Matamoros. June 15, 1846
McCullough’s company ot Hangers
started ofT thin morning on a scouting ex
pedition to ths interior. Mr. Kendall
went #hh them.
♦ ♦ » * ♦ ♦
It amused the passengers very much
yesterday, a.s we ascended tl e Rio
Grande, to sec the Mexicans Hock down
to the rivpr from the ranchos. Ihr y stood
and looke I at our craft in silent winner.
Towards night we saw numbers of them
bathing—young misses and voung men,
O J *. 1 m
daddies ami mammies, tumbling about in
the water like so many porpoises. They
are expert swimmers. 1 saw one very
pretty looking girl of about seventeen,
standing quietly with the water to her
arm-spits: suddenly she made a dive and
remained out of sight a long lime, when
her head bobbed out of the water some
twenty yards from where she disappeared.
After sundown the families were most
ly collected on the river bank, quietly
eating their simple supper—most of the
children were eating green corn—and
men and women smoking cigarettes. —•
The American bank of the Rio Grande is
generally higher than the other, hut is not
nearly as thickly populated. We saw
some large fields of corn mixed with cot
ton, hut did not see a single person at
work, or one who looked as if he had been
working. The soil along the river is ex
r» “
haustless and would produce almost any
thing. Tueir corn and cotton, though
planted thick and never hoed, produce—
the coin particularly—very well.
Camp, Matamoros, Jane 16, 1846.
After waiting ten days for a mail, the
cheering news is spreading about camp
this morning that an express came in last
night from Point Isabel, from which we
judge that a mail has arrived from New
Orleans. It is to be hoped that the news
papers have arrived regularly, for since
rny arrival here I have never been able
to get hold of anything like a regular file.
Did you ever see a wooden hat? Yes
terday morning one of the Mexican horse
dealers had on a real dug out hat. It was
shaped precisely like the hat they always
wear, viz: broad brim and pointed crown,
and had been painted and glazed, so that
it looked like one covered with oil cloth.
It w’as all in one piece, and had been
carved out of a gum tree —the brim being
as thin as j ossible and retaining its
strength. • It probably weighed about six
pounds, with no lining. No '‘white man”
would have worn such a machine an hour,
for a golden hat.
A Soldiers Burial. —The Mexicans
gave us a sample yesterday of the manner
in which they bury their dead soldiers.—
It must, in justice to them, however, be
remembered that this occurred in a cap
tured city, where they are not allowed to
use their arms. The dead man was
brought out of a hospital, in a long wood
en box covered w ith coarse black muslin.
Four men acted as bearers, each smoking
a cigarretto. They were preceded, some
ten yards, by a hand, consisting of a horn,
clarionet, flute and fife. Close behind the
corpse followed a little boy, with a brand
of fire and bis pockets crammed full of
“India crackers.” These he pulled out,
one after another, and touched lltemoff on
bis chunk of fire. Next followed a crowd
of women smoking cigars. The bearrers
stopped several times, changed their
burden to a fresh shoulder and lighted
theircigars. If a well-bred Mexican here
offers you a cigar, he first lights it for |
vou and gives it a few whits, then hands
it over very gracefully to your own lips.
The women of course do the same.—
Dr. Craig, the head Surgeon of the army
of occupation, has, I see, invited the peo
ple of Matamoros to be vaccinated against
the small pox. The faces of a large pro
portion of the people show ho.v direfully
the city has been scourged by this dread- ,
ful disease. As 1 have already once re
marked, the surgeons of our little army
out here have been kept very busy, be
tween our own sick and wounded and
those of the enemy. The medical start
of Gen. Tavlor’s command is said to be
as efficient as any in the world. Not only
have they shown great skill in this cam
paign, but their gallantry on the battle
field has excited the admiration of the
armv. Dr. Fames, surgeon of the 2d
i Dragoons—as one instance out of many 1
to show the coolness and bravery of the j
medical staff—was among the first at the j
side of Major Ringgold w hen lie fell at i
Palo Alto—placed that officer in his wa
gon, and removed him out of the reach of
the enemy’s fire. Major Ringgold, you
; may recollect, was taken to Point Isabel,
| where he lived just long enough to hear
! the result of the second battle, which af
forded him great pleasure. H.

LATER FROM YUCATAN.
The hark Tarquin, Capt. Harding, ar
rived yesterday from Yucatan, having
sailed from Laguna on the 19th inst.
c*
We learn by a gentleman who came
passenger on the Tarquin, that on the
16lh inst. the U. S. brig Somers, Corn’r.
Ingraham, received despatches from the
Yucatan Congress, proclaiming their neu
tralityinthe pending war, and offering
their services to furnish the Somers with
w hatever the vessel might require. The.
Somers immediately took on board seme
supplies, and sailed the same night to join
the squadron off Vera Cruz.
The letter which is appended hereto,
from our ever kind and courteous corres
pondent, gives a clear idea of the design
of the visit of the Somers, and of the pre
sent anomalous position of Yucatan to
wards this country and Mexico.
The Yucatan schooner Ventura sailed
from Campeuchy on the 18th inst. for this
po-t
In another column will he found a ma
nifesto on Ihe purtol the foreign residents
ot Laguna, many of whom aie Ameri
can-, in regard to the recent attempt of
Bruno and others to revolutionize Tabas
co, deriving their resources from Yuca
tan. The manifesto best unfolds lire
: whole subject.
[Special Correspondence of the Picayune.]
Campeaghv, June 12, 1846.
The U. S. brig Somers arrived at Cam
peachy on thedili of June, with instruc
tions to pay the usual respects to the au
thorities, and to present assurances of
sympathy and friendly dispositions of the
United States towards the young Republic.
A note from Capt. Ingraham, addressed
to our Consul, in which an inquiry was
made as to the position which Yucatan
would assume in the present war between
the United States and Mexico, was re-
I ferred by our Consul to the Supreme Go
i vernment at Merida, and deemed of so :
; much importance hy the President as to
i be placed before the Extraordinary Con
| gress now in session. The Congress by
a large vole instructed the Government to
reply to the American Consul, that Yuca
tan is in an actual state of separation fiotn !
the rest of the Republic, having resumed j
her sovereignty according to the decree of i
the Legislative Assembly of the Ist of j
January last, the tenor not having been J
altered or annulled, and consequently es- i
fective in all its parts; and that the people i
| of Yucatan are assembled, hy means of i
; their Representatives, in Extraordinary
| Congress, to deliberate on the future posi
; tion of the Peninsula.” The Govern
| menl also hold out an intimation that they j
j are willing to treat with anyone properly
i authorized by the United States. The
: subject-matter of this resolution of Con
i gross was considered in a popular meeting
i at Campeachv, and approved hy a vole of
1 80 to 4.
! The present situation of Yucatan with '
regard to Mexico, is a perfect anomaly,
1 and I do not think that it is probable that j
' she will change her present undetermined i
; position for one of absolute independence. '
1 If Mexico were to shut her ports against
i the products of Yucatan, the latter would
( lose her only possible market and would
i of course he impoverished and ruined,
j Safi is her principal article of export,
: which, us a province of Mexico, she is i
permitted to introduce into tho other ports I
of Mexico under a nominal duty. She is
: thus enabled to compete with foreign salt, j
which pays a larger tax. This she can !
i do in no other market where there are not I
! discriminating duties in her favor. Yu
j catan is a large importer from the United ;
i States. Thirty thousand bhls. flour enter ;
the port of Campeachv annually. From I
us she derives the very food of herpopu- j
latiou. In exchange for our flour she
sends little else than silver. All her sil
ver is derived from Mexico from the sale :
of her salt. To shut the Mexican ports ;
against her permanently, is to deprive ,
1 Yucatan of the means of buying the ne- |
cessariesof life, and the United Stales of
1 a very valuable customer.
| Yucatan in order to avoid the exaction
of the Central Government, and more es
- the unequal application of the I
tariff of 1836, once before separated her- |
self from Mexico. The war of 1843 en- j
sued, which eventuated in the conclusion
of a satisfactory treaty with Santa Anna, j
This treaty was afterwards repudiated, j
Deputies from Yucatan arrived in Mexico j
when the Government of Santa Anna was
tottering to its fall. The Provisional Go
' vernment of Mexico decided upon an ex
amination of ail the acts of Santa Anna,
and among them the treaty with Yucatan !
came under discussion. The House of
Representatives disapproved of it by a I
large vote, but before it could be finally I
acted upon by the Senate, Paredes had
overturned the Provisional Government j
and placed himself in the Chair of State. I
The Deputies of Yucatan receiving no ■
satisfactory answer from Paredes, re
turned to their Government.
| In the mean time the Slates of Yucatan
j declared their separ«*ion from Mexico,
1 and arranged for the Extraordinary Con
j gress now in session.
The subject of declaring the absolute
independence of the Peninsula and a final
separation from Mexico has been dis
cussed w ith great warmth, but it is easy
to see that there will be great reluctance
to sever forever the bonds which bind
j them to Mexico.
j They will endeavor to preserve a neu
trality during this war, and then rely upon
ihe.lr finesse to conciliate Mexico, so as
still to have the advan'ages ofiier ports.
It is the policy of the United States to
encourage such a position rather than one
of absolute independence.

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO.
REVOLUTION IN JALISCO.
Byway of Brazos Santiago we received
yesterday a copy of El Locomotor of Ve
ra Ciuz. of the Bth inst., which is four
days later than the advices received hy
the Falmouth. The news is important
and confirms our former speculations and
anticipations.
A revolution has broken out in the im.
portant Department of Jalisco. It com.
menced the morning of the 20ih May, in
the city of Guadalajara. The battalion
of L agos, followed hy other bodies ol
military and by the enthusiastic populace,
attacked the palace of the Governor.——
The assault was so prompt that the defen
ders had scarcely time for a single dis
charge of artillery, hy which one man
only was killed unci one wounded. The
cry of the assailants was ‘Long live the
Republic, and death to a Foreign Piince.’
Some of the troops at the Palace recogni
zed friends among I fie assailants and re
fused to fire upon them. A company from
San J nan de los Lagos joined the insur
gents, and very soon after the soldiers
composing the garrison, so general was
the disaffection. Sorhe of the leaders of
the Government troops were arrested to
save them from the fury of the insurgents
—among others. Gen. Galindo and the
e.x-Governor, Don Antonio Escovedo.—
Some further skirmishing took place be
tween the insurgents and some troops of
cavalry in the pay of the Government,
and preparations were making on both
sides for a general engagement the next
; day, w hen Gen. Francisco Duque, who
had taken the command of the Govern
ment troops, proposed a parley, with a
view to spare the effusion of blood. Com
missioners were appointed on each side,
and the result of the deliberations was
! I .La t Gen. Duque, with the officers and
j troops under his command, were allowed
I to retire with the honors of war, they
I pledging themselves to retire at once
| from Guadalajara, and the Department
j of Jalisco, of which it is the capitol, and
I proceed immediately to the city of iVlexi
i co hy a route to he designated for them.
COMPLIMENTARY OPINIONS.
That there is no love lost between the
I two Generals, Gaines and Scott, is amply
manifested in the following extracts from
their respective correspondence. It will
he seen that both gentlemen are remark
ably “spicy” in their epithets. Read:
Gen. Gaines’ opinion of Gen. Scott.
“Having good reason to believe that
1 my claim will he opposed by Major Gen
i e'-al Winfield Scott, an officer who has
! been for many years my junior, who lam
| sure has labored for more than a quarter
of a century past with far more zeal to
cover me with calumny, and defeat my
efforts to be employed in any service like
ly to redound to the safety and glory of
of my country, than he has ever labored
to provide for tfie national defence, and to
| defeat Iks invading foe. I have deter
mined to submit my claim to the President
of the United Stales and the Secretary of !
1 War, confidently trusting to their known ;
| wisdom and justice fora decision which ;
will prove to the army and the nation that ;
the rights of the unpretending soldier, al- !
; ways found upon the frontier when me- !
; naced by wars, will be as much respected j
as those of the political tactician , long ac
customed to cringe and crouch in and |
about the political Metropolis, sacrificing |
the interests and honor of the service at i
; the shrine of that morbid thirst for the i
Presidency, which has, unhappily, for a ;
long time past turned the heads of many
worthy chiefs of cliques from their appro- *
priate pursuits, to the great annoyance j
of the good people of the Union, and the I
neglect of their best interests; a thirst for !
high otfice which has in some cliques
| raged even more in favor of the British
| views of abolitionism than for placing oar
' sea-ports in a state of defence against the
assaults oj British war steamers.”
Gen. Scott’s opinion of Gen. Gaines. |
If I had been placed upon a court or
jury to try Gen. G. in the last ten or more !
years, for any crime—conduct unbcconti- \
ing an officer and gentleman, mutiny, !
breach of orders, or murder—l should 1
have acquitted him, no matter how clear
the proof of the crime, on the ground of 1
i partial insanity at least; and hence it |
would he against honor and humanity to
ask to have him brought to trial.
The remedy for General Gaines’ irre
gularities, arising mainly, as I am in i
charity bound to suppose, from insanity,
or dotage, is to place him on an indefinite
. leave of absence. This course f have
repeatedly recommended in the last three
years.
Respectfully submitted to the
ot War. WINFIELD SCOTT.
AMERICAN SENATORS IN A LONDON PAPER.
The following sketches of some of the
leading members of our Senate, are from
a Washington letter in the London Morn,
ing Chronicle, written in a style which
many of our readers will recognize as
that of a well known and favorite letter
writer—N. P. Willis—
I did not arrive in Washington till as.
ter the discomfiture of the “war party,” !
and in the calm which succeeded there
was no oratory awoke. I pa-sed a morn
log in looking at the Senate in doliber.
alive session, however. To one who came
wilh a traveler’s experience of disap.
pointment in the looks of great men, this
body of senators would, I think seem a
rare collection of impressive physiogno
mies. Indeed you have hut to know tho
ordeals through which men pass to arrive
here, to know that most of them a respirits
(good or bad) of mark undeniable, and
even where nature has neglected, as site
sometimes does, to repeat the inner seal
upon the outer man, these trying ordeals
have done it legible for her. They have
ail the look of men who have done more
than their share of thinking and .streg
gling, hoping and fearing; though on the
faces of some of the least noble end wor
thy one finds Byron's recognition of those
who have
“Sinn’d in some ether world, and this is Hell.*'
You have seen Webster in England, and
though his ‘Olympian front’ is the finest in
the Senate, yet this is the only company
in which I ever saw him where he stood
supposably‘among his fellows.* Mr. Al
len, the Thraso of the war party, who
speaks with bloody hands,(literally knock,
ing off the skin from his knuckles by beat,
ing his desk at hi.s last argument,) looks
like a cross between William Pitt and an
angry cockatoo—a tall, peering, wedge
nosed, cadaverous, thiu-lipp’d specimen
of irascible timidity. He walks wilh a
ready-sot-inauguration kind of gait, and,
palpably, in every thread he weaves, has
thetowofhis menial rope walk fastened
to tho presidential chair. Mr. Critten
den, of Kentucky, whose able crashing of
this fire-work comet, a few days since,
was 50 much relished by men ©fall par
lies, is a man of middle stature and plain
exterior, but with a presence expressive
of thorough honesty and inevitable pen
etralion. Me is, perhaps, the most gen
erally respected and esteemed member
of the Senate. Mr. Dallas, the Speaker,
(a cidevant hel homme ) is a man of dignity |
and ability, hut with his small regular
features, and massy white hair, he looks
like a promoted Antinous in the chair of
Rhadarnanthus. There are several very
elegant men in the Senate. Mr. Archer
and Mr. Haywood more particularly, and
there are two or three of the elder mem
hers who, seated in the House of Lords,
would really look picked by nature to i
grace the coronets of dukes—Ashly of |
Arkansas, for example, and Mangurn, of |
North Carolina—both men of great ar- j
istocracy of presence.
Mr. Calhoun is by much the most sin- 1
gular-looking man in the Senate. Great i
statesman, exemplary man, and honest j
| patriot as he is, he looks, at the first i
glance, like a phrenzied Indian prophet, j
breathing after supernatural conflict.— I
He is tall and thin. His hair and heard |
are gray, wiry and neglected. His sal
low complexion and seamed features '
are impressed with self reliance, and a ;
superiority more forgetful than disdain- |
ful of others. He sits in the Senate like j
a Lucifer, whose thoughts of rebellion had |
been overruled—powerful and spotless,
but still brooding and dreaded.
Mr. Cassis another of the senators of !
whom you have lately heard a great deal, i
j He is a large, fine looking man, with the
| air of one “born to authority”—a stamp
; from nature, that has been recognize in
: his various past offices, asgovernor, for
! eign minister and Senator, and in his
I present prominence as a candidate for the
| presidency. Benton, of Missouri, whose
late unexpected secession from the “Fifty- j
; four-fortys” to the “Forty-nine” threw ;
| such important weight into the peace par. ;
i ty, is a stiffened and ruse likeness of Louis 1
| Phillippe. Houston, late president of Tex- ;
; as, is a powerfully built, breadthy, frank
featured man who looks indigenous to a
1 prairie, and born to popularity with the
I uproarious. He appears in the street,
i wearing loosely on his shoulders a Mexi
j can blanket, a premonitory symbol (say
some) ofthe “annexation,” upon the pro- j
mise of which he is to base his claims to I
j the presidency. These are the senatois j
; whose names have been prominent in the '
I late question so interesting to England, j
I Perhaps the news of the coming debates j
; may give occasion for mention of others |
hereafter.
i Cotton Bulwarks. —Tradition informs j
I us, perhaps truly, that General Jackson’s j
1 defences at New Orleans were chiefly 1
bales of cotton. The idea has been im- j
proved by a correspondent of the Boston ;
Post, writing from on board the steam fri- j
1 gate Mississippi, who proposes to cannon
ad#4nd destroy the fortress of San Juan
i d’Ulua with ships fortified or made shot
i proof in the manner following : ‘
“Place bales of cotton on the outside
of the vessels, by moans of hammock
hooks. The hooks should be email but
etout, with a screw on one end; and they
be fixed on the outside ofthe whip without j
the least damage to the ho!). By hanging j
the cotton bales on theve hooks, you would ;
make the ship wiiot and shell proof and !
aiso proof against Dot shot. A dozen res. 1
sels could he fitted in this wav in 24 1
hours, while lying-oTGreen Island, about ■
6 miles from Vera Cruz. Five to six I
thousand bales would be sufficient. If ;
this suggestion were presented to a hoard !
of officers I am satisfied that nine or ten i
would approve it. At any rale, I feel so i
{ confident that I urn willing to pay tho
freight of ail the ootion from New Or
leans to Vera Cruz, out of try own pock
et, if it should not exceed @SOOO, if tho
plan Is sdop'ed.”
Tho cotton hales might indeed protect
lh© ships, hut the great question is, what
effect would be produced on the walls of
the castle hy the cannr.nading. It is said,
by military engineers of eminence, that
the castle might he pounded with canmn
bails and Paixhan shot for a month, or six
months, to no purpose. The successor
tho French was entire!? owing to nome
lucky shells, which reached tho mage,
zincs and blew them up; but these mags.
zineaars now rn,tde shell-proof. IV. Y.

■ Jl the most durable, the most convenient, the
j rto-t pcnaerful. all things considered,) th?
i chsn-nest and Lest Cciian Packing Press in th j
I World.
j Thu Pres* L»s now been in fr.tir years—se\ -
: era! hundreds of them are in successful operation.
In one that has been in usa about two year?,
i there has been pricked, thousand Bales of
! Cotton ! and it work? better iff possible) note, than
i when first pnt up. Not one dollar has been cx
! pended uu it in repairs—nor ever will be, if well
used.
All thor* persons whobave tried them, have de
cided to keep then tknr life tin#, and then hand
tltem down to thetr children io the third find fourth
generations. Not an individual that ka? seen then
in ure but what pronounces them "just tkething.”
I challenge tbs world to disprove these state
-1 ments. Now, can as much be said of any other
Machine ever made? And yet Igo still further ;
when required, I will pot up the Press on the plan
tation, and if it does not answer the purpose, will
make no charge.
And again—being well awaro that the planters
have but little confidence in nrn things, from tbo
fact that nine out of ten are ' Yankee tricks,” in
tended to deceive, J havn been to the trouble and
expense to lit up an establishment in Macon, with
several Presses, for re-packing Round Bales into
Square, and to show to the planters that the Press is
ju t the thing they want. These Pfcsscs are noto,
and will lie k*pt in daily use, and open to inspec
tion. Now, therefore, to induce the planter to
make an examination, I give below a certificate,
signed by nfsv> of the many who Lave very kindly
offered mo their names, since 1 started my Presses
in Macon.
j To prevent Bid work, end all sort «f meddling
j or tampering with iho Machines, I have them ail
\ made under my own direction, and sold at oneprioa
! All those wishing to give them a trial, will pleaso
! give their names to rny Agents who cal! upon them,
i or send them to the Commission House, where
| they wish to go for the Machine, in order that the
Agent may It prepared for them, otherwise they
may be delayed in gening a Machine when It is

FOH DYSPEPTICS.
THESE BITTERS are purely a vegetable
compound, and are offered to the pub
| lie from a principle of benevolence, under the full
est conviction that they will lie found a safe and
j sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been
] triumphantly tested not only by some of the most
: respectable families in the State, who have furnish
ed ample testimony as to their decided excellence,
I but also by the proprietor, who, for ten years, suf-
I sered all ihe gloom incident to that distressing dis
! ease. They possess tiie peculiar excellence denied
i to most other Bitters, of not proving injurious by
! continued use. They contain not a single deletc
! nou' ingredient, and, as seen from the direction*
j which accompany each bottle, may he given with
entire safety to an infant in the month
If the Colleton is taken regularly and persever
ingly,(vvidi his highly important in stubborn cases.l
I they will, soon alter the use of a few bottles, bo
■ found to act on the system like a charm—Tin parting
i vigor to the stomach, bracing iho nerves, cleans
ing the Inter, promoting digestion, increasing the
; appetite,strengthening ihe chest and voice, rciiev
■ ing pains, cramps, and stitches in the breast. They
are also most excellent for cholera morbus, habitual
constipation,sea-sickness, nausea, proceeding from
whatever cause, in cases of general debility, it
has proved one of the best, remedies, and is there
fore highly recommended to elderly people, literary
gentlemen,students,and other- of sedentary habits.
Taken in small doses frequently through the day,
they have checked the most violent diarrhoea, and
likewise been administered with the happiest effect
I in cholera infantum.
In all the foregoing complaints, these Bitters will
lie found effectual if persisted in, and taken accord
ing to the directions which accompany each bottle.
! And although it has been testified by several that
| they are excellent in many others, yet in none oilier
; than those above enumerated, is the proprietor will
; ing to vouch fur their efficacy. They were prima
-1 nly and solely intended to cure Dysj>epsia.
The Colleton Bitters have been eight years he
: fore the public; and in consequence of the increas
ing demand for this vuluable medicine, the prnprie
; tor has entered largely into the business—butties
i are procured having ‘'Colleton Bitter ’’moulded in
them—they are also numbered, sealed and siamp
: ed with an appropriate motto. Price $ I per buttle.

Os the Colleton Enters— "(purely a Vegetable
Compound ’’ and which, from the confidence J Lave
in the character and integrity of the maker and pro
prietor thereof, 1 verily believe to be true,) i en
tertain the must favorable opinion. Several of my
personal friends and acquaintances, long afflicted
with Dyspepsia, have assured me that they have
found these Hitlers better than any other medicine
they ever tried, for that distressing disease. And I
take the pleasure further to stale that I have wii-
I n*»«-dt!ie excellency of these Bitters, in nausia,
; t,i«’k-headache, and bowel complaint; in this fort
i particular, I have seen the Colleton repeatedly and
successfully tested among the children of my own
! house-hoid. No family ought to be without this in
: vaiuable medicine.
