THE SEAT OF WAR!
ARRIVAL OF THE NEW YORK
AND ALABAMA TAKING OF BU
RITA CROSSING OF THE RIO
GRANDE BY THE AMERICAN
ARMY CONDITION OF THE
WOUNDED, &c,
Krra the N. O. D-!ta, May 22
The steamship New York, Captain
Philips, arrived yesterday from Brazos
St. Jao, via. Galveston. Her news is
twenty-four hours later than that by the
James L. Day. When the James L. Day
left. Gen. Taylar was at the camp oppo
site Matamoras; when the New York left,
he was at Point Isabel; which shows that
the communication between tJie two
points is free anil uninterrupted. There
is another fact whi :h our readers shoulJ
note. At the time of the previous advi
ces, it was reported that, by order of Gen
Taylor, a bridge, by means of wagons
hitched together, wa3 being made across
the Rio Grande; by this arrive, we learn
that a detachment of one thousand volun
teers and regulars took up their line of
march for the purpose of crossing the
Rio Grande at the mouth of the river, in
lending to enter Matamoras. Taking
these two facts in connection, it would
seem that the design of General Taylor
is to attack Matamoras from two different
points, and probably simultaneously.
We may therefore expect to receive
probably by the next arrival exciting
news, j
We copy the following brief letter from
our attentive uaivesion corrcspon
deet: Galveston, May 19, 18 1G.
Gentlemen Enclosed you will find
an "Extra," containing such news as came
to hand per steamship New Y'ork, from
the seat of war. You will not find in it
any matter of great excitement, as the re
port was, that there was on the part of
!oth armies a disposition to get sronger
fortified, together with greater reinforce
ments. Galveston" has sent off to the ar
ray over three hundred of her citizens,
and we can justly say that they arc the
flower and stamina of our city. Others
arc preparing to go.
Yours, respectfully, J. W. J.
Ir$m the Gaheston News Extra,
May IS, 18 iG.
The steamship New York arrived a
bout 3 o'clock P. M. having left the Bra
zos SL Jago yesterday about 11 o'clock,
being 25 hours from bar to bar.
Soon after the decisive repulse of the
Mexicans on the 9th, Gen. Taylor find
ing that the enemy had entirely disap
peared and left the communication be
tween Ills encampment and Point Isabel
unobstructed, collected the baggage and
plunder which they had left, and returned
to his depot at Point Isabel; having pre
viously sent word to General Arista that
he had permission to send over 200 men
to bury his dead.
The news is not important. No fur
ther engagements have taken place. As
far as we can learn, the Mexicans appear
to have retreated to the other side of the
Bravo.
We learn'from Capt. Philips that Gen.
Taylor is now a . Point Isabel, having re
turned from his encampment. He is di
recting his operations againt Matamoras,
and expediting the march of the troops to
that point as fast as they arrive.
On Friday night a detachment of 1000
volunteers and regulars took up their line
of march for the purpose of crossing the
Rio Grande at the mouth, intending to
enter tli e city of Matamoras. They were
to be joined by 500 seamen, in boats.
The steamship Vesta left on Sunday
morning for the mouth of the Rio Grande
for the purpose of assisting the troops in
crossing the river at that place.
The steamship Telegraph was to leave
last evening (17th) for New Orleans.
The schooueri Francis Seaward arrived
at Brazos Santiago from New Orleans,
on Sunday last, with supplies for the ar
my. Schr. Falcon from N. O. arrived on
Saturday last.

STILL LATER.
The steamship Alabama, Captain Win
die, arrived at this port about 2 o'clock
this morning, bringing late dates from the I
Brazos, whence she sailed on the 19th
insL, at five o'clock, P. M.
Capt. Taylor, U. S. A., Wm. II.Duu.
bar. L. C. Hornsby, F. Fischer and
Mr. Barry, came passengers in the Ala
bama. The Alabama reports that official in
formation had been received at Point Isa
bel that Col. Wilson with four companies
of regulars and three of Alabama volun
teers had taken Burita without the least
opposition. General Taylor was to cross
the Rio Grande on Monday morning the
18th, for the purpose of taking Matamo
ras. Having heard no canonading at the
Point, it was the" universal oponion that
the .Mexicans had evacuated the town.
Gen. Smith's command had commen
ced their lins of marcli on the Island of
Boca Chica. to cross the Rio Grande at
the no'.rh, an! advance ur the river on
t.':c enemy's side.
Col ilirfcs' nJ Col Walton' regi-
mcnts are complete; the steamer Sea bavin"-arrived
on the morning previous to
the departure of the Alabama.
Officers and men all well and in good
spirits.
The officers wounded in the late battle
are doing well.
THE KILLED AND WOUNDED.
The New Orleans Bulletin says, that
it has been ascertained, with certainty,
that the narnberof the killed and wound
ed of the enemy during the battles of the
Sihand 9th, largely exceeded a thousand,
while the killed and wounded of our ar
my numbered but 15G. ,The wounded
oTicrc doing well. Two privates have
died of their wounds since the James L.
Day left.
Col. Mcintosh, 5th Infantry, was pier
ced through the mouth with a bayonet,
and shot in three places.
- Col. Payne, Inspector Gen. shot in

To the Editors of the Picayune:
Here we are within the Vice Rovaltv of
Mexico, at a beautiful little village on the
right bank of the Rio Bravo, eight miles
from the mouth. Old Zack. God bless
him! has through this day planted his
foot on this side of the river. You may
be assured it will not be withdrawn until
all the indignities offered our beloved
country are amply atoned for.
This detachment, consisting of five
companies of the 1st. Infantry and four
companies of Volunteers, with one piece
of artiilev, is under the command of
Lieut. Col. Wilson of the regular army
Ths expedition up this river was origin
ally planned bv our General andtommo
dore to be a combined movement of the
two services.
Some delays arising from rough weath
er, the military part of the expedition
started this morning, and after marching
some ten miles found themselves at this
villasre which is situated on the first
high and drv land above the mouth of the
river: a beautiful ridge with a fine bluff
escarpment. There being an Lngtneer
along it is thought that some fortifications
will be planned, and that we shall be ini
tiated into the art and mystery of throw
ing dirt out of a ditch. The gallant little
army which we have to emulate dug
ditches and threw up entrenchments for a
whole month.
Tii is river is about eighty yards wide,
very serpentine in its course, and about
ten feet in depth.
Yours. A. B.
Point Isahel, Texas, May 13lh, 1S4G.
Gentlemen: Yesterday Lieut. Col.
Wilson. 1st V. S. Infantry, with four
companies of that Regiment. Col. De
sha's Mobile Volunteers and two compa
nies of the Washington Regiment of Loui
siana volunteers amounting to 400 men,
crossed the Rio Grande at its mouth and
took up their line of marcli on its west
or right bank for the 'small town of La
Burita, eight miles above; supported by
the U. S. steamer Neva, Capt. Freder
ick, on board of which was a small de
tachment with a field piece.
The command had arrived the day pre
vious at the marching from Brazos dc
Santiago on the Sea Beach, expecting to
be joined by a detachment of sailors and
marines from squadron, lving a few miles
off ths entrance, to assist in crossing and
to co-operate in their movements, but
were disappointed until the Neva entered
the river and relieved them from their
difficulties, she having been despatched
with supplies, by that indefatigable offi
cer of the Quartermaster's Department,
Major C. Thomas, who was present
with Assistant Quarter-master, Capt. M.
S. Miller, at the crossing.-
To-day an express was received from
Col. Wr: stating his safe and unopposed
entrance into La Burita, where he has
taken up position.
Information was received from General
Taylor last evening thot he intended cros
sing over to Matamoras early to-day.
Early in the morning a few cannon were
heard. I suppose he has taken the place
without opposition, as the remains of the
Mexican army, 2000 men, were two
days since in active preparation for retreat
! to San Fernando, 30 leagues south ths
balance, not killed drowned, or prisoners,

In the retreat from the battle field of the
9th, Generals Arista and Ampudia led the
van on foot through the chaparral, strip
ping off their clothes as they ran, and
when they arrived at the river had noth
ing on but their shirts, streaming in the
wind they plunged in and swam across;
many of their deluded followers sinking
iuto that "sepulchre" that Mejia had pn
mised to "the degenerate sons of Wash
ington." Better far is the situation of
the gallant Gen. M. Diaz De La Vega,
now a prisoner in your city, who stood
manfully at his post, doing his duty until
captured, than fly like a coward. lie is
oue of the few prominent men who is
highly esteemed by all that know him for
his virtues.
The regiment of Louisiana Volunteers
under Col. Walton are now on board
transports, to be landed to-morrow morn
ing on Btzzls Island, thence take up their
line of march, via Sea Beach, for mouth
! of Rio Grande. The balance of General
I Smith's command leave immediately af
ter, same destination, to cross the river
and march up to Matamoras.
Yours, - X.
P. S. The Mexicans lost 100 drown
ed on their retreat crossing the Rio
Grande; most of the wounded, who were
delivered up to them by Gen. Taylor,
have since died by neglect, and want of
hospitable means and supplies.
PAY OF VOLUNTEERS.
We last week noticed the vote in Con
gress on a resolution oflered by Mr.
Stewart to increase the pay of Volun
teers called into ther service of the Uni
ted States; and in order to show in "black
and white" who are and who are not
the friends of the Volunteers, and to pre
vent misrepresentation on the subject
hereafter, we now publish the yeas and
nays on the resolution, remarking only,
that Mr. Tibbatts of Kv., also a Whig
member, had on the previous day oflered
a similar resolution, which met with a
similar fate,

The "Moruing Chronicle, a neutral
paper, makes the following appropriate
remarks in reference to the vote on the
resolutions of Mr. Tibbatts and Mr.
Stewart.
Any one would naturally suppose that
a resolution of this kind would have pass
ed by acclamation. But no. I hose ve
ry men who voted $49,000 for the trans
portation of ofiicere' baggage,, and who
pay the aristocrats of the army from three
hundred to three thousand and four thou
sand dollars a year many of the offi
cers actually receive over a thousand dol
lars a year in extra rations voted the
resolution out of order.
The next day Mr. Stewart offered a
resolution to the same effect as that pre
sented by Mr. Tibbatts. It met with the
same fate. Now, the poor volunteer,
who leaves a family dependent upon him
for support and marches to the scat of
war to fight the battles of his country,
finds his country's gratitude measured by
just SEVEN DOLLARS A MONTH. Out Up-
on such meanness!
One favorite argument with the oppo
nents of increased pay is, that the citizen
soldier should fight for patriotism. If
there is any force iu this it amounts to the
following proposition: Patriotism in the
army is in reverse ratio to the pay, id est,
the smaller the pay, the greater the patri
otism. Hence the corollary: The pri
vates have the greatest amount of pa tri
otism, the inferior officers nonp at all.
The absurditv of such reasoning is evi
dent to the most stupid.
The truth is that the opposition to the
increased pay of privates arises from a
hatred of the laboring classes. These
men about the time of election always
profess the greatest love for this class of
their fellow citizens, and when elected
they take care not to make good their fair
promises. Let the people put a mark up
on all such hypocritical demagogues, and
reward them according to their deeds.

The decline of this venerable State, in
dicated as it is by the successive returns
of census after census, appears pictured
in more impressive colors still by the
more minute and individualized sketches
of particular observers. A correspondent
of the National Intelligencer, writing from
Wrflton, near Richmond, says:
It often seems to me that as yet there
are no people here, and 1 wish, therefore,
to see them come. I have to take up a
spy-glass to see the houses of my neigh
bors, they arc so far off; yet so near am I
to the capitol of about 24,000 inhabitants,
that I can see its spires and steeples, and
almost hear the hum of its labors. Back
of me and below me, off the river as far
as I have explored, I cannot 'find much
else but woods. . I ride for miles and
milc3 in the forests, looking for people
and yet this is the first settlement and old
est part of Virginia ! The people have
gone off: they have settled in Georgia,
Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Louisi
ana, r londa: and now, as if there were
too many people left, a bribe is held out
to go to Texas. It is a shame that this
beautiful country, so blessed in climate,
and so little needing, only the fertilizing
hand ol man, should be without people.
Here is a venerable river running past my
door, older than the Hudson which is
lined with towns and villiages much
older than the Ohio, older in settlement
and geography, I mean, but where are
the people? For a hundred and fifty-
miles, lrom Richmond to Norfolk, the
first explored river running into the At
lantic ocean, the home of Powhatan, and
the scene of the truly chivalrous John
Smith where are the people I Gone, I
say, to the South and West; the trumpet
is blowing among them to go to Texas !
Virginia has here depopulated herself to
make homes elsewhere.
Castle of Sax Juan de Ulloa. The
first object that strikes the eye, in ap
proaching Vera Cruz by water, is the
Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, with the
sprires and domes of the churches peer
ing up in the distance behind it. It
stands alone upon a small rocky Island,
on one side of the main entrance to the
harbor, and only about half a mile from
the wall of the city, and consequently
has complete command of the port.
The entrance on the other side is so barr
ed with broken reefs and ledges, that it
can only be used by small craft in favora
ble weather.
The castle is circular and strongly
built, and heavily mounted. Its principal
strength however, is in its position, inac
cessable except by water, and its guns
pointing every way, leaving no side open
to the attack of an enemy.
The form of the city of Vera Cruz is
semi-circular, fronting the sea. It is sit
uated on an arid plain, surrounded by
sand hills, and is badhj supplied with
ivaler.

this evil; by the construction of a stone

been expended on the work, it was dis

FROM 'HIE " UNION
OF THURSDAY NIGHT.
The New Orleans papers state that a
requisition has been made by Gen. Gaines
upon the Governors of Tennessee, Ken
tucky, Missouri, Mississippi, and Ala
bama for 8,400 troops. We arc not able
to say whether all these requisitions have
been made. We understand that the
States of Kentucky and Tennessee are
the only ones called upon by Gen.
Gaines for volunteers, of which official
information has been received by the
War Department. No man can doubt
the patriotic feelings by which the Gen
eral has been impelled to make these
calls. Bat as the War Department has
already called upon these two States for
