steamers, in a beautiful clear type, on fine white
paper, and are faithful copies of the originals
BLAcKwoop's MAGAZINE being an exact fac-simile
of the Edinburgh edition.
The widespread fame of these splendid Peri
odicus renders it needless to say much in their
praise. As literary organs, they stand far in ad.
vance of any works Of similar stamp now pub
lished, while the political complexion of each is
marked by dignity, candor and forbearance not
often found in works of party character.
They embrace the views of the three great par
ties in England Wing, Tory, and Radical
"Blackwood" and the "London Quarterly" are
TORY; the edinburgh Review" Wing: andthe
WESTMINSTER" Radical. The "Foreign Quar-
tery'' is purely literary, being devoted principally
to criticisms on foreign Continental Works.
The prices of the REPRINTS are less than one
third of those of the foreign copies, and while
they are equally well got up they afford all that
advantage to the American over the English reader

OF The papers contain reports to the
effect that Senator BENTON is to go on to
Mexico as Lieutenant General of the Ar
my, (some say invested with extraordinary
powers,) and to take the chief direction
of the operations of the war. 1t we re-
member Alright, the high grades IN the 0fl-
fish army are as follows: MaJor-Oenefal
-Lieutenant-G Generals General-
Marshal. We believe that "Commander-
in Chief" is the only grade heretofore
known in our service above Maj. General.
We have misgivings as to the results Of
a campaign in Mexico entrusted to Scott,
and therefore trust there may be some
foundation for the report. No man In the
Republic combines in his character more
of the requisites of military commands
err, than Mr.. Benton. 1t is conf ectureo
that if the Mexican Congress proves incor'
rigible, he will forthwith take the field.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT NEWS!!

BY the arrival at late hour last night
of the u. S. steamer Edith, Capt Couil-
lard, we have three days later from Bra
SOS Santiago. She left Brasos on the Goth
ult. and brings confirmation Of the report
ed advance of Santa Anna with a large
force upon Saltilo. 1t was reported that
the Mexican army was nearly 10000
strong.
When Gen. Worth's express reached
Monterey, Gen. Tay lor had only gone six
or eight miles on his march to Victoria,
and the troops under Generals Twiggs and
Quitman were but twelve miles in ad
vance. Orders were Immediately issued to
this division to retrace its steps and pro-
coed at once TO SaItillo.
Gen. Butler, who was left in command
of Monterey, had already marched with
all the troops he could collect 10 join Gen.
Worth at Satillo.
Before the express reached Camargo
General Lane had started for Saltillo with
his command-this on the ooh. Gen
Marshall set out next morning, taking
with him the remainder OF the forces, with
the exception of Capts. Hunter and
Swartwout's commands, which were left
to protect that point. The troops from Ca
MARCO were on forced march, to reach
Saltio in time for battle, reports having
prevailed for several days before pos
tive advices were received of the move
ments of Santa Anna.
Gen. Wool was ninety miles from Sal
tillo at the last advices from him, and it
was supposed he would join Gen. Worth,
in q, a.
There was a rumor that Santa Anna
had thrown body of II, 900 men between
Gen. Worth and Gen. Taylor, to prevent
junction of the American forces. This
report was not credited, nor does it seem
| probable that ii is true, as the main road
to Monterey passes through Saltllo.-
! There is circuitous mountain road which
avoids SaltlIo, but it is not favorable TO
the march Of an army, and is impractical
/ BILE for ordnance.
II was the impression of gentlemen who
came passengers in the Edith, and with
whom we have conversed, that a battle
was fought about The 18th ult. 1t was
thought, however, that Gen Taylor had
reached SaltiIlo before that time, and also
Gen. TwIgg's, Gen. Quitmam's and Gen.
Buffers and Gen. WooPs commands 1t
was liskewise hoped that the troops from
Camargo would also arrive at SaItilo in
good season. IF these expectations were
realized, Gen. Taylor had about seven
thousand men to oppose Santa Annals.
| Our informants think Santa Annals ar
my was overrated; but no positive knowl-
edge was has of his exact numbers.
The whole valley of the Rio Grande
was in state of great ferment. Appre-
tensions of an attack were entertained at
Camargo, Matamoras and other points,
from the rancheros under Canales. The
withdrawal of SO many troops from the
river left the valley exposed to DANGER
i AT Matamoras, Col. Clarke had called
upon the citizens TO enrol themselves for
service, and at the Brasos Gen. Jessup
had done the same thing. Both these
points were sadly deficient in both men
and arms. 1t YVES thought Caaales had

The VoLUNTEERs.--We looked upon a
proud and gratifying sight on Monday
morning. 1t was the assemblage of four
volunteer companies, to-wit: the Lowndes
Guards, the Monroe Volunteers, the Lau-
derdale Volunteers, and the Union Grays,
10 take their leave Of the city for Mexico.
A more noble and inspiring assemblage it
was never our fortune to behold. Always
proud of our State, in her deepest misfor-
tunes, we felt that she, through these gal
liant men, presented front TO our repub-
lican sisters and the world, that defied any
expression of thought to do her the Justice
which her sef-sacrificing devotion TO the
honor of our common country demands
They were a glorious association of
"boys." They not only acted great, but
they looked well. Governor Brown, in
the name of the State and city, bid them
an affectionate and patriotic fare WE'LL
His manly address was responded to in
an eloquent and noble speech bv Cant.
Blythe, OF the Lowndes Guards. Can't.
Acker was then called for, and made a
few brief and patriotic remarks. Can't.
Melville and Capt. Daniels were also
called for, and made a few patriotic re-
marks. Altogether our city has not wit
messed more inspiring, noble or patriotic
occasion. They are gone-the pride
and confidence of the State. May honor
attend them; glory encircle every man of
them; and If II be possible, we most de-
voutiy and religiously trust, that after
winning honor and renown for themselves
and our beloved and common country
that they may all return in lie, health and
peace, TO enjoy the respect, trust and con-
hide nee of their fellow-ci:izens, in the hon

Bv the arrival of the steamer Virginia,
from Brazos Santiago, we have been in
formed, by our correspondent, that on the
Oath an express arrived at Matamoras,
bringing the following highly interesting
intelligence from the army:
An express (Maior Caldwell, Quarter
Mastery reached Monterey at IL O'Clock
at night, on the 18th, leaving again at
A. NJ, the following mornlng-in which
Gen. Worth reports, as he hears from his
spies, that Gen. Santa Anna is marching
at the head of between 20 and 10000
men, and was within three days march of
Saltillo. He writes, also, that he has sent
expresses to gen. Wool at Parras and gen.
Butler had sent dispatches TO Gen. Tay IoF.
They doubtless have marched 10 Join gen.
Worth.
Gen. Taylor had left Monterey, with his
suite, the day previous, his command haV-
ing set out for Victoria two days before his
departure.
The express leaving Monterey for gen.
Marshall, was forwarded by the latter &c
gen. Patterson, with dispatches, at Malta.

Patterson had marched for Tampico, 1t i'm
mediately started in pursuit. Dispatches
arrived here with this intelligence to Gen
Jessup, al IL o'clock A. NJ l., and he lmme
diately left for the mouth of the river.
Great excitement prevails along thu
valley of the Rio Grande. Most of on
posts, particularly at Matamoras, Camargc
and Monterey, where a number of Anne
rican citizens are remaining, and hav
but few troops at present, are armin!
and preparing for the worst. Several per
sons have been cut off on the roads above
and travelling is extremely hazardous
unless with large parties.
On. any reverse to our arms, every Mex
lean in the valley turns against US!
The Alcade at Matamoras, who pre-
dicted the day our battles have been fougt
on, says that Santa will attack our force
on Christmas day. If the battle shout
not be fought before our forces can b
thrown into Saltillo, or until Gen. Taylc
forms a junction with the forces at thu
point, we may expect one of the bloudie
conflicts that our flag has ever Witnessed

Capt. Lowell, of the Regular Army,
detailed TO muster our Second Regiment
into service, arrived here on Friday last.
He is also empowered TO act as quarter

arms, and all equipments needed.
Five companies have already been mus
tered into the service, to-wit: the Marshall

Gr Mr.. Lumsden, one of the editions of
the Picayune, writing from "Tampico, De-
cember 25," says
"Private letters from the city of Mexico
are in this city, stating that it is expected
there will soon be revolution there against
the ministers, who the people say, have
proved themselves incompetent to man
age the affairs of the nation in a proper
manner. In fact it is said that every thing
is in confusIon-no money, no credit, and
plenty of dissatisfaction.

those who formerly held office-look upon
us as their deiverers, not as enemies. 1t

Mexican papers received at New York,
via Havana, TEEN with accounts of the
preparations going forward at San Luis
like all Mexican accounts of course much
inflated and magniied. The following is
an extract:-
Accounts from San Luis praise the dis
cipine and valor OF the army. There
were 1000 -.,ea. with - niaces of ar
nliery. Five thousand additional troops
were expected daily. The magazines of
powder and the stores of the balls and 9TH
er missiles are said to exceed belief. Eve
nv piece of iron that can be found is con-
verted into pixies or other deadly weapons.
In one store house alone there are 2G0
mechanics working day and night, mount
ing guns, or manufacturing munitions of
war. There are 500 more at work on
the Notifications, which are being strength
ened in every possible manner. One
thousand women, filed with enthusiasm
in the national cause, had come down TO
The camp from San Diego and Tlascala, TO
aid making articles for the soldiers Santa
Anna had grand review of the whole
army on me LON OF november. IL Is de-
seribed as a magnificent pageant. So
overpowered was he by the boundess en-
thusiasm which greeted him as he passed
along the lines, that his feelings overcame
him and the tears rolled down his swarthy
cheeks, amidst the prolonged huzzas of
the various regiments, and cries of civic
tory or DEATH" "God and Liberty" "long
live Santa Anna ~ "We will beat the
Yankees this time!' &c, &c,
Provisions were pouring into the camp,
in immense quantities. Language is said
to fail in attempting description of the
formidable preparations making at San
Luis. There was to be the last great
struggle. There, say the newspapers, will
the fate of Mexico be decided, and farther
resistance it is safe will be useless.

OE% The news from the seat Of war is Of
thrilling interest, and the next accounts are
looked for with the most eager anxiety
We feel certain that the number of the
enemy's force is exaggerated. With the
advantage of the defences at Saltlllo, our
gallant soldiers will NOW down the assail-
ants by bataIlions and regiments. Our Sc
ven thousand brave troops, under the lead
of Taylor, Butler, Worth, Wool, Quitman,
&c.. will not only rePel the assault OF San
ia Annals twenty thousand, but will drive
them back in confusion. If they can coax
the willy, one-legged, murderous villain in
TO a battle, we have no fears as to the re-
suit. 1t will be seen that our gallant Mis-
sissippi regiment was ordered to retrace its
steps, and march to the suCcor of Worth
at Saltillo. Reinforcements under the last
requisition are rapidly going forward, and
at the worst we cannot bring ourself to an
ticipate any serious disaster to our arms.
