounds for estimate and
comparison suppose that in Richmond, also, sale
might have been then effected at s $50, and then

And if not, why then the assumption of power not jus,Iy be. longing to him
 lt is with sorrow un(eigned, that we fnd i, our duty to record dasposi,ion on the part of some, to persist ia course of con- duo, which every lover of good order. mus, denounce as rash, unjust, and illibeal.
 Most of the readers of the Advocate. can perhaps call to mind notice of the pial and acquitial of Ragsdale, native, for the mur. der of Richard Newland whneman, though citizen of the Nation by intermarriage. Some two or three years since, the deed was per. petraied. Al that time, Newland was Isine in the entire confidence Of our laws. Ths. enjoyment of all the priseleges and imnan- mites. (save that office holding) guaantied to other citizens, was his. Their protection and guardianship he had right to expee. and claim. This so il can no. be otherwise than reasonable, to suppose that he was con- sidered amenahle to them.
 Holding all of the above stated facts in serious consideration, the accused was eilsd to appear before high minded and iu.slli- gent jury. An investigation was had--and after ample deliberaiion verdict, favorable, returned.
 Consequently Ragsdale repaired to his home and family, where he has been leading a quiet and aprigh. life ou his farm. tll re- gently the matter Is again egiialed, (by our white Brethern) an officer with his warrant {for the execution of which we be- 1leve he receives little bullion, and deputies come into the nation, and in an nnsuspeehng moment, the eagles's claw is fast fixed upon the prey.

We believe in every man expiating for his crimes. We wish ever to advocate this doctrine. When a man has once been acquitted, we also be- lieve, particularly in all such cases as above stated, that for more potent neighbor still b hunt him down and misuse him, is an in- jury not to be palliased.

Smithsonian institute.

We find the following in the Washington correspondence of the N. '. Commercial Advertiser:
 s.There was an interesting point made in the Seua,e, 10 day, by Mir. Wescott, of Flo rida, when Mr. Breese moved that the Vice President should be salhorized 10 fiji the ya- cancy existing in the Board of Regents ol the Smithsonian Institute, caused by the death of Senator Penny packer.
 ssMr. Westcott said he would not vote on the question at all, because he believed that the bill authorizing the appointment of these officers by ti.e Senate and House Of Repre- sentatiyes. was an infrartlon of the Consti- tuition. This question has been raised in consequence of the proceedings Of the Board on various matters, and the belief which is entertained that Robert Dale Owea means to convert the institution into an engine for the diffusion of his own and his faiher's infideli- ty and socialism,
 Though we have seen nothing in the ar engagements of the Regents of the Smilbso- nian Institute, that would warrant a suspicion of wish 10 make that establishment snbses- vieps 10 any improper object, yet we have thought thai some would be found to impute such motives, and thus re,ard its useful &C., ton. 1t is to be regretted that the jealousy with which all public institutions In this country, is apt to impari greatness to the vision of those who look most steadily; and very few projects are set abroach, that arc not salaled with reproaches, and bedaabed with unseemly impaia,ions. We know no- thing of the suspicious alluded to. We have had reason to believe thai the Hon. Mir. Owen was laboring to establish scientific ins,iiu,. tion, and the appointment of Mir. Henry would seem io denote the prevalence ol Christian views in the Regents, and desire that, at least, there should be nothing anti, religious in the management Of the Smithso. nian Iustituie. U. s.

From ths N. 0. Delta, 3la uli. Terrible Catastrophe.

4 slip from the office of the Mobile Re- gis,er and Journal, of the 29ih inst, reeei- ved yesterday morning, iuFnishedns with the following melancholy intelligence:
 The steamboat Tuskaloesa Jeff our wharf about 8 o'clock on TbuFsday evening, on her way to Tuskaloosa, and after proceeding about 10 or Il miies up the river. all explo- sion of two rher boilers took place, which instantly killed several of the passengers and many Of the boats crew and officers. From passenger on board, we learn that the ex- plosion completely lore np the boiler deck, and sf altering the after pat of the boat be tow decl;) considerably. Immediately after the explosion, such of the passengers as were uahurl set themselves to alleviating the suf- ferings of those who were injured but moi killed; while at the same time portion oi the saved were making every possible ar tangement to land all on shore who could be found.
 The boat, after the explosion, swung to the shore and grounded, her stern remaining nearly in the centre of the rives line was made fast ashore from the stern, and an ef- fort made io bring her stern ashore SO as to land her passengers, but owing to her groun- ding these efforts were unavailable The la- dics were then lowered from ihe cabin by a rope 10 the lower deck, aud from thence seni ashore in the yawl--all were saved ua- hurt.
 Those of ihe male passengers who were uninjured, saved themselves, and many of the wounded, by constructing temporary rafi of loose blanks. and such articles as were close al hand. On this, they reached the shore in safety. On landing t was feaad na- possible b obtain dry footing. as the banks of the river were oseraowed. In this con- di,ion, shose who were able climbed trees, &c., where they remained in view of the burning ruins for about hours, when forlu- nateiy fhe steamboat James Hewitt hove in sight, an0 was shortly alongside the wreck, when assistance was immediately given to all within reach The Hewiii returned to this city wish all of the sGrrivors.
 The number of killed and wounded has not as yet been asccrsained, but it is feared that of the former there are not less than 20, and Of the latter like number. The body of Ideutsntans inge was on board, and Was ios;.
