Important WING Movement,

The two sections OF the wing party present a
considerable degree of agitation and efferves-
cence at this moment in this metropolis. For
many months past the democrats have been in
state of dissenson all over the State but hither-
to the wing party have escaped, with the excep-
ton OF the mere preliminary dissensons am ong
the editors. Now they have TO take the medi-
cine in real earnest.
The wing party is divided between Mr.. Clay
and General Taylor. The Fourierite section
of the wings, the ultra radical, philosophical,
social, religious section, who have adopted the
doctrines of Fourier, and are about laying
aside the maxims inculcated by Jesus Christ
have come forth in full tilt, and are goin
the whole for Mr.. Clay, in opposition to
General Taylor. Accordingly, the young mems
committee of the Fourierite section, have
called mass meeting on Thursday of this
week at Castle Garden. This has been done
N consequence Of the movements made by
the conservative or national section Of the whig
party, or those in favor of Gen. Taylor for the
next presidency The Taylor men in the Rough
and Ready Club have called meeting to-mor-
row night, at Military Hall-a sort of mass
meeting-to which two distinguished speakers
from Washington have been invited, and at
Wnlcn tney VIII denver tnelr sentiments. Cost
Johnson is one of them, formerly member of
Congress, an eloquent member, from Maryland
Col. Baker, formerly member of Congress from
illinois, and who distinguished himself in the
campaign on the Rio Grande, is another gentle
man invited and he is one of the most eloquent
men Of The day. In addition 10 these two meet
ings, there is, also, to be held, next week, the
great mass meeting called by those nu-
merous individuals who signed the paper in
Wall street and elsewhere-a mass meeting that

other hand the friends of Gen. TAYLOR disnp,e
this point; and these meetings are called and
will be held, for the purpose of deciding the
point in dispute some way or the other.
Il will be seen that all those meetings by the
two sections Of the wing party-the Fourierte
section in favor of Mr.. Clay, and the national or
conservative section in favor of Gen. Taylor
will exercise very great influence on the fu.

PETERSBURG, Feb. IA, 1913.
The overland express has at length arrived,
having forced its way through the snow, bring.
ing papers from New Orleans of the 9th, 7th, and
9Th inst aud from Mobile to the 9Th.
The steamship McKim, the bark Archimedes,
and the ships Napier and Danvers, had all arri-
we'd from Vera Cruz and Tampico, bringing in
teligence from the former place to the 10Th ult.,
FIVE days later than previously received.
Different correspondents at Vera Cruz give con-
Trajectory accounts as to the prospect of imme-
date peace.
advices from Queretaro there was not quorum
of Congress in attendance. General Anaya was
succeeded by Pena Pena as President, and
new one was to be chosen when Congress as
sembles.
Rumors were af1oat that Mr. Trist had been in
conference with the Mexican commissioners
again, and that certain terms were agreed upon;
but nothing authentic is known of what they
were.
A courier, who was sent to the capital with
the Presidents Message, by MIR. Peoples, for
the american Star, was, on his return, taken
into the bushes, stripped and shot by some que
rlllas.
Colonel McLelland, with 300 infantry and 200
mounted men, had started to follow up the ORR
zaba road and cut off robbers, who are represent
ed as in large force on the main road to Puente
Nacional.
It was positively asserted, by merchants well
informed of affairs in the interior, that General
Lane was moving on Orizaba with 500 cavalry.
The Free american of 26th ult., says that Capt.
Whipple had arrived from the capital, and reports
the capture of Orizaba, and its being in quiet
possession of the body Of American troops de-
spatched from the capital.
Col HAYS, with one hundred rangers and a
few volunteers, reached Teotlhuacan on the 18th
inst, in pursuit of Padre Jarauta; and while re-
posing at hacienda, with horses unsaddled and
unbridled, Padre Jarauta came suddenly upon
them with body of guerillas, and severe con-
test ensued. Eight Mexicans were killed and
left on the field, and the whole body successful
ly repulsed-the Americans sustained no injury.
Padre Jarauta was last seen on his horse, severe
ly wounded, and the animal was afterwards
found loose, the blood running down his sides.
The train which left the capital on the 18th,
consisting of about two hundred wagons, arriv-
ed at Vera Cruz in safety, on the 9th, and with
out molestation. This train met Gen. Marshall
and Col Miller, with their respective commands,
at Puebla.
News from the capital is down to the l4th ult

The Electric Telegraph.

The electric telegraph gave us an abundance
of valuable information last night from the pro-
mineni parts of the country.
From Petersburg-the southern terminus OF
the wires-we have five days later intelligence
from Mexico, brought to New Orleans by arri-
walls from Vera Cruz and Tamplco. The advices
from Mexico contain nothing authentic relative
10 peace; although rumoTs were rife that Mr.
Trist had had another conference with the Mex
lean commissioners, and that terms had been
agreed upon; but we are not appraised Of the fact,
whether the commissioners referred to have any
power vested in them to negotiate permanent
treaty. 1t may be, that these Mexican com.
mlssioners, like Mr.. Trist, are merely playing
a game of diplomacy on their own hook,
for innocent pastime, having nothing else at
present to occupy their minds, in the absence of
a quorum in the Mexican Congress- In the NEAR
time, il will be seen that the American army are
extending the area of their possessions. They
had marched on and taken quiet possession of
Orzaba. Pena Pena hasitaken the reins out
of the hands of President Anaya, and intends
driving the government coach until Congress as
scmbes and appoints some other more skilful
whip in his stead. Col. Hays, it will be seen, has
had fight with the guerllas,, under Padra ia
rauta, whom he defeated and in the engage
ment the priest is supposed either to have been
killed or badly wounded. The news from the
capital is TO the l4th ult., at which time all was
quiet.
In Congress, the Senate was engaged with the
consideration of the slavery resolutions, offered
as substitutes TO those of Senators Dix, Foote,
and Downs, and in listening to the speech of
Mr.. Breese, of Illinois, IN defence of the ten
regiment bill, and in support of the administra-
ton. Mr.. Upham has the floor for to-day. In
the House, Mr.. Thompson, of Pennsylvania,
offered resolution to expunge from the journal
the words In the resolution of the Sd of January,
s'that the war unconstitutonay commenced
by the Presidents" which, however, was laid on
the table, by vote of lis TO ga The day was
finished by debate on the war loan bill-Mr.
Duer, OF New York, speaking in opposition to
the loan, the war, and the President; while Mr.
Sims, of South Carolina, on the other hand, de-
Tended, energetically, every point that was at
tackled.
From Albany, we have a rumor that the Utica
Convention intend nominating Gen. Taylor for
President, and Senator Dix for Vice President of
the United States We have also Legislative re-
ports, &C., for the same quarter.

POLITICAL SPEAKERS FOR THE CAMpAIeN.--The
young orators who intend to take the field in the
ensuing presidential canvass for their respective
candidates. should by all means study perfectly
the "wel known fable OF Esop." One of the most
distinguished of those candidates has made that
species of literature his principal study, and has
drawn all his wisdom in State affairs, and some
of his tactics in military matters, from these
well known fables, we know from letter
recently published at Washington. The well
known fable, If properly used, would exercise a
tremendous effect in the next election.

CoNeREss.-Congress is, as usual, doing no.
thing but talking, talking, talking. Both houses
are idling away their time, and debating from
day to day-the one to increase the army, and the
other to increase the national debt-and neither
coming TO any point. Both of these subjects
might easily be determined in one week, and
the whole matter settled. The members ex-
pend the peoples money in talking all day, and
in the evening they intrigue and electoneer for
their presidential favorites. Will they never
come to point on the two subjects now before
them!

The SPRING ELECTION. The time of the re-
gular spring election for Mayor and Common
Council, of this city, is fast approaching, but as
yet we have seen no preparations made for the
event by either party 1t is full time that the
parties went to work, and selected competent
and able men to manage our municipal affairs,
particularly men who will obey the corporation
laws and ordinances, and the provisions of the
city charter; and not such as will vote Jobs to
themselves or their friends and participate in
the profits, contrary to those ordinances and to
their own oaths. We want such men, too, as
will pay some attention to the streets, and not
mock the tax payers by assessing them heavily
for that purpose, and squandering the money in
other ways. The city of New York is the dlrtiest
in the world, whilst it possesses, in great de-
gree, all the elements requisite to make it the
cleanest; and it would be the cleanest in the
world If the authorities would only do their duty.
