The whole force t‘hich moved (rim) Puebla amounted to ten thousand men, more or less— marching in four columns on successive days, in the following order, viz: Twiggs, Quitman, Worth and Pillow. In approaching the city of Mexico by.tbe min highway, you go directly on. to'the height of El Penon, which is a strong position arid excessively fOrtified. Before leaving Puebla it had been considered whether the main road could nut be avoided, and El Penon turned, by passing round to the south and left of lakes Clialeo and Joch. itritice. The engineer officer, serving immediately Wgrii4 " 4l' bead quarters, had questioned a large . number of persons, (including spies and agents Sent especial ly to examine the route.) and the mass of testimony was entire to the boggy, mucky and perfectly impracticable character fur wagons arid Artillery of the road leading in that direction. It was therefore in contemplation to turn El Penon, by foicing the enbmy's lines at 'Mexicalzingo, al though:the ground was difficult, and the batteries knoWptc be numerous. This route, you will vb. is to the north and right of those lakes.— The reconnoisances of the engineers were conse quentlyArected to this end. In the mean time, Worth, whose division had been left at Chalco . (while Gen. Scott, with Twiggs' division, had gone On to Ayotla,) Eerit - Ciil. Duncan, still! c Strozig party, to examine the denounced route.— (:ol.`D, fopnd it just the reverse of what it had been pronounced to be ;—it was firm, rocky, and qUite . practicable, requiring,to be sure, a little labor here and there. Gen. Worth instantly sent Col. Duncan with this information to Gen. Scott, and urged the movement of the whole army to the left of lake Chalco. This recommendation instantly prevailed. The direet attack was abandoned, and the next morning the AA bole alloy was in motion. Worth's division in the rear, (now by the change of the line of operations become the front,) took the lead, and the Whole mass filed to the left of the lakes to San Augustin, which is on the great Aca pulco highway to the city of Mexico, and about nine miles from it. This is the history of the strategy of the business. We arrived at Sari Augustin on The evening of the 17th. „The first position of the enemy was at San Antonio, 23 miles off in advance. General Worth sent an engineer officer the next morning to reconnoitre. Capt. Thornton, of the Dragoons. escorting him. lle went to about 1000 yards of • the enemy's battery,leaving the company some bun (heti yards in the rear. When the engineer officer began-to examine the battery with his spy glass, S' , Mn was fired at him. The ball passing over Lim, struck .Capt. Thornton from his horse, tearing sway- his "whole breast and ribs. Poor fellow! he .had not ten days to live; he was so feeble that, he could scarcely sit in his saddle. Physicians • andlriendi had remonstrated against his going out ; brit. he-had, I doubt not, made up his mind that nothing but death itself should take him from his He bad been troubled and pestered in many ways, butbe was as, pure and honorable a Man as ever lived. This reconnoisance resulted in the intelligence that the position of San Anto nio could be turned by its right our left. Another reconnoissance was directed by Gen. Scott, to as certain whether, by branching eat San Augustine and taking a wider circuit to our left, we could not-gain the Tacubaya road and turn all the ene my's - works. The engineer officer went about a leigite on this road, where he came upon a ravine occupied by the enemy in force .on the opposite ground was found to be rough and bro. Ifen,beyond description, still practicable for infan -. trYilind with labor doubtless could be. made so for cavalry and artillery. Accordingly this was de ciled upon as theroute on which the army was to Moy:e. On the morning of the 10th, working par ties were pushed forward to repair or rather make the Mad. Pitlovvis division, support2d by Twiggs', were to dispoisess the enemy of the ravine before Mentioned. Upon trial it was found that the ene . could not be brushed - away. He was strongly fortified, in great force, with- upwards of 20 pieces of 'artillery. A battle bad therefore to be fought .before the road could be cleared. As our troops approached the position, the enemy openTil a dis fent-cannonade; which he kept up from one or two o'ilock• until dark. , .The mountain howityers and Magruder - a battery vere posted as counter batteries, but itethe enemy's guns 'were is pounders, 24 potinders and such , behind parapets, or at any rate ' - in.c4mtnatiding •positions, yon can readily Who got the worst of it.

In the mean time, Worth's division began operations, on the . .!oth, Broom) Sun Apioll in, over the route that had twice been reconnoitered by the erigirwer officer, who led `mitt's light hatallion and Clarks brigade around this position. As soon as the enemy discovered our troops in motion, he began to abandon his works and to retreat on the main road to the city --our troops pushing on with rapidity, reached the road in time to pierce the retreating column about its centre, killing and capturing some and disper sing tie rest in all directions. The remainder or the division hurried up through the village and joined Clarks brigade. The whole division pres sed on along the highway in hot pursuit of the re treating enemy up to the village of Churubuseo, where Our troops come across another strongly in trenched position. These defences consisted of a regular bastion field cork, with wet ditches. It served as a bridge head, and as as thrown across the road ; to its right and somewhat in advance of it, l is a strong stone church, as ith a field work in front. The flanks of the field cork Here connected as ith a high stone wall, whicb enclosed the chur‘ . .ll.—! To the rear of the church and bridge head there is; a deep net ditch, running perpendicularly to the road, arid extending far. - off to the enemy's left, and therefore, — parallel to our front ; behind this ditch was an infantry line, stretching from right to left quite a mile long. When Worth's division came as ithin reach or the bridgehead, it was formed on the right (our right,) or the road, and moved lorward through the dense corn fields, in front of the enemy s lines. The infantry troops behind the ditch before mentioned, sooon gave way arid fled to their entrenchments. As our troops approached the enemy's intrenchnrents, the most terrific fire that you ran possibly imagine was opened upon them. Suffice it to say, that the bridgehead was forced, and the enemy's left com pletely routed. Twiggs' and Shields' troops and some of Pillows' approached the right of the ene• my's lines, where they suffered severely. Frank Taylor's battery was brought up to counter batter the field work, and most gallantly served, but be. ing directly opposed to heavier metal. was cut to pieces. Aitincan's battery was established in a position" which enfiladed or took the enemy's works in reverse, it therefore did great execution, and not being exposed to the enemy's heavy guns. suffered but little. Our loss was severe—proba• bly it mill exceed a thousand killed and wounded. The loss of the enemy, in killed and mounded, is much greater than ours. but cannot be accurately estimates!, We have :2700 prisoners, several hun.

The states men of that party, if it is true, say not a wont, —they have sense enough to see and feel the awk.l wardress of their position ; but the small fry keep; barking and spitting spleen, while every sensible man in the community laughs at their stupidity.: A good Whig manufacturer remarked to us, the other day, that the greatest curse the tnanufacturer have to bear, is the constant intermeddling of the Whig newspapers, and the twaddle of Whig poli ticians. All we desire, said he. is that these po-! litical bunters will let us alone; we have suffered enough already, by allowing them to drag us into their political , bghts, and to make us bear the bur then of their campaigns.

REPOOT OF TUE COMMITTEE ON FIIVIT.I.-• Among the varieties presented, there %ere several from John Murdoch, jr , and others, against which there was no competiting varieties' of the same kind being presented, by any one else. In other instances, the size and quality of the Fruit offered by different competitors, were so nearly equal, that the Committee did not feel' themselves justified in indicating a preference Among the specimens of Pears, the Bartlett and Genesse of J. Alusdoch, were superior to any de. scription of fruit of the pear idrid, that appeared, excepting the Peckle. Of this variety. there were several specimens, the two best by Mr. Butchin son .and W. and J. Aturdoch, bulb of which were excellent, and too nearly equal in merit to admit - • . of any distinction. Arnong the Apples, the attention of the Com mittee was attracted to the Ribston's Pippin, En glish Codling, and Roxbury Russet of W. and J. _Murdock. The two tirat of these Isere exhibited for the first time in this city, and their appearance is answerable to their high reputation. — Mr. Martin's Rhode Island Greening and Sum mer Pearmain were very superior; 'and thecataw ha and Isabella Gritipes of John G. Mirtin were the best exhibited.-- Mr. McKinney's Green Rambo and Golden l'ippin were beautiful specimens and attracted much notice. Specimens of Quinces trete presented by Mrs. Collins, of uncommon size and beauty: She :had several competitors whose specimens were:of su perior kinds. Those of Mr. Townsend :and Mr.: Miller were uncommonly fine and but little infer ior to those of Mrs. Collins. Mr. Townsend:pro duced some French Pippins, and apples called Townsend Sweet, which were quite superior.. Mr. Townley exhibited the Cooper. apple, Got- I , den Greening, Townley's Seedling and a large and beautiful specimen of an unknown variety. The third specimen was named by the committee. It is a large and beautiful apple, nut sufficiently ripe to be tested, but it bears a very high reputation The fourth specimen is an apple very large and of a yellow color, but not mature enough to ena ble the committee to characterize its flavor. The l committee, although requested to give it a name I ' have thought proper to await the trial of this - ap• l i pie at the next annual exhibition, when a title may be gi% en with some reference to its quality: The committee have been more particular in alluding to the two specimens last mentioned, front their I desire to attract public attention to our seedling fruits. They have no doubt that if properresearches' were made, many varieties woad be discovered: throughout Western Pennsylvania, that would de. serve general propag l ation. Many specimens other than those above mentioned were exhibted, which :would hate been noticed by the committee, had it been necessary. Considering that ;his is the first I exhibition of fruits since the revival of the Socie ty, the display was creditable and satisfactory, not only to the committee, but, as they believe, to all I who witnessed it. The Committee have reserved the notice of Mr. I Shires' Peaches to the close of' their report. In size and beauty they surpassed any that have here. tofore been exhibited in Pittsburgh. A very-re markable variety was exhibited by Mr. Thos. S. Hart. The name was not given, but it has an ex act resemblance to Crawford's Alalacatune. This specimen alone was equal to the Crawford's Mala catune of Mr. Shiras. The cultivation of choice peaches is but recent in this neighborhog. From the example afforded at this exhibition, the com mittee anticipate a rare display of this fruit at the next anniversary. -Mr. Shiras will then find that he has competitors that will put his eminent hor ticultural skill to" a test not hitherto experienced.

Dr. Colton declared, after delivering.a lecture there, that he felt relieved to find that he had ca aped with his life. He said he would not risk anther Lecture in that city, without having his apparatus insured The conduct in our sister, city, is indeed too had! The authorities' and citi• tens should interfere, to- prevent such scenes, it is a hard case, when a scientific lecture cannot be delivered without risk of life and limb. We call the attention of "Rthose whom it may concern." QjThe Whig meeting in, Allegheny market on, Thursday evening, was a grand failure; notwith= standing,the reports circulated that' Mr. Forward would deliver one of his big speeches, Joe Bar ker held a Native meeting nt the Othe . rend . of the market, and had by far the best crowd.
