The shock of War.

The tidings now scarcely questionable, Of the
advance of Santa Anna upon Saltilo with a force
roughly estimated at 30, 900 men, intending to fall
upon aud overpower Gen. Worth at that post, or
70 intercept and roughly handle some Of tie de-
tschmcn,s on their way to reinforce him, naturally
excites very lively and general solicitude for the
event Of the apprehendcd encounter, especially
among those who have relations or friends in the
Army The next advices from the Bio Grande are
awaited with an anxiety which will deepen with
every day s delay in receiving it. There is at the
least probability Of some harder fighting than has
yet taken place in this contest II Santa Anna has
in truth assumed the offensive. and has anything
like 30 900 men in his ranks. he will hardly SINK
back into his entrcnched camp at San Luis with
out tempting the chances Of an action.
Yet we entertain no apprehension that Gen.
Worth will be driven from satillo unless by de-
fciency Of provisions or ammunition, Of which we
hear nothing. Admit that he can muster but 10
700 men the encounter and that his assalaDt ad
vances with what passes for 30 00o which rarely IN
a.eryice so irregular and i'll supplied as that Of MezL
CO. amounts to more than 10000 actually under arms
on the day Of battle and what are the probabilities
Of the issue1 We must bear in mind that the the
atre Of operations is mainly an exceedingly broken
hly country, most unfayorable to the operations OF
Cavalry in which the great superiority OF the Mex
lean force consists and that whatever advantages
can be taken of the nature Of the country are all
ON the side of Gen. Worth. who. acting on the de-
fsnsive, will Of course choose his field OF battle
with reference to the character Of the opposing
forces. and with view to make his superiority OF
position as decided as possible. We presume he
will await the attack Of his adversary IN Saltllo
itself where his men will be sheltered by the
strong Spanish buildings well as by whatever
there may be Of Military deiences Here he has
only to make good bis stand for a few days with
certainty that ample reiniorcements are hastening
to his support, and that even cowardlce has little
10 hope from aught but determined resistance
With this certainty to inspirt his troops we DO
not believe there are any 10000 Mexicans, led by
all their best Generals. who can drive Gen. Worth
from saltillo. Santa Anna has made mistake IN
turning upon him, instead of sweeping down upon
.ome detachment Of the raw lcvies whom he might
with his immense superiority in cavalry, have SIN
eled out and attacked on their desultory advance
from Matamoros to Tampico. He VIII be oadiy
beaten, and then, If the House passes Mf Preston

Of human Indebtedness and restitution winch have
recently been landed our shores are part oil me
fnits Of this nefarious and cowardly business
The evidence. we presume will soon be iaid IN due
form before Congress and our Legislature among
others and we cannot doubt that efficient measures
will thereupon be taken to put stop to the imPo
son and deter those subsidized 10 favor II on tins
side Of the water from farther prosecution OF the
fraud.
Our Country exsends generous welcome and
proflers unexampled advantages to the natives OF
other cmes who may voluntarily seek her shores
We have never subjected the swsrns OF immi-
grants daily arriving to any vexstious scrutiny or
suspicion. We meet them with shake o, tie
hand and an invitation to share whatever the land
affords But this conspiracy of German burgo-
masters to ship off their paupers upon US by whole
sale is so dastardy and so unprovoked en- outrage
that our Government would be justified in pro
claiming Non.Intercourse with those. countries
which tolerate it unless they proier us indemnity

treat the unfortunate beings cast upon our hands
