Letters have been received from the interior

cans have begun to practice their atrocities OH
all the women believed to have been intimate
with, and friendly to, the Americans. Theun-
fortunate creatures were branded on the cheek
with the letter ~. s., despoiled of their hair.
and, in some instances, their ears were slit
Many Mexicans who had been on amicable
terms with the Americans, were anxious to
come to the States, not deenning their lives
safe after the departure of our troops. 1t isre-
ported that upwards of 1000 women were fol-
lowing the rear division of our army, with
the hope of being thus enabled to quit Mex

the reduction will be carried still further
Good judges are of opinion, that. with the cur

opposed to Cass acquiesced under the belief
that with any nominee they could rall'a force
to beat Mr. Clay; as they did with Mi. Polk
But the nomination of Old ''Never surrender
Inns put new and longer face on the matter,
and this face they are compelled to wear.-
Pennsylvania they feel sure isgone from them.
The northern Locofoco counties they know are
painting to cast their vote for the Hero of the
Rio Grande. Berks is overhauling her old bal
lot boxes, aid changing the colors of her beans.
Westmorland depends upon accident. If she
does in 1913 as she did in 1844-send in the
tally sticks ofl840-the. majority viii be the
same-"in course" that is l726-but if she
makes new tally sticks, old lack will take a
thousand notches off them, leaving it but 926
Other locofoco counties voting with a sympa-
thetic feeling for old mother Westmoreland
will leave Cass where he found himself afte
surrendering his sword to Gen. Brock--in {
Estate of non comhatancy.
