Beady to copy such an article-—aff&hiclc which we have rea son to believe he knew to.bo faleo from beginning to. end—-does not surprise os. A fellow whq,haB~Bpont tbs best part of his life in slandering other men, and who, when ho resided in . Lancaster, county, was kicked from every low groggery in the borough of Columbia, because of bis beastly habits, is well cal culated to do thb dirty work of others. This con temptible ninny, in his attempts to palm himself off upon this, community, as a man entitled to respect, goes to show how an impudent poltroon will some times try to hide his (rue character.' Wo may take tho trouble, when wo liavo more leisure, of stripping this hireling of the Herald of tho mantle which hides his corruption, and exhibit him to the people of Cum berland county, in bis true character—a character which ho so fully sustained before bis residence hero —that of a low, degraded, and despised villain. BTThe “’Perry Standard,” a little, contemptible, 1 eickly sheet, which is so fully appreciated by the people of Perry, that its weekly circulation amounts atmoif to two hundred copies, appears very much oat of humor with us because of our remarks in re. lation to the disorganizes of Perry county. We cannot waste lime in noticing, at any length, the slang oflho miserable creature wtio pretends to write for'that paper. His epithets wo disregard, and hia falls insinuation, is proof -, positive that ho is a acoun. drel. His assertion that this paper is partly under tho control of a ** certain high functionary oflho com* monWesltb,” is so infamously false, that we deem it unnecessary to waste words in contradicting it.— Thai story has been circulated by a certain fellow of sheep-thief countenance in this town—but his char, meter, as m deliberate falsifier is so well known, that we took no notice of tliu slander. This paper is under the dictation of-no one—is controlled by no one but ourself, No one undertho canopy of heaven owns one cent’s worth in tho Volunteer but ourself. Cut, doss not this moan and fatso insinuation come with a very bad grace from (ho Perry Standard—a paper known to bo owned and controlled by a com* , millet,and whose editors are hirelings in the employ ofthat committee 7 We know all about the Standard —wecoald name every stockholder* and mention the amount of stock he owns in tho concern, wore wo so disposed.

It is'said by some (hat every thing was going on smoothly with tho Commissioners/ but by others a different opinion was expressed. In tho city of Mexico tho hope is indulged that (ho Commissioners will agree upon the Nueces as tho boundary line of the' two governments. A (nrinsof wagons entered (ho capital on tho 18th ult., In obtain forage, where they wore' attacked, by a rabble with stones, and were driven pul bfllio city.

Tho Picayune recalls tho dpinion which U expres sed thaMhe Mexican capital was not at the mercy of Gen.

Scott's advance is thud described in the Pica yune: . 11 Gon.-Scott’s vanguard arrived at Ayotladnlho 11th August’. Gen. Scott docs not appear to havoadvanc cd any (briber than Ayolla bn that route —tho main one from Puobla to Mexico, which wna defended by Uio formidable work nt Pen on and Mcxalincingo.— He lurnciHibrupliy to tho south from tho main road and proceeded In an north oaslcrnly direction towards the city of Mexico by the way of San Gregorio and Santa Cruz til) ho struck at San Agustin, the groat southern road which loadsstraight to tho city, lying nlno miles to tho.north. This road was defended by works at San Antonio, obout three.miles north of San Augustin, and again by'slill more formidable works, about three miles fur- Ihcr north, know as Churubusco or San Pablo. In stood of advancing directly north upon Sdh Antonio, Scott turned that position as well us Clmrnbusco, by a road striking off to tho west, which was defended by strong works at Contreras, which is throe mites west of San Antonio, From Contoras tho roud leads to Sun Angle, and thence back into the main road again. This operation was executed by Brig. Gen. Smith in tho most brilliant manner, Contreras being carried early on tho morning of tho 20th. This point gain od, Worth pushed on against Ban Antonio, and the main .body of tho army towards Churubusco by way, of Contreras and San Angle. How San Antonio was carried by \yorth; and now tho whole ariny then fell upon Churubusco and drove tho enemy from Ids works, and complctly routed him, our readers all know.

In moments so critical and solemn, it becomes tho duty of him who*prfisides over tho destiny of the Republic, to give publicity (o tho recent events, and I . comply with ploasurq, as candor has at all times been Hlrd^charactdr'ol Tim incidents jpf the lOlh and 20lh nroVioo'nolorioUa, having been disastrous; but I rnri bound to present a review of them, lest should bo niiarcprnaonlcd as‘much hy.Hlic spirit of'detraction and malevolence, as by errors; which,vnay rcsult from a false analysis of such grave hnd'lf’irnsccndont affairs. f J The nation has'Witncssed tiio groat arid extraordi nary efforts with which, in tho space of three months, I prepared for tho defence of the capital, was which on point of being surrendered to the enemy without resistance. I have formed, armed and cquipod.un army of moro than twenty thousand men; I have provided a vaslrnolefial for lli’is army; I have fortifi ed various lines in order to remove from Mexico the ravages of the war j 1 have created resources in spile of tho isolated position'to. which the Government was reduced ;artdi have jnd'np labor in order to’mako’ niycoCntTy ‘appoarwilh dignity and firmness in DiOi'conieslio’.which it was so unjustly provoked. ,’ ; . :v? - v '’ '■ '' ; In war, an accident, a thing that lrlfling, overthrows tho best formed combinations. A-g|anco . at the defences which I established ronrfd the,city is sufficient to discover tho plan which,l.had,proposed to myself. The forces which I had advanced on ono i of tho'fianks* supported by others stationed 1 at con. vchient distances, had a point to full back UjVOn, Well known to them, nnd of- whioli I gave notice at (ho proper moment. • To one General, who had command of a strong division of 5000 men, with 24 pieces of artillery, and'whoso head-quarters word at the.village of San Angel,! sent orders at.ll o'clock ,bp the morning of the lBlh to.full back .upon Die town; of Coyoncan, in order to form a concentration of Ibrccsi following tho movements of the Were already evident, and. particularly lb Unfold my , plan of operations. ■ But this General, forgetting that no two men can command in a.fic.ld of battle, and that for' the ’execution of a plan’ no observation which may annul or -retard it dap'bo admitted* look'upon himself to object to tho orddrs' which hqhndTcdeived \ and as wo had. banished from among us obedience and discipline, so indispensable in militury matters, 1 had to bo tolerant in order to avoid greater evils, and let hlni, lo my * great iogrot,' act, throwing’upon him Did responsibility of whatever might happen* , The result was Qs'.futal as 1 had .forsocn. He advanced, ofhißown accord,more (hah a league,and selected a position.fo meet Ilia enemy without giving me notice, of his movement or of his intentions*— Tho refusal which ho gave to my advico was the first, nows I had of his temerity,and soon after the roar of canpon showed .mo his. position) nnd gave mo notice that an acllonhad Commenced. Although overwhelmed with a presentiment of what was to happen, ! put myself Immediately at (ho head of a brilliant division of 4000 men .arid fivo pieces of artillery. I arrived at the.moment when,tile enemy had cut off by the roar the position ofthb ilhfulcd general with a respectable force, and I Was'hardly able to check his operations, os tho night was alrea dy setting in. - Out 1 perceived with sorrow that the position was isolated;.a deep ravine, and a wood occupied by Hid enemy, being Interposed between us, It was impossi ble fnr tho troops under my Immediate command to advance by : |hc only road there was, without exposing themselves ns were already, tho others, and Only one battery, which arrived Into, could do any injury.— Tho firing having ceased, ollr brigade look Up-lls quarters In the neighboring village of. San Angel, because, as it rained in torrents, it would have been, equal lu a defeat to'liavo kept the.troops in tho open field* : . Previous to Ihlsf hoWeVer* 1 had ordered my. aid* I dc-camp, Co). Romiro* 'lo pass, tlio. terrible. ravine [which Was,in our iroiit ( and guided by Don Jose I Morin del ftio( well acquainted,with: the country, to | resell tho camp of tho General* and to.odvisd him to I withdraw that very night lo San AngclnW.ith his in* | fflnlry and cavalry, by the only road which was loft to him| spiking, previously« the artillery , Which it was not possible to save* My aid-do-camp succeeded, and communicated, my orders between 10.. and 11 [o'clock that nighti but instead .of-being obeyed with punctualityi tho above named General hardly allowed my aid to epoaki interrupted him by;slating that he wanted 6000 men and ammilnitioniand,sent him off with two despatches! already signed and .sealed, in one of which ho gives a report of tho action of, the evening, stating that ho had beaten and pui the enemy to a shameful flight, and that In consequence ha conferred promotions on the generals, chiefs and officers; fiarly the ncit mernlng 1 presented myself again In the sairie. camp, reinforced by a brigade Which I ‘had drawn from, tho capital, and with tho intention of forcing the. pata at any. cost;, but when. I was about to commence* the enemy made his attack, which lasted ten amf I .witnessed, over whelmed with hf (hullo soldiers, worthy of a bettor fate, because .the dcncral who unfortunately commanded lliom had cut himself off. The consequences of this gdcccSs appeared terrible to any sight; ■ r fhc enemy could arrive, by a rapid j move, at the Capital before It would he in my power to render assistance; thd cilcmy could, by aftink movement! cut off my dehiiehvd forces; tho enemy had obtained, as a {>llll of his victory, the power of bringing (ho whole of fits forces against a part only of mine; and, Anally, the enemy, owing to the insubordination and wiint of skill of one General, could turn to his profit tho advantages of.irty position. Tho .advanced fort of San. Antonio could not he maintained, because our lino, hud been cut, and 1 gaVo* oMors for Its garrison lo withdraw, whilst I protected the fort and lilt de pdnl of Cliurubusco.— The'enemy advanced and cut off pari tho troops that were retreating, and appeared in front of ou r nearest defences. There again 1 placed myself, at thohead of our troops,and my efforts cost the enemy a good deal of blood* The losses, although much lo bo lamented, naturally proceeded from (lib retreat, which was hasty* unexpected and confused, owing to the trains that hud to pass through a marrow lime, flanked in its whole extent. Tlio defence was made from lino to lino until wp catno to the third, where 1 personally restrained tho'cnciriy nnd’savcd the capital, which had been so unexpectedly placed in danger. - When I was occupied on iho 22d in recognizing thoTorccs and manning iW batteries, having placed myself again at tho baud,of a column which should offer resistance to the lasi extremity, I received a’ communication from tlio Gencrul iu-ehief of the , enemy, proposing an armistice that might give lime to listen (o propositions which may bo made by the , commissioner ofthe government oftho United States, to put an end to the contest between the (wo nations, , I accepted the ormistice, arid after having had a I meeting of tho ministers, I resolved to listen lo tho above proposition. Tho suspension of hostilities is always a blcsslng, because war is always an evil, particularly after the failure of grand combinations. To free the capital of its horrors, or at least to retard them, was nnomcr* goncy which I could not resist, arid tlje more ed when it presented tho means of arriving at an hono rable peace. ‘ 1 When two nations are in a slate of war, they crijoy 1 (ho right of reciprocally making propositions, which | , presuppose the obligation lo listen. A perpetual war I i is nn absurdity, because it is a calamity, and the I instinct of self-preservation, which It'stronger in nations than In private Individuals, counsels us not , to roflisd any means which may load to an ndvanla* gcous settlement. ToadopUhisstcpthboonstitutlon confers ample powers on mo. ‘ Devoted to interests so noble and exalted, I mnsl at nil hazards maintain the prestige apd rospoot of the supremo authority } particularly at present, wlion, if the factions should molest tho Government, they would deprive H oftho liberty of deliberating, and it would' fall into utter insignificance ip (ho presence of our enemies. I will still bo more explicit—. Attempts at subversive sedition will bo punished in an exemplary manner.■ ■ I 1 have still a respectable body of troops, and tho nation Will assist mo to maintain its dignity and vindicate its glory. I consider ray self as free as if 1 bad just obtained a distinguished victory, and there Is no danger that the negotiations oftho enemy will impose upon mo, when their troops and oannon did' not inspire me with fear. We will settle our: diffi culties amicably, if obovo all things our honor Is saved, and we will again appeal to (lie sword, If force should be Intcrposco tb withhold from us justice and the 1 acknowledgment of the rights of tho nation. - • .
