LATER FROM MEXIc0

tFroml the ". o. Piedyuae, Sept &C.
By the brig Nancy, Capt. Godfrey, arrived this
that point to the Sd inst, three days later. Very
late intelligence had been received from the mill
tarv operations in the interior, which were every
where progressing satisfactorily.
The Commander-in-Ch Chief Degolado, was still
himself, at last accounts at San Luis Potosi. The
detachment of Doblado, however, had been sent
forward to Guanajuato, where the General had
succeeded in firmly establishing himself. Zaca-
tecas was in like manner held by some 1000 men.
Gen. Traconis had also advanced to Dolores with
some 1,50O men, where he was likewise to await
the movements of the main body. There were still
remaining at San Luis about $500 men more.
The letters state that Degollado found his army
at San Luis in dreadful state of disorganiZation,
but that he had, to great extent, succeeded in re-
storing harmony, especially among the rival chief
tains. We notice, however, that Zuazua, COM
handing the northern division, bad returned home,
for what reason is not stated Should it turn out
that it is from an unwillingness to serve under
Degollado, whom he is said to despise, the Liberal
cause will have lost its ablest officer.
The Aurora Borealis was observed at Vera Cruz,
in other places to the South but it was only for
short time visible, account of the clouded state
of the atmosphere. a
The official paper of the Constitutional Govern
ment publishes in full the correspondence between
Mr.. McLane and the Minister for Foreign Affairs,
on occasion of the departure of the former, but
being purely complimentary, they add nothing to
our knowledge of our relations with Mexico.
The Acting Commissioner of Indian Affairs has
received letter from Indian Agent Leiper, who
was reported dead by recent telegraphic despatch
from ST. Louis. Mr.. Leiper reports that on the 9th
instant, whilst returning from the settlements on
the False Washita in company with Indian Superin-
tendent Robert S. Neighbors, they were attacked
and wounded by band of hostile Indians. They
escaped and some days afterwards arrived at Belk-
nap, Texas, and were detained there. Whilst at
Belknap, Major Neighbors was shot, and so wound.
ed that he survived but twenty minutes. 1t was
reported that the difficulty in which he lost his
life, grew out of his severe animadversion upon
the murder of Reserve Indian, which occurred re-
Gently.
FROM JAMAICA.-Advices have been received at
New York from Jamaica, dated at Kingston on the
10th inst. Trade was exceedingly depressed, with
little prospect of revival soon. The sugar crop
of the year would not exceed twenty-three thou
sand hogsheads, which, with the proportionate de-
crease in rum would show decline in the exports
amounting to 81 900, 900 in the year. The Governor
had left Kingston on visit to the excited district.
The weather good. and the public health report
is favorable. The local press indignant at the
efforts of the Anti-Slavery Society of England to
prevent immigration from the East, and the papers
assert that Jamaica has fallen in her material pros
perity since emancipation. So that, instead OF ex-
porting 10000 hogsheads of sugar, as in 1888, she
will send out only $4,000 hhds in 1859.
