OF all the accounts which have been received by the
Mississippi steamer, the following extracts of letter
addressed 10 ageneman this city BY an intelligent OBJ
server at the Havana are among the most interesting We
hasten to lay it before our readers
"HAvANA, January 7, 1s47.
"SIR had the honor to address YOU on the 5th inst
acquantng you with the arrival of the Nissis-
sPp from off Vera Cruz, and that Santa Anna had been
elected by the Congress, with only two majority that
CamPeachy had again declared her neutrality and was
marching 10 the capital (Merd) with sly thousand
troops, in order TO bring her into the measures and that
Guatemala had claimed the State of Tabasco and in
fact up to the sthmus of Daren, and supporting her
claim with four thousand troops, under General Carrera
The British steamer is just IN, bringing us dates from
Vera Cruz the I'd instant and from the city of Mexico
to the 3st ultmo and from sources that be relied
on, | have gathered the following information: That
General Santa Anna at San Luis on the 25h ultmo
with report said, twenty thousand troops, but in fact
only about fifteen thousand and that he talked of march
ing to Saho; that the Congress was made up of
anything but the better part of the community and in
fact, composed of what is called in Mexico sans
caos, who had nothing to lose, and of course they
for war; that Congress had agreed to loan of one
million dollars. The clergy were opposed to it, and il
thought even that amount could not be obtained If
they succeeded in obtaining this loan, it last the
war for six months Almonte had retired from the war
chair and Canazo had taken his seat who was thought
to be pacific The wealthy citizens of Mexico, and
those who have the means Of living are for peace but
for the moment compelled to close their lips Never
theess they by voting for Herrera showed their feelings
on the subject. The stepping aside OF Almonte at this
moment means something that we have yet to learn.
''The troops in Vera Cruz badly paid and worse
fed numbering three thousand five hundred and the cas-
tie about eleven hundred, with provisions only for a
month at time
''The information from Tampico, received at Vera
Cruz by the last packet, relation to the conduct of
troops, had Gained the feelings before felt towards
the volunteers by the Vera Czanos and they speak in
the highest terms of the American general for the
he took to private property and PERSONS and
that the excitement against the Americans at Vera Cruz
daily subsding. Vera Cruz was indignant against
Santa Anna and his government, which manifested
by their late unanimous vote for Herrera.
''A the extra defence that has been made about the
walls of Vera Cruz that holes have been dug
together along the wall and pixies put into them and
covered over with pnckly pears that in marching up
our troops would fall into hem but could soon lay
plank over them

The working OF the New Tnrir.

Almost every paper which meets our eye from the
manufacturing districts contains additional evidence OF
the increased operations which the manufacturing CAPT
,ass are entering upon in full view OF the enactments
Of the tariff of 1916. The New Haven Register in reply
10 the Palladium of that city, which has been recently
eechoing the Federal cry of ruin tells us of three
new cotton factories which are about to be started in
that vicinity. The Register says very forciby in view
Of this clamor about "ruin' from the tariff of 1876 '.if
this be so, how happens il that we are now exporting
cotton goods instead of importing them Whilst we are
competing with the world in the foreign market
can we not compete with the foreigners at homer What
nonsense is this A queer illustration, truly of the
operation OF free-trade principles The Palladium
must go further from home for arguments to make out
its case Every branch OF mechanical business is doing
as ,c to say the least, at the present time as under
any high tariff have ever had-maugre the false pre-
dctons of the Palladium"
Nor is this prosperity confined to the cotton manufac-
ture Every day brings fresh proof that the iron
business equally prosperous. From many similar cases
we select only the following:
The Mourn SAVAGE IRON WoRKs.--The operations OF
this company continue advance with steady success

They denied to Mr. Madison the right to send the Mas
sachusetts militia across the American line. They de-
clared 1t unworthy of moral and religious people to
celebrate our victories in righteous war with
England. The same spirit actuates most (not alb

The "Boston Courier enters into serious discussion
OF the question whether the legislature should appropr-

war is unnecessary and unust-a sentiment that is con-
