Gen. Taylor assured me that he should
make no movement further than to take
possession of Sjltillo, until he received
reinforcements. Tne volunteer and regu
lar troops had been so reduced by sick
ness and death, and by discharges, that
bis forces were too weak for the respon
pibls work before him. The people at
Moiuerty and this side, seem more spite
ful towards us than ever. From the fur
rier piace thev are constantly moving I
lowarJs San Iju:s rotosi. i am so con
fiient in the wisdom of our Government,
ihulimi sure a new policy will be pur
cued in the future cperaticos of our ar
my ia Mexico. It is useless to czuctHcU
this has been demonstrated. It is use
leas to expand oar means in the enemy's
country, lor they charge the highest pn-
CIS,

throats with the other. As lo their di-,

Our fir! diy's march was to Martin,
t:ie next to Rock River, 12 miles from
Cerralvo, and the third to Cerralvo. The
place is now very dull and sickly, hall
tiie people suffering with fever and ague.
Major Lewis of New Orleans, who is
viJi us, introduced me lo a Mexican
family at Cerralvo, with whom we dined.
The dinner was very excellent, but serv
ed up in the most primitive style. iS'o
knives or f jrks were furnished us, but we
had already learned how to do without
U .1 JiKor J,u,i
Ikjiics for handles, or was cut up into
Messed mouduuls. . As to the thick soup
jind thin hash, all we had to do was to
tezr oiTa slip of tortilla, which is as tough
os rotten leather, bend it into a scoop, dip
itp the food, and eul xjjvoii and alt ! It
requires a little practice to do this adroit
ly, but we had already got the hang of it.
Boiled eggs were brought on. They
were cooked soft, the shells being merely
calded, and set in litde cakes of raw
itaugh.
The tops were opened, and a little stick
about three inches long and of about the
cize of a large knitting-needle, handed to
each of us. As Lewis did all the Span
ish for both, I looked to him for instruc
tians how to eat with these sticks. He
vas at the same time turning side glances
to see me begin. At last I asked him to
show me, as the job appeared as difficult
ts eating sup with a knitting-needle.
Afier hesitating a moment, in evident con
fusion, the .M;jor4fcssed, cold," and in
quired of die Senora. She informed us
that the sticks were to stir in the salt, after
which the eggs were to be sucked. How
stupid we were not to have undeistood
Zbis simple process !
Just before reaching Punta Aguda, we
met Cftpt. Arnold, 2d Dragoous, with 125
wagons, twenty or thirty Sutler's wa
gon?, a detachment of Georgia troops,
and two companies of the 2d Infantry, cn
his way to Monterey. The Captain had
his hands full, but conducted his long
lrcin with admirable skiil having drilled
them to manoevre by the sound of the bu
gle, lie likewise had a detachment of
dragoons. At .Punta Aguda we halted,
took a bath, refreshed the mules, and
continued on to Chichironi creek, with
in one dny's march of Mier. A short
distance on this side of PontAguda, we
met Col May, with a detachment of dra
goons. Tiic country through which we
pasred this day is barred, but abounds
with g imc of various kinds. The next
day we reached St. Jcscph's Plain, and
encamped near a rancho, on the banks of
the Rio Grande.

whom was M. Cowie, ol St. Lini.-s and j
flayed them to death. So further diffieul-
tyis apprehended m Ualn.irma, as the
whole country is now m nossesston ol
Americans.
The route to California which Gen. K.
has selected is vcrv difficult. The d:s-
is G59 miles. There is great scarcity of
water and foraire on the road. Theccm-
pany that brought m te.e despatches was

al lack of discipline, and confusion lias
prevailed ever smceGcn. K. left. Lieut.
Col. Jackson had met the IS a vr. goes and
Apaches, but they refused to make a trea
ty. He sent back to Santa Fe for tuffi
cient reinforcements to enable him Jo make
a vigorous campaign against those hostile
tribes. No news had been receivdd from
Chihuahua. Col. Doniphan was to pro

Colonel Price was to leave Santa Fe on

consists of

The Columbus, 71, Com. Biddle, on
her way home from China, is expected to
go to the Pacific, when Com. B. will be
in command; and will probably retain it
until the arrival of Com. Shnbrick, in the

retain the command for the usual time.

LAKE DISAS TERS LOSS OF

has received aecounis of the loss of the
schooner Helen Strong, and Indian
Queen; the beaching of the schooners
Cleveland, Dayton, J- H. Lyon, LF. S. II.

with goods, and was wrecked above the
lower point of Dunkirk harbor. The
Helen Strong, after losing her rudder and
bursting a steam pipe, struck broadside a
gainst the rock coast; four miles above
Barcelona. The Oeccola was blown a
shore four miles above the Helen Strong,
and the rest of the sail craft arc beached

that the Cyane was blockading the port of
San Bias. The ('vane captured there two

" T n rupinv is so eontemntihle as lo he

tiic truth of which we are now beginning j
to learn, from thedelav cf our conquest of

j derrated Mexican courage, ferocity, and
j martial skill, by confounding semi-barl ar-
I ism with iational cowardice. Mr. 1 oiK.

Should that battle, which Heaven avert,!

we shall have to thank Mr. Polk for all
its consequences, in having provided the
Mexicans with a General in whose skill
and valor they reposed unbounded confi
dence." PROGRESS OF THE PLOT.
It will be seen by the intelligence in our
paper to-day from Santa ie that Gen.
Kearney, acting under the instructions
from the President of the United St ates
has established a Territorial Government
in Mexico, and filled the various ollices
from Governor downwards with such
men as were on the ground, and as will
doubtless 'go it blind' for any schemes of
plunder and aggrandizement, which ths
Administration has yet to unfold. It
strikes us as rather cool even for our pre
sent Executive, this taking possession.
vi ct antiis, of the territory of a foreign
power, and, without consulting the legis
lative branch of the Government proceed
in to annex such territory to the Union
and place i: up under the control of offi

draughts on the U. S.

what law, human or divine, in the Con

to be iustifed ? Do President Polk and
his advisers flatter themselves that the

by the People, and that the Free Slates

FATAL EFFECTS OF GAS.
The writer of an obituary notice of
Mrs. M. G. Bull, of Wcstfield, Mass.
published in the News Letter, states the
following circumstances as (o the cause of
her death : "In August last, she spent a
night at a hotel in Boston ; hcr sleeping
room was lighted by gas ; not knowing the
proper mode of extinguishing it, she suc
ceeded in blowing it out, but left the gas
running in the room all night; unless a
window had been left up, she would un
doubtedly have perished. When she a
woke, her lungs were oppressed, and res
piration difficult. The following day she
ascended to the top of the State House
and to the lop of Bunker Hill "Monument"
and soon after had a slight hcemorrhage
from the lungs, October Gth, she bled
copiously, and continued to do so each
day until the 11th, and diedon the 26th."
