We have another dull, dresry day, well fitted
10 the funeral ceremonies which engross the atten'

preached the funeral discourse--a very poor affair
in a most unsuitable manner and tone. The ser

From Mexico.
NOrth-lIn
Der, 1916.

From the New Orleans papers of the 10Th instant
we CLEAN the following items of intelligence from
Mexico and Vera Cruz, brought by the steamship
Maria Burt which left the latter port oil the 18th In
slant, bringing intelligence from the capital down te
the 9th November:
BY this arrival, dates of the Sd of October have
been received from Lower California The Mexican:
claim a victory over the party OF Americans who
landed at Mulege and fought all day, but forced
to re-embark The English government has protest
ed against raising forced loans from English resident;
in Mexico
Correspondents at Queretaro state that the Gov
errors of different States were in favor of peace ex.
ccpting San Luis. Bustamente has been nominated
General in Chief of the Army. Herrera was very
ill--not expected TO live, at the last accounts.
The partizans of Santa Anna have withdrawn from
Congress, in compliance with his instructions. They
are all in favor of continuing the War.
The City of Mexico continues quiet. The accounts
of the arrest of Generals Worth and Pillow, and 1t
COL Duncan, are fully confirmed.
The ports of Mazatlan and Guaymas, on the Pacl
fic are in the possession of the Americans The lat
ter surrendered after being fired on an hour by the
frigates Portsmouth and Congress, under the com
mand of Lavallette.
MIR. Ward, bearer of dispatches from Col Mason
Governor of California, arrived at New Orleans OF
his way to Washington.
Santa Anna is said to have gone to Luxtepec will
small escort He is violently abused by those whc
favor peace.
The Governor of Chihuahua apprehends another in
vasion and says he is prepared to meet the deteset
invaders.
The Department of Tamaulipas has declared it
Independence, and has ordered Gen. Urea to be put
upon trial for crimes committed within her territory
Immediately after the declaration. there appeared
armed parties the roads leading 10 Victoria, Soto
Marina and lula, to establish Custom Houses at 6C
and 80 miles distance, at which duty of 10 per cent
to be collected of all traders coming from Tam
pco with goods and merchandise; and this tax, oil
duty. appears to be acceptable TO the Mexicans ant
foreign people in Tampico A better state of affairs
is expected in short time.

Heads oTatti,e CapitoI!

We understand that the political guillotine was
again set in motion yesterday, that some four or hye
political heads were CHOPPED off. Messrs. Joseph +:
Brown, Randall Mclaughlin, Thomas D. Harris, aid
Mahlon H. Medary, know to have been thus sum-
marriy dealt with. These gentlemen, we are assured
among the most worthy, upright, business like
men of our communit,-men who have, under the
late Clerk of the House, Major French. performed all
their duties faithfully and acceptaby. Mr. McLaugh-
lin is man advanced in years, with large family
to maintain, and by means in afiiuent circumsian-
ces. He has in the army, who has fought like
hero in nearly every batile from Vera Cruz to Mex
leo; and while he has stood unscathed amid the dy-
ing and the Dead in the very face Of the Mexican
enemy abroad the wings at home, have stricken down
bis aged father and taken the bread from the mouths
of his family
We presume the rest, the most of those clerks
(who are democrats) will go likewise They are
like the victims in the Of the Cyclops. The only
question is, who is the last to be devoured! Poly
phemus ate them up one by one, suited his appe.
lite. We presume the destiny awaits the unfor-
tunate clerks of the House of Representatives. Sc
long as the convenience of the Office requires it, they
may be spared; but in due they will be sacri-
feed. Less than two short years WILL at any rate sci
all things right.-Wdsh. Union Dec. Is, 1S47.
