to justify the undertaking. Our report* of the pro
ceedings will bo regularly kept up, and will em
brace everything of interest transpiring in both
Houses. This is done without any additional charge
to our subscribers or advertising patrons’, nml wo
trust our friends in the city nnd country will exert
themselves to increase ourstili'scription list, in or
der that may be somewhat indemnified for the ad
ditional expense incurred, in our eflbrta to make
this paper worthy of tlieir iavor, and of public pat-
rotiago generally.
nr Our advertising friends will please linnd in
their faTors intended for Tuesday's paper, on Mon
day morning, and those intended for Friday’s pa
per, on Thursday morning. No advertisement
will be received after two o'clock on these days.
. HcTWc would call attention to Mr. Warxer’^
advertisement. Wo base area many of hia liko-
nesses, nil of which bear the highest testimony to
his skill ns n Dogi'crrcotypist.
Tbc Ynu IturfiiM.
In nnother column will be found n letter from
ox-l’residcnt Vnn Burcn to the editoroful’ennsyl-
vnuia paper, who has recently exhumed him from
his retreat nt Kiuderhook, nnd unfurled bis flag fur
the next Presidency. This letter is in no way re-
markable, unless it may bo its striking harmony
with tho lending characteristics of its anchor. Tho
reader will percoive that Mr. Van Burcn decliues
thoprofTereil crown; but, in such n coy nud gcutlo
mauneras to warrant tho belief that Ids remonstran
ces can be easily overcome, should the party bo
hard run for n candidate. There is a portion of
this letter, however, to which no good Democrat
v. ill object. Wc mean that part of it in which he
exhorts the Democratic party to avoid all violence
and acrimony -between the friends of rival candi
dates, and to devote tlieir time in the next Con
gress, to the support of the Administration, in a
distant aud difficult war, rather tbau to the intrigues
of President-making. This is all well said and ex
ceedingly pretty, nud now that lie has discharged
bis duty to the party in Congress, wc trust bo will
address himself, with all zeal ,to bis sou, Prince
John, and a few of his particular friends nt home.
4 . Tlio crowded state of our columns today,
prevents us from noticing tho very remarkable
speech of Mr. John Van Boren, as we could wish.
We will pay it our respects iu detail on Tuesday.
“The Republic, w n unr Paprr.
We unintentionally omitted last week to notice
tlie prospectus, published in the Augusta papers, by
J. M. Smith, Esq., who for tho last two years has
bccu one of the Editors of the Chronicle & Senti
nel. Mr. S. proposes to commence in tho city of
Augusta on tho first of January, a new Whig Jour
nal entitled the ‘‘Republic.” "With Mr. Shttu
we hare but little acquaintance, except through
the colurnt* of the Chronicle & Sentinel. Its edi
torials, however, have convinced us that ho is an
able and ready writer, and a courteous aud high,
minded gentleman, and we cordially extern! to him
the courtesies of the professiou. Ditferiug most
widely with him in opinion, we are nevertheless
sure that in all discussions that may arise between
us, to meet a fair autngonist, and to maintain that
personal courtesy, which should always mark the
collision of sentimout between gentletneu, £vcn
though they difTer widely in opinion-
The party to which the ‘‘Republic" will bo de
voted will find in it, we doubt not, uu ablo and
zealous champion of its measures, and while we
cannot say we are at "all partial to file principles
tho ‘‘Republic" will advocate, personally wo. wish
the editor abnudaut and substantial success iu bis
undertaking.

Mexican Whigs.—Wo notice among the seve
ral officers chosen by the present Legislature, "a
right smart spriukliug” of Mcjeicm Whigs. Mr.
Digby, tho worthy Messenger to the House of Rep
resentatives, lost’im arm iu tho battle of Buctin
Vista, nud had the honor of serving in Col. Jeffer
son Davis’ celebrated lliflo Rcgiuienf. Mr. Digby
though a resident of Randolph county, was on a
visit to Mississippi, and was impelled by his patri
otism, aud .Mexican Wliiggcry, to enter tlieservicc.
Major Charles J. Williams, who served with ho
nor through the entire campaign with the Georgia
Regiment, has been chosen Solicitor of the Chatta
hoochee circuit, and Mr. Weems, the Solicitor of
tho Northern circuit, was a private iu thu same
Regiment. It is thus apparcut that the people
are resolved tar ward those wbo-have perilled their
lives for their coimtv. If they nrc thus regardful of
the Bops, what will they not do for "Old Zuc."—
Journal .j- Messenger, of Wednesday.
This is all very handsome, but tbo.Journal .& Mes
senger forgets or omits to add ono voiry important
fact, touching tho election of these Mexican .Whigs,
w hich wo will supply. The gcutlciucn mentioned
in tlio extract above, were all elected by the votes
of Democratic members—neither of them having,as
wo understand, scarcely- a corporal’s guard of
Whig votes, on any ballot. Verily, “if they are

at first supposed it to be, from tho returns which
had then been received. The New York Evening

stating in u late number of this paper that the elec

not, the elclcciiou fora Senator wiilnot take placo

Wm. M. Smyth, arrived on the 30th, with despatch

Scott. He proceeds to the capital in company with
Gen. Patterson's train.
Tite -Euglii-h courier arrived at Vera Cruz on the
31st ulL, bringing news from the city of Mexico to the
99th ult. Nothing very important has transpired in
the capital since the previous advices. Wo extract
the following items from the Vera Cruz Genius of Lib
erty, ofthc 1st inst:
Atlixco has been taken possession of by 1000 of our
forces. This large city has yielded without the least
resistance. Orizaba is, doubtless, by this time, also in
possession of the Amerioan forces.
The Mexican Government lias superceded Santa An
na in the com mand of the army. Gen. Rincon has been
appointed to that office. Santa Anna loudly protests
against tho violation of his rights as the First Magis
trate of the Nation, as lie styles himself, and refusing
obedience to the government, retires to Tchuacan.
Gen. Scott nnd staff have lately visited the city of
Guadaloupe.
Gen. Almonte reached Qucretaro on the 7th ult.
SI Mcxicano, an independent paper, has appenred
in the city of Mexico. The editors of the American
Star have commenced issuing its numbers daily.
A targe American train was to have left the city of
Mexico yesterday, (the 31st nit..) on its way down to
Vera Cruz. The escort for its protection is composed
of (our or five companies of infantry, a battery aud
some cavalry, under command of CoL Flamev. It may
be expected here by the 14th. A number of sick and
wounded officers will accompany it down. We look
forward to the period of its arrival with much plea
sure, inasmuch as we regard it as tlie herald of free
communication between the coast and the capital.
The capital is already teeming with hotels, taverns,
billiard rooms, cafes, and theatres—all advertised in
tho "American style.” Shades of Montezuma and
Guatimozin! yonr prophecies are being fulfilled—the
avengers of your wrongs are coming from the rising
sun. Some very severe shocks of earthquakes were
experienced in the capital.
From the Vera Cruz Genius we gather the following
interesting
Mexican Items.—Through the instrumentality of a
kind friend we are enabled to lay before ourreader* the
following particulars, gleaned from the American Star
both of which pnpers are publisliod in the City of
Mexico.
Capt. Philip Kearney, ofthc 1st Dragoons, is nbout
returning to the United States. In tho charge upon
the Garitn, he lost an arm.
The house of Col. Gonzales, a Mexican officer, wns
entered by order of Capt. McKinsby. of the Q_ M.
Deportment, and in it was fonnd a quantity of clothes,
ammunition, pistols, swords, drums, Ac., belonging to
the United States, which were taken awny.
From tlie Durango Journal of the 14th ult., b deriv
ed the information, that the American frigate Porta-
mouth arrived at Mazatlan on tlie 22d nit., from Mon
terey in California. The American squadron, con
sisting of tlio Congress, Dale, Cyane, aud a transport,
left Monterey on the 1st of September, for Mazatlan
and San Bias, and for those of Cuavmas and Aca-
pnleo.
The health of the army is far from being good. The
climate of the Valley of Mexico is not, as it appears,
congenial to the constitutions of the South. It b just
as enervating aud fatal to the southern, as is that of
\ era Cruz to the northern constitutions. The efiec-
five force of tlic entire army b reduced ten or fifteen
per cent.
Gen. Persifor S. Smith succeeds Gen. Quitnisa ax
governor of the city, Capt. Naylor (of Pa. Vols.) is gov-
ernor of the palace, and keeper of the archicvc*.
The weather in tho city is so cold that fires arc
quite acceptable, and cloaks in demand. Old Popo
catapctli has his wliito cap on. ,
Gen. Shields and Quitman will come down with the
train, on their way to the U. S. Capt. Davis and.
Lieut Kigcr will accompany them as aids.
Two elegant swords were presented to Captain B.
B. Anderson and Lieut. J. M. Alien, of Co. B, 14h In
fantry, by the nou-commbsioned officers and privates
of their corps.
Comp. H, New York regiment of Volunteers, have
presented swords to CapL A. W. Taylor and Lieut.
J, Griffin.
The city was filled with rumors of peace. Tt was
said that a quorum had met at Queretaro, and that the
majority decided in favor of an amicable adjustment
of difficulties.
The following further particulars of tho death of
Capt. VVnlkcr, are furnished by a friend:
Tlio engagement took place at Huamontta, a short
distar.ro South of Puebla. The force of tlio Mexicans
was reported at 9000—the number of American en
gaged b not known. CapL \V. received a lance
wound in the back, coming out at the upper part of
the stomach, and one leg shot off; ho however, killed
lib antagonist, a celebrated guerrilla chief, putting two
balls in him from liis revolver.
Affairs in tho city of Mexico were in aquictstatc-
The foUawingfrom the Genius of Liberty, of the 25th
nlL, contains the most important items we can gather
from the Vera Cruz papers:
From four French gentleman who left tho city of
Mexico on the 13tli, and Puebla on the 16tli of the
present month, we have, received intelligence of a
very important nature, concerning tho state of affairs
in those quarters.
General Lane having arrived at Perote, was there
joined by Capt. Walker and hb command; both ad
vanced together on the Fuebla road, rill they reached
the town of Vrcyes. At this place CapL Walker, liy
order of the Commanding General, took up his line
of march to Huamantla, byway of the towns of San
Francisco aud Guapaatla. On his arrivals at Hua-
mantta, a sanguinary engagement ensued in the
streets, between the force of CapL Walker, consisting
of two hundred and fifty men, and that oftlie Mexi
cans cumbering sixteen hundred. The results of
which was the total expulsion of the enemy from the
town, and its occupation by onr valiant little array,
which lost in the battle only six men. But tlie gallant
Walker after peiibrming prodigies of valor, and feats
ofthemost daring character, fell in tingle combat,
pierced by the spear of an enraged father, who goaded
to actual frenzy, by the death of liis son, whose fall
beneath the armofCspt. Walker he had just witness
ed, rushed forward, heedless of all danger, to revenge
his death, and attacking the Captain with almost ir-
roiistahle violence, plunged -his spear into his body
and slew him almost instantly.
Tho Mexicans lost two hundred men and three
pieces of artillery, the tatter were thrown into a gully
adjoining the town by die victors; who after tho
achievement of their object (the dispersion of the
enemy) for which they were despatched to Huamantla,
evacuated the place, and directed their course to
wards Pinal, on the Puebla road, which they reached
without any opposition, and there meeting with Gen.
Lane, the combined American force continued its
march upon Puebla. Into this city in a state of in
surrection it entered in platoons, delivering at every
step a constant and well directed fire of musketry,
which ceasod not till the cncnny retreated, and order
restored in every quarter.
Gen. Hca, of whom we heard so much lately, fled
with 400 guerillas towards Atlixco. Gen. Santa An.
na was, by last account* atTehuaesnde las Granada*
—having been deserted by all his followers with the
exception of 200.
Onr correspondent, writing at a later date than tho
25th ult, gives the following account of the death ot
Capt. Walker:—“The death of Captain \Valker is ful
ly, confirmed by a later arrival. It is stated that ho
was shot by a cannon ball from a masked battery,
about 12 miles from tho main mad, at R point some 16
leagues from Puebla. The ball also killed Capt. Loy- i

The Com market is of course sensibly influenced bv
the unparalleled stringency of the money market, nnd
shows a general decline, particularly in quotations for
inferior parcels. Indian Com has depreciated from 2s

and is in ' cry limited demand.
The above quotations represent the maxiinumprice,
but occasional forced sales have been made at con

The picture which the following calculations
(from Hunts Men limit's Magazine) present of the
prospective population mul destines of the United
States, is a nmgmfiennt nnd startling one. The
inostnrdent immagination must find i; difficult to
compass its grandeur and realize its truth. The
patriot will nsk, shall our country remain one gi"
gantic Republic, or be split up into a host of petty
warring States.
“in 1840, the United State* had a population of
17.068,660. Allowing its future increase to be at
the rale of33 13 per cent, for each succeeding
period of ten years, we shall number, in 1940,903,-
101 641. Past experience warrants us to expect
this increase In 1790, our number was 3.927,S27.
Supposing to have increased each decade ill the
rutin of 12 13 per cenL. it would, in 1840, linve
■mounted to IG,5G0,25G; being more tbau half n
million less than our actual number, ns shown by
the census. With 300.000.00(1, wo should have
less than 150 to the square iniio lor our organised
states and territories. England lius 300 to the
square miloL It does no!, then, seem probable
that our progressive increase will be materially
checked within the oue hundred years under con
sideration. At the end of that period Canada will
probably number at least 20,000,000. Ii we sup*
pose tire portion of our country cast aud west of
the Appalachian clinin of mountains, known ns tlie
Atlantic slope, to possess nt that time 40,000,000,
or near five times its present number, there will be
left 260,000,000, for tho great central region be
tween the Apahtcliinn and the Rocky mountains,
and between tho Gulf of Mexico and Canada, nud
for the country west of tho Rocky mountains. Al
lowing the Oregon Territory 10.000,000, therpwill
be left 250.00(^000 for that portion of the Ameri
can States, lying in the basins of the Mobile, Mis
sissippi and St. Lawrence. If to these we add
20,000 000 for Canada, we have 270,000.000 as
the probable number that will inhabit the North
