ODD FELLOWS’ PROCESSION.
The process ion of Odd Fellows, which took
place in Carlisle on Friday last, was truly a splendid
affair. Delegations from Lodges at Shippensburg, -
Mechanicsburg, Chambersburg, Harrisburg, and
Laodisburg, were in attendance. The procession
was formed at 11 o'clock, under tire direction of CapU
Geo. Sanderson,ChiefMarahal,and presented a most
imposing appearance. The. display of regalia, ban
ners, and other itisigna of (he Order was gorgeous
in the extreme. Two splendid bands of music (one
from. Ncwvillc, the oilier from Gettysburg,) discours
ed most cloqacnt music during the procession. After
marching through the different streets, the process
ion balled at the First Presbyterian Church, to hear
the address of E. A. Lesley, Esq. of Dauphin Lodge
No. 160, The address is spoken of >h the highest
terms fay all who heard it. Mr. L. is a young man
of. pleasing manners, and an eloquent, forcible, and
able speaker. After the conclusion of exercises in

I BERKS AND LANCASTER,
\ These two large counties were, at the last election;
fairly pitted against each other. In Lancaster, the
federal whigs, proud of their strength, strained every
nerve to give an unusually largo majority, and so
confident, worclhcy of the success of their efforts,
that they boasted loudly of outdoing their republican
■ neighbor, and giving Gen. Irvin such a voto as would
astonish the whole state. Our democratic friends in
Berks wore not, however, disposed to “give it up
•o,V or submit to the “tall'braging'* of their ancient
opponents. Amwjd in (ho panoply of a Just cause,
'they warmed to llib contest, and tho result shows a
majority for our candidates far, far exceeding the
worst that the federal whigs of Lancaster could do
against them. All hail, noblo Old Berks, (ho homo
oftruo hearts and strong hands! The cause of de
mocracy can never fall when your hardy yeomanry
step forward to the rescue, and declare in thunder
tones their attachment to sound principles and regular
nominations.
NATIONAL CONVENTION*
Tho Boston Post proposes tho FOURTH OF JULY
next as tho. time, and BALTIMORE as the place,
for (be meeting of the Democratic National Conven
tion to nominato candidates for President and Vice
President. , We suppose our State Convention to as.
sdmblo on tho 4th of next March will lube some ac
tion uponlho subject, bntin advance of the meeting
we will second the motion of tho Post. Baltimore Is
the best place, in our opinion, and is preferable to
any other on account of its having hcrctoloro been
iiio place,where our conventions have been held.—
And Xfo think there is a manifest propriety infold
ing It upon (ho day named— the rcer memorable and
glorious Fourth of July, Besides the enthusiasm and
kind feeling and harmony which that glorious event
is calculated to Inspire, wo consider a short and vig
orous campaign more likely to. ensure success than
a long and spiritless one. The month of May. is
moat too early. -
Ofenino or Girard Colleoe. —At last a time has
been fixed for (ho opening of the Girard College.—
TJjo architect, Mr. Waller, »p onsvm to a Idler from

next* and the Building Committee have authorized
the Board of Control to lake possession of one ofllio
rooms on (bo ]2tli inst., for (he purpose of fur

Ether in SuaoEiuf.—The North American contains
an interesting report er a surgical case in which
ether was administered) The patient operated upon
was a laboring man, whoso righllcghad been shock*
jngly mutilated by a colision between twa railroad
cars. The unfortunate man was placed under the
influence of ether, and bis leg amputated below Ibo
fetter. During the whole operation, ho exhibited not
the slightest symptom of pain or uneasiness. While
atm under the effects of ether, and after his limb hi 4
been removed, bo was asked whether bo wos read/
to havo his leg taken off, to which ho replied**yes
. —you may do anything you like with me now."

u All! depend upon it you cannot skulk this war
—this unrighteous war is the legitimate fruhofyoor

The editor of the Eaton Regitl, a Hath.mouthed fed
eral paper , he* perpetrated the following:
“The war exists by oar own wrongs. A sense of
justice leads us lo deprecate the whme train ot cir
cumstances, which has brought this calamity upon
us. We are in a war in which the sympathies of the
civilized world must be against os. Whoever prays
that God will defend the right must pray for the suc
cess of our enemies.*'
The following it an extract from the speech of Colum
bus Delano, delivered in the Houee of Represents,
lives on the 2d of lasi February:
“ I consider this war a great calamity, ills wicked
and inhuman. Its object is national robbery; conso
lidated,.lf carried oh, by a sacrifice of human life that
falls but little short of murder.”
Geo. G. Fogg, Secretary of the Stale of New Jtamp.
shire, and a whig Editor, uses the foUomngheautu
ful language:
“He (Gen. Taylor,) raises for’lhe market and makes'
merchandize of his fellow ment He has a hundred
mothers, with or without babies for sale in the sham
bles. He Jurnishes creole virgins for the “ hells ” of
New Orleans, and hs riots in the ruin of souls fur
which the Man of sorrow died.”
. Such arc the principles of the Federal Whig par.
Iy of the present day, and which may be .found In
fofofi(li«iß of (boss palrlatt,
during thaleal war-with England.
Oor Country’s Wars.—Tho wars of our country
cannot full to bo popular : there is about the people
of this country, native and naturalized, a real attach
ment to.it, ah impulsive patriotism, which makes
them ready to avenge its wrongs and to assort its
rights, even at the loss of blood and treasure. Blood
is freely bestowed, money even' yet more liberal, for
such a purpose, and opposition to our country when
thus engaged, brings with it an universal odium,
which must sink those embarked in it.* iifaj. Noah,
ono of tho oldest and best American editors, thus
speaks on the subject:
“ What prevented Do Witt Clinton, with all his
admitted abilities, his gigantic mind, and (rropaya
bio services to the state, reaching the Presidency 7
Ho opposed tho war of 1813; and united with bis po
litical opponents. Who alter him can escape a sim
ilar fate under similar circumstances 7, Wo aro ear
nest on this-subject, though having no interest In
the result. We wish to see sensiblomcn act like
sensible poUtiOluns. Why war against fate? Why
seek to cut down and prostrate rising generations
springing into power like a young Hercules? Why
insist upon feeble hands still retaining (ho staff of
power 7 Wo may struggle and struggle to retain
power with occasional success, but thoro is a potent
enemy which finally . must overpower us—Death.—
The sovereignty is in tho people—rulers nnd leaders
cannot always make them “ hewers -of wood and
drawers of water; 11 nnd in this progressive age, (ho
young, tho ardent, tho active and the laborious, will
control the destinies of parlies and the destinies of
tho country by their numerical strength. We must'

strive to prepare (hat*class of our follow citizens lor

MR* KENDALL’S LETTERS.
Another victory, glorious in its result, and which
has thrown additional lustre upon thp. American
arms, has boon achieved to-day by the i army unddr
Scott (bo proud capital of Mexico lias fallen before.
tiro power of* mere handful of tnen compared with
the immense odds arrayedbgainst them, and
Anna, instead of shedding his blood ds he had pro
mised, is wandering with the remnant of his army
no one knows whither. . •
Tho apparently impregnable works on Chapnltcpcc,
after a desperate struggle, were triumphantly carried
Gens. B/avo amTMouicrdc, besides a host.of offi
cers .of different grades, taken prisoners; over 1000
non-commissioned 'officers privates,, all their
cannon' and ammunition, are in their hands;-tho
fugitives were soon in full flight towards the different
works which commanded the entrance to the city,
and our men at once word in hot pursuit.
Gen, Quitman,supported by Gen. Smith’s brigade,
took the road by tiro Chapullcpec aqueduct towards
the Belen gate and the Clpdodela-; Gen. Worth, sup
ported by Geo. Cadawohder’s brigade, advanced by
the San Cosmo aqueduct towards the garita of that
name. Both routes were up by ditches and de
fended by breastworks, barricades* and slrong.works
of every.description known to military science} yet
tiro daring and impetuosity of our men overcame one
defence alter another} and by nightfall every work
to the city’s edge was; carried. Gen. Quitman’s
command,after the route at Chapnltcpcc, wan- the
first to encounter the enemy in force. Midway be
tween the former and (ho Bden gate, Santa Anna
had constructed a strong work; but this was at once
vigorously assaulted by Gen. Quitman’s guns, which
Gen. Worth had ordered to approach as near os
possible from the San Cosmo road, the enemy was
again routed, and in full flight. They again made
a stand from their strong fortifications at and near
the Belen garita, opening a tremendous fire not only
of round shot, grape and shell, but of musketry; yet
boldly Gen. Quitman advanced, stormed and carried
the works, although at great loss, and tlicrt every
point on Ibis side the city was in our possession. In
this onslaught two of our bravest officers were killed
—CapU Drum andLiet. Benjamin. .
Meanwhile, Gen. Worth was rapidly advancing
upon San Cosmo. At the English burying ground
the enemy had constructed a strong work. It was
defended by infantry for a short time, but could not
resist tiro assault of tho men—tiro affrighted .Mexi
cans soon fled to another Uhc of works nearer ,lhc
city, and thus Gen. Worth was in possession of tho
entrance to San Cosme.. As his men advanced to
wards the garita, tho enemy opened a heavy fire of
musketry from the house lops, os well as,of grope,
caooislcr and shell from their batteries, thus sweep*
ing the street completely. At this juncture, tiro old
Monterey game of burrowing and digging through
(be bouses was adopted. On the right, us our men
faced the enemy, tho aqueduct'afforded a partial
shelter; on (he left, the houses gave some protection,
but many were still killed or wounded by the grape
which swept every part, air well as by (ho shells
which were continually bursting in every direction.
About 3 o’clock, the work of the pickaxe and crow
bar, under the direction Liet. VV. Smith, of the Sap
pers and Miners, hud fairly, commenced, and every
minute' brought oiir.mcn nearer the enemy’s last
strong-hold. In the meantime, two mountain howit
zers were fairly lifted to the top of one of tiro houses
and into the .cupola of tho church, from which (hey
opened a plunging ana most effective fire, while one
of Duncan’s guns, in charge of Lieut. Hunt, was run
up under a galling fire to a deserted breastwork, am)
. at once opened upon tho garita. In this latter daring
(bat, four men out of eight were either killed or
. wounded, but still tho place, was most effectively
served. The work of the miners wag still going.on.
, In one house which they had entered by the pickaxe
a favorite aid of Santa Anna’s was found. Tho
great man had just fled, but had fell his friend and
his sopperi Both were.well eared foi—the latter
was devoured by our hungry officers; tho former,
oiler doing honors of (ho table, was made a close
prisoner. Just as dark was setting,in, our men had
dug and mined their way almost up to thievery guns
of tho enemy, and now, after a short struggle,
were completely routed and driven, with, the loss of
every thing. Tlia command of tho city by the San
. Cosmo route was attained..
During Uio night, God. Quitman commenced the
work of throwing up breastworks and erecting bat
teries, with the intention of opening d heavy canon,
ado upon the Cuidadcla with the first light of the
morning* At 10 o’clock at flight Gen. Worfh order
cd Ckpl. Ilugor to .bring up'a 14-pounder and dlO
inch mortar to tho~garita or gate of San Cosmo, and
having ascertained tho beat logs and distance of tho
grand, pluxa and palace, at once opened upon these
points. Tho heavy shells were heard to explode in
tho very hoartof the city. At a little alter midnight
Major Palacios, accompanied by two or three mem
bers of tho municipal council of the city, arrived at
Gen. Worth’s headquarters, and in great trepidation
informed him that Santa Anna and his grand army
had fled, and that they wished at once to surrender.
Ihp capital! They were referred lo the commander'
(n.chict, and immediately started for .Tacuhaya; but
In tho meantime (ho firing upon the town ceased.
At 7 o’clock this morning General Scott, with his
staff, rodo in and took quarters at the National palace,
on (ho (op of which tho regimental flag of the gallant
rifles and tho stars and stripes were already flying.
Tho immense crowd of blanketed (eperos, tho scum
of the capital, wore congregated hi the plaza as the
coinmnnderln*chicfentered iu They pressed upon
our soldiers and eyed (hem as though they'werb he*
ings of another woild. So much were they in tho
way* and with such eagerness did they press around,
that Gen. Scott was compelled lb order ohr dragoons
to clear the plafca. They were told, however, not lo
injure of harm a man in (bo mob—they were all our
Irlbnds!
- About five minutes oiler this, ami whilo'Gcncral
Worth was returning to his division near Almeda,
he was fired upon from a house near llio convent of
San Francisco. Some of the cowardly I'olkas, who
had fled tlio day previous without discharging their
guns, now commenced the assassin game of shooting
at every one of our men thoy saw, from as
well as from behind the parapets on the nzolcns or
lops of the houses. In half an hour’s lime, our good
friends, llio loporos, in thd neighborhood of tho lies*
pUal of San Andres and tho Church of Santa Clara,
also commenced discharging muskets and throwing
hollies and rocks from tho uzoleuft. I have neglected
to mention that just previous to this Col, Garland had
been severely wounded by a musket, fired by some
miscreant from the windows.
. For several hours (his cowardly war upon our men
continued, and during this time many were killed or
wounded. It was in this species of fighting that
Lieut. Sidney Smith received his death wound. The
division of Gen, Twiggs, in ono purl of tho city, and
Gen. Worth in another, were soon actively engaged
in putting down tho insurrection. Orders were giv.
cn to shoot.every man in all tho houses from which
(ho firing came, white the guns of the different light
batteries swept (he streets in all directions. As the
assassins were drlvon from one house they,would
lake refuge in another; but by (ho middle of tho
afternoon they wore.all forced back to tho barriers
end suburbs; Many innocent persons have doubtless,
been killed during to-day, but this could not bo avoi
ded. Had orders been given at the outset to blow up
and demolish every house or church froin which ono
man was fired upon,llio disturbance woufd'finvo been
at otico quelled, As it is, I trust that tho lesson the
rabble and their mischievous leaders have received
to day may deter them from future outrages.
On entering (ho palace Gen. Scott ol onco named
Gen. Quitman governor of Mexico—a most excellent
appointment. Some wag immediately proclaimed
aloud in (ho pulza<os foihwar John A..Qnit*

Not a little joy has been manifested by all at tiro

without followers, and has gone North, perhaps to

has over produced.

but as a dancer and actor of some distinctions. Copt»
Pemberton \Vaddell, of one of the new regiments of

The loss in tho different divisions in the storming

as follows: In that of, Gen. Quitman about 300, in,
that of den. Twiggs,2BB, In that of Gcn.Pillow 142,
in that of Gen. Worth 138. Owing td his previous
heavy loss the latter only had about 1000 men cn.

of great interest to their friends, before closing this

Wo hear hut little, one way or Uiq other, as to
what (he Mexicans intend lo do irt future—whether
they arc for peace,.or a continuance of the war. In
fact, it is hardly time for them, after their recent
disastrous discomfitures, to think of anything, eve
rything will now depend upon our own government.
If the nonsensical soothing system is continued— if
another doso of magnanimity is.lo follow tljo hard
blows which have .lost tis so many'Uvea—the war
will he spun out till doomsday. On tho if
a rigorous system Is at onto adopted, if men ond

Tho ‘‘American Stir,” published by. r copies and

Among other rumors, wo hear to-day that there
has been n coalition of some of tbc Slates north o)
this, that Senor Coslo has been appointed President,
that 19,000 men ore immediately to bo raised and
organized to carry on tho war with vigor, and to
make them effective 81,000,000 is to bo levied.—
Bustamanto and Paredes ore to command’tho army,
os the story goes, while Santa Anna -has''leave to

sees fit. Another report current would make us be*
lievo that tho Mexican Congress is shortly to osi>cm*
bio nt Qucrclaro, and that tho peace question Is to bo
talked over with Mr. Trial in real earnest. These
are alt but incro minors.
Although all appears quiet on the face of the city,
assassinations arc still frequent. Our men arc led
off (o drinking houses in tho by-streets and in the
suburbs, are plied with liquor until they become In.
toxicalod, and are then stabbed. Nor will this cow
ardly system bo put .down until cadi house where a
murder is committed is razed, and exemplary justice
dealt out to ail its inmates. It has cofno (o (ho

have been recently distributed to tho horde of thieves
and murderers liberated by Santa Anna on (ho night
ho fled from tho capital, and with ho other intention
than (hat (hoy might do (ho work in (ho dark ho had,
not tho courage to perform In open day. By an order

Tho Punishment of Deserters* - • •
By a general order, : dated the 6lh September, It
appears that a court martial, of which Col. Riloy, of
(ho ,2d Infantry, was President, tried twentymino
men for dtttrlion to the enemy. Their fate may bo
road in' the following sentence of Gen. Scott/
Sentences*
The court found the above named prisoners, [the
names are given again below} severally guilty os
charged, and sentence each (two*lhirds of the mom*
hers of (lip court in every case concurring in the sen*
tcnco) “ to bo hanged by the neck until no is dead."

proceedings and sentences, with the following.oxoeiv
tionsil|o cases of Thomas Riloy, company, I, 3d

and John Reilly, company K, Sth Infantry. 1
These throo prisoners severally committed thoj
crimo of desertion ns charged, in the early part of
■ April, 1846. . At that data the United Stoles wore at
peace with Mexico and all (ho world; for (ho present)
war did not break out, in fact, till a Inter date, and
was not recognized .to exist, by the Congress of the'
United Stales (ill iho 13(h of tho following month. I
No higher punishment can, therefore, bo legally I

Mills and J.'Reilly, than that prescibcd for a state
