We are indebted to the'prontness or'a
O friend for. the -faithful delivery of 'le ol
lowing letter from one of our correspnn
dents. It containathe intelligence oin
terest. broughi by thi arrival.-'
It is a remarkable feature of th,%e news,
and one vhich exhibits th' vielssitndes' of
public life in Mexico in a-striking phliis,
that Gomez Farias is Vice:Presilent tiider
Santa Anna." Farias vasone bite Vi'de
President during Santa Annai's Presidanny.
His wily. superior; knowing the' hostilitg
of Farias to a hierarchy, and-desiroUatiof
Of improving th' finances by a confiscation
of the church property- set him to wor'io
digest a planand prepare tlie public"rMind
for seizing upon the ecelesiastical estates.
The effort failed utterly4 and the govern.
ment was about being made to feel the
power of an interest it had' alarmed.
when Santa Anna deserted-Gomez Farias,
threw upon him the odium of the scheme,
and escaped himself from the storm he
had helped to raise. Gomez Farias was ban
ished the state and for a number of years
resided in this city with his family, pinch.
ed by necessity and opressed with care.
Santa Anna in time was overthrown and
banished by Paredes. Farias,immediataly
upon the fall of'the dictator, rcturned tit
Mexico where he has ever since taken a
conspicuous part in the political affairs of
the country. Santa Anna, by a sudden
revolution in public opinion, was recalled
from banishment, and now these two poli
ticians, as opposite as the poles. in princi
pies and hating each other with a' rancor
that has been matured in disgrace, occupy
the first and second offices in the Republic.
Farias is a reformer of the progressive
party ; his opinions are of the most liber
al character. He is a republican at heart,
a federal in the Mexican sense of the term.
and as bitter against religious as political
trammels. Santa Anna is just %what his in.
terest for the time being requires him to
be. The close proximity of two such
men does not auger well of the durability
of the government which they administer
nor of the suavity that may qualify their
councils.
In so far as theelevation to office of two
men occupying the extremes of political
faction may interpret the public opinion
of Mexico, it may indicate a fusion (if all
parties, a union of all cliques, sects, divis
ions and classes of the people in one great
war party. Gomez Farias was, if any.
thing the most violent oif all Mexican pol.
iticians against the dismemberment of Tex
- as, and lhe may have nnited wvith 8anta
Anna to set an example of the suppression
of personal and polMeal hatred in forming
an alliance for the rject of consolidating
the strength of the state against a common
enemy.
EXTRACTS FROM THE LETTER.
U. S. SQUJADaON, UcC. 28, 18-10.
GENTLEMIEN-Tlhe maiil from Mexico
to dlay confirms the election of Santa A nna
for President, and Gomez Farias for Vice
Preaident. The extraordinary Congress
have beeni hitherto engrossed with the pre
liminaries for this election to the entire
exclusion of other business. One or two
speeches have, howvever, been made upon
the state of the national finances, and the
means for raising money to carry on the
war. It is estimated that the loan of a
million is indispensable to furnish arms,
and it is stated that Sarsta Antna is urgent
ly calling on the government to supply him
withi armus and4 munitions of war. The
corps of the National G'uards in1 Mexico
are very poorly supplied.
There is no indication that the peace
prop~ositions of thre United States will re
ceive any favorable colnsidleration. The
subject hans not) yet been broached in Con
gress. Some of the Mexican papers as.
crible all the evils wich d afihiec the country
to thej intrigues of Mr. Poinsete, which
have evenltuatedl in the present open at

at San Luis on the 20th ultimo, with re
port said, twenty thousand troops, but in
fact only about fifteen thousand, and that d
he talked of marching on to Saltillo; that V
the Congress was made up of any thing but
the better part of time community, and, in l
fact, were composed of what iscalled in E
Mexico sans culottce, who had nothing to I
lose, and of course they were for war; that r
Congress had agreed to a loan ofpine mil
lion dollars. The clergy were opposed to
it, and it was thought even that imount
could not be obtained. If they succeeded r
in obtaining this loan, it was to last the war *
for six months. Almonte had retired from
the war chair, and Canalizo had taken his
sent. who was thought to be pacific. - The
wealthy citizens of Mexico, and thoqe wh1o r
have the means of living, are for peace, but.
for the moment, are compelled to close
their lips. Nevertheless they, by voting
for Herrera, showed their feelings on the
subject. The stepping aside of Almonte 8
at this.moment meaps something that we e
have yet to learn.

that the excitenment against the Americans

his government, which was nmanifested
by the.ir late unanmous vote for Herrera.

THE RAIL ROAD.
We gordially agree with the recommen
ation of a Citizen of tihe Disirie, .which
we publish in our papbr of to-day, in re
ard to the propriety of; the measure, that
lumterville should take the lead i diis
)istrict in the matter of the proposed rail.
oad from Wilmington to Manehester.
rhis town Is the only pjaco of Importance,
tar, one extremity of the road, and Wil.
nington is the important town at the oth
r. She has earnestly taken the matter in
and; and we believe that Sumterville will
u the same when the time for action ar
ives. When it is proposed that she should
akin the lead in this matter, it is with no
niention of excluding other patts of tihe
)istrict, but with the desire that its people
hould centre at the Court House whatever
ffurts they may make, both on account of
he greater convenience of meelingq heire
ud the tendency of the people to flock to
lie business capitamor the District.
Much to our regret, we perceive an-arti
le in the Wilmington Chroniclc of the
0th which says:
"Thme Bill authorizing the Town of \Vil
iington to raise 8200,000, to aid in ex
eniding our Rail Rtoad South, was lost in
lie Commons by a small majority."
The Legislature of North Carolina ad.
iurned on the 18th, making a'reconsidera
on of this vote impossible for thme present.
meeting of the cItizens of Wilmingion
as toube held on the evening of the 20th
to determiine on the most eflective means
f carrying out thieir former resolutions in
egard to the Wilmington amid Manchester
tail Road." Their immediate action, on
lie loss of the bill to be allowed to tax
liemselves to thme amount of two hundred
hiousand dollars for the extension of the
nad,-has not yet been pumblishedl; hent it is
n evidence of their determination and
arnestness.

igorous effort. In the promotion of rail

onducive to the interest anti benefit of
