From the Picayune and Della of the 31 at ult. we niuke up the following inter esting summary of news: We learn that the U. S. steamship Mfanis * aippi arrived off Vera Cruz on the 18.li, bring ing the intelligence of the glorious battles of the 8th and 9lh inat., but very wisely the news w as only communicated to a few Amer icana in the city. The port was immediate ly blockaded by the Mississippi and the Fal mouth. Tint T. was boarded by tbe U. S. ship Fal mouth and took a letter bag from her. The brig St. Petersburg sailed on the I'Jth for New V urk. Orders lud been received by the American citizens, fronts the city of Mexico, directing them toUave Vera Cruz, by the 24th inst., or retire into the interior. It was expected that our Consul would go on board one of our ves sels. On the 19th an American vessel «p proHchcd the port and was immediately board ed by our officers and forbidden to enter the ■ port. In the night, however, she succeeded . in slipping into port. There were two A inencan vessels in port when the T. left—th* bark Louisiana and the brig Helen McLeod which bad partially discharged their cargoes, but under the order from the Minister Gejier-J al ot \\ sr and Marine, a translation of which , wc give below. I hey would probably be seiz ed. From nil we can gather the Government ^ is making the greatest exertions, straining ev- 1 ery nerve to carry on the war with the utmost | vigor, and by the most arbitrary measures hud i replenished the treasury. The Castle, of San Juan dc Uloa. as onr last' accounts state, was in a perfect state of de leiue, and the oOiccf&iu command were con fident of being able to repel an attuek.

WHARTON: It is with great pleasure tlwt 1 notice in the line* ot yesterday, a call upon the citizens ol >tiio County, to assemble tor the purpose ol \ iscuasing the subject of Popular Education. » Many Counties in Virginia have already ta »'ti the subject under consideration, and acted ' ith reference to it in such a manner, as to j ,ive additional en< ouragcuient to every friend ' if his country , and especially every true citi> ' >-n ol Virgin! i; and we earnestly dwsirc that * here in ry bo such a spirit manifested in this bounty, in the advancement of so noble a cause < is tluit ol the p ople’sedueation, that the high st hopes ot it - friends may be realised. The subject ul popular Education has cotne lo b r> gilded with the impost interest by the ;r. at« St and best of men in all parties and profession* in our land. The po-s-, in irfany ivirts of our country, lias lent itaindispcnsahle iid to the furtherance of this glorious cause; Maim*, New Hampshire, Vermont, all the N> w England Suites, New York and Ohio, have systems ol public schools in successful I operation, find many other States are wheeling ; into ilie ranks—and shall \ irginiu, the noble,) the magnanimous State, the State which com mands the respect of all her sisters from Maine to Texas, shall she come late lollte contest?— i contest where upon one side, are found the*, vicious, the ignorant, the superstitious, the demagogue; while upon the other, in uncom promising seal, stand the virtuous, the educa ted. the Christian, the true smiled patriot. Who, that liasever witnessed the successful operation of a free school system, can doubt hut that it is one of the surest supporters of our free institutions? In ■ country like ours, where tl»o pulpit, and th.» press arc uutramol ed. where the poorest mid most ignorant man, , with u ballot in his hand, is in one sense as strong as tlie rich and the learned; where the demagogue may have influence and pow- J cr, in proportion lo his talents nnd cunning— how necessary, nay indispensable, is a public, ' free education. It is this kind of education which the masses of Virginia should receive', fis the free gift of tin* State; it would be in vain h to attempt to euuuwrute the blessings of such ^ '*'?■ . 11 Nut many months ago I was visiting the free t ichools of one of our sister States, and attend 'd the public examination of one of these F cliools in an important town. j There was one feature in the Exhibition, r vhii h has nevi r failed to give me much plea- t ure, and w hirh excited in my heart, the sum hit warmth of gladness, and called into my 1 > yc\s the dew of delight. It was, that in the h xorc isos of the school, no stranger could tell 1 ■orn intellectual and moral manifestations, ! id scarcely from bodily apparel, who were \\ ie high born and who were the low born; 8 •d w hen, alter having listened loan a linira-l e exercise, from sonic* girl or boy in the high studies of the sc hool, I was informed that j" at was the daughter of a poor widow, and h, at the son of a poor laborer, l could hardly !
