Interesting from the Seat of War.

The New-Oreans papers contain intelligence
from the seat Of War, not very encouraging. A
long statement is published, giving in detail a
narrative of the expeditions of Captain Wells.
Halle and Fairchild, who, with about two hun.
dred men, we're despatched from Vera Cruz to
support Major Lay, who, on his way with con-
siderable force to reach General Scott, had been
attacked by guerilla parties and his advance iln.
peded. The two hundred men with their com.
manders had hardly reached Vera Cruz when
they were ordered TO advance. The men were
raw recruits, and the mules employed in their
train were wild and unbroken. They we're at
tackled at several points by the Mexicans, and
sustained loss. Still they continued to advance
until they were within three miles of the Nation
al Bridge, when they were attacked by large
party Of MeXicans, who were posted on HILL
and had with them two pieces of cannon. The
men advanced to the attack with bravery, but
were finally obliged to give way. Nearly all the
mules were killed. After the skrmish, the COM
mand found itself without food or clothing
The knapsacks of the men had been, for the &C.
Cason. packed in the wagon. No one brJurh,
from the scene more than he carried upon lis
person. The officers, who we're clothed in their
old clothes, for marching, lost every thing
clothing, papers and all and returned to Vera
Cruz like the me1 under them-som without
coats, and bereft of every comfort.
The return OF this command was more rapd
than its advance; first, because they were re-
lieved of the wild mule train; and, secondly, be-
cause they had no food and were constantly
surrounded by Mexcans. On the return the re-
sponslble aud hazardous duty of clearing the
roads and heights, at dangerous places, necessa.
rlly devolved upon Capt. Halle.
The command arrived on the l7th at Santa
Fe, and Mr. Brady volunteered to 20 forward to
Vera Cruz, and ask for ambulances for the sick
and wounded. At ten o'clock the same night,
he returned with two ambulances and four wag-
ons. Capt Fairchid left the infantry at Santa
Fee, and went to the camp near Vera Cruz. On
reaching The encampmeut near Vera Cruz the
worndown troops found no shelter from the pet.

They were without coats or blankets and at
ten o'clock the next day, ,wcnty.iour hours after
their arrival, they were still without tents or
blankcts-thc rain having fallen i, torrents, and
their condition being well known by the com.
handing officer in the city, ard acquisitions hav-
ing been made by those in distress.
In the attack at the National Bridge, Captain
Wells lost one man killed and one wounded
Capt Halle had two killed One teanster was

IS AN EXAMPLE TO FoLLow.-In the Congress
iona District in Indiana, which has recently re-
turned Mr.. Caleb b. Smith by nearly fourteen
hundred majority, the Liberty party candidate
withdrew from the field just previous to the cleo
ton. He did so in order TO insure the election
of Mr.. Smith, whom he knew was deadly hostile
to the war, and could be trusted on all practical
questions connected with slavery. In this State,
as in Indiana, the continuance Of the Liberty
party candidates in the field, as the plurality
system is in force, endangers the success ofopen
opponents to the war, and will probably lead to
the election of Loco Focos, in Two, if not three,
out of the four Congressional Districts yet to
elect in this State. If The Liberty party candi-
dates had really any desire to act practically for
the Limitation of slavery, they would withdraw
aud advise their friends TO support the Wing
nominees, every one of whom is opposed to the
extension OF slavery, and who would do all in
their power 10 counteract its unconstitutional in
fuences. In the fourth district, in particular,
Mr.. Morse would be sure of an election if the
Liberty party man, who STANDS not the slightest
chance of being elected, would withdraw. Why
have not some OF them sufficient love for freedom
10 initiate the example set them by the gentleman
from Indiana ?-Saco Union,

Impressed with a conviction that the political
campaign of 1913 will be the most important of
all which the people have been called to engage
in, we are induced to offer our paper in packets
of TWENTY OR MORE TO ONE ADDRESS, Al ONLY
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR, for each copy
payable in all cases in advance. Under this OF
fer we hope greatly to enlarge the circulation oil
our paper and to contribute more successfully
to the support of wing principles, and we invite
the co operation of all our political friends who
approve of this design. The complexion of the
returns of the recent election indicates the
propriety of promptly healing whatever divisions
may have occurred in the Wing ranks, and of
vigorous operations against the enemies of the
Wing cause. "Up and at them, boys"

~ The State Of Texas claims Santa Fe as

man, in his capacity as Representative of that
State, says the Governor of Texas sent OH for
nal protest and remonstrance against General
Kearney's civil government at Santa Fc, and the
represent tive of that State would have present
ed il, but for the special message of President
Polk, denying that Gen Hearney's act had been
approved by the Government, and promised to
correct any excess Of power exercised by that
officer. This statement is made by Mr.. Kauf.
man to correct counter statement in the Ma
tonal Intelligencer.
So says the Boston Post
OF course, if the claim is sustained, and San
ia Fe is annexed, reither the Wilmot Frovso
nor the principle of the Missouri compromise
would operate TO exclude slavery; Texas would
cover Santa Fe with her broad and infamous
shield of eternal slavery.

LIBERTY PARTY IN MAINE.-At a LiLerfvfh

be given to Mr. Morse, the Wing candidate. For

true lovers of freedom, Mr.. Wiley, who seems to

Important Abolition Movement.

Letters received here by the Caledonian from
unquestionabe sources, announce, thet on the
29h of July last, the King of Denmark issued
decree declaring that all persons who should
thereafter be born in his dominioDs should be
born free, and that all persons in seryjtude in
his dominions on the 2Sth of July last, and re-
naming so on the 2Sth Of July, 1859, shall then
be absolutely free, without compensation to the
owners.
In the negotiating with the coonists which
preceded the issuing of this Decree he offered
them the alternative of three wears with n com.
pensatIon of $50 per head for each slave. or 10
years without any compensation, and they chose
the latter.

barely escaped an ignominious defeat. The les
