Wool: tRTEHs, Upper Rio Grande, ) Dec. 2d, 1317. $ 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.

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.

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. Friday, Dec. 24. —Purs« SSO0 —entrance 10 per coat, a Idod—three miles heats. I. Van Leer’s ch. f. Ann Watson, by imp.

[ 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. £1 tt 3ns t a , (Georgia. Thursday morning, dec. so.

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 ” % * Chewing- Tobacco (What greater luxury is there, after a good dinner, or rihere will you find a better com panion, - Avhcn deeply engaged in, business, than in a good chew of Tvba'cCo ?
