LATER FROM MExIco.-By the arrival of
the schooner Adela, Capt. Barber, from Vera
Cruz, the 4tb, we have papers from the city
of Mexico 10 the 9th inst-two or three days
later than we had previously received.
The Monitor of the 7th instant, says that
there are no sufficient reasons to apprehend a
revolution in Mexico, although discussions
have occurred in some of the States, growing
out of old quarrels. 1t exhorts the Govern
ment, however, to keep watchful eye uron
the restless and ill-disposed who whisper trea-
son. Gen. PuiZon had marched under the or
ders OF the Government to put down the dis
turbances in the State of Mexico. Gen. AL
yarez is ordered to cooperate. Toluca was
the city threatened by the insurgents, but they
were rapidly dispersed by the Government
troops under Gen. Noriega.
President Herrera reviewed the National
Guards on the 9TH instant, upon the Alameda.
Their numbers did not exceed 1900. They
were addressed by the President, to whom the
Governor of the District replied.
Tranquility has been entirely re-establshed
in Tampico, the Government troops being re-
nstated in their quarters in the town.
Congress is still in session in the capital
but has done little as yet. The opinion gains
ground that the tariff proposed at the last ses.
sion will be adopted.
The brig Tit was still in quarantine at Vera
Cruz. The fear of the cholera has been very
generally difused through Mexico, but we
hear of no cases of it.

An Interesting Incident.-The delegation
of Chippewa chiefs and warriors were shown
around the Capitol on Friday by their intelli-
gent agent and Interpreter, Major ]. B. Mar
tell. They frequently expressed their Won
der and admiration at the extent and grandeur
OF the building, and the splendid paintings
strongly attracted their attention. From the
Capitol they proceeded to the Statue of Wash
ington, followed by crowd OF ladies and gen.
tlemen. They went up to the front of the
statue and gazed at it for some minutes. with
looks of deep interest depicted upon their
painted faces; then sitting down facing the
statue, one of the chiefs, o a-ba-wiss, filled
his splendid pipe of Peace and held it out to-
wards the statue, saying: "My great father,
we all shake hands with you; we have trav-
elled a long way through the great country
that you acquired for your people BY the aid
of the Great Spirit Your people have become
very great-our people have become very
small may the Great Spirit who gave you
success, now protect US and grant US the ia
yor we ask of our Great Father who now fills
the high place first occupied by you"
The simple supplicatory address was faith
fully interpreted to The bystanders by Major
MartelI, who, in his gentlemanly manners,
appeared there, as he does everywhere excee-
dinghy well.-NGt. Int.

History OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Braxton Bragg
was present at the annual dinner given by the
bar of Mobile on the goth inst, and rose TO
reply to the complimentary toast which was
given to him. Among other things, he sketch
ed the incidents at the battle of Buena Vista,
and took care TO correct an error which had
been generally circulated and believed:
In the course of these remarks (says the
Mobile Register) Col. Bragg corrected the pop
ular story, which associated his name SO much
with the political campaign of last summer,
during which he figured in so many pictures
with a scroll, upon which was painted the
celebrated order said to have been given by
Gen. Taylor al Buena Vista" A little more
grape, Captain Bragg" The Colonel stated
this as fancy sketch altogether No such
occurrence took place on the field of battle !;
and the first he heard of this famous order was
by newspapers from the United States. He
added that many events and much reputation,
as they exist in the popular mind here, had no
other origin than this same inventive faculty
OF the press and IFS correspondents.

FROM YrcATAN

81 By the arrival of the brig Machigonns, at
New Orleans on the oath ult., intelligence
from Yncatan has been received up TO the
I4th ult. The New Orleans Picayune of the
.25th says, that il has received no papers by
this arrival, but learns, verbally, that there
have been several actions between the Amer
lean Volunteers and the Indians, and that the
latter are in such overpowering force as to
make success over them always costly and
often doubtful. On the oath December, a de-
tachment of Americans, about 300 strong, I'M
der Col. Besancon, had an engagement with a
large body of Indians, at Tihosuco. The lat
Ter was estimated at from 5000 10 5000. In
this action, Capt. Kelly and Lieut.. Campbell
were wounded, supposed MORALLY, one private
killed. On Christmas day, the action was re-
sumed, Col. White in command. The Amer
leans lost in this engagement, SO in killed and
wounded. There were about 500 Americans
engaged, against nearly 10000 Indians
On the 9th, the Americans again resumed
the offensive, and marched for Tela, an Indian
town two leagues distant. As on the 25th the
Indians made desperate resistance, with ev-
cry advantage of position and numbers. The
road was barrcaded in some sixty places with
rocks and stones piled up across It. with loop
holes for musketry. They were driven from
one 10 another of these successfully, till after
weary days work and much hard fighting,
the Americans reached Tela, and burnt it,
They lost, this day, men killed and woun-
| ded.
The Picayune also says that on the
9th utimo, Colonel White took up his line
of march from Tihosuco for Bacala, a seaport
on the Bay of Honduras, just north of the set
Elements Here the Indians are represented
as in great force, and this is the port by which
they have all along received their supplies of
munitions, &c. Pat, their most celebrated
chief, is in command here, ana severe en-
gagement is anticipated, which may be deci'
sive of the whole war.
In the various actions spoken of above, the
Indians fought braveIy. though they avoided
as much as possible, a general engagement,
They treated all their American captives bar
bariously, mutiIating their persons in the most
horrible manner. There appears to be many
in their ranks who speak English fuently.-
By these every inducement was held out to
the Americans to desert. '' Booty and beau
ty" were promised them in any quantity. 1t
is impossible for us TO obtain an opinion as
to the probable duration or issue of the war;
From what has been said to US, it would seem
that an impression is beginning to pervade the
volunteers that the Indians are in the right in
the controversy.

REMARKS OF MR.. STEVENSON
OF CRAVEN.

Delivered IN the House of Commons, on Janua
ry Sd, 1849, in reply to Mr.. Satterthwaite,
acho desired the ayes and noes should be sup
pressed upon the amendment to Mr.. Steele's
Resolution.
Mr.. Speaker: The gentleman from
Pitt desires, that the ayes and noes should
not be called upon these resolutions, and
he bases his remarks upon the presump-
ton that this call is move to the demo-
cratic party to embarrass the action eff his
political friends. And Mr.. Speaker, he
appeals to the patriotism of gentlemen on
this side of the House. 1t is question,
he says, on which perfect unanimity is de-
sired we should present bold and unit
ed front. and that this call will have ten
dency to produce division. Now, Mr..
Speaker, is it not surprising that gentle
men over the way should so soon forget
their own history! How long has it been,
Sir, since with the avowed purpose of en-
trapping and involving in political absur-
dity the democratic party, resolutions were
here introduced with call of the ayes and
noes? Why Mr.. Speaker, does the gen.
tleman call to mind no other period of our
history when unanimity was desired 3
Has he forgotten that short time ago this
country was engaged in a foreign war, and
then good men thought it patriotic that
every American citizen should stand shout
der TO shoulder? Has he forgotten that
on that memorable occasion, when it be-
came necessary that North Carolina should
furnish her regiment for the war, and res
olutions were introduced in this Hall to
raise money for the equipment of the regi-
ment, that what is universally known as
the Mexican Preamble was added to those
resoIutions-the ayes and noes were de-
manded-and the Democratic party placed
in the unpleasant position. which required
them to censure the administration, or re-
fuse to vote the necessary appropriation ?
(Here Mr.. Stevenson was called to order
by Mr.. Stanly.) The Char ruled thai
Mr.. Stevenson was in order; and he thus
proceeded am not surprised, Mr.. Spea-
ker, that my remarks upon the proceed
ings of our last session, should have brought
the gentleman from Beaufort to his feet
It would be well for that gentleman's par.
ty just at this time, that this matter was
forgotten. But. Sir, mere allusion to
their course then, refreshing of theiI
memory, was all that desired. Now,
Sir, how have the gentlemen Of the other
party used their patriotism in the cali o.
the ayes and noes this session-aye, even
upon this very question? The resolu'
tons were first introduced by my friend
from Richmond good Wing. Sir; an
amendment was added by the gentleman
from Orange, which placed the democrats
in the awkward attitude of defeating the
resolutions or censuring Mr.. Polk. And
I repeat, Sir. they called the ayes and noes
upon US, and exuhed in the call. And al
though unanimiiy was as important then
as it is now, their patriotism chuckled over
our embarrassment.

THE CENSUS OF 1850.

Congress will, doubtless, at the present
session, provide for taking the census. A
writer in the American Statesman presents
statistics founded upon the proportionate in
crease of the population by which he estimates
the population of 1850 as over twenty two
millions of persons. He supposes that the
present basis of representation will be increa-
sed TO one hundred thousand for each repre-
sentative, allowing an additional representa-
tive for each fraction of fifty thousand Were
the present basis TO be preserved, the number
of representatives would consist of about $50
by the proposed increase to one hundred
thousand the number would be about GIL or
nineteen less than the present number of rep
resentatives. If this basis be adopted, New
York would lose four members, Pennsylvania
one, Ohio one, Michigan and Illinois would
each gain two, and the other Northwestern
States one each. The following is the pro-
portion each division of States would have

Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1849-02-09

Mr.. Speaker, how does the matter now
stand? The resolutions originally intro
duced by a Wing, have been referred to q
committee offour, two Of either party, to
be altered. pruned down, and smoothed
over. so that the opinions of all might be
met. The result of the labors of the COM
mittee are before us. The question stands
upon the adoption of the resolutions in
troduced by the committee. The ayes
and noes have been called. And this call
has brought upon US implication of want
of generosity and patriotism. The reso-
lutions embarrass some Of our friends of
the other party. They wish us TO come
to their relief, and take away the disagree
able necessity of recording their votes up
on the journal. II we do this, Mr.. Spea-
ker, they must look upon it as a debt of
magnanimity on our part-not that they
deserve such generosity. 1t will be re-
turn of good for evil. And the gentleman
from Pitt will at once perceive with what
bad grace the appeal he has made to our
patriotism, &c. in matter of this kind.
comes from one Of his party.
But sir, how will the great benefits of
unanimity, on this most important ques-
lion, be secured by suppressing the call
for the ayes and noes! Are we in secret
session? Are our doors and windows so
closed. that the news will not go forth
from this Hall-tbat the call of the ayes
and noes was not made, for fear Southern
gentlemen will be found differing upon
this subject! The only means Of secur-
ing this unanimous expression, so greatly
desired by all of US, is for gentlemen free
ly, boldly, fearlessly to record their votes
in the favor of the resolutions. And if,
unfortunately, there should be three or four
gentlemen upon the other side who can
not vote in the affirmative, let the position
they occupy be known. And. sir, l have
too high an opinion of the gentlemen, who
are disturbed by this question. TO suppose
they would desire to avoid the RESPONSE
bil;ty of an open and public action.
