Camp west of north s l.so mqes from ? VEIIA City; 19th, 1517. S DEAR •••••••••-: Befiire leaving here for Jalapa, which will be to-morrow, I will give you a brief ' account of the operations of the army at this point. About fifteen !days since, Gin. Twiggs! division marched Irons Ve i ra Cruz to this point, (his advance having la little skirmiShing three mile's beyond this,) on the Oth inist , Gen. Patter son's division, and' on the 14th, Gun. Worth's marched five miles beyond this, where a pass was found to be defended by three or four forts and batteries, 'which hail 'eon' lete 'comthand of the only road leading to Jalapa, and on to the city . of Mexico. On the day before yesterday, Twiggy attempted taking the priruipal one, but was forci-d to fall back, having sustained considerable loss . All the torts were so arranged us to play upon a gisen point, at the' smile time. Yesterday morn inz, (sunday,) aboet 5 o'clist.k, the assault was re slimed, by ' ls,‘ iggs and l*terson . s divisions. A very destructive fire wits kept up on both sides, for betsseen four and time Visors—on our part, With Sofia arms almost critireiy—on the pert of the enemy, la ith mustsettY, grbpss and cannister. At this time, the 2dclines:4 l ;e, supported' by the 2d Pennsylvania„and our .regiiment, supported by the Ist Tennessee, were orderefl to advance, preparato ry to a'charge, which they did, under a most ter rific fire of 'grape, cannistei and musketry. Oui regiment gaoled their position, Within less than one hundred yardsof the hhttery, where they watt to wait the General's atgrial to charge. The or tiers wete, not to 'fite till cleiste to the battery, which , order was obeyed to the letter. Before we got our I position, Gen. Billow was tseverely wounded, and consequentlywe r thil nut get the signal to charge This we can consider little eke than a direct terposition of Providehrej for if the charge tthd been made. I' do not beliePe that ten men of the cammand would have •livetl to tell its story. En gineers, mid other scieraifictrrien, have been through the works to day, and base exprePsed the opinion that 10,000 intaritry couldi nut have taken them Gen. La Vega, (who is 4 prsolier.) states that this was by far the strongist battery; and the oti• ly one they were sure was impregnable Yon will no doubt see a description of it in the reports. The force with which we werelto carry it, was about 1301) men, including, the stipporting regiment. and ! the advanced. We lay iniour position, watching 'the thousands who lured! the breastfw mks, and waiting impatiently. for three hours, the signal to charge But owing to thcsGeneral's being wound ed, and removed from the gronnd, the signal did nt come, and the regiment Ire saved from absolute slaughter. During the 1 hole day's work, and through the awful fire of the enemy, both officers and •men behaved with firnlsness and courage, never once flinching or moving from their places,.until the enemy surrendered. ieut.

The substitution of a new explosive material, the gum-cotton, is place of gunpowder, is another remarkable event. The extent of its utility is not yet ascertained. ►Whether it will be largely adop ted in warfare is still a point on a hich no decided opinion has been forme.;. But of its great utility, in all the blasting and ,mining operations, not the slightest doubt can exist. It is both cheaper and more powerful than gunpowder; and the absence of saiuke gives it a decisive advantage. There can remain no question, that in all works of this description, the pew agent will rapidly supersede the old one. 3. The third discovery of is perhaps even at greater importance than either of the former. We allude to the lately patented process for smelt ing copper by means of electricity. lhe effect of this change Mill be quite prodigious. It produces in loss than two days. what the old process requi red three weeks to effect. And the saving of fuel is so vast, that re-Swansea alone the smelters esti mate their animal saving in coals, at no less than tire hundred ihousand.pounds. Hence, it is clear, that the price of copper most he so enormously reduced as to bring it into use fur a variety of purposes from which its cost at present excludes it. The facility and cheapness of the process, too, will enable the ore to be largely smelted on the spot: The Cornish mine proprietors are anxious by, expecting the rhom'ent when they can bring the ore which. Fay in the 'mine yesterday into a state to be sent to market to morrow; and this at the very month of the mine. lh Australia the opera tion of this discovery will lie' of the utmost impor• Mime.

Fidelity of the DoA..—A pleasant instance of canine sagacity, which transpired a day or two since, a short distance out of town, was related to us yesterday. A little boy of two summers had strayed from home in the dusk of evening.

The child's dress showed marks of the teeth of the dog, who had no doubt endeavored forcibly to induce him to turn his steps homeward.' When the good dog saw assistance approaching, he barked for joy, and appeared highiy gratified that the little embodiment of innocence and sunshine was so soon to be MVO red to the pa - tents who had almost given him up as lost.
