A LITTLE 7, ATER FROM VERA CRUZ. .TCO'l TUT. NEW ORLEANS TIMES OF OCT, 4. j The steamship Alabama arrived at an j carl- hour this morning, having sailed ! ,from Vera Cruz on tho 26di, and from .Tnmpico on the 30th ultimo. Among ).q passengers were Gusto Sierra and Ra fnei CarmjaL, Commissioners appointed hy iIk; Sute of Yucatan to proceed to Washington. The news if so it may be styled -by .this arrival is exceedingly meager, and radds little to our previous stock of infor mation, but, cs even the slightest rumor .fruin the seat of war is listened to with avidity, we anticipate cur regular issue, 50 as to lay before our readers all the in telligence that has come to hand. 'j ne reports which came by the James .. Day are substantially confirmed. :JIaj. Capers, of the United States army, 4i passenger by the Alabama, informs us lhat the battle of "the Mill del Rey" was fought on the 8th, and the bloody engage ,Tuent of Chapultcpec on the 13th, and that Gen. Scott entered the city of Mexi co on the 15th ultimo. . The heights of Chapultcpec were car ried at the poiutof the bayonet, and our -loss ia consequence was very severe. Mexican sources at Vera Cruz report that eighty of our oSicers and one thousand .iiicn were put hors de combat by the storming of the fortress; but at Tampk-o lnis was believed to be a gross cxaggera lion, as the Mexican forces retreated too speedily to bring about so untoward a re tail. 1 here had been no arrival at vera Cruz from the interior, and the informa tion above related was received in private loiters at Tampico. We have before us the first number of anew paper established at Vera Cruz, under the title of El Gcnio de la Liber of the 25th ultimo, from which we select several items of interest. By far ihe most important document that meels our eye is the following circu lar from the Minister of War and Marine, addressed to the Commandants General cf the Department?, subsequent to the disastrous defeat of the Mexicans at the capital. From a perusal of the paper it appears that the city did not experience the horrors ofa bombardment. Indeed, .the Gcnio de la Libcrtad says: "The official despatches have not yet trrived from the army, but the surrender of ihe capital is now placed beyond all doubt. It is extremely gratifying to us, ss friends of humanity, to learn that San ta Anna retreated from the city and saved Gen. Scott the alternative of destroying it and shedding innocent blood. We hope lhat the . Mexican people will soon see the necessity cf peace, and use all honorable means calculated to bring a houta result so desirable to all. The coun sels of ambitious and designing military men, prevailing over those of her less pretending but certainly more judicious citizens, have too long swayed the desti nies of tha nation. FEOMTIIE OREGON BATALLION. The St. Lonis Union pnblishes a letter -received by Col. Robert Campbell, of that city, dated Fort Kearney, Table creek, September ISth, which says that Compa ny A. (Sublette's Rangers,) reached that place on the 13ih, and that the remaining companies would arrive on the following iby. They had commenced cutting hay tind huil Jing- winter quarter?, the letter adds; "A party of the Olto Indians came to this place on the 17th. A large party of Sioux had attacked their village, killed 20 or the tribe, burned the village and dc ttroyed the corn. Some of the children Tvere drowned whilst crossing the river. The Pawnee farmer came to our camp on Ihe 17th and reported some 7 or 800 Si oux at the Pannce village destroying the corn. The Pawnees were all on a hunt, end ihe Sioux intended remaining there until they return. The Sioux went to the farmers house, and destroyed the Llacksmith shop, with all the tools, and such property as they were able. The farjuer and sevcu men with him came in 'to us Company A. will leave here on the 3d for Grand Island, Platte rirer. The En gineer will accompany us, to select a place fot building a fori next spring. Yc ill return to this place in thirty clay?. . The Indian difficulties will make it necessary to send an additional force of mounted men to the Plains. The Union" says: Lieut Hall arrived at Fort Lcavcn trorUt last week with GG recruits for Company A. 1st Infantry. The compa ny now numbers 112. The Arkansas ba .tallion has also arrived at the Fort.

KROa THE DALTIMORE AMERICAN. ; The train of cars from Cumberland, with the Western mail, due on Friday evening, arrived here on Saturday about six o'clock P. M. We learn that, with the exception of the Patterson Viaduct, none of the bridges on this road were in jured, the detention being caused by the water on the road, which was so high at several points as to put out the fires in the locomotives, and thus effectually stop the J travel. ' The train from Cumberland, regularly due on Saturday evening, arrived here yes terday morning between three and four o'clock. The conductor of this train re ports that the water has subsided, and that the road has been pJt in such a stat of repair as will ennble the trains to pass o- verit with their usual regularity ' ' The Winchester r.nd Potomac railroad, leading from Harper's Ferry to Winches ter, Virginia, has been much damaged, two lame embankments having been en- tirely swept away. The country in and around Harper's Ferry was completely inundated and the damage done to private property is represented as very great. The Tide water Canal, we are enabled to say, has escaped without injury from the late heavy rains. A communication trom Havre de Grace, received on Satur day, states that the Susquehanna river was rising very slowly about an inch per hour and lhat the canal line was in good order. " The rain could not have been so heavy in that quarter. The Susquehanna railroad and the Philadelphia railroad have continued their operations without any iterruption. Several huiidings at Jamison's Powder Mills, on Gwinn's Falls, were carried away and lodged agamstthc county bridge. The Powhatan (Mason's) fine new dam was uninjured, the water rising to within a few inches of the top of the abutments. The Franklin dam (Wethcred's) was slightly injured. The water passed en tirely over the abutments, which, how ever, remained firm. The Ashland dam (Wethered's) was uninjured. Tho Calvcrtondam was much injured. One entire abutment was car ried away, and the race broken in one or two places. The county road in tfie vi cinity was completely inundated, and is now impassable. The bridge over the stream on the Fanklin road was carried off, as well as a house on the Ian J of Mr, Gelston. '. . ; The account in Saturday morning's A merican is incorrect of the sweeping a way of the dam of masonry at the works of the Savage manufacturing Company by the late freshet. An upper dam of no great value, and only used in dry seasons. was swept away, which in its course car ried away the abutments only, of the stone dam, and about six feet of the race. Two thousand five hundred dollars will cover the damsge. The Wiilisrespcrt (Md.) Times of Fri day has the followi-vr:- . 'Vc stop the press to inform-our readers that t..erc is at present one of the grentest freshets in ihe Potomac and. Co nocheaugue that has ever been known. Stables, hog-pens, fences, corn, trees, wood, fec, arc coining do wit, and the scene looks frightful. The extent of the damage is enormous." At Cumberland the flood has been rarely witnessed Allenrlianjan says: was such as there. The "On thursday afternoon, for several hours, one half cf the town-from Chnrch street to Will's creek was standing in water. Not only were the cellars filled, but many families were compelled to re tire to the second stories, and others to leave their dwellings. , -, "Jennon's run, Brsddock's run, and the ether tributaries of Will's creek also rose to cn unusual height, and lam Quantities of fencing, lumber, &c.t were swept away.

At Frederick the flood was more de structive than anv that has occurred for years. The Herald says: "Carroll creek which passes immedi ately through the town, overflowed its banks on Thursday night, about 12 o' clock, carrying destruction in its track. 'The bridge in Mill alley was swept away, and the tannery of Gideon Blantz, son., and the City Mill much damaged by the overflow of wafer. The houses on the creek between Mill alley and Patrick street were completely inundated. The bridge at Patrick street was also material ly damaged. A small building at this point was swept away, and the pave ments in the street torn up by the force of the water. ' "The tannery of Mr. Gideon Bantz, jr., is the scene of great destruction. The lanyard of Caspar Quynn, Esq., also suf fered considerable damage. We have been unable to obtain the par ticulars of the loss by this disaster, but have no doubt it will bo very heavy, - "The Monocoey is also swollen to an unprecedented height, its banks over- ' . ...K:-t, u ,i great damage and loss of property. We have heard no particulars. At Fredericksburg (Va.) the overflow on Friday was very disastrous, the water being higher than since 1812. Falmouth bridge was entirely swept off, and a por tion of Coulter's also. Mr. Knox had 15.000 barrels f flour floating in his mill besides a larce quantity of bran and shorts. Mr. Ficklin, in Falmouth, lost a great deal in the same way. From the Blair County WAA. Friday Evening, Oct, 8, 1847. SUDDEN FRESHET : AND GREAT DESTRCCTION OF PROPERTY ! On Tuesday last it commenced raining and increased in violence until Thursday, when it descended in torrents. This swelled the mountain streams that flow into the Juniata, until the accumulated waters burst beyond its banks, and in their resistless course swept off houses, bridges, fences, fields of corn and oiher valuable property. . : Among the losses in Gaysport we have heard of, are the following:- . A frame building occupied by James Patton as a -store most of the goods saved." Another frame building in which was kept a Drug Store by Daniel Young, and a Justice's office, by Samuel Smith. Also, Roycr & Co s. Ware House; Charl ton's Tailor Shop; Herring's Blacksmith Shop; a Barber Shop, and a back building belonging to John Low. The Bridge across ihe Upper Basin, and the Feeder Aqueduct below this place, were demolished. , We learn that the Saw-Mill and a part of the Mill Dam at Allegheny Furnace were destroyed the water approached to within a few inches of the Furnace Hearth.' Several bridges in Allegheny township, and in the vicirdty of Newry and Free dom, were carried away. It is rumored that the first Aqueduct a bove the "Four Locks," at. Sprang's is gone that a large portion of the em bankment at the Crooked Dam is washed away, and that three breaks have occur red between this place and said Dam. We fear our Canal has sustained such injury as will stop navigation for the re mainder of the season. The Viaduct at Jefferson, on the Port age Rail Road, has been carried off, and material damage has been done this part of our Public Improvement. . : ..; As yet the Reservoir Dam has not been injured. : ., i . ; This freshet is supposed to be as great as the one in 1838. The rain is pouring down at the time of our writing and there is nothing indicative of an ' alteration in the weather. . . - In our next number we veill bo able to give Ettufoctory . pixticulars. tr w ?v? t TuEAsrRER. j Commissioner. - s t y ei r w k . - V;.
