MExIco-A correspondent of the Alta wri-
ting from the city of Mexico under date OF
October 6th says;
Since the assault which the Liberals made
in August, against Tacuhaya, the vicinity OF
this city has not been disturbed by any hos
tile forces.
Mirnmon has concentrated here about H.
600 men, which, together with 1000 men at
Puebla, and from 4 900 to 5000 at Gundala-
jara, form the whole army of the Church
party. Gen. Castillo, who was on his way
hither, with 1000 men withdrawn from
Guadalaiara, was defeated near Punta Grande
and Obliged to return to said city, where he
is beseiged by $500 men. under Ortega and
Dohlado. Huerta. with 1900 men, and
Ogazan. with 1000, are also on their way
thither. Beriozabal occupies Queretaro, with
5000 men, and another body of Liberal
troops are marching up from Vera Cruz.
The Constitutional army would thus be
able to take the field and, by great blow,
finish the revolution but this does not lay in
their plans. There are not less than forty
two candidates to the Presidency in the field,
and none of the chieftains trusts another ;
each of them wants to make war on his own
account, and hopes to become Napoleon,
Santa Anna, or, at least a Miramon, i'll mill
tary achievements.

The Savannah Republican alludes to the
discovery of q new variety of cotton, and
snys that Mr.. Peabody, who resides neal
Columbia, Georgia, has introduced it into his
plantation. The color and staple are said to
be superior to any other variety, and Il
thread manufacturer last year offered twen-
ty-five cents per pound for all that Mr.. Pea
body could raise. His crop this year
amounts to thirty i've bales. If this account
is borne out by success in the culture of this
variety hereafter, the famous Sea Islands
cotton may have dangerous rival, for the
new variety is said to grow on any common
pine land, and to require no more than the
ordinary cultivation.
