THE AMERICAN BR1GADE FOR MEXICO.
The New York Journal of Commerce, Of the
18th inst, says:
Since the publication of our last statement
on this subject. the plan Of organizing the
force has undergone some change. 1t is now
determined to raise only two regiments, each
to consist of 1000 men, one from this State
and the other from California. The latter
State is considered the best in the Union for
recruiting. -..- --e@
The commanding officer of this force, Brig.
General Wheat, was Il cavalry captain of the
Tennessee volunteers IN the Mexican war, and
took a conspicuous part in Walker attempt
upon Nicaragua. He left this city a day or
two ago in the steamship Marion, for Charles.
ton, whence we will proceed to Vera Cruz,
via NewOrleans, in company with a dispatch
from the Juarez Government asking for his
presence at that point us soon as possible. The
present arrangement is for Gen. Wheat to re
main in Mexico. and look after affairs there
until the arrival Of the two regiments from the
United States, when he will assume the COM
nlalid. -4N# E@s
The Colonel Of the NewYork Regiment is
the late Conmissary General Of this State, J..
Ill. Hobart Ward. a captain Of the regular
army in The Mexican war, and now the Com
mander Of the Scott Life Guard, composed
exclusively of men who fought in Mexico.
He is busy with preparations for the enter
prise, and finds no difficulty in raising the 1000
men who will constitute his regiment. The
following staff appointments have already been
made by him: Abel Smith, Jr., Adjntant,
and Nm. Peel, Quarterlnasler and Commits
sary. The regiment will consist of ten COM
panies.
It is hoped to have the force ready for mo-
ton in about two months. The regiments will
leave NewY York and San Francisco simnl,a-
neons!y y, and will meet at Labor Island or
BRACES Santiago, to organize and drill, prep
aratory to entering Mexico as a compact and
serviceable army, to sustain the Jnarez Gov

1t will be perceived we are getting along toerably
well this season. 1t is, however, too early to form
any estimates of what the growth of 1859 will be-.
A late fall-that is, dry weather, with exemption
from frost-will help out many fields which are sup
posed to have been blasted. We have, however, to
remark as our own talk that every bale of good or
clean cotton will be wanted and good prices paid
but dusty, sandy, and inferior cottons will be low,
very low.
From the general talk, it appears there are very
few orders in Market and of course but few buyers
for the New England factories. Many of these
factories complain of the great quantity of dirt
in cotton classed as middng. We have talked so
much of packing dust and leaves, that our saliva
resembles cotton and we therefore hope planters in
general will take into consideration that dust and
sand cannot be sold this season for cotton.
The further talk was, what are we to understand
by the daily mail failures Five days in succession
has the Great Northern mail failed from beyond
Canton, Miss Grand Junction or Chattanooga. We
call for some explanation. Are the citizens of New
Orleans to be forever humbugged and deluded by
mail contractors2 There is some talk that the ex
pected contractors for the Florida route are throwing
obstacles on the present route through Tennessee

MAJOR SWAMI AND THE BALTIMORE f" REFORM
ERs."-It appears that the committee appointed at

struct Mayor Swami to bis duties in the approach
ing election in that city, were not altogether satisfied
with his reply, and could not understand from it
whether their offer to assist him in arranging mat
ters, appointing judges Of election and swearing in
special policemen, was accepted or rejected. They
also express their deep regret that many judges of
election have been renominated, who at the last
election, received and recorded large numbers of
illegal votes, and who therefore have lost the conf
dence of the community whose rights they failed to
protect.
In reply to.ther inquiries the Mayor refers them
to paragraph in his former letter, which he thinks
sufficiently explicit, and then says:
1t is source of some surprise to me that in the
communication which you have addressed to me you
should have deemed 1t your duty to condemn the
nomination Of judges of elections made by me to the
City Council at the last moment before its adjourn.
