Billy went TO bed with his clothes and
boots on-and trembled till morning.
How Jinkins subsequently, managed
"matters and things in general" can be
known by application to his dear Lucy
| Ann.
Reader, strange as it may appear, there
are Jinkins all over the world, but the
free-masonry Of welded life draws the
curtain before the eyes of the uninitiated.
Going to bed on the first night after mar
riage must be among the most delicate
situations in life. Ask your married neigh
experience, exactly in that way.
FROM VERA CRUZ AND TAMPICO.
JALAPA, July, 90, 1847.

OF the American army, now encamped near

". K. Van Bonlin, Brigade Q. NJ.
The reply Of the corporation is given on
the Spanish side of the Sun. The members
are very indignant at what they consider
the harsh language OF the General. They
make no difficulty about tie provisions
these could have been had at reasonable
rates, without any threat.
The same paper says that q Mexican,
| Orator. it says.) Was encountered by a
party OF guerriLIas, and being suspicious, he
YVES required TO undergo an examination
but having offered resistance, he was killed.
Three large packages, continuing letters
from the officers Of The army, TO their friends
n the United States, were found in his pos.
session.
The Boletin adds: in said correspond
ence, it is stated that great dscord exists
between the volunteers and regulars OF the
American army. and that this may cause
them to fight among themselves
1t also says that it appears from intercept
ted letters, that General Pillow and other
American chiefs are OF opinion that the at
tack upon the capitol will no, be successful
that the commanding officers consider
the capitol to be in very strong state Of
defence, as much Tor its Notifications as for
the number Of men who will be brought in
ection--and finally that the guerrlas had
completely interrupted the correspondence
between Pueba and Vera Cruz.
The letters after having been read were
sent 10 the governmel at Mexico.
Four American deserters arrived at ia
IaIa on the 3Olh ut. three Of whom were
from Pueba and one from Gen. Pierce's
train. They were to leave Jaapa for
:, Coatepec. The Doeiin says that those
from Puebla report that the desertlon was
very great from the ranks Of the American
army, and that 70 deserlers were advertis-
ed in one day At Puebla The one from
Gen. pIerce's train, is said 10 report that
wagons full Of sick follow him. We don't
believe one word Of this.
The same paper says assasslnatlons are
frequent in Jaa1a, rs well OF Americans as
Mexicans. A small garrison is required
there for the protection of the Inhabitants.
Another courier from JalaPa arrived az
; Vera Cruz on the 7th inst. and by this we

tits mail gave no later news from Mexico
or Puebla. but some further details.

We turn to other Mexican papers. in
