EMIGRATION TO WESTERN VIRGINIA.
We learn that Thomas Rawlings, Esq, OF
Brook lyn,r eceived by the last steamer orders
for one thousand farms of 100 acres each
in all 10000 acres-in Western Virginia;
the whole tract being intended for Welsh
settlement to be commenced the coming
spring. OF the whole number intending TO
Join the colony not one can read English. Mr.
Rawlings has established agencies in differ
ent parts of England, Scotland, Ireland and
Wales, for the purpose of aflording facilities
to those who desire to emigrate to Western
Virginia, and we learn that many respecta-
bic farmers, possessing considerable capital,
are coming cut in the spring, thus making
room for those who must remain bel ind. Mr.
Rawlings will 90 out in Tie March steamer to
SUI erntcnd the execution Of his a Is. He
has made arrangements by which the money
Of The cMigranls will tie deposited in bank at
Richmond to await their arrival Arrange
ments have also been made to take the emf
grants from this port to Virginia without ex-
posing them to the impositions so frequently
practiced here by persons who represent
themselves as agents Of the various lines of
travel IrtbuHp.

graceful to the army. They are therefore,
strictly forbidden and any officer found
guilty of making such report for publication,
without special permission, or Of placing the
writing beyond his control, so that it finds its

The revival Of this rule at this time will of
course be understood as censure upon Gen.
Taylor for writing the letter lately published
(oI' course without his consenDn the Express
Our weak-headed Executive probably thinks
that if he can only stop the mouths Of those
who do the fighting and awe into silence
those at home who regard the war as a crime,
he will then be able to carry out his selfish
and ambitious schemes. He may find HIM
self mistaken, however. Ii our soldiers arc
not allowed to write 10 their friends an ac-
count Of what they suffer, they will hayeQ chose
of them who live) the more to tell when the
campaign is over They will doubtless know
how to appreciate the treatment they receive
from those in power, and so will their friends
at home, who are no longer to be permitted
to know what they are doing and suffering
for their country Tribune.

The National Debt.

The Debt grows fast upon Polk and Walk
er's hands: the new loan Of tceniy-hree mH-
ions has not only been required and granted,
but fue millions more have been added making
an addition TO the debt ofttceaty-eigH millions.
Add the existing debt, 81 millions, and the 0
millions OF treasury notes, to the % million
loan, and we have as the sum total Of indebt-
edness sIXTY-TWO MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
The Polk organ thus reports the remarks OF
Senator Niles of Conn. upon this loan bill:
He should probably vote for this bill, because
he was unwilling to oppose what seemed to
him to be the only resource oEthe government
to sustain Itself in the present crisis. 1t was
net, however, such q measure as they had d
right to expect from the scarce whence came.
He said these things with no satisfaction, but
he WAS compelled 20 say them; and if the war
should continue, how long would II be before
they would be called upon for another ttcehty-
cight millions ioun? For let him remind them
that this bill was not to raise twenty-three
millions simply; it renered Tie act Cftast Se$-
SO" 70" raising fire millions, and, therefore,
amounted to twenty-elght millions. lie never
expected to have heard in that chamber that
the Treasury of the United S ates WAS within
twenty-four hours of bankruptcy. The crisis
in winch they were placed was unprecedented.
They had no adequate revenue, and were
going on without providing any way of incres-
ing it. He should support this measure,t here
fore. from necessity; because they could do
nothing else, YetAe .teareI that it 'oas .fn,t9h
'oah cell 10 the currency ofHe country. They
were not without the lights, he predicted that
it would occasion depression Of the curren y
of the whole country to Il most misthievols
extent. In passing it, they were treaSuring
up wrath against the day of wrath and that
day Of wrath would come, and when it came
he fsarcd that they 'soald not be able to stand

The Latest Army News.

We have authentic information that on the
Ath Jan. Gen. Taylor was at Victoria, capital
of the State of TamauGpas, with 900
man. including the divisions of Gems. Twiggs
o litman and Patterson. Quitman's division
entered Victoria Dec. Goth, 1900 Mexican
cavalry retiring at his approach. The only
n,ishap which occurred on the march from
Montsrey,was the loss of eleven OF Col: May 5
DRAGONS in Il mountain pass which he had
ba9n exploring. This is called in the flash
accounts, GOT up for sale, an engagement
between Mays Dragons and the MeXcans."
1t was no engagement at all. After Mays
squadron were all through the pass, on their
return7 except the eleven men aforesaid
some rocks were tumbled down the precl-
pice by Mexicans, thereby separating the
rear guard from the main body, and compel
ling them to retreat. Whether any CT them
were killed or not is not known.
Victoria is about midway between Monte
rey and Tampico, being by the course travel
dabout 200 miles from each, Advices from
Victoria to the evening of Jan 9th were re-
ccivcd at Tampco on the 18th express We
lave no faith in the stories about great Mex
lean force being between Victoria and Mon
terey, nor do we believe that there was any
considerable force between Victoria and Tan
pico.
We expect next to hear that the force at
Victoria has arrived at Tampico; from which
point, we take it an army of about 600 men
will proceed by water to Tuspan, or perhaps
some place further South, and thence march
upon Vera Cruz. Immcnse quantities of boats,
shells, gun carriages, &C., have gone forward,
all indicating movement upon Vera Cruz
Formidable as are its Notifications, we be-
ilieve it can and will be captured within sixty
days including the castle of San Juan UIloa.
The iowa, we presume, is to be captured first,
and from behind it,heavy shells will be thrown
into the castle, accompanied probably by a
simultaneous movement on the part of our
ships of war.

mendments of the Senate to the ten Regiment
Bill. BY very large majority they disa-
greed to the amendments, striking out the
proViso which enables the PTtsiden mt TO appoint
officers to these regiments during the recess
of the Senate. The amendment relative 10
chapains WIS so altered as to permit brigade
officers to appoint one chaplain for each brig
AIDE, salary $500 and forage for one horse ;
also, requesting the chaplains now in the ser
vice to 20 to Mexico or be dismissed. The
amendment in regard to Eounties was 50
amended as TO allow 80 acres to those who
were called out for less than - months, pro
vided they were marched to the scat OF war

In the Senate Mr.. Fairfield reported bill

The Ten Regiment bill was received from
the House Of Representatives, and referred
to the committee on Military Affairs.
The remainder of the day was devoted to

In the House Mr. Wentworth made per-
sonal explanation in reply to an article III the
