Late ARRIVAL from Vera Cruz.

Late Arrival from Vera CRUZ.
The New Orleans P~icayune, Of the 29ti,
contains advices by the arrival of the stea-
mer .Nty Orleans from Vera Cruz, up to.
the oath ultimo. The New Orleans brings
quite a number of passengers, principally
from the army Ct occupation; We observe
the names of Gen. Pierce, Capt. Magr"der
of the Artillery, and many other officers on
the list. She also brought the remains of
Col. Butler, Col. Dickinson, Col. Martin
Scott, with several other Colonels, Captains,
Li~cu:enaits and privatcs.
By this arrival, dates arc no later from
the City of Mexico, though some items Of
interest are detailed. The Free american
saws, that on the 9th of November, Gen
Lane, with a detachment, had a fight with
the Mcxicans, at a place called Aiatamoros,
in which he whipped them, made several
prisoners, but lost Lieut.. Ridsley Of the
Artillery, and Assistant Adjutant General
to Gen. Lane. The same paper speaks
well of ien. Lane, and says III the space Of
three months, since lie left Vera Cruz, "he
has fought, and gained, no less than five
battles"
The news from Queretaro is unimpor-
tant. The correspondent of the Picayune,
though not SO late, gives interesting details
of affairs in the City. The arrival of Col.
Jack Hays, with his noted Rangers, is said
to have attracted general attention. The
LeperCs were as still as death while the
Rangers paradcd through the streets of the
city. The intelligent sought early for a
sight of the man, who, for twelve years, las
been the terror of their Nation.
A project for a railroad from Mexico to
Vera Cruz, is openly discussed in the Capt.,
tai, by both Mexicans and Americans.
Other arrivals, that have been mentioned
befure, are spoken of,-Gen. Gushing and
Gen. Butler with from three to five thou
sand men. The ~Picayune's correspond
ent thinks the Mexicans will soon believe
we are about to occupy their country in
earnest.

ON this resolution is not Indicative of the

vetoed contained provisions not niece ssary

the resolution as unobiectionable, though
perfectly unnecessary. So it was consid-

object was to show the sense of the House
to be against the argument of the veto

the principle of the resolution perfectly cor

for several works are included in one bill.
1t is a dangerous principle Of Legislation,
and if carried out, will bankrupt the Treas

its own merit. If the Improvement design

Il We received the other day a letter
from GU old countyman and friend, Doctor
WILLIAM McCLuRE, who a few years since
removed to the vicinity of R~ocheport, Mo.
From it We learn, that the importance of
our position as a business point, is becom-
ing known even in that vicinity. We will
say to him, that we expect soon to see Lou
isiana the mart for the trade of all the coun-
ties lying between US and the Missouri Riv>
er. "The necessary exertions on the part
OF her Citizens, to use his own language,
is all that is required to give her a promi-
nent position amongst the most business
towns of the State.
We are glad too, to learn from other
sources that our friend is now quite com
fortably situated,-haVing recently erected
a most beautiful family residence { of a new
style,) upon a still more beautiful farm; and
that he is about to resume the practice of
medicine to a limited extent. That is right,
for there is too much good timber in him to
be laid aside so early in life. His compet-
ltors will ind, upon an acquaintance, that
ne can measure more miles, make up more
prescriptions, and rub off more diseases, in
a given time, than almost any other son of

Important Speech BY Mr.. CalhOan.-
Shortly after the opening Of the Senate
chamber this morning, the gallaries were
densely crowded by an intelligent audience
TO l,ea the discussion whichwa expected
to take place upon the special order OF the
day-Mr. Calhoun's Resolutions, in relation
to the war with Mexico.
Mr.. Calhoun took the floor and maintain
ed it for a considerable length of time, in
defence and support ofhis resolutions. He
declared that the further prosecution of the
war was unnecessary. That in IFS lncep-
ton it was wrong, and produced solely by
the act of the President, and not by any act
of Mexiso: He denied that there had been
adequate cause for the c~ommencement OF
hos:iiiiies between the two countries, and
Insisted that the existing state oil Fittings had
been brought about without any just or
sufficient reason. lie ~strenuously urged
the withdrawal of the troops now in Next
co, 10 a defensive line, to be held until a
satisfactory treaty should have been ratified
between Mexico and the United States
lie observed that Ire had originally opposed
the war for reasons other than those now
offered, but its speedy termination was now
%counse led by impending dangers menac-
ing the prosperity and happiness of the
people of the United States in its continual
ton. We are threatened by an immense
National debt, and will ofnecessity be COM

large portion of our citizens, as well as en-
dangering the permanently Of our civil and
religious institutions. He denounced the
proposition for a further prosecution Of the
war, in the hope of securing greater chan
ces of indemnity, by its longer continuation
and finally endangering our free institutions
by tue annexation of such portions of for
ieisn country as may be acquired by the
force of farms. He opposed all the Presi-
dents recommendations, made in his last
annual Message to Congress, in relation to
the Mexican war, SC. Mr.. Calhoun con-
cluded by an earnest appeal to the Senate:
to investigate well the objects to be gained
by the further prosecution Of the war, and
to carefully consider the results that are
likely to be produced by such course.
. The resolutions were, after Mr.. Caihoun'S
speech, postponed to a future day.
The proceedings of the House to-day
were unimportant.
Uashington, Jan. 7-l2M.
The Senate was not in session to-day.
