Interested in education, to this work. Ii has been he

preference, both of Teachers and Scholars. all
others. Rev. J. T. Ely, of Railway, N j., after hav-
Eg used il in his Seminary year, says" II is
superior to any other Geography with which |
acquainted " Y. Drew Esq. of the English and Cas-
steal Institute of the city of New York, gives the
same testimony of it. as do also than hun
dred individuals who have examined it.
L. Nason Esq Principal of the Latin II igh School,
Newburypcrt says" 1t is concise, well arranged and
teachable. Every thing is in the right place TO
those who measure reading by the yard stick MIR.
Warren's book will appear small, and my reply IL
that the most valuable goods come in the smallest
p,ckages. To those teachers who understand the
advantages of skful classification. will find this

Rev. Mr.. Peabody, of Portsmouth, says-s feel
convinced that by the of this Geography the pnpi

Further from Mexico.

Gen. Santa Anna was to leave Tehuacan on
the 22d fer Queretaro. We therefore may
expect soon to hear the news of the overthrow
of the Government of Mexico.
Many members of the Congress, displeased
with the election of the new president, gave
up their seats, and retired in disgust from tie
city of Qucretaro. However there remained
yet more than the fixed number which is re-
quired to form quorum.
On the 9th Nov Gen. Scott minated to
the editor of paper (N Judio E'rante) that
if he continued the publication OF articles
calculated to create disturbances, he would
stop the publication of his paper and cause the
prir ting materials to be sold for the benefit OF
the poor.
On the 18th Nov. the bearer of dispatches
from the Government at Washington to Gen
Scott reached his destination, accompanied by
200 dragons, and delivered his Dispatches
Much sensation was created by the arrival OF
thes. dispatches, and the greatest anxiety
prevailed among the inhabitants as to the con-
tents of the instructions received 10y the COM
mander-in- chief
Two teamsters were executed at Jalapa on
the 23d Nov. for the murder of ayOung Next
can.
On the Oath Ambrosia Alcalde, lieutenant
in the 18th regiment, M. A., and Antonio
Garcia, adj utant in the Sth regiment Nj. A,
were hung in the plaza at Jalapa. They were
taken prisoners on the Doth, with Col. Rebol-
ledo, and it was proved that they had given
their parole at the capitulation of Vera Cruz
not to take up arms against the United States.
Rebolledo and Covarrubias were sent to
Perotc on the Oath. The first has also been
under parole; but he says he has been ex-
changed.
The road at present is entirely opened be.
tween Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico, and
small parties can travel without danger.
The Bells of the churches of Guamajuato
have been pulled down for the purpose of
casting pieces of artillery.
1t is reported that Gen. Valencia has be-
come crazy, in consequence OF his defeat at
Churubusco.
The Vera Cruz Indicator says:-There is
trouble in the American camp at headquarters.
Generals Worth and Pillow and Col. Duncan
are all under arrest for "disrespect to their SUI
perior officer" which superior officer is Gen.
Scott himself. 1t is said that original drafts
of certain letters are in possession of Gen.
Scott, which contained evidence confirming
suspicious long ago entertained with regard to
the participation of certain parties referred to
therein, in their concoction.

Anti War Meeting in New York.

The antiwar meeting in Lexington has cal
led forth response from New York. A large
meeting was held in that city on the evening
of the Goth, in which strong speeches were
made, and strong resolutions passed against
both the war and the extension of slavery.
These resolutions, we doubt not, express the
sentiments of large majority of the North,
and considerable portion of the South, and
if Congress would only act up to what its
members know to be right by putting stop at
once to the mad projects of the President, it
would be sustained by the people. But there
is great danger that there will be found enough
men among the majority of the House who do
not possess nerve enough for the occasion, who
will waver, and thus give the administration
all 1t asks, with the hope of holding it re-
sponsible. Such men should recollect the use
that Folk has already made of the vote of the
Wing members for the supplies, and learn a
lesson from that. If few such are found it
will be unjust to charge the whole Wing party
with the evil results which may follow from
the course of these men, 1t will be the height
OF untairness, yet it will be done. If supplies
are granted, let them be for the purpose of
securing peace-of rescuing our army from
the situation in which the President has placed
it. No one will object to appropriations for
such purpose.

Summerton was q friend of the hero of
North Bend-so also was the merchant, who
was gratiied that the drayman, whose peculiar
talents he admired, was of the same party
with himself. He did not doubt, the dray-
man, who had acquired as he supposed, con-
siderable money in his business, and was able
even now, to live without personal labor,
would become man of distinction. Novelty
lent her charms to the case. and Mr.. Boutng
was certainly in love with Summerton.
After a brief conversation, Mr.. Bouting
again invited him to call at his house.
He called in the evening, but found the
merchant absent. This event was not much
regretted by Summerton or Helen. 1t was an
opportunity each had secretly desired, al
though neither had expressed it.
The evening passed pleasantly away. Hell
en- was no less delighted than surprised at the
superior intelligence of her humble visitor.
She felt herself in the presence OF one OF
superior qualities whose mind was highly
cultivated. and who would be an honor to
society. Helen Bouting, probably saw this
sooner than most other young ladies would
have done. Her own feelings consulted and
there would not be so wide differences among
different castles in society.

Massacre of Indians by American
TROOPS

Cincinnati, Dec. 20-P. M.-.We are in
possession of Santa Fe intelligence to the 18th
of October, that that place had been scene of
fris htful massacre of Indians.
On the 25th, Indians were observed at some
distance from the fort, and were supposed to
number some 20 or 100. The chief of the
band visited the fort, and was cordially invited
in by Capt. Pettenger, the senior officer The
Indians were also invited to enter, which they
did. While in the fort they became suspi
cious, in consequence of certain movements of
the troops, that harm was intended them.
The Indians attempted to escape out of the
fort, and in dong so four were killed and two
wounded. Three others, who were at Capt.
Pettenger's, and had taken refuge in his quar-
tiers, were killed.
Fifteen or twenty Indians were wounded on
the outside of the fort, five of whom were not
expected to recover. Col. Gilpin was absent
at Fort. Bent. This massacre is regarded as
an infamous and unprovoked affair. The In
dams were Pawnees. Traveller.
