Further from Mexico
BALrxoRE, Dec. 49, 1851
BY the arrival of the Southern mail late we
have received New Orleans papers Of Tuesday contain
ing the latest Mexican news.
The Mexican papers give accounts Of the elections in
vor Of General Santa Anna at Vera Cruz and the city
In the former city not single negative vote
had been received and in the city OF Mexico the rst
day of voting twelve thousand four hundred and atty
two votes thrown with but vote in the mega
tive which, according to private letters thrown by
carpenter named Mendoza Accounts from other places
had not been received The voting to continue for
the next two succeeding days.
The news in relation to the movements Of the revou
tioniss scanty Arumor reported in the papers
that the city Of Acapulco had pronounced against Ava
res, and nominated for Governor DON Thomas Moreno
The town Of Tejupico in the district Of sutepec was
attacked the 14th of November by body Of about
fifteen hundred insurgents under the command Of Gen.
Pnzon and the attack continued during the 14th 18th
and 10th Of that month"; but was unsuccessful. The
dispatches state that the insurgents
put to fight with great loss OF life and had taken DIP
position on the neighborng hnls.
We find no notice In the Mexican papers Of General
Alvarez Of any operations in the State Of Guerrero
On the morning Of che 9th ult. the government OF
Mexico received intelligence, by express from Achoacan
stating that the insurgents had attacked the city Of Mo-
artillery, and that after six hours fighting the enemy
driven from the city, leaving in the streets and
suburbs three hundred killed and large number
wounded Their piece Of artillery was captured and .
number Of prisoners taken The only loss spoken of
sustained by the government troops the death Of
General Echaguray.
The official dispatches received 1T the of govern
ment state that the different bands of insurgents under
the command Of Generals Huerta Pueblita Aras pinxon
and Others had united for the purpose attacking the
city, and that the number of dsaected people who Joined
them in the town had increased their numbers to more
than three thousand Ave hundred The official accounts
do not say that the insurgents lost their artillery
We also learn from the Mexican papers that the am.
nesy pubshed by the government had had most hap
py effect and that in the town Of Coyuca alone
Tnboaja had received the adhesion of more than one
thousand men under it, They also say that the nsur-
gent chiefs Ribas and Salinas had accepted it with their
bands and that several small towns had sent in resou
tons of acceptance.
correspondent Of the New Orleans Bee writes that
the accounts Of their tiumphs over the re-
voutonsts are unworthy Of credit that the reported
surrender Of Acapulco from the attempt OF two OF
Avsres's generals to betray him. He had them exc
cuted in consequence and their bodies to the gov
ernment troops who marching to take possession
Of the city.

KOssUrH's SPKECH.-A speech Of Louis Kos
suth, which has never been delivered, is pub
lished In several city papers. It relates to the
Eastern war, and shows how the allies have
blundered in every particular, and would have
done far better to make Louis Kossuth their
general instead Of Raglan or Saint Arnaud
Among other things, it says that the war should
have been commenced in Poland, whittier the
allies ought to have transported their troops
in balloons, it is to be presumed-and reused the
Poles; with various other matters Of equal
wisdom and foresight. Kossu.h came to this
country with three speeches, which he spoke
over and over again to gaping audiences,
realizing by the operation net profit Of one
hundred thousand dollars. How much does he
get for this last speech, which was not spoken !!

A VIRGINIA LEGREE.

Slavery, we are told, is mild in Virginia. The
Commonwealth contains a letter from Nelson Co.,
in that State, which explains what is meant by the
phrase. The outrage described, occurred on the
18th ultimo.
81 had not thought that so heart rcnding a scene
from Uncle Toms Cabin would come under my
own observation. Day before yesterday, a slave,
a young man in the prime of life, was whipped to
death by an overseer on II plantation in the neigh
borhood. lie ,cas pdrM l000.' The overseer tied
him in the barn and beat him for four hours. !
am told that he was whipped for a very triainS Of

fellow was washed with brine; then whipped and
washed again. This was repeated six times. lie
was tied up soon after breakfast and was released
about one o'clock and sent out in the field to

up, and he contriycd to get into the barn wherc

ANNIVERSARY NOTICE.

The Twelfth Anniversary Of the Western Anti
Slavery Society, will be held in Salem, Ohio, COM
at 10 O'Clock, on the morning Of the Goth
of August, and continuing probably three days.
The distinctive principles and measures of the
Western Society are more than ever commenting
themselves to the consideration of the thinking
part of community: "No union with Shareholders, .
is beginning to be regarded by very many as a ne
cessary measure for the preservation of northern
rights. And it is hoped tina, at a time like the
present; when the aggressions of slavery have be-
come more outrageous than ever before, every
friend of liberty shall be found at his post, pre-
pared to renew his pledges against oppression, and
to make new sacrifices, and greater for the cause
of freedom.
