Latest from the seat Of War

At the latest dates, (Junc 29th,) Gen. Scoo
was still at Pucbla, awaiting the arrival OF re-
Inducements Gen. Cadwallader had reached
Perote, and no doubt has ere this joined General
Scott. Gen Pillow with his command OF leoo
men, in escort of a train of 1875 Wagons, was
daily expected. Jaapa is evacuated, and the
sick and stores transferred to Perote. Guerrilla
parties infested the road and held possession OF
all points between Perotc and Vera Cruz.
Their holiness and number daily increase, and
their vigorous attack upon Gen. Pillows COM
mand was entirely unexpected. 1t is reported
his column has suffered scvcrely-somc eight
or nine killed and thirty wounded.
From Mexico we have the same dates. The
approaches to the city are fortified, and a battle
is expected before we take possession of it. No
one doubts Gen SCOTS ability to capture it, for
there is nothing our little army cannot do; but,
it is feared success will be attended with great
loss of life. Santa Anna is still at the head Of
affairs, and straning every nerve for the defence
of the capital.
General Scott has communicated to the Mex
lean Government the arrival of commissioner
(the much abused-the much talked about Mr.
Tri-D with full powers to conclude deiinative
treaty of peace. Their papers contain the letter
of Secretary Buchanan dated 18th April, an
nouncing that fact. Up to the latest dates a
quorum of their Congress could not be assem-
bed to act upon it. Peace seems to be as far
distant as ever, and the long hoped for termna-
ton Of the war exists only in fancy. Rein
forcements are rapidly arriving and being sent
to General Scott each detachment has to cut
their way through hordes of gucrrillas The
position of the army is deemed somewhat crit.

Scott will find lis hands full to 70 "a conquer

next arrival will be looked for with fevcrt.l
anxiety.
General Taylor at last dates was quietly sit
uatcd at Monterey. His reinforcements wer
rapidly arriving, but no movement towards Sal
Luis Potosi was anticipated.

The Annual Commencement Of the Uniyer-
sity of Vermont takes place Oh the 4th of
August next.
The event will be an unusually interesting
one to the University as well as to the public.
Having just completed subscription which en-.
sures its perpetuity, and eyinces the pride and
interest felt in its prosperity by the people of the
State, the officers will enter with high hopes
upon the labors Of another year. The prospects
of the institution were never so bright as at this
moment; and we doubt not that the people of
Vermont will labor with becoming zeal to rem
der it all that their wants and their reputation
demand
The Alumni will be addressed by the Hon.
JACOB CoLLAMEr, Representative in Congress
from the second district of this State whose
conceded ability ensures an address worthy the
occasion.

With all this array of ability, added to the
usually crcditable efforts of the graduates, We
cannot doubt that the occasion will excite that

the University, would seem to require at their

u The Vermont Pntriot don't agree with us
as to the propricty OF the Wings mriting Mr.,
Polk to visit Vermont. We hardly expected it
would. The smaller fry of Locofoco papers,
such as the Burlington Sentinel and the Wood
stock Age, are agitated with similar distressing
objections to our views in the premises. The
Patriot, in speaking of the matter, chooses TO be
rather more dscourteous than is its wont-the
other papers don't get up to the point of imperti-
nence, they are barely silly. Now these sensi-
tive Polk editors will probably be surprised to
learn that we nerer tried harder to please them
than we did in the very article to which they

The Chicago Convention.

We give in to-days paper the proceedings of
this important body, embracing its clear and
iorcible declaration of sentiments in regard TO
the first duty of every nation, that Of sell-goy-
eminent.
This assembage at Chicago of so numerous
a body of citizens, from every State and almost
every considerable city in the Union and COM
posed of men so eminent and influential, will
form an epoch for great branch of Admins
trative policy and long-contcsted question of
constitutional nterpretaton-that, namely, re-
garding the power OF the Federal Government
to construct works of Internal Improvement; a
power which has, during the dark period of our
history, been vehcmcntly opposed, and almost
overthrown. But the wants and appliances of
young and vigorous nation We're not to be

that some Of the most conspicuous OF those VINO
have hitherto denied the power OF internal inn
movement TO the Government-who have denied
10 il. indeed. almost every power OF good and
conceded to it practically only the power of
eyil-that is to say, the power of laying taxes
and making war; some of these men, we are
qlad to see, are yielding to more hcnetcent

pot so far as to admit that where an improve
ment is national in its character, it may be con-
sritutionally executed by the Government. This
will do very well for first step, aud is, indeed
