The Times newspaper has sent a gentleman,

Very Late From aiexlco.
Through the samo channel by which we receiv
ed the intelligence given in another column from
the Gulf sq tadron, we also recieved papers from
Vera Cruz as late as the 22d of October. The
intelligence is interesting and important.
In the first place, wo may say in general terms
that in no paper which we have opened do we
find any token of submission on the part of the
Mexicans in their conflict with this country.—
Every paragraph breathes threats of vengeance.
Their losses are enumerated in detail, to found
thereupon more urgent appeals to the patriotism
citizens to give up every thing for the sup-
l»e read in the sketches of the Times* cotnmis- i port of the war. It is not too much
there is the warmest enthusiasm apparent in
that we read—whether in editorial remarks
the military addresses with which the papers are
crowded. The spirit of all is, “ War to the kaife.'*
But this shows the surface of affairs only. W*
shall have occasion to note incidents, which lead
us to suspect the country is by no means

character. Tho following are among the latest

The gallant old Commodore was the most
chagrined of all. He took the command of the
expedition in person, upon the steamer Vixen.—
His vessel succeeded in getting across the har
and reaching the desired position, where she stood
the brunt of the lire of the Mexican battery of
twelve gun*, till the McLane got aground, and If
would have been foolhardiness to persist in the
enterprise. Com. Conner stood all the while up
on the wheel-house of the Vixen, calm and un
ruffled, while the shot flew nround him. One
ball, striking short of the schooner, da*hed the
wafer over his person, filling his face and eye*.—
Unmoved, he wiped the water Irom his face, and.
solicitiou* only for others, inquired if any one was
hurt. His bearing is described to us as every
thing that we could have wished. Perfectly un
ruffled he would not expose to useless hazard his
command, after it became evident chat from ac
cident the enterprise must fail. His officers and
men. however, were rendered half frantic by the.
order to withdraw. There was nothing so rash
and desperate that they would not have perform-

of extravagant admiration. They said he seem

Dear Sir: —This is to certify that my daughter has been
troubled with Dyspepsia for a number of years, attended
with almost constant headache and other distressing symp

to avail herseif of the advice of the justly celebrated phy

ofa friend I was induced to purchase a bottle of Dr.
Wood’s Sarsaparilla and Wild Cherry Bitters. Before
taking one bottle she was relieved entirely ofthe headache,
and after taking two or three bottles the other symptoms
entirely disappeared. N. B. GIBBS.

will try to pass by some other name. Said
-SrJ boy is between 45 and 50 years of age; he
rf / is about 5 feet 8 inches high, walks rather
stooped, stiff, and wables; he has a scar
across the end of the nose, which 6eems to have been
cut with a knife, also a large scar over the left eye,
near the hair; and has high cheek bones. The un
designed will give the above reward for the apprehen
sion and confinement of 6aid boy in any jail within one
hundred miles of this place, so he can get him. He
ranaway on the 30tb of October last

change in diet necessary- If taken according to directions,
a cure for life is guaranteed.

Tho Mexican accounts of the battles of Monte

sity, they praise, very highly the valor of our troops
and they insist upon the obstinacy and gallant
ry of the defence. The movements of Gen.
Worth on the West side ol the town are describ
ed as very brilliant. One fort taken by Gen.
Worth is said to have been taken and re-taken
three several times—once by Gen. Mejia at the
