within prescribed territory, in which Salllo is sit
uated and several other minor towns.
TAKEN SHoRT.-Col. Curtis's march from Camargo
to offer battle to Gen. Urea, says the Matamoras
Flag of the 18th ins appears to have operated pow
erfully upon that General; without rsking a battle,
the gallant Mexican, with his 5000 chosen troops,
call dressed in yellow buckskin, preciptately re-
treated towards Tula Pass.
We had expected better Of Urea and that the gal
liant Sd Ohio boys might have opportunity of dis
unguishing themselves; much desired he should try
their metal.
RETREAT SANTA ANSA.-We understand from
reliable authority, says the Natamoras Flag of the
18th inst, that there are letters in town from Mexi-
stating that Santa Anna in full retreat to San
LUIS Potos The letters also state that he held
consultation with his prinsipal officers after the first
days engagement, and that retreat then siren
uousy advocated, Before the battle commenced, the
Nexcans firmly believed that Gen. Taylor would re-
tire before their vastly superior numbers, and thae in
his retreat they could supply themselves with pro-
visions, of which they-were in much need-almost
starving.
Finding the Americans obstinate, and determined
to fight for their eatabes with the foreclosures Of
bull dogs, theyS despaired of getting dinner fion
them, and deemed IT prudent to retire.

DEATH OF A POWERFUL MoNARcH.-We translate
from the Franco American item of foreign news
which has not met our eyes elsewhere. A great En-
peror of India. little known in Europe bnt who, new
ertheless, was the chief of thirty millions Of men,
has recently died. We mean Min-Meah, the ruler of
Anam. Sovereign of all Cochin-China, Of ToRquin
and of Cambodla. The event Is importsnt,-Mi
Meah after the example of the Emperor OF Japan,
and the former example Of the Emperor of China had
constantly refused all relation with foreign powers
Ii is said that his is determined to open the
ports of the empire Of Anam to the vessels of o.
commercial nations.

Mr.. BENTON AND HIS CoMMIssloN.-,Dhe story that
Mr.. Benton asked for the recall, expected the recall
of Scott, Taylor. any other officer engaged in the
against Mexico, is gross falsehood, without the
least particle of fact for its foundation. The Wash
ngton letter writer's of the wing prints we perceive
are repeating the same story. They have now, since
the adjournment Of Congress, nothing TO do but to
relate as facts the idle and silly guesses they hear in
the streets.
The truth of the matter is that Mr. Benton has
neither asked nor sought this appointment. 1t was
offered to him by the administration account of
the confidence they felt in his practical sagacity and
the respect entertained for him in Mexico, which it
thought, would give him influence in negotia-
ting peace with that republic.
The object of appointing MIR. Benton could not be
attained without giving him, not tie actual command
of single military operations but the general control
of them-the power of directing when TO strike and
when to withhold the blow. This power the cabinet
have not thought proper confer, say from fear
of embroiling themselves with the general officers
already engaged in the war, while attribute
the decision to other reasons However this may be,
Mr.. Benton, we learn, is not dissatisfied with the
result.
The principal regret which we feel on account of
the failure Of the arrangement with Mr.. Benton arises
from this consideration, that if be appointed
hope of early peace would be much strengthened.
Our Washington correspondent in observing that the
only Of investing him with the principal conf
mand would be the recall of the major generals now
in the field gives we presume, one Of the arguments
which had weight with the Presidents cabinet. But
many persons Of high authority in military matters,
hold that recall would have been by no means neces-
sary. and such, we have reason to believe, Mr..
Benton's view Of the matter.-N Y. Post.

MISREPRESENTATION.

Immediately before the Baltimore Convention OF
1914, series of resolutions was passed by the DEM
ocratic Club Of indianapolis having reference to the
action of that convention, and incidentally abiding
10 the question Of Texas annexation. These resolu-
tions perhaps misunderstood by few democrats
at that time, and certainly misrepresented BY
wings then and afterwards These msrepresenta-
tions have recently been renewed BY the Columbus
Gazette and the Rushville Wing Republican, for the
purpose of endeavoring to make out a of demo-
cratic inconsistency. The resolutions represent
ed to have opposed annexation which is altogether
untrue The author of the resolutions, as well as
the Club who adopted them, were as strong annexa-
tionsts could be found anywhere and the purpose
of the resolutions was principally to maintain the
perfect unity of the democratic party for the purpose
of ensuring the admission of Texas, well for
other good ends. But do not mean to discuss
the bearing of the resolutions generally. The proper
time has not yet come for that. When it does, we
shall not fail in performing the duty. We now only
desire to enter general disclaimer to the con-
struction put upon them by the papers above named
The Columbus Gazette may perhaps err through ig-
norance, il gives evidence of having possession
of the resolutions. The Nashville editor however
improves upon the assertions of the Gazette and if
we give him credit for honesty it must be at the ex
pense of his understanding. He copies the follow
ing resolution.
RESOLVED, That circumstances give too much color
to the rumors from Washington, that few indivi-
duas prominently engaged in the immediate annex
alton of Texas have IN view the ultimate severance
of the Union, and the formation of Southern con-
federacy-that but traitors to the best interests
of mankind could participate in such project, and
that we viii resist Its consummation until DEATH.
Now it seems that this is too plain to be mis-
understood by any one capable Of understanding plain
tax. 1t is declaration against annexation, d.
recdy indirectly, express implied, but against
and only against dSRnion, and the project of the for
nation of "Southern confederacy," supposed to be
entertained by few who were making pretext OF
''immedateism" to destroy the moral influence of the
democratic party in the Northern States. 1t was
based particularly on the speech of Mr.. McDufhe in
the u S Senate made few months before the date
Of the resolution, in which he mapped out the boun-
dares Of three separate confederaces likely to grow
out of a disruption of the present Union. This
speech, we presume, the editor of the "Republcan'
never read; if he had, it would perhaps enlghter
him to the true meaning of the plain terms which
be seems incapable Of otherwise comprehendlng. Al
his fourishes about inconsistency, &C., would then
appear him, they do u.s. be entirely misap p.
piled and unwarrantable

WHAT SAYS GEN. TAYLoRl-The very last despatch
received at Washington from Gen. Taylor, dated al
Aqua Nueva, February IA, says:
q am urging supplies forward as rapidly as prac-
ticable from the rear and from the direction of Parras
for if joined by sufficient force of the regiments
wish 10 be able TO take advantage of any cpporuni
ty that may offer to create diversion In favor Of
Major Gen. SCOTS operations. OF these regi
ments none have yet been reported to me, nor do
know how many may calculate upon for service in
this quarter
Here, then, is undoubted evidence that Gen. Taylor
and Gen. Scott both relied upon the ten regiments
and the President an troo special messages called
Congress to authorize the organization Of those reg
ments But Congress, instead of acting, consumed
three months doing nothing True, the administra
ton party had majority in the lower house, but no
in the Senate, few democrats in the latter body hav
ing deserted the government at early period in thu
session-N Y. Sun.

MONEY MATTERs.-The revenue is coming in so
freely that MIR. Walker already puts his expectations
for the income of the first year Of free trade at
than thirty millions of dollars. The sub-treasury
here, and the mint at Philadelphia, have now on hand
aboat four millions Of dollars. million Of specie
has been sent from New York to Charleston and hall
million to Savannah for the supply of sub-treasury
demand there. The specie in the vaults of our banks
is now less than on the first of February. large
proportion Of the specie imported from Europe so far,
has been absorbed by the specie plans of the sub
treasury. But the amount in these places OF
deposite is nearly as large be desirable, and
will not, we suppose be much increased; that the
further importaiions must go chiefly to the banks.
Every interest the country is in a state Of pros
perity. The manufacturers are all doing well, and
most of them accommodating large profts.-Nelo York

The PoPE.-His Holiness, the Pope, went without
ceremony parade. TO the Church of St. Andre della
Vale, on the 18th Of January, and ascending the pull
pit, commenced preaching sermon to the astonish-
ment and delight Of the congregation lao Pope hav-
ing preached for the last three hundred years. This
is movement calculated, among others, to make his
Holiness popular with the people, and enable him
with their aid, to carry out many important reforms
he proposes. He is preacher, it is said, of great
elOquence, and is known profound scholar.

RELIEF FOR GERMANY.-The Germans residing IN
Louisville have called public meeting to raise funds
to be sent to the suffering poor of their father land
Although the distress, pretty general throughout
Europe, is not SO appalling in Germany as in Ireland
yet 1t is sufficient to elicit the warmest sympathy Of
those who have friends and kindred in that country
Europe seems to be dependent on the United States
at this tme for food. and among the poor, the suffer
ing must be great.
