GES. ScoTr's Pos1rIoN.-It will be seen
from the news contained in this weeks pa
per, that the story of Gen. Scott's enter
ingthc City of Mexico, is groundless. It
is somewhat surprising with what rapidity
such reports gain credence in the absence
of correct information. The news from
the army for the last week has been contra
dictory and doubtful. The arrival of the
steamer Fashion at New Orleans, however,
will disabuse the public mind at last. Let
ters nave been published in the GAINESVILLE
(Ohio) Courier, pu1porting to have been
written by an officer in the army 'enTo"te'
for the City of Mexico, dated last at Rio
Frio, 18th July; which says: ave arenow
within fifteen miles of the city Of Mexico
in the advance under Gen. Worth. Gen.
Sect will be up this evening with the re-
manning force, when we will have fifteen
thousand men. Mr.. Trist, our Commission
er, will also come with Scott" &c.
1t is singular how this letter could have
gotten to Il GAINESVILLE, if written in Mexico
in so short a time, and without any news OF
the kind stopping in New Orleans.
NJ. Kendall, the well known letter-writer
Ia ;.xiro, was IF opinion that Scott would
mare. in a We Wv days for the Capital,
and that the most obstinate battle Of the
war is yet to be fought. Other kmowimg
ones, however, diferfro this opinion, as
to the battle. Some papers assert from the
movements at Washington, that peace is
not contemplated; others are certain, from
the aspect of affairs in Mexico, there will
be no more fighting. Time will tell.

of Saturday the 18th, says: "Three com.

Mr.. MURRAY:-In your last paper | OBJ
served a reference made to an editorial in

to the holding of public meetings in the
different counties, to select delegates to the
State Convention which will convene at
the Capitol in March next. AS a demo-
crat looking forward with deep solicitude
70 the action of the party on that subject,
desiring that there may be no divisions a
mong us, but that all may participate in
that meeting, | an r~ejoiced that you have
called attention TO it. The struggle next
August will be no ordinary one; and a
knowledge of this fact calls for the deep
consideration of every democrat. Our
opponents have now been quiet for eight
years, Icscrving and outstanding their
strength for this contest, knowing as they
do that it will Immediately precede the
great Presidential battle, and that its re-
suit may much effect the latter.
In view of these things, it much becomes
us to consider well and maturcly the man
whom we select. Personlly | have no pre-
.fprenccs; but the good of our party requires,
that We should place before the people to
be voted for, one whose morals are pure
and unimpeached-whosc political course
has been upright and consistent, and whose
intellect will enable him to meet success
fully the strongest man of the wing party,
by a triumphant vindication of our princi-
pies. | can then see no improperly in hold
ing our meeting upon the day suggested by
the Metropolitan.
can only speak for myself, and the few
democrats with whom | have spoken upon
this subject. They all join me in the opinion
that it will be altogether proper to meet to-
g~ethcr upon that day, and take such action
as We may deem for the good of our prin-
ciples. PRAIRIEvILLE.

The Vera Cruz correspondent of the .Nsw
Orleans Times, gives a statement of affairs
at Mexico, from which it is inferred that
another battle will be the prelude to adef-
mite peace. After the Mexican Congress
referred back to Santa Anna the peace pro-
positions of Mr.. Trist, he called a council
of his Generals and they decided to risk
another battle before negotiating. All agree
in representing Santa Anna as in favor of
peace. 1t is supposed that a fierce battle
will be fought, bnt no one doubts that Scott
will triumph. In addition to the $4,000
Mexicans in the'capital, $4,000 are stationed
at different points on the road to Puebla.-

letters by TIE Steamship U~GahiHshn.-
According to information received by TIE
New York Com. .2{rerfiser, there is little
disposition on the part of the British Gov
eminent to arrange plans with the Ameri-
can PoSt-ollicc Department. The same
postage-tlat is, both tie inland and ocean
charged by the English post
office upon letters sent by the WashfnSto"
as upon those sent by the Cunard steam
ships, thus depriving this Government OF
the postage from port to port, or cumpeil-
that already made on the other side. Mr..
Bancroft has sent in a strong protest on the
subject, but when the HaShingtab sailed
Mr.. Hobbie had not learned that any no.
Itice had been taken of it by the British
Government, although some days elapsed.
The Washington correspondent Of the New
York Herald says:
"lt is the intention of our government to
retaliate by the only means possible before
the meeting of Congress-that is, by rals-
ing the rates of postage on the mails carrl-
ed between Boston and Montreal. These
will now be raised to the highest standard
allowed by the law; and Congress at its
next session will be recommended to enact
such Ietaliatory laws as will compel the
British government to abandon its over
charge on mails carried by our steamships
