Mow for the Contrast 1 In IS4G, when hostilities broke out between j This country and Mexico, a certain act was passed by Congress by a vote of one hundred and seventy-four yeas to fourteen nays, declar ing'that the* Avar was brought on B\ Till’ ACT OF MEXICO. Among the yeas, it was a source of gratification to us, and no doubt to the people of Georgia, that every represen tative from this State,* gave his vote, ate to to the bill. But what a sad picture does the above vote now present to us. Two of our members, THOMAS BUTLER KING and ROBERT TOOMBS, wire voted in DO >, that the Avar Avas brought on by the ad of Mexi co, in ISIS, Ave find voting that the Avar was **xtnneressarihj and ttneorttfttutiontilly begun by the President of the United States:" and voting Avith them we find the name of ALEXANDER HAMILTON STEPHENS! another repre sentative from Georgia! Scripture teaches ns, that he wlto is not for us is against us. Common sense teaches us, that he a\ ho is not for his country is against it. Two of our rep resentatives have been for and against, and another is now found in. their company ! We Avill not place these three members, nor use the terms that their change ot position provokes, but leave that for the people of this State and Union to do. That their course on this question may not be forgotten by the present generation or posterity, avc place them, with the company they have selected, in op posite columns, and shall keep the list in our paper until their names become as familiar as household words. Here they are : 1846. 1848. "Whereas, by tire act Be it Resolved, That of the Republic of Mux- thanks bo returned to ico, war exists be- Gen. Taylor, &c. “in tween the IT.

IF, om Vie At*# Orleans Picayune, 1 t-i instt] IVIj zican Correspondence- The annexed letters froixi one of our cor respondents in the city of Mexico were des patched by the way of Orizaba, and only reach- j ed \ era Cruz on the 11th inst. They Avere I due a Avock since and wo were afraid had been j lost. Though thus behind the newspapers j forwarded to us at the same time by the Jalaoa route, they as ill be read with interest: [ Special Correspondence ot the Pica •nine.'] Mexico, Dec. 20, IS 17. Yesterday, Gens. Butler and Lane arrived j in this city, and this afternoon Cel. Johnson came in with his command from Ayotla.— Strange to say no mail came in Avith them, except the letters by the British packet, and ; it is now supposed that, by some unaccoun table error, it must have been left at Puebla. ■ Considering the anxiety that is naturally felt j here by every one to receive news from homo, this negligence is unpardonable. Riley’s brigade is now comfortably domicil ed at Tacubaya, and on Sunday Chushiug’s brigade moved to San Angel. This Ta<t com mand consists of the Ist and 2d Pennsylvania, Ncav York, South Carolina and Massachusetts Yolunteers. These removals make room for the new troops, and, as Gen. Marshall is ex pected in a Avcek or two, Avith some five or six thousand men, still further movements must be made. Apropos of movements, report has it that the end of this Avc.k Avill see a march for Clue retaro. Toluca and San Luis. Gen. Cadwalader is spoken of for the first, and Gen. Patterson for the latter place. Nothing certain is yet know on the subject, but it j Avould not surprise me to sec a movement made at the time designated. 1 attended the rail road meeting held at Paoli's on Saturday afternoon last, and lound the room Avell tilled. Among the speakers were Lieut. Col. Iledert, of Louisiana, Lieut. Col. Black, of Pennsylvania, Lieut Caldwell, of the Marinos, and Mr. McMiekeu.our Avorthy postmaster. This thing has passed a joke.— When men like Col. 1J chert, a practical en gineer and man of noted scientific attainments, take up a measure of the kind, it is an evidence at least of the entire practicability of the scheme. Col. Hebert stated that he held in his han 1 a survey of t ic route, made in 1832, and that the rail road could be made at the almost incredibly low cost of five millions of dollars —less than fifteen thousand dollars a mile. Col. Black expatiated On the benefits the proposed rail road Avould confer on the native Indians of the country, Avhom he com pared to two-legged muloe; but Col. Hebert stated that from this very class the greatest opposition might be expected, and said that he had every reason to believe the carjadores were about getting up a pronunci unento against the measure, lie cited the fa -t of a law be ing passed by the Mexican Congress, some years ago, that no Avagon tire should bo less than nine inches broad, Avhich law Avas actual ly now on record, and Avas caused by an cn t uprising American, from Troy, New York, importing some narrow-Avheeled wagors,which from their superior speed, threatened to no nopoiize the trade ox the Republic. Although this movement may be, and d mbtless is, somewhat premature, there is a doubt on my mind that this rail road w ill be built, and at to very remote period. The survey,made by accomplished engineers,*lioa\ a straight line from Vera Cruz to Mexico.— The road pass over no mouutai is, and crosses no swamps; the ascent, through great, is very gradual —not more than a yard and a qu liter in every hundred —and the nature ot toe ground extremely favorable. Ihe Almighty himself seems to have poiute I out the way by Avhich the two extremes of the country arc to bo united. The road passes to the south ol I Orizaba and strikes Tiiscala, to the north oi j Puebla, from whence a branch Avas to connect ! the latter city. "When avc look at the vast ad j vantages attendant upon the building of this l road, a stranger in the inert and lifeless char -1 actcr of the Mexican people Avould deem it impossible that such a length of time should have elapsed since the establishment of their independence and yet no steps have been ta ken towards such an obviously beneficial un dertaking. Such is, nevertheless, the case, and it remains for the strong-minded and en terprising decondants of the Anglo-Saxons to confer upon this benighted people the benefits of civilization, first of which is the propofbd j rail road. At the “National,” on Sunday night last, we had a Spanish version of•• The Revolt of the Harem,” in Avhich the fair Od alls que« are con verted into p regiment of soldiers, the charm ing Canete personating the drummer boy. — The Avay they performed their evolutions would be a pattern to many as our best regi i ments, and they went through the entire | j manual to tho tap of the drum, not a word of i command being giA'cn. The Avholc piece was receive ! with shouts of applause. On Friday night next we are to have a noval entertain ment, for the benefit ofthe ladies of the es tablishment, the male performers being entire ly excluded. Lour, &e. c. c. Mexico, Dec. 2G, 1817- Ycsterday was Christmas Day,and as in duty bound, every body took a holiday, and remem bered absent friends at the dinner table. The streets Averc filled Avith Mexican ladies dressed in their gayest attire, and the churches and public buildings were decorated with bran ches of palm and spruce, according to established custom. About 3 o'clock in the after - oon, a special courier arrived from Avith the President’s mes sage, sent by Mr. Peoples, ofthe Star, which paper published it in an extra this morning, or at least that portion of it relating to the war. To-day a party left for Pachuca, a place a bout eighty miles to the northeast of this, and a short distance from the silver mines of Real del Monte. I understand their purpose is to collect the revenue on silver bars manufac tured there by an English company. The party consisted of the 9th Regiment of Infan try, a squadron of dragoons, and a couple of artillery, the whole under the command of Col. Withers, of the 9th. They return in ten or twelve days. Capt. Lewis’s company of Louisiana moun ; ted volunteers arrived here with Gen. Lane, and are to leave for Vera Cruz to-morrow. Ij shall send iilcs of papers by him. The Mexican prisoners taken by our army in the valley of Mexico were released on Wed nesday last, by Gen. Scott, they giving their parole of honor not to take up arms against us, which parole Las received the solemn sactiou of the church. 1 saw several cf them in the street on Thursday, and they each bore a pa per containing their parole, and signed by the Archbishop and principal Alcalde. These men were taken lighting the battles of their coun i t rv , and yet, had it not been for the humani ty’of their con querors,thay would have starved in prison; while the principal ladies and citi zens of this city vied with each other in send- iqg costly food and delicacies to the infamous { San Patricio de serter's,leaving their own conn- I tryinen to die of hunger for all they knew or cared. This is Mexican gratitude. On Tuesday last a Mexican policeman shot a private in the Kentucky regiment though ' j the head, and killed him instantly. He Avas i ■ taken to the guardhouse; but on examination it | turned out that it was entirely accidental, the i sholdier having given him a revolver to look i at, Avhen it exploded in Lis hands. He was released. The Ayuntamiento ha? been dissolved by order of Gen. Smith. This step Avas rendered absolutely necessary by the duplicity Avhich has chavact rized their proceedings towards the American authorities. The municipal elections of Mexico, according to law, must be held on certain days, and the Governor ordered them to be so held. The Government at Quere taro, however, had forbidden the holding of ' elections in any place occupied by the Ameri can army; and in obedience to these orders, the Ayuntamiento postponed the elections, telling the Governor that it was done to pre vent disorders. The elections Avere held, how ever. and a new council chosen, Avhom the old one immediately accused of violating the de cree of the Mexican Government. They also accused the council elect of acting illegally, be fore a Mexican criminal judge, who decided that the new election was valid and according to law. Acting under this sanction, the Goa'- ernor dissolved the old council and installed the n ;av. The folloAving are their names; Ist Alcalde, Lie. Francisco S. Iriarte; 2d do. Antonio Garay; 3d do.

Francis co Riband, commander of the squadron, has been, named by the Supreme Government Commander-General oi the Navy ofthe South, Avhose station is established atTepic until new orders.” YTxere-the deuce is his squadron? On Friday night, the actresses of the Spanish company took a benefit at the National, on Avhich occasion they excluded all the male portion of the company from the stage, filling all the characters themselves. The piece was a doleful tragedy called. “El Trovador,” and there av as any quantity of legs displayed on the occasion, cased in every variety of tights. One pair of browns commanded attention by their plump proportions and perfect symmetry. On Tuesday next the acton of the same com pany take a benefit, Avhen they intend to “swap” characters Avith the ladies, and, as they say in their announcement, “descend from the dignity of lords ofthe creation, even to the degree of surrounding our waists Avith the crafty and deceiving petticoats.” 'This nnill no j doubt be a rich affair. 9 o’clock, P. M. —I have just heard, from good authority, that orders have been issued for the departure ofthe divisions of Mnj. Gens. Butler and Patterson the latter end of this or commencement of next Aveek. They are to move on San Luis Potosi, and at a point this ride of that place are to diverge—the one to Z icatecas and the other to a tov\ n to the south east of San Luis. This is the plan of operations j at present, and all I have been able to gather [ un the subject. The movement Avill take place j as soon as the quartermasters can fit the ex pedition out. The news from Queretaro is not of much importance. There has been an attempted revelation there, Avhich Avas put doAvn by President Anaya, assisted by two corps of artillery. The ringleaders are determined to Avait until Anays leaves the presidential chair, which Avill be on the Bth of January, Avhen Congress meets, and the Constitutional Presi dent will be declared. Herrera is said to be the man. The leaders ofthe revolt have Avrit ten to the Governors and Legislatures of the different States, denouncing Anaya a* a friend to peace. The late Liav for the better regula tion ofthe army appears to have created much dissatisfaction among the officers and soldiers, particularly the clause reducing their pay. j The Curreo National contains a long list ofthe resignations of different officers—generals in cluded —who appear to think there may be some prospect of a fight. Mora is about to de mand. satisfaction Iron Gen. Scott for his order relative to guerrilleros. The late municipal elections in this city appear to have created some excitement in Queretaro- They complain bitterly of the election of foreigners. e. c. From Taaiimco.—Vv'c have copies of El No ticioso, of Tampico, of the oth and Sth inst., brought by the U. S. propeller Secretary Mat ey. This paper oi the Sth inst. that it has re cnA'ecl news from Tuspan which mentions that Com. Connor Avas preparing to disembark some troops there, permanently to garrison the tOAVit, Ti c Indian population, Avhich rose in insur rection at Huasteca, had lately entered the A'll -3 iltc of Tamiahua to the number of 600 men, and Avere threatening Tuspan. They had plun dered the haciendas of Scnores Francos. They have a rumor in Tampico that peace Avill be made with this country by tho month of April. They derive it by letter from Mexico. The editor of El Noticioso is incredulous. Tekrirle Steamroat Disaster.— Deplora- hie Loss of Life. —By the arrival of the Childe Harold yesterday we learned from her officers and passengers of another terrible disaster, by which probably forty lives were lost. The steamboat Y all-, bus ha, from Red River for this port with a full cargo of cotton, was entirely destroyed by fire the night of Tuesday last, the 18th inst. The catastrophe occurred at about 9 o’clock, when opposite the College, below Donaldsonville. The following is as full a list of the passengers lost as we have been able to obtain: Mrs. Jane Chamberlin and child, Mr. Nichols and child, Miss France* Johnson, Mrs. Bernard and children. Rev. Mr. Page, of Shreveport, and his two children, and a son of J udge AVells. Among those who were saved were Mrs. Page, (wife of the Rev. Mr. I'age,) Mr. and Mrs. Piles of Texas, Miss Godwin of Illinois, Mr. P.. I*l. Johnson, wife and daughter, Mr. Benj. O. Ware, Mr. N. 11. Batesman, W. Cul vert of Kentucky, J. M. Yancey and AV.
