LATER FROM MEXICO.

The Mexican Geneyais-Ine Defence Of tie Capi
tai Gne,rilias- The american Armv-Saata
Anna- JPithara,cal Of has Resignation The
Clergy, &C., &c.
We have received our Mexican papers from
the 30th of May to the 9Th OF June, inclusive.
They contain little OF moment, bat as almost
every thing from that country is al present read
with interest, we shall give briet synopsis Of
their contents.
TRE MEXICAN GENERALs.-General Arisa
was apprehended on the evening OF The 29h OF
May, and was Immediately sent, under esee!.,
towards Acapulco. The reason Tor this arrest is
unknown. General Almonic was sill 10 prison,
and had been removed from ST. Jaso Tlalteloco
10 The city OF Guadalupe. He was at first accu-
sed of conspiring against the person of Santa
Anna, and afterwards accused, in some Of the
public journals, OF treason-but correspondent
OF the Republican, suggests that The sole mo-
tive for his Imprisonment is that ne is TOO great
friend 10 his country 10 suit The purposes OF
those in power. General Ampudia having re-
fused to proceed 10 Cuernavaca, as ordered, was
sent thilher under escort.
THE Defence OF THE CAplTAL.-On the Isl
of June, all the natives of the United States
were ordered 10 leave The City If Mexico, for The
States Of Jalisco or Morelia, or they would be
dealt with according 10 The law If nations. &C.
nerals Gutiersz, Goana, Martinez and Palomno
are entrusted with the command oil The lines of
defence of the city. Bodies OF The National
Guard are said 10 be on their way, and con-
Sanlly arriving from the adjoining States, and il
Is believed that from seventeen 10 twenty ihou.
sand troops will be concentrated for The prctec.
iiop OF the city.

Wing, then, from This source, IS without force; un'
less the Wing leaders Of the South, as we cannot
believe, mean to give way and coincide with their
Northern brethren upon question which ought to
be stripped of all party influence. II they DO
this their party in the South is instantly rent into
pieces.
Whatever the signs OF The times may indicate,
we still believe that the whole Democracy Of the
Union, in council assembled, will select some
man as their candidate who will prove true 10 the
principles laid down in the above resolutions, and
protect The rights of the South and the Union.
The Democracy Of Georgia have spoken in Ian
guage which will meet with response from The
Democratic party Of the whole South; and
whatever course the politicians OF the North may
assume, We believe that the mass Of The Demo-
cracy of the North will in 4 spirit OF justice and
devotion TO the Union, and The compromises OF
the Constitution, meet their brethren upon the
middle ground OF harmony and strength.

CAPT. WILLIAMS AND GEN. PILLOW.

In justice 10 an absent officer, we feel bound,
(says the New Orleans Delta,) TO notice stale
ment made by the Louisville Journal, and the
correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot, in rela-
lion 10 the controversy which so unhappily
arose between Colonel Haskell and General Pill
low. The statement, We refer 10 is, mat Inc GAL
liant Captain Williams, of The Kentucky indie
pendent Company of Volunteers, who was on The
right OF Haskels regiment in The charge al Ger
70 Gordo, had confirmed The statements contained
in Col. Haskells communication. That this is
incorrect, any one who reads Captain Williams
report will perceive. The Captains account
concurs, in every essential point, with The report
of The affair as given in Pillows DESPATCH and
SO far from confirming Haskell's statements, we
know, from the best authority, that when that
communication was read 10 him, and he was re-
guessed 10 subscribe TO it, he refused positively,
stating that it was mol correct and neither its OBJ
iec, nor its spirit met with kis approval. Such
an opinion, and such course, might have been
expected from one who is as noble specimen OF
The clizen-soldier as ever went forth 10 battle in
The cause OF his country.

VIII the Enquirer be pleased to put its finger upon
the line or word where We have made any such
such determinations Richmond Republican.
We did moi mean 10 convey The impression
that the Republican employed The language quo
ted, which is we'll known line Of doegrel in The
famous era OF "Tip and Ty." The course OF
The Republican, however, juslifes The substance
Of what we said. After reading Gen. Taylor's
leller, with The Signals editorial TO which the
letter refers, the Republican still supports The old
General as jealousy as ever. Now, 10 say The
least, that Letter. taken in connection with The
Signals editorial, is calculated 10 throw some
doubt upon Gen. TayloI's position as member
OF The Wing parry, or his willingness 10 carry out
Wing measures. Still the Republican, without
waiting Tor future revelations, advocates Gen
Tayor's election as il The whole future were
unveiled and his candidate were demonstrated
TO be full-blooded Wing. This was wha. we
meant by employing The words "withont why
or wheretore;" and will not The county say that
the Republicans curiosity is most easily salts

An, joys may gladden., hopes may beam
Upon thy pathway here,
And Young lie bring its rosy dream,
Unmarked by grief or care;
Youths hours may glide on fairy wing,
And wait thee Loves warm kiss,
And bright wing Peace around thee ding
Her flowerels OF bliss.
Yet, hopes will fade, and joys depart,
And young life lose lis bloom
While age will cast upon thy heart

Thy joys will fade, as fades the beam

THIRD CONGRESSIONAL. DISTRICT.
ALI our information from this district, (says the
Lynthburg Virginian) induces US 10 believe that
MIR. Trcdway is elected, though Mr.. Flournoy
has the return by majority Of one rate. Il is The
unanimous wish Of the Democracy Of the district
that MIR. Tredway should contest The election OF
Mr.. F., as il can scarcely be doubted that he is le-
eally and Justly entitled 10 the seat 1t is burn
ing shame that so srong Democratic district
should be misreprcsented by man, who enter
lains no political principle in common with
large majority OF his constituency. II is for Inc
Democracy OF The dislrc, TO say whether or not
,hey will thus suffer themselves 10 be misrcpre.

that their righttul voice in the national legislature
is not drowned By minority representative.

MILITARY CANDIDATES.

The Wings Of Georgia seem 10 have Iepudiat-
ed the former incorporating hostility OF The
Wing party TO The elevation Of military chief
tains." Their State Convention just adjourned
has nominated for Governor OF Georgia General
Duncan L. Clinch-he having received on The
Sd bao, Il2, and all others l07. They have
gone farther, and recommended Gen. Taylor as
the next President OF the United States, "teing
assured OF his identity with US (lhe Wigs in
principle" Had they seen his Signal letter, they
might have pursued different course. In iha-
letter he unequiyocally declares that he can in
no case permit himself 10 be The candidate OF any
party, or yield himself 10 party schemes. And,
commenting upon This fixed determination, the
Times, leading Wing organ, declares that "ihe
Wing party cannot be expected 10 surrender their
organic alton and their prinaples, for The purpose
OF elevaling him 10 the Presidency"
II Gen. Taylor be Wing in the view OF The
Georgia Wing Convention, he is Wing OF a
very different species from what's represented oy
the Richmond Times.

now sufficiently recovered to travel, will address

WHAT WOULD THE WINGS DOL


The Wings are very much given TO pfophesyins.
They cannot qui, it, although fnl6lment Of one
OF their predictions would be almost a miracle
Suppose, now, they should, most unfortunately
for themselves, get The power 10 control this gov
ernmen and we're called upon 10 manage our re-
,aions with Mexico; and suppose further that
they had any regard for their own country. and
their own consistency. Let us see what they
would do. First, Withdraw The army back 10 the
Rio Granie--no, 10 the Nueces. But Mexico
would contend that her territory extended TO the
Sabine. What would stuluiied Whggery say :?
Could not Mexico show 10 The full satisfaction
OF all the world that The wrong done her
in anuexing Texas had been acknowledged
in the most ample manner py Inc universal
Wing party2 Well, the army must come back
10 the Sabine, or pay the price OF Texas 10 Mexi-
CO. or our country must be officially branded with
acknowledged knavery. This mater being SET
lied, Mexico demands indemnify Tor The accursed
war. the numerous murders, the enormous expen-
SOS incurred. &c. The three millions would be
needed 10 propitiate Santa Anna, and how many
millions more would repay Mexico for what ste
has suffered and expended? We should like 10
see committee consisting OF Prentice, Corwin,
hlcGanebev. Gddings, &c, PROSTATE before San
IA Anna. kissing mis- wooden leg implorins his
forgiveness Tor injuries acknowledged 10 be dark
and damnable. Would mol The scene be rich

1t is very prepos'erous to suppose that The
Wings would do this, some may think. Perhaps
i, is. Ii is preposlerous to suppose that they,
would do right. If The ground they have assumed
be correct they are bound by every principle OF
Justice 10 make the most humble confessions to
Mexico and lie world; and if they will not do ii,
they mus, proclaim 10 all mankind their utter
desiitulion of all moral principle. They must
have The brazen fIronicry 10 persist in wrong
The darkest and most accursed that The world has
ever seen-al The same lime refusing 10 make re-
paration. II il were not too serious matter Tor
The honor Of The country, ii would be amusing
enough TO see the Wing party gel The power they

cumstances peculiar propriety exists fol
increasing the officers, especially in the
higher grades. The number of such
officers, who from age and other circum-
stances, are rendered incapable of active
service in the field, has seriously impair
ed The efficacy Ofihe army.
From the report of the Secretary oil
War, it appears that about two-thirds oil
the whole number ofregimental field of.
ficers are either permanently disabled,
or are necessarily detached from their
commands on other duties. The long
enjoyment of peace has prevented us
from experiencing much embarrassment
from this eause: bat now in a state OF
war, conducted in a foreign country, il
has produced serious injury to the pubic
service.
An efficient organization ofthe army,

while prosecuting the war in Mexico, il
Is believed, would require the appoint.
ment of a General officer to take the com.
mand OF all our military forces in the

Upon the conclusion ofthe war the ser.

with upon the reduction of the army to a

recommend that provision be made
by law for the appointment Of such gen.

1t is respectfully recommended that
early action should be had by Congress

the war before the present favourable
season for military operations in the en-.
