Photographic Correspondence OF the Philsd Bulletn
PETERSBURG, Sept IL. A. NJ.
The newspaper mail has not been received here from
the South although believe there has been failure to
connect on the route It probable some Of the paper
rise in the rivers from heavy and almost
dented rains.
A gentleman Of this place, who left New Orleans
the 4th tells me that nothing Of later date than
ceived by the Fashion has TRANSFERRED there and that the
papers Of the Sd contain all the intelligence known
There is doubt expressed to the genuine charac
ter OF the news, though it all through Mexican
sources
The general impression Is that Scott acting under
orders from the War Department to form treaty OF
peace with the Mexican Government without taking the
city under the impression that assault and lombard
ment might produce counter revolution unfavorabe
to Santa Anna and then there would government
treat with.
