In extenuation of the unfortunate policy of the
ANNA was placed at the head of the Mexican army,
the Nashville Union" of the 9Th instant says:


"We not that any mischief has been done by
Santa Anna the advance of On the contrary,
we think that if keep such towards the head Of the
Mexican army shall have easy work of it, compared with


what should have if Paredes, Arista Vega were al
the head Of the Mexican forces and have also supposed
that he would make peace he could though he
has appear be warike to do away the charge OF
cowardice"


The above is refuted by all the accounts which,
from time TO time, we have been in the habit of re-
ceiving from Mexico. These, coming from the
correspondents of the press and intelligent officers
and others connected with our army-and sustain
ed too, by the apparent state of the public feeling
as exhibited Ivy the Mexican newspapers-all coin
eide in representing SANTA ANNA as the most for
midable foe we have to encounter in Mexico. The
first paper which we opened yesterday, after read
ing the above in the " Union," was the Springfield
Inois) Journal of the 10th instant, containing
notice of the return to that place of COL BAKER, re-
Gently from the seat of war. The Colonel says
according TO the statement Of the Journal "that
: SANTA ANNA is great man, and that no other
Mexican scould control the population of that
country, raise armies, and inspire them with
age to fight the North Americans equal to HIMSELF
Such, SO far as it has been expressed, appears to
be the opinion of all our people who have been in
Mexico.
