OCR CONSUL AT f1AVASA.-t viii be re.
membered that when the news of Paroles ar
rived here, several presses, and ourselves in
the number, censured Mr.. Campbell, our con-
sui at Havana, for not having sent person
on the steamer with Paroles, that the autho
rites at Vera Cruz might be informed of his
arrival at the earliest possible moment. We
have received from Havana the following let
ter, defending Mr.. Campbell, and in Justice to
him publish it:--[N. o. Pieayune
HAVANA, Sept 25, IS47.
Editors Of the Picaytne-I perceive. that
there has been some excitement in New Or
leans in relation to the landing of Paroles in
Vera Cruz. and disposition TO attach some GEN.
sure to the American consul for not having
taken Such steps as would have acquainted
Gov. Wilson with the fact of his (Paredes)
being on board the British steamer
= 1t is generally understood in this city that
the consul had taken the necessary steps that
ne wrote to Gov. Wilson, and also to the COL
lector OF Vera Cruz; and fearing the landing
OF Paroles might be effected before letters could
reach those gentlemen through the post Office,
he sought some other mode of sending his
communications. This was offered by Mr.. A.
| H. Carpenter, who had been attached to the
quartermaster's department of Vera Cruz, and
who stated that he had an acquaintance on
| board the steamer who would take charge of
the letters and deliver them on the first visit
of the boat from the custom house. This was
to all appearance the best mode which could
be selected, unless special agent was en-
ployed for the purpose OF delivery, and have
no idea that any agent could have been enga-
ged for less sum than from five to six hun
dred dolars-and, would the U. S. Govern
ment have sanctioned such an expenditure for
purpose apparently so useless For Paroles
was we'll known in Vera Cruz, and it would
not have been deemed probable that he who
was known to so many could have cluded the
vigilance of our officers and have escaped from
the city, not that think his arrival in Mexico
is worthy of consideration. You will readily
perceive, on perusing the above. that no blame
can be attached to our consul in the affair.

THE NEXT PRESIDENCY IN THE HOUSE,
One thing connected with the next House OF
Representatives must be gratifying to every
Democrat Should the election OF President
be thrown into that body, which we by no
means anticipate, the Democrats will have a
decided majority of the States. Of the q
States that have already voted, - have elec-
ted Democratic majorties, y have returned
Wing majorities, and 3 are tied. Two States
Mississippi and Louisiana, have yet to elect
and they will certainly send Democratic dele
cations The Wings will have a numerical
majority of about in the House.

DrSERr1oN. Every incentive is held out
by the Mexican authorities to induce the
American soldiers to desert Large sums Of
money are offered to any individuals who may
desert and bring with them number of their
comrades Ten dollars in cash, and I" scrip"
for 200 acres Of land, is offered by Santa Anna
to every private who may desert and present
himself before him or some other command
ing officer. An infammatory address is put
forth by Santa Anna, particularly addressed
to the Irishmen in the American army. We
venture 70 say that the wholesome lesson
taught this "kind OF cattle" by Gen. Scott,
when he executed the " foreign battalion,' will
put stop to this Infamous practice.

"A Texan.

{: An old Texan, on the afternoon OF the 23d
September, got strayeG away from his comrades
by some accident in the streets Of Monterey,
and fell in with company Of the regular infan-
try. These he half Joined, fighting partly on
Shis own account while at the same time he en-
deavored to conform as much as possible to the
discipline Of his new acquaintance. In addi-
ton to heavy fire Of grape from the batteries,
there was an incessant rafting of small arms
from the tops of the neighboring buildings; but
the worst customers OFF troops had to contend
with were an old man and boy, upon the roof
Of the nearest house, who were loading and fir
ing their escopetas as fast as possible, and with
an accuracy Of aim that killed or cripple at
every shot. The regulars had discharged their
muskets at them several times, yet without eff
feet; but now came the turn of the old Texan
Watching his chance, he waited until both the
old man and his son raised themselves above the
parapet No sooner did he get them in range
than he cracked away, and with such unerring
aim that the same ball pierced both. "DuBsp'
calculated the old veteran, as the twain stagger-
cd and fell, and as he said it, be brought the
breech of his rifle to the ground with jerk that
well nigh broke the stock. Those who have
not yet forgotten their marbles will be more
than half inclined to laugh at the carnestness of

the Taos RabJfe
The Steamer Archer, from the Mlssou-
ri river, brings US the following interest
ing intelligence. Letters in our possession
give further details, bu, The independence
Expositor, extra, below, contains the facts
-sufficient for this evening:
Thomas Caldwell, Esq, has just got in
from the plains. and confirms the sad in.
telligence of the massacre at Taos. Gov.
Chas. Bent aud twenty five Americans are
the victims OF cold blooded assassination.
Among the dead is S. l.. Waldo, citi-
zen of our county, and brother to Capt
avidWaldo, Of Col. Complains regiment
Mi. Caldwell left Ell Paso on the 18th
January, and Santa Fe on the 81 Februa-
ny. He saw nothing Of Capt. sublet,e,
and heard nothing of his Whereabouts
He left Col. Doniphan in possession Of Ell
Paso, waiting for the artillery to arrive,
when he intended TO move for Chihuahua.
Nothing was known in New Mexico Of
the change in Gen. Wool's position.
The insurrectionists consisted Of about
1000 men and started for Santa Fe. Col.
Price sent out about 300 men to quell
them. They met about % miles from
Santa Fe, when an engagement took place.
The Mexicans drew up 1000 strong, but
at the first fire from our brave Missouri
boys. thirty. six Of them fell dead and The
balance fled.
Capt. MORN, Of Platte, who was in COM
mand, pursued them through the Moro
valley, and burned to ashes every house,
town, and rancho in his path. The inhab.
itants fled to the mountains, where they
are bound to starve, as NORM leaves them
nothing whatever to subsist on-a Just
retribution for their assassination Of inno-
cent people.
As Mr. Caldwell was passing out he
heard at distance the sound Of artillery,
and learned, from rumor in the edge of
the settlements, that the American army
had whipped them worse than ever. Capt
Hendly, Of the Ray county volunteers, was
the only one killed on our side, and some
seven slightly wounded.
