FRnM TAMPICO.

The New ORLEANS Picavnne of the 7lh
instant announces the arrival OF the schoo-
ners Sarah and Major H. Bache from
Tampico, beth having sailed on the 9th
ultmo.
Bv these arrivals the most interesting
news relates 10 the American prisoners IN
Mexico. Ali the accounts, verbal and
written, agree that intelligence had been
received at Tampieo that Major Gaines
and Borland. Capt Clay, and the other
American prisoners in Mexico, had been
released and ordered to Tampico under a
large escort This escort was said to
consist of 900 men.
The verbal reports which have reached
us arc TO the effect that, when the pris.
oners had reached within $50 miles OF
i'ampico, they were met by Urea, who
detained them rs prisoners. The story
is further, that Urea had ordered out al
he men OF the country that could be rails.
ed for the purpose Of making an attack
upon IamPico. ltappears 10 be certain
that such was deemed the immineDcy o
All attack that three companies Of the lltf
infantry, which were waiting at Tamplco
| for transportation 10 Vera Cruz, were or
dered up into the city. Every man there
was under arms expecting The town TO bt
attacked.
We have heard so frequently of the ap
prehensions of an immediate attack upoi
Tsmpico that very little attention is pal,
to them. The present alarm appears tt
be better founded than usual. We see NJ
reason to doubt the report Of the release
Of our prisoners, of their encounierins
! Urea, and his treatment of them.

THE ADMINISTRATION ON THE BREAE-
os-THREArs-LoAN BILL--No PRos-
pECr OF PEACE. Who is James K. Polk ?
The Polk party have now got the vessel OF
State upon the breakers, before they have
sailed one half of the voyage. They have
placed our country in the dreadful situation
which We predicted they would 1ney have
involved US in war, squandered the publc
money. run in debt, disturbed and broken
down our safe system Of finance and are now
preparing to criminate and recrimnate eaeh
other. and thus to weaken the bonds OF the
Union by creating Northern and Southern
sections Of the same great party.
There are dreadful threats made tonight
The refusal to tax tea and coffee, and to ere
ate the Office of Field Marshal, with the eX-
hibtion made by Preston King, III favor OF
Excluding Slavery from all the new territory
has thrown discord and divisions Ito their
ranks. There is talk Of dissolutions OF the
Cabinet and of the Union. Whether 1t Will
go farther than threats we shall see.
Tho Committee Of Ways and Means have
under consideration a loan bill. They are
sadly puzzled to know exactly what to do.
1t is supposed that vast sums OF Treasury
notes of small denominations must be issued
1t is curious that the President has but one
member in each of the comnttees-on Mill
tary Affairs and of Ways and Mcans-out OF
six political friends on each, in favor OF his
schemes of finance and tactics in conducting
the war.

am very sorry that there should be a disagree
mont among the counties as to books; but as nearly
all agree with tho State recommendation, why not
adopt that, as much talent was there combined
in making selections, and they were doubtless made
by persons feeling the weight Of their responsibility.
But farther argument on this point is unnecessary
All will acknowledge the benefits ofsuch agreement.
Our booksellers generally have taken very com
mendable course. They have furnished themselves
with only those books that are recommended orusc,
and endeavor to discourage the purchasing of any
others to be used as school books And for this they
will have their reward
But the course pursued by some others, especial
~ heads of academies is far different. Many of our
teachers are pupils from the neighborng academies,
and carry with them to the schools they teach all the
peculiar notions entertained by the principals and
tutors of their respective schools; and will seldom
permit text book in school that is not used by
their alma mater Is this right? Oughtthey not to
DO qualified to teach from such books as fifteen as
competent mon as the state affords shall say arc the
most proper?
Certainly they ought or they should not be per
mitted to teach at all. Such persons surely cannot
be aware of the amount of injury they arc doing
They setting an example, which if followed by
succeeding teachers, will keep up the evil so general
y lamented. And if they have the least feeling for
the welfare of those under their charge they will at
once determine to conform to the recommendation,
Let Superintendonts see that no other books are in
t1oduced into tho schools under their iursdction.-
Let parents be careful not to purchase stray books,
and to purchase proper ones when needed, and wo
