SUMMARY,

For the first time in some weeks, we last night
received exciting intelligence from Mexico. Gen.
Price, 1t seems, met large force of Mexi-
cans, under Gen. Trias, at Santa Cruz, near Ell
Passo, and after a hard fought battle, put them to
route. large amount of artillery and public pro-
perry, valued at $sOO,OOO were captured from the
enemy. Altogether, the affair seems to have been
one which will compare favorably with the
former brilliant achievements of American arms.
The Mexican Congress, at Queretaro, have not
yet numbered quorum, and the prospects Of peace
are still in the perspective.
From Washington, our Congressional reports do
not record the transaction of much business in
either branch. The Senate was occupied in listen
ing to Reyerdy Johnsons opinions of the extent of
the constitutional powers of the President; and
debate on the question OF giving reliefto Yucatan.
In the House, a discussion was had on the pro-
priety Of admitting Wisconsin as State into the
Union; and in endeavoring to ascertain the cheap
est way of getting bookbinding performed. The
above made up the days work Of our republican
lords and commons.
