Further Items of Mexican News.
Owing to the great press on our columns yesterday, we were under the necessity of postponing a number of interesting paragraphs-although our correspondents give an excellent summary of the news-yet we find some items of interest more in detail, which we subjoin, principally from the American Star. That paper of the 23d publishes the following:

Maj. Gen. Scott.-This warrior chief-the greatest of the age-left this city yesterday for his native land, though not as we had hoped to see him leave. The Court of Inquiry having adjourned at a late hour the day before, he had but little time to arrange his papers, and make such preparations as were necessary for the speedy departure he had settled on. It was not known until a late hour in the evening that the General would leave the next morning, and few gained access to him; for, worried as he was by the fatigues of the day, and having a long journey before him, he retired to rest as soon as the preparations were gone through with. Yesterday morning his friends-and their name is legion-assembled on the street fronting his dwelling, and, as he was too much overcome to receive them all, those who had not the happiness of shaking him by the hand were glad to get a sight of him as he departed. Those who had not even the chance of seeing him, mounted their horses and followed him on the road, determined that he who had led them from victory to victory should not leave the valley of his great operations without one adieu. Around his carriage-for he was too much exhausted by his late heavy labors and the emotions of his parting with his brothers in arms, to ride on horseback-as it proceeded along the causeway of El Penon, the officers crowded, and as fast as one could give the "God bless you, General," and fall back, his place was supplied by another, and so the adieus continued for a long way on the road. But the most affecting scene of all was when he left his house. The Rifle Guard was drawn up to receive him, and as he passed, and they presented arms to their beloved commander for the last time, they shed tears like children; and so affected was the old hero that he could scarce get into the carriage.

Gen. Scott's Last Night in the Capital.-A large assemblage of the friends of this noble and gallant soldier collected in front of his quarters the night before last, and bid him farewell by a grand serenade. Several very appropriate and touching airs were played at the close of the spirit-stirring sounds of "Hail to the Chief," the commanding form of the General was seen to come to the front of the balcony, from whence he bowed his thanks, silently it is true, but the feelings of many a bounding and warm heart responded, and three loud and hearty cheers were given to Gen. Scott as he disappeared from the window. The party then separated, but we have no doubt before they all retired that night the festive board resounded his praise, and the wine glass sparkled as the guest, in flowing bumpers, drank "long years and happiness to the brave old General."

Major A. D. Stewart, the senior Paymaster in the field, Col. Randall, being ordered to New Orleans, will, we understand, assume the duties of that office at once. A short acquaintance with the Major warrants us in saying to those who do not know him, that they could not possibly find a more affable or gentlemanly man to transact business with.

The Special Commission.-The case of Lieut. Isaac Hare was disposed of yesterday, but of course the finding is not known. Lieut. Mathison, of the same regiment, one of the arrested whose names we have before given, was cleared of the charges preferred, but a nolle prosequi was entered, and he was again remanded to prison. Another officer of the army, Lieut. T. B. Tilden, of the 2d Infantry, whom the State evidence implicates in the matter, has been also arrested. The case of Lieut. Dutton will commence, we hear, on Monday next.

Lieut. G. W. Rains leaves for the United States this day. To him the Military Academy at West Point is much indebted for his exertions to procure minerals, antique coins, etc., for the institution.

The Last Train.-We give the following, being the names of the officers who came up with the last train, under command of Lieut. Col. Loomis: Major Pitcher, commanding 1st Battalion; Capt. Bainbridge, 2d Battalion; Capt. Shover and Battery; Capt. Simmons, 7th Infantry; Capt. Campbell, 11th Infantry; Lieut. Frost, Voltigeurs; Lieut. M'Laus, 7th Infantry; Lieuts. Foster, Kelman, Walsh and Nicholas, 11th Infantry; Lieut. Hooper, Voltigeurs; Lieuts. Sanford and Scott, 14th Infantry; Lieuts. Green and French, 15th Infantry; Lieut. Nowes, 2d Artillery: Lieut. Crozet, 8th Infantry; Lieut. Robinson, 5th Infantry; Lieut. Adams, Mass. Regt.; Lieut. Sawtelle, 5th Ind. Regt.; Lieuts. Harrison, Engineer Corps, and Mc. Neil, 2d Artillery, attached to Shover's Battery; Doctors Crane and Tenbroeck, Medical Department; Doctors Reeves, Crittenden and Quin; Mr. Southwick, of Troy, N.Y.; and Mr. Shaw, artist.

The train was one of the heaviest and richest, perhaps, that has left Vera Cruz since the campaign opened. The troops numbered 1800 strong, which, by-the-by, is represented to us as being one of the best appointed in the service; in addition to which, there were about 5,000 pack mules, and some 500 Mexican traders' wagons along with it.

The distance from Vera Cruz to this city has been ascertained very accurately by means of a measuring wheel attached to Capt. Shover's Battery. We shall, as soon as possible, lay before our readers the result of the Captain's measurement.

The Star, of the 25th, contains a long account of the battle of Rosales, the particulars of which were given in the letters of our correspondent. "Chaparral." Gov. Trias, who commanded the Mexican forces, has been arrested by the Government, on what charge we are not informed. We extract the annexed articles from the same journal we have so frequently quoted:

The Two Governors.-The Monitor protests against the justice of an article in El Progreso, placing the two imprisoned Governors-Adame of San Luis, and Trias of Chihuahua-upon a similar footing. It says Trias (one of the papers by a typographical error has it Trist) has not been engaged in fomenting internal war, in conjunction either with demagogues or monarchists. It says he has no equal among the military men of Mexico. He has been on the battlefield to contend for the honor, independence and life of his country. Can anything like this be said of Adame, the instigator of revolutionary movements? We think the Monitor is nearly in the right. The defence of Rosales by Trias, an account of which is given in another place, against the American force under General Price, was certainly all that could be expected of any commander. Considering that he had great odds to contend with, his gallantry and bravery were deserving of all praise. Gen. Price complimented him for his defence, as did also Anaya, the Minister of War, in reply to his official report of the action.

The Official Register of Durango contains a communication from the Minister of War to Trias, late Governor and Commandante-General of Chihuahua, stating that he is at liberty. [The reader will remember that he was sent to Chihuahua from Rosales, after the battle, by Gen. Price.] He says the Provisional President, the moment it was known that the American troops were advancing upon Chihuahua, determined that reparation should be made in case of disaster. It was therefore agreed with the American Commander-in-Chief that if any Mexicans should be captured, they should not be held as prisoners, nor warlike stores and munitions to be considered as lawful prize. Sr. Trias, is, therefore, set at liberty; the trains, &c., are to be restored, and, as the editor of the Register remarks, "there is only one loss that will be felt, that of the brave men who fell at Rosales."

Caught at Last.-A few weeks ago we advertised a reward for a sum of money stolen from the Gran Sociedad. The money belonged to Boyden & Co. Yesterday Auguste Rover was arrested on the charge of taking it, and he confessed it. One thousand and four hundred dollars of the money was found deposited in a merchant's safe in Espiritu Santo.

Col. Kinney.-We neglected to mention the arrival of Col. K. yesterday. He is still riding Selim, and as fast as ever, for he came from Puebla here in one day.

Ladrones are all about us, committing their depredations in broad day as well as in the night.
