January and Santa Fe on the 3d Febru
ary—he saw nothing of Capt. Sublette,
and heard nothing of his wherabouts. He i
left Col. Doniphan in possession of Es
Passo waiting for the Artillery to arrive,
when he intended to move tor Chihuahua.
Noth ng was known in New Mexico of
the change in Gen. Wool’s position.
Mr. Caldwell learned from a reliable
source that they had declined putting
Mr. James Magoffin on trial for teason,
and that he was at large in Chihuahua.
The insurrectionists consisted of about
2000 men, and started for Santa Fe. Col.
Price sent out about 300 men to quell
them; they met about twenty-five miles
from Santa Fe, when an engagement took
place- the Mexicans drew up 2000 strong,
but at the first fire from our brave Mis
Four! hovs. 36 of them fell dead, and the
balance fled.
Capt. Morin, of Platte, who was in com
mand, pursued them through the Moro val
ley, and burned to ashes every house, town
ranchero in his path. The inhabitants tCd
to the mountains, where they are bound to
starve, as Morin leaves them nothing what
ever to subsist on— i just retribution fur their
assassination of innocent people.
As .Mr. Caldwell was passing out, he heard
at a distance, the sound ot artillery, and
learned from rumor in the edge of the settle
ment. that ihe American army had whipped
them worse than ever. Capt. IJendley, of
Ray county volunteers, was the only one
killed on our side, and some seven slightly
wounded
The so lowing adlbional items are from
a letter Irom Independence to the iSt. Louis
Union.
No doubt the city of Taos Is now in ashes,
as our Missouri boys had cau-ed the smoke
from iheir burning bouses to ascend from a
thousand hills; the inhabitants in the Moro
valley, men,women and children, had fled to
the mountains. Mr. Caldwell left Col. Doni
phan at El I’asso on the 12Ui of January
waiting for the artillery companies* (o arrive,
when he intended to march for Chihuahua.
He thinks that Doniphan, ere this, has taken
Chihuahua or has been taken himself. We
mav await with trembling anxiety a long l ime,
J fear, for the result of this hazardous expe
dition.

SUNDAY MORNING, APRIL 11, 1847.
o°Wo present to our readers a cut of |
, Buena Vista and the surrounding localities, j
Though small, it is one of the best of the I
. f
many we have seen, and is sufficiently full j
and definite. We had it prepared from flip
cut which ap eared in the Baltimore Sun,
whose accompanying statement we annex.
We also publish the graphic account of
the battle given by the correspondent of the
Tropic. But as it is thought that in it injus
tice is done the volunteers, to whom so large !
a portion of the glory of that brilliant action j
is due, we publish the comments of the Hi- 1
cayoue, on the statements of ‘ Buena Vista.”
Thf War—The Propped of Peace SI ill
Itsuioli—Our tiodc of Coududiiig the
War,
Under (bis caption, the Delta indulges
some sensible speculations as to the probabil- j
itics of an early termination of the war. It |
inclines to the opinion that the obstinacy
of the Mexican character, with the advan
tages which many of her citizens unques
tionably derive from the invasion,by the infu
sion of wealth among them,combine to make
a strong party opposed to peace on any
terms. That therefore, we may not expect
for a long time any adjustment of the dts
pute by treaty. In the meantime, what is to
be our policy? This question is reviewed,
and the hack, out policy ol Mr. Gilley— the air
line, armed occupation puliry of Mr. Calhoun
— and the indemnity or destruction—-''the Ko
ran or the sword'" policy of Mr. Denton, are
severally pronounced discreditable or im
practicable,
'l’he editor winds up by suggesting his
plan, which corresponds so much with our
own notions, that we fake occasion to pre
sent them for the consideration of our read- !
era.
We must except however, to that part j
which proposes to employ the Mexican army.
The only use we have for them is to whip
and disband them.
“Now, as everybody has his plan, we claim j
the right of stating ours, which, in truth, is
no p'an at ail, but only the general and old- i
fashioned course pursued by all nations since
mankind began to quarrel, to wit; to conquer
the enemy—to take possession of, and occu
py his whole country, and make the people
pay the expenses of the provisional govern
ment established by ns. This, in our mind,
is the cheapest and most practicable mode of
concluding this war. Let our army march
to the city of Mexico—take possession of the
Government —swear in the people, as Gen.
Kearny did at Santa Pe—appoint Mexicans
to office—employ their whole army, giving
them good pay and provender, in our service
send Santa Anna, Ampudia, and some
dozen other intriguantes , out of the country
open their ports on fair and liberal terms —
encourage their commerce—protect their re
ligion, and save them from robbery, pidage
and oppression. Let these things be done,
and our arms will have conquered a glorious
peace—a peace which will not only repay all ;
the expenses and losses of the war, b't which
will add to the fame of the Republic, the tryn- j
prendant glory of having raised a prostrate
foe from the deepest depression and misery,
relieved all his wants, improved his condition,
enlarged the circle ol his enjoy men's and com
forts, and diffused 1 gh’,knowledge and happi- |
ness throughout ibis long alike.ed and be
nighted land.”

Whig Predictions of Ruin.
The following from the New Haven Pal
ladium, of
a smile at the expense of the whole whig
college of prophets. There is a peculiar
dogmatism in the style of these predictions j
that throws them out in bold relief, and gives i
them an air of grotesque absurdity. There
is none of the ambiguity of the Pythoness in :
them, nor are they enveloped in any of that
political imagery usually thrown around in
spiration They are point blank declarations
of coming events. We present them as rare
specimens of the art of divination.
Ist. Within six month t from July I, 1816, labor
will he reduced from 15 to 25 per cent —this will
be a great depress! m of labor!
2d. By first of Ma ch 1817, one half of th'* small
factories*, especially of iron and woollen, will stop
ope ratios!!
31. 'l'he products of agriculture will 6° materially
reduced for the w ml. of a home market! ! and on
account of the reduction ol competition m the price
of labor!
4th. The hank« will, in self-defence, lie com
pelled to curtail their circulation materially!!
Sili. Within one year government credit will
not be above par and more likely much below!
f»th. In nine months, exchange on England icill
he TEN PER CENT ADVANCE!!!
It would be worse Ilian idle to waste words
in dwelling one by one, on each of the above
predictions, and pointing out, their signal
failure. Their refutation is before the world.
In every particular, the reverse of the predic
tions have been realiz’d. We publish them
now not to write an article upon them, but
as practical' commentaries upon the piles of
Congressional speeches, and whig editorials
by file vard, which if measured, would run
out many hundreds of niiies, to prove the in
estimable blessings of protective tariff's and
restrictions on commerce, and the dif.e curse
of a fair revenue tariff adjusted on free trade
principles. Wb-tt an eloquent rebuke to the
rapacity of monopolists—to the arrogant as
sumptions of whig politicians calling them
selves political economists and statesmen —
what a spectacle do they recall of the mad
dening excitement of party, which in ISep
tember last, in the heat of political discus- 1
sion,could conjure up such fanciful pictures j
of ruin and desolation to affright the timid ;
and to gull the weak.
The evils predicted were to result from :
the tariff of 1846. the sub-treasury and ware
house bills passed by the democratic party.
The actual results of those measures are be
fore the world. The whigs would have pur
sued exactly the antagonist policy in every
particular. It would be as fair to reason,
with exac ly opposite results. We will not
however, assume so ultra a position, as wp
are not prone to raise the cry of Ruin! Ruin!!
except on the most extreme provocation.
But we put the inquiry to the candid mind—
j which have proved the wisest legislators, the
i whigs or the dem »crals? The Utter, never
' undertake to rival the whigs in prophecy,
hut are content to prove their faith by their
works.
Trtcsrnphic Line Ihiorgh Aognst:i,
The Agent lor the conternp aied .Magnetic
Telegraph route from New Vork City to New
Orleans, is in our city, for the purpose of
procuring subscriptions to the Stock.
We have heretofore spoken of the advan- j
(ages to our city of this line passing through
Augusta. As it is not determined that we i
are to have this benefit, and as it may be so- j
cured by our citizens subscribing to a pre- ;
scribed'amount of Stock, we hope that it
will be done. We have no doubt that it will
be a profitable investment.

some thousand men, regulars and of the

leans to join Gen. Taylor and strengthen
the line of posts along the Rio Grande, j
That officer, with as little delay as pos
sible, will then advance on to Saltillo.

city of Mexico, will form a junction with 1
Gen.Tavlor’s division. Thus,in full force. '
-
they will march on to attack the city of
Mexico, if the Mexicans should he so in
fatuated as, in the interim, not to offer or
accept the terms ot an honorable peace.
o*Mr. Haile the correspondent of the Pi
cayune, gives the following account of the
death of the late Major John R. Vinton:
Soon after our batteries opened,Capt. Vin
ton. with Maj Scott, stepped out to a rather
exposed position to witness ti e effect of our
shells. “Major,” remarked Capt V,, with
enthusiasm, “as you pass the mortars pleese
tell the officers that the shells are doing their
<lu»v accurately,” and lie soon started and
followed, halting an instant to speak to ('apt. '
Blanchard and Lieut. Nicholls, (the Phoenix j
company, with a portion of the sth Infantry,
under Major Scott, were in the entrenchments j
as a supporting party ) and just as he had re- I
guinea his position an 8-inch shell passed |
through the parapet, without exploding, and
lot him on the back of the head, and he fell
dead upon hi.* hack, with his arms crossed
upon his breast. Thus fell as gallant and
accomplished an officer and gentleman as
the army cjmld boast of. I happened to be
present last evening when Gen. Worth in
formed him that be bad him detailed for this
post of honor, and witnessed the pleasing
emotions with which he received this mark
of confidence from the brave officer whom be
so much admired; and was again pre-ent this
evening when ifie sad news of bis death
reached Gen. Worth, who, deeply affected,
soon after ordered his horse and visited the
entrenchments.

CHARLESTON, April 10.— Colton —When
we closed our inquiries on Thursday last —for it
will he recollected onr publication was anticipa
ted a day—a fair business bad been done at ad
vanced prices, and we changed our quotations lo
correspond with thi-fimprovement. On Friday the
mirket opened with much firmness on the p rt ot
holders, and near 1290 bales were sold at the full
rates given that morning. There was al o a good
demand for the article on Saturday, hut the strin
gency in the terms demanded checked the desire
to operate, and buyers during the day limited
their operations to 6)0 bales. On Monday and
Tuesday the market was almost deserted by pur
chasers, as the transactions on the former day did
not exceed In ) hales, and on the latter they were
i confined to 389 bales; there were those, however,
i who being anxious to realize to a certain extent,
met buyers on Wednesday ut a slight concession,
and during the day near 1909 hales were sold on
somewhat easier terms, hut tney found it extreme
ly difficult to go on at similar prices on Thursday,
and wi.hdr-lv af.cr having taken about 400 bales.
Yesterday a good demand prevailed, the sale*
reached near 24 0 hales, the market became set
tled, v\ hicli had not been the case for several days
previous to this date; and the quotations given in
our report of the- 2<! inst. were fully sustained, and
we Would again ref r to lln-m for the true index
