Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1847-10-15

We give to-day in other columns all the
intelligence which has reached US since the
date of our last publication. The accounts
are still vague and unsatisfactory They are,
however, much more favorable and reliable
than those published last week. That Gen'l
Scott is in undsputed possession of the city of
Mexico, there can be no doubt. That our
losses have not been anything like what they
were reported by the Mexican papers, the
news which we publish today will assure
every one. We are glad, really reioiced, to
find that the report of the death of Generals
Smith, Worth, and Pillow, was unfounded.
We trust that in a few days we shall have
more authentic details, as bearer of despatch
es has gone through to Washington from
Tampico
We gather, from all the " lights before u.s.
that the Mexlcans continue as obstinate as
eyer, and that any hopes of peace from a trea-
~ are farther removed than six months since
Speculation upon the probable result of our
operations in that misguided and unfortunate
land, would be vain Indeed, we doubt wheth-
er there is man in the Union who has any
distinct idea of when or how this war is to
end. Its termination seems Just now to be in
VoIVed IN the deepest obscurity. We shall
continue to lay before our readers all the in
teIhgence bearing upon this momentous ques-
ton which may come into our possession
The NEXT HOUsE-The result of the Ma
ryIand election, will undoubtedly give the
wings small majority in the next House of
Representatives. Mississippi and Lou siana
cannot alter this result We shall look with
considerable interest to the proceedings of the
House If the wings stick up to what they
have hitherto protested, we presume that they
will make some move to withdraw the troops
from Mexico But will they do this, now
that they have majority ? or will they refuse
to vote suPplies' We predict that they will
not dare do one or the other We have no
doubt but that they will throw every embar-
rassment they can in the way of the admin
istratjon, but they will not dare either to re-

troops. Time, however, will shew.
TIE NORTH CAROLINA REGIMENr.-Wc
would call the attention OF the reader 10 the
two articles in to-day's paper, taken from the
Iarboro' Press. They are well written and
place the matter in its true light We trust
that one day the people of North Carolina
mill ho,ra tIo bol. e. Iof IL
they can Judge whether the Loco Foco'
Press has been more severe upon Col Paine,
han he teally deserved
COMING TO TIE poINT.--So the cat is at last
out of the bag. Gen. Taylor, after wonder
full quantity of mystifcation, in d late letter
addressed to DR. Bronson, of Charleston, S
C., and published in the IntelIigencer, says
hare Meier get exercised the privilege Of
votjng; bit had / been called upon at The ias
Preydent1dt election 10 do so, | should moSi
rerta Mig hare cast my u0te for AlY. C(dy"
This, we presume, has been thrown out for
the purpose OF giving the wings TO understand
publicly what his Gen. Taylors) politics are
Finding that his neutral course was not favor
ably received by any one, and ascertainine
that if there was any chance for his being run
as a candidate for the Presidency, that chance
lay with the wings Gen. Taylor lets it ou
that he would have voted at the last election
for Mr.. Clay This is pretty broad hint
and perhaps may have the effect with the
whig party for which it was intended. We
shall see what we shall see.
