Eds Delta: Since | last wrote you up to the
present time there has not been news enough IL con
densed I'LL one small page. II would hardly interest
your readers inform them day after day that Gen
Scott was still at Jaspa-Gen. Worth at Puebla"-aud
next day by way of change to write that" Gen Worth
il a, Pueba and Scott Jslaps Yet such is about the
substance OF the that has reached us since the
date of my last letter.
Every day could give you page of surmses as
TO Santa Annas whereabouts what he is doing what he
said Sc but sitting it down little, generally md
that there has been no communication whatever with
the interior No arrivals from above and consequently
no visible means by which such important could
have reached SO, under the circumstances, have
thought IL best 10 allow my pen 10 be still
do not write now because have any thing important
to communicate the contrary, there never was so
great dearth of news as at present communication
from above entirely cut OIL Murders the roadside
have become common that TO regard them
interesting After taking this much pains TO con
vince you that have nothing 10 write about you may
possibly ask yourself why then am writing answer
that feel that do my country better service IN
my idle moments OF garrison duty than by calling the At
tenon OF the Government aud the country 10 the rdOH
and extraordinary waste of public money and property
Ii is q matter OF comment wherever go-eyeTy one
talking about i-yet no lifts up bis voice to direct
public attention H. Since the surrender OF NeraCruz
there has been anchored at this place, at SACRIFICES.
Lobos and Anton Lzsrdo. vessels varying in number
from 50 to 50 in the Government employ-s chartered
by the day prices varying from $40 to sOO per day
Some OF them have been here three months with ssres
the original cos, OF which one months demurrage
would pay for.
You will see anchored within pistol shot OF each
other FIVE and six vessels with coal for the army-the
quantity contained in the rh0e SIR not being sufficient
to i'll the hold OF any of them. The demurrsse OF
not one Of these vessels is less than 500 per dsy Is
not the duty of those who have chsge OF such matters
here to attend to these things Could not the coal In
the i've vessels be transferred TO the one and let the
four be discharged
This Messrs. Editors is not an overdrawn picture II
would take more time than spare 81 this particular
moment 10 give faint idea of the immense waste and
might add barefaced plundering Of the Government
property as carried here The case OF the coal YES
sells given above is but the history OF al store yes
sells employed by Government The captains report on
their arrival and are ordered to wait orders-ihe own
ers are getting immense per diem for their vessels
they satisfied to remain forever and take good care
not to remind the Quartermssier Of their existence
having reported
The surf boais which cost at least 500 apiece
are scattered along the beach for miles in extent SIX
tyt three surfbosts biged and s,rewed along the
beach in every direction. One days attention OF TIE
uar,ersster or his assistant snd one Of the hundred
vessels or steamers In the pay OF the United states
