From the New Orleans Delta, June 27,
Later from Mexico,
We have received our Mexican papers from
the 30th of May to the Hth of June, inclusive
They contain Little of moment, but we give a
briefl synopsis of their contents.
Mexicasy Guserars —General Arsta was
apprehended on the evening of the 20th of May,
and was inmediately sent, under escor(, tow ard
Acapuleo T'hie reason for his arrest is un
known, General Almonte was still in prison,
end had been removed to the city of Guadalupe,
Me was first accused ol congpiring against the
person of Santa Anna, and aflterward, in some
of the public journals, ol treason--hul « eorre
spondent of the Republican . suggests that the
sole motive tor s imprisonment is, that he s
too great a friend to s country 1o suit the pur
poses of those in power. Gen. Ampudia, hav
g refused to proceed to Cuernavaca, as order
ed, was sent thither under escort,
Derexce oF vur Carivan.—oOn the Ist of
June all the natives of the United States were
ordered to leave the city of Mexico, tor the state
of Jalisco or Morelia, or they would be dealt
with according to the lav of nations
Bodies of the National Guard are sad to be
on their woy and constantly arriving from the
adyoining states, and it is belicved that from
seventeen to twenty thousand troops will be
concentrated for the protection of the city.
Guiritias —Accounts are published fromall
quarters of the formation of guerilia bands, but
hittle 1 said of their performances, and we are
led to suspect that the records of the newspapers
are rather an evidence of what the editors hope
than of what thetr counteymen do. In San Luis
Pot s, they have pubhished & sort of guerilla
eode, providing for the raising of the forces and
their operations : &ll deserters from the army,
fugitiv v (rom justice, conviets for offences not
capilal, vagabends and criminals unapprehend
ed,of all kinds, are invited to join and make
war, as to them may seem good, against the 1.
vaders, capturing property, tuking prisoners, or
Killing, as “2ircumsiances may require,” all who
come in their way.
Tue Cornav.—There is no doubt that the
clergy of Mexico, noiwithstanding the altempts
that arc made 1 tis country to enhist them in
the war, by misrepresenting the imtentions of
our government, ure decidediy in favor of peace.
A letter from Perote complains Litterly of the
imdifierence which tiiey every where mauntfest
to the invasion. Awud in Il Repubbeano of the
4ith of Jane e a long and rather bitter article
upon the condnct of the priesthood, and the ed
tlor takes oecasion to be particularly scvere on
the Archibishop of Puebla, whom he accuses of
wvisiting Gen, Worth, protecting s troops, end
treating the enemies of lis country as hLis
friends.
1a the artie!ls the Bishep ie represented as a
mean of great inluenee in the church, @s a se
vere disciplinartan, and a firm supporter of the
Catholee supremacy. He may,in fuet, be looked
upen os in some sort the head of the Mexican
Church, und his conduct may be regarded as in
dicative of the feelings with which the educated
clergy, and all enhightencd mer not immediate
ly connected with the parties of the capital, re
gard the waur. Their wishes aud their country's
Kiterests, point to peace.
Tue Wak —Since the last azconnts from Gen,
Scott, he bas been reinforeed at Puebla, by ot
Jeast three thousand men. Gen. Cadwallador,
with his command of eighiteen hondred, has
Joimed him ere thes: and Gen. Pillow leit Veras
Crux afew days alterwards with one thousund
strong. These addinons will swell Gen, Seott's
arwy 10 at least ten thousand wen, of all arins
With this force, this bold and energetic com
wander will push on immedmtely to the ey of
Mexico. The evacuation of Julapa, and the
acoption of a new base and line of operations,
will save Seott's anwy from the heavy drain he
has heretelove experienced for detads 1o protect
the rear of bis operations, This new line will
shorten. by one half, the distanees between the
army and ns depot It moreover, otlers u bet

cing on the capital, the new levies, which wust
bYe coutinnally ponring into Vern Cruz or Tux
pan, will be sent forwurd to keep open the voad,
snd protect the trains V., O, Delta, 27th UL,
A Curivsity Exvrcren.—A Chinese Junl in
the Unuted States —Uuar readers wiay recoliect that
sone eight months smce an aroval at New Yok
from Cunton reported that an enterprising Amer
scan suip master had purchnsed a Clanese junk
and satled for New York, since which time
nothing had been heard of her. It now uppears

follows:

FOR REFRESENTATIVE TO CONGRESS, FROM
WeE TERN DISTRICT,
BENJAMIN B. THURSTON,
OF HOPKINTON,
There is Little to reply to, or requiring any
comment from ns, in the long article in the Jou
rnal of Thursday, touching the President’s tour
northward, Al the a2t ju the eases—as well
those relating to the Journal's condyct n the
matter, as those defining the position of the eity
authories—are before the publie; and now that
the hitde darry cansed by the expected visit of
the Chief Magistrate and the letting off of Law
and Ocler steam s over, will ve judged of ealo-
Iy by the thinking portion of buth political pur
tes. 1o will be Keptin mind by the thousunds
of onr people who had hoped te receive a visit
from Mr. Polk and the distinguished gentiemen
who travelled with him—ia spite of the Journal's
effort to shuflle the €act out of sight—ihat the
President has not been invited to visit our city,
by the proper authorities; that the authoritics
did not even tender 1o Lim the uswal hospitalities
Wil after hae wreival tn Boston, und alter bus polits
ieal friencs had been driven, prompted by their
desire 1o maintain the hoepitality of he city, ns
well as theiwr regurd for the President, to iuvite
him amongst us; and that frow ke eof the
first anvouncement of Wis tour northwaoed, the oi
gan of the ruling dynasty heve has poured forth
upou him every abuse which iteanld ongimate
or glean from the seurrilons tory journals ol éth
er States, Remembering these things, they will
hardiy wonder that the President did not choose
to visit u-, and will rest the blewme where it be
iongs,
The course of tie President’s friends in this
L eity, needs veither to be Justilied or explained by
fuse They felt grieved that the anthorities did
fnotaet courteously and promptly, wnd doemed
they were wrenged gud dnsulted by the course
wihneh the Journul, und the few who agreed with
it, chiose to pursne. ‘They rclieved themselyvews

They did nothing as kis politieal friends, nwd it
was quite certain that kis political enemies would
neither respect him nor lis station, or save ibeine

Heeed a commitice of dis fricuds 1o receive bim,
because, judging from the conduct of the organ
of the other purty, unl the negiect of the auibor

ceived only with abuse and contuwmely, or ire si
lence, by his enemies. They did their duty. I
the Journal and its followers bud done us well,
the bhopes and wishes of thousands of vur peo
ple, including Wings as well as Democrats, nght
cnot have been disappointed.
I Tois vatural that the Journai shonld feel uneasy
Fon this subject, und that it should attewpt to yi

“The editor of the Hera'd has expeiienced in

and whatever the types of a sycophantic gness
may be wade to say, however it way Kiss tie leet
ol power wnd bow in submissive silenee to e

whicn we have wiitien of this adunnistration lhue

ald, who knows waich better than we can wil
the Laseness and vileness of Mr. Poll’s adinoa
istratien.”
It has been a favorite business with the Jonrnal,
sinee the accession of Mr, Polk to the Presideu
tial office, whenever it has found it inconvenicmn
o get rid of what we may have saitd in his de
feuce, 1o represent us us not believing our own
words, and as harboring towards him and Lis ad
winisteation feelings of the biterest ennity, We
have not deemed it proper to notice this ungen
erous and upjast misrepresentation on cvery oc
cagion ol ite appearance, but the iguorant huy us
well be told Liere as anywhere, that “the editer of
the Herald” mas o, that he 35 aware of, “experi
enced in his own percon” the “ingratitude and
fithlessness” of this or any other Dewmocratic
administration. We did the litde we could do,
to place M. Polk in the office he now holds, und
liuve since w¢ cordially and counscientionsly done
whut we could to sustain the measures of his ad
ministration. In these we huve secn nothing of
the “baseness” or “vileness' which the Journal's
“elevation of sentiment” has suggested, and ns
“purity of style” Las w 0 refinedly displayed.
When therefore, the Jonrnal Editor tells Lis read
cls that he Luows that every word hie hus written
has found *responsive echoes in the editor ol the
Herald”, he tells them whut “we’’ Lkuow to be
fa'se, and is guilty of conduet not very creditable,
in our estimation, to himself as a journalist, e
knowe, or ouglit to know=—since we have once
or twice before siated the fact fur his especial
Levefit—that the publishier of the Herald is us
sole responsible editor, und that the sentiments
of Lis sheet are his own sentiments, and not prop
erly cliargeable to any one else. If he has re
ceived assistance or respite throngh such contri
butions frem others as have beeu suited to his
own views, he has not been meore fortunate than
the editor of the Journal himsell'; end if Le has
puid for the mental and physical labor employ ed,

learn that bis neighbors have anything to do with
the transaction. That he may uot again, how
ever, be called 1o notice the willul misrepresen
tations of the Journal iu this respect, e begs to
sute, finully und explicitly, that 1o lus kuowledge
not @ e bas been published in the Herald, from
first to last, in justilicution or defense of Piesi

cud heartily sympathized with him, and conseis
eutiously justified his nicasures, or who has ex
pericnced or thinks e has experionced, in any
wanner, directly or ludirectly, the mgratitude or
faiillessnens of bis sdministration. If this does
not satisfy the curiosity of our Algerine fricnds

acied by the Legislature ol that State, estabhsh

good which the friends of the law have sought,
will Luil of accruing, from the fict that corpora
tions can secure any number of hours' service
by special contruct with their operatives; but
the principle of the reform 1s established, and its
benetits will flow gradually and sorelv. The
bill received 191 out of 244 votes in the two
Houses of the Legislature.
57" The Journel is amusing its readers with
the Washingion correspondence of the N. Y.
Courier and Enquirer. The correspondent af:
feets 1o kaow thut there has been a serious flure
up between Gen. Scott and Mr. Trist; that the
latter hus been authorized to draw on the U, 8,
Treusury for the Three Millions, and that the
formier has already got a treaty of peace agreed
upon, provided he Las not been prevented from
doing so, by the foolish blunders of Mr. Trist.
Of course there Las been another “‘almighty cor
rcspondence” between Ecott and somebody,
which, when published, will reveal great things
~Just as the soup letters did. Let it come.
{77 The Journul would like to have our opin
ion of President Polk, ““ under oath.” We feel
duly grateful for 1s admission that a Dorrite’s
oath would be aceredited, und wmay reciprocate
the compliment when that paper repeunts of
gome of the grossest of its #ins; bat as our enc
mies evidendy feel a great deal worse than we
do, just now, we prefer to leave all the swearing
to them tll they have out-swore the * army in

From dwellings by the stormy deep,
From city’s wmart and forest side,
Fiom shadowy vales that ml'aldy sloep
By Nunugunwu'o.nwnul tde,—
Up to these heights, Grea* God ! we comne,
Llest with I'hy sieh and bountecus store,
Reneath yon broad, mu)e-uc dowe,
I'hy praise 1o sing, Thy grace adore !
Forlo! where once the savaze trod,
And fiercely wild the w-r-wlw'.»r rung,
Where darkly o’er the untfurrowed sod
A wilderness is shadows tlung,—-
Ten thousand peaceful homeste Ids rise
O'er all the broad and fraitful land,
And, pointiog to the eternul sKies,
Thy pulared fancs serencly stand.
And yet n pobler boon 12 onra:
Our Fathers sought, in sore distress,
From lands where stern oppression lowers,
A refuge i the wilderness,
They came, they suffered and they died ;
Yet planted here a deathiless tree,
Beneath whose branches far and wide,
Resound the anthems of the Free !
Theirs was the stern but glorious task,
o ruise lits wondeous form in air
Yot toiling millions vainly ask
Fes fruit to taste, its shade to share :
Be ours the misicn, God of Love !
o cunse its fragrant boughs to sprend,
Till towerimg everv land above,
Oun every heart its dews be shed.

“A Prra ror raGaep Scuoors ; or Prevention
better than cure” is the title of a small book by
Rev. Thomas Guthrie, lately issued from the
Ldinburgh press; a good noiice of which may
be found i the Apiil namber of the Edinburgh
Review, It inculeates the necessity ol institu
tions for training that large class of youth who
are and have been permitted to grow up without
menial or moral eulture, and as they nrrive at
niper yeara are constanily furnishing tenants for
poor houses and penitentiaries. It gives afright
tul picture of pauper youth and cinldren of the
poorer classes who seemn cowmpelled, by thewr
wants, their destitution and their uucontrolled
propensities to follow the down Lill road ol
crime 10 destruction, and recommends vsylums
und schools as important measns of prevention,
Thewantol obtaining the rudiments of «ducution
is a fruitful source of disorder and ernne, and
this is in a great measure owing to the absence
of precautionary measures on (he part of the
public. “Hitherio,” says the reviewer, “there
has not been the pretence of an attempt to exer
cise the slightest preventive checkover its causes
—moral or otherwise. \With no asvium to re
ceive them, no school master tw instruct them,
no policeman entitled to restroing what right

crowds of children: their thio fuees tell how ill
they are fed ; their fearful oaths rell how ill they
are reared ; and yet the merry laogh, and hearty
shout, and sereams of delight, as some nutorin
nate arching at leap frog, measures his length
upon the ground, also tell that God made child

T'he author lays much stresson theimportance
of schoels in prisons, ignorance in most cases,
hieing the remote canse of erime ; and ulludes to
cases where convicts, who have been taught to
read during the term of their imprisonment, have
on being discharged become thriving men and

for instruction in reading and writing are recom
mended in connection with pauper discipline,
the schools of industry being places of refuge for
poor children aud popularly known by the name
of “Rugged Schools,” where the mind may be
cultivated, and the evil propensities and imog
inings of there hitherto unenltured and uncon
troiled children may be corrected by employ
ment, by precept, instruction and moderate lubor,
The operation of such insiructions the author
thinks would happily illustrate and ennoble the
old adage=+A stitch in time saves nine,” and
he might have added that it wonld confrm the
truth of this slso “an ounce of prevention iy

Tur Mexicay Wan—EccrLesiasricar Action,
—When clergymen undertake to prouounce
upon poliical events, they shonld be sure of
their fucts. The New Haven Fast Association,
ina series ol resolutions against the Mexican
war, say they regard it with peculiar abhorreunce
“from the well known fact that it was commence
ed for the purpose of sequiring or securing more
slave territory.” Is this a well known fact?
The late Congress of the United States declared
almost unanimously, snd in the most solemn
mauner, that the war was commenced by Mex-.
ico 3 or, which 1s the sama thing, thut it “existed
by the act of Mexico.” Can that be properly as
sumed as a well known fact which the nation
through its Representatives has declured not 1o
be a fuct ?
Then »s to the motive. The same number of
the Evangelist in which we find the resolutions
of the Association, contains also, on the same
page, a communication from Rev. John 8 C.
Abbott, wherein he says, “*American gentlemen,
husbands and futhers, send an army to collect a
debt from sowme Mevican chieftans by bombard
ing Vera Cruz " In our own opinton, this as
o:rtion 1= as nutrue as the other. But our object
m gquoting it, 15 merely 1o show that “the well
known fact’ asserted by the New Haven East
Association, was wholly unknown 1o a respecta
ble member of their profession. e assumes
that the objeet of the war wus 1o colleet a debt g
they that it was 1o uu!u'ne or scenre more slave
territory —meaning Texas, we presnme. Rut
Texin was alieady n our possession. Why
should we make war to secnre it. It was natu
ral that Moxico should make war to recover it,
bt not that we shoold muke war 10 secure it
Peace, anl not war, was obviously the best
means of seenring what was already 1o onr pos.
session. But possibly the gentlewien sllnded to
Calttornia and New Mexicol Ifso, all we can
say i®, that their rosolution would have been
nearer the truth, laithey charged that the ob
ject of the war was 10 acquire * inore free terri

which Mr. ‘l'nist_is understood to have carried
