Col. Haskell assembled the scattered re

coming up and casting his eyes over the
gallant little hand, was so struck with the
diminution of their numbers that he de-
inanded, "Where 19 your command,

THE NEWS FROM .MEXICO.
FROM THE Ji. O. riCAYUXE OF JUNE 39.
The .irco-Iris of the 22 J has letters
from the capital w hich appear to be late,
though the dates are not given. - The pur
port of them is, that the work of fortifying
the environs of the city is going on rapid
ly, and that seventy pieces of artillery
h;.d arrived from Acapulco and other
points, which they were mounting as fast
as possible. They mention the arrival
of Alvarez at the head of 8,000 men, and
they set down the entire force in the city
as 20,000 armed militia and 15,000 troops
of the line. These letters further say
that the Clergy are taking an active part
in the business ; that arms of all kinds
wire pouring into the capital and con
siderable sums of money. : " '
The complaints in our army of the tar
diness in receiving reinforcements and
necessary transportation are universal.-
Had these needful supplies of men and
means been forwarded with becoming dis
patch, it is conceded on all hands that
Gen. tScoTT would ere this have taken
possession of the Mexican capital without
meeting serious resistance. Now it is
doubtful when he will again make a for
ward movement. The ICth instant was
the day appoiuted to advance from Puebla
but such were the preparations of the ene
my to receive him that he was compelled
to delay his march until remlorccments
arrived. The rumor which has been so
generally circulated through the city, that
he had arrived within twenty-five miles
of the city of Mexico, is witiiout founda
tion. .
The guerrillas, too, are becoming bolder
in their attacks upon bodies of mem mo
ving along the road. Indications of ob
stinate resistance are rife from every quar
ter, nor can any presage of peace be drawn
from any source, unless there be comfort
in the adage, "the darkest hour of the
night is just before the day."
The force under the command of Gen.
Pillow, which left Vera Cruz on the 18ih
escorted a train of about one hundred and
twentv-five wagons ; the force amounted
to nearly 1,800 men, and we regret that
our accounts induce the belief that it suf-
fcrcd excessively in the first and second
divs' march from the heat of the weather.
The march on the second day is repre
sented as having been particularly severe,
the lime chosen for it being during the
heat of the day, through heavy sand, and
when eleven miles were to be made with
out water. ! One hundred and fifty meu
are said to have been completely knocked
up on this march : six or seven died upon
the road, and the rest were sent back and
were arriving at Vera Crnz in small par
tics at our last accounts. Both our private
advices and the papers from Vera Cruz
impute this trifling with Iile entirely to
the change introduced by Gen. Pillow of
marching during the heat of the day, in
stead of selecting early morning or the af
ter part of the day for such service.
FROM THE N. O. BULLETIN OF JUNE 30.
A letter has been received by the Arm
Orleans from a Mexican officer of rank,
which states there is no prospect of peace;
that even the capture of the capital would
not produce that result ; and that the war
will be prosecuted, on the part of the
Mexicans, with more vigor and bitterness
than ever. For all this of course due al-
lowance must be made, coming from the
source we have mentioned, though we are
inclined to believe that the enemy do not
entertain any intentions of making peace.
If the report is correct that Santa Anna
has been invested with supreme authority
with the exception of the power to make
peace, it looks very ominous of a deter
mination to fight it out on the part of the
enemy. The next advices will be looked
for with great interest, not only from the
headquarters of Gen. Scott, but also from
the detachments with Generals Pillow and
Cadwalader.
Editoriul Correspondence oj the Pica
yune Puebla, (Mexico,) June 5, 1817.
The news from the city of Mexico is
of considerable importance. The report
is that Congress will not accept Santa An
na's resignation, all which he probably
knew when he sent it in, and that he now
intends to carry out his schemes in a more
high-handed manner than ever. To de
fend the capital he appears determined
upon : but instead of adopting a concilia
tory policy, and bringing about a union
of the different parties and factions, he has
sent a number of the most noted officers
either to prison or into exile, and by
threats aud abuse is endeavoring to bring
over their friends to his cause. Officers
who gave their paroles at Vera Cruz and
Cerro Gordo are forced into the army or
else arc treated with violence arid driven
from the city. All the American citizens
in the capital were ordered, on the 1st
instant, to leave at the expiration of twenty-four
hours, either for Jalisco or More
lia, and many were obliged to pack up
and be off without a moments time to at
tend to their business. This tyrannical
decree will ol course be ruinous to the in
terests of all, but more especially to the
heavy commercial houses. In the mean
time every citizen has been called upon
to take up arms for the common defence,
anu me leperos are driven to work at the
fortifications at the point of the bayonet.
Cannon arc being cast at a foundry "in the
city, balls and shells at ironworks near
San Rafael, and other establishments are
busy turning out munitions of war. De
fences are in process of construction at
Chalco, Ayotia, Guadalupe, Chapultcpec,
and other points, and the war-party would
fain believe that they can resist the ad
vance of the "infamous and cowardlv"
North Americans. Great hopes arc en
tertained of the prowess of the Guardia
Nacional composed . of the young men
of the capital, merchants', clerks, law slu
bents, the better class of mechanics, &c
but as it iti known that many of them hire
tenants to etmy their rackets to and
from the parade ground, no great harm
can be anticipated from this force. It is
further thought that the Indians from the
South (the Pintos under Alvarez) will
strike perfect terror into the hearts of "los
Yankee," inasmuch as they cast their ar
rows with great accuracy, and when char
ged upon throw themselves on their backs
and fight vigorously with their machetes,
or short swords. It is fairly presumable
if they undertake this latter game,' that
but few of those who throw themselves
upon their backs will ever rise- to their
Jeet in this world.
It is a very old saying that "those whom
the gods intend to destroy they first make
mad." If the Mexicans are not mad,
then their actions must go for naught.
The pertinacity with which they cling to
Santa Anna is one evidence of their being
demented; and their absurd hope of de
feating the Americans and preserving
their nationality is another. Were a
man gifted with forty different lives, and
were he to lose thirty-nine of them by
drowning while clutching at the self-same
straw, the fortieth he would probably sac
rifice in the same vain efiort. So with
the Mexicans: with the evidence "of a
long list of reverses and malpractices sta
ring them in the face, they still c ling to
the tyrant and his fortunes. He may be
the best man among them ; he is certain
ly the worst.
Puebla, Mexico, June 7, 1847.
We have had an arrival and a mail
from the United States. Lieut. Daniels,
with a number of recruits for the 7th and
other regiments, arrived last evening from
Vera Cruz, bringing dates from New Or
leans up to the 14th of 3ay. The grati
fying intelligence has also been brought
that large reinforcements for Gen. Scott
are on the way, although it is a great pity
they were not sent sooner. But so it has
always been since this war with Mexico
commenced every moment has been too
tardy and procrastinatton has given the
Mexicans, after every defeat, an opportu
nity to recover from the shock and pre
pare for fresh resistance. Who will de
ny Gen. Scott, had he had even 12,000 a
vailable men and a sufficiency of trans
portation, would not at this moment have
been in the city of Mexico, and very like
ly without even a skirmish ? No one in
his senses can dispute it. The fault lic3
not at the door, either of Gen. ScottorGen.
Taylor, that they have not been in a situ
ation to follow up their successes.
Every arrival from the city of Mexico
but confirms the previous reports that the
war party is determined to defend the
capital. One rumor has it that they have
already ninety cannon ofdiflerent cali
bers ; but this is doubtless an exaggera
tion. A Frenchman who arrived to-day
says that Chapultepee, Mexicalsingo,
Guadalupe, and Pcnon Viejo are fortified,
and that at the different points they have
sixty cannon. The Generals in com
mand at these places are Ignacio Gutier
rez, Gaona, Mariana Martinez, and Grc
gorio G. Palomino. That they are not
only casting cannon, but shells and balls,
and with great activity is certain.
-When a movement is to be made upon
the city of Mexico is uncertain, but I pre
sume as soon as a sufficient number of
the new recruits have arrived. Gen. Scott
lays all his plans with the most consum
mate addroitness, and will make the most
of the force the Government has given
him.
The War. The New York Commer
cial Advertiser publishes the following ex
tract of a letter fram a Southern gentle
man, said to be one of the most shrewd
and fai-secing men in the country :
"The war with Mexico is - becoming
more and more serious; every victory we
achieve defers the prospect of peace.
The capture of the capital, which will
soon be effected, will only add to the ex
asperation of tha' people. It is a strange
infatuation with Mr. Polk and his cabinet
which induces them to believe a peace
possible. The Mexicans look upon it as
a struggle for their nalional existence and
for their religion ; and in this view they
are not wrong. They know that any
peace they can make will be attended
with a sacrifice of a part of their country,
and that the extent of our demands will
be in a great measure regulated by our
power to enforce them.
"They have constantly before them the
French invasion of Spain and its conse
quences. It cost France 700,000 men,
and in the sequel Napoleon his throne,
and they think that similar policy on their
part will ultimately lead to our abandon
ment of their country. We may capture
all their cities ; but the 8,000,000 of peo
ple of Mexico will yet remain to be con
quered. In my opinion the plan brought
forward by Mr. Calhoun, in a speech on
the Mexican war in the Senate, is the
true one, and it will ultimately be adopted,
but not until some 20,000 men and fifty
millions of dollars have been sacrificed."
An Argument for Drinking. "Now
I ax you fellers, who's the best citizen,
him that supports guvernment or him as
doesn't ? Why, him as docs, in course.
We support guvernment, every one as
drinks supports guvernment, that is if he
lickers at a liceuse house. Every blessed
dropoflicker that he swollers thar is
taxed to pay the salary of them ar grate
officers, such as Mayors and Corpora
tioners, Hie Constabuls, Presidents and
Custom-housegentlemen. Spose we was
to quit drinkin why guvernment must
fail ; it could'nt help it no how. That's
the very rezun I drinks. I dont like grog
I mortally hate it. Iflfollured my own
inclination, I'd ruther drink buttermilk,
or ginger pop, or Dearborn's sody water.
But I lickers for the good of my country

THE ARMY BILLS.
' The New Orleans Bulletin of the 16th
inst., makes the following statement. It
is but one of many similar occurrences,
and the consequence of ihe refusal to pay
may be judged of when it is known, there
was at'or near Zacatezas, about $1,000,
000 which might have been procured had
the bills mentioned below been paid on
presentation.
Jlrmy Bilh. Wesav on Saturday,
in the possession of one party, $105,000
of bills drawn at Monterey, by the Quar
termaster of Gen. Taylor's army, on the
Quartermaster at this place. The party
wlio brought these bills to this city, is an
English agent, who paid for them in spe
cie, for the pressing wants of Gen. Tay
lor's army, and on presenting them here,
he learns that no funds have been provi
ded to meet them, and the only settlement
he can obtain is ia new bills on the North,
payable after the 1st of July. The a
mount of these drafts was required for
immediate remittance to England, and
every business man can readily imagine,
how great might be the convenience, or
how fatal the consequences, to a mercan
tile house, in having even a much less
sum than this large amount, withheld or
retained on its.ivav, even under the ordi
nary circumstances in commercial affairs;
and how much such injury may be ag
grevated, under the circumstances that
existed in the European money market,
at the last advices.
Coincidences and Reminiscences.
Cols'. Hart and Clay. In the battle
of Raisin, says the Jouisville Courier,
Col. Hart, of the Kentucky volunteers,
was ordered by his superior in command
to reinforce and maintain a position, from
whence a corps of our troops had been
driven by the enemy at which point in
the line he was wounded, and afterwards
massacred by the Indians.
In the battle of Buena Vista, Col. Clay
was ordered by the commanding General
to occupy and maintain a position, from
whence a corps of our troops had been
driven by the enemy. In the discharge
of his duty he was wounded and after
wards massacred by Mexican lancers.
Col. Hart had served as aid-de-camp to
Gen. Harrison. Col. Clay had served as
aid-de-camp to Gen. Taylor. They both
resumed their respective commands in the
line before the day of battle. They were
both wounded with canister or grape in
the leg.- At the periods of their death
they were both in the prime of life, and
about the same age. In their personal
appearance ihey resembled one another.
They were equally distinguished for their
high toned' chivalry, and all the noble
qualities that adorn the character of the
patriot, soldier, and polished gentleman.
It may be "added, that they were beloved
while living by kindred and friends with
the same, ardor of aficction, and in death
mourned in the same poignancy of grief.
Cel. Clay was the nephew of Col.
Hart. '
Wc fake the following from the Mata
inoras Flag of the 19th ultimo:
Assassinations A gentleman recent
ly from Camargo says, that on the pas
sage down he counted no less than six
dead bodies floating on the river 3 Mexi
cans and three Americans. Several pil
ots of our acquaintance inform us that
dead bodies are seen on every trip, gen
erally stripped of their clothing leaving
no doubt that they have met their death
at the hands of assassins. The Indians
are charged with the commission of many
of these murders and as they are frequent
ly seen on the banks of the river, there
can be no doubt that they had a hand in
them.
They deserve Gas !
GOVERNOR SHUNK
Gov. Shuuk and Lady arrived in this
place on Monday evening last, in a private
carriage, accompanied by Messrs. M'Kib
ben and Anderson, from Pittsburgh, and
put up at Mr. Moritz's Hotel. lie re
mained here until Tuesday evening, when
he departed in the stage for Harrisburgh.
It rained during the fore-part of the day,
on Tuesday ; and the' atmosphere was
cold and chilly ; but, quite in sympathy
with the reception which his excellency
received from his old triends in the "Star
in the West." Their shyness on the
occasion, must have forcibly reminded
him of the instinctive forecast of rats in a
sinking ship. Westm

ton Telegraph learns that the holders of
Texas promissory notes and bonds are
going to make strenuous exertions to get
the next Congress to assume the whole
debt of Texas. "They are encouraged to
expect success from the fact that the
claims of Messrs. Dawson & Co., for the
Texas Navy, were recommended to be
paid by a committee of the House of
Representatives at the last session of
Congress. This recommendation was
made on the ground that our revenue was
pledged for the payment of this debt, and
because the United States lias now both
our revenue and the navy."
Buried ALivE.-John Schellinger while
diging a well in Kendall county, (111.) at
the depth of 50 feet below the surface,
was buried alive. The sand got up to his
waist and before the man at the top of the
well could render him any assistance, he
was buried to the depth of 7 or 8 feeta
bove his head in die sand at the bottom
of the well. Every exertion was made
by the neighbours who were soon on the
spot to extricate him, but this was not ac
complished until the evening, when he
was taken out dead, having been 8 hours
under the superincumbent mass. He was
a young man 2 1 years of age from Port
land in the Sute of Maine where his fam
ily resides. : :
FfcAT of a Drunken Max-Thrixuno
Scene. On Thursday evening, just be
fore the steamboat Jewess left Annapolis,
a man, evidently iniosicated, was pei
ceived clinging on the outside of the rail
ing around the eteeoleof the 'State House,
in that city. Soon as he was observed
by the persons below, his dangerous situ
ation became the source of a most intense
excitement. After climbing on top of the
rail he stood upon his feet, and walked
nearly around, with all the loost-jointed-ness
of the inebriate, at the same time
gesticulating violently at those below
onc or twice we ready thought his bal
ance gone ; but, staggering back, he con
tinued his perilous walk around the bal
ustrade. We held our breath until it be
came painful, and tried to look away, but
like the charmed bird under the serpent's
eye we could not. With all the contempt
we feel for the drunken reckless character
of an individual who would thus expose
himself, the sight of a human being in
such an awful situation was productive of
feelings which we do not wish to expe
rience again. After staggering around
some distance, he fell on the inside.

The Young Idea Harpooning. The
Monthly Rose tells the following very
good story of a young whaler in Nantuck
et. No wonder the hardy seamen of that
Island can handle a harpoon with such
singular dexterity, when they begin to
practise so early in life:
"Passing through Nantucket last sum
mer, we stopped at an out-of-the-way
house for a glass of water. As we ap
proaehed the half open door, we beheld
the following scene, which excited our
risibility at the time to a considerable ex
tent. An urchin, some six years old, had
fastened a fork to the end of a ball of yarn
which his mother was holding, when he
very dexteriously aimed at an old black
cat quietly dozing in the corner. Puss
no sooner felt the sharp prick of the fork,
than she started up in jiffy, while the ex
perimenter sung out in high glee, "Pay
out, mother, pay out, there she goes,
through the window !"
A Generous Action. Our neighbor
hood has been so thoroughly drained of
wheat, that it has been somewhat difficult
to find enough for home consumption of
late. A week or two ago, a farmer of our
neighborhood, in view of the foregoing
circumstances, and when all others held
their wheat at from $1,75 to $2 placed
a lot of wheat in R. II. Smith's mill in
this village, expressly to accommodate
the mechanics, and the poor of the neigh
borhood giving directions to the miller
not to charge over SI, 50 per bushel, and
not to let any person have more than two
or three bushels for their own use.-Pcrry

Dr D. JAYNE. Dear Sir : I fee!
bound to you and the public, to avail my
self of this opportunity of giving publici
ty to the extraordinary effects of your
expectorant on myself. Having been
afflicted for several years with a severe
cough, hectic fever, and its concomittant
diseases, I seemed only doomed to lin
ger out a short but miserable existence,
until the fall of 1839, when beinr more
severely attacked, ahd having resorted to
all my former remedies, and the pre
scriptions of two of the most respectable
physicians in the neighborhood, without
deriving any benefit, or the consolation
of surviving but a few days, or weeks at
farthest, when the last g'eam of hope
was about to vanish, 1 had recommended
to me your Expectorant, and blessed
by that Being who does all things in the
use of the' means and contrary to the
expectation of my physicians and friends
1 was in a few days raised from ray bed,
and was enabled, by the use of a bottle,
to attend to my business, enjoying since,
belter health than I had for ten years
previous, Janes W. Estill.

Dr. D. JAYNE. Dear Sir : Having
been for a long time afflicted with Bron
chitis, a disease which annually sweeps
away thousands of the human race to a
premature grave, under the mistaken
name of Consumption ; and having heard
of the wonderful efficacy of your Ex
pectorant for Coughs, Asthma, Difllculiy
of Breathing, and every other disease of
the Lungs, I purchased two bottles of it.
and am happy to inform you, and all
the sons and daughters of affliction, that
it immediately suppressed ihe cough re
moved the pain and difficulty of breathing
and produced a free and easy expectora
tion, and very soon effected a complete
cure.
