Another steamship, which sailed from Vera Cruz
the evening of the 9th instant, arrived at New
Orleans on the 18th, with seven companies of The
Illinois volunteers, on their return home, be mus
tered out OF service. The other discharged regl-
ments were TO follow as fast possible.


The cause Tor sending these troops home several
weeks before the expiration Of their term of service
is thus explained by the ".iaiapu STAR"


"'fHE TwELyE MoSrHs VoLU USrEERs-Four regiments Of
the above troops will leave here to-day for Vera Cruz In
dschaTging these the time he does Gen Scorr has
been acuaed by feelings the commendable. lie has
been advised that Vera Cruz is quite healthy, and,
knowing that IN very few weeks the vomto will set in he

He would be gad know, that they would enter the
SERVICE but not all dspeased at the alternative they have
adopted In few weeks they would have the right OF
turning by law and they express their gratitude to the COM

them at time when they will have fever contend against
Three Tennessee regiments two from Illinois, one from
Georgia, and one Alabama regiment, and Capt Wiiamss
Kentucky company, are the ones TO be disbanded.

ORLEANS TIMES.


ONWARD MovEMENTs.-Our correspondent, in
relation to the future progress of our arms, says


cit is currently believed that Gen Scott has orders not to
upon the city Of Mexico until October do believe
the story SELF but know that the General is very much
cramped in the way of oops at least three thousand
will have left him within the of few days, and he will
then be left with fewer than nine housandsome think
housand-troops in the field His ranks thinning daily,
also, by sickness and death, and his renfocemens in
very slowly indeed. What force this to invade country
of the extent of Mexico One would suppose that number
to be required guard the road aone infested is with
guerilla bands and aided with sronghods ani chaparras that
afford the enemy advantages of position and conceal
ment."


The New TAR1Fr.-This instrument does not
seem TO be in great favor at Vera Cruz. Complaints
increase as its provisions become better known and
their operation felt. Our correspondent, under
date Of the 7th instant, gives the following:


'.The new Tariff went operation to-day and is looked
upon with disgust than have not heard
dvijua speak in its favor and objections its provisions
start up every moment IL would require army carry
into effect the weighing and the measuring, and open
ing packages and arranging schedules must form nnt,
amount of tedious labor if il probable that the mpora
tions would be large; but such not the probability Anne
merchants for whose injury the miserable con
cern seems to have been got up will fancy have but little
do with such trade and those of foreign countries will
pretty certainly not try twice The merchants resden
here do but little business under it. they have very lit
tie money present. and every dollar of the duties
be paid in cash upon entering the goods.


ssThe practice under the old tariff has been require,
all sums less than thousand dollars cash for onerd
and good bonds for the payment of the other two thirds


nsaments, at thirty, sixty, and ninety days; thou
sand dollars, two, four, and six months made the tim
of payment for the whole duty all well secured by the bes
bonds Under these circumstances the merchants have bee
enabled do fair business and to pay handsome
to the house-somemes single invoice from carg
yielding twenty five thousand dollars duties This
be done Many of the earlier thirty yday bonds
falling due and, closed up the national capital ii
money must be here raised pay them with This with Il
prepaymens making will almost strip the market al
whence the cash for the advances
required large cargo cannot be again entered here
months. in my opinonexcept indeed the shipper send t
money with which TO pay the duties Smuggling will be
red on 10 an immense extent from New Orleans and Havana
and do not hesitate TO say that it should be so.n
