Among the passengers on ihe Fashion •on her last trip from Vera Cruz, was Lt. Shaw, late of the U. S.

Shaw is returning home under a complimentary leave of absence, extended, we are told, by the Secretary of the Navy to oil the commanders in that flotilla, in considera tion of their tried and faithful services.— Novcsscl was more active in that service than the little Petrel, and her gallant commander will be warmly welcomed home to Pennsylvania, his native Slate. From Northern Mexico and California. Last evening vve Lad the pleasure of a conversation with Mr. Sloizel, a German 1 gentleman, who has been some time re siding as a trader at Durango. lie left that city in the latter pail of April, taking I tie route be £arras, Saltillo and the Rio Grande. Anxious to know how well in formed Mr. Kendall was of the disposition of tiie people of Northern Mexico to de tach themselves from the Central Govern eminent, we have made inquiries of Mr. I Sloizel on the subject, and ho informs us that the States of Durango, Zacatecas and San Luis, though reluctant to invite our arms into their territory, still when there, our armies will he received as friends. There is, be says, a perfect in difference as lo whether the States are governed by Mexicans or Americans.— In fact, he inclines to tiie opinion that they would prefer the Americans should rule. Previous to leaving Durango, Mr. Smi zel visited California, and left Mazatlan • on the morning of the G:h of April, much Ihe latest dates vve have had from that j quarter. When he left, the Americans were in quiet possession of all the conquer ed territory and the coast was closely blockaded. Mr. Stoizel heard nothing in his travels later from Col. Doniphan than has been ■ already learned through the papers of i Mexico. From gentlemen of the army | we learn that he has been ordered to join Gen. Taylor, and there was a report at ■ Saltillo that he had been cut ofl on his j march from Chihuahua, hut however the j report came, not the slightest credit was alt ached to it. Later from the IJrazo- . The schooner Highland, Capt. Baker, ar rived yesterday evening from the Brazos ; Santigo, whence she sailed on the 14th inst. ; We have a copy of tiie Matainoros i Jag of the 12th, but no letters by this arrival Gen. Cushing is doing very well. It was liis right leg which was broken, not his left, 'ihe Flag think he will shortly he aide to at tend to his various duties. He treats his in jury as very slight. The general was to have pronounced an oration at .Matainoros Oh Ihe oeea.ion of a cTobral ion in honor of the , victories of the Bth and oth May. His acci dent prevented the celebration. A clerk in ihe employment of Capt. Sin clair was dangerously slabbed on the i1 iR inst, by a Massachusetts volunteer, tor refu sing the latter a glass of rum. 'ihe Dag says there has been some difficulty in the i Massuchusctt? regiment, growing out of the j endeavors of the officers to put an en 1 to in temperance among the men, bui ah was quiet on Iho 12ili. Reports are in circulation at ISlatamoros that sumo influential Mexicans al \ ictoria ■ ate cio>aged in a project lo proclaim the ola.e : of TamJ i uUpas independent ot the Mexican Coutedeiacy. A leading Mexican is said lo j have arrived in Matainoros with a view to i learn what co-operation he could obtain from ihe commandant of that port. He requires men, money and arms. The Flag thinks his ; overtures will not be listened to. i The Fag says that considerable parties of i Indians have been seen at different times j w.thin the last few days, only a few- miles | from Matainoros. The editors had been in | formed three Mexicans and one American, who had been collecting together some mules } on the Texas side of the river opposite Mata moros, were found killed with arrows. A party went out to bury the bodies. A gen llen an who came down tiie river on the 11th on the steamer Warren, reported that Mexi cans were deserting their n on ihe 1 river, and at several places where the boat i stooped Lo wood the Indians had been depre ■ dating upon the horses and cattle of the ran ; cia-ros, and in two instances had committed 1 murders. The road between Point Label ; and Fort Brown is considered unsafe, and 1 the editors cl the Flugcautien persons travel ling it to lie on their guard. ; The Rio Grande is so low that b >a f s of the highest draught cannot get to Gomargo. No ! ve-seis have iaieiy Wen above the new depot i and but two or three so high up. Reynosa is about a= far as boats can a-scend -with any success, and the F ag says there is a design of establishing a depot there. The Flag learns from the Tamanlipas De fensor that*one hundred and fi?t\' of our in faulr\’. with one field piece, were lying off the town of Seta la Marina on the 24th nil., and that one hundred cavalry, with a 12-poundor, reached to town of Magisca’zin on the 17th nit., hut had received orders to countermarch lo Tampico. The Raisin' Os dal, published in Duran go, repels me charge* that tiie inhabitants of that Slate arc friendly disposed towards lire j Yankees, hut speaks in no respectful terms ; of the Sovereign Congress, which, it says, I witlidokls their arms and leaves them expos i ed lo the ravages of the Indians. “Tne JSov i creign Congress,’’ further adds the same pa ■ pers, “taxes without number the Durangue : nos to pamper tiie corruption and vices o 1 ! tire | Cybarites who calumniate” them. i The editor of the Defjn.sor tie Tamaulijias thinks the analogy between the two Sates so ' r: - 1 very strickmg that he publishes the article j above alluded to. A Mexican woman who was washing at | the lake in Matainoros was lately accidentally | killed by a Massachusetts volunteer, who was j at the tune shooting fowl. The woman was ! fully four hundred yards distant from him : when he discharged his musket. The bail i skipped upon the water and hit tiie woman. The report has reached Matainoros that i the troops encamped at Palo Alto are to be sent lo Vera Graz. The F.ag cannot credit it. From Yucatan. By the way of H ivaua from Meri- Jda have been received to the 10th of April.— j The picture given of the politics of the pen insular is by no means satisfactory or very intelligible, but vve append all the Havana pa pers tell xts- The provisional Governor had issued a de cree declaring in full vigor a prior decree ul the 1 Uii January, issued at the village of Ticul, which established the blockade ot Si sal and the whole coast from Descouocida to Ydlajau. Another decree had been published com manding the militia who took part in the j>ru~ nunciarnento ut the 28 ; ;h ol February, lo be disarmed; depriving of their employment all office-holders engaged in that affair who should la.il to submit lo the present Govern mqat( within twenty days, and banishing strangers involved m the same attempt. Another decree declares that the those members of the permanent militia who pro nounced the 21-l February in the vicinity of the town of i'erote, shall be punished, and moreover, that in those towns which do not submit to the present Government, all indi viduals whose property is less than 8300, j pay a personal contribution of two reals— I those whose properly exceeds that amount, j shall pay tour reals. The troops sent to take the capital mot ; with a stout resistance, the pronanciados hav ing refused to lay down their arms. On the SOilt March, a division of 300 men with two pieces of artillery, inarched from Merida to preserve order in the district of Tizirnin, where on the 24ih some outrages | had teen perpetrated, and guns fired into the most respectable houses. If there be anything more preposterous than the squabbles of these Yucaiecus among themselves, vve are in error. It is next to impossible to say what party is in power al any lime; and even if you can learn that fact, in the lapse of another month is quite sure to thrown everything into confusion again. From £8 avail a. The brig Salvadora, Capt. Booke, arrived yesterday _ from Havana, having sailed on Saturday, the Bth inst. The Spanish frigate Cristina had just ar rived in Havana from Vera Cruz after a long passage. Three or four merchant vessels had also arrived from the same poit, but none of them brought so late accounts as had been received in Havana from this port by the St. Mary, P. Soule and bark Catharine. The papers give very full accounts of the battle of Cerro Gordo from the Picayune extra and the American Eagle of Vera Cruz. The 1 news of the taking of Tuspan was received j direct from that port by the Spanish schooner ! Sofia. The English brig Achiever, Capt. Jas. Johnson, from Liverpool bound lo Havana, i with irotn an hardware, was wrecked on the reefs ol Punat Genado on the 19i.h of April. | No lives were lost. The Spanish war steamers Congress and ! Bazin entered the port of Santiago de Cuba i on the 23d April. The French steamer Ton nerre arrived al tire same port on the 22d, i from St. Thomas. On the 24th the royal j steamer Clyde arrived there a week after i.er lime. She went to sea again within an hour. The English corvette Nova Scotia, which sailed from Cienfuegos on the 1 Sih April for New foundiand, was wre< l:ed on the 20th on hos Jardines. southwest of the Isle ol Pines. The captain an crew saved nothing from the cfiip. but took to the be ats. They arrived on the 26;!i at. Cape San Antonio, and there taking a pi Sul they reached Havana c« ihe 3th inst.

Hull Storm. The Milledgeville Recorder of the 25th inst says: We have never, so far as we remember 9 heard of such extensive injury by hail storms as has recently occurred in this State. Great des truction from this cause his been done in this county, in Jones, W ashington, Bib!). Morgan, Putnam. Doulv Clark, Cobb, in the counties bordering Florida, as w ell as in in inv other places. Alabama, too, we perceive from the papers of tlnp State, lias likewise suffered in the same way.— lids misadventure, added to the injury to the j crop, especially cotton, from the cold and unsea' so liable weather, will have the effect of diminish ing the yield ofthe year. To what extent, will ol course, greatly depend on the seasons hereaf ter. Georgia Volunteers. Caps. Djyal, with his company' of mount ed men, from Newton county, passed through Griffin on Thursday last, on their way lu Columbus, the place of rendezvous. The Muscogee Democrat, of the 20th, say's that a new company, called ‘'Georgia Greys,” has been raised in Columbus, who have elected as their officers, Win. N. Nel son, Capt., A. 11. Hunt, Ist Iff., and F. A. Cairns and J. L. Clay, 2d Lfeuts. The same journal says, that efforts are being made by David J. Barker, Esq., and Maj. G. W, Mar tin, to raise still another company, to be de nominated the “Muscogee Blues.” These two companies, with the one from Cass al ready received, and the two companies from Baker and Harris which we understand will be completed, fill up the compliment required by the requisition of the War Department. Another .Steamboat Lost. The Moutgo n tv (Ala ) Flag, 22d instant says—The Union, Caps. Kinney was lost near Twenty-seven Mile Bluff, having struck a snag. »Sbo was bound tip the river from Mobile, and bad, besides oilier valuable i freight, the engines for the Tuscaloosa Manufacturing Company. The boat is in : deep water, and, it is feared, will prove a : total loss. Heeds of Personal Valor at C’erro Gordo. The Jalapa Star ofthe 2d inst., records the j following: Capt. K. B. Alexander, who commanded the gallant 3d Infantry, did much to inspire his men. One of his sergeants fell wounded ! in the charge. The captain, not wishing to j see an idle musket in tiie command, sheathed ; his sword, and picked up the shooting iron of the sergeant, went to work with good will and continued to fire as fast as he could load, and with great effect, until one of his men came tip and begged for the gun, saying that his own was out of order, lie handed it to him. and then drawing his revolver, fired, and shot down two of the enemy, and wounded one witli each of the other barrels. The pis* ■ 10l being useless then was belted, and the sa bre drawn, which in has unerring hand, se verely wounded an enemy upon the head. D. C. Buell, adjutant of the third— the man who, Gen. Twiggs say s, knowns not what fears is—cut down two men with hi. s sabre. His conduct at Monterey, would pre- I pare us fur any feat of daring performed by 1 him. Lieut E. Van Dim, 7lh Infantry, aid-de camp to Col. Harney, on lue 1 <tli, cut two men down with hia sabre. Lieut. B. E. Bee was wounded in the thumb by a bayonet, but succeeded in culling the man down with his sword. Gen. Taylor’s Politics. We find the following letter from the Hon. S. Cameron, of the United Elates Senate, in the Harrisburg (Pa.) Union. That paper save, “It has proved quite a damper to the Taylor Whigs,” and adds, “we predict, bc- I fore a twelve-month passes, that these fede ral admirers of Gen. Taylor, will denounce him as a vile locofoca —a man in whose prin ciples they have been deceived.” “Middletown, April 25 ; 1 847. “Dear Sir—Your paper of last week was handed me this morning, and reminds mo of a promise to put in writing what 1 said to you the otiier day in regard to Gen. Taylor. “I have several acquaintances who know the old General well, and I met, since the battle of Buena Vista, one, a distinguished j citizen of Kentucky, who lived beside him : for many years. This gentleman was re i cently the Democratic candidate for a high | office. He says, that Gen. Taylor has been a Democrat all his life; and this agrees with all my information on the subject. His fath er was one of the Electors who gave the vole of Virginia to Mr. Jefferson. He was the personal and political friend of Gen. Jackson, and the firm gupporter of his Administration i and measures. In 1808, he was stationed in [ 1 this place on the recruiting service, and he j 2 is still remembered by some of our citizens, . who speak of him with pleasure, and say, that s he was then a supporter of Simon Snyder. — i He entered the army in early life, and has - never been a politician —nor has he ever had - any connection with the machinery of party, or with wire-working politicians —but lie has c always kept up an acquaintance with tiie leading measures of the day, and his enquir ing mind is stored with a thorough knowl edge of the whole system o( our government. No man has a greater reverence for the wilt of the people,and none have shown a greater , desire to elevate and sustain humble men ol ... intellect and merit. “If I have not, mv dear sir, said enough to convince you that General Taylor is a good Democrat, ofthe Jeffersonian, Snyder, Jack , son school, 1 shall bo glad lu hear what will make a Democrat. ‘ Sincerely your friend, v ‘SIVi ON CA M ERON. “Col.

It must bo pleasing to every member of the Democratic party, lu w itness the genera! harmony of spirit which prevails in every section ofthe {state, upon thesubject of nominations. We have heard of no predjuJices—no rival claims to popular suffrage—interfering with the great ob jects ofthe parly, tbe success of its principles and measures. Individual pretentions are forgotten j in the determination of restoring, during the | present crisis ofthe confederacy, a Democratic administration to Georgia. The attainment of | such an object, we all leel to be of vital impor tance. We have seen our federal government j slandered by the reckless party opposed to us, i upon the subject ofthe war. We have seen that I slander welcomed in that portion ot the European i press inimical to our institutions, and upon the j strength of it, a large portion ofthe civilized world has joined in a crusade against our government. | Even Mexico has l iken the siander for truth, : and believes that the Whigs will effect a revolu i tion in our government, against a war so odious. It is necessary that we give this “aid and com fort’ its quietus. It has already done the coun try sufficient injury, and it is time to convince the whigs that their condemnation of the war. is not 1 more reprehensible than their effort to appropriate tn themselves the advantages ofi'isglory. Besides j then F another matter in w Inch Georgia, in common with the olher states,is interested. The j whigs have proclaimed that they will take no I Mexicitn territory as indemnity f.»r the exposes of<he war. As Mexico has no money to give, this is equivalent to the relinquishment of tlio most important rights. Georgia will have a word to savin this matter tlirongn her Senators in Congress. We believe she will speak as she did upon the Texas question. When we reflect upon these matters and upon the tact that all thy gre it interests of the country have reached a degree of prosperity under present Democratic system, unequalled in onr history, it is no longer surprising that every Democrat is determined that the party shall sue ‘ ceed. On the contrary, it would he surprising it’ a single member could be found who. with all the momentous issues Indore him, should feel indiffer ent about the r sift. All that we want are the candidates. Let them he, thev doubtless will, jndicii»u>ly chosen. and the jieople will he loiin 1 rough and ready enough to fleet them.

Yet, w hile the shoe-filler, dress-ma ker, and milliner, are engaged in adorning “na ure’s best gift to man,” one part appears almost totally neglected—THE HAUL How frequently do the ravages of disease lay waste the form of the ; fair and beautiful; and though restored again to ; health, yet those flowing locks which once adorn , ed their heads, fall oil’ and never again return to their original beauty.
