LATEST FROM MEXICO.

The Mail has just arrived, bringing DIS N.
Orleans dates up to the 25sh ult, We con-
dense from the Picayune of the 25th, the fol-
lowing items: ..-: :-.-,
The steamship Palmetto arrived on the eve
ming of the oath from Vera Cruz, which place
she left on the 18th She touched at Tampi-
co on goth, and at Brazos Santiago on the
2lst June. ;:~-'
An express had arrived at Vera Cruz from
Puebla, announcing that Gen. Scott had COM
menced his march upon Mexico on the 10Th
June
Fhe Picayune says, that not one word more
about the overtures of peace had reached New
Orleans. Col. Childs was to leave Jalapa on
the 10Th June, with all the garrison. Gen'l
Shields was TO accompany him.
About 1000 troops left Vera Cruz on the
18th instant, under the command of Gen. Pill
low. TO join Gen. Scott
No further intelligence had been received
from Gen. Cadwalader, as the express rider
had come by another route.
By this arrival, the Picayune is in possess
sion of papers from the City of Mexico up to
the 9th June
Gen. Santa Anna was still in power. Gen
Almonte was still in prison, but the nature of
his offence was not known, as his trial had
not yet come on.
1t seems that some private dispatches have
been captured by the Mexicans and republsh-
ed in the Mexican papers. A humber of pri-
vate letters are commented upon Amongst
others, one from Mr. Childs, to the Colonel.
1t has not yet been ascertainsd who will be
the next President of Mexico. All the States
have not yet voted; when they do, it would
appear that there will be no election, and that
Congress, as in the United States, will have
to make the final choice. It is su pposed that
Herrera will be the man. The greatest con-
fusion OF parties exists in the Mexican Capt.
tai, and no possible calculation can be made
as 10 the probable course which the factions in
the Capital will finally pursue.
We have given the substance. Of the news
as it has reached our office.

THE MEETING IN MARION.

We had the pleasure of being present at the
meeting of Stockholders, which convened at
Marion, on the 23d uit, and we were very
much pleased to find such propitious spirit
pervadlng each and every member of that large
and respectable Convention. But one feeling
prevailed, and that was an enthusiastic deter
mlnation to build the Road We were par
tlcularly pleased with the spirit which perva-
ded the South Carolina members of that body.
They are noble set of fellows, and we feel
confident they will come up fully to every
pledge which they have ever given US. One
thing is certain, they are in earnest about
building the Road, and another thing is equal
~ certain and perhaps, fully as important,
they are we'll able to give US the right sub
stantial kind of aid, and they will do it. In
deed, we were much pleased with the whole
trip. The country through which we passed
is one in many ways eminently adapted to the
construction of Rail Road. For the most
part, it is as level as perhaps any Rail Road
route in the world, and we'll timbered the
whole way through. The amount, too, OF
produce of all kinds, which it must necessari-
ly bring down, would make the Manchester
ore of the best freight Roads in the country
To mention one item. In the three district.
in South Carolina through which it will run
there is about 10000 bales of Cotton raised
which necessarily would find its way tt

h3-Our old friend, VIM R. Hall, the whig
candidate for Congress in this district, is out
in the last Chronicle with long article in re-
ply to some paragraphs which appeared in the
Journal of the 18th ult.
Mr.. Hall is particularly fond of spreading
his political lucubrations OH paper, five are to
Judge from the productions which have already
fallen from his pen, and which have come
under our notice.
We have only to say in reply to Mr.. Halls
article, that there can be no doubt that Gen'l
Taylor did advise the advance from Corpus
Christi to the left bank of the Rio Grande, and
the reason he assigned for giving this advice
was, that in his opinion, the movement would
be serviceable to the United States, in demon
strating to the Mexicans that the American
Government was in earnest, and had the
means TO protect her interest in that quarter.
It is also matter of record, that Gen. Taylor,
very shortly before the battles of the 9Th and
9th of May, 1916, advised his Government,
that he had ample means to repel any attack
which might be made upon him-that REIN
forcements were not necessary, and that he
could easily maintain his position with has
then force The result proved that he was
correct. But had he and his army been cut
to pieces, there can be no doubt as to where the
blame would have fallen. Again: with re-
gard to his position at Buena Vista, we would
simply ask Mr.. Hall to read Mr. Marcy's let
ter to Gen. Scott, dated Nov. ed, '4e, in
which Gen. Scott is charged with the COM
mand OF the whole forces in Mexico as Com.
mander-in-C Chief; and Gen SCOTS letter to
Gen Taylor, informing him. that he Scott
would be compelled to withdraw from Gem
Taylor large portion of his forces. We
would also ask Mr. Hall to read the Secreta
ry of Wars letter to Gen. Taylor, in which
he informed him that he (Taylor) must be thu
Judge Of the amount Of troops which he car
spare ; and that he by no means must weaker

THE PRESENT ASPECT.

Really we are almost tired of specializing
upon the probable course which our affairs in
Mexico may or may not take. In such rapid
succession does rumour after rumour from
that quarter succeed each other, and so con-
Trajectory are they in their nature, that we
have almost ceased to guess at what may be
the probable result of the present war; or
when we may expect its termination. At one
moment we learn that Santa Anna has resign
Ell the Presidency, and also his command of
the Army and that Herrera has been elected
to the Chief Magistracy of that Inflated coun-
try. Again, we learn that the Mexican Con-
the confidence OF the people in Santa Anna is
still mistaken. Another account, and a late
one too, has it that the Mexican Government
has made certain propositions of peaceful
character TO Gen. Scott, but that the latter did
not think them of the proper kind, and has,
therefore, rejected them. That Gen. Scott is
now at Rio Frio, a short distance from the
Mexican Capital, there is now no doubt; but
whether any propositions have been made,
and of what nature, is matter, about which
we are by no means very certain One thing
is certain The Mexican Guerrilla parties are
daily becoming more numerous and more for
midable. Their attack upon the command Of
Gen. Cadwalader proves this. Indeed, they are
so bold as to approach the very walls
| of Wv, md fha IT Tam l.
said to be in daily expectation OF an attack
from large body of Mexicans, 1900 strong
If these be facts, and we have no reason to
doubt them, it would 60 far to prove that the
Mexicans continue as obstinate as ever; and
that the contest has by no means been drawn
to close. At present, the communications
between Vera Cruz and Gen'l Scott are, in
some measure, cut off by formidable bands Of
guerrillas. Of course we presume that REIN
forcements will be sent on for the purpose of
re-opening them. But that they have been
cut off at all, argues that the people of Mexi-
co are still determined, in some sort, to con-
tinue the contest. Our opinion is, that enough
of the Mexican people, and of the Mexican
war, is now known, TO make it the imperative
duty of our Government to send on promptly
the largest kind of reinforcements that can be
raised, to the support of Gen. Scott and his ar
my. This will be the only way in which the
war can ever be terminated. We must liter
ally annihilate everything like resistance, be-
fore we can calculate upon making peace.

0dPerhaps our readers may be curious to
know what the English press say about our
Mexican affairs. Below we give an extract
from the London Chronicle:
"As far as the success of their military opera
tions is concerned, nothing more conclusive can
he conceived than the late movements Of the Uni
ted States generals against the forces that the
Mexicans have been able to oppose to them in the
field. 1t is impossible to read the accounts of
these successive actions without something like a
feeling of contempt for the beaten party SO strong
an effect do the triumphs of military prowess ex-
ercise on the mind. Almost despite of the claims
of justice, and of compassion for the countless
and unoffending thousands whose fates are mex

one is tempted to exeIaim, that they who know SO
Ill how to defend country, are not worthy to pos
sess one. The prize of empife-so all history tells
