the roads arc so very bad, it is almost I'M

The correspondent of the Picayune writing

it.
A train left Vera Cruz the evening of
the 9th inst, for the army at Pucbla, under
command Of Col. Wilson of the 18th In
fantry. The train was escorted by from
1900 to 1000 men: Four dcscrtcrs arrived
at Jalapa on the 80 of July, three from Pu-

from Pucbla report that the desertons were
very great in the American army, and that

that he IS still at Puebla.

Interesting.

The Washington correspondent of the
Nev York Courier e. Enquirer says -
II know positively, and say so, without
fear of being contradicted, that the British
Government and the British Minister in
Mexico arc perfectly agreed that we should
keep Upper and Lower California on the
terms proposed by MIR. BucuANAN in the Sc
cond instructions sent to Mr.. TR1sr, and
Mr.. BANKHEAD was earnestly urging on
the Mexican Government the policy Of ac-
cepting at once the proffered peace. And
I can further inform you that SANTA ANNA
is most solicitious for peace; but that the
Congress, detesting SANTA ANNA, and fear.
ing the return of his military rule aftef the
troops under General ScoTr shall be with
drawn, is anxious for another battle, in which
they know SANTA ANNA will be sdefeated,
aud with him all the military tyrants and
extortioners of Mexico. SANTA ANNA is
now surely in asdeplorable condition, press
ed by friend and foe, and r should not be

-" That committee of ten be appointed
to devise ways and means to procure Sub
scription for the building Of the contempla-
ted r. Road from Columbia to Greenville
through Abbeville and Anderson and to re.
commend such means as will best unite the
various conflicting opinions, and give con-
cert ofaction in accomplishing an enterprise
of great importance to our whole coun-
try"
Thecommittce was appointed and retired
for two or three hours, during which time
Mcssrs. Jones, Heller and Cunningham, Of
Laurens, entertained the assemblage-.
with anmatedspceches. The latter Gentle
man interested us with very beautiful
Speech, in which he compared the Steam
Engine upon the land to the gallant Ship,
and compass upon the waters. He said as
he was from Laurens, he felt bound to lend
his efforts to taking the road through his
native District, but if Lanrcns could not
succeed, Abbville too should have his mite.
In the progress of his remarks the commit
tee returned, and submitted the following
REPORT:
"Your cmmittee would respectfully beg
leave to report that they have examined the
subject referred to them for their considera-
ton, and would recommend the adoption of
the following Preamble and resolutions:

seen such diversity of opinion on subject
ofsuch vast Importance to the citizens of

many have taken stock with conditions an

down in the charter are the only terms on
which we should take stock. That if the
