FROM THE VOLUNTEERS. Camv Belknap, August 11, 1846. Friend Chandler: Bv chauce it so happens that I have a few moments leisure from duty and will employ them in writing you a few lines. I don't expect to be able to communicate any intelligence of impor tance, as you must know more o( what Is go ing oil in this country than we do ourselves; yet it may not be uninteresting to you to hear from us. Our first encampment after leaving New Albany was at camp Jackson below New Orleans, where we pitched our tents in mud knee deep and remained one day pre vious to embarking. On our passage across the Gulf we were all sea sick, which I think was rather a benefit than an injury to us. We reached Brazos St. Jago after a short passage, and remained there nine days in the hot sun and sand up to our knees: but as we had a pleasant breeze during the day, our sufferings were not so intolerable as they otherwise would have been. Our present camp is about ten miles above the mouth of Rio Grande, on a sandy ridge, one mile and a half from the river, from which we have to bring all our water, through mud and wet. If we had been stationed three miles further up we shoul J have been directly on the bank of the river and have had wood and water in abundance; but that did not suit our field of ficers, who seem to have picked out in every instance the most wretched places for our camps, but as the boys say, it can't last always twelve months will pas3 away, and on our return home no one of us will fail to remember there those who forgot us here. There is great dissatisfaction in our company towards the commissioned officers. They are are a lazy set, lying on their back all day fighting musquitoes and flies, compelling the men to waittipon them, bring them water, &.C., while the Sargeants do the drUliflu--re-TOnraTeereg as sojuiers, uiey wouiu UKe to make servants of us, but I think I see it sticking put that the men will give the offi cers to understand they won't submit to such treatment much longer. We don't ike to complain, but the truth should be told the commissioned officers don't know anything pf their duty, and won't learn, and the privates suffer in consequence. I can't tell you when we shall move from this place, or whether we shall ever see thejface of an enemy. We are all anxious to do something and do it quick and be off for home, for to tell the truth, aogerin' ain't what it was cracked up to be, no how. J had rather be sticking type in your office than eating beef aud mouldy bread and drinking brakish water on the Rio .Grande; and there are so many who think as I do that if our Regiment was at home a cor noral's squad couldn't be induced to returp ri, t .

IMPORTANT FROM MEXICO. We arc indebted to a friend for a number of the N. O. Tropic of the 25th ult., containing the following important news: The news was received by a British man-of-war, which touched at the Balize with despatches from the British Minister at Mex

ico for his Government. The purport ot these despatches is, that the United States have taken possesion of the Californias, and that the revolution in favor of Santa Anna is complete. We subjoin the following letters, from which it will be perceived thai the steamer Arab, with Santa Anna on board, was in sight oH Vera Cruz, on the loth instant. Vera Cruz, August 16, 184G. Availing ourselves of the opporlunrty by a British man-of-war, we have just time to state that Mexico and Puebla have since also pronounced for Federation and Santa Anna. Bravo 3 Government hardly established, was overthrown and Gen. Salas has put himself at the head of the movement until Santa Anna may arrive Tranquility was soon restored. Gomez Farias aided the partisans of Santa Anna to bring about the revolution. His sons have come down here to welcome Santa Anna, who left Havana on the 8th in a British steamer, called the Arab, accompanied by Almonte, Haro Y Tamariz, Rejon and Boves, and thus ought to be here every day. Gen. Paredes was taken prisoner, and is kept in the citadel of Mexico. Gen. Salas has issued already a letter ot convocation ol Cnnnrpss. on, the principles of lo-Ji, and the members are to assemble at Mexico on J the Gih December next. ' The present conveyance carries the nes of th annexation, of California to the Uniied Slates, received last night by the xpress at the British Consulate. Vera Cruz, Aug. 1G, 184G. Advices batfe just been received by ex press, ot 1 lie lormai annexation or Uaiitornia to the United States, and this vessel of war takes the British Minister's depatches to New Orleans and to England. The whole country has declared in favor of Santa Anna, who left Havana for here on on the Arab steamer, but has not yet arrived, which makes his friends rather anxious for lis safety. Postscript. The Arab just in sight! Commercial Times. LATER FROM MEXICO. ATTACK ON ALVEREDO BY THE GULF SQUADRON UNDER COM. CONNOR. The U. S. steamship Mississippi arrived at Pensacola on Wednesday last, the 19ih, bringing intelligence that on the 8th inst, an ..111! f anacK naci oeen maae by a portion or our squadron in the Gulf, on the port of Alveredo, situauted about twenty or thirty miles rom V era Cruz. It appears that several vessels had taken shelter from the blockading force, under the guns of the fort at Alveredo, and an attempt was resolved on to cut them out. With this view, tho steamers Princeton. Mississippi .-w tmt ainamrr ciaii? is-iiwjiicis; ran in and opened their guns on the ba;taries which at hist returned the fire with some pirit. After a very short time, however,the la iter was silenced : but the nnm irv obiect was not immediately attained, viz: cutiing out the vessels, which had removed bevond reach. Further operations on the port were con templated to be made the next day, by the small detachment of our ships engaged, but a signal of recall from the Commodore obli ged them to desist. They hauled off. reioinng the squadron on the 8th inst., without receiving the slightest injury in men, hull or spars. We are without any other news of interest from the guif; thecondiiion of our squadron is most satisfactory, and our brave tars are anxious for an opportunity of showing their mettle to the enemy. Ihe revolution 111 Vera Cruz, in favor of Santa Anna, of which he had previoos intel ligence by way of Havana, is confirmed by this arrival. It also state that a similar revolution had simultaneously broken out in the city of Mexico, the results of which were not definitely known at the time Mississppi's sailing.

Next President. A Washington cor

respondent of the Baltimore Patriot referring to the subject of the next Presidential campaign, says : "1 say it fearlessly and boldly, there are not one hundred Whigs in the Union who would not rather see Henrv Clay, the noble souled patriot and generous Kentucky ... 1-1 -i-.J T : statesman uod Diess nun; eiecieu nesident, than any other man througout the whole length and breadth of the Republic; but, still, it he cannot or will not consent to be again a candidate, the Whigs everywhere, South, North, West, and East, should tesolve as one man to bury all sectional feel ings, all ancient grudges and jealouses, all strifes of every kind, apd unite cordially, heartilv. and vatrioticallu, for the sake of J J M. " . our country and its glorious institutions, up on that great statesman who can be elected! For one. allow me to say, ! believe Hen ry Clay "the noblest Roman of them all,' can be triumphantly elected over any candi date, or all candidates the L,ocoiocos can bring into the field. 1 believe the hourapnroaches for his signal triumph. I meet al most daily old wool-dyed "democrats1' who earnestly say to me, now bring, out the old and tried war-horse, "Harry of the West," the friend of American industry, the man every body always knows where to find, and we will cordially and heartily support him! This language is uttered to me often by substantial men who have never yet cast a whig vote. And it is the language this day of the great mass of the intell'gent freemen, of this great nation. ut aJr-. Lay m;y not be prevailed upon to be a candidate in the next campaign, and he and the other leading men ol our party may prefer, unite upon and put in nomination some 0110 else and it so, ought we not, to a man, to rally around, to support cordial ly and enargetically the nominee? Who, what true Whig, will say No? Who will say, let us stand by our prejudices, and our sectional feelings, even at the risk of de feating our pany, and suffering the country and its institutions to go to Locofoco destruction? Too much attention cannot be paid to these things, for they are vitally important." MORMON TROUBLES. - The Quincy (Illinois) Whig of the Gth ult., says: From all appearances, the difficulties in Hancock are rapidly approaching a crisis. The citizens of Nauvoo have held a public meeting and resolved that it is "inexpedient and unlawful to encourage or permit a pos se to visit that city" or in oilier words, that offenders against the laws who have taken refuge in Nauvoo shall not be taken out of the city and are organizing a force to repel any attempt to lake 'hem out. On the other hand, the citizens of the county have determined to aid the officer, Mr. Carlin,to execute certain writs he has in his posses-., sion against Picket and others in Nauvoo and they will make a general thing of it. Mr. Carlin has issued his Proclamation, the call will be responded to, it is believed, not ouly by citizens of Hancock but of the surrounding counties. The posse was to have rendezvoused at Carthage, on Monday last, and theolhcer was to have entered the ciiy either on yesterday or to-day. A force of 1500 to 2000 men, was expected to assemble which would have been amply suf ficient to overawe any factious opposition to the law from the Mormous or any other body of men that can be raised in Nauvoo. All sorts of rumors are spreading abroad from the Holy Cily, intended more as scare crows than any thing else that the Mor mons have prepared arms and ammunition in great abundance 10 renel the force was preparing to march into the city to mike arrests. In this instance, the anti-Mormons of Hancock have the laws on their side.They have been stigmatised as a "mob," "regulators," &c. &c. and the sympathies of a large class were inlisted agaiust them on the side of Nauvoo, under a mistaken view of the difficulties. N ow tho caso is different. An officer has been resisted an offender against the law is at large in Nauvoo, threatening and boasting that he will not be taken, and that a force sufficient cannot be got together to take him. The law, therefore, through its legally appointed officer, calls upon the people to aid in the execution of the writs placed in his hands, and to make a signal example of such offenders as trample upon the laws and defy the power of the estate. The Washington Union has been furnish ed with translations of Mexican papers received at the Navy Department, with dales from Vera Cruz !o the 6th of August inclusive, and from ihe capital to the 4th of August. The following are the most material articles which these papers contain. If these accounts may be relied on, the revolution is advancing with rapid strides to place Santa Anna once more at the head of the Republic. The Mississippi, whose arrival at Pensacola is noticed in another article, brings rumor to the same effect: Translated from El Indicador, of era Cruz, of August 6, 1846. City of MExrco, August 4, 1S46. Liberating Republican Army. In the morning of this day almost the whole of the garrison of this capital, who are at this moment under the orders of the undersigned and of Gen. D. Juan Morales, occupying the citadel, declared against the Government, and will soon be in possession of the whole city, as the troops who remain under the orders of Generals Bravo and Paredes are insignificant, and are extremely disaffected, and almost in union with us; for it cannot long be concealed from any good Mexican that the holy cause which we defend is the cause of the people and of national independence. In the name of these, then, we invite your excellency and rely confiently on your sincere, patriotism immediately to second an enterprise so noble, and give tlius a day of glory to the country to which you have rendered so many services. It is, beyond all doubt, certain that the cause which we defend will speedily triumph, not only i

because the Government (so called) may be

said to be already overthrown, but because the whole nation is in commotion, and re solved to vanquish those who wish to sacri fice it. The triumphs obtained by our arms in Guadalajara, and the pronunciamento of the whole department of Vera Cruz attest this truth; and for the complete information ot your excellency, it only remains lor me to state to you that the valiant Generals Landero and Perez declared themselves in the city of Vera Cruz, on the 31st ultimo, in viting through a commission, the illustrious General Santa Anna to come and place himself immediately at the head of the army sustaining the national independence and liberating, in conformity with the plan which we have proclaimed, and of which I herewith transmit copies to your excellency. , , The enthusiasm among the united people and army cannot be greater; chiefs, officers, and men of all classes of society are presenting themselves to us by hundreds. We congratulate ourselves in the name of the nation, which will soon be able to show its gratitude to its worthy servants. God and liberty! J. MARIANO DE SALAS, VALENTIN GOMES FARIAS. To his Excellency, the commandant general of the department of Vera Cruz. Editorial remarks of the Indicador on the foregoing. According to the document, which we insert with the greatest satisfaction, the pronunciamenw took place in the capital of the republic on the 4th iust., as was agreed upon by those patriots who had ou the preceding day received intelligence of the declaration of the express here. On the departure of the express, which brought this intelligence so gratifying, very few troops remained with Generals Bravo and . Paredes, and those were already in agreement with their companions, who under Gen. Salas y Morales, occupied the citadel and part of the city, which they would soon occupy entirely. 0- Wm. M. Price committed suicide at a oisile gallery in New York City a short ft j time ago. The foiling is a copy of the let ter which was found on his person at the time of his death. The letter was directed to the coroner: To my Creditors: Many of you having inquired of me how I had disposed of the large patrimonial estate to which I was entitled upon the death of my father and my brothers, 1 now consider myself bound to slate the very truih in relation to it. About the year 1816, 1 became an endorser ot notes to a very large amount and Mr. who had married my niece, and was the agent of my father's estate, loaned to me about $8,000. I was relieved of a portion of my liabilities, and Mr . obtained from me a conveyanceof my own estate in fee and lease hold, as secuiitv for his advance. He has since that advance given to me at different j V 11U JUdUCU UJC 30, altogether not exceeding $3,000, in addition to the original advance of $8,000, making in the whole, about 11,000.

A letter from Franklin, Ala., to the Charleston Courier, slates thai on the 1st of July a gentlemen ol Harris county, Georgia named Billingslea, was robbed of eight thousand dollars of American gold and four thousand dollars of State bonds; and that the same banditti had, on the 10th of July, robbed nother gentleman of 11 ancack co. Ga., Mr Watts, of 4,000 dollars, principally in Amer ican gold. It is said that the villiahs gave morphine to the lamilies where ihe robbery occurred, bv throwing it into iheir dunking water. Soon after the news reached Fori Gaines, on the 29ih July, two men passed through, who answered the description of ihe robbers, and went on to Alabama. They were pursued, and found at the house of Gen. Irwin, in Alabama, who had after entreaty, consented to let them remain the night. The two robbers were Dr. E. A. Roberts, and the other suppossed to be Win. Eppes (the murderer of Mr. Adolphus Muir, of Dinwid die co. Va.,) though he called himself John Jacobs. When ordered to surrender, the latter drew a revolver and threatened to kill any one who advanced upon him. Gen. Ir win then order two very large and fierce dogs to be let loose, ippes than gave up his pistol and surrendered. Anuairel ensu ing between the two parties, who were in pursuit, as to t! e right to secure the prisoner the reward being 3,000 dollars Eppes endeavored to escape on his horse, and was on the verge of succeeding, when one Butler rode up and shot him in the head, at least 7 buckshot taking affect. He fell from his horse never spoke again: and died iu about two hours. "During tho great excitement alter Eppes was shot, Dr. E. A.Roberts got ofi his hoise". and went up to Lppes, pulled ofi his finger ring, took out his gold watch, his collar and collar buttons, purse and a roll of money, on the (bank of Darian,) and put it in his pocket the ring, collar, and collar buttons have not since been seen; the watch was recovered from Roberts when he was searched after arriving at Fort Gaines the supposion is that Eppes' name, or initials, were either on the collar buttons, or ring. On examing Roberts after they got to Fort Gaines, they found on him and in Eppes sad lebags, near 5.000, principally American Gold 20 skeleton keys 2 lock pickers, several pieces of spermaceti

candles which had been lit, several boxe3 of

matches, a black mast tor the face and head, 1 bowie knife, in Eppes', or John Jacobs' saddlebags, with the name of Wm. Eppes writ ten on the scabbard, 2 phials morphine, 2 or 3 phials strychinine, and one phile supposed to be the extract of morphine. They where both well dressed, and had fine horses, but not a paper about them that would give the least instruction of their name or business. Dr. E. A. Roberts was identified by 3 or4 individuals." He once stood high as an eminent physician, and married a daughter of a near relative of Gen. Mitchell of Alabama, but has spent all his property and turned a regular black-leg. The following is the description of Eppes. It would be a most singular event should he be identified with Wm. D Eppes of Dinwiddie, the murderer of Muir, though we presume the dates and the descriptions would conflict with this supposition. The last heard of Eppes, however was atXouisvilte, and this dead robber wore a hat made in that city.' "Jacobs or Eppes was dead before I saw him; consequently I cannot describe him as accurately as I would wish. I think he was about 6 feet high, would weigh about 160 pounds, thin visage, good teeth, moderately fair, hair inclined to be dark, and not very thick, be was from 37 to 40 years old ; I sup pose he was the man advertised as the murderer of F. Adolphus Muir, of Dinwiddie Co Va.; his companion Roberts said he did not know his name, if it was not John Jacobs that he had known him but afewdays that he had told him his name .was John Jacobs; that he was from Virginia: the li3t he wore when .shot was made Louisville, Ky. Wilson and two other men left with Roberts, well ironed, for Harris co. Geo. this morning. neglected to describe the color of Eppes' eves, they were blue ; you will discover I have no proof of his name being Eppes, only the name of Wm. Eppes being written on the scabbard of his bowje knife, I have no doubt but every man that reads this discriplion would not regret the payment of at least 5 for a sight of the skeleton keys, and other lock-picking instrument that were found on them. I don't suppose there 19 a lock in the Slate of Alabama, that could not be unlock ed either with; the keys or pickers." A. P. S. states that one of the party in pur suit has produced a pocket 0001 piacea in his hands by one of the robbers, containing 7 State bonds, and between one and two thousand dollars in money. : 'The Pf. O- Picayune has seen a letter dated Havana, August 8, which states that the Enalish steamer Arab, on which Santa 0 Anna and Almonte were to embark forSisa would leave on that day. The Picayune then speculates upon the cqntemp.ated movements of Santa Anna in this manner This letter sufficiently accounts for th non-appearance of Santa Anna at Vera Cruz Knfom ihn Misaissini lett there, we an tar hark as the 1st., upon th arrival rf the Titi. that Gen. Bissedre, tbtmet'iaajai fCTanta AnnaT3 ealnet. sailed from Havana for Sisal, and thence to Tobasco, on the lGth July. W entertain little doubt that his expedition was to prepare the way for Santa Anna, by pro viding the means of speedy communication afong the coast from Tobasco to Alvared and Vera Cruz and making other necessary preparations. The latest accounts we have from Tobasco represent the department that of commotion which in Mexico pre cedes a revolution. The people were advance of the Vera Cruzanos, and will no doubt flock to Santa Anna's standard, now that so many departments have declared fo him. We have seen other letters lrom Havana which leave no kind of doubt upon ou minds that Santa Anna got off at the lime he expected to do, the 8th of August. We shall expect to hear from him next at Vera Cruz, though we fear we rrny be kept in a provoking state of suspense till the next English steamers advices reach us, some three weeks hence. There is much pith and point in the following from the New York Express: Democracy" is a droll thing, and has the dr&lest way of showing itself often. If any thing could be supposed to be "democratic" one would have thought it would be doing our work at home instead of having it done abroad, consuming American made, instead of foreign made products patronizing our own labor and laborers, instead of foreign labor and laborers, but this is noi "democratic" at all. "Democracy" leaches a large increase of foreign importaiions to the amount of about $150,000,000, which we are to buy and pay for in Europe, in order to raise, upon such an enormous amount of importaiions, soma $20,000,000 which Mr. Walker, the great Mississippi financier, tells us is sure to come from his Tariff Bill of 1810. "Democracy" is indeed, funny, very fun ny. h is "democratic" to be buying wur iron, anchors, anvib, wirechains, cables, &.C., &.C., in Europe, but n 4 "democraiic" at all to be buying ihem fiotn Pennsylvania. It is "democratic" to have our shoemakers on the Boulevards of Paris not in Lynn, or Haverhill, Mass.; our silks from Lyon?, not from home; our linens from Ireland, and not from Kentucky or Oliio, or from any other Slate where flax might just as well be raised, and the linens just as well woven ourcarpets from Axminster, or Kidderminster, not from Connecticut or New York, out everything, in short, from abroad, and liule or nothing from our own workshops, made by our own hands. And ''democracy" is not only droll, and very funny, but capricious, and volatile, and unconstitutional, also, like most coquettes of her sex. S?ha assails the dandy and the bell for being dressed in foreign fabrics and foreign silks, when she will not encourage or allow them to be made at home. There is no reason why our silks, velvets, brocades. &.c, should always be imported, why our wives and children should always be rigged out in foreign wrought habiliments, but "democracy" intends it so, and to keep it so, if possible.

manding the Battallion of Mormons intended' for California, died at Fort Leavenworth a ew days ago. PAREDES AND HIS WIFE. A late letter to the New Orleans Commercial Times contains the following statements with regard to ihe history and charac ter of Paredes, the President, of the Mex ican Republic, ' Authentic rumors reach ed Matamoras yesterday that Paredes would certainly be at Monterey, to avenge the defeats of ihe Sih and 9ih May. He 13 brave man, enterprising, stubborn and with much of the prestige belonging to high personal prowess in the field. He is a nat ural son of Mira, by a priest who shone both in field and church as a man of courage. genius and resolution of purpose, in the war t 1812. He has transmitted most of these irtues to his son; and if he ever finds him self at the head of a body of Mexican troops, he will give us battle. To this the Savannah Republican adds an interesting description of the wife of Paredes: Paredes is however, not more remarkable as a soldier than his wife as a heroine. A captain in the American Navy, well and favorable known in this city, who is intimately acquainted with the Mexican President, informs us that his wife is remarkable for her great coolness in danger as well as her unwavering devotion to Paredes. She always accompanies the army on horseback, and on several occasions has been known to dress her husband's wounds with her own hands on the field of battle! A Good Reply.

The first child replied, "They do it immediately; the second, "They do it diligently;'1'' ihe third, "They do it always;n the fourth, "They do it with all their hearts ; the fifth, VThey do it altogether P Here a pause ensued, and no child appeared to have an answer; but after sometime a little girl arose and said, "V hy, sir, they do it without asking any questions. TROUBLE ABOUT THE SUB-TREASURY. The recklessness of the Administration, in forcing on the country iia odious 8ub-tretsury scheme, is beginning to reaet on itself. It was the intention not to let the act go into operation before the 1st of Jan uary next, but by carelessness in the wording of the bill it turns out that it went into efleci immediately on its passage, except as to the provision in relation to specie payments, which is postponed till the 1st of January next. And even hete there was a migiane maue, u is aueugeu, uv wuiuu un aut of 1789 was revived or kept in force, and this act allows specie -only to be received in payments to the government! A Locofoco correspondent of the 3New York Evening Post gives the following account of the bill, which is, no doubloon treasury authority . "An examination of the sub-treasury has led to the conclusion that it goes into effect immediately, so far as to prevent the treasurers or receivers from depositing or keeping any money in the banks; or any where but in the vaults ot the government. It does not require that specie shall alone be received lor public dues until the 1st of January next. But it leaves no discretion as to places ot deposit. If, at is alleged, the act of 179 ts alillm fnrco, nothing but specie can now be received. .The . balances at present in the banks cannot be transferred to other dejiiis, tones u nti 1 the first of April next. Such was not the intention of those who iramed the law, yet so it reads. An oversight inconsistent with dates had been tne esusi! ot this mistake. Wlmt measurrs the administration will adopt for a state of circumstances lor which they were not provided, and whicn were not expected, remains to be setn." . MARRIED.
