LATEST FROM MEXICO.

The Charleston Courier of the Sd instant brings
US the latest news from Mexico, twenty-four hours
in advance of the regular Mail from New Orleans.
We quote as follows:
ga detachment under Col. Wynkoop captured Gen.
Valencia and his ad and COL Arista, at the hacienda
of the former, Tepijaco, the lst OF January Col
Wynkoop was in pursuit of Jarauta and Rea at the
time. These escaped him few hours only. Gen.
Valencia and Col. Arista released on parole.
Coils. Torrejon, Minon and Gaund were shortly at
forwards captured at Amazuca, near Puebla, by Do
minguez, Captain of the Mexican spy company In
the service of the United States.
Gen. Cadwallader's command, consisting OF the
4th Artillery 6th 9Th and lth Infantry left the city
of Mexico on the Sd instant for Toluca. The troops
in fine spirits at the prospect OF active service
once more. They had reached Lerma at the last ac-
counts, without molestation.
On the 4th instant, Major Ialllatero arrived In
Mexico from Real del Monte with detachment of
the 9th Infantry and twenty dragoons in charge OF
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in silver bars
"a part of the levied upon the State and
Federal District of Mexico
The rumor prevailed in the city of Mexico that the
Mexican Commissioners had offered plan of peace
based upon Mr. Trist's propositions at Tacubaya-
which had been sent to Washington City. The de-
parture from the tlimdtu offered by Mr.. Trst, was
supposed to be demand for $50 600 900 for the ter
ritory proposed to be surrendered to the United
States.''
On the 18th of January Colonel Hays and some of
his men had brush with Padre Jarauta, some twen-
ty or thirty miles from the City. Jarauta seen
to fall from his horse which, together with his lance
and cloak, fell into the hands of Col. Hays His
saddle was bloody, from which it inferred that
the reverend scoundrel was killed.
The plan of an nsurrection had been laid by the
Mexicans in the City, but Gen. Scott got wind of it,
and by his orders and prompt action, preserved tran
uuillity.

CRUMBS OF COMFORT.

The New York Express-one of the most decided
Whig papers in the Union-is continually dropping
&" crumbs of comfort for the Taylor Wings The
following from that paper of the lst instant, we clay
the table, for the particular benefit of such no
party Tayorites as Messrs. Gales, Meares, Miller,
and Loring:
ssBut General Taylor is a Wing we are told !!

''Is it possible that General Taylor can see the
motley that he is assembling about him for<the
Presidency? There is not Tyler man, from Texas
to Maine, that is not Taylor too. There is not
deserter from the Wings or the Democrats, from
Dan to Beersheba, that is not Taylor man. Every
thing that has been cast off kicked off the two
great parties of the country, naturally cngs the
skirts of Taylor's popularity, they clung to the
skirts of Tylers power. We do not mean to say
that there may not. be thousands who are not his

of their respective parties when they went through

votes for Salisbury.

ferable, and consulting Others we find such is the
general opinion. The seat of Government Is the
proper place for such meetings. But we are not OBJ

cracy in council wherever they will.
We make the following extract from letter just

Mr.. HOLDEN: Recently in the House of Repre-
sentatives there was motion introduced by MEM
Der of that body from the State of Massachusetts for
the withdrawal of our army in Mexico to the east
bank of the Rio Grande, and demanding only the
payments from Mexico of those claims which she
Justly owed our citizens previous to the commence
ment of hostilities. Now it is strange incident that
Mr.. Nathaniel Boyden, (although he is native of
Massachusetts, should have cast his vote in favor of
such an act. He is whig " dyed in the woofn,S
and his friends, previous to his election to the hon
orable station which he now occupies, were warned
of the danger of having men in power as Northern
men with Southern feelings" Thus if they
not void of reason and common sense) they can see
the position he has taken Southerner and Repre-
sentative of Slaveholding constituency in regard to
their views as to the withdrawal of our army and
receiving indemnity from Mexico for the expenses
of the war, and security for the future.
Now this Nathaniel Boyden, when efforts
Were made for that purpose in Western Carolina,
couraged individuals pulicly volunteer their serYi
soldiers during the Mexican war, "to avenge
their country's wrongs And now, l repeat it, it
is strange incident that he should have voted for
such proposition as he did. Did he wish our gal
liant army to go there and fight merciess foe just
for the fun of it! Or did he vote in accordance with
the wishes of his Massachusetts friends Or did his
aversion to the ADMINISTRATOR policy Of conducting
the war cause itl Why did he advocate such
policy whene eleconeering among his constituents
| will leave these questions to be answered bXxSel
honorable gentleman and those who supported him.
But, if answer the question for him, should
say that he moved either by his good wishes for
his sweet old Abolition home, massachusetts, or
Prejudical design to cripple the means Of the Admin
straton for conducting the war to an honorable close
and affording aid and comfort to the enemy and the
Whig party the expense of the Democracy and the
whole counys interest, for the purpose of securing
their designs at the coming Presidential contest.
All of these Whig projects were in agitation con-
corning the manner of conducting and closing the
war when Mr.. Boyden was canvassing among his
present constituents. He then proessed to be in ia
vor of prosecuting it to an honorable close. But
what has wrought this change in the spirit of his
dream2 Oh! consistency, thou art indeed price
less jewel. Was it for this purpose that the Rayne
mander was brought aboutl Was it from fear of de-
feat that Mr.. Boyden heretofore remained in the posi-
