VERA CRuz, DECEMBER 20, lsi7.
The New Orleans will leave in the morning for
nf at
late battles III the valley OF Mexico; and although they pre-
melancholy picture, with what joy viii they place their
feet upon freedoms soil once more and what happy return
| 10 their friends
The arrival Of this train has enyened Vera Cruz to such
that who had only il when il its
usually dull appearance would hardly recognise the
CITY, The rhrcnged with the Of transport
talon for goods and the materials of the INTERIOR while
the sidewalks the public Offices thronged with san-
gers officers, and solder, preparing to embark for home
Col Dominguez made his second grand entry into Vera
Cruz about o'clock to-day but he brings no later dates from
Mexico than those which you have doubt this receiv
ed is reported that Mr. Trst will reach here with
| an escort Of cavalry.
BY this command may obtain something interesting and
authentic respecting the propositions which reported TO
have been made by the Mexcan send commissioners to
Havana TO negotiate although have no idea that even
such proposition has been made that viii be carried out,
The latest from ueetaro represent affairs as be-
ing in rather uprosrious condition
The Presidents message reached yesterday and created
interest than that has bfen received IN
Vera Cruz for long time and perhaps the Mcxcans felt
deeper interest than the Americans tor they have deeper
interest in the future dc tiny Of the country.
Although the road from this 10 Mexico Is now lined with
troops and every advantageous point permanently gasencd
the guerrcros make their appearance occasional
w. and yesterday they not only wounded Lieut. Gordon, OF
the rifle regiment, two places but captured about hum
ded pack mules which snort distance behind the
mand, and the property OF Mexicans.
Gen TwIGgs has assumed the command Of the department
with good deal Of energy and he will doubt make many
changes the administration Of affairs in this department
never saw the old General lock better than be does
Col Wilson's departure appears TO be of regret to
all and but few will leave sincere friends in Vera
Cruz than he that he has obtained leave of absence
for few weeks visit bis family, when he viii return = as
sumo command Of his regiments which leaves in few days
for Mexico
Col BASKuEAr, during the few days he has been amongst
u.s. has made many ends and when he leaves, whichever
end of the road taxes Ire will take the good viii OF all who
have formed his acquaintance along with tim.
II has become pretty CERTAIN learn from many who
came with the train that Lieut. OSuvun, who was promo
ted for his gaany a, Pao Alto and distinguished himself by
his gaany in the last battles before Mexico after throwing
up his commission joined the Mexcans AMI has received an
appointment of Colonel the Mexican army although as
gallant and brave as lived he dgraced himself on
many OCCASIONS by which he lost the respect OF all his asso
cacs aud may fight hard against the American Nag as
he has fought for it,
Gen PlEucE will be passenger onhe New Odeans, and,
as learn, will resign he reaches Washington.
