Dams : The late brilliant achievement of the arms of the United States over the superior numbers of the enemy, and in front of the capital at the country, cannot but excite the admiration arid pride of our people, from one end'of the land to the other; but those who were not here to wit ness and participate in the desperation of the con. ftict.r4he great and apparently insurmountable obstacles—the privations and hardships endured— !laver can properly appreciate the brilliancy of the ;victory, the gallant and good conduct, and the iscieatific attainments of our noble little army.- IOUr comparative loss, of those engaged, exceeds Oat of. any battle of which we have any recollec- Ition; being about one out of tit. To attempt to enu- Imerate, in a proper Manner, the individual install ! ces,:of heroism—of determined and deliberate Iconiage—of the perseverance and intrepidity with ! which great and powerful obstacles were Bur -1 mounted—would be but commencing an endless I task. I- trust, when the details of thse brilliant affairs are given by the respective commanders, Ahat our country will 'testify its admiration and respect by some substantial reward—a reward that will live in memory and history when the actors in these stirring scenes shall have mouldered in the dust. ` About the 15th inst., it was determined that we should'not attack El Person, where the enemy had made every preparation to receive us, and where, no .doubt, we would have been compelled to sacri fice many more lives than we have already done. Accordingly, the engineers having discovered a road by which we could turn it, we took up our march around lake Chalco. At this movement , the musty were seriously nonplussed, as they were not aware themselves of any practicable route we could take that would so effectually turn their po. sitiori; and in order to delay our movement, sent out Gen. Alvarez, the great champion of the south, with his Pintos. (a tribe of lndians spotted by na ture,) together with a portion of the regular army, .amounting in all to, about 10,000 men, to attack the rear column, under the command of General ,Twiggs; but it turned out to be a feeble attempt. Gen.Twiggs bad scarcely formed his line of battle, and opened his artillery, under the command of Capt. Taylor, before they fled with great precipi, Miley. A few well directed shots from this bat tery Made a forcible impression upon their col. .umns, and they retreated, leaving a portion of their dead and wounded to take care of themselves. The .-whole affair did not detain Gen. Twiggs morel thee an hour, and he was again on his march. By this time the enemy had discovered the route by which we were moving, and endeavored to obstruct ' the road; but the sappers and miners, aided by the head of Gen. Worth's column, soon cleared the road at different places, and by the 17th, the head of Gen. Worth's column arrived at San Augustin ..—the enemy's skirmishers firing from every lull top and point which favored them on the route, and .their cavalry presenting themselves in force 'several times during the day, but never daring to attack: On the 18th, Gen. Worth's column moved down • the road in the direction of San Antonio, from which place the enemy fired upon a squadron of -dragoons, (killing Capt. Thornton, and wounding :the guide, Jonathan Fitzwater.) advanced to pro.' tect the engineers in a reconnoisance of the furtih-1 ' cations of San Antonio. Capt. Thornton had been `-very - unwell for some time, and went out in com mend of squadron against the advice of his • physician and his Senior officers ; but his energy I and gallantry would hot allow him to remain in active, when there was the least possibility of ' • meeting the foe. As soon as the dragoons were withdrawn, Col. Duncan's battery and the sappers I and miners moved down the road, and took a po. titian that would enable them to operate in any • direction, in case of emergency. Col. Smiths light battalion wasthrown out on the left front, to, watch the moVernents of the enemy, and to hold 'him in 'him in check in case of his advancing his flank I Immediately after, Col. Garland s brigade made a .-- - "Version to the right, and took position in line, resting his right at the hacienda of San Juan de - Dios, about 40U yards to the right of the road. As isoon as this movement was completed, the al bri. • gade, under Col. Clarke, moved down the road, tin , til 'the head of the column rested on the left wing of Col. Garland. One section of the mountain howitzers was brought forward, and thus they re mained until sundown, when the brigade of cav alry withdrew, leaving the infantry and artillery on the ground. About two o'clock a heavy rain cane on, which completely drenched the troops, - "and they were also exposed during the night to a ,slow, drizzling rain, without tents or blankets. Gen. Worth, with a part of the Ist brigade, occu- I pied the hacienda of San Juan de Dios during the night, and the enemy amused themselves by tiring a few random shot at it about sundown from San • Antonio, but without any other effect than to rid-1 dle the house completely with balls,' and to be, sprinkle the officers with the mortar and dust of; the old hacienda. During the day, Major Graham was sent out from San Augustin (General Scott's headquarters) towards Contreras., to protect thei engineers in a,reconnoisance of the route in that , direction; where during the forenoon, he engaged' . - a force of the enemy's cavalry and infantry, which he drove back with a loss of S killed. 2 wounded, and 5 prisoners; Major Graham'S command sus tained no loss. On the 19th the enemy fired froth the works at San Antonio on the hacienda of San Juan de Dios, supposing a part of our forces were still there.— About 10 o'clock the sappers and miners, under Lieut. Smith, and the section of mountain how. itzers, under Peut.Callender, returned to San Au -1 justin, and joined Gen_ Pillow's division, which! ..was then taking up its march in the direction of; Contreros. Gen. Pillow continued his march, opening the road as he went, until lie reached a 'FAO, from whence we had the enemy and his for ', tifications in full view. Between I and 2 o'clock, thedivision of Gen. Twiggs carne up with the ad vance, and moved forward—Gen, Smith's brigade .advancing to the left, and Col. Riley's to the right. r Gen. Pillow placed at the disposal of Gen. Twiggs Capt. McGruder's battery and Lieut. Callender's . • howitzers—both of which belonged to the proper division of Gen. Pillow. With great difficulty the two batteries moved forward, having to travel half a mile over a broken and confused mass of lava, apparently impassable; even for footmen. The enemy opened his heavy batteries from Contreras, and the advancing troops -of Geu. Smith's brigade hotly engaged the enemy's • infantry, which he had thrown out across a deep ravine and creek in trout of his fortifications, using his artillery for a time against the rear brigades of our army as they came up, but he was not able to stand the-severity of the conflict, and was corn.- ' pelted to retire with heavy loss. He then concen ' trated his fire upon the howitzers and Capt. Mc. • Grader's battery. These two batteries sustained, • for more than an boar, the fire of twenty two Pieces of artillery, mostly of large calibre, when • `'they were ordered by Gen. Smith to retire from so unequal a conflict. Their loss was very severe, • . and, among others, we have to lament the death • of Lieut. Johnson; Lieut. Callender was also se verely wounded. . Gen. Pillow had ordered Gen. Pierce'a brigade • • 'to the support of Gen. Smith, and Gen, Cadwala • ' der's to the - support of Col. Riley. At this state : of the battle, while it was raging with extreme severity, the enemy appeared on the leg side of Ithe fort at Contreros, and in rear of the village of Ensaldo, where Col. tiiley had arrived, with a force of 12,000 men, (which we afterwards learn ed was under the command of Santa Anna him self,) apparently threatening the safety of Col. . Riley and Gen. Cadwalader.. Gen. Pillow ordered the 15th Infantry, under Col. Morgan, to the sup port of Gen. Cadwalader. Gen. Scott came upon ' the ground about this time, bringing with him Gen. Shields a brigade of volunteers, (South Caro -".-line and New York) whom tie advanced to the • • support of the forces under Gen. Cadwalader. Gen: Twiggs finding his command so separated, and that it was utterly impossible, from th - e nature of the ground, for him to reach the point he in - , tended to occupy, as night approached, fell back with a 'portion of his staff to the place where Gen. Scott was passing the night, exposed' to a severe rain, without shelter, or any thing more than hie usual uniform, to protect him from the inclemency of the weather.

Louisiana had two brilliant representatives, who participated largely throughout the whole afiliir. vi: Gen. P. F. Smith, of the Ist brigade, 2d divis ion ; and Lieut. Beauregard, of the engineers.— both -- of which gentlemen signally detinguished themselves, both by their superior military knowl. edge and their personal courage. The engineer corps throughout has borne a large share of the labors and exposure of the battle.

They had five wounded, but I have nut been able to get their names. On seve ral occasions they rendered highly important ser vice, and excibited the metal all Americans pos sess. We also had many persons who bore a con spicuous part in the actions of both days, who were not attached to any particular command— among them I noticed conspicuously Maj. Bryant and Lieut.

We feel certain that we could nut occupy the same space in our paper with matter more acceptable to the great mass of our readers. ==l OrFIC lAL RI: Po UT OF TOE BATTLES —The 1 Union of Thursday night says: We understand; a steamer is to be kept in readiness at Vera Cruz i to receive the General's official details of his tran sactions and convey them to the Government.— They may, of course, be expected in a few days. Along with this fact, Thursday's southern mail brings a short note from the General's camp, con veying the following interesting intelligence. li., reduces the number of our killed and wounded, and - we shall be most happy to have it confin74.... , ge, give the extract as it comes: rr Extract. T•cu DATA ! A a:past 28. Our loss in killed, wounded and missing on the 19th and 20th, is 1.01.16, of whom 13 urn officers 122 rank and file were killed. The Mexican loss in killed, wounded and missing is at least 15,000. We have now granted an armistice, which it i s hoped will lead to peace. Negotiations have al ready commenced. Business or MANSFI ELD.-The following table of the amount of produce purchased at, and , for. warded from, Mansfield, Ohio, from the let of An gust, 1846, to the Ist of August, 1847, is taken from an article published in a Columbus paper. Wheat, bu.. 558,574 Flour, Ws.. 63,359 Corn, " .. 13,624 Pork, k , . . 3,588 Oats, ". , 6,230 Tobacco, 11 ss . .361,909 Clover seed, ".. 9,649 Lard, " .. 67,000 Timothy "" .. 1,834 Wool, ". . 245,916 Flax "" .. 1,576 Butter, " 353,000 Ashes, bbls. . 1,371 Leather, ". . 84,000 With an indefinite, yet large amount of smaller trade, viz.: apples, peaches, eggs, beans, &c., &c.

The value of the above exports at average prices paid in this place, over $1,000,000. LOCAL MATTER& TIIKLTRE.—On Monday evening, the Theatre was crowded with - a fashionable "'and' intelligent audience, on the nccasion: of the firsrappearafice in this city of Miss C. Wernysi, and the first ap pearance, for a number of years,' of Mr. C. Wemyss. Miss W. personatit*'the difficult .part of Julia in the Hunchback. We had nut the plea sure of seeing more than one scone, and can form but a poor estimate of her powertyet the critics of the audience united in the opinion that she went through exceedingly well. It is but a few months since this lady made her debut upon the stage; yet, like Mrs Mowatt, she has taken a high stand in her profession, and gives promise of a brilliant career. May ber highest aspirations be gratified. Mr. Wemyss was received by the audience with hearty cheers. We have not lately experienced more pleasure in the play house, than we did at the greeting given to the old ex-manager. He looked as he was wont. Though he never was a star, yet in his line he has always been regarded as a clever actor. We are glad the engagements of Mr. and Miss Wemyss will prove profitable. co. We are likely to have another Mormon agi tation in this country soon. "An Elder of Israel' is demonstrating to the people of Cincinnati that Joe Smith will rise again in three years and a half from the time of his death; and other inter esting events are predicted. We learn from "one of them " that an Elder will lecture in our city on the same subject. Well, let them go it; the Natives have meetings nightly in onr streets, and may not a sect whose crime is infatuation, be heard in the same places, if they choose to occupy them. Seriously, we can dream in our philosophy of the existence of something good in all sects and parties that now exist, except the two above re (erred to. them have the Diamond for their incendiary ravings; they can do no harm in an intelligent community like this. .• A Sews:. is Tows.—Mr. Nicholson, or the Eighth ward, on Sunday night, discovered a skunk in his garden, (for which be had been on the look out for some days,) and started after him, with more courage than taste. Just as the animal was making his escape through the fence, Mr. N. seized him by the tail, and held on, thus depriving him of hi■ only weapon, until help came. He was quickly killed, and yester4ay exhibited to the pub lic ; and by all admired for his beauty ! (0. There are not less than four pairs itinerant street minstrels, in the garb of females, now in this city; and one man with a monkey. How do they live? We are not so fastidious as some of our cotemporar les, who denounce them as nuisam ces, let them grind out their rnurie, it they can earn a penny by it. They do not harm any one that we are aware of. c 0"" Our Catholic fellow.citisens should under- stand that it ts now the policy of the Nativists to raise a riot, if it can be started by the Irish or Catholics The abject of the violent switches shat are delivered in the Diamond two nights in the week, is to provoke some indiscreet man, of foreign birth, to make an attack. We warn our friends to be on their guard. If the enemies of human liberty must have a row, let them begin it. Fos rill Scar or Wan.—The Ship Ohio sailed from New York on Friday morning for Vera Ciuz o+th ?•25 men on board for the 3d regiment of ar iittery, and men for the 3:11 regiment of infantry.

GREAT ITALIAN REMEDY. PHILADELPIIII April 25, 1845. Being afflicted for some 8 yaTas with that most listressing disease. the asthma, and foi the last years much of the time confined to my room, tral at several different times my life was des ,taired of; I concluded to obtain some of Ma• coni's Sicilian Syrup, whtch was recommended to ate by a friend from New York. who stated that *,t had cured some of the most inveterate cases mown to the medical profession. Suffice it to say, hat, after using the above medicine for about 4 reeks, I was entirely relieved, and I believe radi ally cured. Yours with respect, OLIVER W. GWEN, No 175 Bertram st, Philatra. Hays & Brockway, Wholesale and Retail Agents; see advertisement. feb22 Positive Proofs.—Consumption Dd Bleeding at the Lungs cured by the use of Dr. uncan's Expeclo•n rant Bawdy. Miss Emeline Yeager, aged 1,7 years, was taken. when at the age of sixteen,with a slight cold,which she neglected until the LUNGS fell a prey to that seeking destroyer CONSUMPTION; when applica tion to a physician was made but to no effect. He considered her case a hopeless one, and prescribed but little medicine for her. the meantime she discharged great quantities of blood, with much experteration of thick phlegm and cough. Her bodily frame at length became reduced to a living skeleton. Her'last was anxiously looked for by her friends, that her sufferings might end by the pangs of death. During the time, her physician frequently called, and as a last resource, determin ed to test tie virtues of "Dr. Duncan's Expectorant Remedy." having noticed some extraordinary cures performed by the medicine in similar caws. He at once obtained two bottles, and administered it to her. The fourth day he found some change, which gave hopes. He continued giving the medi cine for eighteen days at that time she was ren dered able to be walking in her bed chamber, to the astonishment of her friends and relatives. She continued using the medicine for eight weeks, when she declared herself entirely free from pain and disease, and now pursues hex daily occupation in perfect health. rogsj.A.frouzils BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
