The Journal secks to give the impression that a por
tion of the democratic party in Portsmouth repaired
to the residence of the moderator, after his outrageous
proceeding on Tuesday night in adjourning the meect
ing contrary to law, and, it is believed, the will of a
clear majority of the people present, for the purpose of
violence, and that they were only deterred from riotous
acts by the presence of a number of “athletic young
whigs I The truth of the matter is (and we have it
from a good whig who followed the party, heard the
arrangement, and was present at the residence of the
moderator when the scene occurred, as well as from
democrats,) a number of democrats, perhaps a hundred,
with drum and fife marched to the houses of several
prominent democrats after the events of the evening,
for the purpose of saluting them; they had repaired to
the residence of one on Islington strcet, but a short
distance from the moderator’s. After giving a salute
here, it was proposed by their leader to proceed to the
house of the moderator, when he (the lcader) would
make a short speech, the company give three groans,
beat the rogues march, and retire peaceably. The
Pproposition was agreed to and executed to the letter,
no violence being offered or thought of. While we
“cannot approve of the proceeding, in view of the out
rageous course of the moderator it can hardly be sub-
Ject of wonder that he was subjected to this annoyance.
It is, perhaps, surprising that no violence was offered
him. After the party had retired from the house, and
were at some distance from it, the *athletic young
whigs ” there assembled cheered. This called back
seme twenty or thirty of the retiring party to ascertain
what the noise meant, when one of the “athletic young
whigs” drew a knife, and two or threc blows were pass
ed, but with no other effect than to slightly graze the
mose of & gentleman from Maine, who some thought
mi_mbrépor!y meddling in our election affairs. Thus
ended this very alarming scene.
An Un=tasted Repast.
The Mexicans at the battle of Palo Alto, are said to
have prepared a grand dinner which they intended to
eat after they had whipped Gen. Taylor and his troops,
bg way of celebrating the victory which they were pre
viously sure of achieving. In like manner the Mexican
federalists here in Portsmouth, on the day of the late
election; bespoke a grand supper at the Franklin House,
which was to have been devoured after they had whip
ped (as they flattered themselves they should easily do)
the Democrats. But as at Palo Alto, so here in Ports
mouth, the Americans conquered — Mexicanism was
driven to the wall and its flag prostrated in the dust.
The encmy fled, and the “ meat and liquor™ was left
untasted, at least for the time being. Alas and alack
a-day !
Hox. B. F. HarLerr.—The democracy of Ports
mouth are under lasting obligations to this able cham
pion of republican principles for the excellent political
address which he delivered at Jefferson Hall, on the Fri
day previous to our late election. We were unable to
be present, but have only heard his effort spoken of as
-extremely able, clear and effective—a speech which did
much towards accomplishing our glorious victory on
the following Tuesday. The democracy of Greenland,
who have made a good gain on their vote of last year,
are also greatly indebtad to Mr Hallett for the speech
with which he favored them on the Saturday before the
election.
05 The Journal attributes the late defeat of its par
ty in Portsmouth on the Representative ticket to the
defection of recent whig voters. True. The democrat
ic party might not have carried the day, uuder the cir
cumstances, had it not been for some forty or fifty pat
riotic men, who, disgusied at the “aid and comfort ”
which the self styled whigs have been giving to the
Mexican enemy, have left that party, probably never
again to join it. Honor to them !
THE New Reciuext.—Four companies will be rais
<d in Maine, two in N. 11., one in Vermont,onein R Is-
Jand and two in Connecticut, which with their officers
will constitute the “9th Regiment of Infantry.” Head
Quarters established for the present at Boston. Fort
Constitution, at New Castle, N. H.and Fort Adams, R. I,
“will be used as receiving depots for the regiment, and the
concentration of companies, preparatory to their imme
diate embarkation for the zeat of war.

ta, Me. gives $213; citizens of Biddeford, Me. £205; of
New Ipswich, N. H. §154; of Keeue £213; Ambherst

road $4lB, &e. &ec.
Reapy Fursisnep LoveiNgs To LET.—The Cone
cord Patriot learns that-Hon. George H. Dodge, federal
candidate for Senator in this District, was so sure of
a re-election to the Senate, that on a late visit to the
Capital he engaged a room and board at one of the ho
tels there for the next June session! That room is
now so let, and Mr. Dodge ought to give his successful
competitor, Mr Foss, the refusal of it.
05~ That lady correspondent in the last Journal, who
gave such a graphic duscription of a (k)niyht scene
in Portsmouth, and who seems to have a strong cross
of “that same old coon” in her composition, is enti
tled to a vote of thanks and a full suit of male attire
from the federal leaders here.—ONE oF THE “ BroTH
ERHOOD.”
&F"ln hastily alluding last week to the turn-out
of the democracy of Christian Shore, at the late
election, we by no means intended to detract from
the high credit to which our friends in every section
of the town are justly entitled—particulary those
at the South End who turned out in full numbers
and were not one jot behind those of any other sec
tion of the town in zeal and activity. Al did their
duty, nobly, fearlessly and energetically.
o>~ The Aungusta Age, in speaking of our recent
State election and the discomfiture of the allies, very
pertinently remarks :—
* Mexico and her allies seem destined to be defcated,
whether the contest be at Palo Alto, Reseca de la Pal
ma, Monterey, El Passo, in the Halls of Congress, or
among the graaite hills of New Hampshire.”
" Tue Force acainst Saxy Juaxy D’'Urroa—The
whole number of guns that our naval force presents
against this formidable castle is stated to be 324. But
our guns can throw shells half a mile further than any
guns can in the castle. The castle cost forty millions
of dollars to erect it. Its walls are from 12 to 20 feet
thick. It contains seven cisterns supplying 98,757 cu
‘bic feet of water, In 1838 it was defended by 177
pieces of different calibre. It is intended for 370.
Tow~ ApPoINTMENTS.—The Selectmen have

TowN MeeTiNG.—The adjourned town meeting
assembles at Jefferson Hall, on Thursday next at

Important News from Mexico.
Dates have been received from Anton Lizardo to
the 28th of February. One Atocha, said to be a
U. S. commissioner, has returned from Mexico. He
was unfavorably received at Vera Cruz and Mexi
co, and was ordered out of the latter city to await
an answer to his propesals, which were reported to
have been sent to Santa Anna, who was on his wav
to Saltillo. The army in Vera Cruz was in a sick
and destitute condition. There were 5000 men in
the city and the castle of San Juan d'Ulloa, part of
them well disciplined. The Puento Nacional being
fortified, Canahzo would occupy Jalapa with 6000
men. Santa Anna has raised SIBO,OOO, and has
pledaged his own property as security. The bishop
of Guadalaxara has offered $30,000 for the support
of the soldiers. The governor of Vera Cruz had
declared a forced loan of $40.000. There was a
proposition before congress to move the seat of gov
ernment to Celaya. It is reported that there are
2000 Mexican troops at Alvarado. Vera Cruz pa
pers say that Atocha offered $20,000,000 for the
‘boundary of the 26th degree of latitude, from the
‘mouth of the Rio Grande to the Pacific. Twenty
Americans had been captured near San Juan. The
‘blockade is violated with impunity. 8500 Ameri
can soldiers were on the Island of Lobos. The
fdysentary was prevalent among them. Midship
'man Rogers has been sent to Perote. Dates from
Chihuahua to Jan. 16th, make no mention of the
- American forces.
| From Santa Fe.—A telegraphic despatch from
' New York, brings intellizence of an extensive ris
‘ing in New Mexico, against ¢he American authori
ties. It had commenced in the city of Taos, and
' had made formidable headway—the insurrectionists
! sending expresses all over the country for assistance.
! Gov. Bent, Stephen Lee, Sheriff, Gen. Lee, and 20
'or 30 leading Americans were killed. They were
' making preparations to take possession of Santa Fe,
and were confident of capturing Col. Déniphan’s
' regiment. The Mexicans asserted they would mas
'sacre every American in New Mexico. All Span
‘iards having any sympathy with the Americans had
'been compelled to flee. The alcalde appointed by
‘the Americans was among the killed. A letter
from Lt. Abert, U. S. topographical engineers, of a
lutor date, confirms the above intelligence. Calls
' upon our government for large reinforcements are
"strenuous. Eight leading men were engaged in the
' conspiracy, and made full confession of the whole
| plot.
i Later—The St. Louis papers confirm the ac
| counts of the insurrection at Taos. The outbreak
| believed not to be general. It was thought that our
| troops were not in mwuch danger. Gov. Bent was
| visiting his farm when he was’ killed. There had
| been a great snow storm on the pruiries, and Lieut.
| Abert’s men had suilered severely.
Israxp oF Losos—[WouLr IsLAaxD.]—This Is
land, at which the American forces are concentra
ting, preparatory to a descent upon Alvarado and
Vera Cruz, is thus described by a correspondent of
the Phila. North American, who writes from Lobos
under date of Feb. 7th:
“The Island of Lobos is a lovely litile spot, form
ed entirely of coral, about two miles in circumfer
ence, twelve miles from the Mexican shore, about
60 miles from Tampico, and some 130 from Vera
Cruz. It is covered (or was before we landed) with
a variety of trees and shrubs, the highest of the
former perhaps 25 feet high, and these are so cov
ered with vine that one can hardly get through
them. There is hardly a tree, or slirub, or plant,
growing here I have ever seen before. Banyan
trees, spreading over large spaces of’ ground, their
limbs forming props as they pierce into the earth
and take root, while the tops thickly thatched with
evergreen vines, form most beautiful arbors. Lem
on, lime, fig, palm, cane, and a hundred other spe
cies of wood, are growing with all the freshness and
beauty of the Indies. There is plenty of water to
be had by digging four to six feet. It is brackish
and sweet, but we are getting used to it, and like it
nearly as well as ship water. Fish and sea fowl we
have in profusion. With these we have a delight
ful sea air, that fourteen hours of the twenty-four
makes the place pleasant.
It will be difficult, I imagine, to convince yon
who will read this scrawl beside great coal fires,
that we are literally roasting during a portion of
the day. The sun isso hot that our faces and arms
are blistered if exposed but a few minutes. To
day, by Fahrenheit, in the shade, I scored 92 de
gress. The universal remark among the volunteers
18, if’ this is winter, what will summer be! But,
with all, our regimeut is getting along remarkably
well. There ate very few sick, and they are from
the country—nene dangerous. :
! Important News, by Monday’s Mail.
! We copy the following from the Boston morning pa
! pers of Monday, Lut are scarcely disposed to credit it :
| TWO BLOODY BATTLES BETWEEN THE
l AMERICANS AND THE MEXICANS.—The
| New York correspondent of the Boston Telegraph,
| under date of 11 o’clock on Saturday night, states
| that on the evening of the 12th inst. there was an
| arrival at New Orleans from the Brazos, by which
| news was received of bloody battles between Santa
i Anna, with twenty thousand troops, and General
Taylor, with five thousand Awmericans.
The first was in the streets of Saltillo, and the
second at the Riconada pass, which is about eight
or nine miles from Saltillo, between that place and
Monterey. It is reported that the Mexicans were
repulsed, with a loss of from four to five thousand
men, and that the loss of the Americans was about
two thousand. Gen. Taylor has sent all his bag
gage and provisions to Monterey. The news was
furnished tothe New Orleans papers by passengers
from the Brazos, and was generally believed in that
city. : ‘
, The Boston Post has received the following by
'magnetic telegraph, dated “New York, Sunday, 9 o™
clock, P. M.” :—
The Reported Battles—The New Orleans Bulle
tin has a letter from Brazos of the latest moment,
which pronounces the néws from Monterey, of the
sanguinary battles between the troops of Santa
Anna and those of Gen. Taylor, to be a humbug !
but the intelligence was generally believed at New
Orleans. - o v,w,');

Hyreriox Fruip.—Mr William Bogle, No. 228
Washington street, is the inventor of this valuable veg
etable composition, which is pronounced by many who
have used it, as one of the greatest eradicators of the
diseases of the head ever made nseof. We have been
cognizant of its beneficial effects in some instances, and
our own cranium is now submitted to its influence. In
addition to its cleansing and curative properties, it gives
a polish and glossy appearance to the hair, and contrib
utes and agrecable moisture, quite unlike that produced
by the oils in general use, it be wholly free from such
properties. We can commend the article already, and
