The statement that the editors of the Journal Of
Commerce lococcos, has been repeatedly made BY
the Indiana Journal. and repeatedly stated by US TO
be false. The editors Of the Indiana Journal knolc
the statement be false. They know that the edi-
of the Journal Of Commerce profess independence
of partizanship; and they know that they oppose and
have always opposed the Subtreasury and other Lead
ing democratic measures. They know further, that
the Journal of Commerce was one Of The very first
papers which professed to be in favor Of Taylor for
the next President the ground principally. that he

Hallock, his partner deems his duty state what

reviews all the facts connected with the annexation
of Texas the diplomatic acts which followed. and the
breaking out of hostilities, making strong case
IN favor of the United States. and coming the con-

in full He rspudiates the idea of abandoning the
war; for the very good reason that will strike every
mind that il cannot be abandoned but the withdrawal
of troops will be the signal for a renewal of the
war; apd all the annOyances which the Mexicans be-
gan when they first crossed the Rio Grahde attack

GEN. ScorT's ARMY.-The New Orleans Bulletin
gives the following estimate of the forces now under
Gen. Scott:
''Gen. Scott, az near as we can ascertain from our
inquiries, had with hun shen he Joined Gen. Worth
at Pueblo
About 1909 men.
He was subsequently joined by COL Childs,
with the garrison of Jalapa, about 1.400 :"
Gen. Cadwallader's column is 1.4O0 "a
Gen. Pillow has with him 1,S00 +"
Gen. Pierce was TO leave Vera Cfhz on
the 9th and 18th, with a large train,
and will have force of $500
Il Making together l4lOO
$50 That whet he shall be Joined b3 tte reinforce
ments that have actually left Vera Cruz, his force
will be about Ia, 600 men from which, after making
the usual deduction for the sick list aud other
gencies, there will still remain a sufficient efectse
force for him TO make forward movement We
take 1t for granted that the reno.cements will all
succeed in joining him. fot even if The enemy succeeds
in checking the advanced column those in the rear
will be coming up, and, when united, they will GER
tanly be able to force their way through any force
the enemy oppose TO them.
The recent heavy arrival Of government fonds;
we are happy to learn has enabled the disbursing
officers to pay off all arrears, and TO meet promptly
all new demands, including all the army bills from
Mexico"
Besides the forces above named, there are troops
constantly route for Scott and Taylor; and If the
Mexicans do not speedily propose to to terms,
they will be thrashed again. The following items
are from late New Orleans papers:
