TRAVELLING J1GEJYT
FOR THE NATIONAL WHIG.
State of Maryland?Mr. Win. B. Sasscer.
(0- Our Whig friends in Maryland are re
spectfully requested to giv? our Agent, Mr.
Sasscer, " aid and comfort" on bis patriotic
mission. We commit him to their best care.
K5* We ask the attention of our readers to our
City article of to-day. It is from the pen of one of'
the beat writers in the coantry. He will commune
with the public every day, and through his pen the
country will obtain in advance the intended move
ments of this Tory Administration.
CCj* Mr. Packenham's sale of furniture yesterday
waa attended by a large concourse of the beauty and
fashion of the District. All the foreign Ambaasa
dora and their familiea were in attendance, and
among their ladies nene more the observed than the
beautiful Madame Bodieco. Though nothing very
splendid was exhibited for sale, yet things brought
immense prices, for the ladies seemed determined to
vie with each other who ahould bid highest. The
fact, that the articles sold belonged to the British
Ambassador, no doubt, had a sanctifying effect upon
them in the eyes of many.
C/* Tha. Tory Union has the hardihood to assert
that General Taylor has no civil exeprience. You
said the same thing of Gen. Jackson, and the people
showed what value they set upon your assertion 1>y
making the old Hero their President. They will
vindicate Taylor from your defamation in 1818 !
"" ' * 4
(?/*The Tory Union, thinks that the nomination
of (*en. Fay lor by the Whigs places them in a ques
tionable predicament because they know nothing of
his views of the Administration of the government.
The whigs of the country know that the old Hero is
and a'ways has been a Whig, and that would be
enough for them if they had no other proof of his
political opinions ;-~but they know that he has en
countered the most bitter hostility of President Polk
and his Tory administration, and that is quite suffi
cient to sanctify him as an honest Whig in the eyes
of all disinterested men. Hence it is not the Whigs
of the country who are in a questionable predicament.
It is the Tory party!
S3" The Tory Union asserts that the Whigs are
unable to state, on reliable authority, the opiniona of
Gen. Taylor on any one of the great measures of our
public policy. They have the authority of the pres
ent Tory administration, in their peraecution of him,
that he is opposed to their opinions on all great pub
lic measures, and that is enough for them- Surely,
the Unipn will consider that authority a reliable
one!
Because the People every where are proclaim
ing their determination to bring Gen. Taylor out of
^he very battlefield into the Presidency, the Tory
Union howls moat bitter fomentations. We point
the Union for consolation to its own language:
"The Presidency belongs to no man. It is the pro
perty of the People." They will give it to whom
they please! -
* ?
03* Father Ritchie?forgetful old soul?Is shock
ed at the conduct of the Whiga in taking up a mili
tary chieftain for President, aeeing that they have so
strongly denounced military men for that office.
Surely Mr. Ritchie will allow us the poor privilege
of doing as he did once. He denounced the election
of a military man to the Presidency as the greatest
curse that could fall on the country, and afterwards
turned round and lent his whole aid to elect Jack
son I
? '
(Xj* Mr. Ritchie calls the Whigs noisy office-hun
ters. Satan rebuking sin!
EXTRACT
FROM A WASHINGTON LETTER.
"You may rely upon what I have already
assured you in relatiou to the mission of Mr.
Trist. He ha9 gone with the offers and over
tures for peace; and our Generals are ordered,
if Santa Ana will not come to terms, to push
on the war vigorously f But from this are we
to believe that the administation means or wishes
to end the war forthwith ? Far from it! Mr.
Polk, Mr. Marcy, Mr. Walker and Mr. Buch
anan find that they are in for it, and that as
Jong as they can keep in, why the man whose
popularity they all dread, Gen. Zachary Tay
lor, will be kept in also, and may, by hook or
by crook, become less popular with the people
than he now is! Depend upon it if the high
functionaries are not too good to connive at the
abominable act of getting Santa Ana and his
jscore of Generals back Irom banishment into
Mexico, where they could render, and where
they did render, the greatest "aid and comfort"
to the Mexican army, they are not too good to
wish the war prolonged as the best means of
not only keeping General Taylor out of the
Presidential field, but of giving their political
friends high. offices, rich contracts and good
opportunities to makefortunes!
NOT BAD.?We do not know that the fol
lowing has appeared in the government offi
cial. If not, it is singularly remiss : ?

vice and consent of the Senate.)

The United States steamship Mississippi,
Capt. Wood, arrived at New Orleans on the
evening of the 22d inst. from Vera Cruz, from
whence she sailed on the 14th inst. The New
Orleans Picayune and Delta received by her
their correspondence, with a file of that inva
luable journal, the Vera Cruz "American Ea
from which the extracts below are made.
From the New Orleans Picayune.
Camp at 3a* Juan, April 14, 1847.
I arrived at this camp at 11 o'clock last night, the
road fiom Vera Crux running for the moot port
through heavy eand. The division of Gen. Worth,
from the excessive heat and wearisome road, suffer
ed incredibly.
The news in camp is stirring. An express has
come down from Gen. Twiggs to the effect that San
to Anna was before him, at Cerro Cordo, with
15,000 men, as near as could be judged from recon
noisances made by Capt. Hardie and other officers
of dragoons.
Lieut. Col. J. E. Johnson has been seveiely but
not mortally wounded while examining 8anta An
na s works, which appear to be a- succession of
breastworks on the eminences in the vicinity of
Cerro Cordo. Eveiything would now go to show
that 8anta Anna is determined to make a bold stand.
A dragoon who had been sent down express by
Gen. Twiggs, was yesterday found shot by the road
side just beyond this. His papers had not been
touched. The Mexicans are playing a bloody, and
at the same time bolder game than is usual for them,
as it is thought they have killed no less than fifty of
our men within the last three days on the road.
Gen. 8cott stopped last night nine miles from
this?to night he will reach Gen. Twiggs' position
If Ssnta Anna is as strong as he is represented, he
will probably will not be attacked for for two or three
G. W. K.
? [Correspondence of the N. O. Daily Delta.
V*?a Chcz, April 13, 1847. .
Eds. Delta?As I Stated in my letter of this mor
ning, the Brigade of Gen. Worth took up the line
of march for Jalapa, but, from rather sudden indis
position, the General did not leave with them.?
About one o'clock an express reached him, with the
important information that the column of General
Twiggs fell in with enemy at Cerro Cordo, a strong
position beyond Puenta Nacional, and a skirmish had
taken place between Twiggs' advance guard and the
enemy, in which Captain Johnson, Toponraphical
Engineer, was several wounded, anJ several others.
In half an hour after the reception of this news.
General Werth had mounted his horse and was off
?so sudden, indeed, that I miaed him, notwith
standing I repaired to his quarters to gather the par
ticulars as soon as I heard it. ' ?
There is no doubt at all but that Santa Anna,
with from 12,000 to 15,000 men, is between us and
Jalapa. It is conceded on all sides. But if Gen.
Twiggs does not whip him, he will at least keep
him in check until General Scott, who left yester
day, reaches him, which will be to-morrow night*
Major General Patterson left here with two brigades
of volunteers on Friday, and he has, no doubt, reach
ed the advance before this time. *
Gen. Twiggs has between 2500 and 2700 men
choice ones, too?under his'command, and I enter
tain little fear for his safety. Gen. Patterson march
ed with Shields' and Pillow's brigades, and all the
force except the garrison of the town and Quitman's
brigade, are either at the scene of action or on the
road to it. ^
? Gen. Scott, I think, was pretty well satisfied, be
fore his departure, that Santa Ana was in the neigh
borhood of Jalapa, and was making good time to
wards that point before the express reached him.
A terrib e battle will be fought at Cerro Gordo,
or there will be little or no fighting. An intelligent
Mexican told me to-night, that there would be no
fight, and that 8anta Anna bad with him four pro
minent members of the National Congress, with the
aid of whom he hopes to negotiate a peace.^ I be
lieve truly, that it is the wish of his Excellency to
end the stiife, but whether he will embrace this oc
casion, (which, by the way, is an excellent one,) I
cannot say.
The horses of the Tennessee cavalry arrived to
day at Tampico; and aa soon as they are Isnded I
expect Quitman will leave heie.
The aquadron captured at Alvarado aixty pieces
of heavy cannon, all serviceable and in fine order,
with the exception of three.
Mxxico, March 29, 1847.
Editors Delta?The city of the Montezumaa is in
a most extraordinary aituation at thiapresent writing.
Farias and the "Constitutionalists" -had a civil war
of twenty-three daya' duration, in which nobody was
killed, and neither party lost or gained an inch of
ground. That is, no one wss killed of the fighters,
unless we count some accidental deaths; but a great
number of harmless citizens lost their lives by the in
cessant firing up and down the streets, with which
the belligerents amused themselves instead of going
within reach of f ach other.
8anto Ana wrote lovingly to both partiea, and did
his best to urge them to eat each other .up, but as
soon aa he could reach the city with aome force, he
threw them all overboard. He is playing for the I
Dictatorship, snd is, in fact, clothed with abaolute !
poWer at thia moment. He haa induced the clergy
to aid him with money to meet, and, aa he says, to
exterminate Scott and the "perfidious invadars."
But hia plan undoubtedly is to make peace, while he
u yet entrenched behind American bayonet* and
perhaps with the help of American gold, he will put
his enemies where, they cannot interfere with him.
As soon aa he has a clear field, he will uae his army
to aeiae the possessions of the church, to maintain
and increaae it as a foundation to a throne. Whatp
ever he pretende, he hae hu eye on the church prop
erty, and has twice put forward Gome* Farias as a
cat's-paw to^rasp it, but when he found the clergy
too strong for him, he made no scruple to sacrifice
his todl and come out on the other side. B
HuBUDAITIM OF THK Auttf,
Vera Cruz, April 11, 1847,
Major General 8cott, General-in-chief of the ^.r
miee of the United States of America, to the good
people of Mexico:
PROCLAMATION.
Mexicans/?At the head of a powerful army,
soon to be doubled^-a part of which is advancing
upon .your capital?and with another army under
Major General Taylor, in march from Salullo to.
warda 8an Luie Potosi?I think myself called upon
to address you. - .
Mexican t!?Americans are not your enemies; but
the enemiee, for a lime, of the men who, a year ago
misgoverned you, and brought about this unnatural
war between two great Republics. We are the
frienda of the-peaceful inhabitants of the country we
occupy, and the friends of your holy religion, its hi
erarchy and ita priesthood. Tbo same church is
found in all parts of our own country, crowded with
devout Catholics, and respected by our government,
laws and people.
For the Church of Mexico, the unoffending inha
bitants of the country, and their property, I have
from the first done every thing in my power to place
them under the aafeguard of martial law against
the few bad men in this army.
My orders, to that effect, known to all, are precise
and rigorous. Under them, several Americans have
already been punished, by fine, for the bexefit of
Mexicans, besides imprisonment, and one, for a
rape, has been hung by the neck.
Is this not a proof of good faith and energetic dis
cipline ? Other proofs shall be given as often as in
juries to Mexicans may be detected.
On the other hand, injuries committed by indivi
duals, or parties of Mexico, not belonging to the pub
lic forces, upon individuals, small parties, trains of
wagons and teams, or of pack mules; or any other
person or property belonging to this army, contrary
to the laws of war?shall be punished with rigor: or
if the particular offenders be not delivered up by
Mexican authorities, the punishment shall fall upon
entire cities, towns or neighborhoods.
Let, then, all good Mexicans remain at home, or
at their peaceful occupations; but they are invited
to bring in, for sale, horses, mules, beef, cattle, com,
barley, wheat, flour for bread, and vegetables. Cash
will be paid for every thing this army may take or
purchase, and protection will be given to all settlers.
The Americana are strong enough to offer these .as
surances?which, should Mexicans wisely accept
this, war may soon be happily ended, to the honor
and advantage of both belligerents. Then the Ame
ricans, having converted enemiee into friends, will
be happy to take leave of Mexico and return to their
own country. .

THE NATIONAL WHIG.
The National Whig will be what its name indi
cates. It will speak the sentiments of the Whig
Party of the Uhion upon all the questions of public
policy now before the country and to come before
it.
Ij will advocate the election of
Major General
ZACHARY TAYLOR,
Of Louisiana:
the Hero of the Rio Grande, Monterey, and Bue
na Vista, to the next Presidency, for which we be
lieve he has already been nominated by acclama
tion in the hearts of his grateful countrymen. But
while we advocate the election of him who has
proved himself to be the greatest Captain of the
age in a series of battles without parallel in the
annals of warfare, and who, in his despatches has
exhibited a power of intellect and soundness of
judgment unsurpassed in the history of the human
mind, we freely throw open our columns to the
discussion of the merits, bv their friends, of the
other many eminent men, of the Whig party whose
nfemes have been associated with the Presidency.
And while General Taylor is our choice for the
Presidency, whom we believe no earthly power
can prevent the people from elevating unanimous
ly to the first gift in their choice as a token of their
appreciation of his true greatness, we shall be
guided by the voice of the. great Whig party of
which we are but an humble member, and, if it
should, in the course of events, be ordered that
any other pagson than the man of our preference
shall be selected as our candidate, we shall yield
him our cordial support.
The National Wnig will attack at every assaila
ble point, and ceaselessly, all the measures of the
| present administration of public affairs which shall
j-be deemed to be adverse to the interests of -the
country, and will expose without fear or favor the
corruptions of the party in power.
The columns of the National Whig will be open
jo the pens of every Whig in the country for the
discussion of the great political and other questions
of the day, and to every Democratic pen, too, in
terested in enlightning the public mind respecting
the corruptions and imbecility of the men to whom
in an evil hour, the Democratic party intrusted
the power of the Government.

A Curious Discovery has recently been made
in Paris, by means of which all printed sheets
or engravings may be copied in the most per
fect manner. This is effected by transfer
ring them to a lithograpic stone. It would
seem that there is not the least danger of spoil
ing the original in this operation. This inven
tion, which has already been tried, but without
much success, by Senefelder, the inventor of
lithography, is, as may readily be imagined,of
the greatest importance for the re-production
of the engravings of great masters, which can
thus be so well imitated as to be scarcely dis
tinguished from the originals. The low price
at which such copies could be obtained, would
of course be a great advantage, as it would
render popular those master-pieces which at
present only belong to sortie few persons rich
