RICHMOND, Nov. lst, P. Nj.
Vera Cruz dates of the 18th, received al
New Orleans Oh the 25'h ult,, state, that
Santa Anna with 5000 men entered Puebla
on the 25th of September, and addressed a
note TO Col. Childs, asking him to surrender,
10 which the latter replied, that he was fully
able TO maintain his position, and would do
so.
On the 9th the Mexicans commenced a
heavy cannonude on the Americans, while
the latter threw cannon shots, bombs and
grenades into the centre of the city, which
suffered considerable irjury.
On the 2Sth the cannonade recommended,
and by order of Santa Anna, breast works of
Cotton bales we're raised, 10 protect the city
from The destructive fire of the Americans.
To prevent the completion of the breast
works, Col. Childs turned the battery Of San
Jose upon the men who where engaged on
the work.
On the 20lh partial tranquility prevailed
in the city, and Gen. Rea ordered the bat
terry 10 open upon San Jose.
Santa Annals army had all deserted, ex-
cept l40 personal generals, who, with their
leader marched 10 Oajaca, and after their de-
parture the city was comparatively quiet.
The expeditions against the Guenilas,
planned by Gen. Patterson, had returned al
ter having successfully encounted and dis
persed several parties.

DOMESTIC HArrrNEss.--Truly has il been
said, that there is not on earth state so like
that of heaven as domestic happiness; and
none so like that ofhellas the opposite. Wo!
mans power is that gen,leness; the power
that can tnme lion, and subdue the savage
nature Of human passion; sighs, tears, the
p.esding looks Of uncomplaining though
wounded affection, will surely reach the b(t-
ter pats ofihe heart, when angry looks
would surely destroy all chance OF rcconcl-

Tho wars OF our country cannot a'lto he
popular; there is about the people of this coun-
try, native and naturalized, real attachment
to it, an impulsive patriotism, which makes
them ready 10 avenge its wrongs, and to as
sert lis rights, even at the loss of blood and
treasure. Blood is freely bestowed, money
even yet more literally, for such purpose,
and opposition 10 onr country when thus en-
gagged brings with il an universal odium,
which must sink those embarked in il. Ma
iior Noah, one of the Oldest and best Amer
ican editors, thus speaks on the subject,
what prevented De Wit Clinton, with all
his admitted abilities, his gigantic mind, and
incpayabc services to the State, reaching the
presidency? He opposed the war Of 1879,
and united with his political opponents.
Who after him can escape in similar circun,-
slancess We are earnest on this subject,
though having no interest in the result. We
wish TO see sensible men act like sensible po,.
iicians. Why war against fate? Why seek
cut down and PROSTATE rising generations
springing into power like a young Hercules? !?
Why insist upon feeble hands still retaining
the staff Of powcr2 We may struggle and
struggle 10 retain power with occasional sue
cess, but there is potent enemy which final
ly must overpower us--death The sover-
eighty is in the peepe-rulers and leaders can
moi alwars make them 'hewcrs Of wooo and
drawers of water;' and in this age, the young,
the ardent, the active and the laborious,wil
control the desiinies of party and the des,hics
of the country by their numerical strength.
We must endeavor 10 regulate where we can
no, control. and strive 10 prepare that class of
our fellow-citizens for possessing and holding
the high Offices of the country, by education,
sound principles, honest industry, aud tenn
rerate habits. These once acquired, let them
rule, and the republic is safe"

THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE pEo.
PIE.

In Ohio, Notwithstanding the boast Of the wings
q at the anti'war principle had received the
sanction of the people, an examination Of the pop
uar vote shows an actual majority in the State
for Democratic principles. In the election o!
Congressional delegates in Kentucky the Dem
ocrats also had a majority of the whole number
OF votes given. The election of Democratic gov
srnorsin the States of Maryland. Georgia and
New Jersey is certain index of the feelings Of
the massesin those States. Thus, in five States,
claimed as Wing, the popular vote is in favor Of
the measures Of the Administration. In New
Hampshire, which division had for time given
into the embrace Of whiggerr, the same result ia
obiained,-so in Pennsylvania, which was last fall
set down as permanent Wing State, Skunk is
elected by 10000 majority. In New York alone
is there an apparent verdict against the Demo-
cratic principles of the Administration. This,
however, is not real. The loss OF the State is
wholly owing to internal divisions among the
Democracy, not to the strength of the Wings,
and upon the great questions of Democratic pol
icy and upon the issue of the war with Mexico,
there 6x sts not difference between the two divis-
lens ofthe Democratic party in New York. The
difference there is upon the rules which shall
govern the territory when acquired. At the Her.
kimer Convention which met to denounce the
Democratic nominations, the general policy Of the
War and the Administration was sustained.
From these facts it is clear that, tho ugh in sev-
era of these States, by dishonest system Of dis
'ricting majority of the Congressional dslega-
ito ms are chosen in noppositon to the Democracy.
the Administration may safely claim that
the sentiments and approval of the majority Of
the people of these statesare in favor Of the war,
and in favor ofits prosecution in such manner
as shall maintain the honor of the American
name, give US indemnify for the past and securi.

towards thorough organization of party
until after The candidates are named. The
extreme importance of an early organiza-

want time to hold popular meetings. make
speeches aud to discuss the great ques-

sometimes happens that many persons strong

Tho citv of Baltimore is equally ohlec-
