long time to get a train ready to move. Gen. Butler or
Marshall will command the next train. I told you in j

[Two or three days later dates from Vera Cruz
mak** no mention of any apprehension being entertain
ed with regard to these boats.]
LA E T FROM VERA CRFZ.
The latest dates from that city were by the steamer
Jaw. L. Day. which ielt on the sth and arrived at New
Orleans on the 10m inst. The dates from Vera Cruz,
are four days later than those we have published ; but
we have nothing later from the city of Mexico. This
arrival brings despatches from Gen. Scott for the gov
ernment to me 15th ult. the bearer of which passed
through here on the 14. We select a few items from
the accounts, but they contain nothing of particular
interest. From the dates accompanying the notice of
Capt. Loyal’s company, it would appear to be some
days after the time he was reported to have been killed.
The account says, that “Gen. Scott’s despatches left
Mexico between the 12th and 15th of October, escorted
by a -pv company of Mexican lancers, 100 strong, un- ‘
der command oi Col. Dominguez. The company left
Puebla the evening of the 18th and were attacked the
same nignt by a stroing force under Gen. Torrejon;—
Shortly afier they were attucked by Col. Vanios. In
the two engagements they lost fifteen of their number,
but supp->se they killed at least ten tunes that number.—
j They returned to Puebla and Gen. Lane placed the des
patehes in the hands of his adjutant general, Lieut.
Sears, who came down with his Mexican escort to
’ Vera Cruz, but accompanied as far as Plan del Rio by
the Ist Pennsylvania Regiment, under Col. Wynkoop,
Capt. Loyall’s Georgia mounted men, and three com
panies ot artilery. The American portion f the escort j
i halted at Plan del Rio and were to return with Gen. J
Patterson. Lieut. Sears reached Vera Cruz in the
! night of the 4th inst., accompanied by Capt. George •
Taylor, ‘id Artillery, Lieut. Lear, 4th Infantry and !
I Lieut. Hills, Ist Pennsylvania Regiment, on their way
home on furlough. Lieut. Henderson, Louisiana Vol
unteers. came down to join his company. About eigh
’ ty discharged soldiers also came down.
Gen Lane remains at Puebla, retaining all the com
mand he took up with him. A circular order from
Gen. Scott directs a garrison of 750 men to be stationed
jat the National Bridge, I*2oo at Jalapa and*2ooo at Pue
-1 bin—the last two points under command of general of
: ficers Gen. Cushing has been assigned by Gen. Pat
terson to the commund at Jalapa. Gen. Patterson had
reached the National Bridge on the morning of the 4th
inst., \tilh all his force, having been entirey unmolested
upon tbe route.
Gen. Lane’s command is quartered in the heart of
Puebla, the General occupying the Palace.
Santa Anna was at Tepuacan on the 26th ult. He
bad given up the idea ol going to Orizaba as he had
proposed.
A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, who
dates Vera Crus, Nov. sth says :
“The n mains ot the lamented Cnpt. Walker, and
Ins faithful servant David, are now in the Casile of Pe
rote, having been brought from Huainamia, by order of
Col. W ynkoop. They will be forwarded to the United
.States by a Urge train whP'h is shortly expected from
Mexico.
Ot Santa Anna and his whereabouts nothing more
so known, except that he is a prisoner by his own peo
ple, and will have to uudeigo tlie ordeal ol a trial. One
thing is certain —he will not wage another tight with
our troops. There are rumors ot a sjieedy peace, but in
them 1 place hut little confidence. Every thing was
quiet at Puebla at last accounts. The two La Vegas
still remain at Perote.on their parole of honor.”
M An account ot the battle of Atlixco is given in the
Flag of Freedom, of the 23d October, published at Pue
bla. A small portion of General Lane's force, Capt.
Ford's coni|any, (late W alker’s men) only, participat
ed in the muon. The enemy was first attacked be
tween the towns of Chotula and Atlixco and pureued to
the town of Atlixco, where the Mexicans, under the
vuhant Gen Rea, made a stand. It was a short one,
however, as the unerring aun of tlie deadly American
rifle soon drove them from t.ieir position, and caused
them to seek safety in a precipitate retreat, leaving, by
the account ot the Flag, over &AJ dead on the field and 1
us many more wounded. The number 01 die killed and
wounded ol the enemy is, no doubt,under me murk,as

the 3oth ultimo a translation ol Santa Annu s official
report of the last light m which he was wonted by Gen.

*3iR —His Excellency the provisional President of the
Republic, profoundly impressed with lus duty toward
his country, convinced ol the necessity of re-establish
ing public morality in the nation, of giving more vigor
to the discipline of the army, for some time so relaxed
and almost extinguished by our civil dissensions; desi
ring, also, to manifest to the population of the metrop*
| ohs of Mexico, and other cities in the power of the en
emy, whose fate is not indifferent to your excellency;
l in fine, considering that in all w T ell organized countries,
: generals of the army have to answer before a tribunal
| lor the faults they have committed, and the reverses
i which they have experienced in their campaigns, he,
the Provisional Pres dent, directs that your Excellency
i transfer the command in chief of the army to General of
i Division Don Manuel Rincon, and until that officer is I
j on the spot to assume it, you will place it in the bunds ‘
ot General Don Juan Alvarez. His Excellency, the
( Provisional President, also directs that your Excellen
cy establish your residence in such a locality as you
shall deem convenient, and which may be in accord
i ance with the views ot the supreme government,
and that you there await, until the guarantee of I
your word ot honor, the orders of the assembling of a ‘
j court martial, composed of general officers, to try your
Excellency lor the loss of the uctions in which you have
commanded during the present war, and principally for ;
the loss (capture) of the capital of the Republic.
His Excellency, the President, thinks it due to your
honor that it should be cleared and purified i
by a judicial investigation, the result of which he hope ,
will be favorable and honorable to you.

Mr. Folk's Friend Santa Anna.
The American public have daily cause to admire the I
j foresight and sagacity which induced Mr. Polk to per
mit Santa Anna to return to Mexico. To be sure it
would have occurred to ordinary minds, that a man who
| would bargain for a return to his own country, in order
that he might be able to betray t, was not much to be
trusted. But Mr. Poik's is not an “ ordinary nnnd,” :
and the renultuf his negotiation with Santa Anna proves
beyond a ppradventure, that it was the most extraordi
nary piece of diplomatic tact that the world has ever
been called on to admire. Look at Santa Anna’s last
proclamation. Defeated in a series of bloody engage
ments, and driven from his capital, observe wh.it mild
and peaceful sentiments he breathes; admire how ex
actly ail Mr. Polk’s anticipations have been realized,
and see the policy of permitting Santa Anna’s return
amply vindicated. Take the following sentence as evi
dence of Santa Anna’s friendship for this country and
desire for peace:
, 44 Mexcans! You will find me as ever, leading in 1
your defence, striving to free you from a heavy yoke,
and to preserve your altars from infamous violation, and
your daughters and wives from the extremity of insult.
The enemy raises the sword to wound your noble fronts ;
do you draw it likewise to chastise the rancorous pride
of the invader.”
How Mr. Polk’s eyes must be rivetted on these peace
ful sentiments, thus gently expressed, and how he must
chuckle in his inmost soul, when he reflects that Santa
Anna owes his power, to bold this language, to his pru
dence, to his sagacity and foresight. —Petersburg ( Va.)

Transatlantic Postages.
The Washington Union has the following official an
( nunciaiioii :
Post Office Department {
Novembers, 1847 f
The British Government having seen fit to charge
with full postage across the Atlantic the mail matte r
which was actually conveyed across it by the United
States mail steamer Washington, it became necessary
as a measure of self-protection, that this government J
should take the steps therein authorized, for terminate- ‘
mg the subsisting arrangement between the two coun- |
tries, in relation as well to British mails in transit through
this country for their colonial possessions on this conn- |
nent, as the ordinary mail intercourse between these
possessions and the United Stales. This was accord
ingly done ; and those arrangements will in conse
quence terminate on the sixteenth day of the present
month.
The necessary result will be, that on and after the six
teenth instant, no mail matter destined for any of the
British ponsessions on this continent, will be permitted
to leave the United States, unless the United States post
age thereon is previously fully paid.

officer, from which we are gratified to learn that his
wounds in the late battles were not dangerous. His es- ‘
cape under the circumstances of extreme danger in !
which he was placed, is indeed remarkable. His view s
upon the result of Gen Scott’s being constrained to fight {
with an inadequate force are strongly expressed, and |
deserve consideration, as the opinions ot a brave and

, the army, nod at tlie head of whom, ns the president,
I is Brig. Gen. Bn>okc. Capt. John F. Lee of the Ord
| nance Department, the Judge Advocate, is the young
’ est at the board.
Gen. Kearney and Lieut. Col. Fremont are as un
like as possible, in personal appearance. The former
is not over six feet; is, apparently, about fifty-two or
lour years of age. His features are well marked, his
hair is ailver-gruy; and there is so much of gentili'y in
his carriage that it subdues the stem aspect of the sol
dier. Ido not pretend to desenlie the gallant general*
I am free to admit, however, that the more I gaze up
"ti him the more lam delighted with his handsome
lace and figure. The latter cannot lie more than thirty
years ot age, or not too old to be the son of his princi
pal accuser. In person he is what Musuuliy called
“spare,” aud of small teature* . bereft of his uniform, n
stranger would not designate him as an army officer
He sits, in tlie court room, at the same table with his
! father-in-law, Col. Benton, and his brother-in-law’
Mr Jones. Gen. Kearney occupies a position on the
right of the Judge Advocate ; and these two gentle
men, the ex-governors of California, first engage the
special observation of visitors.
1 o-dny the taking of testimony was commenced
| Gen. Kearney, in the course ot the examination, rela
| ted that he had a conference with Col. Fremont in Cal-
ifornia on the subject of a ietter written by Fremont re
fusing a compliance with the order of Gen Kearney,
on the ground that Commodore Stockton was the su
perior officer in command of the territory. General
Kearney said: “I told him that I was an older man than
himself; that I had great respect and regard for his
wife, and great friendship lor his father-in-law, Col.
Benton, from whom I had received many acts of kind
ness , that these considerations induced me to volun
teer advice to him, and that adviet was, that he should
lake that Utter back and destroy it; that 1 was willing
to forget it. Lieut. Col. Fremont declined taking it
back, und told me that Com. B’ockton would support
him in the position he had taken in that letter. I told
i fr ,,n l fr ßt Commodore Stockton could not support him
in disobeying the orders of lus senior officer, and that,
j *1 fr‘‘ persisted in it, he would ruin himself.”
Colonel Fremont conceives that, as there was a con
flict of jurisdiction between Commodore Stockton and
General Kearney, the present is the trial of Commo
dore Stockton in the person of himself. Commodore
Stockton is expected to be present as a witness for the
defence. There are fifteen of the men who accompa
-1 meJ trie Colonel in his expedition. ’The tnal will pro
bably occupy six weeks, and has already excited much
interest in our community, as it will throughout the
United States.

Prime, Ward v i o.
The President and directors of the Jefferson County
Bank obtained a judgement some ime sure in the Su
preme Court of New-York against Messrs. Prime
VV ard &Cos. for $.S0,(I00; and the del ndants subsequent
ly made payments which reduced the mount to about
$70,000. 11l the course oflast mornh an action was
brought by plaint.Hi on the judgment for the recovery
of the above mentioned sum, and immediately after
wards had them arrested under a Stillwell warrant on
tlie ground of fraud. Alter a patient hearing m the
case Judge Edmonds of the Supreme Court overruled
all the objections made by the defendants, ami sustained
the warrant. The counsel of Prime, Ward & Cos ap
plied for a postponement Os the order until the afternoon
Os Wednesday, in order that he might make up h.s mind
what course to pursue, whether to bring defendants up
by writ of habeas corpus to the -Suprern * Court, or to
appeal from the decision. The Manhattan Bank, the
next largest creditor has also issued a Stillwell warrant
•or $10,315.
j We regret to learn that the affairs ol this disting
j uished house are assuming a position for which Stillwell
| warants, are sustained by the Supreme Court of N w
- York The current events of tlie day, lioih in England
and this country, strongly aim .n,so nil ooainrs men

Potato Crop.
The potnto crop in this State will tie greatly dimin
ished by the rot, which prevails extensively here ss
| elsewhere. f I he disease is said to have steadily increas
ed ever since it was first manifested, ami some cultiva
-1 tors, vegetable physiologists and others, begin to express
a fear that we shall lose the vegetable altogether unles 8
some remedy is found. This would, indeed, be a greot
public calamity. The annual product of the potato crop
111 good seasons, may be estimated at 150,000 ,000 bush
els, which yield to the growers, at an average price <,f
twenty cents per bushel, the sum ot s3o,ooo,ooo—an iiu
| tuense amount ot productive value for a nation to lose,
| ♦•specially so—as there ia not a plant it the whole cata
lougue of productions (hat could possibly indemnify us.
The most popular theory ascribes the disease to fungi
or parasitical influences. This position is adopted by
the principal vegetablephyaiolog.sts of (neat Britain,
France, and the United States, and most of the dieC
nons published in the Agricultural papers, an* given
with a reference to this tael.
A writer in the Boston Daily Journal of Saturday pro
j teases to have discovered the cause of the dis. ase, and
nays that uu easy, simple remedy is at hand, accessible
to every one—which he promises to show speedily.—
