DEATH OF SILAS WRIGHT.

When men die it is common to cast the mantle
OF forgiveness over their errors, to acknowledge
their virtues, and bury political and personal hos
Utility In their graves. In the death of Sas Wright
the country has lost over whom all parties sin
cerey mourn, for it his lot in life never to pro
woke that rancorous hatred which most prominent
politicians arouse and to receive from men of every
party the same tribute of respect for his virtues and
admiration of his abilities, which is now freely of
fered at his tomb
Mr.. Wright was, without doubt, the ablest de-
batter in the democratic ranks. His Senatorial eff
forts were models OF close and clear arguments
In his discussion OF great questions, he never, tina,
we recollect, degenerated into personality. Could
all Congressional debates be conducted i'm the tenn
per and taste which distinguished MIR. Wrght's
whole parliamentary career, the spirit of party
would never have been known as frebrand Of
discord and strife in the community, but have be-
come, what it ough. to be, generous rivalry for
the public good.
MIR. Wright, at the time OF his death, was fifty
two. not fifty five years of age, as we learn from
one of his intimate friends We had thought him
a much older man. He has been cut down in the
very meridian Of his splendid fame. At the very
moment when the eyes OF his party were fixed up
on him as the standard bearer for the next cam paon
he has fallen, suddenly, in an instant, without
warning. What commentary upon the uncer-
tainty of earthly things, and upon the vanity and
ltteness of human ambition. Its brightest fruits
are full of bitterness. and the hand that would
seize them is often paralyzed just as they are about
TO fall in its grasp Richmond Republican

FROM YUCATAN.

BY arrival at New Orleans from Campeachv
the Editors ofLa Patrin have late dates from Yu.

ltaPPears that conspiracy had been entered
into among the Indians Of various villages for an
instruction. One Of them who was entrusted with
the secret tratorously divulged it to the Governor
OF Falladolid. Through his management the prin-
clPals implicated in the affair were arrested and
executed, the cacique, Antonio Ay, being the first.
AS soon as this became known the Indians rose in
some of the villages and massacred all the whites

PAREDES.

The landing OF this Mexican General ut Vera Cruz,
ms entrance into the city aud subsequent cxital
without question or examination the part Of the
American authortics-furnish evidences of apparcn
and neglect which are anything but credit
able to people Were the facts not directly other
wise, would be difficult TO believe that in the very
peculiar circumstances under which the city of Vera
Cruz Is now held by an American armed force Bri
tsh Government steamer would be permitted TO enter
the harbor IN open day and land more of her
passengers at the public pier OF the city, without
least the preliminary forms of permission first asked
and obtained. II has been suggested BY way of sol
wing TINS dirciction oil duty, that nasmuch the cf
forts TO effect peace with Mexico have thus far pro-
yea aooiuvc, our Government may really have dcsr

INTO vera Cruz ana subsequent escape into the interior
may, in the of Santa Anna have been broue hit
about with the sanction of our President This expa-
nation Tor which, however. there is foundation but
vague surmisc, would il true put cnti rely different

The New Orleans Picayune, speaking of this subject
says
''From Vera Cruz we learn that Senior Atocha met

him. Parcdcs is understood to have signifed to hip

u
Dear -: We are still without any definite
| news here as TO the prospects of peace or war
The reports which reach us are Of the most contra
dictOry character, and it is impossible to make any
| thing out of them. One day we hear that the
terms ola treaty have been nearly arranged, and
the next, that the MeHicans are in active prepare
ton for more vigorous prosecution Of the war, and
are actually investing Gen. Scott. and cutting off
his communication with Vera Cruz In this state Of
things, must ask you therefore, to look elsewhere
for information as regards the true condition of az
fairs. Here, all is inactivity and deep repose, and
likely TO remain so, from every thing can learn
of the amount OF force which Is to be thrown upon
the line; although general order, I understand,
was read on parade at Camp, few evenings ago,
announcing the probability Of an early forward
movement II may be, however, and I think it
more than probable that il was only intended by
the Commanding Officer to stimulate the troops.
and keep them up more strictly to their duty, which
the very llsessness Of our lives is rather uniting
us for. No one, who has not experienced il, can
form any just idea Of the rksomeness of mere camp
or garrison duty. II is to the soldier what the
dead calm at sea Is TO the sailor-and any change
even the storm Of battle, as in the case of the
latter CONFUSION Of the elements, is considered
preferable
