Black List.

The Postmaster at Jolly, Washington Co. o.,
informs US that John Ferguson has not taken his
paper from that Office for some three months, and
that if ,e do not pay the postage, he will have to
sell them for the same, &c. We take this oppor.
tunity to make known to Postmasters, that ne.
glect to inform publishers of papers of the refusal
of subscriber to take his paper from the Post
Office, makes the Postmaster liable to the publisher
for the subscription Of the paper. We may be un-
der the necessity of enforcing this, some of these
days, instead of paying the postage on our own
paper.

The Elections.

The following election returns are taken from
late Cincinnati papers:
KENTUCKY Sufficient returns have been re.
ceved from this State to show that the election has
resulted in the choice of six whig and four demo.
cratic members of Congress which is gain of one
for the democrats The last delegation stood seven
wings to three democrats.
IowA.-The wings give it up--twp democrats
elected to Congress in this State. The Gazette
says she will edo better next time" No doubt Of
it-give larger majorties.
INDIANA.-The Indiana State Sentinel says that
Mr.. Dobson, democrat in the 9Th district, is beaten
by t,celue votes. This makes four wings, instead
of two, elected from Indiana.
ILLINoIs.--We have no news except from
Cook county. There democracy is triumphant
a. usual
ALABAMA.--In this State the democratic can.
didate for Governor is certain to be elected. The
democratic vote for Congress shows certainty of
great triumph by our party.
TENNEssEE.---Returns from rs counties IN
Middle Tennessee, show gain for Veil S. Bro,on,
the whig candidate for Governor, of over ], 800
votes. This looks very strongly towards his eIec-
tipn.

From Mexico,

The Baltimore Sun of Saturday last
says:-"Another invoice OF rumors is
afforded by the Southern mail of last
evening, which bear striking family
resemblance to those of the last arrival ;
at any rate we cannot accord 10 the
present intelligence much of con6rma-
tory merit. Our readers, we suppose,
in their anxiety to hear from the column
laundering at the gates of Mexico, be-
gin to think it rather strange that intel
llgence should be so long Delayed
But patience is virtue, which, in view
of the position of the parties and the
circumstances of the case, we must
learn to inculcate. The communica-
ton must be precarious, continually
liable to interruption, and at times is
no doubt entirely cut off. 1t is only by
the passage Of our own men in consid-
erable numbers, or through Mexican
sources, that we shall be likely to re.
ceive information from Gen. Scott
On his plunge into the interior he was
continually parting with whole compa.
nies of his force, whose term of SER
vice had expired, and in consequence
of this, information from headquarters
was frequently received. The case is
now very different. Large bodies Of
our troops move only towards him,
and it is not at all improbable that he
may be in possession of the Mexican
capital, and an express be unable to
get over the road to Vera Cruz. In the
meantime, we have no cause to appre-
hend any untoward event, and our
anxiety may safely repose on the abun-
dant sufliciency OF our gallant army,
whether under a Taylor or Scott, or
any other energetic officer, to give a
good and triumphant account Of itself.
whenever it shall be deemed necessary
to open the back track to tell the story"

From the St. Louis Republican, Augusta.
Late from Santa Fe and the Plains.

The Jefferson Enquirer of Saturday
last publishes letter from Liet. Eastin
of the Cole county infantry, dated at
Independence, where he arrived on the
23d ult. He left Santa Fe on tie 2lsl
OF June, and was thiriy.two days on
the route. A portion Of the company
had been discharged; the remainder
were yet in the service, and would be
mustered out at Fort Leaven worth.
Lieut.. Eastin left the command at the
Little Arkansas, two hundred and Ten
miles from Independence, all making
very good progress.
Captain Angney, who commanded
Company A, was left in Santa Fe. SO,
also, was Lieut.. Irvine, who had no,
recovered from his wound. He had
suffered much, and it was apprehended
that he might be a cripple for life.
Everything was quiet at Santa Fe.
The country was rife with rumors of
revolution and rebellion; but no conf.
dence was to be placed in them. The
people Of Taos were said 10 be discon-
tented and restless; but Lieut.. Col.
Wilcox had returned from bis expedi-
ton to the Red river canon, and would
socn quiet all disssnsions.

From the Ohio Statesman (by Telegraph.)
Later from Mexico.
GENERAL SCOTT STILL AT PUEBLA

By an arrival at New Orleans or
Saturday week, of the steamer Fash
ion from Vera Cruz. on the Cd inst. tn,
intelligence was received that Cour
ier from the British legation at Mexico
had arrived at Vera Cruz on the Sis
ult., stating that Gen. Scott had no
arrived at Mexico, but he was still a
Pueba on the 3Oth. That Gen. Pierce
had arrived at Perote, on his way tc
Join Scott. In Pierce's engagement al
the National bridge he had los! Lieut..
Upton of Indiana and Sergeant oil
Pennsylvania. The forces were ex-
pected to concentrate at Puebla about
the first of August, and march imme-
diately on the capital. The prospect
of peace before the capital is taken was
anything but flattering.
The correspondent Of the N. O..
Commercial Times says that there has
been contest Of etiquette about their
constituted rights between the Con-
eress and Santa Anna, each charging
the other with the responsibility Of
peace. Santa Anna is shire wdIy sup.
posed to be desIrous Of patching up
peace rs the surest way Of securing
the grand object Of his ambition, the
Dictatorship.
When Congress dissolved, it was
done by the withdrawal of thu mem.
bers SO as to leave the remainder be.
low quorum. Santa Anna held a
council of his genel al officers, and they
resolved to try their luck against Gen.
Scott at PuebIa, or rejecting propos.
tons for negotiations, calmly await
his advance, being free to act on his
approach, either on the defensive or
otherwise.
The government issued decree sus-
pending the issue Of all newspi pers
except the official organ.
The New Orleans Delta SAYS Con
gress had met and adjourned without
coming TO any decisive propositions to |
our government, that ali letters from |
the capitol agree that Scott can take
the city without difficulty, and that the
foreign merchants at the capitol are an
yious for his arrival. A letter from
Lieutenant Whipple had arrived, said
lie was treated well, expects soon to
,e exchanged.

| tween the trade they have chosen, the
wife they have selected, and their 81.
garlic, which compose the most essen
tial part of their existence. For them,
also, ,peace is the first blessing; but even
for this reason, the enemy who leaves
them to enjoy their life Of labor and
apathy, is pretty much the same thing
as the compa.riot who governed them
Yesterday; and provided they gain a
few more reals, or tobacco does not
become dearer, this would be the enc
my they would prefer. This explains
the inertia of people who will allow
themselves TO be conquered by hand
tul of men. and only interrupt their way
of life long enough to allow them time
to examine the uniform of the new
comers.
"The Spanish Mexicans alone re-
main to represent what is called the
Mexican nation These are also divld-
ed into two casses-those who pos
sess something, and those who possess
nothing. The former naturally is the
friend of peace; but the latter. on the
contrary, is its declared enemy; tor
war is always resource to those who
have nothing. This latter class have
succeeded for the last twenty years in
plunging Mexico in revolution alter
revolution; and this fact alone proves
that they possess this power, and will
continue to use it, until some powerful
influence throws into the balance its
decisive weight.
"Thls briefexpose suffices TO prove
what we have often said-that the ma
iority Of Mexico is in favor of peace;
but that this majority will never be
formed into true party until some en-
ergetic power will come to its aid, and
serve at the same time as rally ing
centre and point of support"

A few pounds of Tea.

| The Mexicans in this country ad.
nit our claims against Mexico, and
yet excIaim, shut shall two nations be
plunged into a war for few dollars?'
Three nations, some years ago, were
plunged into a war about few pounds
of tea, and few reams of foolscap
paper, and such like things, insignifi-
cant of themselves. Mother England
said. "Pay me few pennies pound
on your tea, people over the Atlantic
IN America; buy your paper, which
YOU use tor certain purposes, Of me.~
NO." said our ancestors, "not so, we
shall pay you not another penny on
your tea--we shan't use your paper.n
"Ihen we will compel you with baye.
nets and cold lead, and such like argur
ments." "Very well, so be it," Now
II may be supposed, and we believe it
fact, that there were certain people
in those days who loved tea, who
said-"What! shall wego to war about
little tea!--lo! how shall we get tea
in that case? Our goodly traffic, shall
be destroy ed-men will be killed
cities burned, and the land deluged with
blood, in consequence of this tea bnsi-
ness! Peace! peace! War is dreadful,
and war about tea and few sheets Of
paper; with the picture of FOOLS cap
on the corner, is most foolishw
But, we all know, there was another
and different set OF men in those days,
who said tea was of no consequence;
a few pennies more or less do not
amount to much in the long run, but
we see, hidden in this brown tea,
somewhat grave question ofright; and
although the tea and paper are not
much. yet, il is not right that we should
be taxed for the one nor compelled to
use the other; therefore, we must fight
about it. Fight they did, and WHIP
PED not only the AGGRESSOR, but
The people arong them who loved
TEA and TREASON better than
FIGHT and FREEDOM.
The tea people had their descend-
,nts. They were alive in The last
war, CRYING, "what! shall we have war
because few Of our brethren have
been abused--war is awful; peaces
,eacep But these fellows shared the
ate Of their foreiathers.
The tea people are fourishing now.

and the capital have been interrupted
by the late expedition of Col. De Rus
sey we have been unable 10 learn; we
have no later Mexican papers by eithel
of the arrivals. But even were the usu
al mail entirely brokenup, it,woud seen
as if so important an event as the fal
Of the capitol must inevitably have
reached Tampico in eight or nine days
transmitted from mouth to mouth'n
"The National finds confirmation o.
the news of its extra in a letter from
the Brazos Of the 9th which says thai
an account ofScotts's victory had been
read to the troops at Matamoras on
parade the evening Of the 26th. AT
Galveston they had the same report on
the 3oth brought by vessel which left
the Rio Grande on the 26th. How far
the original rumor is confirmed by its
prevalence at Matamoras on the 26th
and absolute silence in regard to it at
Tampico the same day, every reader
can judge by aglance on the map.
"We have taken some pains to fol-
low to their sources many reports in
relation to Gen. Scott's position. We
still incline to the belief that he did moi
march from Puebla before, the 18th.
BY the map most in vogue, Puebla is
eighty seven miles distant from the
capital, and we do not believe that his
march will be entirely unopposed. We
