Price Two Cents, PROGRESS OF THE WAR. AFFAIRS AT VERA CRUZ. (From the New Orleans Picayune, April 21.) Our advices by the Jona are up to the 8th inst. Gen. Twiggs, with a division of the army, left Vera Craz on the wiorning of that day tor Jalapa, ‘There was the same doubt in the army ‘ag to whether there would be anymore fighting that has always prevailed amongst our troops after a batule with the enemy, The remaining divisions were to proceed rapidly in the direction of the city of Mexico. Although the opinion was quite current at Vera Cruz that the Mexicans would not make a stand botween that city and the capital, yet there were some who regarded future collisions as certain, Amongst these was Col. Kiuney, who had recently been as far into the interior as Mango de Clava, Santa Anna’s hacienda, It was distinctly understood at Vera Cruz that the Puente Nacional had been abandoned. This was the | point at which the first resistance to the march of the American forces upon the city of Mexico would be made; Dut though the defence of this point was given up, it was not certain that the progress of our army into the Anterior would not be disputed at others. Indeed, it was asserted that the forces dustined to defend the National Bridge (Puente Nacional) had fallen back a few leagues in the direction of Jalapa, to a stronger position, where reparations were being made fora stout defence. An intelligent officer, just from Vera Cruz, thinksit quite probable that a battle may have occurred about the 14th tustant. Rumors from the city of Mexico represented Santa Anna as more intently bent upon war than ever. ‘The reports are not the best authority, in so far as the wishes of Santa Anua are concerned; but they indicate the temper of the public mind, which is as good an index of his purposes as any other. Our correspondence gives all the news astir at Vora | Cruz at the time of the departure of the Iona. Tho | next arrival will probably bring more definite intel- | ligence upon which to form an opinion as to the pro- babilities of protracted war or speedy peace. [From the Vera Crux Engle, April 8.) | _ This port being now open to the free adinission of Veasels from all quarters, we anticipipate a brisk busi- ness, depending so much as tho Mexicans do, on others, for their necessaries of life. ‘Chere are a vast number of things, and most of them styled necessaries, which we are in great] want of at present, and it :will take some | timeto satisfy the demand. The fact that the city has | beon so recoutly relieved from investment and blockade NE PR. | is, of course a reasonable excuse for the present scarcity; SPRING FASHIONS FOR HATS AND CAPS— | ito i iniay, Apel 3d, | renew style of Caps for children and boys, also, the ne ecot Pat i but it must be admitted that we are badly off indeed Our impression is that a close investment and blockade | for a week or two longer, would alone have compelled the city and castle to enter into capitulation. Provisions were very scant—it is next to impossible to get a good meal now, with the numerous advantages of our stores and open gates for the entrance of tho produce of the country—we ought, therefore, to live a little better than we do, having such numerous facilities, and most heartily trust that the people of the country will see the ad- Yantages they would derive from such a trade.— We think they will do so, and will bring in enough of the good things of life to fill the stomachs of us all, to satiety. As it is, our markets are very badly supplied, and luxuries, such as butter, eggs and milk, are entirely out of the question. A good article of Goshen butter y cents per pound, and niilk any cents per quart. Eggs sell readily at seventy-five and eighty cents per dozen, and everything else isin proportion, ‘This is a lamentable state of things in a country like Mexico, where the soll yields almost spoi taneourly, and where a little labor and attention ts paid so bountifully by niture, ‘The continued absence of the people of the country is ascribed to fright, but we would hope that their interests, if nothing else, would | cause them to dof their feurs, ‘and risk their precious | bodies within bargaining distance of us, atleast. ‘They will find the American soldier, if rough when contending with an enemy, full of generosity and kindness when dealing with a friend or neutral. The sale of the vessels beached in the late norther is progressing very fast by order of the Board of Survey. Mr. Walsinghain, the public austioneer at Vera Cruz, has his hands full. Fortunes, on a small scale, are being made at the purchasing business, The wounded in the Mexican hospitals at Vera Cruz are suffering much from their wounds, and the medical attendance is represented as meagre. ‘It is said that a number of the Surgeons were killed and wounded be- fore the occupation, by the bursting of one of our shells. Messrs, Hart and’ Wells were to open a theatre in the captured city on the 8th or 9th instant. Itappears that they have already got together an excellent company of comedians, and {t was expected that they would reap a golden harvest during the occupation, THE TROPHIES. The number of cannon captured by our forces in Mexico exceeds 600, most of them heavy pieces. ‘There were captured at | Resaca de la Palma. | At Matamoras, say. At Monterey, about...

Col, Bankhead, bearer of despatches from Gen, Seott, having in charge the trophies of wartaken at Vera Cruz, arrived this morning on the ship Elizabeth Dennison, on his way to Washington. The E. D. left Vera Cruz on the same day as the schooner lona which arrived | yesterday, and therefore brings no later news. On Sunday afternoon Capt. Blair's company of U. 8. troops left Pittsburgh for New Orleans; on board the steamer Saranack. We understand the splendid towboat Mary Kingsland has been chartered to carry Capt. Walker's dragoons | and horses to Vern Crus. ‘The ship America, with the | Maryland and Pennsylvania troops on board, which left here on Sunday last, put to sea on the 9th inst., with a fair breeno.—N.

T cannot adequately describe the deep disappointment and sorrow, that tho Into declination of the Chancellor has caused in this community, and I am convinced that communities in evory part of tho State, that have tho capacity to understand the importanco of the labors do- volved by tho constitution upon tho commissioners of the code, and the Chancellor's peculiar ability to perform his allotment of these hoavy duties with high honor, par- take of the chagrin which his resignation has caused in this immediate vicinity. 1 think that circumstances and events which have not publicly transpired, have controlled his ultimate conclusion, and offected a revolu- tion in his sentimonts, There aro men narrow and vilo onough to say that the Chanoellor is looking forward to the chief place upon the bench of the Court of Appeals, and that his strong preferonce for this office has con- strained him to offer this deolination—that cannot well be revoked. This isnot true. I confidently predict that he will retire on the expiration of tho office which he now holds, | cannot tay whatatops tho Legislature may adopt to remedy the difloulty hiohy this unexpected act of the Chancellor hne origfnaged. but the dissolution and e-organisation of the present Board of Comm: contingency. il reported by Mr. Bowie, from the Committee on Military Affa! nization of the first divi- guarantecs es and immunities hitherto enjoyed by the nniform regiments of New York and Richmond.

Polltteal | William M, Murpby, of Greene, is the whig candidate for Congr sain the 4th Congressional district, in Ala- bama. The new town of Lawrence, (Mass.) chose five demo- crata, as selectmen, to serve for the ensuing year, Their names are Nathan Wells, James Stevens, Charles A. Abbott, Dr. Howard, and 8. Rowell. The citizens of Newburgh have determined to present to Col, William G. Belknap, their fellow townsiman, « beautiful dress sword. The sword is an excellent biade, cased by a xeabbard, the outside of which is covered by a richly chased shield, in which is a gold plate, with the following engravad inscriptions:—Fort Erie, Aug. 15th. A814; Palo Alto, May Sth, 1846; Rosnea de la Palm: May 9th, 1846. ‘Betweon the bands on the seabbard is the following inscription, on a solid gold plate:—" Pro- sented by citizens of Newburgh, his native town, to Col, Wm. G, Belknap, U.S. Army.” Col, B. has been constantly in service, at the most exposed stations, and vith the army under Gen. Taylor, from ita entry into Mexico, and has beon in every battle, from Palo Alto to that of Buena Vista, He sustains a high character as a rigid disciplinarian, and is nt this time inspector general in that department of the army. ‘ Commodore Conner has accepted the public dinner recently tendered him by a number of our citizens, Governor Johnson, of South Carolina, has issued his proclamation appointing Thursday, 6th May next, a day of general thanksgiving for the triumph of our arms in the war with Mexico. Hon. John Y, Maron is to deliver the annual address before the alumni association of the college of North Ca- { i Virginia lection. ‘The returns recelved by mail yesterday, settle the | question of the dlection of Atkinson, (democrat) in the first distriet—nlso render it nearly certain that Flour- noy (whig) is elected in the third district, and Preston (whig) in the 12th district. The Richmond Enguirer says —The Lyneiburg mail yesterday brought us very bad news of the elections, which astonished both parties. If the reports from the various counties which we find in the Lynchburg papers (principally in the Virginian), and which we publish to- day, be authentic, we have no hope for the success of Messrs. ‘edway and Chapman in the Halifax and Mon- roe districts ‘The apathy of the Halifax democrats cannot be too strongly censured. They have recklessly sacrificed a valuable and faithful representative, who was fully worthy of their cordial support. But to the particulars, as we find them in the Lynchburg pers:— Flournoy’s whig majority in Pittsylvania . Henry . . Franklin . Tredway’s democratic majority in Halifax. . ....
