Gentlemen—ln order to make known to all
persons engaged in the trade between the Kio
Grande and Monterey, the determination of
the commanding general in regard to the pay
ment of tribute to the enemy, I am directed
by Col. Butler to enclose to you a cop}* oi Brig,
Gen. Wool’s orders, No. 513; to beg the favor
of you to give them a place, in Spanish and
English, in your paper; and to declaje his fixed
determination to exeeute them to the letter.
It is known to the country that early in
September last goods to a large amount were i
captured by Canales, at this place, and retaken
by a detachment of the 3d dr ago ens and a
party of citizens, Under command of Lieut.
Davidson; and it will scarcely be believed that
the owner of those goods, or agent in charge of
them, not only failed or offered to make com
pensation to their restorers, but paid tribute to
their original captors.
The Individual reported to Col. Butler of
having been guilty of conduct so disgraceful,
is a Mr. Bonilla, believed to be now in Mon
terey, and said to be a partner of the Spanish
Con'Ulat Matamoros.

Order No.-513.—-It bus come to the knowl
edge of the general commanding that several |
traders, residing in- Monterey, Americans as
■well as Mexicans, have been in the practice of ,
paying sums of money to the enemy, for safe
con luct for their goods from- all harm or mo
lestation from the guerilla bunds on the road
from the Kio Grande to this-place.
The Governor of the city, and the officers in
command of the District of the Upper Kio j
Grande, will make known to all persons engag
ed in the trade with this place, that this tribute,
or “black mail,” must no longer be paid.
That, where Americans are concerned,it is r on
their part, a disgraceful, and, by the constitu
tion of the United States, is made a treasonable
act; that Mexicans and foreigners engaged in
it will be regarded ns actively hostile to the
forces of she United; and in either case, that !
tha parsons o.Tending, will be seized and con
fined, and their property confiscated.

Departure or the Teviot.—On Wednes-'
day last, the 23dinst., at 2 o’clock, B. M., the
British mail steamer Teviot, Lieut. PV Hast,
It. X., commander, left the anchorage at Ship
Islands and proceeded on her way to Europe.
She took-in one hundred tons of coal from the
steamer Ohio; furnished by the Mexican Gulf
Railroad Company. The Teviot went into the
harbor of Ship Island* when Capt. List, the
superintendent of the'Royal Mail Packet Line,
Com nanlcr llust, and other officers of the
steamer, went ashore to make an examination
of ass drs there; and after a'careful survey of the
harbor they expressed themselves satisfied with
their discoveries. Plenty of water was found
quite near the island, where the steamers can
lie in perfect sefety. A coal depot may be
eavdy established at Ship-Island,-a wharf built,
and a house put up for the accommodation of
passengers. Tnis we presume the company of
the Gulf Railway will have done., and thus per
manently establish a stopping point for the
Royal mail steamers.
The Teviot takes out $120,000 to Flurope.
The steamer before her had $500,000.

[ Correspondence of the Xeir York Globe.]
WASIIIXGTOX, Dec. 22, 1847;
The Southern Whigs received a beautiful
dose yesterday from their Northern allies.—
The circumstances are these: you kfiow the
South is particularly obstreperous on the
Wilmot Proviso; and as it bears the soubriquet
of a Democratic representative, the Whigs South
of the Potomac are at no little pains to incul
cate the belief that the Northern Democracy
is especially hostile to the South and its in
i terests; and by stoutly maintaining the asser
tion, they have undoubtedly made some im
pression against us. But they keep in the
background the fact that Mr. Winthrop, the
present Speaker, who was elected to the chair
by Southern Whig votes, introduced this same
, obnoxious Proviso as an amendment to the
Oregon Territorial Government bill at the last
• session; and when reminded of the circum
; stances, evade the matter by professing their
belief in Mr. W. as a “good Whig!” With
out comprehending to the fullest extent the
import of these terms, our Whig cotemporaries
are permitted to take them for all they are
worth, not at all doubting that Mr. Winthrop
personally defines himself as a “good Whig,”
and that he feels under some obligations to
his Southern friends for their generous en
dorsement. Mr. Giddinga, of Ohio, also pro
fesses to be “a good Whig,” and for aught I
I see, save the Southern endorsement, he is as
well entitled to the appellation as Mr. Win
throp. Well, then, this “good Whig,” Mr.
i Gid.lings, presented a petition from several
other “good Whigs” of this city, praying the
abolition of the trade in the District of Colum
bia; a motion was made to lay the petition on
the table, and on this the yeas and nays were
ordered; the call resulted in a tic, and that
“good Whig,” Mr. Winthrop, gave the cast
| ing vote in the’ negative.
You will, of course, understand the bearing
l of this vote. Hitherto, especially while the
21st Rule was in force, the House has refused
to received petitions for the abolition of slave
ry, on the ground, as many contend, that Con
gress has no j drisdic tioii over the matter/ All
this was overborne by Mr. Wiuthrop’s casting
vote, and his Southern friends have received
from him very opportune aid in their attempts'
to define the meaning of their party cognomen.
Altogether, it was rather a rich affair, and will
prove an instructive story to tell at future
Whig brrbecues.-
At the appropriate time Mr. Richardson’s
resolutions in relations to she Mexican war,
were called up for consideration; and I have
no doubt many “a good Whig” wished the
author of those resolutions securely at the bot
tom of one of the Mexican mines. They came
up with the previous question pending over
them,’which, of course, stopped debate, and
; left them open only to amendments. All of
she amendments were, in fact, substitutes, and
came from the Whig side of the House. Most
: of them outraged the truth, in attempting to
I give a history of the origin of the war;-aud all of
them, I believe, contemplated the withdrawal
of our forces from Mex : co,and a surrender of all
i territory smith of the Nueces. It was, in fact, a
sort of “heading” operation; a species of diplo
macy in which our old acquaintance, Mr. John
Minor Bolts, chairman of the Military Com
mittec, found himself particularly at home,
jlt did- one good to see him, he looked
so cozily, and entered into the cause of Mexico i
so heartly, that one could almost imagine him
in the same bed with Captain Tyler, dreaming
over his celebrated plank to “head him.” I
commend to your especial notice the resolu
tions submitted as a substitute for those under
consideration, by this same John Minor Botts,
with the single remark, that if Santa Anna
himself were only half as good a Mexican at
heart, as this same Mr. Botts, our enemies
would be far better oft’ than they appear to bo
at present. If the chairman of the Military
Committee designs to- cUrry out, in his Com
mittee, sdeh doctrines as he shadowed forth
■ in his resolutions, we may give the Whigs joy
of their chairman. His “moral treason” will
do honor to his party; and his patriotic Vir
ginian- must feci proud
of him. If, as an-American Representative,
i he persevere as he has commenced, in giving
“aid an 1 comfort” to the enemies of his coun
try, he may soon find himself sharing his lau
rels wdth those other “good Whigs” who de
clared themselves too moral and religoiis to
rejoice at American victories. But Mr. Botts
was not the only one who showed his hand,
under the supposition that black hearts were
trumps,-and I trust you will devote to the de
bate that space and attention which its interest
warrants.
Sm-aged JSlcphunt-
In Philadelphia, on Wednesday, the elephant
Columbus of Messrs. Waring & Co.’s mana
| gcrie, became exasperated against his keeper
, and committed various acts of violence. The
| Inquirer says—
The keeper, Win. Kelly, of New York, whose
acquaintance with Columbus was onl} r short,
was employed after 1 o’clock in paring his feet
I and otherwise preparing him for exhibition in
the afternoon, when the animal becoming res
tive, Kelly left him and procured a fork with
which to chastise him. but the sagacious animal
seeing him returning with the weapon, screech
} el, and instantly seized him with his extended
trunk and threw him twice into the air, and
then left him foaming with rage.
He instantly knocked down the cages in
which were a hyaena and a wolf, both of which
I escaped therefrom, and run several times round
i the ring before they were captured and secur
ed, which was done without miy injury to the
persons who performed that daring ami dan-
I gerous act —the amimals being dreadfully
alarmed at tfie screeches of Columbus and his
i ungovernable fury. It was truly a fearful time,
■ for all the animals, from the King of the For
; rest down to the most insignificant reptiles,
I were struck with consternation arrd awe, nn<l
each gave vent, in its own peculiar manner, to
the dread that pervaded it.
This noble elephant, seeing Mr. Waring and
his men taking measures to secure him, rushed
towards them, when they escaped up the seats
for the audience, partly followed by him, but
I he was compelled to withdraw as the flooring
1 and seats gave way under his ponderous
j weight.
Mr. Driefbach, Mr. Waring and others then
obtained a cable, which was placed in the cen
tre of the ring,and finally, after much manoeuv
ring, they succeeded in noosing him by the
leg; they then retreated towards the souther
ly corner of the menagerie, where the animal
followed them—managing to elude him, they
after great efforts, and striking him very se
verely with pitchforks, got iron chains on his
legs.
At length they got him into the middle of
the ring, where we last saw' him at halt-past
five last night. He was then, apparently hum
bled, having bled profusely and suffered con
siderably. He tore up and broke all the scats
in the ring that came within his reach, with
as much ease as if they had been merely pipe
: stems.
The unfortunate keeper, Kelly, we are sorry
to say, had, it was rumored, his right hip and
thigh dreadfully fractured. He was convey
ed to his lodgings, at the Farmers’lnn, in
Market street, where, we understand, his leg
was amputated two hours altcrwaads.

Pardon of Williams-
It will be seen by our Millcageville Cories- 1
pondcnce, that the Legislature has pardoned
Williams. The intelligence, when first re
ceived, created quite an excitement in our
city. It was more than anyone expected,
: and although the petition to commute his |
I punishment to imprisonment in tlic Peniten- '
: tiaVy for life, received the signatures of a large 1
I number of our citizens,, had one been* circula- i
| ted for his full pardon, it worild not have rc- j
ceived twenty names. But the Legislature, |
in’its wisdom, has thought proper to grant ;
him a full pardon-—the deed is done, and can
; not be revoked —it was one of the fflost rm- j
wise acts of the session, and may receive fur
ther comment from us. If cases like Wil
liams’s are to go unpunished, our legislators
would do well to abolish Courts of Justice,
j and thus stive jurymen much-trouble and in
convenience.-
Another Hasty Plato of Soup.
That Gen. Scott had talent, (perhaps genl
-1 us,) Ave have always thought—that he lacked
judgment and common sense, Ave have long be
lieved; and that this want of discreet judgment
i has often caused Mm to commit great blun
; ders, and frequently rendered great interests
■ unsafe in his hands, avg think his public tasc
1 have often manifested.
His recent General Order, No. 319, developes
this trait in his character as strikingly as any
act of his Florida campaign—as any letter
Hereof, not excepting the precious epistle in
which he recommended a supply of “good
troops, not volunteers,” and which he after
wards endeavored to explain as “a hasty plate
of soup;” nay, .not excepting his famed
“hasty plate of soup” leuCT itself. We care
not what may be the errors of the 6.deers al
luded to, —though, as the Charleston Mercury
suggests,-it would seem from the order, that
the General-in-Chief had placed his accusa
tion on the flimsy ground, that they were the
authors of the letters complained of, because
they Avere praised highly in t lose letters, and
Col. Duncan has since avowed himself as the
author of the letter complimenting General
Worth—that it Avas written privately to a
friend, and that Gen. Worth knew nothing of
it, or its contents; Avhile Pillow has disavow*-
ed all connexion Avith, or knowledge of; the
“Leonidas” letter.
But parsing over this, and admitting the
justice of the accusation of the General-in-
Chief, as to the authorship of these letters,
every citizen w r ho has at heart the character
of his country and its public servants, and
who is proud of the glory which Geh. Scott
has recently acquired for it, and for himself,
must be grieved to read this undignified and
coarse order. The Avrong there rebuked and
sought to be corrected, may have existed, and
the General may haA*e been right in endeavor
ing., to-correct it, but we cannot but regret the
steps he has taken in consequence thereof;
avc cannot shut our eyes to the glaring fact, that
this order, in its whole character, is vulgar, in
judicious, and unAvorthy of the conqueror of
Mexico —is in fact, an indiscreet blunder on
the part of Gen. Scott —is in short, another
| “hasty plate of soup.”
On this subject, the Mercury, an old friend
of the General, under the head of “Army
Difficulties,” thus discourses;
“ He (Gen. Scott) does not suggest any other
reason for charging them Avith the authorship
of letters, which, if they come, as he pretends,
under the description in the section of Army
Regulations re-published, renders these high
officers liable to be dismissed from the service.
And this accusation, thus flimsily supported,
lie publishes at the bead of the Army : and
not content Avith this, he it in language
fit only to be used in coarse quarrels of
the coarsest portion otpolitical press.—
And to show how rasii and ungenerous the
accusation Avas, it Avas no sooner promulgated,
than Lieut. Col. Duncan came forward arid
claimed the exclusive authorship and sole
knoAvledge of the letter referring to Worth,
Avhile Pillow distinctly all share in
the other. In Avhat light, tjjen* must be view
bd, so grave an accusation, put forward in the
mojst intemperate language, by this General-
against officers second only to hirn-
rank r ” % *

a short illness, in the City of Mexico, onjhe J29tb
of November, and was buried on the oOlh, with
military honors, regretted by all who knew him,
and particularly by the Regiment to which he be
longed. In the death of Dr Slade, Ins profession,
; to which he was truly an ornament, and his coun
-1 try, to which he was enthusiastically devoted, have
alike sustained a heavy loss. A native of Martin
county. North Carolina, he migrated to Madison
county. Miss., in the year 1836, where he practiced
his profession with much credit and success until
December, 1841, when he removed to the city of
New Orleans, with the view of findinga field bet
ter suited to his ambition and his acquirements.
Died, at Broughton Islands near Darien, very
suddenly, on the 23d inst., Florida BreaS, wile
of Thos. M. Forman, and daughter of the Hoa.
