TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
STARTLING NEWS FROM SALTILL0.
Apprehension Of a Fight.
Capture Of Americans by the Enemy.
Execution of MutineerS in the American Camp.
&C., SC, &c.

PETERSBURG, Feb. IT, ls43
Through the medium of the overland express,
we have again been placed in possession of hi gh-
ly interesting intelligence from the war quarter,
three days In advance of the mail.
From the New Orleans Picayune of the 18th
inst, we learn that information had been re-
ceived from Saltillo, such as to indicate that
there was work on hand for the American troops,
who were encamped at Ell Passo, on their way
to chihuahua.
The Mexicans were reported to be in conside-
rable numerical force, and having twelve Paros
cannons, with which it was their intention to OPP
pose the march of the Americans.
Squire Collins, with small party of Ameri-
cans, started for Santa Fe, all of whom, as is
stated, were taken prisoners. How they will
fare, remains to be seen.
They were captured at Preside del Norte, by
large body of Mexcans.
One of the members of Capt. Mears' company
of mounted volunteers, was condemned and shot
during the latter part of December, for threaten
ing to take the life of his captain at Buena Vista
Alexander Neason, also a member of Capt
Mears' company, was hung at Salhllo for wilful
murder, having shot one of the Mexican Reve-
nue. Guard.

ADVERTISEMENTS received for one inser
ton only
The Electric telegraph.

We present this morning, an abstract of un-
usually interesting intelligence, received by The
lightning line to the latest hour last night.
We have dates from New Orleans to the llth
inst. An arrival at that port furnishes informa-
ton of rather an exciting character, respecting
contemplated attack upon portion of the
American forces in New Mexico, by large body
OF Mexicans. A battle was expected to take
place at Ell Passo, which has already been the
scene of glorious victory to the American arms
land we look for similar result in the conflict
now anticipated. Other intelligence of an in
eresting nature, brought by the same arrival,
will be found detailed under the proper head.
We learn from Washington, that the slavery
question was debated in the Senate, yesterday,
on Mr. Yulee's substitutes for the resolutions
offered by Mr.. Dickinson. The remainder of
the day was occupied by Mr.. Rusk, of Texas, in
speech upon the ten regiment bill. Mr.. R.
presented the subject in some new and original
phases. In the House of Representatives, the
loan bill passed through showers of hot shot
directed from batteries IN various quarters, but
came through the ordeal without serious mutla-
ton, and is now ready to receive the action of
the Senate.
In cur State Leg slature, nothing was done
calculated to alarm the most timid, or give
hopes to the most sangulne.

bug, and fun. Thank heaven that seed time
and harvest-the sun and MONDAY and night,
have not yet ceased entirely, nor do we expec
they will for year at least. The Mississippi
river, and the Hudson, the Falls Of Niagara,
and the Broadway omnibuses, still roll along
the tide of time. Now mark-unless the Balti-
more convention nominate General Taylor, and
go for the anne xaton of all Mexico, we begin to
think that Henry Clay will be the next President
of the United States. AS matters now stand, he
has the best chance for the votes of New York.

TERRIBLE FAILURE IN THE CRoPs.-We under
stand that the fine weather which we have had
and enjoyed, during the present winter, is pro-
ducing prodigious panic among certain pro-
duce dealers; and that the alarm is raised, and
positive complaint, of the failure Of the winter
crop. The last two evenings have been most
brilliant, beautiful and glorious moonlight. The
days were an equally bright sunlight, with little
or no frost; and the crop of ice, which was ex-
pected to be gathered from the lakes in the Nor.
thern States, wllbe failure, according to all APP
pearances. In fact, it is believed that, hereai-
ter, we shall have to annex all Canada to the
United States, in order to prevent any future
failure in the crop of ice. What will the wine
bibbers do for ice next August!

FOREIGN NEws-FoREIGN CORRESPONDENCE
We received, by the steamship Hibernia, letters
from our various literary, political, and fashion
able correspondents, scattered all over Europe,
extending from Liverpool to Constantinople, and
embracing Italy, Spain, and Germany, all of
which we shall endeavor to give to our readers
tomorrow, if possible This correspondence
contains vast quantity of novel and interesting
intelligence, principally the letter from our Paris
correspondent, which gives the movements of
the American fashionables in the French metro
polls. 1t is quite curious. The foreign cores
pondence of the Herald is more extensive and
more complete than that of any other journal
ever published in this country.

SENATOR BREEsE ON MRxIco.-We observe
that the Senator from Illinois, Judge Breese, is
almost the only bold man that has taken decisive
ground in favor of the annexation or absorption
of all of Mexico. The declarations of the other
Senators are generally halt and half, twaddling
and silly. Senator Breese comes up to the mark;
| and as this question will, undoubtedly, be a
party issue at the Presidential election, we
should not be surprised to see Judge Breese one
of the most prominent candidates for the Pres-
dency before many weeks are over. He is an
able, accomplished, eloquent, and decided states
man; and this is the age for such men.

CHARGES AND CENsUREs ON GENERAL Scorr.-
The Washington correspondent of a New Or.
leans paper says, that Gen. Scott looks upon the
public service as a secondary consideration when
1t comes in contact with his own private animosi.
ty, and gives as a reason. that he purchased corn
at Jalapa at two dollars per bushel and trans.
ported 1t to Pero,e, where 1t could have been
purchased at twelve shillings that he rejected
the advice Of the Secretary of War that he EN-.
ployed man named Garcia as his Interpreter !;
tina he eagerly courted the acquaintance of the
monarchical party, and studiously avoided the
republicans and also censures him for making
the armlstice. Now We apprehend that this is
all extremely silly. Gen Scott was not sent to
Mexico to hlggle about the price of corn, and to
flnf out where the market was the cheape ST. and
II he did not follow, 10 the letter, the advice
which Mr.. Marcy gave him, we think it has
been all the better for the country, and the repu.
tation of our army. Gen. Scott, if he has been
deceived and duped by the Mexicans, is not the
only person who has been thus treated by them !;
but we think he has given them lesson in the
art OF fighting which they will be likely to re.
member for come time. Gen. Scott may have
his iduts, but 1t is nonsense to take him to task
about the price of corn, or blame him for being
duped by people whose duplicity is part of their
disposition. Pray, who duped Mr.. Polk1

er than at home; they ask the North to print
their school books and primers because it is
done for less than their neighbors could do
il, aud so on TO the end Of the chapter. But
what need to speak of these thingsl The
blessings and advantages of free toll, as well
as the curse Of slave labor is written in no
obscure characters upon the page Of our coun-
lty's history, and all who will may read the
record. 1t takes something more than bold
assertion, something more than eloquent and
classical h~umbug-and we know not better
how TO characterize this address to the ciii.
zens of Scott Co.-to overthrow facts and
it is to be regretted that Geo. w. Johnson
has prostitu,ed his talents and his genius to
the defence Of the vilest system Of wrong
that ever man concocted.

Smith 0'Brian.

1t appears, has been adjudged guilty Of High
Treason, condemned to be hung, his head
then to be cut off, his body quarlered, and
the quarters 10 be placed at the disposal Of
Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria
Defender Of the Christian faith, and the Head
of the Established church. A pretty present
this, for a delicate young lady to receive; but
such is the law, and such the sentence Of the
court.
Many-both in this country and Great Bri-
tain-are crying out against the b~arbarity Of
such a law and we Americans do especial
ly glorify ourselves, because our National
statute book is not disgraced by such a relic
Of a dark and bloody age. The deed con-
templated by Smith O'Brian, would, if con-
summated, have destroyed the supremacy of
the British Government in Ireland, and have
caused the sacrifice Of thousands Of lives
Treason is the highest crime known 10 a go
vernment, and it is therefore meet it should
he visited with the highest penalty. It's
commission involves murder, and many 9TH
er crimes; and while the British government
would recoil from the thought of INJECTING
such a barberous punishment, upon HIM who
has been guilty only of murder, it regards ii
as the il st doom of a greater cIiminal-the
traitor.
But in this, England is certainly behind
the spirit of the age, though perhaps not SO
far behind as some other nations. We have
in our mind one that claims to be as enlight-
ened, as humane, and as christian as Eng
land, one of hose laws declares that in the
case of ARSON committed by a certain class
of persons, the offender shall hare his head
cut IF, his body diuided into quarters, and The
parts set up in the most public places!
What think you, reader, of such a fact
If you would seek this law with the expec-
tation of finding it, look not for it among
those of Italy, search not the statutes of Aus
tria, trouble not yourself with an inquiry in.
to the character of Prussian laws, but go &c
the slave code of the DIsTRIcT OF CoLUM
BIA, there seek and ye shall find IL!
