king the saddle, although hewas utterly incapable
of getting into it without assistance: lithe mean
time General Persifer F. Smith, the- rb of this
field, who had been actively and indefatigably -en
gagedlall night long, in gaiping the rein df- the er
ectly's entren s ched camp, came thundering down up
on the astoniahed Mexicans. a little after sunrise,
like an Alpine ivalanche. The scene was too' ex
citing fur so ardent and enthusiastill temperament
as chat . of Gee. Pitmen., and forgetting his physical
pains in the exultation of his spirits, tae hurried to
join in the punsuit - of the already fiyingfoe. Arriv
ed at the town of San Angel, some sik.miles from
the field of Contrerai, a halt was directed in order
to refresh he troops and prepare them for the great
struggle of the day, yet to come, in which hundreds
of gallant fellows, now gushed with the morning's
victory, were destined to find their neXt repose in
the steep of death. The General wad, even now,
paying the penalty of hii oter exertion and excite

both urged bitn'to go no farther, as he 'would/ Van •

and pain. Alittle further on, and a. the church of

we calamity encountered that officer;' r who, having
been informed of Gen. PIERCE . A triiefiats of the even

kept' the field, kind'y added the weighi of his influ
ence and authority to the importunities of Lieutenant
FITZGERALD and myself, in order to dissuade Gen.
PIERCE from going into action, now ilready cnm ,
menced. The General, howeter, wasq immoveable
in his determination to lead his brigade into the en
gagement, and the reasons he offered fur so doing,
were too forcible and too consonant with the wrl
dierly feelnge of those who suircninded, him, to ad
mit of any farther remonstrance or expllstitlation.

he deported' himself in the eter memorable conflict
of that day. He accompanied the twrs_it.giments of
his brigade, then at hand (the 12th an 15th,) in an
Iti

did not allow time fully_to "methodize" and elaborate his
view's. Consequently he does that same. ir. ixtense. in
• eommumicetten to the Ne•ionill Intelligencer. In this
deliberately considered essay. Gen. Scott advocates the
passage of a leer providing—
;••That no alien irritiing in the United States after Six

:The only condition on which such aliens shall ever be
allowed the right to vote, according to this Scott scheme
* lsl, that they shall serve two year* in the army of the

}stem. • •
Gen. Scott further declarers. in elucidation and defame*

enough. when, in providing for America we'-leavo the
