SIR: During the time OF our troubles with Great
Britain abop. the Oregon Boundary question, it was
asserted that we had vessels OF war that could con-
tend successfully with those OF our enemy. AT that
time invented and recommended TO Congress q can
non Of immense calber intended TO be placed upon
carriage SO as TO fire in any direction. The object was
to outreach the enemy AMI destroy her before we came
within resch of the common pop-guns used on our
men -ofwar.
II you viii look owe! the repor. Of the Secretary of
the Navy you will see tina! precisely the same idea
has been carried out on several OF our war vessels The
United States steamship Powhatan has on board q
gun called the bow-chaser, which is just the very
thing which recommended. At the time that in
vented IT, objection was made that the gun would be
too heavy to be managed at sea in gale and that 80
heavy charge would rack any vessel TO pieces.
Both these objections nov si.enced foreyer-the
gun is fixed fact The Hon. Secretary says: " The
result OF the operations on the Plymouth seems to
dspelsn remaining doubt whether the heavy cannon
which she carried would be manageable, and not

We have news from the City of Mexico to the

The garrisons at Tacubsys and Vera Cruz had pro-
nounced against the Government, especially the
dissolution of the Congress, the overthrow of the
Constitution, and the clothing of ComOnfort with
d;ctstorial power. 1t was expected that the other
States would follow, and the revolution thus be-

the Mormons would probably have regarded the
expedition ss abandoned at al events. the inter
val might have been employed in disseminating
among them moro correct idea Of the real object
of the enterprise. and when the army moved for
ward in the Spring, it might have been in such
force o. to deter the Mormon leaders from the idea
of an armed resistance. = -
Instead Of either Of these reasonable courses,
finding itself exposed to the suspicion of never
having really intended any movement against the
MormOns, the Government undertook to relieve
itself from that charge by precpitatng the troops,
Just at the beginning Of the Winter, into posi-
ton where they can do no good, where they are
exposed to suffer greatly, and in which, worn down
and diminished in strength and numbers as they
necessarily must be by Winter spent in canton.
ments under such circumstances, should the Nor.
mons attack them in the Spring they may have
great difficulty TO maintain themselves till supplies
and re.enforcements can come up.
In addition to all the other criticisms to which
this unlucky Winter encampnent st Fort Bridger
lies open, in the present state Of the Federal
Treasury the expense Of it is not TO be overlooked
The exceedingly heavy cost Of transporting to such
distance and through such country q six or
eight months supply for two thousand men viii
be entirely thrown away. On the frontier, the
troops might have been fed during the Winter for
a fifth part Of the sum which their maintenance
at Fort Bridger will cost. Flour transported over
the Plains, by the time il reaches Fort Bndger,
mounts up to half dollar the pound, and other
things in proportion. The beef Of the halfstar1 ed
oxen, on which the troops will be chiefly fed,
will doubtless cost the Government three or four
times the money for which in the mar.
ket OF st. Louis, they might have purchased
beef Of the best quality. Even the Limited
quantity of supplies which the country
about Fort Bridger might, under ordinary circum.
stances have furnished, will now be cut of BY
the Mofmons. In fact, the whole cost incurred IN
fitting out this expedition may be considered as alb.
solutely thrown away. Indeed, much worse than
thrown away; since the only result Of it will have
been to put the troops into Winter position, the
least advantageous that could possibly have been
chosen for them, and which, if it has no worse re-
suit, will certainly inspire them with bitterness Of
feeling toward the Mormons not favorable to q
peaceful solution of existing difficulties; while the
MormOns themselves viii be wrought up by this
hostile encsmpment, az they regard il, on their
border TO the highest pitch Of fanaticism and may
be stimulated BY the helpless condition ofthe troops
in the Spring, as they have been BY the difficulties
Of Winter advance into thsir country, to meas.
ures of annoyance and hostility upon which other.
wise they might never have yentured.

Gen. William Walker arrived in this city last
evening, as prisoner, in charge of United States
officers lie was arrested with his men on the 7th
inst at Pun,s Arenas, by Com. Paulding, who took
possession of him and Of his men as pirates and
outlaws. The men have been sent to Norfolk, and
Walker is 70 be handed over to the Federal Courts
TO be dealt with according to law. His previous ex
perience under similar circumstances justifies the
belief that he will escape without any punishment
whatever. Some fifty of his men still remain in
Central America, under Col. Anderson. This force
was landed from the Fashion at the mouth of the
Colorado, and proceeding up the river, made them
selves masters of the fort at Castillo Rapids and the
river boats there they still remain waiting for re-
endorsements, which are not likely soon to reach
them.
With this event Walkers career as a flibuster
leader is probably ended; though we must say that
such an end by no means does justice to the cruel,
sangunsry and ruffianly character which be has
exhibited throughout. His opportunities have
been limited but it would be difficult to find in
history more hesrtless and inhuman villain. His
abilities, however, do not keep pace with his am
bition and the iunts Of Southern prOpagandists
who sent him out on the present expedition long
ago determined TO deprive him of all real power,
and to give the actual control of their enterprise to
Gen. Hcnningsen. That parsonage is understood
TO have been at Washington for some time past en-.
deayoring to obtain the consent Of the Admins
trstion to his departure from Mobile with u force
of 1000 men. In this endeavor he is sustained by
very powerful influences. The Slavery propaganda,
having lost Kansas naturally stretches out its greedy
hands to grasp the rich tropical regions of Central
America. The breaking up of Walkers camp ut
Punta Arenas is check upon their design; but
We may be sure that it is not design which Trey
will soon or easily be induced to abandon.

The steamship Tennessee has arrived here with
dates from the City of Mexico to the 18th inst.
Another revolution broke out on the 10th inst. The
garrison at Tacubaya had pronounced against the dis
solving Of the Congress- the overthrowng of the Con-
stitution, and the declaring of Comonfort Dictator.
Vera Cruz followed the example, and it was expected
the rest Of the States would alsO do so.
Later accounts from Yucatsn state that the reac-
tonists had captured Ssal, which again was retaken
by the Government troops.

WASHINGTON Dec. q, 1857.
The Administration received yesterday a large
batch of official dispstches and letters from private
agents in Kansas. which were submitted to an
extra Cabinet meeting, and occupied five hours
sitting. There is no intelligence verifying the pre-

imation to that statement .....

Among the papers forwarded is copy Of the bill
said Il have been introduced before the Legislature,
declaring it felony to vote at the election OF
the twenty-frst INST, but accompanied by no evil
dence of it's passage.
Special agent Martin writes on the twelfth that
he vote on the twenty first will exceed Ransom's,
and may reach six thousand. This however, is
doubted by the Administration. He says also that
the Presidents Message was entirely satisfactory
to the National Democrats, and the Kansas part
was freely circulated in the Territory with the hope
Of affecting the result of the election.
The President is much perplexed by the condi-
ton of things and if the election on the fourth Of

as is expected, then his friends in Congress viii
