Its oVloek, A. M. May 2!, ISI7, Eds. Delta. — Phe “diligence" is about leaving—l write togive you the latest up to departure, The Mexicans have a re port here, w hich is creel ted hy the Ameri cans generally, that Ilerrrra is elected President of Mexico, am! that he is dis posed to treat for peace. The“dilligence” i rotn Puebla is looked for momentarily, ■which will give us the correct position of affairs at the Capital. If it should arrive i in time to overtake the line towards Vera Cruz, I will send an express to overhaul jt. The reason assigned by the Mexicans f>r Herrera being willing to make peace with us is, lhut he desires to prevent our taking possession of the Capital of the Re public, which bo says will be the inevita ble result if the Mexicans do not come to terms. Siiali we be delayed by soothing promises friendly professions, or shall we march on, conquering and to conquer? J hope the word will be ‘Onward!*’ and not wast until they have placed the capi tal in a proper state of defence. ‘‘Delays are dangerous,” and may cause us to loss many gallant officers and soldiers. Herrera, no doubt, is favorably disposed; hut can lie control the factions? Once in possession of the City of Mexico, we can treat on what terms we please. The Army is under marching orders for to morrow evening at 3 o’clock.— Gen. Twiggs’ column will move at that hour, if no unforeseen circumstances in -1 # tervenc. .Nothing further from Gins. Worth and Quitman, except that they were resting, from the fatigues of the march in Puebla. Gen. Shields had an attack of pleurisy two nights ago, but is recovering from the effects of it, and also his wound. He ex pects to be able to leave for the United States about the 10th of next month. Capt. Walker is encamped with his re cruits close to the town. It was general ly supposed he would be arrested for the course he pursued in reference to a guer rilla party he came in contact with. But I understand his course is approved of.— The Alcalde of Santa Fe, who had been harboring the bandilti, and in whose pos session the property and clothing of the j murdered Dragoons were found, had to share the same fate as those who commit ted the murder. Served him right. IM LJSTANG. Jalafa, May 21, — 12 o'clock. Eds. Della: — I'he dilligenco has ar rived from Puebla, but, nothing official had arrived from the capital .previous to its departure. The passengers slate that it was current at that place that Herrera had been elected President. I received a letter from Puebla, of which the following is an extract: “We entered this place on the 13th inst. The natives, although quiet yet, have stabbed several of the men, and have killed two. We were attacked in Anasoca by Santa Anna, with about 1300 cavalry—he lost 3 killed and 7 wounded. The old codger look a fit of leaving for Mexico, where he is for tifying the Penol and Ayotla.” I have seen another letter, from an intelligent source, to a gentleman in tiiis place, which says that Santa Anna re- treated from Puebla to San Martin, end subsequently left for the city of Mexico; also that we are to be met on the road, somew here by 10.OODmen,under oneGene rai- w hose name !do not recollect, and j 4000 under Minon.

We glean from tho Matamoros Flag, of the 19 h ins!., toe j following item-: : Carabajal still keeps him elf in the 1 vicinity of Matamoros. His camp is about sixty miles from there, on the* Siq Fernando road. The force under Ins co ninamt is small—not exceeding sis ! tv men—hut sufficient to plunder all trading parties coming in or going out from Matamoros. Capt. Moves, the indivi lual stabbed by one of the Massachusetts volunteers, mention of which has al ready been ma le ; in our column-, died from the effects of ’ bis wounds on the 17th inst. Cap*. M. was a partner and not the Clerk of Mr, Sinclair, as previously stated. 'Fite as sassin lias been placed in close confine- i ment. Caught a Tartah. —Between Comar go and M:er. a short time ago, three Mexicans were waylaying the road to rob a Mexican merchant of Matamoros, who thev know was coming clown from IMier with a large amount of money in his possession. Themarchant had three men w ilh him, and it chanced before he reached die spot w here the robbers had posted themsc Ives that three Texan Ran- , gers. who bad been out on a scout struck 1 into the road a short distance ahead of him, pursuing their way down to Comar go. It was after dark, and the robbers mistook trie Rangers f»r the merchant’s j party. They ordered them to halt and deliver, and the Rangers did halt and de- j liver; but thev delivered bullets instead I of money, and left, not a robber able to carry off his load—-ail were killed, and the merchant passed down in safety. The mules which left Matamoros about i 12th inst. for Comargo, under an escort of Massachusetts Volunteers, commanded by Capt. Walsh, readied there in safety. The report about their being attacked, ! •find the mules stampeding, turned out to he incorrect.

The Ist Mississippi Regiment, under Col-Davis, was to leave Cerralvoon the 20di inst., for the Mouth of the Rio Grande. Col. Davis was fast recovering from his wounds. 'Flie health of Gen. Taylor’s army was generally good. The smatl-pcx, which at one time created considerable | alatm among the troops and the Mexican inhabitants in Saltillo, had nearly disap pea red. The remains of Lieut. R. L. Moore, of the Ist Mississippi Regiment, who was killed at the battle of Buena Vista, was brought over from the Brazos on board the brig Henry, under the charged Col. j C.

We select t!ic Augusta Chronicle as a suitable exponent of whig views on this subject in Georgia, As the democratic administration is arraigned before the people, and fiercely ns,-hulled by • that pap&r on the Mexican war queGion, let u? examine what the whigs contend for. The ( Chronicle distinctly asserts: Ist. That the war should be waged vigor ously until an honorable peace can be made. o' n d. r J hat an honorable peace can be made. 3rd, That the administration lies boon dr | relict in duly, in not having ottered such terms to Mexico, as w ould have been accept ed, and which would also have been honora ble to this country. We will pass by for the present, the posi tion which the Chronicle lias taken, that Ihe war shoo'd he waged vigorously until .Mexi | coconsents to terms of peace. We will see, | | upon investigation, the absurdity into which that position betrays tin* whigs when coupled , with their positions assumed on the question j of indemnity. j The Chronicle has the distinguished good ' fortune to have discovered that which has : puzzled the most acute and investigative . minds both in the United Slates and Mexico. It will have been noticed that throughout the j war, public inquiry has bc#n turned to the . question, as to the practicability of an early , peace. We hazard the assertion that all Lite observant minds in both countries have uni | ted in testifying, even up to the very latest ! dates, that the prospects of peace are now very remote. Not only so, but vve do not re member to have seen any intelligent writer from Ihe scene of hostilities, or from the city ; of Mexico, or in any pf the papers in Mexico : bein'* the best possible sources of informa n 1 j tion, testifying as tn the fact that peace could me made on any terms. None have suggested am- terms upon which peace could be made between the two countries. We j have seen a uniform statement by Mexican writers, as well as from the official authori ties of that country, that Mexico would not lister, (o terms of peace, tyilil our fleets were : withdrawn from their coasts, and armies from their soil. This was an essential pre liminary to peace, and this seemed to inter pose an insuperable obstacle. It was a pre liminary out of the question. Net in the face of this fact, we find one paper, distin- I gulahed in its position as the organ of whig opinion in Georgia, asserting that peace can | be made. So extraordinary an assertion,dif fering so much from the positive declarations of Mexico herself, without whose consent there can be no peace, induced us to inquire on what ground this oracular declaration was made. The Chronicle responds with thej following grave, novel and profound reasons; I “Our reasons for believing that Mexico j would make an honorable peace are simply these. She lacks all the elements necessary to carry on the war. She is incurring an additional heavy burthen of debt, and has —-- .TgiE-.-g-T-!- 1— r.wi w«». u»’ I-J m mi-W 1 IB at —-=»~ -«*-» 1 '*■ ■' l '■ i ■■. . , ( AV GUSTA WHOLESALE ifillCES CLHIKEA 1, JUNE 2, 18-17.

Has she not put forth proclamations for organizing gner rill a bands, with a view to u more deadly and i uncompromising prosecution of tne vhi? Has not “death to the Yankees been p-o --claimed in tones of the most malignant hate? Has not the proffer of British mediation been , also rejected in the most peremptory man ner? But the Chronicle informs ns. “If this government will he magnanimous to Mexico —treat her as a nation, respect her feelings, and show that site is not trampled upon because she is weak, peace can be made in a few weeks. On what authority this assertion is made i ! we are not informed. We certainly have | not. met with any such assertion by any of j the intelligent writers at Mexico acquainted : with Mexican politics and opinion. But ex actly the reverse is stated. Mexico Ins not given, and does not show the slightest dispo sition to give our country any opportunity of extending magnanimity to her. She will ! listen to no terms of peace. But as the Chronicle professes to have so deep an in sight into the intentions and wishes of the Mexican*, we li“p e >' wW set Forth. in full, the magnanimous proposition which Mexico will accept. When the President applied for the appropriation of three millions, the Chronicle opposed it, and ridiculed it, -as having in view terms of pacification too m -gnAnimous to the Mexicans! The Chronicle is hard to please, i When it can state a proposition honorable to ns that Mexico will accept, and show that ; fad to the world, at. least by plausible reason | ing, then it may charge this government with being derelict in duty in not making such an offer to Mexico. But not fill then. But these terms would be. according to ; the Chronicle, that each nation should pay it* own expenses. The Chronicle says,‘‘We | are willing to treat for peace, leaving each | nation to bear its own expenses. We be lieve this to be just and right.” Now does the Chronicle not know that such a proposi, tion is out of the question? That this coun | try will never for a moment think of such j {orm c that it would be considered bv our i people a pusillanimous back out, after our ! Congress had declared that the war was cotn i rnenced by the ad of Mexico, and voted mmi i and money for its prosecution till Mexico I should make atonement for the wrongs com mitted by her. The Chronicle may think this WOUld be AX HONORABLE TEACE. But it cannot carry the country along with it. It must be content to enjoy with its-' whig compeers alone these notions of an honora hie peace. The Chronicle takes the position that this country should not demand indemnity in land or money from Mexico, Because, forsooth, according to Mattel, we are in the wrong.

Flour is 37s to 30 cents higher than before the news. About 5000 barrels sold at .»
