Change OF Front.

The correspondence between General
Scorr and Commissioner TRIsr, from the
first to the last, Is as broad a farce as ever
was played upon the boards. One of its
most amusing features, is the fact that
from having denounced and ridiculed
each other, in language equally harsh and
extraordinary, for the purpose, doubtless,
of consumating a treaty by no means com
mensurate with our losses and II claims
and in order to do this without authori-
ty and in defiance Of authority-they be-
come sworn and devoted friends, and
speak of each other in terms Of fattery
and praise. At this moment from having
been malignant foes, they are Damon and
Pythias ~personified.
But a change still more remarkable has
come over General ScorT. The publish
ed correspondence between himself and
General Taylor exhibits this state oil
things that, after the withdrawal Of the
troops from the line Of the latter for the
expedition upon the capital, TAYLOR
wrote to ScorT in terms Of bitter censure
Of the administration, when Scorr takes
up the cudgels pretty warmly for the adj
ministration. See his letter Of the 26th
of January, l847. Since then, however,
the most bitter assaults upon the Presiden,
and his cabinet, have been made by the
same distinguished General.
We allude to these exhibitions as more
curious in themselves, than either credita-
BILE to the country, or to those concerned
in them.-Pennsylvanian.

MIR. TriSt-Gcn. Butler.
We copy the following from the N. o
Picayune O the 18th instant:

MEXICO, March %, 1913.
Mr.. Freaner, who arrived here on the
10th instant, with dispatches from Wash
ington, brought among other communica-
tons, an order to General Butler to send
Mr.. Trist out Of the country as sool as
he had given his evidence before the court
Of inquiry, and, l am led to believe, as a
prisoner. General Butler Immediately
communicated to Mr.. Trist the orders of
the government, and appraised him of his
intention to execute them. Mr. Trist
then addressed a long letter to Gen. But
Ter, denying his right to arrest, or forcibly
move from the country, an American citi-
zen. The reply of the General was,
briefly, that he had received orders from
his government, imperative in their nature,
and that he would execute them to the
letter; and, furthermore, that it was nei-
Their his duty nor inclination to reply to
the argument of MI. Trist in relation to
his rights as a citizen.
The only further news of importance
received by the Ohio is the conquest of
Chihuahua. In place of being defeated
BY Urea near Ell Paso, our troops enter
ed Chihuahua in triumph on the LIST of
March the second time.

THOSE knowing themselves indebted to the To-
ra Capital Reporter. for subscription or adyer-
tisements, are respectfully reminded that the small
amounts seyearlly due from them are highly neces-
sary in order to enable the undersigned to embark
in some new business for a livelihood. They are
therefore earnestly requested to be prepared Tor the
comirg Of Mr.. Gro. w. GALLOWAY, our travelling
aoent, anu to settle with him in the true spirit OF
equity and amity.
The subs, -ibers to the Reporter are so widely
scattered throughout tbs State, that it will take a
long time for Mr.. Galloway to mae the tour to all
of them, but he will call On eaci! in turn as soon as
possible during the ensuing season. In the mean
time, payment may be made, by remissions Is mall
or otherwise, to me in person at this this city, or In
case of my absence, to either Of successors, GAR
RET D. PALMER or GEO. PAUL., who are also auth
orized to receipt for dues in my name.
Those who are not prepared at the time to pay
the fuH amounts of their dues, will be expected to
settle by note; though the advance price, $500 q
year in hand, will be. much more acceptable than
notes of hand at the highest rate for deferred pay
ments, on persons in different and remote parts OF
the State. AS misunderstanding may arise in some
cases, which would be readily reconciled could lat
tend to the matter in person., my agent has %instruc-

Being determined that no just cause of COM

with a reciprocal feeling and disposition IN those
indebted to me, the same liberal principle by which
nv dealings with subscribers has thus far been reg
ulated, will be observed in the final settlement OF
