' - f O J THE WAR. - " - From the New Orleans Delta. 7th March. LATEST MEXICAN NEWS. By the arrival, at a late hour this morn ing, of the steamship New Orleans, four daya from Vera Cruz, we have received our correspondence and file of Mexican papers. A desperate conflict between Lieut. Col. Biscoc's command and a power ful force of guemlloes occurred on the evening of the 19lh of February, at a place called Matacordera, on the Orizaba road, in which Lieut. Henderson, of the La. 'Volunteers, was killed. He fell in a hand to hand conflict. Four of the Georgia Dragaons, who were part of Col. Biscoe's command, were also killed, and three men of the La. Battalion wounded. Theguerri lloes having been driven from the field, Col. Biscoe's command proceeded unmo lested to Orizaba. The body of Lieut. Henderson was brought to Vera Cruz on the 1st instant. It is to be sent to this city for interment. Lt Henderson was a native of Maine, a prtnter by trade, and before going to Mex ico, worked in the Delta office, together MrFreaner (our correspondent, Mustang) and Capts. Fairchild and Kerr. The following officers were in the en gagement : Lt. Col. Uiscoe, command ing; Capts. Waffoid and two Lieuts., Ga. Mounted Men; Capt. Geo. Kerr; Lts. Henderson, Berry Hook, Hunter and Mitchell. We take the following from the Free A incrican of the 2dinst. Our correspon dent at Vera Cruz expresses his- belief in its accuracy. Rumor. At a late hour last evening we learned that an express had arrived from Mexico How true it is there is no say ing. All we know is, that it is rumored that an armistice has been agreed upon for two months, by Gen. Butler and the Mexican Commissioners. The anniversary of Washington's birth day was appropriately celebrated at Vera Cruz. The ships were decked off with flags; the consuls of foreign nations dis played their national banners: salutes were fired; Gen. Twiggs held a levee ; at night the town was illuminated, and balls were numerous, and well attended. A company of Louisiana Volunteers, who fancied themselves enlisted as cavalry conformity, as he says, to orders from the General Government. Pronuhciamento in the State of Puehla. An unsuccessful attempt to raise an in surrection band upon the plain of San Luis, was made at Tucatlan,in the latter part of January, by one Estivan Barbero, Com mandant General of the State. It went oft half cocked. The Governor of Puebla, Isurza, is a sensible, pacific man and friendly to the Americans. He denoun ces the'attemptin the strongest terms. An ominous silenceand quietude prevails through the States of Morelia, Jalisco and Guanajuato. The citizens of the former complain of the heavy -war contributions imposed upon them. It is rumored that the Ex-Governor of Guanajuato is organiz ing a force for some purpose not generally known. San Luis Potosi. The Star has news from this State to the 26th January. The papers of that State are full of war and pronunciainientoism. Cuernavaca, although less than sixty miles from Mexico, is as warm as the tier ra caliente. The town is not so large as we first represented it, but it is pleasant in the extreme. Cortez, when the weather was too cold for him here, would retire to Cuernavaca, at which place he built a palace, and it still stands there, though falling to decay. In that building a com pany of our artillery is now quartered. In the neighborhood, and in view of this palace, are numerous haciendas which skirt Hie valley, and the people are represented as being verv industrious. Besides all the tropical fruits, are numerous coffee fields, the article growing equally as well in the West Indies. The people are more sociable than in other places, and there is scarce a day that our officers are not invited to dine with the natives. Before Colonel Clark's brigade entered Cuernavaca, many of the principal fami lies left it. but they are now returning Gens, llincon, Alvarez and Quijano left it just before our troops were in. The family of Rincon is still there: Alvarez was quartered about ten leagues oft with only 1300 pintos. Notwithstanding the order he issued, prohibiting the entrance of supplies, the market was never better sup plied. Fkom th?. Intkmor. We conv the following items from the American otarnrt forms the army of his suspension, in the fol lowing admirable order- It is the best thing that Gen. Scott ever wrote: Headquarters of the Army, Mexico, Feb. 18, 1848. j General Orders A"o. 49. By instructions from the President of the United States, just received, Major General Scott turns over the command of this army to Maj. Gen. Butler, who will immediately enter upon duty accordingly. In taking official leave of the troops he has so long had the honor personally to command in an arduous campaign, a small part of whose glory has been, from position, reflected on the senior officer, Maj. Gen. Scott is happy to be relieved by a General of established merit and distinction in the service of his country. By command of Maj. Gen. Scott, H. L. HCOTT, A. A.A.G. The Star says that on Sunday night last an American was killed in the lower part of the city, and horribly mutilated his tongue and heart were cut out, and in fact he was literally cut to pieces. The 14th Regiment, which we have spo ken of before as containing the largest and finest looking men in the army, have been reduced to less than a battalion. Vera Cruz, Feb. 27, 1 848. Eds- Delta Col. Belknap, U. S. A, and Gen. Towson, Paymaster General, left here jesterday morning for the city of Mexico, with an escort of the Louisiana Volunteers, under the command of Capt. G. W.

Delta Since the departure of the Virginia no steamer has left this port for New Orleans. The Oi l cans has been de tained by the Quartermaster, in expecta tion of a -train from the city of Mexico, but on the 19th ult. it had not left yet, and it is now rumored that it will not leave before the 3d inst.

The attack seemed to be a con certed matter, quite a large body of 'greascrs" being armed with pistols. 1 hey The bids were opened this dav bv the acting Secretary of the Treasury, in the THE PACHECO SLAVE CASE. -This case has been before Congress for several years. We notice that Mr Burt of South Caroli na, has now charge of it, as chairman of the com mittee on military affairs. The report of that committee gives the following facts in the case, which will be found interesting; particularly to slave owners : - It is proved that Pacheco was the own er of a negro slave named Lewis,, who was hired by an officer of the army, du ly authorized, from his owner, as an inter preter and guide to the ill-fated command of Major Dade; that he was one of the few survivors of the disastrous defeat of that command, and remained, either voluntarily or as a captive, among the hostile Indians until the spring of 1837, when he accompanied Jumper, a Seminole chief, to one of the military posts in Flori da; that he was then claimed by his owner, and the military commander, in whose con trol he was, refused to deliver him to his owner, and ordered that he be sent with the Indians to the west, because he deem ed his transportation proper, inasmuch as he was considered capable of exercising an injurious influence over the Indians, and that in pursuance of this order he was transported to the west, and his owner thereby deprived ot his value. The constitution provides, that "no per son shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law, nor shall private property be taken for pub lic use without just compensation. The slave was let to hire by a contract made by competent persons. He was de livered to the bailee, by the owner, in pursuance of that contract. The sum of twenty-five dollars, the hire for a month, was paid to the owner. Either party to the contract might have put an end to it at the expiration of the fir-t month or of any subsequent month. The slave was hired to be the interpreter and guide of Dade's command, on its march from Fort Brooke to Fort King. It does not appear that Lewis was hired for a longer period than one month; and it is believed that the march from Fort Brooke to Fort King might have been accomplished within that time. But it is not proved that the owner put an end to the contract; and by its terms it must have continued until this was done by the bailee restoring the slave to the possession of the owner. It is the duty of one who hclds the property of another at contract, to the owner; and he cannot avoid liability for its value unless its delivery gle one.

In last Saf nr. day s Carolinian, we find an article urn-in the claims of Mr Leak as the next demo cratic candidate for Governor. In this ar ticle we see that our friend Bajne says the "democracy of New Hanover and several other eastern -counties are for Mr Leak. So far as New Hanover is concerned, we j do not know that she has thus far, in any snape, expressed her preference for any one. We do think, however, that, so far as we can gather the tone of-our party in this county, they are decidedly in favor of Mr Leak. For our own part we have no personal preferences. We -will sup port Mr Leak, should he get the nomina tion, with our whole heart and soul. We were much pleased with the magnanimous course which he pursued in resigning his pretensions during the last campaign, and thereby preserving the harmony of our party. We also do know that 'Mr Leak, wherever he addressed the people, during the short time he was engaged in the can vass of the State, made a most favorable impression. Wc feel confident he would make a capital tun. Should he be ofcr candidate, Mr Manly will have something more to do than to walk over the tif. Once on a time when that gentleman is a whiE candidate for a seat in the Si Senate, he had a farmer as his opponcit, and if we are not much mistaken, he Sir M.) had little to brag of in their bout the stump.
