TEJOICE,
Mom* of Bradford, Rejoice ! !
Freemen, send up the glad shout !
Make the welkin . ring with joyful
songs of exultation ! We have met
the enemy, and again they are ours.
Our whole ticket is elected. We
have achieied one of the most glo
rious and triumphant victories over
all opposition, that was ever won
by the Democracy of Bradford.—
Whigs, apostates, renegades and fe
deralists—are all routed, horse, foot,
and dragoons. Our victory is com
plete. .But we are too full of joy,
over the result, to expatiate upon
subjectithis week. We give in an
other column, the returns as far as
we have been able to collect them.
They are not official, but will be
found very nearly correct : quite
enough so for all practical purposes.
They ensure the election of every
candidate on our ticket. The day
was exceedingly inclement, from
morning till night. Had it been
more favorable, we would have in.
creased our majorities fifty per cent.
We had marked the majority for
Mr. Wilmot, in this county, at 600,
and if the weather had been fair,
we would have carried it far above
those figures.
The majority may not however
exceed 400.
FORMAL ANNEXATION OF NEW MEXICO.-
Gen. Kearney, immediately on entering Santa
Fe, published a proclamation, taking formal
possession of the whole of New Mexico. on
bath sides of the Del Norte. as a part of the
United States, under the name of the territory
of New Mexico. He announces that his inten
tion is to respect the religious institutions of
the country, to protect the property at the
Church, and to cause the worship of those be
longing to it to be respected. Ile requires
those who have left their homes and taken up
arms against the troops of the United States.
to return forthwith to them, or else they will
he considered as enemies and traitors, subject
ing their persons to punishment, and their
property to seizure and confiscation, for the
benefit of the public treasury. It is the wish
and intention of the United States to provide
for New Mexico a free government with the
least possible delay, similar to those in the
United States, and the people of New Mexi
co will then be called on to exercise the rights
of freemen in electing their own Representa
tive/ to the Territorial Legislature. but until
this can be done, thelaws hitherto in existence
will be continued until changed or modified
by competent authority, and 'those persons
holding office will continue in the same for the
present, provided they consider themselves
good citizens. and willing to take the oath of
allegiance to the United States.
This is sufficiently explicit of the intentions
of our government, and shows the progress of
the work of annexation. New Mexico is now
a territory of the United States. The next
rep. after it is sufficiently civilized and refined
by a plentiful infusion of the Anglo-Saxon race.
will be to-admit it into the Union with Califor
nia. u a sister republic. Long live the Un
ion !

'• San Juan de Ullou.
On the termination of the war with Old
Spain, after the miserable remains of their gar
rison had been seat off to Havana. I went with
two companions over the - Castle of San Juan
de Ulloa. It is a tremendous place. if at all
well manned. No wonder it had held out e•h
long. Had it not been for the raging of the
vellbw fever within its walls, and the want of
provisions, the Mexicans would never have
taken it without a naval force very superior to
the one they then possessed. though 1114 have
never since had any force comparable to that
one.
The outer walls of this fortress are of im
mense_thickness--upwards of twelve feet; and I
in the positions most exposed the wall are sev
enteen or eighteen feet in depth, of solid white
stone. It ia. a very porous and rather soft
stone, so that balls do not split or crack it so
much as quietly embed themselves. These
outer walls have batteries all around ; the guns
were well planted, with here and there a peel
corner for a mortar. The inner walls are so
constructed that if the outer walls are gained,
it would still be at a slaughterous expense to
the besiegers, if the garrison were at all com
petent to avail themselves of their position.
We entered the fortress from below, at the
principal gate. which was of great strength.
and very skilfully contrived, and then went
along a stone passage, which had several gate
ways and " cunningly devised" narrow passes,
with high stone avails on each side. 'Phis was
terminated by a canal or moat, with a draw
bridge over it. We next 'arrived.at flights of
stairs, and passing up several vault-like ascent.
we gained the top of the grand batteries. Their
general characteristic is that of greSt strength,
and plenty of room to work in. They moun
ted 120 long twenty-four pounders,all of brass;
they were for the most part in excellent condi
tion. The mortars were of large czlibre,though
not in such good order as the guns. The pow
der magazines were each literally a dry stone
well, plugged at the top with blankets, and
having a round metal . lid over the mouth that
opened on the batteries.
We next descended to the inner works„and
gained ilia secondary walls by a circuitous
route. Besides the necessity to the beseigers
of having guides who well knew every turn of
the works, the excitement and smoke are al
most certain to produce a confusion, in which
the voice or presence of the guides would be
lost,and the party dashing onward might only
arrive at a dead wall, a gap looking out upon
the sea, or the mouth of a twenty-four poun.
der. The circuitous route of our descent from
the upper to the lower range of walls, was en
tirely exposed to their batteries, the guns grinn
ing at us all the way, like so many black turke.
as we traversed stone courseways and narrow
passes. Whole regiments might here be rak
ed down, after they had conquered the outer
walls. But the " chances of war" are numer
ous ; and one imperfection in the greatest pow
er (if otherwise perfect) may render it inap
plicable, and perhaps ridiculcus. On arriving
at these inner batteries, we found the guns in
a wretched condition. They were no better
than a Chinese effect, "calculated" to strike
terror ihto.tlte [Lind. But one may imagine
how very angry the subtile architect of this
forniidable castle would have been, could he
have seen his excellent arrangements for the
safe and nearly certain destruction of the as
sailants, thus rendered abortive.
•We now descended a very wide and steep
flight of stone stairs. which led us down into
the grand castle square, or little town, as one
might almost call it. We entered at the bot
tom through stone gate-ways, (the architect
hail never missed an opportunity for giving the
besieged protection in retreating, and time to
rally.) and then found ourselves in a large open
square, enclosed on all sides by very lofty
walls, the lower part of which displayed doors
;and entrances into barracks, guard-houses. and
shops of various kinds for the sale of such arti
cles as a garrison would need. The Govern
or's house is at the further end. It was a genu
ine soldier's lodgment, and very bare of all ors
Tamen:, except those of war, for it was riddled
all over with the marks of shot and shell.—
Its strong covered balc o ny, intended to serve
both as a protection from the broiling sun, and
from the fall of missiles, was in many places
torn in long gaps. All the towers and build
ings of any elevation had also been knocked
about and defaced by the shot and shells from
Vera Cruz, previous to the surrender of the
castle. But the mutilations and destruction
did not materially affect the strength of the
place. Very few of the guns had been dislodg
ed ;.even the outer batteries were not injured
so as to render them ineffective, with the ex
ception of a gap of ruins in one or two places.
There is about a mite's breadth of sea runnint
between San Juan de Ulloa and the town of
Vera Cruz.
How strongly and skillfully this fortress is
protected by art the reader has now some idea.
San Juan de Ulloa is equally- protected by na
ture ; for.. while the defences of art which I
have -briefly described are chiefly devoted • to
the side an'cl angle facing the town, those an
gles which face the main ocean an the oppo-1

site side, or hack of the castle, are protected
by lung successions of rocky reels, utterly de
lving the approach of any vessels of war.—
Many black and rotten wrecks, visible even at
high water, attested some of the na'ural '•• ter
rors of the place." But in these days it is gen
erally understood by all military men that no
place is impregnable, and that thorough sol
diers, well officered and led, ran and will, and
do take any place. At what cost, is not to the
question. The thing can be done.
[From the New Orleans Delta, 30th ult.]
The steamship Galveston, Capt. Wright, ar
rived yesterday from Lavaca and Galveston.—
She has brought us fides of papers from the
several cities of Texas. Our last advices from
San Antonio were to the • 10th. There is in
the Austin Democrat of the 16th a letter from
the editor, dated San Antonio, Sept. 12th,
which is the latest.
Captain Cady (whom Col. Harney had left
in command at the Presidio, Rio Grande. and
whose' men, in crossing the river to retort to
San Antonio, were, as our San Antonin corre
spondent stated, fired on by Mexicans who lay
in ambusli,) has lurnislied to the acting Adju
tant General at San Antonio an official aCeOlllll
of the affair, differing in no essential point
from our correspondent's letter. He also fur
nishes the following list of those wounded and
missing after the attack :
J. Paris. wounded slightly, private Captain
Evans' company.
J. Wyai, wounded slightly, private Captain
Evans' company
R. Reid. missine, private.
E. Prewitt, missing, private Captian Evans'
company.
J. Riddle. missing. butcher.
The Texas Volunteers." continues the
correspondent of the Democrat... belonging to
this division, have been mustered out of ser
' vice about five or six days. One of these com
panies was paid yesterday, the- 11th. From
the time they were mustered out of service.
they have had I to subsist themselves. The
greater portion of them were out of money,and
complain.loudly of the injustice they have suf.
fered in being thrown upon the world without
a single cent to buy a meal. ltdvould appear
incumbent on the commanding officer, either
to furnish them rations or pay them off. If he
knew the money to effect the latter had not ar
rived. why did he disband them 1" •
The writer goes nn to complain of the treat
ment to which the discharged volunteers have
been subject. An application was made, he
says to have the sick admitted into the hospi
tal, but the answer received was; that .• Texas
volunteers did not deserve it.".
He says not a word about the advance of
Gen. IVoors division.
The Victoria Advocate of the 16th has the
following paragraph ;
We learn that an express was despatched to
meet-she Kentucky and Tennessee regiments
of rol6teers on their way to San Antonio, in
structing them not to proceed to that place, but
to djfect their steps to Port Lavaca, where they
will iemain until further orders, which will de
pend' upon the result of the negotiations now
going on with Mexico. The reason of the or
der is, that by quartering near the bay the
transportation of supplies will be saved. The
Kentucky regiment, we learn, would cross the
Colorado at Lagrange on yesterday, and may
be expected here early next week.
THE HELEN hi' LEOD.—Supposed safety of
her passengers and Crew.—T he owners of the
Helen M'Leod in Baltimore received a letter
by Saturday night's mail from New Orleans.
written by a nautical gentleman, who says that
after questioning in full the Italian saved from
the wreck, he thinks it very probable that all
the crew and passengers may have been saved.
Valentine. the man raved. states that they were
all preparing to leave the wreck it the long
boat, had launched her for that purpose, and
three men, including himself, had got in, when
the long boat capsized and filled ; he being
thus overboard. swam to a schooner which
was lying close by and succeeded in reaching
her. He further states that there were several
vessels in sight at the time, both before and
after the squall. and doubtless one or the other
of these vessels took off the crew and passen-
gers from the Helen M'Leod.
TRIAL cr the Picayune of
the 26th tilt, we find a full report of the trial of
Geo. O'Blenis, charged with the murder of
Franklin Coombs at Pointe Coupee, La., on the
31st Of December. 1844. It will be recollected
that on a former trial the jury were unable to
agree: The accused has been bn baillor some
time. and has spent a portion of the spring and
summer in Mexico with the volunteer forces.—
The trial was commenced on the 2311 ult. at.
Pointe Coupe. before Judge Farm. The in
dictment briefly charged that George O'Blenis
slid on the 31st of December. 1844. with a dou
ble-barrelled gun, shoot and4hereby kill Frank
lin Coombs, in the parish of Pointe Coupee,
From a perusal of the evidence, we should con
clude it probable that O'Blenis will be acquitt
ed this time; the jury being still out at the last
advice&

By the arrival of the steamer McKim. from
Brass Santiago. we have received accounts
fiam the Armv of a later date. The Matamoras
Flag of the 12th, contains the following -
_ CAMARGO. September 8. 1846
. I hasten to inform you of the arrival from
Seralvo, of Captin Murray, with information
that , AlleCullough's Rangers had come into Gen.
Worth's camp at Seralvo, and reported that on
4th inst, about 40 miles bringing Seralvo, they
discovered a body of Mexicans forming the ad
trance guard of a • large - force. They retreated
as the Rangers came, upon them, and were pur
sued until they fell back on a large force which
was discovered to be from 800 to 1000 strung.
It -was believed that their intention was to in
duce 'Gen. Worth to . follow them so far as to
attack him befOrd any desistance could reach
him Capt Murry thinks that a battle is. being
fought at Seralvo, this day, the 21st of Sept.
Captain Murry' met Gen. Taylor with a part
of his force, some distance in advance of the
mainbody, and within 35 miles of Seralvo. on a
forced march to its relief. It is positively asserted
that the Mexicans are determined to make a
strong resistance between ,Seralvo and Mon-
terey.
Ampudia and Aristia are co.operiting, with
each other, and their forces are fast augmenting.
The Mexicans are rallying to their standaid from , 1
all quarters. The heat has retartded somewhat
the Progress of the troops which left here with
Gen. Taylor—it being out 'of the question to
march during the heal of the day. The troops
were in high spirits, and eager to come tip with
the Mexicins. Two companies of Wingers,
that were here flaying their horses shod, started
immediately after Capt. Murray's arrival.—
All is quiet here. Proclamations of Santa Ana,
AtnpuJia, and the Governor of Tamaulipas, have
been received in town, and are having their
effect entire Mexicans.
The proclamation of Ampudia makes the
penalty very severe upon all who may furnish
provisions—assist in transporting provisions or
in any !wise aid the Americans. It prohibits
them from holding any intercourse or carrying
on any trade with us. Death and confiscation
of property are the penalties for disobeying the
orders. These proclamations have also been
received in Mier and Rey °ulna. The Flag
speaks in highest terms of eulogy of the order
and quiet that prevails at Matamoras, through
the unwearied vigilance of Capt. Clark, second
ed by the active exertions of others.
Proclamations from Amputha,Arista and others
'are being distributed throughout the Department
of Tamaulipas, Those documents call upon
the Mexicans to rally around the standard of
their country, denouncing as treacherous all who
have dealings with the Americana, and threaten-
ing them with the penalty of death.
We take the following fr m the regular edi
tion of the Flag of the l2th.,iiist. In our last
paper we stated the advance f the army under
Gen. Worth to he at Chin . It was at•Seralvo
a small town about 60 miles from Monterey.—
Further reports have reached here as to the
number of Mexican troops in Monterey. which
'puts them at 8.000, with a heavy additional
force on the march. which it is said will he
there beforiGen.Taylor can 'possibly arrive.
The whole force with which Gen. Taylor
marches to Monterey will not exceed 7000.
The place is represented by the Mexieansoo
he extremely well fortified, they are firmly of
opinion that the Americans will be whipped.—
We have no intelligenee from Gen. Taylor
since he left Carnargti. fie is.no doubt by this
time in Seralvo. and but a few days can elapse
before important news may be looked for.
Much the largest part of his force has been
left behind, which he will not moveTerward
less the exigencies may demand it. The im
'poAstbility of transporting provisions hail no
doubt caused Win to move forward a less force
than he otherwise would.
The M'Kim left Brazos on the lath
Sha brought up 250 sick volunteers and 5 or 8
wounded of the U. S. Regulars at the battles of
the Stli and 9th.
The Tragedy at Richmond—Adultery and larde
For several days our quiet community has
been agitated with reports that implicated the
reputation of one of .the most respectable la
dies in this city of Richmond. Although the
foul charge was upon every tongue, and the
shameful deed the theme of every discourse,
sympathy for the wronged. and delicate re
gard for innocent connexions. muzzeled the
press, as long'as the corisequences were of a
private nature ; but the excited ilengeanee of
an injured husband exhibited itself yesterday
morning in an act that must call for public in
vestigation. which will disclose all the cireutn
stances of this horrible affair. Every restraint
is therefore, removed, and there is no reason
why we should not proceed to gratify public
curiosity by detailing the particulars, as far
as we can gather them from a careful investi-
gation.
During the absence of Mr. Wm. R. Myers.
who was on business at the North, it seems
that his brother, Col. Samuel S. Myers, recei
ved an anoy mous communication, charging his
sister-in-law with adultery. and pointed to Mr.
D. Martin Hoyt as the guilty party ; the wri
ter requested an interview, and offered to pro
duce the clearest proof of the truth of the
charge. This proof was furnished• and was
such. that even Col. Myers. with all his devo
tion to his sister, could 'not resist it. Inter
cepted notes were produced. and the most con
clusive evidence was exhibited of guilty inter
course for months, if not for years.
The father of Mrs. Myers was almost - im
mediately written for, and, satisfied of his
daughter's guilt, removed her from the city.—
Col. Myers also wrote to his brother informing
him minutely of all the circumstances. Thun
derstruck at the infidelity of her whom he had
ever loved, honored and cherished, and• -stung
to madness with the thought of his honor
wounded in the tenderest point. Mr. Myers
harried to Richmond, burning to glut his ven
geance where he had been so foul y wronged.-
To escape notice. however,_ he left the cars at
the Junction. about twenty-one miles from
Richmond, and there taking a horse provided
for him, he entered the city on Sunday. after
the shades of night had fallen ; and as soon as
the morning-light enabled him to make sure of
his victim, accompanied by his brother. Col.
Samuel S. Myers, and Mr. Wm. S. Burr, pro
ceeded to.the office of Hoyt.
Mr. Burr, on behalf of Mr. Myers. first en
tered Hoyt's bedroom and handed him a paper,
which he was required to sign, pledging him
self to leave the city and never more to return,
tinder the penalty of death. Mr. H. refused
to sign it, whereupon Mr. Wm. R. Myeres
fired several barrels.of a revolving pistol at him.
wounding him in the. head and both legs.—
The ball which struck in the forehead fractur
ed the skull. It was extracted try Dr. Car-
michael, but it is feared that a fragment of it
remains in the brain. Mr. Hoyt's condition
yesterday evening was very precarious.—
The chances of hie recovery are as one in it
hundred. -
The examination has been continned until
Wednesday next, and the l accused. with his at
tendants,. Col. S. S. Myers and Mr. Wm.
Burr. have been admitted to bail in the sum of
ten thousand dollars each.
Hoyt denies his guilt, and when he suppos
ed himself in extremia, he declared that the last
words he uttered should be to . proclaim the in
nocence of Mrs. Myers. The public ascribe
these declarations rather ,to the gallantry of the
gentleman than the real innocence of the lady.
This evening there is a report in circulation,
how true we know • not, that Mr.:
_Hoyt has
made a will and left Mrs. Myers a legacy of
$30,000.
It is said that Col. Pollard, the father of the
lady, arrived_ in the city to-day. just in time to
find a father's intended retribution anticipated
by a husband's vengea r e. This is not a com
munity where the ilea st tights and tenderest
ties can be infringed with impunity.—South

builtle Murder 'in Iltlawaro County.
We learn from the .Delawaze Express, ex
tra. of Saturday, that Mrs. Louisa Jones of
Meredith, wife of Philander Jones, was cruel
ly murdered in her own house, on Sunday
night, the 27th ct, September. The -only in
mates of the house at the time were Mr. and
Mrs. Jones:and the mother of Mrs. "ones,. a
very old lady, and quite deaf. -
The facts elicited before the coroner's jury .
established the following facts :—Nlr.and - Mrs.
Jones had lived very 'unhappily together for
many years : she slept up, and he down stairs;
and lately the feud between them had waxed
considerably warm. Mr. Jones' story is, that,
hearing a noise in the night. he got up. and on
going out, found his wife hadfallen down stairs,
she considerably wounded, and life nearly or
quite extinct. He called up his mother, and
his'sons who slept in another house, close by,
and lound his wife dead, then called in the
neighbors to lay her out. Arrangements were
made l'qj the funeral„to take place on Tuesday.
When the neighbors had gathered to consign
the corpse to 'the grave, sookidisSatisfaction
was manifested at the appearance of the wounds
upon the deceased, and a vote taken whether
to bury her or have the coroner called. The
latter was decided upon. and Peter Brock, Esq.
of Hamden, Coroner, was called, who sum
moned a Jury.
The inquest was held on Wednesday and
Thursday. The testimony of several physi
cians, among the number Doctors Fitch and
Jacobs of th is village, was conclusive that the
deceased came to bet - death from wounds in
flicted upon ber head by some person. There
were several wounds on different parts of her
head. and- some five or six, either one of which
H would have produced death. They had the
' appearance of having been made with con
siderable force, and by some metallic instru
ment with an obtuse edge, perhaps a wagon
hammer. The skull was broken in in several
places in the region of the ear, and part of one
of the ears cut off. These and oilier matters
adduced established the fact, beyond a ques
tion, that ueceased had been inhumanly mur
dered; and the jury rendered the following
verdict : "Louisa Jones came to her death by
violence from the hand of a second person to
them unknown." .
Mr. Jones was arrested, and the matter at
once placed before the Grant! Jury. then in
session. who found a true hill of indictment
against him for Murder. He was arraigned on
Friday, before Judge Edmonds. presiding at
the Circuit here, and plead " not guilty. He
will not be tried till the May term.
Mr. Jones is one of the best farmers in Mere
dith, is worth some five or six thousand dol
lar., and has always been considered a good
and respectable citizen, though of quick and
irritable temperament. and. as is the general
expression of those who knew him. is the last
man that would have been suspected of such a
'crime; anti though circumstances are at pre
sent against him he will, we trust, if innoeent,
be enabled to establish fits innocence. He has
employed Hon. S. Gordon to defend him.

A WORD TO MOTHERS!
Health is one of the beet gifts otparents to dun, ut ,.
&co, and without ft, all the advantages of foru m , tu
but en& i n &guise. Nature always admonialun
parent when aid u required. If a young child nit
much, it must be ill, for it is not capable e bein g car.
ted by any ideas, bat thou of bodily pain er
At such times mothers are apt to give their infants
&air, containing intoxicating or stbpifying p rnp
and though this may answer their imutedlansp ninn,
what is the result? The children either die in wrest
alone, or lisp miserable , and unhealthy, pi ne in then
growth, with debilitated stomachs, and palsied reran, -
The food designed by nature for children la in' e l emy
pointed out, that it is marvellous how any perso n en
be mistaken, the breast of the mother, or bread and in i tt
for infants, is so clearly adapted to the delicate**, i t
their stomachrOhat nothing can be substituted e vi l ly
nutritiints and wholesome. It is at the critical mi n i
O r or when the infant is withdrawn Inn
its mother's breast, in'order to substitute a stronger
that those fatal diseases arise which sweep off so t iny
tens of thousands. of infants sunually. Who can
mete the ravages made by w Cholera lorantom 1 " A nt
yet there is a specific for it, which has never been k n .,
to fait, when applied according to the idireetiona—

arms of the delighted mother, rstoring vigor to th e
tem, at the same time that it eradicalei the dien s ,.
As u men are but children of a larger growth; Ilium,

Mortars, Nervorni or Sick Headache, and indeed slides
eases that arise from a disordered state of tha. a mid
and bowels.
RHEUMATISM AND GOUT
Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills area most ere.,
dinary medicine for the cure of Rheumatism and G, al,
because they not only cleanse the stomach and bowel,
of those morbid humors, which if taken into the cire4_
lion and thrown upon the membrane and muscle, es
the cause of the above painful maladies . ; but they evi l ,
the absorbent vessels to take up that which is already
deposited, and therefore are absolutely catkin to make
