OFFICIAL NEWS FROM THE ARMY.
FROM THE UNION.

We understand that letters have been received
from Major General ScoTT as late as the 18th OF
February, at the Brasos. He was making every
arrangement to remove the troops to the island OF
Lobos; but, contrary to his expectation, the ten
transports which mad been engaged at New Orleans,
and the others which had been dispatched from the
Northern ports had not yet arrived. 1t is certain
that they must have arrived there from both ports
before this time. The ordnance, too, had not got
TO its place Of destination.
Accounts had been received that the Mexican
troops were pouring into Vera Cruz, principally in
consequence of the dispatches which had been in
terceped on the person of Lieut.. RIcHEy, of the
infantry.
1t is also said, on highly respectable authority,
that French merchantmen had just found its way
into Vera Cruz with ten thousand stand Of arms
and twenty tons of gunpowder on board. 1t remains
to be seen in what manner this vessel eluded our
bockaiing squadron.
Ii is said that Commodore PERRY, who left Wash
ington few days ago to embark in the steamer
Mississippi, (latey repaired at Norfolk within
week yoes to the Gulf, to take command of our
squadron.
Gen ScoTT had not received any very recent
dispatches from Gen. TAYLOR, but accounts had
reached him from Monterey of the report that Maj
BoRLAED, with about fifty soldiers Of the Arkansas
mounted regiment, had been taken by the Mexcans

THE LAST DAYS OF THE SESSION.
FROM OUR DAILY PAPER OF MONDAY

FROM DAILY PAPER MONDAY.
We have now reached within three days of the
close of the present Session of Congress; and,
with the exception of adding ten reg ments to the
Army, and provision for borrowing less money
to carry on the war than the Government will want
for that purpose before Congress meets again, the
mass OF the indispensable business of the Session
is yet on the tables of the two Houses. The most
important Of the depending bills relate to the exist
ing War. The whole business of the Session has
related indeed to almost nothing else. The War has
occupied, we believe, nne-tenths OF the time OF both
Houses Nothing else seems, in truth, to be thought
much worth attending to- 1t is one of the evils
illseparable from state of war, in popular Gov
eminent especially that, while it lasts, it generates
and nourshes a rank growth of such legislation as
overshadows and stiles the production of wise,
wholesome, and benefcent measures. The House
of Representatives has, indeed, in the same breath
in which it voted something like thirty five millions
nf dollars for the years expenditure for the army
alone, passed bill appropriating sum short or
one million of dollars for harbor improvements,
and lesser sum for lighthouses but, should these
bills be even fortunate enough to pass the Senate,
~ Hidy well DC uouDLeu Wnetller Hley VIII DC per-
United to become laws "...
The most important incident of the last week is
the decision by the House of Representatives on
Saturday evening against laying additional taxes of
any kind, to any amount, for the purpose of eking
out the revenue The history of this bill is told in
the report of the proceedings upon it; from which
the reader will learn that no debate was allowed, and
that the same body, which only the very day before
passed by majority of some fifty votes provi-
sion granting to the Executive powers looking to
enlarged and more extended and expensive opera
tons in the against Mexico, refused by majority
of sixty-eght votes to tax their constituents to an
amount necessary to sustain their own measures. If
this vote be considered as test of the real sentiment
of the House-and prinaa .facie it must be SO con-
sidered-the House, though in favor of prosecuting
the war; is not sufficiently to vote for the nan-
cial measure which the Executive has repeatedly
declared, both in Presidential Messages and Trea-
sury Reports, to be indispensably necessary to
enable it to carry the The bill which has
been rejected cannot in that or any other shape
be reconsidered or revived Saturday being the las
day of the Session-unless by two-thrds vote in
both Hoises-on which bill originating in either
House can be sent to the other.

Some Of the Generals,
There is General Gushing, whose first feat WAS to
break his leg in nocturnal stroll with Mexican Seno-
rita. He Is the ladies' General
There General Pillow who digs his ditch inside the
bresstwors AS the of these two Generals would
imply, they are both scottish.
There Is Gen Price, who suffered himself nearly to be-
eaten up by the New Mexicans before he knew it, but
then made sterling fight.
There is General Qutman, who wants chance to dis
tinguish extinguish himself
There Is General Pierce who had to turn back to Vera
Cruz for more men, afraid Of Jaranta.
There General Cadwallader who is the true soldier
even in little things leaving the military mark.
There is Gen Hopping, and "Phebus what a name,''
But put the exploits Of all of these generals together
and you can't begin to up to the topic ftca

What apile of Presidential candidates are here. And
mark u.s. before ten years are past and Cushing is
alive and he Is not avowed candidate for the Pres
dency on the strength Of breaking his leg.
IL does really seem that your merely clever sort Of
Generals stand out in bold relief perfectly absurd
compared with OLD TACK.
