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. • wjf jsm.win ■ —n———ca—a——x—— AUGUSTA UHL -—— i 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.” tonurettfuh All the towns in this State but nine have been heard from, and the vote stands, for Governor, BissHl, (whig) 28,005; Whittle sey, (dem ) 25.280; Scattering, 1,639. The whigs have elected 13 Senators, and the de mocrats 8. IEJjo House,so far as heard from, Blands lOaflßs 73 democrats,—no choice 45. candidates for Congress are cbosenv' 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. I'utnif Operation* of .lie Army. The New Orleans Delta learns, ••from an authentic source,” tlial there are now some thousand men, regulars and of the new lew, now on their way to New Or 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. Scott, in the meantime, with the i least possible delay, after garrisoning i Vera Cruz, will march his division on to capital. lie may meet with some ob struction in his way, but nothing of a ser. * ions character, and before reaching the ! 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 IMPORTS, APRIL 10. Barcelona —Bark Numa—74 hhds. Molasses, and 123 and i thousand Segara, to 31. C.

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.
