IOWA SENATORS.

The St. Louis Republican of the 10th
ulimo says:
The Legislature of Iowa failed to meet
in joint session on the 9th instant, to elect
Senators in Congress. The election stood
adjourned to that day, but the Locofoco
members Of the Senate, fearing the result,
refused to meet the House in joint ses-
sion, and it is now probable that no cleo
ton will take place at the present session.
II this should be the result, then the State
will be without Senators for two years to
come, because the next session of the Le-
g~islature will not be held until November,
ls4s, and the Governor cannot make tenn
Porary appointments, as, the office never
having been filled, no vacancies can be
said to have taken place.

HIGHLY IMPORTANT.
PLAN OF OPERATIONS AGAINST
MEXICO.

The editor of the Spanish paper in
New Orleans, who was recently appoint
ed one of Gen. SCOTS aids, but whose
commission was subsequently revoked,
gives the subjoined as the new plan Of
operations against Mexico, under Gen.
Scott, and we notice that letters from
Washington state that 1t may be relied on
as correct:
Gen. Taylor, instead of moving upon
San Luis Potosi, will repair to S%altiIlo,
where he will remain for a short period.
Gen. Scott, after having made some ar
engagements on the Rio Grande, will has
ten TO Tampico, where he will assume the
command of 1000 volunteers recently
called out and ordered to assemble at that
point. From Tampico Gen. Scott Will
march towards Vera Cruz, and Gen.
TAYLOR will make a simultaneous move
ment towards Tampico with all the troops
| e can muster, after leaving sufficient force
TO garrison Saltillo, Monterey, Victoria,
&c. and in union with Gen. Wor h's di-
vision, will JOIN Gen. Scott, who viii
have at his command the new military
arm of rocketeers and howitzeers.
At the proper moment, fifteen or SIX
teen vessels Of the American Squadron,
with a force of from $50 to 800 guns Of
all sizes and calibres, will appear off San
Juan d'Ulloa, and begin the attack upon
the castle. According TO the new plan OF
| operations, the land forces will rendezvous
at the mouth of the river Antigua which
empties into the Gulf a short distance to
the North Of Vera Cruz and ascend the
same to where the main road to Jalapa
crosses it. Ii this plan be speedily put
inte execution, there can be no doubt bus
that Vera Cruz and the cas- le will as
speedily fall into the power of the Ameri-
can forces; but if any faith be put in S..n-
ia Annals declarations, it is plain, be will
be able to cut off the advance of General
Taylor from Saltillo.

NEXT PRESIDENCY.

On the 9Th of January, the Democrats
in the Missouri Legislature held a NEE
ting in the capitol at Jefferson city, and
adopted resolutions recommending a ma
tional convention, to he held in Baltimore
on the first Monday in May 1913, to no.
inmate President and Vice President of
the United States. Hon, Thomas Hart
Benton was recommended by the meeting
to the democracy of the nation, as a pro-
per candidate for the next Presidency.

UNITED STATES STOCK IN THE
CHES. & OHIO CANAL.

The following We copy from the Cum
berland Civilian Of the 26th ult.
On Thursday last, in the House of Re-
representatives., the Hon. Andrew Stewart
of Pa, gave notice that at an early day
he would ask leave to introduce a bill for
the conditional transfer of the stock held
by the United States in the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company on terms to Sc
cure the early completion of that work
TO Cumberland.
We trust that this important measure
will receive the appreciation of Congress,
and speedily become a law. Mr.. Stewart
deserves. and will receive, the thanks Of
the friends of the Canal, for this evidence
of interest in the success of that noble
improvement.

THE CENTRAL RAILROAD.

A few nights since, says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, a committee Of gentlemen
volunteered to obtain subscriptions o I500
shares of stock to the Central Railroad,
that number being still necessary to Sc
cure the charter. The committee report
ed on Saturday night, and announced
with Ito little satisfaction, that they had
obtained subscriptions to 1927 shares
The result is indeed most creditable, and
while we thank the committee on behalf
of u citizens, we also venture to con-
gratnlate the community at large. This
great work may now be regarded as fairly
commenced.

afford every facility to this company to
enable them to prosecute this great Penn
fylvania work, and insure It's completion

MArAMoRAs, january 9, 1877.

MATAMoRAs, January y, lS4
General ScoTT returned here on the
9th instant from Camargo. He told me
that every thing was quiet above, and no
probability of any hostile collision at pre-
sent. He said for the mex ten or fifteen
days he should be at the Brazos Santiago,
and in this place. He was asked in my
hearing to what point he would go when
he should leave here; he replied TO the
point circumstances should make il ne
cessary at the time. No one is author
lied to say on what point he will move,
or when he will go.
The various regiments IN depot along
the river for months past are under orders
10 march as soon as the new troops com
ing out shall arrive TO relieve them
Generals TAYLOR and PATTERSON are
marching on Victoria, and must soon be
there, if not already arrived. The engi-
neers, with the pioneers and their escort,
had at the last accounts nearly reached
Victoria, on the route General TAYLOR IS
marching, not having met the least oppo-
sition. There is no positive information
from the column of General PATTERSON
since he left San Fernando. There is no
doubt of his advancing in safety.
1t viii be gratifying to the friends Of
General ScoTT to learn that he is very
well received by the troops. His com
handing and military appearance, com
bined with the suavity Of his manners,
has dispelled the ~prejudIces and opinions
of many who had never seen him. Gen.
TAYLoR-that sturdy old soldiers much
gratified to learn Of the arrival of the
General-in-chief OF our armies. He has
fame enough to prevent any fears OF a IT.
val, and is gallant and generous enough to
be willing to share opportunities for dis
t~inction with a brother officer as brave
and as generous as himself. There will
be no rivalry between Generals SCOTT
and TAYLOR but upon one point, and that
will be, who can best serve the country.
MY information from SaltillO is to the
10Th ultimo, and from Monterey two days
later. A correspondent. speaking of the
message of the President of Mexico,
! says sit breathes war, but with becoming
diffidence." The best-informed inhabi-
tants at Saltillo and Monterey are of opin-
ion the Congress viii accept the proposi-
ton of our President to appoint ministers
to negotiate, and say they are for a peace.
Here the message excites no sensation, SO
far as can be yet seen.
General BUTLER commands at Saltillo,
and has the brigades of Wool, WORTH,
and lane besides the artillery and dra-
COON corps in that neighborhood. There
is no apprehension of any attack. The
man body of the Mexican army was still
at San Luis. General MARSHALL has the
chief military command about Monterey,
whilst Colonel GARLAND continues 10 GO
vern the city.
General TAYLOR, it is said, arrived at
Linares on the Goth ultino. If so, he
has reached Victoria before this time.

be required.-Har. Int.
THE EXECUTIVE AND THE
ARMY.

We are among those who have been
slow to believe, though it has been fire.
quently charged, that animosity was cher
ished by the Administration towards
General TAYLOR, because we could not
conceive any motives. even OF party poll
cy, for such hostility against a citizen who
has unquestionably rendered distinguish
ed service to his country, and entrcnched
himself thereby safely in the public es-
TEEN. But it cannot be doubted, consid-
ering the regency of the fact of the publl-
cation of the Letter of Gen. TAYLOR, that
the General Order" published in our
columns to-day has direct reference to
that officer.
How many hundreds of unofficial Let
ters from Officers of the Army, of every
grade, up to that of Gen. TAYLOR, have
been published all over the country with
in the last year, without calling forth any
rebuke from the Executive! So far from
it, have not many Of such letters been
published, without a lisp of disapproba-
ton, in the newspaper in this city which
is the recognised organ of the Govern
ment; published not only without any
expression Of dissatisfaction, but, on the
contrary, with high commentators? As
late as in that paper Of yesterday morn
ing we find precisely such Letter from
san officer of Gen. WooL's command
We do not say that the Regulation which
has been thus walked up from a sleep of
more than twenty years-which had been
in fact disused so long as Ia become obso-
lete-may not be in itself, as a general
rule, a proper one. But We do say that
it has not been heretofore considered as
an order to be strictly observed; in proof
Of which many instances can be remem-
bered, in which it has not been regarded,
nor has the departure from it been visited
with any reproof, much less with such a
public rebuke as that conveyed in the re-
vival and republication, obviously with
that intent, of the Regulation Of 1925.
The EFFECT, besides, of the promul-
CATION of the order at the present particu-
lar moment, is that Of Ex POST FACTo le-
gislation; a proceeding directly against the
spirit of liberty, and so recognised by the
organic law of the Republic Mar. INT.

ILLINOIS & MICHIGAN CANAL.

The Sangamo Journal says, the Canal
report has not yet been made, bat that,
since the re-commencement Of the work,
S604 900 have been expended upon it,
and that the estimate for its completion is
a triie more than S7O7, 900. The bond
holders will, therefore, be able to finish
the work for about 81, 1905 OO, which is
less by about 100000 than the original
estimate. 1t is believed that the work will
be completed by next September.
