NEW New York, Friday, March 19, 1847, = YORK HERALD. _ @f Selence in New York. In this era of progress and Fourierism, we are not surprised at any thing that occurs, which is SPRING BUSINESS.

Doctrines the most pernicious and ab- surd, are daily broached by brainless philosophers and patent reformers. The wisdom and experi- ence of centuries are disregarded as of no value. Tinkers and tailors assume to be legislators. The boy of 15 is the man, and the man of 60 the boy. We go to sleep to-night, and wake up to-morrow in another century.

Important News from Mexico. {n another column will be found some ex- tremely interesting news from Mexico, which was received in this city yesterday. Our readers will please refer toit, and draw their own conclusions. Itestablishes two important points. First, that Santa Anna took his departure from San Luis Potosi between the 26th January and the 2d of February last, with 21,340 troops—that he had reached Matehuala, a town about one-third of the distance from San Luis Potosi, with the avow- ed purpose of proceeding to Monterey. Whether he has done so or not, isa matter of much doubt. The extreme destitution of his force would render it extremely doubtfulf:hat he would go’so far to at- tack the well paid and enthusiastic American sol- diers under the gallant‘‘Rough and Ready.” If he has done so, however, he must have arrived long before this, and, as a consequence, a battle las taken place between the two armies, and no doubt another brilliant victory acquired by our arms. The other point which it establishes is, that another peace messenger, or something like one, had been despatched by our government,with of- fers of peace to the government of Mexico. The peace messenger in this instance is Senor Atocha, anative of Mexico, who resided here for some time. Whether he succeeded in his mission or not, does not appear. The announcement yesterday that this gentleman, that any one, in fact, had | been sent as a peace messenger, created a great | deal of suspicion; but, if our readers recollect, we published the fact of his having been sent—his name, and the purpose for which he was sent, in | our Correspondence from Washington, six or eigh' weeks ago. This is all important, but in addition thereto we have had communication with a gentleman direct from the city of Mexico, who informs us | that the government was negcciating a loan for 100,000,000, with every prospect of realizing that | This loan on | amount for carrying on the war. paper looks like a magnificent lottery scheme, and the chances of its negociation are probably about equal to those of drawing the highest | But we | prize in one of the lotteries of the day. shall see. We will undoubiedly receive extremely impor- tant news from Mexico very seon. Tue Crry Rerormers in rue Figup.—Eicntn Warp Paimary Evgcrion.-We are assured that we were misinformed as regards the statement we made in yesterday’s paper, so far as regards the candidates for Alderman and Assistant A'der- man of the Eighth ward. Neither Abraham B. Pardy, nor Daniel E. Delevan, are candidates for Alderman or Assistant Alderman, but are the supporters of a ticket that will use every exertion *o nominate such candidates, regardless of the contending cliques of the ward, as will give the most satisfaction tot electors: such as under- stand their wishes, and have the nerve, if elected, 10 carry thern out; pledging themselves togo for “clean streets,” and for diminishing the expense on “ice.” This is the greatest move yet. Clean streets and economy in ice is all that we can rea- sonably expect.

Many ill- natured persons asserted that its death was caued by gluttony—that it devoured at one meal five | loaves and two fishes, and, being unable te di. gest so great a meal, dyspepsia ensued, and ter- | minated in the death of the victim. The cause of its death, however, is immaterial It is sufficient for our purpose to know that die i, did, and that it was interred, as every thing that dies should be. It is with its resurrection that we have now to do, of which we produce proof suf- ficient to establish the fact. Here it is in the thape of an edict issued by one of the departed heads of 5 | that party :— | Genenat Executive Committers February 19, 1847. } The following resolution was ad Resolved, That the several Ward Associations quested to convene on or before 18th March ni Riser three delegates from each ward fo form jayor- alty Convention, which shall assemble at American Vial March, at 7 o’clock, P.

The grave- yard smell attached to it—its lank and hungry | visage—its ashy cheeks and attenuated form, be- | speak for it another death at no distant day. In fact, our candid opinion is, that it cannot possi- bly survive the second Tuesday of next month. It will die a second time, we think, on that day, about sunset. Its surving relatives, however, will not take to much pains to inter it decently, as they did when it first slipped its anchor, be- cause it is an honor that they did not expect to be again called upon to perform. Neither do we consider it entitled to the honor. No well be- haved corpse would: seek to trouble the world, after it was once buried under the green turf. Sreamer Orxcon.—This splendid steamer, Captain Thayer, is to be brought out and placed upon the Stonington line, in the course of next week. She is to take the place of the Governor, which is to be withdrawn. We learn that Captain Thayer has been en- gaged for another season. This will bea guaranty | the sufficient to insure the confidence of the | public, however strong the prejudice may be | against vessels ot her class, in consequence of the disaster which befel the ill-fated Atlantic. | Itis a fact worthy of record, and simply an act of justice\due Captain Thayer, to state, that during a period of more than thirty years’ experience in | navigating the Sound, it has never been his mis- | fortune to meet with any serious accident, attend- | ed with the loss ofa single life. | We lately paid the Oregon a visit, and were surprised to see the many improvements which have been added to her during the last winter.— These improvements have been made at a cost of $14,000; so we were informed by her enterprising owner, Mr. George Law. One thing of importance we noticed, namely— the construction of her steam chest and pipe, which is secured so as to prevent the possibility t | of its breaking, as in case of the Atlantic. She will now carry two 14 inch chain cables, each | chor of 2000 pounds. This will give her three anchors, of an aggregate weight of 4200 pounds, sufficient to hold her in any part of Long Island Sound, in any sized gale. The New Postage Law. Ma.

We gather from them the following intelligence :— The Austin Democrat of the 20th ult, mentions that a company of sixty-three volunteers from Fannin county, under command of Captain Taylor, passed through that piace on the 17th ult., en route for San Antonio. Captain Taylor wes of opinion thusMr. R. P. Crump had succeeded in raising @ company, end that he would reach Austin ina few deys. represented that if the men formerly composing Col. Young’s regiment were paid off, it would be an easy mattor to procure 160 more volunteers in the Red River countries, but that the dis- Racoon San Antonio Jast fail was still existing. : The Bexar compeny organized on the 13th ult. Walter P. Lane was chosen captain, G. Nelson Ist lieutenant, and Henry Earl 2d lieutenant Capt Taylor broi consisting of 120 pper Brazos. ‘There is a fraction of acompany in Montgome: county. A number of companies was raized organized under the impression that the term of service ‘was twelve months; but upon ascertaining the true state of the tee disbanded. Tho an editors express the confident expectation that if volunteers could be accepted for six or twelve months, a regiment could be speedily made up.— Again, we would expresa the hope that Col. Hays may be successful in his mission to Washington. We find in the Democrat the details of an Indian “ skrimmage,” which is allthe more graphic for the disjointed, rapid manner of the narrative. ’e make no excuse for extracting it freely: — (From the Texas Democrat of Feb. 20.] * A little more than a fortnight since a party consisting of Capt.

The Indians aie pursed—shot a number of arrows at him without fect; after running @ mile or 20 he overtook the Dutch- man. The Indians continued the pursuit eight or ten reached the Bianco the Dutchman ane parted company with him and camo inalone. Itis probable young Sims escaped; wo shall hear in the course of afew ak article in same peper gives tho e adventure, as follows:— ‘Sims arrived in town safe and unhurt on yesterday evening; trom him the Shea. particulars of the Indian fight are ascertained:—When the Indians were first discovered, they thought them to be Shawnees hucting ( uffalo—paid ne atteation to them for some time tally saw they were hostile—the party made for the pack where their guns were—the Indians pursued them —the surveyors madea Syid te! bushes, where they were surrounded by the Indians; Grent ran past the thicket—had a kind of fistiouff combat with the enemy— Captain Sims mounted his horse—went to the rescue of Grant, armed with a “jscob-staff” and a small pistol- he was killed before he reached him. T! he saw his nephew, young Sims, tire a couple of times— saw an Indian fall each time—Clarke dan Indian with his pistol.
