Newspaper Literature.
The day of* Columbiads” and “Fredoniads” in
poetry, and of essays which expaud themselves
into volumes, is, in ail probability, forever past.
The taste, character and tendencies of the ago
demand condensation of thought—pith, poiut,
and power in composition. Even iu tho excite
ment of a political campaign, a long article iu a
newspaper is passed over by the reader, who re
gards its dimensions os proofpositive that “there’s
nothing in it.” He, therefore, who wishes to
roach tho groat mind of tho pcopio on any subject,
whether political, scientific, or literary, must avoid
prolixity.
This characteristic of our times has induced
many to suppose tlio utter absence of all literary
taste. This we are very slow to believe. So long
as man continues to be tlio same being that ho is,
with the same passions, the same affections, the
same hopes, tlio same asperutious, tho lovo of
some kind of literature can never die. If it bo
tho natural reflection of his own inner being, it
cannot fail to interest him. Tho error has, per
haps, been in not studying with sufficient atten
tion that innor being; operated upon as it is by
tlio untoward circumstances of American life—a
being of intense, yet rapid excitation, receiving
vivid yet changing impressions from the sudden
movements in the social world, borne uloug witii
tlie stream-like rapidity of American progress,
which scarcely leaves u breathing time.
We have said that the day of lengthy epics is
past; but who can doubt that tho passionate lyric,
if it bo true to nature, still falls, like a blessed sun
beam, upon tho soul which is darkened by the
cares and perplexities ofiife ? True poetry can*
never lose its power; and all literary composition,
if it bo worth any thing, must partake of this char,
actcr of poetry. It will still continue to produce
pleusurable emotion, so long as man is a think
ing. intelligent, sentient creature. Tho lovo of
the beautiful in thought and fueling is a natural
passion of his soul, nut^cannot be wholly and al
together crushed. It must be appealed to, how
ever, in a proper manner.
They who say that ours are not a literature-lov
ing people do not reflect. Ours is decidedly tho
mast reading people iu tho world. Any thing
Which addresses itself to tho mind or the heilrt
through tho medium of writing is literature, and
wo doubt whether any people iu tho world are
generally such reliable judges of good compo
sition as our own. Ours is decidedly a newspa-
paper literature,. With asuinch repugnance ns
the reader pushes asido tho prolix efforts of the
studied authors, with so much eugeritess does he
turn to the short, pithy, racy article iu tlio news
paper. It is through tho channel of tho newspa
per that the American mind is to he addressed up
on all subjects of drought; aud he who approaches
it properly will not fail to obtain a hearing.
Politics 1ms of course been the leading theme of
newspaper writers, hut should it he the only one?
The government of the nation is of course an all
important subject; and far distant he die day when
the people shall cease to think on political nub-
jects, and when parties, under proper restraints,
shall exist no longer. But during the calms
which intervene between die periodical storms of
political contention, it would seem to us, that
that paper would consult the tastes, ns well os tho
interest, of its readers, which should direct their
attention to such matters ns might afford ngrcca-
ble and innocent drought. Life, as it pulsates
within and around us, is full of fecliugs and inci
dents which furnish topics for literary reflection,
and in our part of the Union at least, tho news
paper is tho only home channel through which
they can find au expression. We have,therefore,
dirowu out dieso few desultory thoughts, hoping
to suggest to the intelligent minds of our readers
tho idea, that writing for the newspaper does not
necessarily mean writing about politics. We
know that among them are many who would take
pleasure, not simply iu reading, but in composing
such literary effusions as plainly teud to engage,
rest; and delight die mind, while they soften, re
fine, and purify tl|£ heart.
Life of OeiuTnylor.
We have received from Messrs. Gmaa, Elm

thentic incidents of his early years, from materials
collected by Robert T. Conrad; with a portrait
and eleven illustrations of battles, &c<
Although die stirring events embodied Itl this

of a reading public, We presumo dint many will
be pleased to possess tho life of Old Rouoh and

die theatre of our military glory, and identified
with die earliest victories which marked our pro.
gress towards and beyond the Rio Grande, Wo

LATEST FROM VERA CRUZ.
Arrival of tho Steamship James!.. Day.
The steamship James L. Day, Capt. O’Grady,
arrived hero at a late hour lost night, from Vera
Cruz—having left there on tho 19th inst. Through
tho politeness of Capt. O’Grady, wo arc indebted
for tlio prompt delivery of our Vera Cruz corres
pondence, and for files of tiro Genius of Liberty
and El Arco Iris, from which we hasten to lay
before our readers tho following synopsis.
On tlio 25th September, Santa Anna, aftcrhU
arrival in Puebla, purporting to bo iu comraaud
ofdOOO men,addressed Col. Childs, at tho garrison
of Puebla, requesting his immediate evacuation of
that post, permitting Cot. Childs to. forma junc
tion with Gen. Scott, or with the American forces
at Perote, aud threatening, in the event of Col.
C’s. refusal, to assault his position. In Col.
Childit’ reply to tho very modest request of Con.
Santa Anna, he defends hhusclf from tho charges
of Santa Anna as regards tlio ill-treatment of tlio
Mexican citizens by tiro troops under his com
mand. With regard to Santa Anna’s threats of
attacking him iu care of his refusal to evacuuto
die garrison, Col. Childs replies as follows:
“With regard to that particular partofyour Ex
cellency’s letter which domands the surrender,
within n fixed time, of all tiro positions r.o.v occu
pied by the troops under uiy command, I cun on
ly say iu reply, that having been honored with
the duty of guarding and protecting them, it is e-
qually my greatest wish, and paramount obliga
tion to preserve thorn to the last. And I am fully
satisfied that l shall ho able to defend them suc
cessfully, inasmuch as I have at my disposal ull the
resources essential to its full aud complete accom
plishment.
“With considerations, in tiro highest degree re
spectful, I have the honor to be, Your Excellency’s
most obedient servant, Thomas Ciiilus,
“Colonel of the Army of tho United States, and
Civil nuil Military Governor.”
The following translated from the Arco Iris, de
scribes tho attack on Col. Childs and tho result:
Puebla, 23/A.—At fivo o'clock on the evening of
yesterday; tlio points of Sun Juan do Dios, Santa
Rosa, and Santa Mouica, commenced u heavy
cannonade upon tlio American works. The lat
ter immediately began to throw cauuou shot,
bombs, aud grenades into the centre of the city,
which sutlered in consequence some considerable
injury.
Don Marnno del Rio whilst standing with his
wife on the back balcony of his house, wus killed
by a cannon ball. * At about 8 o’clock, I\ M., the
cuttuouude ceased, hut counucuccd again at the
dawn of the following day.
Puebla, 2U/A.—By order of Santa Anna, a hotly
of troops wus yesterday posted in tho Convent of
Santa Teresa, at one of the corners of which a
breast-work of cotton halos was erected. Four
huudrcdcottou halos have already been demanded
of tho hoitso of Velasco for the defences of (the
city. To prevent tho completion of this work,
the Americans, from tho Fort of Sun Jose, kept
up acontiuuul lire upon the workmen, which be
ing stoutly returned by the Mexicans, tiro dis
charge of bombs uutl grenades from the American
linos greatly increased. At this moment a con
siderable number of citizens went to Santa Anna,
who was at Carmen, and requested of him a piece
«Jf artillery, which being granted, together with a
small bodyofmeu for. its management,they quick
ly marched to the Convuut ol'riunta Rosa, and
opened a well directed lire upon tho American
Works. Wo were in the greatest consternation,
hut night at last supervening, everything bccamo
quiet.
The nuns of Santa Rosa were transferred in
litters to Suutu Catalina, and it is said that the
same thing will ho done with those of Snnta Mo
nica, although tlio latter are strongly opposed to
leaving their monastic asylum.
Puebla, 30/A.—To-day tranquillity for tho most
reigns in tho city. Now and then can ho heard
the report ofa canuoii, and the explosion of some
grenades thrown in the direction of San Juan del
ltio, in the rear of whoso church, General Rea
last night concluded u battery, with which he in
tends to open upon Sail Jose.
Our soldiers are complaining very much, and
say, that they aro ready to die of hunger, not hav
ing received anything, in the tsliupe of provisions
for some considerable time.
Tiie greatest enthusiasm against the Americans,
prevails throughout tiie cutirecity.
Puebla, Oct. 2d.—Since Santa Anna’s depar
ture tiie cannonading has totally slackened off.
The cottou storehouse of Velasco took fire last
night and was burned to the ground; and 200
bales of cottou were totally consumed in the con-
vout of Sail Domingo, without any one’s being
able to account for the mode in which they were
fired. The inhabitants hearing tho ringing of
hells, which announced tho incendiarism, were
very much alarmed, believing that tiro Americans
had left their entrenchments, aud were storming
tho city.
Ou tlio 1st of tho present mouth, General Santa
Anna, at tiro head ol‘2000 men, cavalry and infant-
n\and with three pieces of artillery, sallied out of
1’iichla, intending to uttack the American train
which left Julapa ou the 1st inst., and reached Pe
rote on the 4th. But, before arriving at Topey-
uhualco, the designs of tho coinmauder-iu-ceief of
tiie Mexican forces were wholly frustrated, all his
men, with the exception of 130 hussars of his per
sonal guard, having pronounced ngainsthim. As
au cxctiso for this proceeding, tho officers aud
privutcs alled^cd that they were firmly convinced
that their further continuance at the disposal and
under tlio orders of tiie ex-President would only
be followed by their complete sacrifice—and that,
withal, their country would not derive the slight
est heuefit from it.
They attributed tho uufortunntc events of the
war, and their want of success, iu their bnttles a-
goinst the invaders, to his incapacity and linskil-
fulness. Even some of them loudly declared him
to be a traitor, aud consequently unworthy of
holding any couiuiaud in the Mexican army.
The greutcr part of tlieso transactions trans
pired at Nopulucan.
Santa Anna having got to Tepeyalmalco with
his 130 hussars,he received an order from tho gov
ernment of Querotaro, directing him to proceed
thither at once with all tlio troops which were at
his orders. But the Gcucral did not deem itcou-
venient to comply with tho mandate of his gov
ernment, aud took up his liuo of march for Oux-
twa, whither, by tiro lust account, ho was wending
his way. lie publicly declared that his intentions
in going < to Onxacas, were to see whether he
could raise there another army, with which he
might return to renow tiro combat with tho en
emies of the Republic.
All tho letters from the interior coincide iu say
ing thut Gen. Santa Anna, conscious of his impo-
tency to effect anything more either in tlio carry-
on of the war, or of adjusting tlio terms of pcaco,
is making his way towards Guatemala, for the
purpose of leaving tho Republic of Mexico for
ever, and that his march to Oaxaca is only a pre
text to the quiet accomplishment of his dusigus.
Seuor Pena y Pena Is disclrormg tho duties of

cognize, as his associates in power, tlio individu
als nominated and appointed by Snnta Anna.—
Ho proposes that Congress shall take upon itself

high office.
. The following, which wo have not before seen,
and which we take from tlio Geuius of Libert)’, is
the soul-stirring address of Gen. Quitman to his
command, on its march to tho assault of the Cas
tle of Chapultepec t
Companions I tho national flag which I now pro-
immm
sont to you was given to mo many ye&HHpfrajit)
I thou vowed that it should bo triumphant. Sinco
thon. Black Hawk has been conquered, and the
Setninoles have been 'vanquished, beneath its
lblds. ; 'It has. also waved victoriously iu the bat
tles of Palo Alto, Resacado la Palma; Monterey,
Vera Cruz, Cerra Gordo, and in those which
havo been fought in front of tho City ofMexico.
I now entrust it to yoW keoping, knowing that
you wiU confer upon it additional glories, by
planting it upon the highest point of the Castlo
ofChapultopcc. •■>*
Tho soldiers applauded, and this flag was tlio
first that fluttered over the battlements of the Cas
tle.
The Guerrillas.—“Mossona,” of tho Delta, wri
ting from Vera Cruz, undor dato of 15th instant,
says:
“Tho policy pursued by Gen. Patterson is
worthy of all praise. He is indohtigable iu his
exertions to 11 to persecute the pooiguerrillas.”—
Two days ago he sent out two detachments of
mounted men, mostly Texans, aui they emuo a-
cross a couple of bands of Gtionillas, and they
succeeded in killing sotno thirty odd of their num
ber, destroyed a Iftrga number ofirms and a great
nuautity of ammnuition; besides burning down
tho main place of rendezvous #f these outlaws,
the hacienda of Colonel ZcnoVia. lie had ob
tained a safeguard for his lions* from Gen. Scott,
but he turned guerrilla and forfeited it, and tiro
Texans served him right. Yet, wo have men
here, who insist our government will havo to pay
this Guerilla Chieftan tho value of his hacienda.-^
Nonsense. Captain. Amrstrong, of the Texan
Rangers, will settle tlio account with him in an
other way.”
From tlio Picnyune.
There appears to have been some difficulty in
tlio Massachusetts Rcjimcut, judging from tlio
following order issued by Gon. Cushing. Wo
have letters in the mail.^vhich was not distributed
last night,) which wo presume will throw some
light on tlio affair:
Headquarters, Vera Cruz, Oct. 15,1847.
oroeus No. 32.
The following named men of companies—,—,
7”, 1st Regiment Massachusetts Infantry, being
incorrigibly mutinous and insubordinate, will, of
course, prove cowards in hour of danger,and they
cannot bo permitted to march with this column of
tho army. They arc disarmed and detached from
tiro regiment, and will report to Brevet Major
Bachusfor such duty in the Castle of San Juan
de Ulna, as may ho performed by soldiers who
are found unworthy to carry arms, aud are a dis
grace and a nuisance to tlio "army.
By order of Brig. Gen. Cushing.

Here follows a list of sixty-five names ol the
men above referred to.
The James L. Day arrived at Vera Cruz on the
17th inst., from tlio Brazos. Col. Jack Ilays
went over on her with the company of Capt.
Roberts, ofhis regiment.
The steamship New Orleans was at Tampico
at last accounts, but could not get out over the bar
without lightering. Lighters had been sont from
Vera Cruz to her assistance.
Wo find no other mention of Gen. Lane and his
couimandthan isgiven incidentally in the narrativi
ot uffidrs nt Puebla. lie was at Perote on the 4th
inst., mid we have now no doubt whatever, enter
ed Puebla a very few days thereafter.
Tho Arco Iris oftliolCth inst. speaks of tho ex
tensive preparations making at Vorgnrn to des
patch a train. It says there are more than 4,000
troops there, of nil arms. Their number leads
tlio editor to conjecture that Gen. Patterson has ii_
view nn expedition against some State not hither
to invaded by American arms, instead of reinfor
cing Gen. Scott.
Tlio same paper has sotno speculations upon
tho probable action ofthc Congress ut Qucretaro,
but mentions no facts. Among other things it
mentions that there nro those who pretend Hint the
minds of tiro people of tiro interior havo under
gone a change since our occupation of the city of
Mexico, and thut they are disposed for peace up
on any terms. Wo have little faith iu this.

(From tho Washington Union, 2.ld inst)
City of Mexico, Sept. 27, iai7.
To the Editor of the. Union:
Sir : General Pillow lias been repeatedly de
preciated and abused by certain presses. This
may furnish a sufficient rcasou for tiro following
description of his military services. Since our
nrmy arrived in this valley, wo havo fought four
bloody battles; the first at “Contreras,” on the'
39th aud 20th of August, in which we carried the
enemy’s great out-work,took 22 pieces of artillery
1,200 prisoners, aud killed and wounded J,500 of
the enomy. General Pillow was iu comunud of
aU our forces engaged, and had under him Briga
dier General Twiggs’ division, and Gen. Shields’
brigade of Volunteers. The judgment, skill,
strategy, and science with which this battle was
planned and carried out, received the warm ap
proval oTGen. Scott, and called forth the applause
and admiration of the whole army, and placed
General Pillow at once, in the estimation of the
army, in the first rank of American generals. We
had 4,500 men in tins action, while tlio force of
the enomy exceeded 1G,000. After we had gain
ed this.signal victory, and by it opeued the way to
turn the enemy’s works at San Antonio, which
hitherto liold our nrmy at bay and bid defiance to
its approach, Gen. Pillow, seizing the moment
and the advautngc which this position and the en
emy’s panic gave him, after apprizing Genera*
Scott of his success, rapidly pursued the enemy,
aud whirled around the valley to assail San An
tonio iu the rear. Ilaviuggotten close to this po
sition, it was discovered that the enemy had fullcn
back upon another strong fortification at Churu-
bnsco. Gen. Scott having now over taken the
army, for tho firs? time assumed command, and
immediately gave tlio enemy battle at Churuhus-
co. After a long, desperate, and bloody battle,
the enemy was completely routed aud driven
from his works with great slaughter. Through
out this battle, Gcnoral Pillow was distinguished
by his great activity and gallantry. He was once
knocked down by tlio concussiou of a shell, and
with his own hands shot dead a Mexican colonel.
Ilis division greatly distinguished itself, aud his
command, in conjunction with Worth’s, stormed
the stroug work—-the tele de pout—one of Pil
low’s regiincuts capturing all tho American de
serters—60 iu number—and carried off the flag
from thisfltrong work. Gen. P.’s brilliaut successes
iu these actions induced Gen. Scott to select him af
ter tho armistice was broken,to storm Chapultepec
—the Gibralter of tho valley of Mexico. This
work is situated on the identical spot upon which
stood the palace oftlie once opulent and renowned
Montezuma. It is u|)on a beautiful eminence,
steep and very difficult of ascent, except on one
side south-of-west of the capital, aud, by its posi
tion, commanding with its artillery the volloy, the
garita fortification, and tlio citadel—the strongest
fortification inside the capital—as also tlio strong
battery on tlio San Cosuie road. This strong
work seemed conscious of its strength. It looked
proudly upon everything around, as did the one
lordly monarch who had trod its princely heights
in tho palmy days ofhis greatness and glory. In
every direction for one and a half miles it annoy
ed our troops by its terrible fire. It had at the
base of tiro hill, euclosiug about forty acres of
ground, a wall ofstono about twenty feet high
uud four feet thick. The inside of tliie wall was
filled with troops, who Jay behind breastworks
and largo cypress trees from twelve to twenty feet
lit diameter—the same trees which stood there
tlio days of the fur-fumed Montezuma himself.—
Again, halfway up the heights was a strong re
dan uncircliug tho whole front of tho hill, which
was also filled with troop?. The front of this hill
below the redan was filled with mines charged
with powdqr and filled witii stones, .to bo ignited
the moment our troops should venture’ upon it.
Abovo this redan was on Inner wall coveriiig'the
crest of the bill, with a wide and deep ditch and
cottntOMcarp; Inside this wall was the main
citadel, filled xVitli troops, with eleven pieces of
artilloiy, some of Uieni of the largest calibre,
which swept the sumuiit of the UiU and tho ap
proaches on all sides.
This strong aud giant work held olirarmyin
check, and cramped our operations in ull practi
cable approaches to the city.
In assaulting one of tlio outwork—tho “mills’*
—Gen. Worth lost, in killed and wouuded.an the
8th instant, 814 men.
At length it became manifest to General Scott
and tlio whole army that wo could proceed no (Ur-
t her until this work was carried, and it was re
solved upon as a last desporato effort, upon which
tho very fate of our nrmy depended. Geij. Pil
low was sent for by Gen. Scott, and was told,
“This work mustbo taken,"and said thatho had se
lected him to do tho work,^uid asked emphatically
if he could take it. General Pillow replied that
“ho would carry it, or bo left dead upon tlio field.”
What a noble sontiulont—how glorious tlio re
sult.
At daylight ou tho morilirtg of the 13th Pillow
made his first movement by sciging tlio Molino
del Rey. IIo held this placo that day under a hea
vy firo from Chapultepec, aud with an immense
body of tho enemy’s lancers on his left flank and
rear. During this day ho thoroughly reconuoh
tered tho oncuiy’s works, tho approaches aud
ground, to Chapultepec; and at 10 o’clock, p. m.,
reported to Gon. Scott that ho was ready, and
would assault tho work early the next morning.
At8 o’clock on tho morning of tho 13th, having
completed his dispositions, and given his orders in
person, ho ordered tho advance; and most nobly
did his gallant commund do their duty. They
entered .the outer wall through two narrow gate
ways, entering into the mills and one small breach
which was protected by n strong sand-bag breast
work, under a concentrated fire into those aper
tures from a long liuo of tho entrenched enemy.
They dashed nobly forward over breastworks,
through ditches and marshes, to tiie foot of Cha-
pultepec—drovo tlio enemy so rapidly up the
heights, that he could not fire his mines—drove
them from the redan, and into tlio very citadel,and
scaled the inner walls upon ladders, and captured
the principal fortification—tilting 800 prisoners,
among whom was Major Gcucral Bravo, who
was iu command, Brigadier Generals Moutude,
Arrioga, Doramentcs, and Sulduna, nnd killed two
other Brigadier Genoruls—captured 11 pieces of
artillery, and killed nnd wounded 1,200 of tiie
enemy. In storming this work, General Pillow
was, with his advancing forces, nobly and gallant
ly leading the assaults,when ho was cut down by a
grape-shot, which crushed his leg bone just a-
hove the ankle-joint; but ho made his men carry
him forward, in order to witness tho consumma
tion ofthc most glorious victory that has ever been
achieved by tho American arms; nnd ho saw the
“stars and stripes” planted upon tlio citadel which
had so long bid defiance to us. With Chapultc-
pec fell two batteries at its base, on tiro side next
tiro city, and immediately afterwards tiro city it
selfwas ours: “Ilail Columbia.”
Tho effect of these brilliant sticcoscs, in three
'successive battles, has been to placo General Pil
low in a high position in tiro profession of arms,
and among tiro first generals of our country.
He 1ms shown himself to be possessed of military
talents of the first order, while he has cstublisod a
reputation for intrepidity and during which fears
no danger. Though cut down at tiro very foot of
Chapultepec, he had himself carried forward, un
der a terrible fire, and entered tiro work which lie
had so nobly and gallantly stormed, just os tho
“star-spangled banner” of his beloved country
was roared and flouted gracefully to tho breeze
over tiro walls of tiro-castle.
In brilliancy this achievement is unsurpassed
by tlmt of this or any other army. I was myself
au eye-witness to the whole assault, and spoult
what I know; and thoy are tiro common senti
ments of tiro army. When Gen. Scott enrno up
to where Gen. Pillow lay tipouu wall of tiro cita
del, with his log badly crushed by a largo grape
shot, ho exclaimed, “My dear General, I thank
God for your glorious success. Your country
will cover you ull over with honor, and will pour
out its heart in gratitude for your distinguished
gallantry this day.”
Hois devoted to his division, and his division
is devoted to him; aud many have I hoard express
their regret that they were not attached to tiro
command of this bravo und meritorious officer,
whom furtlicr tumors await.
Truly yours, VERITAS.
(It gives us pleasure to state, for tlio gratifica
tion of tho numerous friends of Gcnoral Pillow,
that his wound is rapidly recovering, and that he
indulges the hope of soon resuming his proper
commaud.)
From the Augusta Constitutiniiali.t, of Wetlucjday
Mexico AIit»t De Subjugated.
This plain proposition put forth by us a few
days ago, seems to have struck our sensitive
friend ofthc Chronicle with utter consternation.
We had no idea that the proposition would so
startle him, as a novelty and an outrage. But
his comments of Monday morning indicate that
it has burst upon him suddenly, like a thunder
bolt from a cloudless sky, and taken him wholly
by surprise, and overwhelmed his affrighted imag
ination witii innumerable horrors.
We had supposed that the sagacious and lynx-
eyed associate yditor, ever watchful aud obser
vant of the signs of the political horizon, must
have perceived long sinco tiro inevitable tenden
cy of things to this grand finale. It needed no
Astrologer to examine tho signs of the Zodiac be
fore tiro subjugation of Mexico could be predic
ted as a tiling possible, probable, inevitable.—
Some uiny hare thought from the beginning of
tiro war that this was tiro true policy, and wo ore
of that number. Others may gradually have a-
wakened to the policy nnd advantages of it, while
others again, and these lost constitute the great
body of the Americau people, have only very rc-
cenily become convinced, as they now arc, that
this isuot only politic, BUT NECESSARY, iu
the present'aspect of affairs. There seems to be
no other alternative left us,consistent with nation
al rights and national honor, and future security.
This is not ahold and dreuming scheme of the
Editor of the Constitutionalist, as the Chronicle
characterizes it. We have a coincidence of opin
ion to sustain us in a quarter that tho Chronicle
should respect. It will be remembered that tiro
Whigs of Georgia, in convention, being assured
of the identity of his principles with their's, recom
mended Gen. Zachary Taylor-for tho Presidency.
Now tiro Nntioual Whig, published nt Washing
ton City, assumes to be the orgnn (par excellence)
of Taylor Whiggery. We find tlmt this print goes
forRubjugatiou also. It calls the policy by a dif
ferent name. Its term is “The Civil Occupa
tion of Mexico.” This means the same thing
that we do, we presume, nnd we like our form of
expression better. It couveystho idea ta the mind
more distinctly, we think, anil is therefore prefer
able.

CHARLESTON, Oct.,23.—From Havana.—
We have been favored with tiro following extract
of a letter, received in this city from Huvuiia, via
New Orleans:
“HAVANA, Oct. 14.—The Arabian and Cas
