Later from Mexico,

By the mails Of the steamship Texas, at Quaran-
tine, we have files from Vera Cruz to the 9Th inst
and fromwhch we extract the following intelligence
The conducta, which arrived at Vera Cruz the 1st

from the mint OF this the English packet Solent,
which sailed the 4th. took ont sl067 ,624 "a of
which 81 062 504 was in silver and 100 in gold coin.
In addition to this, the Solenthad freight 81 900 pa
tina, 1925 precious stones and 81 O47 in the vege-
table products of the country--a rich cargo whose
total value was estimated at 81 lS5 1886 "a.
The bark Wdfre likewise cleared on the 2Sth
ult., with large cargo, valued at sss 35s 81, of
which $32 009 "a was in specie. Adding their tri-
butes to this and other ports and the sum total of
the product of the Mexican mines during the month
of August cannot be less than that of any other
month of the year.
Messrs Benjamin and La Sere had arrived at the
capital, and had been favored with an interview with
President Comonfort
In the Vera Cruz correspondence Of the Picayune

BATON ROUGE CoSyENTIoS.---It will be seen by
reference to the proceedings of the convention held
at Baton Rouge on Monday last, published in another
column, that the opposing element in the Democratic
party to the odious tyranny which now controls this
State and District, have nominated L. J. Sigur for
Congress- and made definite issue with federal patron
age and convention ricksters in other words have
made q declaration of personal and political inde
pendenCe which we frankly confess. in view of the
exalted official and political position of the parties
committed to this movement and the risks they
thereby encounter really astound US. Wieklitfe, Her
ron, Gen, Rowley, Van Wckle, etc, rebel against
King Sidell, federal patronage and Custom House in
tiuence; denounce Walker and by implication Mr.
Buchanan. These gentlemen are and have been, the
special avorltes of the Democratic party in this
State, and to continue so had but to recognize the
legitimate right Of John Sldell to control aud direct
all things in the Democratic party according TO his
own imperial will, Reviewing the past and consider
ing the present attitude of men and parties, candor
copels to say that this is about the pretiest the
most refreshing specimen of personal and political
courage in recognized party leaders that we have
seen for long, long time. Nothing but patriotism
instructive and alive, could have controlled them in
thus eudeavoring to relieve the Democratic party in
Louisiana of the disgusting corruption which has
been so manifest prior to and during the pendency
the nominations III this State and District.

Southern Pacific Railroad. We learn that On Satnr.
day Mr. Grant had steam raised on the locomotive
Louisiana, and with its tender commenced running
over that portion of the track which had been fin
ished amid the cheers Of the people and the defiant
snort of the steam whistle The ironing of the road
will proceed with all possible dispatch, and the
Messrs. Grant are confident that the road will be
pleted from swanson's landing to Marshall by the lst
January next. The force now employed on the road
is more than sufficient to finish the work in the time
specified.
