familiar with the precedents OF just such policy But
both the people and the government of the United
States have studied the theory OF international re-
lations in very different school, Here, in the New
World, it does so happen that we sometimes wage
to secure indemnity and justice and pennan-
ent peace. With this view, we think il not unrea-
sonabe sometimes to appropriate either two or three
millions of dollars to facilitate the negotiation of
treaty which shall accomplish these objects And even
the comparative weakness of our enemy, while it puts
her in power by disinclines to enter al
every fit opportunity upon such negotiations 1t is really
to be hoped, that the Tmess farther study of American
policy in this respect will convince that journal, that
such policy sno upon the whole, quite unwise and
unreasonable as it seems to imagine.

The Democracy throughout the country watching
with the deepest interest the movements OF the Demo
cratic party in the Ola Dominion. The importance OF a
complete Democratic triumph in the coming congressional
election in that State cannot be over-estmated We
oice to perceive the indications of enthusiasm and har
mony exhibited there the part of the friends of the Adj
minstraton and OF the Democratic cause Upon Vir-
GINA in small measure must depend the political COM
plexion Of the House of Representatives in the next Con-
gress Besides this, the of Mr. Cal
houn and his friends in South Carolina looking as they
do directly TO the Reorganization and consequent defeat
of the Democratic party of the country and the cleo
ton of President by coalition of factions in the
House of Representatives render especially and meal
cuaby important at the present uncture that the Democ-
racy of Virginia should rally trumphaRty in defence of
the best interests of the Union.

cratic convention assembled TO nominate candidate for

From the N. O. Courier, March Il
Important from the Army-Mexicans defeated

Army--Neheans defeated
The following is an extract OF letter written By Cam
Grayson assistant commssary general, TO his family
whom ii has been kindly communicated TO us
"TAsmIco, Maphj
General Taylor has had another battle nj night eghp
leagues beyond Salino and killed four hundred NeI
his loss being very small This information Is positive"
This letter, TO which an undue importance has been
given in of the New Orleans papers, is thus Grill
cay, and we think conelusively, analyzed by the 'Bp
letin:"
From the N. o. Bulletin, March 10
We yesterday had an arrival from Tampico, with date,
to 18th instant giving reports OF victory obtained over
Santa Anna by General Taylor letter from Captain
Grayson, OF the army, dated the 5th says il nigh
attack, and that the Mexico loss 400. No dates t
given, the channel by which the information was re-
ceved but we presume il must have been through Mex
leans We are sorry TO say that we do not think The
reports that existed AT Tampco be depended upon
cradle weight to the truth of them Our previous advice,
from Camargo to the 4th, and any battle that had
been fought at date that would have admitted of if,
being known on the 9th at Tampico, would, we should
think have reached Camargo on the 4th the latter place
being not only much nearer, but also the intermediate
distance not exclusively occupied by the enemy as be.
tween Sato and Tampco
The location of the battle, IS leagues in advance Of;
Salhllo, is also evident error General Tayors po
sition not one-thrd that distance, and from The
opinions expressed by officers most recently from thence
General I. would not fight general battle al hi,
present position, but would if Santa Anna advanced in
greatly superior force, fall back on Saltlo where he
could give battle much more advantageous terms
That a battle has been fought there can be no doubt as
everything that have previously heard from Camago
and Monterey, render such an event inevitable, and by
the present arrival information has been received from
the city of Mexico, to 27h, with the official dispatches
of Santa Anna announcing his intention TO attack the
American army but do not believe that the news Of
this battle, will first reach by the way of Tampico Or
that whenever it does take place, that the Mexican loss
will be only 4OO---it will not count by hundreds
The delay in the arrival of information may in some
degree be attributed to the scarcity of vessels at the
BraZos and the Rio Grande almost everything that
oaed had been taken up, to carry troops and stores
Tamplco and Lobos-and there are SO many Mexican
marauders prowng the country, that il would be
difficult to send special messengers from Camago 10
Maamoros and escorts could not be spared for the pu
pose The next As hours however, can hardly think
will roll without definite and exciting intelligence
and most probably in much less time.
