WAR MATTERS.

The following has been received by Tele-
graph to the New York papers,
PETERSBURG, Jan. 10, 1913,
Your Poney Express, this morning, brought
New Orleans papers of the 9TH. The schoo-
ner Eleanor arrived on The 9th, bringing pa
pers from Vera Cruz, TO the 10Th, four days
later. Gen. Scott had issued orders announc-
ing that the United States army is about to
spread over and occupy the whole republic
of Mexico, OF which it will hold possession
until Mexico sues for peace upon acceptable
terms 10 the U. S. Numerous orders are
published relating to taxes. All fines here
toiore payable 10 the Mcxicon Government
are demanded now 10 support the army. He
euumerates various articles for taxation. Lot
teries are prohibited.
Aletter in the Monitor, dated Queretaro,
! states that the present Congress would not
come together again-several Deputies hav-
| ing left. 1t adds that the new Deputies and
Senators would soon be in the city
| In consequence of the State Governments
not fulfilling their promise 10 aid the general
government with such resources as they
could command, the later was much cranp-
ed for means.
Lient. McDonnelly, of the ti:ird artillery,
and TWO other officers, with small patty, lett
Pueblo for Jalapa, OH the 18th, having charge
of transferable money. They were attacked
i'll the night by fourteen robbers,a and although
only three of our countryInen had arms, they
defeated the ladrones, and arrived safe at their
destination.
Gen. Pierce, formerly Democratic L, s.
Senator from New Hampshire and now of
the United States army, arrived here from
Mexico on Friday, on his way home. Dur
ing his stay in this city, he spoke frankly of
the war and ofvarous matters connected with
it. He thinks thai the prospect Otpeace has
ut no time been worse than it is now. He
expresses himself strongly against what is
called the military occupation ofMeXico, and
says that annexation would be even worse
than occupation. He holds that the idea of
drawing from Mexico the means of defray-
ing the expenses of occupation is utterly pre-
posterouS
When Gen. Pierce was asked what policy
he would adopt in relation 10 Mexico, he an
swered hesitatingly that he did not know.
We do not think, however, that the question
ought to have presented any difficulty TO his
mind. If he would neither occupy nor an
mex Mexico, as he says he would not, and if
he would oppose the unconditional with
drawal Of our army from MEXICO, without the
negotiation of IL treaty Of peace, as we sup
pose he would, surely there is 70 rational
course left but TO take and keepa defensive
line, as recommended by Mr. Calhoun, Glen.
