The Prgressive Principle. .Much has been written, much is every day said, in relation to the steady advances which are bring made in the world, towards a greater state of per fection, than was attained to or than man was ca pable 0.4 in past ages. Notwithstanding this, how few there are, who are Prepared to join in the great' work,' of releasing man from the mental thraldoni in which he is held; or to embrace the truth for it's' own sake ! How many are there, who prefer.tO plod along, upon the beaten track of past ages, rather than seek to discover new sources of mental enterprise, by exploring the vast, untrod. den plains, wherein the mind might be enabled to diecover,•—•4f not gold and gems,— , at least, clear and beautiful streams of living water,,gently flow ing over glistening sands, or • snowy pebbles, into .the vast ocean of human knowledge! How many who receive as truth, without question, or without examination, all that comes to them from the lips or the'pens of those; injwhcim .they ere taught to place confidence! As a nest of unfledged birds, who-hates-for the flutter of the . parents' wings, so are the mass of uneducated, and unenlightened 'mankind. Derogatory to the character of the mass of man kind as this may seem, it is, nevertheless, true. and its 'Huth is applicable, to a great extent, even to those above the condition of the uneducated, and 4be ignortmt, We are inclined to believe, that the fact is less manifest in our country, than in many others; perhaps less so than in any other country; and the reasons why it is so, are quite evident ; in the freedom of oar-institutions, which enable every man to provide more abundantly for all his wants, and which offer to all, a more enlarged &betty of thought, of speech, and of action.; but, more especially, from the fact, that the very nature of pm institutions, by giving to every matt politi cal frecdoth, and impressing upon each some ideas of his own importance, as'one of the millions who - surround him, naturally leads him to rely, to a CCM sklerable extent, upon, his own judgment, in rela tion to the measures most proper to be pursued, in the political administration of his ,government. By this means, a- door is at once opened for entire , freedom. Yet how feW are there, who pass beyond! the threshold l How few who even venture to look i within theg/orious temple of their liberty, in order to discover what may be witnessed, by every anx ious inquirer after truth! Examine the professions of Medicine, of Law, of Divinity,--the same disposition is manifested, of treating to those of a former age, deemed wiser than we are; rather-than make the effort to be come wiser than they were. Our laws ' are in many particulars far more comprehensive, and just, than those or former times ; aod yet how often do we hear a Wish expressed, that we had some of those "good old : English Laws or, that we had --among - us a Solon:or a Lycurgns I And, whenever a proposition is made to abrdgatean old law, with s-view to the establishinent of a principle deemed more just and equitable; or even to change or dia. some antiquated form of proceedingr—frow `many are there, who are at once aroused to contend for and sustain'the unmeaning , form, or the barba• rous statute !• How few to welcome the adVance of doctrines, more appropriate to the•times ; and how zealously must, these few exert themselves in its defence! 'ln Medicine, no less tbai in law, may we see this blind reliance upon the settled inaxinur of eminent authorities. He who would simplify pmctice,l who would suggest a mode of treetinent for disease, at variance with • the fa vOrite and fashionable notions of the profession, is at once aeconnted an etopyric; and all the author ity of law is exerted, to arrest his efforfi to discov er truth. fn_none of the professions are we more , blindly led—in none is there less effort made to depart from the fixed and settled rules of former generations,—than in that of Divinity. The opin ions of those who are termed "fathers in the Church" are almost as much relied upon, as is the Great bander of the Church himself; and any effort to introduce into -the Church more of rationality, of spirituality, of the ADVANCING suns of the age, is at once met with the cry of heresy; Sad-the movers in the work are anathe-1 matised, or their voices silenced by the overpower' ing cry of denunciation. Forgetting that "the let ter killeth ; but the spirit giveth life," we are en joined to beware of non-conformity;"we are told that we must believe as the Church believes; that 'we most. unite with the Church, 'or our condition is an uncertain one;—es if the humbly striving. .szid truly seeking votary of truth, could not rely upon Him alone who is the source of truth, rather than upon modes of faith, and forms of worship, of man's devising;-es if truth were revealed to man through but" one source, and by that source in but one manner. lIMEI We would notdiscard the wisdom of the past; 'but,- studying the liastflve would avoid-its follies. would not reject the able arguments; the watchful experience, and the pure and ennobling precepts and doctrines of the past. .No; these we cannot reject but we would examine au. those with reference to their truth; and, whether --thetimpress of that Divine attribute is to be found upon the discarded pages of antiquity, or in,what are termed the dreamy musings of the profoundly `thinking minds of our day, we would sieze upon 'the - glorious treasure, and, appropriate it to our This iekthe great aim of man 7 -thc pbint to which all his efibrts have been directed, since first - he came.flotrt The band of his Maker ;—blindly, feebly, and misdirected, in many cases, we admit, fs, such haaalways been, his aim-.. to reach the pare countain of troth. Then why Should we not seek to encourage, rather than thwart the wishes of our fellow Man -e•why seek -to overcpme.the ordinations of Divine Wisdom t ,discard a new doctrine be promulgated , why at once :diseard not carefullk and impartially ex amine it, with reference alone to its foundation in - truth If it be hOt capable of bearing - a close examination, none need. to fear its. promplgation ; and if it is -true, it cannot be overcome.

PuEnt.a, October 20th, 1847. • My llear ,Mary take.: . this, opportunity to inform you that I received yeiir letters on the 13th, and that lam well. And I hope that these few . lines may find you and all ,my relations in health.. The atmy left this ` City on the 9th of August. We remained in Mtietness till the 15th of the same month. when tbe Mexicans commen ced firing on our pickets, which were stationed one square from the garrison—endeavoring to drive in the gud. In this, .they were unsuccess ful at every a ttempt. On the 25th of, Septern ber, General Santa Anna summoned the Common ' der of the American garrison ; stationedin Puebla. to surrender the three different posts. POll. Chihli made - the following brief reply Having been honored with the custody and safe keeping of these places, it is alike my desire and my duty to maintain them to the last. Feel ing fully confident in the means at my disposal to aczomplish that purpose, I have the honor to be your Excellency ! most obedient servant, The fighting commenced now in earnest; though the. Mexicans had an army, according to Santa Anna's own words, of _B,OOO soldiers, and 70,000 hostile inhabitants in the' city. The firing down the streets, was terrific. The pickets were in the most darig,erous positions ; and were obliged to stand in doors, so that the balls would not touch them. On one of the streets, the Mexicans built a battery of cotton bales, and so substan tialty, that our artillery would street it very'little. Froth behind this, they kept up a continual fire on Mir men, until the Ist day of October, when a body of Pennsylvanians, after much labor, digging through the walls, took the battery—killing some i2O of the enemy. We, also burned the cotton balle's, and blowed up the houses. We received no firing from that point afterwards. In this manner did . the small body of Pennsylvania troops (not amounting to'2'.io fighting men) con• tend with Santa Anna and his 8,000 troops and 70,000 hostile inhabitants. Things had begun to 'took 'fearful—the enemy had cut off nearly all our supply of water, and-had driven away a large number of cattle that were intended for food for the garrison, and so more meat could be had. Of Hour There was plenty—so that there was no want of bread; amt other rations were plenty. The duty was very hard—one day on guard, which was toetni' four hours; the next night on the ramparts,; the next day on guard again. On the 12th, the train from Vera Cruz arrived. ,This put a stop•to all hostilities in the city. During the seige, seven of our men were Ityly wounded And on the 12th, company K was, by some means, surrounded by a large body of lancerstwenty to one of our men. In this fight they lost 13 killed and wounded. The police brought in 12 of the dead bodies; the other was so mangled, and the dogs had eaten him him so, that they buried him where he lay The others were buried in one grave, with the honors of Fart Peace to their ! ashes ;—and may that respect be paid to the mem ory of the Pennsylvania regiment, whir tell—who died with their narnestun, and their faces towards the enemy—which is their due. So far, have I been spared by the Great Being; though surrounded by danger from the enemy and from disease. I feel thankful to God for His merciful protection of me solar; and my prayer is, that you, and the little one that is given to our care, may enjoy health, till we meet again—if that time shall ever come. I'. S. Tell my. friends that,l cannot write to them-at present, as the Spy company leave soon; give my respects to them all. Your husband, Dear Sir :—I basted to give a few lines for your information, as to our proceedings since I last wrote. This opportunity is agarded by Col. Do mingo's "Native Spy Company," now in the U.S. service, which leaves here in an hour. Our de tachment being left here by Gen. Scott last Au gust, as the main garrison of the city, we have (as the consequence will show) been allotted the experience of a seise. Our whole garrison, at moat, did not exceed 1500 men, convalesent and all We were besieged by 8,000 Mexicans, under Generals Santa Anna, Ampudia, and Alvarez, who made several attempts at gaining our posts; but were driven back with great loss. We were sum- ' moned to surrender; but cheered in defiance of their power, and respectfully declined marching "out with the nonors of war." We were relieved by Gen. Lane and Col. Wyn• coop, from Perote, with 3,300 men : after a siege of 60 days, 28 of which we were closely invested, living on tit rations, and sleeping; (when we got that privilep) on the roof. Order is again restored and the city in our possession. During the seige, our sentinels were obliged, from the firing, to dig, through whole blocks of houses to get on the post, and the breastworks of cotton, built by the enerity, were charged and burned by this method. Our loss is nine men wounded, as follows, viz: Geo Rishaberger, Jas. M!Cutcheon, Jas. Bowden, Mansfield Mason, David Lindsay, Henry Lynch, Sohn H. Hoover, Robert Wilson, John Holand. Company li. - „Capt. Herron, 13 killed and 4 wound-, ed, in a skirmish on the morning the train arrived. - Gen. Scott ie in Mexico with 6000 men. All is quiet there. Gen. Lane is here with about 5000 men, and skint 1000 on the way, under command of Gen. Cushing. Out of 94 men in our company, when we left, we have now 21 fit for duly. Company only 17 fit for dtity, I am well and in good spirits, I intend sticking out until relieved 'by the cost/ of the war, or by discharge. I. cannot go home without the corn- rzia We hear that Lieut. Ankrim is recruiting for our Regiment. For our , part, toe want no recruits; but it is our wish to return at the expiration of one year, as Gen.- Scott says that we have per. formediour share of . the service. We wish to re turn to our old occupations once more. I send you two papers to-day, put out here by our, Regiment, called the " Flag of the Union." Give my respects to all my friends.

YANKEE DOODLE IN MEXICO " Mustang " faVors his - readers with the fol lowing graphic picture of " Yankee Doodle in the theatre:" '• r _ .. _ October ,B.—Last night vre had an eccentric scene' at the theatre.

As soon as , they : finished; , the , audience, being mostly Americacalled tor Ylin-' kee Doodle; m but the orchestra iiaid - no attention, They stamped and rapped, as irthey.wOuld-bring the house down over our heads, but still the Orchestra heeded not. - At length the belkrang, and tip went the curtain.: The audience seemed for an instant as if they were willing to give it up, but at this momenta , tull, slab.sided - looking genius, who bore theappearanee of being a real, thorough 'bred, patriotic iioliintier of the first water, raised himself about .half straight," and said--.. 1 often heard thrit Yankee Doodle was the Americans' fightin` tune; but as the darned etarnal Greasers kept us so buiy while we were fightiny that we could'nt have time even to whistle a little, I think we might haie a little touch of Uncle Serifs favorite, if it's only to make a feller think of the white settlements." This acted like an eccentric shock upon the audience, and they recommenced their ca s for Yankee Doodle: The actors appear ed upo the stage, but still they continued to stamp halloo- Senora . Canette bowed grace. fully, and smiled bewitchingly, but it was no use; they had determined upon hearing our national air, and' nothing could persuade them from , it.— The actors withdrew, the curtain fell, the orches tra complied with their demands, and the balance of the evening passed off,in excellent. order. A Mexican gentlerean, sitting in front erne, remark ed to his friend, that it was the best illustration of the American character he had ever witnessed —that when they once determined upon anything, 'neither the firmness of man, nor the solicitations of' woman, could induce them to cease in their object, and that in ten minutes after or before any efforts, you would think, Qom their appearance, that they were as docile as lambs, and as harm- less as infants. :Mona FAVOII•BLE Etocrse iSTEziTouces'.' In addition to the summary of the Acadia's news we discover the folio .ving highly .impottant para graph in the Boston Evening Transcript, of Satur day last 20th : t , A friend kindly banded us a copy of a tele graphic dispatch received at Liverpool just as the steamer was.leaving, which brings the gratifying intelligence that money' was easier and the panic subsiding. The East India mail had arrived, and the accounts by her are favorable. Money was easier at the London Stock Exthange—say, sir per cent. The telegraphic dispatch announcing this news was received la the Exchange Room, Liverpool, at 10 o'clock, A. M., Nov. 4 th.

M.—Prices are a point lower, since Friday last, but at the same time we conceive the tone of the market 'to be more hopeful and animated, than on any day either of this week or last.

Although prices have come to a moderate point, still the trade can not be induced to purchase more than their imme- diate wants require, :'as stake of foreign in the United Kingdom are large, while of borne grown they are excessive.". 0 ,„ ( The opinion generally formed by the tenor of what was said by other reports by the last advices is, that there is to be continued demand for our breadstutTs abroad. This, however, would indicate at least that such a thing is not to be of immedi• ate occurrence. Ma.

Two journals, which have a circulation of from ten to twelve tholusand per day, approve his po sition, while one or two others, having a somewhat less circulation, are neutral.
