Watson, at this port, we hav'e been fa tored with the following irileresting and i~mportani items, fron's Mexico. They were furnished to Captain Watson by Mr. Oampbell, our Consul, at Havana, a'nd were received at that place by the packet from Vera Cruz of the 6th inst.: Santa Anna is still at San Luis Potosi, at the head of 22,000 men, generally oc -eupied with his favorite amusement of cock fighting.. .Gen Taylor is seid to have left hiis re cent position and passed' Victoria at the bead of-6900 men,.supposed to~ be on his mnarch to Tampico. The clergy have refused to contribute the $8.000,000 attemgpted to be raised from tlism;.they are much excited against Santa Apna, and are endeavoring to get up pronunciamentos against him. Th4 whole cabinet of Santa Anna are reported to have resigned. Great jealoti sies exist drrong.the different Generals in the Mexican Army, and consequently much' donfusion and disorgaitization pro. vails. dispirited and expect the city to be at tacked by the Americans on the 2d Feb. The best. informed think the resistance which will be madeby the garrison will be feeble, and it fall an easy conquest. In the Castle there are only 1000 men, and badly suppliod with provisions, the chief dependence being on Vera Cruz for sup plies. Many vessels laden with valuable cargoes have run the blockade, and enter .d different ports of Mexico; some tent have left Havana for Alvarado and Tus pan in the last mouth. A large reanch ship with a valuable cargo has been re cently captured, after having been warned off once, for a second attempt to enter. The May Flower had arrrived in Ha vana with Lieut. Col. Rantdolph's com mand of 318 men. The object is to sup. ply medicines, which it appears had not been furnished in sufficient quantities pre vious to her leaving Norfolk. The men are fine looking, zealous and anxious ti meet the Mexicans in the field of battle, or to plant the Standia'd presented to them on the wall of St. Jua i de Ulloa. The Standard is a beautiful one. hav ing on one side the arms of the United States, and the arms of :heir idolized State of Virginia on the reverse side. Col. Randolph's comtnand are in fine health, except some 18 men laboring under the affliction of Syphilis. It was for their imprudence, unfortunately, that additional medicines are needed. The May Flower will sail 7th inst., for Point Isabel, that being the original destination of the vessel. New-ORLEANs, Feb. 14. From Tampico.-The harque Mopang. Capt. Boobar, arrived yesterday from Tampico, having sailed on the 31st uIt. We have a-rumor, brour ht by a passen ger, that the yellow (ever had broken out among the troops at Tampico. it is al most too early for the prevalence of this disease, and we sincerely hope the report may prove unfounded. On the 28th alt., the ship Ondiaka was off the bar of Tanpicir with a p .r'ion of the 2d Pennsylvania Regiment on board. She proceeded on her course, vhich the captain of the Mopang supposed to be Ve ra Cruz. On is 31st the U. S sloop of war Al bany. Captain Breese, arrived off Tampi co, direct from Vera Ciuz. The same day a merchant ship was seen off the bar, but her name could not be made out, The Mopaug left at Tampico the brigs John Potter, Capt. Dowd; Mount Vernon, Capt. Clorry, and -e'rfect, Capt. Gardi ner. and the schrs. Louisa, Argus, Orator, Wm. Thompson, Catharine. Cordelia, Vatchman, Sharon, St. Paul, Eleanor, Moneton and the Louisa, Capt. Post. Pie. Frcm Santa Fe.-The St. Louis Re vielle of the 5th inst. says, Mr. Alerrit, one of a company of thirty who started from New Mxico on the 2d of last November, has recently arrived at Boonville in that State. lie says several of their company were badly frost bitten, and three perished. The names of the men frozen to death were Bartlett, Long and Thomason, front Cuchanan county. The company came in on foot. and were fifty seven days on the route, about four hundrod miles of the journey through snow eight inches seep. The Volunteers were selling thoir Gov er'ament checks ,iri Santa Fe iat 25 per cent. discount--7bid. bDGEFIELD C. H. WEDYNLsDAY, FEmaUARY 24.1,817 To our Dedinquent .Subscribers, &c.-In ord er that there niay be nao tnisunderstatading,;,we. deem it expedient to let delinquent suabscrtbers, and others, in arrcars for jobi printing. adver tising. &c. know, thtat immediately upon the adjournment of the Court, we shall proceed to make out:all our acconunts, and give them into the -hahrds of .colector, wih cit we shall strictly comply in our charges, to the ter'as of the pa per. Finding it impossible t) carry oti a bit. siness, which calls weekly for'a large amount of cash, without greater punctuality upon the part of a number of our patrons, we are de termined,'hereafler, to act as: near as possible upon the cash system, or at all times demand the published terms of the paper. Wae return thanks to those who have come for ward and settled up, and have a hope, that very many will either come or send their dues by some of their friends, during tbe ternm ofthe Court, which will be in sessiotn two weeks. ET We received, a short time since, a copy of the Speech of the lion. A. BuWr, " on the Oregon Territorial Bill, delivered in the [House of Representatives, Janitary 14th, 1847." 'Ye havs already laid before our readers1: sy nop sis of this excellet Speech. 117 We have devotud a large portion of to day's paper, to the Speech of Mir. Calhi oun upon the three million bill, and the debatp upon the Resolutions offered by Mr. Yulee, Senator from Florida, relative to the exputlsion of Mr. Ritchie, of the Union, from a seat in that body. Kniowing the anxiety that is at all times felt by the. citizens of this section of the Union, relative to the views of Mr.. Calhoun, upon all important subjects, wve feel satisfied that our patrons will find no fimlt with us for crowding out other matter, which might, per haps, given them a paper containing more va riety, but certainly not more interesting at the present time. Relieffor Ireland.-The House of Repre sentatives has read a Bill thre second time,with out a dissenting voice, arppropriating five hun dred thtotusand dollars for the relief of the suf fring inhabitants of Ireland; the bill wvas re ferred to a committee of the Whole, wvho no doubt will report as becones an enlightened thristimn body. ic British ParliamentL-Pazliameut jcon menced its session on the 19th nit., and opened by the Queen in person. In her speech, after noticing various matters, her majesty says, " the extinction of the free State of Cracow tits appeureU to. ne so mainifest a violation of the treaty of Vienna, that I have commanded that a protest against that act should be deliv ered to the courts of Vien na, Petersburgh, and Berlin, which were parties to it." The marriage of the son of the King of France, with the Infanta of Spain, she also notices as having given rise to a correspon dence between England and France. France.-Louxis Phillippe, in his speech to the Peers and Deputies now in session, says, that he has protested against the incorporation of the State of Cracow, which was formerly independent, with the empire of Austria. As the British government has also-protested against it, this aatter nay cause serious difli culties in Europe. Sccrctary of State.-The official relations of Robr. Q. Pinckney, Esq., with the State as Secretary of State, ceased on the 18th instant, when the Hon. D. K. Henegan, elected at the last session of the Legislature, assumed the du ties of that office. Rail Road.-We cull the attention of our readers to a'corinu nication in this day's paper, over the signature of " .AFETr--VALV," upon the subject of the Edgefield and Aiken Rail Road. We are assured they will be paid for tietrouble that they may take in perusing of it. Whilst upon this topic, n hich interests a large portion of this community. (e would remind our correspondents, that our office, is at present located directly in the rear of the Court House, and is at all times open, (Sun days excepted,) from sunrise until sundown, where all communications, upon that, or any other subject, will be than kfully'received, and we will be.saved the expense (which by the by is no trifle,) occurred by their being drop ped into the Post Ollice. This precaution,, on the part of our correspondents, will, no doubt, -enable us, in the course of a few years, to take at least,.one share of stock. " A word to the w ise," &c. Relief of Ireland.-The meetings throughout the country for the relief of the sufferers in Ire land, according to our exchanges, have been numerously attended, and large amounts sub. scribed. From almost every section of our vast country, we heat the expressions of sym pathy, for this truly suffering people, who, at the best of times. arae hardly dealt with. In the emporiuiof our State, much is at present doing, in their behalf, and front a circular late ly published there, we are invited tocontribute our mite. The Charleston Rail Road Compa ny,-with their usual liberality, have published that they will transport all kinds of provisions, destined for the use of those people, "free of freight." Is it not probable that some good na tured tezmsters wonld carry, what might be subscribed in our village and adjacent country, to Hamb'trg or Aiken. grants? We think such conld he found, and therefore hope that the libcral hearted ulOld Edgelield will coin e forwArd and throw in their muites, either in provisions or money. Is there none %% ho will step forward and commence this good work ? The following we quote fioit an appeal to the -citizens of New York, by a number of gen. lemen of that city, who hitve, as ain evidetnce of their-sidcerity givcn %6O each in aid of the cause. "The distreiss of the laboring classes in Ireland has been fully dlescribed in our ppblic papers , antd the mind of our citi zens is awakened to the subjeci; yet, so fortunate is ihe condition of America, that it is scarcely pdssible for us to realize the awful'fact, 'ttat nearly four maillions of .peop'le bre on thee verge of starvution. '"Four millions, mnostoff them comnpe ren't t6 (svork, not crippled by vice. nor disabled by intemperance, able-bmodied, in rte prime of life, and these people are dy lng by scores, by hundreds, ott the road. side and in their miserable dwellings, of thse actualtroant of food.

"It is not for its to prescribe the limit or the nature of your aid. ..WVe ask from the abundance of the rich. and the economy of the middle classes.-E very thing that you can give us is wanted-were it ten fold more titan we expect, it would not fully reach rte evil. Our object is brifly expressed in these few words. Every dollar you can give may save a human being. fromr starvutiona." TiC.Ten Regimients.-The Baltimore Sun aaye, that it is stated that of the ten new real menits, the bill for which has just passed Con gress, four cormpaniec will be received from Maryland antd one from Delaware; front New York seven comapanies; N.

The mounted men will be takent from the Western $tates, Tennessee, and Kenttucky. From Txas.-By papers from the interior of Texas received at New Orleans, we lea'rn (savs.the Bulletin) that it large number of in - diane, consisting of branches of the Lapan tribe, and a portion of theo Apaches who have heretofore been residing on- the Rio Grande within the jurisdiction of Meico, have taken up their quarters within the..limoits of Texas , alleging as the cause of their remoival, the plea, that the Mexican.authornities we re endeavor ing to press their young'men into the army to serve against the United States. This is sup. posed to be a mere pretence, as they have al ways been entirely independent of the Mexi-, can government, and in fact open and declared enemies.-. Their whole number is estimated at 10,000, mptny of whom have established hemselves within 70 or 80 miles of Austin, near the month of,4Ihe Ltano. Gov.
