Our CONSUL AT HAvANA.--It will be remembered that
when the of Paroles arrived here several presses,
and ourselves the number, censured Mr.. Campbell,
our consul at Havana for not having sent person
the steamer with Paredes that the authorities at Vera
Cruz might be informed of his arrival at the earliest posi-
BILE moment We have received from Havana the follow
ing letter. defending Mr. Campbell and in justice to him
publish it:
HAVANA, Sept. Is, 1917.
some excitement New Orleans in relation the landing
of Paroles in Vera Cruz, and disposition to attach some
the American consul for having taken such
steps would have acquainted Gov Wilson with the fact
of his Paredes) being on board the British
1t generally understood in this city, that the consul had
taken the necessary Steps; that he Gov Wilson,
and also the collector of Vera Cruz and fearing the land
ing of Paroles might be effected before letters could reach
those gentlemen through the post office, he sought
other mode OF sending his communications. This was
offered by Mr. A. H. Carpenter, who had been attached to
the quartermasters department OF Vera Cruz, and who
stated that he had acquaintance board the steamer
who would take charge of the letters and deliver them
the first visit of the boat from the customhouse This was
all appearance the best mode which could be selected
unless special agent employed iof the purpose OF de-
livery, and have idea that any agent could have been
engaged for less than from five TO SIX hundred dollars
and would the United States government have sane ton
cd such expenditure for purpose apparently so useless
For Paroles well known in Vera Cruz, and it would
have been deemed probable that he who was known to
could have euaed the vigilance OF our officers and
Mexico is worthy of consideration. You will readily
ceve perusng the above that blame be attached
to consul in the affair.

PRESIDENTIAL.

The Philadelphia Enquirer contains the proceedings of the whigs of Spruce ward, at which Gen. TAYLOR was nominated for the Presidency.
 That paper displays the name of Zachary Taylor ss she candidate fer the Presidency.
 The New York Evening Mirror, which reflects its own imagine if not that of the whigs of the city of N. Y ork, also displays the name of Gen. Taylor for President
 To all which we add piece of informa- tiqR furnished by the N. Y. Globe:
 ssGeneral Taylor, every where successful abroad, has met with sad calamity at home The Courier and Enquirer has cone out in favor of him for President! Old Rough and Ready had better surrender now.'
 The whig mayorali.y convention held yes terday in this city, passed no other resolu- tions than those relating to suar aud ike Pye- sideney; and after awarding no more than just praise to Gen Taylor, for his services in the field. respectfully, bat cordially and earnestly, submit to their whig brethren ihronghout the Republic, whether it's civil desiinies may not safely be committed to the Veteran, who has so lareiy and nobly con- ,ribu,ed to it's defeaee and glory.n
 The brave old General may, therefore, be said literally 10 be in the field. We appre- bend that the acisa glories" of Clay, the ansi-Americsn Senator CoRwiS, or the bril- liant deeds of arms, crowned doubtless ere this by the capture of Vera Cruz, must all 20 into sdnn eclipse' in whig quarters, under the rising star of the victor of Paio Alto, Re- seca de Ia Palma, Monterey, and Baena Vista.
 One feature in this movement, is signiG- cant of the sincerity of modern partyisnr-- whig partyism in particular. Gen Taylor is . slaveholder, and . native and resident of . slave State. We make no objecsion on that score. But it is not little fasa the noisiesl declaimers oa the slavery question, the loud esi champions of tho Wilmot Previsos, who insist that the slsvey question shall be the test of poliiical orthodoxy, and that the Norih mpst sapeort no one noi pledged .o that tel, have performed 90 thorough som srsst so suddenly. Of coarse the 'Islavery" gun iA spiksd h ihsi quarter.

Come gliding aloag from the west; How solemn it falls on the ear, As sadly it sounds from the press: Noble Yells great fsass are all OCT, Now silent he sleeps with the dead His sword glaSes with vengeance no more. Since he for bis country has bled. No more in the halls of the great. Is this valiant patriot seen; No longer the forum of state Shall with his bold eloquence ring. He there. as Statesman should. His votes for our interest cast; He lived for his eountrys good, And died for his country at last. A column will rise OCT his grave, And witness for ages to come Here lies the remains of the brave, Arkansas's uoblest son
 And history win publish his name; Unborn generations will read, Engraved on the tablets of fame. Tn account of his nobiest deeds. Forthwith at his country's cali, inAamed with the hero proves, He leit the congressional hall. And flew to the help of the west. Like fury he entered the field. With spirit intrepid as Mars; And drew forth his gii,,ering steel. To defend the American stars. We mourn his sad fate on that day. When he fell by ghastly wound:-- But rejoice that we're able 10 say, His death day with laurels was crowned And hundreds of soldiers besides, Esteeming the cause just and good. Fought yaliantly on til tkey died. And stained Baena Vista with blood.

From Mexico.


 We understand that the panic diffased among the Mexicans, in the castle, lest they might experience ihe same disastrous fate which had fallen upon the city, principally contributed to it's surrender. An awful pan ic has now spread over the people. The loss of the city and castle, combined with the last victory of less than 1000 men over 10000, st Buena Vista, has spread cons.er- nation over that infatuated nation.
 Gen. Scott had despatched detachment to Alvarado, to collect mules, horses, and beeves. The village of Medellin, ten miles from Vera Cruz, in the direction Of Alyarado, had already been occupied by our troops, had quietly submitted, and met with the most liberal treatment on the part of our troops. The inhabitants of Alvarado will probably, animated by this example, be willing to fur nish their animals for American gold, instead of having them taken from them by forcible contributions.
 Two days after Col. Toaen left Vera Cruz, the general expected to send on hts advance towards the capital. He will push nn 10 that point, as soon as he obtains the necessary transportation, and as rapidly as he can. He leaves no hostile foe behind him. No very Formidable opposition is expected at Puenie Nacionale. National Bridge. 90 miles from Vera Cruz, ,)nor even Jaiapa, (6S miles The General will push on to the healthy table land between the bridge and Jalzpa; thence, we presume, unless unexpected obstacles oc- cur, to the capital. It was said that Gen. Vega had two or three thousand cavalry with him, on the road to Mexico.
 One problem is, will there be any govern ment at Mexico capable of making peace; for, as the condition of things now stands at Mexico, there may be greater difficulty in finding an executive 10 treat for peace than for them to carry on war. It was reported at the last accounts that Santa Aaua was ad- vancing to the capital There is no absolute certainty of this. According to the last ac- counts received at Vera Cruz the city was distracted by contendiug hc,isns. There were every day broils and bloody fights in the streets, in what was vulgarly called '.the wives war" This is contest of the clergy for the exemption of their property, in which they had con,rived to engage the wives of the capital, and through them the husbands, in their behalf It is difficult to understand in this hurly-burly civil war who constitutes the government, or whether they have any.
