Important from Mexico.

20 minutes past 9, p. NJ.


20 minutes past 2, P. NJ.
The Tribune has received another overland
express from the South, bringing intelligence
from Mexico one day in advance of the mail.
The advces from the city of Mexico are to
the 9Th ultimo. The Mexican papers breathe
def ince towards the North Americans.
The most energetic efforts were being made
TO carry on the war. The Government had ap.
pointed committee to receive subscriptions to
defray its expenses. The Bishop Of Oaaca mad
contributed $4,000 and the churches were Civ
ing their plate.
The fertilization at the capital was still in
progress.
Santa Anna was making great exer,ions to
increase his army, which was augmenting in
numbers rapidly.
The priests were striving 10 prevail on the
people to take up arms IN body. Enlistments
were going on rapidly. At last accounts the
Mexicans had seven thousand muskets, and fifty
pieces Of artillery.
Letters from Orzaba report that Gen. Scott is
sick at Jalapa. He would not proceed toward
the capital until he had an interview with the
newly appointed Commissioner from the United
States.
Letters from Durango report that Col. DoDi-
phan was countermarching on Chihuahua.
1t is reported that an attack had been made on
one of the wagon trains of Gen. Taylor, and
that Gen. Taylor had been wounded.
The Mexican Generals Lemus and Iterburde
had died at San Luis.

RETURN OF VoLUNTEERs.-A large number
of volunteers arrived at New Orleans on the Odd
and 23d ult who belonged to the twelve months
requsition, and some of whom had seen all the
discomforts and peris of the campaign. Among
them was Colonel Campbel's regiment of LIST
Tennessee volunteers, who left New Orleans a
year before, one thousand strong, and brought
back but three hundred and fifty, about third
of the original number, who lett their homes to
seek the bubble reputation in fighting in an en-
emy's territory. They encountered the heats of
a summers campaign upon the banks of the Rio
Grande.-they fought at Monterey, and marched
back to JOIN Gen. Scott, and participated in the
fight at Cerro Gordo. Two thirds OF their num-
Der have made their graves in Mexico, and the
survivors bear home remembrance only of their
departed comrades, their wreath of glory being
double covered over with the symbol of mourn
ing. They have maintained themselves man
fully in the trials which they have undergone,
but they fix the seal of their dlsapprobaton up
on the war; for they come home. The nation
has not yet decided what was tho cause of the
war, and the declaration of President Polk, that
it existed by the "act OF Mexico" though IT has
been endorsed by numberess political assem-
bles, is pronounced to be a miserable fiction
by every man of sense upon the continent. The
experience Of the Tennessee volunteers-a sim
gle regiments the experience Of the whole in

TEXAS AND TAXES 1t has been wttlly re-
marked that "the origin of the present war is
Ierds, and the result will be Tares." No mis-
take about that last item. Taxes we shall have
in every shape. Taxes, draining our purses as
farmers jug Of drink is drained in hayng
time High tariffs and direct imposts will follow
this killing scrape as surely as headaches and
empty pockets follow "spree." We have sup
ped on that costly and flimsy dish, "Glory," and
must foot prodigious long bill. We have
danced the "Dance of Dealh," and must paw The
fiddler roundly. We have taken the lives of
MeXicans, and must give up what is about as
dear to US as i.e-our money. Tax-gatherers
will crawl over the land thicker than bugs and
worms crawl out of the ground after a shower
Middle aged persons can recollect their swarm
ing near the close of the last war with Great
Britain. They will come this time, and are a
sort of visitors that Brother Jonathan once
fought eight years to keep off his PROMISES
Strange that he now voluntarily brings them up
on himself
! But it is said we shall make the Mexicans
pay the expense of this war. Hunbug. They've
nothing TO pay with Would they neglect TO
Iced aud equip their defenders, in order to lay
up treasure for their invaders? All the recon-
pense we shall get, and all the recompense Polk
thinks OF getting, is territory. And this terrific
ry will be worse than no recompense whatever.
1t will be like a mans taking rum for his days
work. 1t will be an eternal bone of contention
"A hot potato that will burn our mouths to
blister. For the core, slavery, is living coal.
And windy orators, both North and South, will
blow it into raging flame. We have had
taste, in the Wimot Proviso struggle, of the
gall and NORWOOD this new territory is certain
to prove to US.
Upon posterity, Also national debt of Mil
lions will be saddled, weighing them down like
Christians bundle of sin. "The fathers have
eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth shall
be set on edge" So much for one wicked war.

all future time, though 1t look ever so pretty

and twenty .seven public establishments.
The loss property is immense, and has been
variously estimated at GI,000,000 to G2,500,0O0
To account for this apparently exaggerated loss,
it is necessary TO mention that not single stone

the intense fury of the flames. According to
our correspondent, 500 miserable houses are all

GEN. TAYLoR's Personal APPEARANCE. A
correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger says
lie has seen the old General in all conditions -
on foot horseback, sitting, standing and snoring
on and off parade, and that all the likenesses Of
him yet published are abominable carcatures.-
He adds;
"The General is not over feet or inches
high, is stout, and ncines to corpuency, would
weigh, should think, near 200 pounds, and the
most prominent thing about him is an unusual
shortness Of legs. When he is sitting he looks
like tall man-but not so when standing. His
face is intelligent, and it is usually lit up with
benevolent smile. He is In the habit, when
speaking to any one, of partially closing the left
eye. His hair is gray and frizzly. In one word,

Federal Fears i'm Rhode island.

The Manufacturers Journal of Providence, Rhode

And if radicalism once obtains the power in Rhode
Island it will manifest itself ia the violent and de-
strucve form. The overthrow Of the Constitution and
the destruction Of every conservative guard the repeal

foreigners TO equal participation in the suffrage
among the avOed objects OF the party which has just
succeeded in a district that embraces nearly half the

Horrible, most horrible, would it be, if the naughty
radical democrats should get the power that fede
raj ridden Staies and repeal that conservative guard
of AlgerDe tyranny the constitution which gives
the right of voting to property and not to men-the
dollar tar lap-the open ballot, which allows the
manufacturer to inspect the ticket of his operatives

then allow the foreigner who seeks land of lib
erty a refuge from tie tyranny Of unequal laws in
the old world to equal participation in the right
Of suffrage with those who to the manor born.'
These. this " Manufacturers Journal " says, are the
avowed objects of the democratic party, and it de-
