Expected Battle.

Expected Battle.
1t is said that Santa Anna has 10000
men with him, and that he will make
another stand at formidable point in the
road-at Rio Frio. This, says the New
Orleans Delta, is one ofthe most danger
Gus and difficult passes which our army
will have to make. The road, for some
distance beyond Puebla, is excellent, but
near Cordova it is reaches the mountains,
and passes through deep narrow defles,
and over steep and rugged heights. The
country is wild looking, thinly wooded
with oaks and pines, and rendered very
rough and uneaven by rocks of lava and
Porphyry. Near Tesmelucos, little
village or hacienda. il begins to wind
along the side ofthe mountain in many
places being cut through the solid rock.
Here the road is commanded by the
heights af Popocptapetl. which. if occu.
pied by strong battery,would render the
passage Of an army over the stee 2,rugged,
and exposed ascent, task of very great
danger and difficulty. But,even when the
heights are passed, the perils and obsta.
cles ofthe position are not enterely sur.
mounted; for the road decends into a
deep, narrow dell. where a small and
brave force might operate with great
effect upon large army accompanied BY
long trains and parks of artillery. This
dell is traversed by the Rio Frio, (Cold
River.1 where our brave soldiers may as.
suage their their thirst after the labors
OF this difficult passage. The Rio Frio
IS the oaly point on the road, between
Puebla and Mexico, which is likely to
give our army trouble. 1t s midway be

FOURIER ASSOCIATION,

Last summer party Of .'Fouricritesf
passed up the river with the intention Of
forming an association or community in
Wisconsin. They had with them farming
utensils, mill machinery and every thing
requisite TO the prosperity Of a small com
munity, excepting good feeling, as will be
seen by the following extract from the Chi
cago Journal
"a wide cx.cn, Of beautiful country was be-
fore them, select on was made, and the ground
was marked ont for tho boundaries Of their $50

for the future, reproducing the iru, OF the soil

yokcd and made fast 10 the plough. But here
arose difficulty which had not been foreseen-
they all insisted on gliding the plough, but not
n soul Of them would drirc The team! The qucs-

which took place accordingly. The property OF

PARTY SERviLITY.

Since commenting upon tho partisan
character Of the press in Iowa, in connec-
ton with the announcement of nm ex,rn
session cf the Legislature, We have me,
with some sentiments in The Standard-,hc
purest, most upright Wing paper Of The
statc-corresponding with those VIC had
broached. Speaking Of the party servili,y
Of the members Of the Legislature the cdi-
tor snys:-
''l.et a person note the politics Of the diff.
tereni members, and it he does not observe,
in the yeas md nays, a most harmonious
pairing oil Of wings and Iocofocos, upon
questions with which politics could have
nothing to do, then We will agree to take
hack all these suggestions and limitations.
We have seen enough to satisfy us, that 10
the untagons,ic feelings engendered by
party politics, should be attributed the
greater portion OF the laundering and incf-
ficicnt legislation which has unfortunately
marked our brief career. We happancd to
he present when wing member OF the
Convention Of lS4l, rose TO offer an ame nd.
mcnt to an article then under considcrn-
ton, and just at that moment locoioco
friend stepped up behind him, and whisper
cd, "Don't offer that amendment, wish 70
vote Tor il, but il you cfler it, il will be vo-
ted down." This democrat was an honest
man, and wished the amendment Of his
wing friend Incorporated, but he had seen
enough to know, that unless il came from
tho locotoco side Of the house, il must be
lost. Now this was pretty state Of things!
But we appeal to every man who has paid
the least attention TO the malign influence
Of party, to say il this was an uncommon
occurrence"
