The New Mexico Disputed Terri-
tory,

Effect ofthe News in Merico.-Through Mr..
Willard B.. Farwell, Of the San Francisco Daily
Wing, and bearer of dispatches from the U. S.
Legation at Mexico, we learn that an express
arrived in the city of Mexico, on the 9th inst,
bringing the news of the occupation of the
Mescala valley in Chihuahua by the Governor
of New Mexico.
The announcement caused very considerable
excitement, and a very general de determination
was expressed to drive the American forces from
the disputed territory at the point of the bay-
onet.
An armed force was ordered to proceed at
once to the scene of action, to reinforce the Go.
vernon OF chihuahua, and to assist in expellinp
Gov. Lane and his troops.
A delegation of the proper authorities wait
ed upon Judge Conkling, on the 9th inst, and
entered their protest in the name of The Co.
yernment against the proceeding. The reply
of Gov. Trias, of Chihuahua, to the proclamas
ton of Gov. Lane, was considered by the Mex
lean authoritiesSas embracing all the strong
points of the argument in favor of The claim Of
Mexico to the territory in dispute, and was
lookad upon as a model eff angnmentative diplo-
macy, that was mot to Beeserturned by any
act of the United States, powerful as she is in
the scale of nations" In short, a sincere be.
lief that in this question the Mexican Govern.
ment has the right on her side prevailed among
all classes, and they were determined to sup
port their position. Santa Anna was expected
to arrive in the capital about the 10th inst
He was met BY Mr.. Farwell on the road be-
tween Perote and Puebla, on the 18th, accom-
panied by a large escort of cavalry. Great pre-
partitions were being made to give him a pub.
lie and enthusiastic reception in the city; lllu-
limitations, fire works, military displays, &c,
were being arranged upon the most extensive
scale. Troops were stationed along the road
from Puebla TO the capital, to act as a body
guard. The General proceeds to Guadalajara

which is now in the hands of the Ordinary OF
Jackson parish, La. His relatives and friends

His brother George Hasson, Of Pickens county,

"The Fine Charger, John Slidell! ~

Never was horse more admirably and appro.

the "Fine Charger, JOHN SLlDELI," who, like

The gentleman whose talents and career
gave a name to this great horse of Mr.. R1cE's,

Not only has he proved himself an unexampled
charger over the heads Of Others upon imagi-

his own rhetoric and partizan philosophy, but
he has also shown that he is "some pumpkins

ambitions and political sins. This is evidence
ed by the fact, that through his tact and bis
maneuvering, he was nominated on last Sat

for U. s. Senator, and if anything can add to
the precious reputation of the majority of the
present Legislature, this last browning act of
subserviency and trucking to the d~ictation of
an individual and his powerful satellites, will
fill the measure of the odor it has sent abroad
