LATER FROM MEXICO.

We have received our Mexican papers
from The Both of May to the 5th of June,
inclusive.
The Merican Generals.-Gen. Arista
was apprehended on the evening Of the
29lh Of May, aud was Immediately ly sent,
under escort, towards Acapulco. The
reason for this arres, is unknown.--Gen.
AIlnonte was still in prison, aud had been
removed from ST.. Jago Tlalleloeo to the
city of Guadalupe. He was at first accused
of conspirins against the person Of Santa
Anna, and afterwards accused, in some Of
the public journals, Of treason; but a cor
respondent of the Republican, suggests
that The sole motive for his Imprisonment,
is. that he is Too great a friend of his coun-
try to suit The purposes of those in power.
Gen. Ampudia having refused TO proceed
TO Cuernavaca, as ordered, was sent thlh-
er under escort,
Santa Anna.-Wo have noticed, here
lofore, the resignation of General Santa
Anna, aud the fact that he was still al the
head of the Government; the matter is
cleared up by the withdrawal of his reslg.
nation.
But though tho general continues in
power, he has no enviable stuation; he
has abandoned his old friends and taken
up The puros or Farias party, and there
were strong SYMPTOMS three days after he
had been "forced'' 10 Withdraw his resig
nation by the popular wish, that The pop
ulaes would deprive him of power, with
out the formaiIy of second voluntary
remuneration.
The Defence Of The Capital.-On the
lst OF June all The natives of the United
States were ordered t, leave the city OF
Mexico, forlhe States Of Jalisco or Morelia
or they would be dealt with according 10
the law Of nalions. Gems. Gutierrez,

From the N. O. Picnuune, 23d inst.

Many of the officers cf Col. Doniphan's
command, now in this city, are startled
by the accounts received Of the utter dis
organization of the troops left at Santa
Fe under Col. Price Whilst Col. Doni-
phan's regiment remained in New Mexi.
CO, that Of Col. Price was held in good
discipline, aud the colonel himself was
esteemed competent person TO maintain
order in the camp. The characterization
and decentralization of the regiment, Of
which such deplorable and~frequent re-
ports have been received late, are atlri-
buted by several officers with whom we
have conversed to The corrupting influences
of the society of Santa Fe upon The sol.
diery. In all New Mexico society is or
ganized upon the must abandoned notions
Of domestic fidelity. There is little mar.
rying or giving in marriage there.-Un-
restrained concubinage is recognized
feature Of the social system, and the man
aers of the people are not formed upon
any acknowledged right or obligation per-
tanning 10 wcdIock. Ii is feared that after
the suppression fthe insurreclion in which
Gov. Bent aud many other American
citizen were murdered, that the soldiers
distributed through The towns 10 keep order
aud watch the movements Of the citizens,
became contaminated by evil example,
.unlil the disorders Of the camp reflected
the licentiousness Of the country. The
81. Louis papers, which may he supposed
to take lilllo.. pleasure in reporting such
things, publishes letter after letter dwell
lug upon the feaaul abandonment OF the:
so1diery TO The most profigats pastimes
and vicious occupations. With lhe ex-
ceplions Of the artillery companies from
ST. Louis, and Capt. Aguey's company
from Jefferson City, the troops are said 10
.have,glven themselves upl a dcpraved
and barbarous course Of lifs.-This state
4oflhingsis so different from that which
existed al the time of Colonel Doniphan's
departure from Santa Fe, that those Of his
officers with hom we have conversed are
at loss TO account for il unless il be thai
the soldiers were not able 10 resist the
influence Of society which made merit
of prostitution. 1t was perhaps in view of
tho power of evil example upon the NOR
ais; Of men that one Of the most intelligent
officers of The Chihuahua expedition said
10 vi, tha, the "more of that country we
annex to The Uuited States the worse off
we will be-" In Chihuahua there does
not appear 10 be better social organiza-
,ion. There too, as in New Mexico,
gross sensuaily predomina.es over all
sense Of shame. The country from Santa
Fe to Chihuahua is barren In soil as The
inllbilauis are destitute Of principles of
virtue. No rivers Of water niolsten the
arid rocks which are piled up in continuous
ranges of mountains, orrigate The scorch.
Ing plains between. Nor do streams of
moral sentiment fruclify minds which
have been withered and parched by lust
and ungudly incest.

will be remembered, was charged with having

Interesting TO Corn Shippers.--Our
exchanges say it has been ascerained that
the "shrinkase" ofcorn shipped TO Europe
is about equal 10 six per cent. An account
of sales of 10000 bushels sent from New
Orleans TO France, gives loss Of 10000
lbs. Ilthis be true those who ship ought
to take this item into their calculation, as
it is an important one, aud would be equal
in many cases to an average profit upon
a cargo. Corn from Georgia and Ten.

atmospheric Rail ROads.-The atmospheric
principle Of propulsion upon rail ways, excited
considerable attention in England sometime
since. 1t is subject Of controversy yetin that
country. We see it stated that upon the Croy.
don line, il has been tried and abandoned,
whilst OIL the South Devon line, where it was
perhaps longest in operation, il is still approx.
ed. According to the London Railway Times,
the Devon line has heen repeatedly worked
from Exeter to Dawlish in every possible
way, with heavy and with light freights, aud
all the experiments have been eminently sue
cessful. With light lreights speed of 70 miles
an hour was obtained, and with weight Of 80
to 100 tons, a speed of 30 to 80 miles per hour.
Further extensions orthe line TO Plymouth and to
Totncss are contemplated. 1t was stated seve-
raj months since, that the principle Of propel-
ling cars by atmospheric pressure was 10 be
tcscd upon the Charleston Rail Road. We
have heard nothing of it recently. Would 1t
not be well for the enlightened Directors of This
Rail Road to make an effort at testing this new
principle7

Nashuilc and Chattanooga Rail ROad.-Ac-
cording to report of Mr.. Edgar Thompson,
who has made survey aud estimate iot this
road, The route recommended will ,bo one
hundred and fifty miles long. This may ne
shortened for temporary purposes by using the
steamboats, OIL the Tennessee river for thrty'slx
miles, in a straight line, and making ll6 miles
Of road. The cost of this length of road is es-
timated at nearly two millions of dollars. Chat.
tanooga is about 45n miles from Charleston.
When this road is completed, this city will
have direct communication with the great
west, by The Georgia Rail Roads, which are adj
vancing rapidly. The great advantages which
Charleston and Savannah will derive from these
extensive chains of Rail Roads towards the
west canno, be calculated at present.

WASHINGTON, June 20.
Mr.. Buchanan left the city this morning
for New York.. where he will join tho
President, and proceed with him 10 Bos-
ton, via Hartford and Springfield. Mr..
Walker will also leave the city upon an
excursion for few days. Dispatches will
be forwarded 10 the Secretary Of State,
while he is absent, and business will not
be delayed BY the absence ofsthee Secrela-
ries and the President.
The time has arrived, at which il was
expected by the government. to hear some
Thing Of tho rosult Of Mr., Trisrs mission.
But the government has received no adyi-
ces, either favorable or;unfayora5le 10 the
object Of MIR. Trist's mission. 1t is not
believed, that at the last advices, Mr.,
Trist had held any communication with
any individuals composing The Mexican
government. That government has been
in such.a cordilion, thatiils would have
been idle 70 attempt negotiation with IT,.
But should Herrera be the President,

,ion be disappointed, then rest assured

States, aud il is believed that from sew:
enteen to twenty thousand troops will be
concentrated for The protection Of The city.
GuerriLlas.-.Accounts are published,
from all quarters, Of the formation Of guer-
riIla bands, but little is said oftheir per-
formances, and we are led 10 suspect that
the records Of the newspapers are rather
an evidence Of what the editors hope Than
of what their countrymen do. There is a
story Of the guerrilas under Jarau,a hav-
ing, on the Both of May, captured 80 hor.
ses. and killed 200 Yankees, between
Vera Cruz and Antigua. but this we
suppose To be The Mexican history Of the
attack on Col. Mclntosh.
