Notice to Dealers in
TURPENTINE u TAR.

WILMINGTON June l, lS47.
THE undersigned, purchasers and dealers in
Naval Stores in this place, with view to adopt
some general regulations which seem to them to
be founded in Justice, and more in accordance
with the customs of other markets, have agreed to
establish for their future government, the follow
ing
REGULATIONS.
That as no good reason is apparent to them for
changing the size and weight of barrels of Tur-
pentine, and it would perhaps be productive of in
convenience to the makers, it will be purchased as
heretofore the gross weight ofthe barrel to be $50
lbs. 26O lbs nett the turpentine to be delivered
on the yard for inspection at the expense of the sell
Ter; and as there has been in many cases. an unjust
inequality, in fixing upou the amount of Extra,
and whereas the law prescrbes what the order of
turpentne shall be, when exposed for sale, with
out prescribing any remedy in case it is not in
said order, we therefore agree that hereafter de-
duction shall be made under the denomination of
extra cooperage as follows; For scutting packing
&C., one cent per barrel, for the first two hoops
that may be lacking short of twelve prescribed
by law, cent each, and for each hoop less than
ten that may be short, two cents each, also what
other labor may be necessary to put 1t In the or
der the law prescribes to be adjudged by the In
spectors, together with the usual dedutlons for I'M
understandable barrels exceeding the number
taken to pack. Purchases made at the Rel
Road Depot will be subject to deduction
of two cents per bbl. drayage, thereby pla-
cling the sellers per Rail Road on a footing
with those by water. These regulations to apply
to Tar only so far as regards expense of rolling,
draying and inspection. The custom adopted in
reference to the condition of the barrels it is sup
posed must be free from all objection, as turpeR-
tine put up in perfect order will only be subject to
deduction of one cent per Dbl. instead of the for
mer rates of extra.
We also agree that in future we shall refuse
to compromise for fraudulent mixture as hereto
fore, that we deem chips, straw, billets of wood,
limbs, dirt, &C., as fraudulent mixture, and that
shall abide by the strict letter of the law In all
such cases. And whereas it appears that the In
spectors do not consider themselves authorized to
make bills otherwise than as prescribed by law.
that will in all cases, purchase by the Dbl, of
$50 lbs. and allow the Inspector to make his bill as
the law directs $50 lbs. but that there shall be de-
Quoted from the bill one eighth of the amount.

A BATTLE IN NEW MEXICO.

We find in the Louisville Courier Of the ID in
slant letter dated at st. Louis on the evening ol
the 29th ultimo, which announces the receipt OF
an Express from Santa Fe, bringing the tdings Of
another triumph of our arms.
The letter briefly states that the Mexican insur.
rectionists, numbering 1000 men, marched down
on Santa Fe, as was ntmated by our last advces
that they were met by Captain MoRRIs's command
in the valley of the Moro, and totally defeated thai
great number of the enemy were killed and wound
ed, and the rest fled precipitately to the mountains
The action is said to have been most brilliant
one on the part Of our men, and such as to reflect
much credit on their GOODNESS and courage.
The news Of the assassination Of Governor BENT
is fully confirmed. Twenty-Five other Americans
fell at the same time
The writer who communicates the above intel
gence says that want OF time did not permit him
to give any of the particulars the steamer which
was to convey his letter was about to start. We
are the more inclined to give credit to his news
because the st. Louis Republican Of the morning o
the 29th mentions that an express from Santa FL
was daily expected.
Weekly national intelligencer., 1847-04-10


clamor having been raised about the Presidents
contriving SANTA ANNA's return to Mexico, never
was high public iunctonary so tendery dealt with,
SO indulgently spared, as the President has been
in reference to this matteris it not plain that the
Administration and its Editor, who now confess
the diplomacy" ready, in the event of paci-
cation with Mexico to claim the entire credit Of it
for that " diplomacy" in consequence Of which the
Army as well as the Navy, and all the powers of
this Government, have been made instrumental in
overthrowing the existing Government of Mexico
for the purpose of placing SANTA ANNA again at the
head Of the Mexican nation Upon which we
have, for ourselves, remark, by way Of retort Of
the Executive organs aspersons upon this press,
that, if it had afforded the thousandth part as
much "aid and comfort to the enemy that our Ad-
ministration has done by this most extraordinary
piece of diplomacy, followed up, as it was, by the
invasion of Mexico on the grounds proclaimed in
its own Manifesto to the People Of that country, we
could not have mustered ehfrontery enough to hold
up our heads in the presence Of an abused people,
whose blood and treasure have been layshly poured
out on the arid soil of Mexico for the achievement,
of objects SO unworthy of the national arms and
the national character.

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.

Private letters have been received in this city
from Monterey, giving particulars of some occur.
rences AT that place and vicinity during the latter
part Of February, whilst its communications with
our posts on the Rio Grande were cut off by the
enemy. These letters have been SO long on their
way that the most Of their contents have been an.
ticipated. But one or two incidents related Of
which do not recollect to have received previous
information through other channels.
On the oath ultimo Col. ORMsBY, (of the volun-
teer service,) the officer in command at Monterey
received despatch by express from the Lieutenan,
Colonel Of the Second Ohio Regiment, stating that
while on his way to Monterey he was surrounded
by the enemy at Marin, twenty-five miles distant.
Five companies of the Louisville Legion, with two
6eld-pieces were Immediately put in motion, under
command of Major SHEPHERD, which reached
Marin at nine o'clock at night, drove off the enemy
and returned early the next day-having most
promptly and handsomely accomplished the object
of the expedition.
On the same day Col. MORGAN, of the same re-
giment, arrived at Aqua Fria, within twelve miles
of Monterey, where, being attacked by the enemy
in force, he sent for relnforcements by express,
which, having luckily got through, a detachment
was Immediately marched to his assistance, with
whose aid very large force of the enemy was routed
Ii was in this skrmish that Captain GRAHAM, of the
Quartermaster's Department, was killed
The wagon-train which was cut off within few
miles of Marin consisted of one hundred and ten
wagons, which, with their freight, is estimated to
have been Of the value of nearly half million OF
dollars. The escort for this train was composed
of only about twenty-five foot volunteers but they
and the teamsters defended themselves so vigorous
ly that some forty Of their number (hat is, of vo-
lunteers and teamsers) were killed in the encounter.

Certainly no.

Arbitrary and unauthorized as at first glance
apyeais to us the Executive Decree for leyyino
taxes in Mexico, we perfectly aware that it will
receive the countenance and support not only ol
those who but the breath Of the nostrils of the
President, but also of no nconsiderable number OF
persons whose instincts are hattered by the pros
pect Of aggrandizement by any other means than
those slow but sure results of the arts of peace
and stndustry which constitute the true wealth
and glory of nation. Directly in point we have
just met with the following paragraph, which, all
revolving as it cannot but be to every reader of this
paper, involves precisely the same principle as the
Order in Council which has just been officially
promulgated, viz. IN is OURS by CONQUEST ~
"a writer in the Fincastle Democrat recommends
that we selze the situer and gold stored in Me
Catholic Churches of Mexico as an indemnity
for the expenses of the war. He says, There
is more than enough there-it is ours by conquest

"mily or God any service, and it would be reli-
g'ousty right 10 return out Of these treasures the
money which their act has forced our Government
