[From our Correspondent .] DAILY PICAYUNE-EXTRA, ) New Orleans, June 14 —12 M. > Arrival of tiie Steamship Telegraph. From the Army of Gen. Scott. The steamship Telegraph, Capt. Anld, arrived Sunday evening, having left Vera Cruz ou the 4th hist., Tampico on the 7lf> and Brazos Santiago on the 9ih inst. The Telegraph brought over a num ber of passengers, officers of the Ohio, Indiana and Mississippi Regiments, and about 500 volunteers and teamsters. The Telegraph’s news from Vera Cruz is not so late as the Fanny’s, but we have received by her a letter from Mr. Kendall not without interest, though not so late as we have published from him. Jalapa, Mexico, May 22, 1847. There is nothing new of importance to communicate, although after my.hurried postscript to the letter 1 wrote:>yesterday additional particulars in relation to Gen. Worth’s movements were received. It seems that the affair with Santa Anna’s lancers look place at Amosoque, a small place about three leagues this side of Puebla. The number of the ene my was variously estimated at from 1500 to 2000. They charged up within can non range with great apparent resolution, so much so that a regular movement was made to receive them; but the three first discharges of our artillery set them all scampering off as fast as their animals would carry them, leaving ten men and seven horses dead on the field. What a pity we have not a caval rv force sufficient to attach a command to each division of the armv. Col. Harney has been compelled to remain here with the 2d Dragoons up to this time, to give the horses rest; had he been at Amosoque with only 500 men, a great many of the 2000 Mexicans would not have answered to the their next roll-call. The belter classes at Puebla appear to be well enough disposed towards the Americans, although they perhaps do not altogether like the idea that a force of 3000 men should enter a city of near 100,000 souls and without resistance,— The lower orders—the ladrones and Je peros with which Puebla abounds—are evidently but ill-disposed towards us.— One of Gen. Worth’s men has already been assassinated, but fortunately the murderers were immediately arrested.— On the alcade’s telling Gen. Worth that according to their laws, a year and a half would elapse before the case of the as sassins could be settled in the courts of Puebla, he was informed that an Ameri can trial would render them full justice in a day and a half! The miscreants are now where they never will commit another murder. It is said that supplies of all kinds can be readily obtained at Puebla. The wheat crop has just ripened and is most abundant. The news now is that the Mexicans have abandoned the idea of fortifying at the Rio Frio, but intend constructing a line of works at El Penol, a position about nine miles this side of the city of Mexico. Perhaps they only intend this as a show of resistance, for the sake of saving their credit; again, they may hope to raise men enough to give a regular battle to the Americans. They can collect noth ing, however, but an undisciplined rabble, and these our regulars can disperse like chaff. The more they have to contend with of this class the better—the quicker a panic can be created among them. Santa Anna, after the dispersion of his cavarly, did not stop even at San Martin or Rio Ft io, but kept on with all speed to the city of Mexico. Our know ledge of the state affairs at the capital, since Santa Anna’s arrival, is limited, but it was currently reported at Puebla on Wednesday last, that on the previous day the two parties—the Polkas and the Paros —were fighting like cats and dogs. Some new revolution has without doubt broken out, but the leaders at present are unknown. Gen. Scott’s last proclamation has been generally circulated at Puebla, and it is said with most excellent effect. No less than three editions of it had been print ed, and still the inhabitants were call ing for more. The demand for it alone would show that its effects have been salu tary. The numberless horde of military drones, and all the employees and han gers-on of the Government, are douhless doing all they can to put down its circu lation and deaden its influence upon the masses; but they cannot keep it out of the hands of the middle and Letter class of citizens, the laborious and thinking arti sans, nor prevent them from perusing and pondering upon its contents. In a tetter I sent you yesterday by the diligencia, I believe that I stated that Gen. Valencia was coming out with 14,- 000 men to meet the Americans. The report is, that of this number 4000 are Pintos, or Indians of the South, under Gen. Alvarez. They are called Pintos from the fact that after they come to man hood their faces, from some cause or other which I have not heard explained, be come spotted—yellow and red. They are of little account as soldiers, and it is probale that Valencia’s men, if he has the number given him by rumor, are nothing but raw recruits. If they stop to be fired at once they will not do it a second lime. There is much speculation in the army as to what is to be the result—as to what is to be the winding up of this war with Mexico. I can see no other result than the subjugation of the country entirely,—or at least in bringing it under the protection of ihe United States. As a nation Mexico is blotted out of the list—the candle of her independence is burnt down to the socket. If left to herself she would in a few months, from her utter inability to govern herself, be torn and divided by intestine commotions. No proteciion whatever could be given either to life or properly, there ate no men in the country who could make headway against the torrent of abuses that would at once creep into every department, there is no money or means with which to establish a new and stable government. What then is she to do? This is a question for wise heads to answer. Too utterly helpless to he left to herself, I repeat that the better plan would be to take her at once under onr protection. Let some honest and well meaning man—there may be a few of them left—lei some one of them be chosen or selected as Piesident, and give him the as-Ttance of a few thousand men to keep down revolutions, and awe the hungry horde of leeches, who have so long preyed upon the country. 11 they raised a grilo or pronunciamento, put them down by the bayonet —pronunciamenlos would soon become unfashionable if the precious bio >d of tho>e who started litem was brought in jeopardy. Give but one of their revolutions a tragicturn—they have been costly farces heretofore—and the people would soon become sick ot them. These remarks have been hastily thrown together, but they may possibly he as good as anv speculations that can ho offered. He who thinks that a lasting and beneficial peace can be made with Mexico, or believes that the Anerican troops are soon to he withdrawn, is some one who has not been over the country — he starts in his belie! from false premises, and judges a race of people by the ordi nary rules which govern human nature, while it is notoriously a fact that they have long since thrown all ordinary rules at defiance. The Chinese, when they painted hideous faces upon their walls to frighten off'the English invaders, were not a whit behind these people when they gel up their tremendous proclamations, and Matter themselves into the belief that what thev say in them is all true, —that they really are a great people, and able to contend with those whom they profess to despise. Yours, Ac. G. W. K. From the Army of Gen. Taylor. From the Brazos, by the arrival of the Telegraph, onr news is later. From the Flag of the 7th insf, we learn that Col. Doniphan, with a portion of his command, passed down the Rio Grande on the sth insl. The Flag thus speaks of them. The unshorn beards and goat and deer skin clothes of many of them remind ed us of descriptions we have read of the inhabitants of some of the countries of the Russian empire. They slopped in town a couple of hours. Col. Doniphan is a stout, rough featured, good-natured look ing sort of a man. He brought along with him Clark’s battery, and ten pieces of cannon captured at Sacramento. The sick, Ac., forty or fifty wagons, with several bundled mules, were turned over to the quartermaster. A private belonging to this command fell off the steamboat on the 4th inst. and was drowned. Capt. Garland’s company of Rangers has been dismissed at Maiamoros, some difficulty about mustering them into the service having occurred. The vol uniters are returning from Gen. Taylor with great rapidity. Ere this he is left without any of the volunteers who fought under him at Buena Vista. The letter we give below from our special cor respondent contains the latest information as to the probable movements of Gen. Taylor. The Massachusetts volunteer put in prison for killing a man who refused him whisky, has made his escape. One of his companions has killed a woman in Matamoros for the same offence. The Flag loudly denounces these ou rages. A private in the Ist Indiana Regiment is also denounced for a brutal assault upon a Mr. Slip, an aged French silver smith, with whom he had a slight difficul ty. Brig. Gen. Hopping has arrived in Matamoros, and occupies Gen. Cushing’s former quarters there. By Lieut. Tidball, of the 3d Ohio Re gimeni, the editors of the Flag learn that a short time since a party of about one hundred Carnanches, in all the panoply of war, came suddenly across a small parly of volunteers, who were chopping wood in the neighborhood of Parras. In stead of a fight, as was naturally expect ed, the Indians gave tokens of peace, and stated that the game they were after were Mexicans. They partially escorted the volunteers into town, to whom they seem ed much attached. Lieut. P. is on his way home. [Special Correspondence of the Picayune.] Saltillo, Mexico, May 21, 1847. A short time after my last letter closed, the town was thrown into a fever of ex citement by the arrival at Gen. Wool’s camp of two Mexican officers from San Luis Potosi, charged with despatches for Gen. Taylor. They professed to be ig norant of their contents, but to believe that they had come from the city of Mexi co and contained the intelligence that an armistice had been granted, and that ne gotiations for oeace were under discus sion between Gen. Scotland Santa Anna, Extactic was the joy of many who are ‘ in for the war’’ and pine for the day when they shall rejoin their friends and fami lies. The despatches were immediately forwarded to Gen. Taylor by Lieut. Franklin, and the Mexican officers treat ed with the most marked courtesy by our officers at this post. They professed ig noranceof the character of the despatches, but believed that the above was their purport. Singular to say, this idea was generally believed; for myself, I have so little confidence in anything Mexican that 1 believed it to he a paper from the De partment of San Luis—a remonstrance against the advance of Gen. Taylor, or something ol that character. Private let ters received from San Luis by citizens here, brought by the Mexican officers, announced that the inhabitants were in a state of excitement from the expected ap proach of our army from this quarter, which was looked tor the 28ih hist. The despatches arrived here on Tuesday and were immediately forwarded, and lhe protracted absence of the boater, Lieut. Franklin, tended to excite the curiosity felt to be apprised of their contents. — About 1 o’clock to-day he returned, and lo! the bubble burst! The impoitaat despatch was a communication from the Governor of San Luis Poiosi, announc ini; that he had heard of the intended ap proach of the American army, and beg ging to inquire w hether it was the inten tion of the commanding general to con duct the war according to the usages of civilized nations, or according to the man ner adopted by the Camanches. What reply Gen. Taylor will make to a ques tion and communication ot so insulting a character 1 cannot say, hut I am told his usually even temper was considerably rufHed upon reading it, and he is said to have remarked that he should ihink the Mexicans had become pretty well ac quainted with our manner of conducing war before this. If they have not, it is certainly not his fault, for he has tried hard enough to heat it into them. There is no doubt that we shall march upon San Luis at a very early period, as soon as a sufficient number of troops arrive from below, and from S.m Luis to the city of Mexico. A communication received from Gen. Scott by Gen. Taylor a few days ago, giving a briet account of the battle O'* O near Jalapa directs Gen. T. to move at once, or as early as possible, from San Luis, where he expected the letter would reach him, to the city of Mexico, So that Gen. Taylor will not probably remain any lime at San Luis, unless he receives orders there, but leaving a garrison for the place, will proceed with the residue of his command to the city of Mexico.— The command will probably never re. trace its steps this way, as there will he no occasion for it. I have therefore, a fair prospect of “revelling in the halls of the Montezurnas,” as well as some other peo ple, and if I live through the campaign and return via Vera Ciuz, I shall have seen quite as much of the country as I care about. As soon as my health will permit my going lo Monterey, I shall ap prise you more in detail of the plan of operations, number of troops to be taken and all other particulars likely to be in leresliag. Important from the City of Mexico. VVe have received, by the way of Tam plco, our files from the capital as late as the 29th of May. This is a week later than the papers received last week by the Oregon, and full as late as the private ad vices from the capital. Santa Anna’s letter of resignation, which we gave on Friday last, is publish ed in the papers of the 29ih nil., but vve know nothing of the action taken by Con gress on the subject. We find also a long manifesto addressed lo the nation by him a few days earlier, which vve have not time lo translate before the mail goes, if it be worth a translation. In the city of Mexico everything is manifestly in a stale of confusion and al most unlicensed anarchy. Gen, Bravo has resigned not only his command of general-in-chief, but also his commission of general of division. Gen. Rincon is said to have done the same thing. More of the causes in our next. It is true that Gen. Almonte is under arrest, though the causes of imprisonment are not avowed. He is confined in San tiago Tlaltelolco. The death of Gen. Scott was for seve ral days reported in the city of Mexico, and generally credited. The error was discovered, however, prior to the latest dates. Gen. Ampudia has been directed to await further orders at Cuernavaca.— What suspicious thing he has done or contemplated we are not informed. Gen. Valencia and Gen. Salas were ordered to leave the city of Mexico on the 24th ult., for the city of San Luis Po tosi, to take command of the army of the North. The accounts we find in the Mexican papers of the disaffection in Zacatecas confirm those we published a few days since. The official paper of the State publishes wrong representations made against Santa Anna and in favor of the Americans —Gen. Scott’s manifesto a mong the latter. This latter document is also given in all the papers of the capi tal. Gen. Arista has refused to re-assume his military functions until his conduct should be investigated by a military tri bunal. He demands that his trial may take place at once, in order that he may take part in the defence of the country. The Legislature ot Durango voted tor Senor D- Francisco Eiloriaga for Presi dent. Upon the first ballot Eiloriaga re ceived six votes, Santa Anna four, Her rera one, Pedraza one, and Angel Trias one. Upon the second ballot, Eiloriaga received eight voles and Santa Anna six. Eiloriaga was the former Governor of the State, and it will be recollected ran Santa Anna hard for the Provisional Presi- j dency, in the last election by Congress. The Stale of Tamaulipas has voted for Gen. Almonte for the Presidency, and Zacatecas for Senor Jo-e Maria Lafrgua. The Legislature of Oajaca (which has been denounced by the revolutionary par ty in that Slate.) voted for Gen. Herrera. The new Legislature voted fur Gen. San ta Anna for President. If tfiis last vote he allowed to Gen Her. rera, the result of the election so far will stand thus: Gen. Herrera 4 votes, An gel Trias 3 voles, Senor Ocampo I vole, Senor Eiloriaga I vote, Gen. Almonte 1 vote, and Senor Lafragua 1 vote. Give the vole of Oajaca to Gen. Santa Anna and you have the seventh candidate for the unenviable station of Piesident of Mexico. AUGUSTA, lihu.. SUNDAY MORNING, JUNE 20, 1847. The Constitutionalist furnishes the follow ing as the off-pring ot some Whig press: “ The most adroit skull-breaker, throat-cut ter, house burner and women and children slayer of the age.” We receive a great number of Whig pa pers, from all sections of the Union, and we have never seen any thing like this in any Whig paper whatever We admit, however, that some fanatical aUolit’on Whig pre.-s may have used such language. We will fully meet this extract by the following Ironr a De mocratic abolition (taper: “If there is in the United Slates a heart worthy of American liberty, its impulse is to JOIN THE MEXICANS, and hurl down upon the base, slavish, mercenary invaders, who, born in a Republic, go to play over the accursed game of the Hessians, the lops ot these Mexican volcanoes. It would be a sad and woful joy, hut a joy nevertheless, to hear that the hordes under Scott and Taylor were, every man of them, sut.pt into the next world. Wlial business has an invading ar my in this!" The Chronicle tf* Sentinel must have a strange assortment of Whig exchanges, if it dues not frequently meet with passages hav ing a close family resmblance to the first of the two quotations above given. Not on ly is the first, but the second quotation which the Chronicle would attribute to a Democrat ic paper, is from a Whig paper. The first is from the Xenia (Ohio) Torch Light—a prominent Whig paper in the Congressional district which Mr. Schenck.a very influential whig.represents in Congress. That same gen tleman attended recently a public meeting in Graene co., Ohio,in which just such language was used in reference to Gen. Taylor. Such language is of common occurrence among the whigs. Our whig exchange list is not devoid of occasional specimens. The second quota tion is also from a whig, and not a Democratic paper. Such is not the language of democ racy in reference to the war. It is the lan guage of the Boston Chronotype. We do not exchange with it, but we find it called a Whig paper by Northern papers. The De mocracy of Massachusetts has not in this wise raised its voice against the war. It was not the Dtmo racy in her legislati re that refused a vole of thanks to Gen. Tay lor and his brave army.— It was not the De mocracy that refused to vote a dollar as an outfit lo the gallant regiment of Massachu setts volunteers, who are now serving their country under the command of the hero of Buena Vista. The ignominy and disgrace of all this rest where they properly should— with the Whigs alone. We will not repeat the statements hereto fore published by us, coming from those who ought to know, and wiio do not speak from mere conjecture, to show that Gen. Taylor is a strict constructionist, an anti-tariff, and anti-bank man. If he be such, as is alledg ed by them, then he is a Democrat. We will not argue such a point. No man holding these views can, by possibility, be a Whig. A Whig paper, published at Cleaveland, Ohio, says very properly, “Calling him a Whig, therefore, does not tell us his princi ples.” “It is said he is a whig. Well, say that he is a Louisiana slaveholding whig. And what is such a whig? Can the Herald tell us what are his views on the subject of a laritf—the annexation of Texas—the acquisition of ter ritory —and the extension of slavery? One would think, from the above article, the edi tor knew all about him. Fray, give us light. The simple fact of calling him a whig will not do. In what does his being a whig con sist? Johnson, of La. was a whig, at d voted for Texas. Jarnigau was a whig, and voted for the repeal of the tariff of ’42. All the whigs of the slave States, voted for the ex tension of slavery. All the northern whigs against it. Calling him a whig, therefore, dues not tell us his principles.” We will, no doubt, in proper time, have from General Taylor’s own pen, a full and explicit avowal of his political opinions. We will then see how much “aid and comfort” the real true blue, Tariff, National Bank, In ternal Improvement Whigs will derive from the avowal. As the Chronicle seems not to have as co- ; pious a supply of Whig sentiments in refer ence to General Taylor as is desirable for correct information, as to what its Whig con federates say and think of him, vve select two or three for its special perusal. We have a few more left of the same sort. The Beaver, Pa., Argus, on the 27th of May, thus speaks of him; He (Gen. Taylor) is also the man who re commended the Cuba blood hounds, that were put upon the trails of the Indians, and which brought the democratic parly into such bad repute. He is undoubtedly a brave man, but is thought to be not well qualified for the du ties and responsibilities that rest upon him as commander of the army of occupation. The Trenton News, a decided and strong whig paper, savs: “But vve ask you who, according to your own estimate, lias been the leader to kill, where G>>d has commanded, Thou shale not pill; Who, to plunder, when God has said. Thou shall nut steal! To seize whole pro vinces of farms, of houses, of towns and cities, when G*>d has said, 7 hou shall not Corel anything that is thy neighbor's ! Who ha> snatched the charter from the hands ot the Aimighty, wherewith to destroy the hu man beings He has made? N\ ho has attempt ed to make the cannons oui-tliunder the voice of God from tSinai? There is but one an swer to these questions. It the sentiments advanced by tire Gazette are true, then is Gen. Zachary Taylor guilty of all this ! He, the chief, whose fame has sprouted from the rich manure of human bodies, slaughtered in defence of their wives and little ones—of their God and their country ! He, the chief tain, whose only claim to distinction is found ed in the violation ol God’s charier ! He, the statesman who should be elevated over tiie heads of Clay and Webster, because he has kuled, by wholesale, in violation ol God’s law— Thou shall nut kill!" In New Jersey the whig papers are lully as fierce and uncompromising. 'l'he Monmouth Inquirer says “This is a nomination growing out of a military mama, and it is in effect proclaim ing that the path to the Presidency ot this Republic is through human blood. Is it not so? Admit all the high qualities of Gen. Taylor as a man, yet what is it hut the pres litre, of his name as a bold and successful General that has caused him to be taken up as an available candidate?” We asserted that the great distinguishing feature of an orthodox whig in 1847, is oppo sition to the war waged by our country against Mexico. According lo this the Chronicle would insist that Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Benton are whigs. Not exactly. They are not found in 1847, giving “aid and com fort” to the Mexicans by their speeches.— Their voices are not raised in loud anathe mas upon the war, and calling down the im precaiionsof heaven upon ourarmies. Their opinions when the Tyler treaty was under discussion may have been different from the mass of the democratic parly, and prior to the breaking out of hostilities they may have advocated a policy which might in their opinion have averted the war. These posi tions they did assume. But since it com menced, they have not been viewed by the Mexicans as their friends. El liepuhlica no, and EL Diario have not looked lo them for succour,or quoted their speeches as proof that they are favorable to the overthrow of the party now in power in our country, and will if Mexico will only prolong the war, lill the opposition comes into office, make a trea ty in conformity with Mexican desires. Thus much cannot be said of all the distinguished men in the country. Mr. Webster, and Thomas Corwin inclusive, who are whigs. We have one word in conclusion, to say in reference to the Southern whig press and General Taylor. If they intend iii good faith to support him for the Presidency, they will have to cut louse from their Northern allies. They will have to abandon the ultra federal doctrines of those all es—their protective tar iff—national bank and internal improvement n »tions, and come back to the State rights, republican creed which distinguished the un divided South in former days. It is very cer tain that their Northern allies will not sup port for the Presidency a Southern slavehold. er, and an anti-Wilmot proviso man. They deceive nobody therefore in talking of Gene ral Taylor as the whig candidate. The North ern whigs are all powerful in a party nomi nation. They will nominate a Northern can didate—and a Wihnot proviso man. South ern whigs, and especially Georgia whigs may get up a hurrah for the whig hero of Buena Vista, in the hope of some temporary party benefit,, in our local elections. But it is the sheerest, most drivelling attempt at humbug for them to la ! k of his being elected lo the Presidency by the whig parly. 0“ The topics of inquiry contained in the note of our correspondent “Enqu.rer,” are worthy the attention of our City Council, and worthy of a reply. To more citizens than “Enquirer,” is the standing water in the Canal a matter of great interest. There was some sickness last summer in the upper part of the city, caused, as many suppose, by the Canal. We hope it may not recur this sum mer. Both to this possible cause of sickness, and the trash on the commons, we invite the the especial attention of tiie City Council, and that of its Committee on Health. It may> perhaps, be necessary to add a Committee on the best mode of propagating musquiloes. Harps.

[COMMUN ICATED.] As a citizen, enjoying the privilege of be ing pretty liberally taxed, I wish respect fully to ask those in authority (through your columns) whether it is conducive lo the health 61 the city to permit the water lo remain in the Canal during the s immer, while there is no outlet at this end ? or to allow so large an accumulation of “trash” as may be loutui upon different portions of the city Commons?
