FROM mEXICO-THR EVACUATION
OF VERA CRUZ.

The Spanish squadron took possession of San
Juan d Ulloa on the 10th of December. Vera
Cruz was evacuated by the Mexican troops the
next day. They retired without firing a gun.
Letters received from Havana say that Santa
Anna and Miramon are both to go to Mexico.
Gen. Prim was at Havana, and was about to
leave for Mexico with reinforcements.
The Havana DiarO states that the Governor
Of Vera Cruz was willing to evacuate the city,
but demanded and received a respite Of twenty
four hours. The Spanish general on landing,
issued a proclamation to the troops, and another
to the people. the latter to the effect that the
troops had come thither only to demand s~atisfac-
ton for the failure of treaties and violence COM
mitted against their compstriots, and to obtain
guarantees against similar outrages. The great
est satisfaction of the army would be, after full
filing its mission from the Queen, to return to it:
own country with the certainty of having merit
ed the affections of tine Mexieans. Nearly on,
hundred riAed cannon of the latest pattern were
found in San Juan.

RICHMOND, January 4, 1862.
The Interest weather of the winter is upon
us. Last night we had a hail and sleet which
gave a vaneering of ice to trees, lamp-posts,
fences, house-tops and pavements and to-day the
air is all needles, with a heavy, leaden sky above
US that gives promise of snow. 1t is sad to think
Of the poor fellows on those bleak Fairfax hills
around Centerville, or away off in Kentucky,
exposed to the full severity of the season, in
whose ranks rheumatism and pneumonia are TO
make greater chasms than even the bullets of the
enemy. We, who sit by the blazing freside and
read Stewards dispatches, by gaslight, in com
tort, who smoke our cigars in well heated apart
ments, and retire to luxurious beds at our own
hours, have but little idea of the sufrerings of
the volunteers, nor begin to appreciate at what
sacrifice of health that living wall has been
built up which defends US against the foe.
If the frost should co~ntinue-more especially.
if one of those arctic snOw-storms, which at not
very long intervals of time come driving over
