The N. Y. Evening Pos. Of the 26.h ult,

The N. Y. Evening Pos. Of the 26.h ult,
in reference TO the late news fiom Europe,
says it:
Is Of a character 10 create rather more
activity in the markets than is atoge her
wholesome. The great increase in the
price of grain and cotton will naturally
lead 10 specula,ions. Every such consid-
cradle change in prices unsettles more or
less the sobIiety Of mercantile transactions
and gves rise TO extravagant hopes and
undertakings. The influx of specie INTO
the country, which increases with every
arrival, will furnish the basis OF new credits
and The means Of new enterprises. The
steamer which arrived yesterday from
Liverpool, brought out, according TO phi
vate letter, which we have seen. more
than two millions OF dollars, and one OF
the Boston ne wspapers makes it three mil
lions.
1t is fortunate that the indie pendent II eas>
ury scheme is now in full effect, 10 check
whatever is unhealthy and extravagant in
this spirit of enterprise, and assist in keep
ing down values TO the specie standard.

"CAMAEoo, Jan. 8, 1647.
DEAR FRIEND:-I came down from
Monterey yeterday with Col. Croghau,
who is en- route to Austin, Texas, author.
lied TO raise regiment Of Texan rangers
TO serve during the war From the most
au,eutc information have been able to
gather from Mex cans, nm strongly IN
the belief that blie was fought yester>
day two leagues this side of Victoria, be-
tween Gen. Quitman, with 1900 volun-
teets, and Gen. Urea, with $4,000 regu.
lar troops. Col. Croghan is not inclined
TO credit the report, but | consider the au,
thorty pretty good, conversed with the
Mexican who brought The express to Mier.
General Taylor is some six days in the
rear Of Gen. Qui,man with 5000 regular
troops. So, if Gen. Qutman should find
things too warm for comfort, he can fall
back on Gen. Taylo land their united for
ces can repel any attack which Urea NAV
make. Gen. Worth is still at Satilo, ha.
wing been reinforced by three regiments Of
volunteers from Ohio, Kentucky, and In
diana. Gen. Wool is in camp, fifteen
miles from Saillo, on the road to San La.
is Potosi. waiting orders. Santa Anna
can, if deemed expedent, reinforce Urea
[by the Tula pass] with large force. Mex
leans inform me that such is Santa Annals
intention, thinking to draw Generals Worth
Wool from Sallillo, when he would i'm
mediately occupy that place. Fifteen
hundred lancers are now lowering around
General WOODS encampmen', waiting q
favorable opportunity to strike.
sour troops still continue to suffer from
chils and fevers at every post.
General Scott is here, in Camargo, but
returnes again 10 morrow, to your city. |
suppose he will proceed from thence to
Tampico; at least such is the impression
here.
"If anything occurs worthy of note,
will write you again soon. Yours, truly,

be overlooked in our settlement with the
&c neral government. So far as the future
interests Of the Territory are concerned,
we hold il would be better that Congress
should exact The money, instead Of deduct
ing il from the lands 10 which we are en-
titled. II we squander our public proper
ty-the outfit which Congress gives US,
upon our setting up government for our
selves, where will be our public resources
out Of which TO create fund for the uses
Of the State? We need the FIVE hundred
thousand acres acres Of land, for produc.
tive property, from which TO derive fund
for educational and government purposes.
IF we waste these lands in paying for con-
ventions, where will be cur resources when
we shall have assumed State sovereignty
Is it wise and polite TO cripple the means
by which the education Of the masses may
be provided for? We repeat it then, it
would be better for the future welfare OF
Wisconsin, should Congress require every
dollar We take from the canal fund, to be
paid back in cash, rather than have the
amount subtracted fiom the lands TO which
we are entitled:- need the whole of the
outfit, to relieve the State from the bur-
den. OF taxaaion. II becomes every candid
man therefore TO enquire, whether by re-
jscling the constitution and calling another
we shall gain sufficien,
equivalent, to make up for the amount that
will be subtracted from the property of the
State.
