Chapmans : I have not been able to procure a copy of yonr last pn per. but I am told tlmt in the printed proceeding i f the late convention, it appears that the additional debates appointed, under roy resolution, to the National Convention, arid made to appear as merely continent delegates. Ir this In; the fact, it is incorrect. By my resolution, tun delepates were added to the one originally appointed which nukes thrte from eacii Congressional District. Very respect fu II v, JAMES 1 1." STEWART. 07-The misunderstanding alluded to is occasioned by not taking the whole action of the convention, up on this si.bject, into iew. It was first proposed to! appointjnnc delegate and contingent delegate from each district, and they were so appointed and confirmed. Afterwards, under Mr. S.ewurt's resolution, the contention agreed to appoint three from each district instead of one, and additional delegates were nominated by nil the delegations, except from the 5th district, which, in answer 0 the call of the Secretary, was reported full." L5y this, ue understand that the delegates before named as "contingents" were made actual delegates, as it were, by consent. We there- I fore understand, that J. P. Chapman, Franklin Hardin and James Blake are the delegates for this district. We observe with regret that the name of our venerable friend. Major Z. Tannkiull, though it appeared in the body of the proceedings, was accidentally omitted among the list of officers at the end, where it should have appeared among the vice presidents. We hope that those papers yet to copy the proceedings will correct this omission. A Letter for the I'oys. j Some of the boys about town occasionally ask uf if ue have heard from "George," since he sailed, j We have at length got a letter from him, which we ! publish below. He also sent another to his mother, j in which he thinks l.e shall come home in two or j three years, to see how we all gel along. He will see a grtat change by that time ; and will find that he can recollect the men better than the boys. In one of his earlier letters, he expressed cislike of the discipline of the ship, the unpleasant duties to be performed at night as well as in the day, and the severity of the 1st Lieutenant, especially. He thinks better of it now, as we wrote him he would. Roys, as well as men, can get used to almost any thing, if they try, even perhaps to "slaying a Mexican" in their old age. L S. Fkigate Cumberland, Off Vera Cruz,) Mexico, December 15th, 1317. l)z.?. Fathcu We arrived here to-day. all well. 1 And the letter Lag carne on hoard in which I received j two letters from you ar.d mother dated Oct. 2'Jth, and i Nov. Ö!h. It has been 42 davs since wt left Norfolk j f r this port. Made Chagas (Isthmus of Danen) on J the 20th of November. We had a norther on the ! 12th and I was a little sick, but I have not been on i sick list since I hate been out, which cannot be said by many Midshipmen. This is not a very fertile looking ! country, ab Mit here. We saw land about ü o'clock j tli is morning and hove to about 1 o'clock. We saw M ount Onzimbo in ail its glory, with its snow cover- I ed top. We are anchored about 1 miles from the ci- j ty at Sacrificio, a small island; but this will not be: our permanent anchorage. I suppose the Comiiiudore Will tako li for his Hag ship. There is one Untish, one French, one sparns!i and American Uri, one ; .American steamer and sloop, lviti" close bv. i J do not think any more about rescuing. I nni pleased with a sea life as well as i expected. I am : very well pleased with the ofheers and like the 1st Lintenant very well. One of the greatest dlfllculties isthat we cannot get enough to eat. 1 think we v,ll have to draw our ration down here; but I would rather live on my ; rations thnn what we oovv pet. There is plenty of, oranges, hauannas ar.d pine a,. pits here. I don't; know whether ishill get to go a short f,,r the present ! or 11 or. Ccu- my had writing.

L'.ilest from Washington. The Ohio Statesman h is d ites to the 11th. The Fremont Court .Martial had adjourned to the 21th , to give the accused time to prepare his defence. There were rumors of a challenge to duel between Gen. Kearny and IJenton. The ten regiment bill will pass the Senate, but will be hard fought by the .Mexicans in the house. Clay will not withdraw in favor of Taylor, as has been supposed. Senator Hannegan had proposed the following resolutions, which will be considered: Kt'snlieJ, that no treaty of peace can be made with Mexico, having a pioper regard for the best interests of the L'mted States, w inch does not establish, as a boundary between the two nations, the most suitable line for military defence. I&soUnl, that in no contingency can the United States consent to the establishing of a monarchical government within the limits of Mexico, by the intervention of European lowers. Jlsoiied, that it may become necessary and proper, as it is within the constitutional capacity of this government, for the United States to hold Mexico ns a territorial appendage, or the condition of a province. Reverdy Johnson, the whig Senator from .Alary land, had made a strong argument in favor of the war. Wt-Lsler took notes, and the whigs are raving generally. Richmond, Va., one of Calhoun's strong holds, has condemned his late "line-speech" in a great public meeting. AV. S. R. Moore, of Ringor, Me., has been appointed Senator in the place of the late Senator Fairfield. Annexation Resolutions. A number of resolut nr.. nlruuli- Im fori" ( mr rfat In rhifllifi tri Mnvl. ...v tw...t- , co, but the most remarkable resolutions as yet intro-j duced in either House, are those of the Hon. Moses s Hampton, (a whig) of Allegheny county, Pennsylva nia, in favor of the gradual annexation of Mexico. They go for the annexation, from time to time, first as territories, and then as Mates, of all those portions of .Mexico now conquered by our army and navv, J wnich shall voluntarily offer to become a portion of the American Luton. I Ins embraces at present, New .Mexico, the Californias, Tamaulipas, New Leon, Conhuilo, Chihuahua, Senora, Simdoa, Tabasco, Vera Cruz, Puebla and Mexico; for nil these are now conquered and held by us.

I'rom Mexico. The steamship .New Orleans arrived at New Orleans on Tuesd.iy, the 23th ult., with advices from Vera Cruz to the 21th ult. Among her passengers was Gen. Piere?, who. it is said, will resign his commission as soon 8 he reaches Washington. Un the 27th Nov. Gen. Lane, with a detachment, fought the Mexicans at a place named Matatnoras, whipped I hem, and delivered several prisoners. We have to regret the loss of Lieut. Ridgley, of the urtillety, and assistant adjutant general to General Lane. The officers stationed at Puebla have resolved to present a medal to General Lane. On one side of it is to be General's likeness, and on the other side he will be represented entering the city of Puebla. The medal is to cost a thousand dollars. Gen. Twigs arrived at Vera Cruz on the 22d inst., with a train of 3,500 men. We have nineteen days later news from Santa Fe, but containing little interest, except that the Legislature of New Mexico, has passed a hill authorizing the election of delegates to take into consideration the annexation of New Mexico to the United States. From a Vera Cruz letter of the Picayune, dated the 23d December, we selcet the following paragraphs : "The President's iness.ige reached us yesterday by the brig , and created more interest than any document that h is bven received in Vera Cruz for a long time; and perhaps the .Mexicans felt a deeper interest than the Americans, for they have a deeper interest in 11. fuiuie destiny of the country. So far us I can learn, although I have read but a small pmtion of it myselt, it steins to have given almost universal sa'if icti-m. "Although tin? road from this to Mexico is now lined with troops, and every idvaiitageous point permanently garrisoned, ihe guenlleros continue to make their appearai.ee occasional; and yesterday they not only wound- d Lieut. Gordon, of the ritle rciment. in two places, but captured about a hundred pack mules u hit h were a short distance behind the command, and were the property of .Mexicans. "It has now become pretty certain, as I learn from many who came with the train, that Lieut. O'Suliivan, who was promoted for his gallantry at Palo Alto, and distinguished himself by his gallantry in the lat battle before Mexico, after throwing up hi commission, joined the Mexicans, and has received an appointment of Col. in the Mexican army. Although as gallant and brave a man as ever lived, he d.sgrand himself ii many occasions, hy which he lost the respect of his associates, and may now tight as hard against the American tlag as he has fj ght for it."

Gcnekal Santa Anna's Defence. A supplement to the New Orleans Picayune, received yesterday morning, contains tt document from Santa Anna, furnished under a decree of the General Congress of Mexico, being profe?seclly a defence of the conduct i f Santa Anna, in the management of the military operations before the capital, against the attack of the American troops uoder Gen. Scott. The paper eontain, as usual, much verbiage, but is at the same time sufficiently interesting to justify an abridgement fur the convenience of the reader. He says, that after his marcii to Puebla to increase, etpiip and organize his small force, he found that city dismantled, without troops or materials of war, and the enemy approaching. He was accordingly obliged to continue his march to the capital, where he expected to find gi eat preparations for defence; but discovered, instead, symptoms of revolution, which were quelled by his presence. He then proceeded to organize the army, strengthen the fortifications, and obtain materials of war. Ry persevering efforts, although there were but "one Hundred and odd thousand dollars" 111 the treasury, "ninety pieces of cannon were got 1:1 readiness, and 2',0o0 men armed and equipped, iuclud.ng iu this number f,M;i) veterans of the army of the north." This, will be borne in mind, is Santa Anna's own statement of his active force, on the Mexican side, iu the battles of the valley. He states that these iccruits were daily drilled, and transformed into brilliant brigades, w hich inspired the most tlattermg expectations. The General then proceeds to relate the order of battle which he had planned, and the position assigned to the several commands of Gen. Rravo, Gen. Alvarez and Gen. Valencia. The former was to command the line of Mexicalcmgo, Churubusco and San Antonio. Alvarez, with his cavalry, was to station himself at Naucamilpa, in order lo attack the rear of the enemyas he should pass a certain point. And Valencia was ordered lo take poitiou at Tex coco. With these arrangements, the appearance of the American tinny was awaited, and accord. ng to this document, Gen. Scott declined the battle which was tiered him at the Petion, which was perfectly fortified, and i.fter reconnotering the fortifications of .Mexicalcmgo, which he dared not attack, knowing that there, also, he could be combattul to advaiit'ine, took the direction south of the capital, General .Alvarez tollowinir the rear-iruard and 4burninir for an ojipurtinilly to attnek it." The deijjn of the enemy heilig now mnn.fVst, 'Jen. Valencia wad ordered lo withdraw from Texeoco tu the city of (iiiadulmipe Hidalgo, and subsequent ly, on nsject inr the intention tt" ihe enemy to march on Taeubaya, Gen. A'aletiCta u as ordered lo tall back on Coy oca 11 and to supply Churubusco with six pieces of artillery, which order ho refused to execute, ahd tit this disobedience of Valencia, Satiti .uii.t attributes Ihe whole failure of his plans. It .s apparent, however, notwithstanding the real or preteuot d belief of Santa Anna upon mis subject, according to his own statements, that it was in fact the tkill, courage, daring (erst; vera nee, and resistless energy of the American forces that uon the light and defeated his plans. It upnears that, in all his operations, in all his attempts to communicate With the several divisions of his army, and 111 hi- efforts to form a junction with either, he was anticipated and intercepted by the appearance ed' American troops. He allur.es frequently t their daring intrepidity, the audacity of their courage, und, iu an indirect manner, pays homage to their character un true soldiers. He concludes his address, however, with an intimation that the American army escaped annihilation very fortunately, through the cowardice of some of t e Mexican army, Gen. Araleucia, it is to le presumed; but admits at the same time, that the calamitous events he details resulted 111 the loss of "one half of his best artillery, and one third of the army," and that, but for the proposed armistice from General Scott, the American army would at that time, ii.iiuodiately after the buttle of Churubusco, have entered the city of .Mexico without resistance. ArKKAClT V of Hr.NKV Clav. "Th! justice of the war, far from being denied or controverted, was admilled by the federal party, which only questioned it em considerations of policy." This is what Air. Clay said, in his late Fpecch at Lexington, of the war of H12. He must know that,so fir as the federal party of New England are concerned, it is not true, it is not even in the neighborhood of truth. Caleb Strong, governor of Massachusetts, iu his message to the legislature in bM, said "a great jrojm tion of the people in this State have viewed the measure as unnecessary and unjustifiable." And, in their answer to Ins address, the house of representative's said the war w as "deemed by Uv rtater ai t of our fellow citizens to be unjust, and by a still viore numerous class wanton and inextkiuent." Mr. Clay's personal recollections will atlord him abundance of evidence to contradict point blank the assertion thus he makes, writes out, and puts on record. It is a melancholy spectacle to see a public man in h.s old age deliberately atttcmpting to falsify, for party purposes, the facts to the "fixation" of which he contributed the strength of his manhood. Missed Again. A paragraph is going the rounds of the whig press, headed Jim Folk's War," which states that the wife of Captain Thornton is now in Sussex county (Michigan) Foor House, partially tieranged. The Detroit Fress says that there is no'l'oor House in Su.-sex county, and that Capt. Thornton was never married. OCT 0ne Sunday a lady called to her little boy who was tossing marbles on the side walk, to come into tie? honst. Don't you know you shouldn't be out there, my son! Go into the back yard if you want to play marbles it is Suiid.-iv." Well, ve tt - " I. n 1 . t a mir Ain r ir .'Ntiiinatr tt ths tiri- rvti.ft

Fou.Y. The State of Massachusetts has granted to Amherst College $2f,(M)(), to be paid in equal instalments during live years.1 And to pay this, every tanner, merchant, mechanic and laborer, as well as every law- i yer, physician and clergyman, must be taxed. And for what is it paid I To maintain a j school for the manufacture of lawyers, physiciuus and clergymen, and cluelly the latter; Amherst College being mostly a theological school. We protest against this taxation of all for the education of a few; for the manufacture of material for occupations rendered necessary only by popular ignorance, and which decline in utility and just inlltieiice, just in proportion to popular improvement. If the whole people were as enlightened as they ought to be, and as, under a proper constitution of society, they might be, each man would be his own physician, his own lawyer, and his own minister. Hut we shall be told that this is impossible. We reply that the (.Quakers approach nearer to that condition than any other sect, and consequently exhibit more general health, fewer luwsuits, and less rancor, intolerance and strife in religion, and more attention to its daily duties, than any other people. And what is their secret? Thev are enlightened; well educated. They are rarelv sick, because thev know how to' keep well; and when they are sick, they know how to cure themselves. Thev comm mit no crimes, and therefore need ne legal defenders; and they tindrslaud theire rights and tluties, and therefore need not lawyers to help them iu their contracts. And they study the practical duties enjoined in the Xew Testament, and not the metaphysical abstractions of theologians; and hence thev need no "stated preaching of the l.ospel." And whv cannot other sects be as enlightened as they? If the Legislature of Massachusetts had applied this Sti5,()l)0 to founding live good high schools iu different parts of the State, instead of aiding onetheological schools, it would have exhibited much more good sense. Five high schools would annually send forth about 2'y vounir men, readv for the countV sing house, the workshop, scientific agriculture, navigation, or the ollice of any profession. This one theological school will annually send forth about k25, fit for pupilage under a lawyer, a physician, or a clergyman, and nothing else. Pa. Lt'dircr. Tin: IjAtij Virro lMr.ssAur,. The Boston i'ost, in republishing this powerful document, concludes its editorial comments in support of the views contained in it, with the following emphatic and judicious remarks: In interposing in favor of a strict construction of the constitution, and thus saving a drain on the treasurv, President Polk has done a noble service t Iiis countrv. We refrain from presenting an abstract of this strong message. It will be found an interesting history of the internal improvement policy the views of former democratic President in relation to it and a powerful array of arguments against the expediency of the nation's embarking in it. The consequences of such a course are faithfullv delineated. j TI. mninior in wbiclt Strifes mnv remstitnj . . I tonally make such improvements is also , pointed out, viz: by levvinij tonnaire duties with the consent of Congress, as was actual ly practised for nujre than thirty years, with-j o'ut complaint or interruption. This part ol i ihe message deserves carekil consulei at ion. 'J'he great importance of this subject, and the ineiestiiiir manner in which the President has discussed it, will without doubt attract the attention of our readers to this message. On this po'nt, as on other great questions, the President plants himself on the ground occupied by the republican fathers of the constitution; and we cannot doubt that the policy of forbearance will bn sustained by the calm juelgment of the nation.

It seems inconceivable to us that liov. Childs, if he possesses a knowledge of the true chancer of this document, in view of the regulations, of all established military ctnjueite, of the truth as ire know it to he and of the honor of American arms, can have forwarded at all, much less with approval, these libels upon you and your command. But in the possible ( ontingency that he may have transmitted it, through inadvertaney or otherwise, it is due to you, to ourselves, und to truth and the national anus, to state the facts as they are. Wt; do, therefore, (Ieneral, make the following statement, which you are at liberty t list as you deem expedient, the corrertness f which we are prepared to maintain by any test and before any tribunal. First, then, in relation to the. entering of defenceless towns, and the outraging of the' persons and property of non-couibitauts sy far as this relates to the city of Puebla, you entered it with your command, at the earnest and repeated solicitation of liov. Childs, to rescue it and iuui from an infuriated enemy, quartered and Jorlijitd in mote thin on:; of its many churches. It was not a defenceless place; Od. (iorman and Ins othcers can testify that they were lired upon near the eastern ga of the city, as also can Lt. Od. Duinont, coinmindiiig a detach-nent of that n giment, and ihe olli'-ers under him. and they fought and pursued a niroiir body of guerrillas, interchanging volley after volley inio and through it. Colonel hough and his officers can declare that they were find up mi hy mnrejthiti lifty guerrillas from the church of San Francisco, mi ihe topmost spire of winch l'oited a Lancer's llan upon their fiisl enterJince. And Lt. ('ol. .Moore, of tneOhio liegt., command ing a detachment with his ollicers, can al-o atlirtn that thev fought and pursued another large body of the enemy from street to street, being also fin d upon 4. , , . .it, , troin windows and house tops al almost every step; and that the enemy made a final a::d desperate stand under cover ot tin: church at the Alameda ; tnrther, that, before the door of that very church, they found the horridly nuililited corpses of several soldiers of . e'hiltl'ä e iniiid, who had been over powered and s'ain lliat very mnniiii". Tiiai s-'ine act-s .if pJlage were committed that afternoon ami the night follow in"; is true. Ihcn? are bad men every where, and it ca not. be chinned that your command is wholly exempt.
