LATE FROM MExlco-New Orleans papers
of the 25th have later intelligence from Mexico.
We extract from the Picuyune:
"On the Goth of July the Governor of Chihua
ha, Angel Trias, sent communication to the
Minist r of Rel advising him of the afro
cities committed at the town OF Ell Paso by
three hundred Texan nd enturers who had ar
rived at that place on their way to California
He asked that sufficient force should be sent
to Chihuahua to protect the frontier Com
plants are made of Arista that he is too b,lsy
electoneerng for the Presidency to attend to
Chihuahua, and that he has sent the troops
needed there to n place where they are not
wanted.
The Liberals have been successful in almost
all the elections. Eveni in Mexico the Conscrva-
tives experienced complete defeat They
scarcely make fight any longer The Liberals
are split up in great many factions. The vote
Of the State of chihuahua, it is said, will be
given to PedraZa.
The AyuntamicntO of Tampco has sent
communication to the supreme Government,
setting forth the sad condition Of affairs in that
| port, consequent on the extensive system of
smuggling Operations carried on there. Be-
sides, the neighboring country has been DESC
lated by drought and the people are in daily
fear Of the cholera Articles of prime necessity
are not to be found in the market.
| The cholera is raging violently in Jaapa.
| The Lempoateca publishes N, interesting
correspondence between Mesrrs. Sartorious and
Soto about the establishing Of German colonies
| in the State of Vera Cruz. In consequence Of
the troubles in Europe the first plans of Mr..
Sartorious were frustrated but he has now made
arrangements to bring over some hundred of
Industrious families.
South CAROLINA AND THE SoUrH-Tne let
ter Of Gov Seabrook which we published some
days since, had attached to it note not marked
as postscript and which we did not feel at IL
berty to make public without further authority,
which we now have. The note stated that not
wi.hstanding the reasons given in the letter for
reserve and caution on the part Of this State, in
a certain contingency, which his Exceency
hoped would occur he would speedily summon
the Legislature together.
Gov. Seabrook's letter was written before
the proclamation of Gov. Towns had reached
him. We now add the important movement OF
the Governor of Mississippi, whose terse al
stirring proclamation we publish to day. No i'm
putation OF precipitancy, or ambition Of leader
ship, can rest upon South Carolina now, and we
can hardly doubt that under this striking ch lnee
Of circumstances, his Exceiency will decide that
the reasons for reserve on the part Of this State
nave altogether disappeared, and that the time
for the decisive move has come. To hold back
now, would look, not like refusal Of leadership,
bit like betrayal and desertion Of our sister
States,-and to such proceeding we need not
say we hold Gov Seabrook utterly Incapable
for one moment offending his countenssiee. To
act, when the action of South Carolina could
add strength, instead perhaps of weakness. doubt
and division, to the sacred cnuse she is le ged
to serve,--this, we know well, has been the aim
of Gov. Seabrook, and he will rot fail t, see
that inaction now woud be construed rs pusil-
anipity rather than discretion. We, lnnot
doubt what his course will be-
