Further Information.

The above article was prepared for yesterdays
"Union,' but crowded out by other matter. Since its
composition, we have to-day intelligent officer
Immediately from the army OF Maj Gen Scott. He came
in the last train from the city of Mexico, and confirms
the speculatons in the above He states that the
Mexcans are unwilling to us quit their coun-
try that they declare their lives and property have never
been so safe under the protection of army; and
that they are apprehensive, if retire. OF seeing
their country again torn pieces by contendng fac
tons and military oppressors. This gentleman is OF
opinion (and it is the general opinion of the army
that we shall have peace only by throwing more
troops into the country to assist those who are al
ready there These are able to retain the capital,
the road to Vera Cruz, and keep the guerillas at
bay But additional renforcements would make ex-
cursions to proper points whenever it proper to
extend our conquests, from State TO State, and from
capital to capital and to command the rich mines,
of which are within forty miles of the capital Every
effort has been made to cover up these mnes under the
guise OF British ownership, through the inventive genius
of British agent in Mexico 1t is the opinion OF the
officer alluded to, that should also exact contrbu
TONS by means OF such taxes upon property as were
levied by the Mexcans themselves. Our informant en-
tertans little doubt that, by thus bringing the war nearer
to the Mexicans they would be disposed to seek for
ceparticulary if our troops should throw their pro-
lection over the people for short time
These general representations of the state of things in
Mexico are confirmed from many quarters that we can
not hesitate believe them; and were we at liberty, we
could name authority nearer to Mexico. and even
more reliable because founded upon longer and
intimate acquaintance with the character and the feel
ings of her people.

frank manly, and single hearted soldier he years
gone by-changed in nothing, if except diidence

cordial hospitality in the grasp of his handan old
fashioned, honest welcome in the candor of his greet
ing-a generous straightorwardness IN his whole bear

surance of man" The natural gentleness of his heart
