 Eds DeHa-Ihs morning train will leave heIe for Vera Cruz, and 1t will doubtless be the last one thai will go down for time. The recent attack on Beit'strsin of wagons, wil show that the gHef- ra system has been commenced by the enemy, and fiie heavy force of four or five hundred mea, who are ordered to escort the train down, argues ptetty concl;,svely that foks'iear to trust them now with the usual escort. il may not be so mach this as the fact that the return of the train than hat million of species will be sent up. In Gen. Scott's onters of advance, Ga copy oi which l send you,) you will find that the long ches -aed principle Of miae--to live oil the enemy ---is about 10 be SealIzed.
 On Tuesday, Gen. Quitman's brigade win leave here; un Wednesday, Col. CampbeIi's, fiate PilIow'sI; on Thursday. Col. Riley's; and on Fri day, Gen Smiths and the last. These commands moving within 2i hours of each other will so con tinue until they reach Puebla, at which place they will doabtless rest day or two before entering the city of Mexico.
 The enemy have evacuated Piebla Not sol. dier is to be found this side of that place, and vefy few between tbere and Mexico. Bravo left Puebla and marched 10 the city wiih its garrison; and Canalizp was also moving in with few disaf- fcctesi troops.
 1.-the clergy and wealthy men of Mexico have any thing to say. they viii not suier the city to be attacked.
 Santa Anna Is still in the mountains, and afraid to go home. He has about 5000 men with him. and will either go to work upon the trains, else try and make his way to the capitol-in this latter he will probably be opposed by several prominent men, and one here argues that the first fight 'sto come oil will be between Santa Anna and his own people.
 In advancing into inc interior, Gen. Scott be- eyes that he can sHbsist his army mostly from the enemy. He is ted to this opinion by men of intel hgence, whom he has employed to travel over the country h six weeks or two months the new crop ha ha is used, of either forage, breadstuis, meat He has prndenty withheld all intnatioR of this to the natives, fearing they woald hide or destroy their productions; but in informing you of this at the dis tance you from the seat Ot war. 1t is of no con sequence as we wilflikely be in Mexico ete your paper containing 1t wall reach the coantry.

 Col Haskell, ed Tennessee.) as you will also see by the erlers, IS leit 10 garrison the town in connection with other commands.
 Ioo'oioct, T. M-rhe difficulty with the train on the road has rather changed the order ef things have last heard that Gen. Fwigss will not leave here for ten days In the meantime Gen. Scott and staf will go Hp to Perote, and additional defences will be bestowed on the Castle, under the immediate eye of the Commander in. Chief
