[From the New Orleans Delta, 10 th inst.] The Negotiations. We cannot disguise our apprehensions that the circumstances under which Mr. Trist en tered upon his diplomatic-discussion, give no promise or assurance that the result will be satisfactory to the American people. W e arc d 8 ippointcd in the hope much cherished by the pro de of this Union,and especially enter- , taindiccd by the Commandor-iu-( ’hief oi our arms, of tutiug a peace to tne Mexicans,in their j own capital. TV e know not upon w hom the | blame will fall but we think the author and pro poser of the mode, time and place, which have been selected for the diplomatic adjustment of our difficulties with Mexico, will incur a heavy and fearful responsibility. We have ever feared for the credit and char acter of our Republic, when its claims against Mexico were subjected to the diplomatic or deal. The Mexicans beat us hollow in all the arts and cunning of diplomacy. In our vari rious negotiations with them, through our ambassadors, they have never failed to outwit and hood-wink us. They are as far ahead of us in duplicity and dissimulation, as we are ahead of them in valor and prowess. Will Mr. Trist form an exception to the long list of American negotiators and envoys whom the Mexicans have deluded and over reached? We have not the slightest acquain tance with that gentleman’s diplomatic capa bilities, and will not therefore pretend to an swer the question, whether or not he is an equal to the combined skill and ingenuity of one Mexican general and three lawyers* Rut alas! that after all the <*lory and suc cess of this war—after whipping the enemy whenever and wherever we met him —after penetrating into the heart of his country and most signally defeating his last and largest army under the very walls of the capital—with the spires and cupolas of that magnificent city in full view of the array—that then and there Mr. Nicholas P. Trist, Chief Clerk of the State Department, should be closeted with one Mexican general and three lawyers to deter mine ripon the peace, which we were all pro mised, and the glory of this war should he dictated to the enemy in the grand! plaza of their capital. Jm It destroys forever the unity and our Mexican Epic- -it throws a universayßma per and freezing disappointment over na tional ambition —it makes us the stock of that envious old world, wjpise awe end respect we were just beginnindwo arouse. Not the least mortifying consideration con nected with the trist-fid is that it should have been invited and solicited by our selves. We were not stopped py a suppliant and subdued enemy, approaching our victori ous general as the mayor anti chief citizens of Calais went forth to deliver the keys of thnr city to the conquering EtlVard. TV e did not even wait until awed and prostrated by the last and heaviest blow which wo had inflicted on his military power, by the destruction of that gallant army which the day before had march e I out of the city, with banners flying and tr umpets sounding, but which now in broken, bbody and frightened fragments steals into the city like a thief by night. We did not wait until the enemy himself, thus signally and overwhelmingly defeated, prayed our mer cy and solicited peace ? But we take the ini tiative ourselves. Though the victors, the humiliation of asking for terms is ours. We are not sanguine enough to expect that any peace thus patched up will be satisfactory to the people. Its benefits and advantages will have to be great and dazzling indeed to reconcile the people to the circumstances under which it was made. But we have no hope of obtaining even a fair compensation for the sacrifices and bur dens of this war from such a peace. The Mex icans fully appreciating their advantageous position of respondent and defendant in the peace discussions, will raise their pretensions to the very highest point of arrogance and presumption. Thus we see it stated that they had the impudence to claim the Nueces as the proper boundary of their country and to re quire that we shall retire beyond it. What other absurd pretensions they may be induced to set up will never transpire until the pub lished terms will enable us to guess how far they moderated their first views. But circumstanced as they are, can the Mex icans agree to any such terms of peace as we require, as the people at least require ? They are a proud, sanguine people. They will con strue our indiscreet peace solicitations as indi cations of our weakness, and of the success of their last efforts in defence of the capital.— Deeply embittered and infuriated against us, they will consider this a favorable opportunity of satisfying the hatred which has long cur dled their blood and steeled their hearts to wards us. Then, too, this negotiation is conducted un der the auspices of .Santa Anna, and must ne cessarily incur all the prejudice and unpopu larity which have accumulated against the Mexican President. Already we hear of the rally of his opponents, and of the opponents of the North Americans, under his old enemy Bustameute—his later enemy Paredes —and his still later enemy Val encia, Can he succeed in resisting these for midable chiefs, backed as they are by the rab ble rout who rule the unhappy country? We fear not. Our conclusions then are that Mr. Trist’s negotiations open most in aus pici ousi y; th at they never should have been commenced until our army had marched into the Mexican capital; that peace should not have been sought or »elicited by us? that the Mexicans will be em boldened by the circumstances of the negotia tion to place their pretensions at a high murk, and that Santa Anna will not be supported by the Mexican chiefs and people. These are our views, and we leave it to time to determine their truth and correctness. A Mexican Account of the Battle. An evening edition of the New-Orleaus, Na tional, gives us the following particulars of the battles from the Sim of Anahuac, of the 30th utt. “Two letters were roceivod this morning da ted Mexico, Aug- 23, 1848. These letters are from the best source and cannot be doubted. They are from Mexicans of high respectability at the Capital and addressed to commercial houses here. They say that General Scott at tacked El Pinon —took it, went around through Guadaloupe where Valencia was in command of 6003 men, (this was on the 21st) attacked him and took a great number of prisoners, bu i.TOrtjeaikrMaiiwi i^c^ajigeußg^ f the night coming the fire ceased on both sides ; and Gen. Scott surrounded Valencia’s troops. The next morning they were again' vigorously attacked ami* completely routed, leaving 4000", between dead, wounded and prisoners. “Valencia had received the order on the' 21st to retreat on the capital, but he would not obey it, and fought until his* command was nearly all cut down, as we have already said. “\\ hile he was retreating in disorder, say the letters, Gen. Peres was on his march with 8,000 men to reinforce him; but on seeing the disor der in which Valencia’s forces were retreating, they themselves retreated in great contusion, j leaving a great number of dead, wounded and i prisoners. “A proposition was them made to General i Scott to grant an armistice of thirty-four hours, j which he refused. Gen. Mora y A illamil was then sent out to make a new proposition, the I result of which was not known, ! “It is reported also that Santa Anna was op | posed to the plan of operations which were put in practice by the Mexican troops, but that the plan had been offered by Paredes, who was with Valencia during the engagement. “All letters agree in saying that all was con fusion in the capital. “The letters to which we refer say that some persons estimated the loss of the Mexicans at FOURTEEN THOUSAND, but that it was Very difficult to say exactly the number. “These letters arc from Mexicans and there i fore we can be certain that they would not say anything to their disadvantage, if thay were l not certain of their being true. “It is reported that the loss of Gen. Scott is i very small in Comparison to that of the enemy.” ——BMgSBM—aKaMMH Hl' ICHP—BB3BOHB——■BOGBPMa— 3. uqus t a , oeor 5 i a . THURSDAY MOUNTING, SEPT. 16 FOR GOVERNOR HON. D. W. TOWNS. OF TALBOT.

The sorrowfill intelligence reached our city yesterday Os the death of the Hon. Richard Henry Wilde, who for many years held a very distinguished position at the Bar of Georgia, and represented her for a long period with signal ability in the Congress of the United States. He died on the 1 Oth inst. of yellow fdver, at New Orleans, to which city he removed three or four years ago, and where, during that pe riod, he had placed himself iii the front rank of Iris profession. It should devolve on an abler pdn to write the eulogy of this very distinguished citizen and accomplished gentleman. In common with our fellow-citizens of Augusta, among whom he had lived respected and honor ed, we shall lament his loss as a public bereavement, while We s} r mpathize deep ly with the large circle who will keenly feel this sundering of the ties of freindship. His afflicted relatives here, will have the con solation of knowing that this sympathy in their misfortune is wide and universal. All must feel sad and mournful at this strik ing dispensation, for in the deceased was ex tinguished one of the intellectual luminaries of the age. In him was combined the pro found jurist, the sagacious statesman, the elegant writer. Independent of those forensic and legislatorial honors which were the re j wards of his talents and attainments, his polish ! ed and classic pen has enriched the literature of his country. Public opinion has long since awarded to him a high place among our coun i try’s poets and crowned him with her bright i est chaplet. Though his presence will no longer adorn, and his wit enliven the social ; circle—though the places which knew him once shall know him now no more forever, yet his name survives in his country’s litera ture. His is ‘‘One of those few, immortal names That were not born to die.” Columbia Court, now in session, James Gardner Gould and Am. Huguenin Me Laws, were admitted to plead and practice Law in the several Courts of Law and Equity ■ in this State. The Hon. John M. Berrien on the Stump. This gentleman was last week stumping it at Dahlonega. On the 9th inst. he addressed a whig meeting, and undertoo I', 1 ', among other often attempted things, again to define his po sition on the tariff. TVe are surprised that the experience of 1844, has not had a more salutary I effect upon him. He then injured both him self and his party by his stump efforts on this subject. We doubt whether the repetition of the task will mend the matter. On the point oi dignity, which is the greatest “let doten for t a hoary ex-Senator, a candidate for re-election to the United States Senate.to take the stump, |or for a candidate for Governor? As the whigs seem to have an aristocratic scale of i dignity on this subject, perhaps they may solve the problem. Duty on Salt. The Savannah Republican has shown a re | markable degree of industry in firing small ; shot—very small slujt at Col. Towns in refer i ence to his Congressional career. Among the ; very small shot recently fired, we notice that the Republican refers to his vote to tax Salt 20 per cent. This was one article among the 1 many hundreds taxed by the tariff bill of 1846. j Why does not the Republican inform its read ers of the fact that the whig tariff of 1842 taxed this'Tery same article one hundred ter gjjjj | -■ ■ i i ■ U.. f cent? To show the superiority of the demo- * j cratic revenue bill, over whig tariffs, in refer ence to the rights and interests of the pe° r j man, wc are always ready to compare items. We arc equally ready to argue upon the in fluence of the two opposing systems. Col. Towns has never been found among the sup j porters of the party who tax the people ot the whole country 100 per cent, for the benefit of the few Salt manufacturers of Virginia and western New York. The Republican and his i friend General Clinch are apart of that croud. This the whig tariff did, which the democrats repealed with the aid of Col. Towns’ vote.

The editor of the Charleston Mercury learns froin Mr. Shaw, the Supcrintcndant of the line between Charleston and Petersburg, Ya., that the posts are all erected between the two points ; with the exception of about thirty miles; that i he has a strong force engaged, and will com i racnce putting on the wire the ensuing week; and that the line will be in operation, and Charleston placed in magnetic communication with New York, by the first of December next. The Mobile Register, of the 11th instant, sdys —**We are glad to see that the work on this pdrtidn of the line is proceeding with en ctgy and vigor. The agent of the work, Mr. I Llo}'d, returned to this city two days since and with him the party under charge of Mr. Griffin. The erection of posts, and cutting out and preparing the line for the reception of the wires and insulators is completed from here to New Orleans, except the masts at the Rigolets near Fort Pike—which arc progress ing with as much rapidity as practicable, and some eight miles of posts near the city on the Spring Hill road, which having by some mis j conception been improperly selected, are to be : replaced next week by durable cypress posts. ! The wire hooks and glasses will then be : placed and the wires soon afterwards pilt up. i These materials are being shipped from New York as rapidly as the'ability of the manufac | turcr to supply them will admit. Several tons of hooks and glasses and 40 or 50 miles of wire cord are already received in New Orleans | and at this place. We are informed also that : the line is nearly ready for the hooks and | glasses and wire from hence to Montgomery, and will be completed about the middle of the present month.” The Epidemic. The New Orleans Southerner, of the 10th - instant, says—The report of the Board of Health shows a decrease in the number of deaths. There is good reason to suppose how j ever, that the sudden change in the weather i which has taken place within the last 24 hours will again increase the mortality. About 2 j o’clock yesterday morning it became cold and ■ chilly and has continued so since. It is con ' 1 sidcrcd very unfavorable for those having the | fever. [communicated.] Should All Vote for Col. Towns? Whig. —How do you do, old friend, I’m very glad to see you, but very sorry to hear tkat you intend casting your vote against our S old General. Democrat. —Yon have been correctly inform ed; such is my intention. IV. —Well, what can be your reason? Did’nt j you fight under him? And did’nt you find him a first rate old man? D. —Does it follow that because I fought under Gen. Clinch, I am to vote for him? I believe him to be a fine old man, and am ready to figbt under him again, but when it comes to making him Governor, that’s a dif ferent thing. Have you yet to learn that a man may make a very good military , and yet not be a competent civil officer? tr.—Well that’s just what Smithson, Wcl f don and Snooks told me this morning, and I said to them that I was astonished to hear men who had fought under Gen. Clinch talk that way. D. —Well, why do you support him? Do you vote for him because you were in the wars with him? W. —Oh no; I vote for him because he’s a Whig. D. —Very good; suppose you were a Demo crat, would you still vote for him? W. —No; I Would not. D. —Then, why do you wish me to sacrifice my principles? Arc they not as dear to me as yours are to you? IF. —That’s a tough - question —you are right —do your duty —your country expects it of you*. „ D. —Well, but leaving tire party considera tion out of the question altogether, do you believe (ini. Clinch capable of filling the of fice to which he aspires? Do you not candid ly think your convention made a sail* mistake in nominating him? W. —To confess the truth, I must say he is not my choice; I know he is not bright, either as a financier or statesman, and if I thought my Whig brothers would not lecture me about it, I’m not so sure but I would give one De mocratic vote. D. —This is a free country. I vote for Col. ; Towns, not because he is a Democrat, bxrt be { cause I believe him more competent for the ; office. He is a man ready for any emergency i that may arise—his familiarity with the Gov- I eminent makes him so, whereas, his competi tor is comparatively a novice in State affairs. IF.—Your language seems to carry truth with it. I will consider well the matter be tween now and the first Monday in October. D. —Do that, friend T., and I feci assured that you, and many other Whigs, will give their votes to Col. Towns. Health of Mobile. The Register of the Ilth inst. says—We re gret that we cannot announce any abatement in the disease that prevails at this time in the city, and we are concerned to add that the cases now occurring are assuming more of a malignant character, and yield less readily to medicine. The number of deaths however is exceedingly limited. During the last 24 hours cold northerly winds have prevailed any they are always considered unfavorable to health. We hear of new cases daily, and unless a favor able change in the weather takes place, it is ap prehended that the diseases will increase. We make these remarks on the highest medical authority. Col. Towns and a Roorback. A correspondent of the Macon “Journal” under the signature of “Chattahoochee,” has discovered two bran new “mare’s nests.” He asks the following questions: “1. Did or did not Col. Towns desert his post in Congress and leave his constituents unrepre sented in order that he might engage in Wes tern land speculation?” We answer by authority* “No Sin, he did not do any such thing. He never bought a foot of said lands after the event as charged.” “2d. Did not Col. Towns obtain the funds with which he embarked in that speculation in whole or in part from the Central Bank —an institution which he favored and sustained and which Under Democratic management has not I only squandered and lost the people of Georgia ! over a million of Dollars, and which, when ; wound up, will probably leave them a debt of three or font hundred thousand dollars to be paid by taxation upon their property:’' Wc reply, again, by authority, “No Sin* tie did not do’any stich thing, as charged. Mr. “Chattahoochee” threatens to “draw the docu ments” if disired. We say “draw away” and “lay on Macduff.” It is a Whig Roorback, and cannot be sustained. Mr. “Chattahoochee” had far better attend to Gen. Clinch and let Towns alone. The Whigs have far too much to answer for at their own doftrs, to be carrying this “war into Africa.” Shinny on your own sides gentlemen! — Columbus Times. “ Artful Dodging .”— Os all the “dodging” wc have seen, for a long time, that of General i Clinch and his friends, in relation to his note to the Bank of St. Mary’s, is decidedly the most “artful.” The General himself, by his plea in Court, in trying to dodge its payment, shew ed that he had dodged the charter. He has since dodged all public explanations of the transaction, but has excused himself to his friends, as we have more than once been told, by asserting, that the note was given in lieu of another, executed by another stockholder, who had subsequently failed. This we have no doubt is the true history of the transaction. It is consistent with his plea, and with all the facts in relation to the case, exhibited by the records and the statements of the Plaintiffs Attorneys. It is not. however, consistent with the state ments of the Savannah Republican.—ls that print dodges one way, and other friends of Gen. Clinch dodge another, there is but one way that the truth can be ascertained, and that is, for Gen. Clinch to make a clean breast of it. ’This he has been called upon again and again to do. While he dodges this and his friends dodge all sorts of ways, the people will settle down upon the conviction that the record tells the truth, and that Gen. Clinch sought to dodge the payment of a note which was given to dodge the charter of a Bank of which he was the President. — Federal Union. Tactics of the Whig Press. —Several of these j prints, whose editors fancying thev have some character to lose, have not ventured them selves, but have permitted their anonymous and irresponsible correspondents, to prefer a gainst Col. Towns charges as base and un founded as they are contemptible and malig nant. Until these charges find a responsible endorser, wc do not feel ourselves called upon to treat them with any further notice than fiatly to deny their truth, and to call upon the public to mete out to them the contempt they so richly merit. Among the charges that a licentious press has thus spread before the people, without the slightest evidence to sustain them, arc the fol lowing. Ist. That Col. Towns borrowed funds from the Central Bank to embark in speculations. 2d. That he used fictitious names in effect ing loans. 3d. That he is a defaulting attorney of the Central Bank. 4th. That he is pledged to veto any and all bills passed for the extension of the State Rail Road. The •barges shew the malignity of those who prefer them, and the manner in which they are preferred, shews that their authors, skulking behind the protection of an anony mous signature, cannot prove what they dare to assert.

Philadelphia, July 2G, 1346. | To the Public. —l certify that before my re membrance, 1 became afflicted with what 1 iivsi cians called Scrofula. It made its appearance by pain and swelling of the joints—more especially of my ankles, knees, wrists and elbows, after which the glands of ray throat and neck became inflam ed and swelled, attended with the most excruciat ing pains. 1 was often confined entirely to my bed, andfor weeks together could not move my neck or turn my head. Several physicians attended me at different times —but they did not appear to do me any good. About a year ago, I was attacked with vomiting, which continued every few minutes all one night. The next day an eruption appeared on the sides of my neck, which soon spread all over my neck, head and face, with inflammation of my eyes and eyelids, which destroyed my eye-lashes, and cann ed the hair to fall off my head, and soon the dis ease spread all over me; my limbs were one entire scab. 1 could not bend my hands or arms with out causing the skin to crack open, when the blood would run out. Some of my linger nails came off. -a short, I was unable to get rav own living, and in this condition I called up>n Dr. Jayne, in order that he might undertake my case. He directed mo take his Alterative three times a day and his Sanative Pills as often as I should find U ne cessary.

Sept. 11 .—^Coltoir- —The receipts si net the commencement of the year are 07 bales, and | the exports 400'bales. leaving the stock on hand and on shipboard not cleared 28.869 bales. During the first five oT six days of the month there was considerable excitement in the cotton 1 market, with large sales for the period of the year, and at very full prices. The advance was nearly Ic.per pound.. The excitement was caused bv the daily receipts of the most unfavorable account* ! from ail parts of the country in reference to the | c indilion of the growing crop.. We have now to i remark that the excitement has entirely subsided, | and that during the present week the demand has materially tallen off—the sales not exceeding 1500 bales. 7’his condition of the market is attributa j hie to the very high point to which holders have raised their figures, and to the unfavorable tenor of the advices by the steamer Guadelqniver. re ceived here in the early }*art of the week, in rela tion to the monetary affairs of England, though more particularly perhaps to'thc fact that the or ders in hand restrict buyer's to a range below the rates demanded. We give our quotations in accordance with the sales made, but consider therti merely nominal— not over 2 to 300 bales baring changed hands since Tuesday last. LIVERPOOL CLASSIFICATION.

It is now | past a qne«tifm that the crop of the fit ate general ■ ly has suffered severely by the wet weather ami ! the bofll worm, whilst in the lower counties the ;»r --;my worm has swept many of the plantations. No J condition of the weather for the remainder of the season can give us an average crop, and ths pro babilities at the present time seem to be that the receipts at this port will not greatly exceed those of the year just closed. It is too early for esti mates; our best attention, however, will be engag ed to obtain the most accurate information, which we shall be prompt to lay before our readers.
