MONDAY MORNING, OCT? 12, 1846.
No mall north of Charleston last night.
The Late Election.
Our table to-day contains returns from sever
al additional counties —showing the success ol
four Whigs, viz: King, Jones, Stephens and
Toombs, —and three Democrats, Haralson >
Lumpkin and Cobb, and probably Iverson. We
five the returns as we have received them Irom
oar exchanges, and presume they are generally
▼cry near correct—although we arc disposed to
doubt that from Carroll, in the 4th District,
which gives a much larger Democratic majori
ty than was ever before given in that county.
Florida Election.—The lew returns re
ceived from the late election in Florida are very
favorable to the success of the Whigs.
Maryland Election.— The election lor
Delegates to the General Assembly and nine
members ol the Senate of Maryland, look place
on Monday last. In Baltimore the Whigs have
elected their Senator by a majority ot 5 over his
Democratic opponent. Out of 5 Delegates 3
Democrats and 2 Whigs have been elected.
Fire in Columbus.—Passengers who arrived
in this city from the West yesterday morning,
brought news of a disastrous fire in Columbus
(Ga.,) on Friday night, which destroyed con
siderable properly.
The Conduct ol the Mexican War.
We published yesterday, from the National
Intelligencer, a lew remarks upon an article of
the Washington Union, which was appended,
and also some remarks from the Si. Louis Re
publican, Jprefarary to the proclamation of
General Kearney to the people ofNew Mexico,
which followed the remarks.
We were somewhat surprised, on Saturday
last, to see an article in the Constitutionalist,
which makes our publication ol the above the
foundation for a charge, or rather an insinua
tion, that we are not as well pleased as we might
be at the success of the American Anns. Now
we challenge the Constitutionalist to point out
a single remark made by the National Intelli
gencer, or the St. Louis Republican, which con
veys the idea that either one was not pleased
with the success of our army,
Ifhe cannot show this,of course his insinua
tion against us will prove to have a flight of
Imagination to stand upon, and not a reality, lor
we did not pul lorih a word upon the subjects
treated of by those able Journals, or the remarks
in which they conveyed their views upon them.
The sum and substance of the remarks of the
Intelligencer,(asourreaders saw,) was, to show,
that the Administration had changed its policy
in one respect, as to the manner of supp ying
our troops with provisions, <fcc., in Mexico.—
They showed from the proclamation of General
Taylor, addressed to the people ol Mexico, that
the Administration had determined to pay them
for such things as the army might need, and
could procure of them.
That proclamation recognised the people of
Mexico “ass riends and republican brethren” and
declared to them, “the property of your church
es and citizens shall be protected and remain in
violate” It slated further, “we shall want from
you nothing but food for our army, and for this
you shad always be paid in cash the full value”
The Editors then append an article from the
Washington Union,to show that the Adminis
tration had concluded to pursue this policy no
longer, “We want provisions” (sajs that pa
per) and instead of paying “in cash the full val
ue” lor them, “we must compel them (the non
combatant people of Mexico) to share with us
the expenses of the war”—to “contribute for
the support ol the army.”
The editors of the Intelligencer show this
change of policy, and express their regret at a
necessity for it, after the formal and explicit
pledges given in behalf of this Government to
the people of Mexico, that they should be paid
for whatever the army needed. They at the
same time, expressly slate, that “the writers on
the Jaw of nations undoubtedly justify quarter
ing ot an army upon the enemy.”
Now, it does seem to us, that every right
thinking man would feel the regret expressed by
the Intelligencer. How does such conduct look
in the eyes ol other nations? Is it not to be re
gretted that such pledges were given? Is not
the whole proceeding ot a piece with the shift
ing, bungling policy of Mr. Polk’s administra
tion ot affairs? Besides, what may be gained
by forcing provisions from the Mexicans, may
be counterbalanced by theirexasperation. The
people of Mexico might be less disposed to rise
en-masse, as it were, when doing a profitable
trade with our troops, than when compelled to
subsist them, at an entire loss of such articles
as may be taken from them.
The object to be effected is this. “We must
(aiys the Washington Union,) bring its pres
sure (the war) home to the people of Mexico.
We most make them feel the evils ol the war
more strongly, in order that they may appeal to
their own government for peace.”
This may be good orbadpolicy; but whether
good or bad, it does not remove the disagreeable
fact that it runs counter lo previous pledges.
It may even be proper so respect them no long
er, but it would have been far preferable not lo
have made them at all.
Examine critically the last sentence of the
above extract from the Union. We must press
the Mexicans so sorely as to make them appeal
to their own government for peace ! Yes, we
mast do this, bat it a citizen of this country, a
tax-payer , who sees that he is to feel sorely the
cost of this war, expresses a doubt about the
propriety of it, about the necessity of its origin
had continuance, he becomes at once a traitor, a
mg"!! 1 - J. - —1
Hanford Conveniiou Federalist, an enemy of
I he couni ry !
Mexicans may express doubts io their own
government, but American citizens cannoi do
the same at home, without the danger of heir g
“damned.”
With regard lo the Proclamation of General
Kearney and proceedings id that field ot the
war, we have some views lo express which we
will deter to another day. ...
In conclusion, we refer the Constitutionalist
to an article headed “Gales and Seaton,” which
appeared in the Chronicle and Sentinel of the
9th instant, where he can find some Imeresling
facts which exhibit the editors of that “anti-
American print, the National Intelligencer,”
(as the Constitutionalist terms it) in the light
of true and dcvoied American patriots.
As to our humble selves we will merely say,
lhat we hope we are not deceived in believing,
that, right or wrong, upon American or foreign
soil, upon land or ocean, we desire the triumph
ot the arms of our Republic, over those ol its
enemies.
The Brio Naiad.—Judge McCaleb, of the
U, S. District Court, New Orleans has render

New and Valuable Discovert.—We no
ticed yesterday the discovery of a new prepara
tion by Dr. Morion which is intended to allevi
ate the sufferings of those who are forced to un
dergo painful operations in surgery and dentis
try. as well as to facilitate the work of opera
tors. The effect of this new discovery is to
throw the patient into a state of insensibility,
and while unconscious any operation may be
performed without occasioning pain. We are
told by a gentleman of the highest respectabili
ty that he witnessed an experiment of the use of
this most extraordinary discovery at the rooms
of Dr. Morton one evening this week. An ul
cerated tooth was extracted from the mouth of
an individual without giving him the slightest
pain. He was pat into a kind of sleep by in
haling a portion of this preparation, the effects
of which lasted for about three quarters of a
minute, just long enough to extract the tooth.
This discovery is destined to make a revolu
tion in the arts of surgery and surgical dentis
try,—Boston Transcript.
Important Mexican Aflairs—Naina Anna’s
Mysterious Doings I
The N. O. Delta of (he 2d inst., says: “The
Palria of yesterday published a letter from a new
correspondent at Havana, dated Sept. 22, in which
an extract of a letter from Mexico to a respectable
merchant at Havana, is given. The letter from
Mexico is dated Sept. 4, and is said to have been
forwarded by one of the U. S. men-of-war that left
Veia Cruz on the 6th or 7th. W© suppose it was
the Princeton , as she was the last vessel that left
Vera Cruz early in September.
Wc here give the translation of this extract,
which will undoubtedly be perused with interest
by the generality of our readers:
“Gen. Santa Anna has at last arrived here. I
informed you in my last letter, that since his arri
val at Kncero , he has been assiduously occupied in
directing manoeuvres extremely strange and mys
terious to those who are not well informed of the
meshes in which this affair is entangled. Gen.
Ampudia—the “ last card of the pack,” we may
nay, in speaking of Mexican generals —has been
charged with the chief command of the defending
army, or rather the parapet division—which is
the best name we can give to the troops gathered
for the purpose of marching against the invading
North Americans. Ampudia must be utterly ig
norant of the complot in which he is at present
mixed up, because he is not a very brave mao,
and it is believed that neither for money nor glory
would he expose himself to undergo such imminent
peril. In fact, I am disposed to believe that,
with the exception of three or four of the most
elevated men among them, Geos. Santa Anna and
Almonte, all the Mexicans are ignorant of this
plot: and even I would not know it myself, if an
extraordinary circumstance had not presented it
self to afford me the means of being initiated into
the secret machinations.
“ Gen. Santa Anna obtained from the Govern
ment of the United States a passport, or safe
conduct, in order that Com. Connor should not pre
vent him from landing at Vera Cruz. This passport
was given under conditions and arrangements,
of a character extraordinarily Machiavellian.
“As far as I have been able to learn, Gen.
Santa Anna has engaged with the Government of
the United States, to manifest publicly that he
prosecutes the war with energy ; but, at the same
time, all his movements, and every one of his ope
rations must be, by pre-arrangement with the
Government of the United States, conducted in a
previously understood manner. For this purpose,
the Mexican Government will employ its officers
and chiefs, of inferior military character, and, if it
should be possible, the troops of less value and
importance with them, in order that it may be
impossible for them to devise plaas or effect mea
sures that could be detrimental to the Army of
the United States. Quarrels and skirmishes will
take place between the parties, but they will be so
conducted on the part, of Mexico, that no result
favorable to the cause of Mexico will follow from
them.
“Through these operations, Mexico will lose
several thousand of her inferior soldiers— and thus
it will be partly treed o! the plague which is
gnawing at the vitals of the country,
“The paity in the secret of affairs, seeing these
results, and convince®, at last, that the United
States troops will triumph, they will come to the
belief that it is nut convenient to prosecute the
war with that Republic, and it will then be unani
mously decided by the Mexican people, that an
amicable arrangement should be entered into,
which will be done in a manner profitable to the
United Slates. Santa Anna’s responsibility will
be covered by this act ; treaties will be formed,
and a settlement of affairs will follow—the result
of which will be, that Santa Anna will be appoint
ed President and Dictator of the Mexican Re
public for a term of eight or ten years ; and Mexi
co will be under the immediate protection of the
United States, and bj' them will be made to keep
th.ngs in this state during Santa Anna’s life, so
after bis death, several Slates may be formed,
which will be annexed to those of the North
American Republic.
“The Californias will become sepaiated from the
very moment. Extraordinary privileges will be
granted both to the commerce and the inhabitants
of the Union—emigrants from the States will be
invited to and protected in Mexico; and after all
these important anangements and services ren
dered, prepared by the benefactor of his country ,
Gen. Don Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna will meet
with due recompense.
“During the term necessary for the proper set
tlement of all these operations, it is agreed that the
principal ports of the Mexican Republic will re
main under blockade by the U. S. squadron, to
keep alive and increake the disgust and lothing
which it must naturally bring upon the sacrificed
people , and this will serve the purpose considera
bly of getting the sufferers to declare in favor of a
new revolution, and a pronur.ciaraento against the
war. And at that time, an Envoy Extraordinary
and Minister Plenipotentiary will be in readiness
to take advantage of the moment, and make hit
appearance in Mexico with the olive branch and a
pacific countenance. People will then raise the
cry to admit him—to hear his propositions—and
the remaining troops, who by that time will have
taken warning by experience from their lost
comrades, finding their force and number considera
bly reduced, will have neither valor nor spirit
enough to oppose the will of the people, and then
Santa Anna, taking good advantage of this oppoi
tunity, sbTwing bis influence and intelligent
tactics, will obtain new allies, and numerous sym
pathies, by aiding the wishes ot all. And be will
then cause it to be explained, (in his customary
style, we suppose,) "that his constant wishes were
to make a peace, since the moment he saw it was
too late to make amends, and overthrow the ene
mies of the nation when they had once been allowed
to advance so far at the commencement .”
“The correspondent of La Patria, says he has
not time to copy any more of the letter, which is
very long, and where the writer enters into details
and remarks about these mysteries. He adds that
be is informed by the merchant of Havana, that
the writer is a man of high standing in Mexico,
and of considerable intellectual ability.”
Mexico.
The American Flag, published at Maiamoros
has a lew scraps ot information from the city,
ol Mexico as late as the 2nd nit which is later
than advices received here. We copy the fol
lowing:
The Government ol Mexico had received by
extraordinary express Irom Vera Cruz, official
communications Irom the United Stales, invi
ting them to enter into negotiations lor Peace
upon which subject the Government were occu
pied on fheSOth ult.
Gen’! Santa Anna was expected to be in the
city of Mexico on the 9th instant, and great
preparations were making tor his reception at the
Capitol.
It was thought that the American Commodore
had hecn fooled thus permtiing Santa Anna
to enter Mexico, The Kspectador understands
that the Commodore was very uneasy and per
plexed, after havingascertained that Santa An
na and Almonte could unite, and arm the whole
population ; and fearful that he had done wrong
in not exacting a guarantee Irom the for
mer.
With regard to the news from Maiamoros,
the Diario says: “Taylor’s army, composed
principally ot dancing masters, printers, and
doctors, are suffering greatly from the lever—
this being the season lor the prevalence of that
disease in those parts—and the disorder seems to
be augmenting every day.”
Eight thousand dollars were sent to the Gov
ernor ol this State, (Tamaulipas) by the govern
ment ol Mexico, to be distributed among the
late sufferers by inundation atCamargo.
A hasty organization was recommended to
secure their independence and liberty.
From the N. O. Picayune, 6th inst.
Important from Mexico.
Advices from Mexico were received by ihe
James L. Day which appear to us ol the utmost
importance. The American Flag of the 26th
ult., published at Maiamoros, announced the
receipt ot late news there from the city of Mexi
co direct, but the details given are not of im
portance. We are able to announce, however,
most positively, that letters were received in
this city by the Day, by a gentleman deeply in
terested In Mexican affairs, and from a very re
sponsible foreign source in Maiamoros, which
say that Gen. Almonte has been appointed Pre
sident of Mexico ad interim, and Gen. Santa
Anna generalissimo of the armies of Mexico;
and further, that Santa Anna was then engaged
in raising and organizing troops, intending to
take the held in person in the North.
This news will strike every one as important
in various aspects, hut it is especially so as
it may bear upon the armistice granted by Gen,
Taylor to Gen. Ampudia’s forces, tnd again
upon the dependence which the Government at
Washington may have placed in the pacific in
tentions of Santa Anna. We have not now the
time to enter into any reflections upon thtsnews,
but we cannot forbear calling attention to the
fact that the New York correspondent of Ihe
National Intelligencer predicted in a singular
and well considered paragraph both these events
in Mexican affairs--thal Almonte would be
made President and Santa Anna generalissimo
ol the Army. We thought the paragraph so
remarkable at the lime that we transferred it to
our columns, in which It appeared on the 17th
ull. The designs of Almonte haveoftened been
foreshadowed by one or two presses in New
York, and in this instance his purposes were
singularly anticipated.
Remarkable Discovery.— Not long since
we observed in the papers a brief notice of a won
derful discovery very lately made by Professor
Schoubein, of Germany.’ Common cotton is
so prepared, probably with a fulminating com
pound ol nitrogen, as to be suddenly converted
by a spark into a gaseous state, leaving a resi
due of only a small quantity of carbonaceous
matter. Balls and shells were said to have been
projected by this prepared cotton, the projectile
force of which is said to be many limes greater
than that ol gunpowder. It was said that four
ounces blew a thick wall to pieces-an effect
which would require, it was calculated, at least
as many pounds of gunpowder. It was added
that the cotton, though made wet, reacquires its
properties on drying. This is an extraordinary
triumph ofehemistry—but is not less true than
strange. A friend, just from Washington,saw
a letter trow a highly intelligent American of
standing, now in Frankfort, Germany, who had
witnessed the experiments, and certified to the
truth of the account. He states that one of the
German principalities had given an order for
300,000 bales ol cotton, to be employed in this
novel process ol military defence and offence.

Valuable Library.—The library ot Cam
bridge College, England, consists of 51,000 vols.,
besides 8,000 or 9,000 pamphlets. 'The depart
ment on American History is supposed to bethe
largest in the world, containings,ooo vols. The
oldest work on American History known to ex
ist, is a letter from Columbus, tianslated from
Italian into Latin, and published in 1494.
Woman’s Property.—ln the New York
State Convention, the following very important
section, changing the pecuniary relations of
parties through the marriage contract, was mov
ed by Mr. Harris and adopted by a majority of
14. All property of the wife, owned by her at
the lime of her marriage, and that acquired by
her afterwards by gilt, devise, descent or other
wise than from her husband,shall be her sepa
rate property. Laws shall be passed providing
for the registry of the wife’s separate properly,
and more clearly defining the rights of the wife
thereto, as well as to property held by her with
her husband.

Cure for Sore Throat. —The Charleston
Courier publishes the following:—“Two table
spoons lull of ashes in one pint of boiling wa
ter, to which, after being strained, add two tea
spoons ol table salt, a piece of alum and one of
saltpetre, each the size of a nutmeg, the juice of
three limes, oralitde vinegar or orange juice,
allsweeted with honey, and when cold gargle
the throat every three hours. This remedy has
been frequently tried, and never found to fail.
Domestic Greek. -The Knickerbocker gives
the.following choice specimen ol domestic Greek
—“ Jon Cameron earner to plaion the fidello the
hssis,” which translated signifies, John Camer
on came here to play on the fiddle to the las
sies.
An Expensive Plaything.—We saw recent
ly at a Bleecker-sfreet mansion, a house within
a house—a two story baby boost of elegant
gothic architectute built upon a drawing room
carpet. It contained five rooms, doors windows
and staircase complete thoughout, and two lit
tle Misses of 10 and 13, alter biding us good
morning, retired within their own dwelling but
to repeat the adieu from a second story window.
The miniature was of the richest description,
and the cost of the whole plaything, which by
the by, was so constructed upon hinges that it
oonld be turned into as compact a thing as a
clothes horse, was only $750. The same gen
tleman paid $l5O for a dog house to rest the bones
ol a favorite pet Newfoundland.—[iV Y Tri

Singular Fact.— The editor ol the New Ha
ven Herald sets it down as a lact in na'ural his
tory, proved by his experience lor years, that
when a traveller rides up to a 101 l gale, the
keeper, if a man, invarii bly brings out a box or
a handlul ol change; but ifa woman, she comes
out and takes the traveller’s coin and then goes
back lor the change.
