ROUTE FROM MVTVMOROS TO THE IN

My hear Sir : 11 a vino receiver! a com
munication from rnv friend (J. T. Pell,
Esq., of New York, on a subject which j
at this moment possesses a peculiar in
terest, as regards the progress of onr
arrnv from Mafamoros to the inferior of
Mexico, ! hen leave to submit it to you
with permission to make such disposition
of it as you may deem proper and useful.
This communication which i« here an- I
nexed in the form of quotation will ex
plain itself.
“Some years since, 1 came down from f
Zacatecas, one of the most principal min- !
inn districts of Mexico, hy way of Saltillo I
and Monterev, to Mafamoros, with a wa- i
gon heavily laden with specie. With
seven mules in harness, and abundant
relays driven loose before us, our daily
travel was from eieht to fourteen leagues.
“Carrying a pocket compass, I had the
curiosity to observe the general course of |
the road, to note the towns and ranchos, or
farming villages, the streams as well as
the mountains, and any other objects of
interest, correcting the distance from the
report of the country people hv mv watch
and the previous expet ience of onr rate of |
travel on well known roads. Witb-these j
materials, 1 drew each evening a rough '
map of the day’s journey, adding a few |
short remarks for explanation.
‘•Referring to this note hook. 1 find the :
route I followed differs from any I have i
seen published, which may, perhaps, he \
onlv mn'e tracks. However (his may be, I
1 give my own, which I know lias no seri
ous difficulties for wagons: atri I am quite
sure an army properly ptovided for such
an expedition could carry much heavier
a nil lory than ours is likely to use, not only |
to Monterey, hut quite up to the table land, j

From Cainargo to Monterey l->0
The distance through the Canada , or
mountain defile, from Monterey to the j
nearest outskirts of the plain above, is
fourteen leagues. On the farther side of .
this plain, upon the declivity of a hill
stands the city of Saltillo. Within the }
pass the mountains at times approach
rather near, at others recode perhaps a i
mile and a half from the road, which
winds over bold hills. Towards Monte- I
rev the mountains approach more.closely,
and a stream issues from the gorge which
irrigates the beautiful gardens of the
wealthier inhabitants, running off below
the town, where it is drawn to fertilize
the little patches of the Indians, flowing
round and about their mud and bamboo
huts, watering the banana, the orange,
the pome, granate, the aguacate, chiri
moya, and other fruits and vegetables of |
the tropics, which these poor people car
ry for sale on dookies to Saltillo, which,
being situated on the lofty plains of the
table land, only produces the fruits of the j
nor th—the apple, pear, quince and the i
apricot —with their corresponding vege- j
tables. I trust these poor people will not I
be molested: for neither to them, nor to !
large classes many grades above them, |
are to be attributed the mal administra
tion of their government in which, being
reallv a military despotism, they have no ,
more share than the serfs of Russia.
I am certainly not a little surprised at j
so great a stress being laid upon the dis-
Acuities for troops on a march through
Mexico in the rainy season. An erro
neous idea has crept into the public mind
that during this period rain falls almost
constantly, rendering the roads deep and
impassable. The rainy season commences
in June, with showers at long Intervals,
and does not fairly set in until the middle
and sometimes the latter part of July, va
rying from one year to another in the
quantity which falls as much as happens
with us from summer to summer. I have
even known a year in which there was
I not sufficient rain to produce the slightest
sprig of grass, causing the loss of hun
dreds of thousand of animals on the great
haciendas devoted to rearing them.—
When the rains are most copious, they
do not generally begin until 12 or 1 o’-
! clock, dark clouds rising rapidly over the
heavens, giving sudden and plentiful
showers, in most instances passing away
early, and leaving a bright sunset and a
fine morning.
On two occasions I performed a jour,
ney of near 400 leagues over the great
mountain rangesofthe Cordillera,through
which flow many considerable streams,
to Culliacan, near the Pacific, during un
j usually wet seasons, without having in a
! single instance been caught in the rain. I
It was accomplished hy rising before day
light, and arriving at the stopping place j
for the night before the rain began to fall. !
J Water, at other times very scarce in cer- :
tain localities, was found every where,
good pasture abounded, and the air was
cool: the great heat always abating when
the periodical rains set in. There was )
exemption, too, from dust: nor did I find,
except in rare instances, that the roads
were heavy.
I can easily understand how gentlemen
acquainted mostly with the neighborhood
of she city of Mexico, and the great roar]
- 7 o
from thence to Guanajuato, through what
is called the hajio, should fall into this
mistake. No inconsiderable portion of
the valley of Mexico may be considered a
lake imperfectly drained, since, at a foot
or two beneath the surface, wafer is en
countered at a// seasons. The valley of
j the hajio is pretty much of the same na- |
j ture: so that in both instances the water
| accumulates upon the surface during the j
rains, and renders the roads through 1
“I
these districts at times almost impassable
swamps or lakes. But 1 have seen no- j
thing like this elsewhere. From Cainar
go to Monterey, although there are inter- j
valsof level ground, yet for the most purl
I the road runs over easy hills, and I can
not believe an army would meet with
any obstacle of importance—the only dif
ficulty being the passage of the river San
Juan, which is but a small stream, and
| can oppose nothing insurm'jkmtable if the
j troops carry any provision for such an
! emergency. If (he rains do not prove
i very heavy, it will he found fordable, as
; I parsed it without detention with a load
ed wagon,
I am, dear sir, truly yours,

LETTER, FROM SANTA ANNA.
We published some months ago a letter I
addressed by Gen. Santa Anna to Gen. !
, Tornel, upon his learning of the appoint- ;
| ment of the latter to lie Minister of War.
The letter attracted some attention at the
time, being regarded as remarkably cha
-1 racteristic of the astute ex President. By
1 accident we have come across a second ■
letter from the same distinguished Mexi
can to the Secretary of War, copied from
a Yucatan paper, w here it appears first to
have scon the light. To those who hear
in mind recent events in the career of
Santa Anna—his disavowal of the acts of
his Ministry, upon which he wmuld throw
the odium that led to his own overthrow—
his sudden withdrawal from his troops ;
when lying before Puebla—his capture i
and subsequent imprisonment at Perote—
the letter will require no explanation. It |
is not unreasonable to suppose the -letter
has had some weight with Tornel and
even with Paredes, for since it was writ
ten, Tornel has once at least thrown up
! his portfolio, although subsequently he re- |
sumed it, and Paredes himself lias pro- j
; fessedly yielded his preference fora Mon
archical form of Government and de- i
dared for a Republican representative
i system. The translation of the letter he
low has been hastily made, and if not very
correct, will afford a glimpse of the work
ings of the mind of the former Dictator of
Mexico.
Havana, April 9, 1846.
My esteemed Friend: —ln reply to your
communication of the 29th ult., I have to
state how- great was the pleasure afforded
to me by the news of the concentration of
our forces upon the frontier, and that the
integrity of the Mexican territory would
i be defended with honor; for whatever may
be my situation, and however remote from
my country I may be, I shall not lay aside
my feelings of loyalty towards it, I de
| sire then, that our arms may prevail over
these infamous invaders, and that will be
1 for me a day of glory, on which you may
I communicate to me a victory of the Mexi-
I cans.
In regard to my return to the Republic,
! I assured you in my last communication
that I had taken no determination or step
in the matter; but that if the established
Government, or the august voice of the
nation should call upon me, it would not
be disregarded by me; and that forgetting
my private wrongs, as I had always
; known how to do, I would co-operate to
save the country from the terrible crisis
i in which I this day consider it; because,
beyond a doubt she is this day surrounded
by more difficulties than it has ever before
been plunged in, as every truly Mexican
heart cannot fail to perceive.
In my previous communication I con
gratulated your Excellency upon having
received the important Ministry of War,
and I did so sincerely, because knowing
well your abilities, I considered that they
might contribute to extract the carriage
from the mire— [a sacar el carro del ata.s.
cadero] —and to ward off a thousand evils
from the Republic. To-dav, with the I
same frankness, I address you, and I
would advise that you shouh-i not support
the extravagant course of the provisory
Government; nor indirectlv countenance
the labors of those who dream of the es
tablishment of a throne to be filled with a
foreign prince, nor, in fine, oppose the
f well understood wishes of the people,-he
cause the will of the people is irresistible. ;
! You yourself have seen that I separated
myself fiorn a loyal and brave armv, not
believing it sufficient to contend against |
the public will, which justly or unjustly i
had declared against me, and judging that I
it would be criminal if the cities and the 1
fields should be fruitlessly watered with \
blood; and I did this notwithstanding that i
| rnv own preservation depended upon my i
pursuing my designs. This event is very .
recent, and should not be lost sight of by ;
yon.
I In order that you may fulfil your duty :
with loyalty to Gen. Paredes, it appears
to me indispensable that he should with
draw from the edge of the abyss upon i
which he has placed himself, and into
which he may sink yourself also. This
j system of persecutions against the press i
and against individuals, in the manner in |
which it ftas been adopted; this childish j
espionage, tin’s striving against public i
opinion, is madness and wilful blindness, i
fSay to lfie General with frankness and
' loyalty which so much becomes men of
worth, that lie has fallen into a grave
mistake in issuing hi< anti Rational call
i of a Congress,.and also when he allow-s I
I the people to regard him as tire supporter j
|of monarchical designs. Say to him and 1
with truth, that his interests and those of i
; the nation demand of him to retire from a !
post w hich lie cannot continue to fill with
i out involving his country in great evils,
and exposing himself to unfortunate re
sults; say to him that he should make a
sacrifice of his self-love as I did in the
plains o( Puebla; and that he should de
pose his authority in the hands of that
citizen who possesses the greatest popu- j
larity, and at the same time can bv other \
principles and other methods save this
most unfortunate nation as promptly as j
the extremity of its di-tresses demands. j
'Phis language at this time will appear |
to you violent, because when we occupy j
high posts, the truth flies from us; its ac- |
j cents no longer please. Flattery and I
adulation, even to those the most moderate I
in their w ishes, become pleasing, and thus j
| it is that vve fall into errors which after
| wa nls we lament.
\ our talent and knowledge of men will
enable \ou to appreciate at their true
i value these suggestions of a man of ex
perience, and who has given so many
proofs that he is a good Mexican. The
friendship which yon manifest towards
' me, and which I duly appreciate, makes j
me heg of you in the name of this friend- j
ship that you will open your ears on this i
j occasion; that you will not compromise |
| your reputation hy measures of espionage I
against any person, nor lend your conn- \
tenance to journals to tarnish anv name i
upon which you have lavished ere now a !
thousand encomiums; for however secret- j
j ly these things may be done, they always
| come to light, and it would be painful for
i me that a man to w hom I am indebted for
| his generous offices whilst I was enduring
! suffering and affliction at Perote, should i
compromise the advantages he had oh- I
tained hy conduct so noble. Serve faith- i
fully the General who this day reposes •
| confidence in you, and even 1 myself ad- j
I vise that you should do so as far as honor |
and duty permit; but this should not bin- i
; der you from being consistent and grate
ful towards another General, who, since
1821, has showered upon you marks of ;
friendship and consideration; nor is it a •
sufficient release from those obligations to j
plead that during thayear 1844 that Ge- j
neral separated from his ministers; for
you yourself will confess that there is no
public functionary who is not liable to he
surprised and even deceived. Besides,
the friendly explanations which you have
since received should have led you to |
overlook an act, purely the result of cir- |
cumstances, and which I do not trunk you
would aim to avenge by questionable
measures.
Finally, I have already assured you
that I am reconciled with Gen. Paredes in
consideration of the favors he has con
ferred on yourself and other friends, and
it ought not to surprise him that serving
him in such extreme peril, I should pre
sume to attempt to save him. If my voice
is listened to without prejudice, if he seeks
me as a friend, my arms are open; but if
he does not trust me, and is yet hostile to |
me. although covertly, he should not be
offended that in a defence of the rights of
my country and for his own advantage, I
should pursue the course I deem the most
eligible.
You yourself will recognise in these
lines the language of an old, well-tried
friend, and I do not doubt that we under
stand each other. But I must close, as
the packet is going, and I have not room
for more.

THE INJUSTICE OF PROTECTION FOR
PROTECTION S SAKE.
Free trade men are very willingtopay
| ihi government, but they are not
so willing to pay them-to their fellow
citizens. Duties on all imports which
come in competition with our ow n man
ufactures, do, to a great or less extent,
involve his rank injustice,—this violation
of the fundamental principle upon which
our institutions are based. The mass of
the people, having paid tribute in this
way for thirty years, to a particular class
of their fellow citizens, and to the aggre
gate amo int of hundreds of millions, are j
beginning to ask w irh earnestness, for at
least an abatement of the wrong; and j
with this view, in part, the new Tariff bill
was framed. Yet lojndge from the airs I
of the protectionists, one would suppose
them to be tfie injured party; and withal
to be grievously insulted, because it
is proposed to deduct a little from the
amount of the public bounty which they
have been accustomed to receive. Some
of them pretend not to see how it is that
other classes of citizens are (axed for
their benefit; and such is the blindness
of self inlerest, that it is possible they
may be sincere. If so, we advise them
to read the following paragiaph from a
late number of the London Economist: I
“When the manufacture of beet-root
sugar was introduced into this country,
it was instantly seen that it must be
charged with an excise duly equivalent to
the duty on foreign imported sugar ; for if
not, while the consumer would pay the
same price for it as for a similar quality
of foreign sugar, the revenue would be
robbed of the duly which the foreign su- j
gar displaced by it would have paid.— |
Again, in the case of tobacco, the impos- j
si hi 1i ty of laying a duty on home-grown I
tobacco, in order to prevent the public
paying what the revenue did not obtain,
caused its cultivation to be prohibited al
together. There is no abstract reason ;
why the consumer should not pay an in- I
direct tax on his bread, more than on his !
tea, his sugar, or his tobacco. But then, j
as in all these other cases, at least let the
revenue receive all the consumer pays.^—
If foreign corn be subjected to a duty, like
foreign sugar, then let home-grown corn,
like home made beet-root sugar, be sub.
jected to the sume duty; at least let the
Exchequer obtain the benefit of all the
community pays; let the incidence of a
higher price, consequent on a foreign
duty, be turned to the benefit of the pub- I
lie who pay it, and not to the private gain I
only of the producer.
“To illustrate by an example—sun
po ea duty of 5s the quarter be charged |
on 2 000,0*00 of quarters imported. The I
exchequer would benefit by £500,000; !
but the incidental protection which this i
duty wmuld give to home grown wheat, j
would raise the price of more than 20,-
000,000, of quarters of the latter, for the
sake of the duty on one-tenth the quantity.
Have your £500,000 revenue from w heat
if you will, but levy it on the whole 20,-
000,000 of quarters, and, then, instead of
a duty of ss. being required for that pur- 1
pose, one of sixpence will produce exactly
the same sum, and the objectionable ne
cessity of an incidental protection will be
removed, and by whatever sum price is ;
enhanced to the consumer, the exchequer
will be correspondingly benefited. Or
if there he a special charm in a duty of
ss—if a sixpenny duty might not appear
worth the collection, take the former rale
on all wheat, and then instead of £500,-
000 you will derive a revenue of £5,- j
000,000.”
From what has be’en said, it is plain
that those consuniers who oppose a duty
on tea and coffee, are standing in their
own light. Neither of these articles is
grown in the U. States, and therefore all
that the people pay upon them, goes into
the Treasury. They do not, after pay- j
ing this duty, have to pay four times as
much more to their fellow citizens, on ac- j
count of the enhanced value of similar i
articles produced in the United States, — |
because no such articles are produced.
Ball the revenue were collected from
articles not produced in the United States,
the consumers would only have to pay
$20,000,000 in order to realise $20,000,-
000 of revenue; whereas by levying it
upon articles the like cf which are pro
duced at home, and so enhancing the
price of the domestic as well as the for
eign articles, they doubtless pay a greater
sum annually to the home manufacturers,
than they do to the government. No won
der that the latter exclaim, ‘Good Times!’
when they are thus fattened at the pub
lic expense. And no wonder that those
who pay this expense and have done so
these thirty years, should begin to think ,
it is time to hold up a little. It is, in short,
a great contest between manufacturers
and consumers; and the question al issue
is, whether, and to what extent, the lat
ter shall continue to pay tribute to the
former. The protectionists talk of Com
promise,—as it the new bill were not it
self a Compromise, and a very liberal one
too, between the Tariff of 1842, and the
actual rights of the protected classes.—
Their rights are the same as the rights of
other citizens, —neither more nor less.—
Equity would require, that they who have
so long paid taxes, indirectly, to the man
ufacturers, should now have the compli
; ment reciprocated. But they do not ex
-1 pect this, nor ask it. They do not ask
j (good, easy souls) to be relieved entirely, j
but only partially, from their accustomed
tribute. The protectionists cry, “No!
| N T o!! notan iota: if we are to be denied
I the privilege of taxing our fellow citizens i
i for our own benefit, the country is ruin- :
ed. —Well, suppose we try it—then we
. shall know.
MAJOR RINGGOLD’S REMAINS.
The following is a copy of a letter from
Captain Rando ph Ridgely. relative to the
removal of the remains ol the late gallant
Major Ringgold:
Camp Matamoros, Mexico, }
July 11, 1846.
Gentlemen:—l have the honor to ac
; knowledge the receipt ofyour letter on the
i 7th inst. I proceeded next morning to
j Point Isabel, where are interred the re
! mains of my late lamented triend and
t commanding officer, in order to consult ;
i with Capt. Kenly respecting their removal
to his native State.
1 I regret exceedingly that I could not
meet with Capt. K., as he was at the Bra
zos Santiago, and I could not then be
absent but a day or two. However, 1
have just written to Captain Kenly, ma
king arrangements for an early meeting,
when we will arrange everything. The
physicians recommend postponement,
j The coffin I saw in the safe custody of
the Quarter Master, who will most cheer
fully attend to the shipping of it at anv
I time to Baltimore,
It will bn gratifying to the relatives and
numerous friends of the deceased to know,
and I beg you will inform them, that the
officers at Point Isabel have done every
thing in their power to protect the grave
j of so gallant and distinguished an officer.
I With this view, Captain Ramsey, of the
| Ordinance, suggested that it should be
j surrounded by a railing composed of mus
kets captured from the enemy.
The grave now presents a very unique
and appropriate resting place for a gal
lant soldier,
j Four posts, ornamented as well as our
, limited means would allow, are erected,
j one at eaclt corner, connected by pieces j
of timber, the upper having holes bored :
at every six inches, through which the
musket barrels are placed, resting on the
lower one; the bayonets are all fixed, and
the whole painted black. Appropriate
head and foot boards are erected.
I propose sending this enclosure wiih
the remains, as it would be a most appro- i
priate protection to tiie monument you
! are about erecting in Greenmount Ceme
i tery.
Be pleased, gentlemen, to accept my
; most sincere and heartfelt thanks for the
i very complimentary manner in which
| you are pleased to mention my humble
j set vices in the recent engagements with
j the Mexicans. I am, gentlemen, with |
j great respect, your obedient serv’t,

Raleigh and other places, is to us a
source of just pride, and furnishes an ;
additional motive for zeal and devotion in
our future service.
