An arrival at New Orleans brings Vera Cruz

COLUMBIA, s. c., Feb. 26th, lS4S.
The daily overland Express package has been
received, and brings dates from New Orleans to
the 2lst, Tampico to the 18th, and Vera Cruz to
the 10th, the two last brought by the English
steamer, which arrived at Cat Island on the Goth
instant.
The steamer brought FIVE passengers for Ha-
vana, five for England, and ten for New Orleans,
and had ON board 100000 in specie.
The courier from the English legation arrived
at Vera Cruz b. fore the steamer sailed, with
dates from the city of Mexico to the 18th.
The american Star of the 18th inst. contains
the official announcement that the treaty of
peace was ratified on the part of the Mexican
Congress, by receiving the signature of Signor
Rosa, Minister of Foreign fairs, on the 10th
inst, which date it bears. A meeting of the
Deputies and Senators who were In the city was
held, but only twenty-four were present, and
majority of them were In favor of peace and the
treaty.
General Lane reached the capital safely on the
10th, from his excursion upon Orizaba, and with
out further adventure.
Lieutenant Yascin, of the Kentucky volunteers
is dead
Lieutenant Clark, with his company, was at
Cuerunevassa on the 9th inst, and Gen. Alvarez
was making great efforts to cut of his supplies.
Lieut.. Clark was taking every effort to thwart
such plans, and had been, so far, successful.
The Star, of the 18th, says that Santa Anna had
asked for passport to leave the republic, and that
he recommends to his friends to yield up the
contest with the United States, sue for peace,
and establish good government.
Pena-y.Pena publishes letter in which he
states that the government of Queretaro, in con-
junction with Gen. Scott, have resolved upon
the Imprisonment Of Santa Anna, and thus re.
move the only obstacle which exists against a
speedy conclusion Of peace.
There was considerable animation exhibited
at Queretaro. Business was fast revivlng under
the general belief that peace was at hand, it not
already concluded.
The american Star of the 10th says the an
nouncement had been officially made by the
Minister of Foreign Relations, that the treaty
had been signed second time by Mr.. Trist for
the United States, and Sgnor Cuevas for the
Commissioners of the Mexican government.
The Mexican papers confirm the articles of the
treaty in the matter of the cession of all of New
Mexico, Texas, and Upper California, on their
part, and the payment of fifteen millions bonus,
and five millions for our citizens claims against
Mexico by the United States.

II was announced short time ago that the
British Post Office Department contemplated TO
change the days OF the departure of the English
mail steamers from Liverpool, from Saturday to
Wednesday. This arrangement may have COM

is now daily expected. IF so, she sailed on the

therefore, be due at Boston till Thursday or Fri

The TREATY According to all accounts from
Washington, great excitement will attend the
discussion OF the treaty with Mexico in the Sc
cret session OF the Senate. 1t is believed by all,
that that clause of the treaty which recognizes
the grants Of lands in Texas before 1885, will be
stricken out. At all events, the prospects are
not so bright OF the confirmation OF the treaty
by our government as they have been, or that the
striking out of that section will be agreed to by
Mexico.

New MOVEMENT IN THE WHO RANKs-GEN.
ScoTT IN THE FIELD.-We give in another
column, al account of an important mass meet
ing held at Pittsburgh, for the nomination of
General Scott as the whig candidate for the
next presidency. Mark and digest.
This Is the first meeting of the kind that has
taken place in the present canvass; but no doubt
it will be followed up by othe The meeting
seems to have been well attended, quite enthu-
siastic, and has given great concern and chagrln
to the friends of Mr. Clay In that city, as will ap.
pc ar by the comments of one of their journals
on the meeting. We have no doubt the friends
of Gen. Scott, in the State of New Jersey, will
soon move in the same way and we have every
reason to believe that meeting in this city will
soon be got up for the same purpose. In fact,
Gen. Scott may yet be most formidable wing
candidate for the next presidency.
Mr.. Clay's time we expect is short, and unless
the democrats take up Gen. Taylor at the Balti :
more convention, there is some probability that
Gen. Scott will yet sweep the field. Apropos-
is Mr.. Polk afraid to publish the Scott and Trist
correspondence Does he really fear that il may
make General Scott the next Presidentl

Aggregate highest circulation. :. ....

This is the largest aggregate circulation Of
any newspaper establishment in the world.
With these facts exhibiting our real business
and circulation, it may be asked why the I'ri
bune concern should have wished to conceal the
actual circulation of the Herald, or why our
umpire should have agreed to sign such paper !
This is easily answered. 1t sprung from the
meanness and contemplate dupicity of the
Tribune concern, and the liberallty and generosi-
ty Of the Hraid The moment the examination
was begun, it was ascertained that the Herald
would win the bet by large majority. All the
efforts Of the Tribune were accordingly directed
TO the conceament Of the large circulation of
the Herald, by refusing TO agree to any statement
which exceeded theirs to any remarkably extent
and to throw the responsibility on us of defeat
ing the decision of the bet They reduced our
daily circulation without any reason, and ex-
cluded our Sunday circulation; but yet had the
supreme folly and ignorance to include in the mu-
tual statement the aggregate amount OF white
paper used by both, which proves the fact We
wish TO state, and shows up completely the de-
ception and meanness on the other side
For the truth OF these statements regarding
our business and circulation, any person of re-
spectacle standing in New York, will, at any
time, be permitted TO visit our establishment,
and satisfy himself Of its correctness. The
books are kept with an accuracy unparalleled in
Newspaper business, and those of the Tribune
ale kept without order or reeulsrlty of any kind

WIsCoNsIN.-We have received from Hon.
Robert Smith, Of Illinois, copy of document
containing reasons why the boundaries of Wis
consln, as reported by the Com nttee of Con.
gress for the admission of that Territory into The
Union as a State, should not be adopted. A bill
is now before Congress for the admission OF
Wisconsin into the Union and as we understa nd
it, the boundaries are So fixed that the State OF
Wisconsin will contain some 10000 square miles
of territory two thirds larger than all New
England, and full as large as Nav York, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania combined. The State
would be out of all proportion with the other
States, and, as we view it, it would be unjust TO
the free States. We can see no rea son why free
Territories should be formed into States of such
unwieldy size. 1t must be announcement to the
people of the State and it curtails the free States
of their fair weight in the Senate of the United
States. A new boundary has been proposed,
which if adopted, will make Wisconsin about the
size of New York and Massachusetts combined.
Large enough for all practical purposes. -.4tdS.
O. The editor of the Indiana Register gives
his readers good advice. He says ''t you want
to buy goods cheap, go where they advertise
them. Merchants who are too singy to adver-
tise, are too tight to give you fair bargain"

House, is one by Mr.. Grinne, providing that
grain and breadsutls of all kinds, vegetables,
fruits, animals hides, wool, taow, horns, sailed

the product of Canada shall be admitted TO the
United States free of duty when imported direct
