• OUR MACHINISTS, tic.
We loin° time since mentioned the fact that
fessrit. Haywood 4- Snyder, of this Borough, had.
ieceiFetim order from the Glendon Iron Compay
ty 01 . Boston, for . engines, -machinery and cast :
ngs for an extensive Rolling Mill, • now being
riveted in that city, A - great portion of this
order has already been completed, and parcels are
daily sent off to their future destination. The
engines and machinery ofiabis establishment will
be of the :no-t powerful and suhAantial build,
and calculated toturn out twelve thousand tons
of bar and rail road iron annually.
Many persona would dotiotless entertain some
surprizo 'at the frrquent and extensive" orders re
ceived froni abroad by our machinists. But
great ns are their facilities for •dgeputchin-•
this branch of business, they are frequently
s..ompell'ed to decline order'iitendered them. The
firm above mentioned, owing to the• multiplicity
or engagements, have been compelled to refuse
several heavy orders
. from abroad, within a short
time past. - -
The reputation of our Machinists. in this branch
of business, is general dirough - out the Union.
The'machinery of many of the , leading Rolling
Mills, Furnaces, &c. of Nis State, were made
here ;—and out the leaSt feature in the great num
ber of these establishments, and which has ten
ded to place u 3 far in precedkince of any other
State-in the Unien,i3 the accuracy and faithful
ness of their operations,—thus contributing much
to the success of thi3 Iron interOsts. The degree
of sup4riority perhaPs most characteristic of our
engines and machinery, is the sub,stantiul build.
and the consequart,reservation of strength in
each horse-power, added to perfec t ion of fin{-sh
l • scarcely admitting of tivillty. These featureshar
i moniously•joined througliout, cornprize strength
. and durability superior to the power required of
. them, and_contribute much to the
. suceess Of the
work depending on their Zithful performances.
-- By this means, our engines generally raise their
allured horse-power quicker ‘ and more regularly
'than is dune by others of dffferent build, but of
. the same allotted capacity.
•
•••The great amount of work done bye our Ma
chinists - furnishes, perhaps, the most significant
• evidence of the superiority of their work in gen
eral. .Last year over fifty ctigilics, (with it pro
portionate. iiitiount of machinery . and castings.)
were complited in' this county: The present
year. Will doubtless equal, if nut surpass, last years
aggregate of work,'if not the number of engines.
Upwards of one thousind persons are employed
con . Stantly,-and we doubt whether there' is anoth
• • ther county: in the Union where the same amount
of: business, and a like number of hands aro eria
. plo)e4 throughout the year.

—Tbersteamer . Mary Kingsland arrived on the
7th with later Awe from Vera Cruz. She brings
accounts of the'two victorious baitlee t isf ,Contre
iss and Charbusco, so called from the field works
of the enemy. The proposition for an armistice
was made by Gen. Scott, supposed.to have been
at-the instance of the British embassy. The re
;ion heretofore given, that the crty of Mexico was
at our mercy, seems to be unfounded, and should
pace not follow from the negotiations now pend
ing, another battle must ensue.'
A letter from Mr. -Kendall, dated Tacubazo,
August 22d, says the Archbishop's' palace of this
Place is now occupied by. Gen. Scott and a por
tlion of the army. Alter-defeating the enemy in
two of the hardest fought battles of the war, on
the 14th inst., a reconnoisance made by Col.
I Duncan, having atitisfied
.Gen. Scott that a road
fur artillery could be cut from Calcoa to San Au
gustine, Gen. Worth's division moved in that di
rection on the 15th, followed by Generals Quit
mam•Pillow and Twins. By this move a new
line of operations was taken on the southern and
western sides of the city of Mexico, and the strong
works of Penon and Mexicalsingo, on, which
Santa Anna bad bestowed such immense labor,
were completely turned..
On the 15th of August, Gen. Worth marched
as far as the Hacienda of San Gregoris, when a
halt was ordered by Geri. Scott, as Gen. Twiggs
had met a large force of the enemy, at Chalcoa.—
Gen. Twiggs promptly ordered the heaviest guns
to be unlimbered, and after a few discharges, the
enemy were dispersed with a loss of six killed.
Oct the 17th Gen. Worth resumed- his march
near a•terrible bad road, but by 8 o'clock in the
morning he was in sight of the dome and spires
of the Capitol, without any opposition except that
rocks had been rolled into the road and ditches
dug, evidently showing that Gen. Scott had sto
len a march on Santa Anna. On rethinif this
point, however, a scattering fire was opened by a
force stationed in an advantageous position,which
was soon silenced by Col. Smith's light battalion
of the 2d ariillery, under Maj. Galb. Another
attack was shortly after maile,abut again the enc•
inv's pickets were driven in without loss,
At 7 o'clock on the 18th, Gen. Scott jarrived
at San, Augustine, and at 10 o'clock Gen:l Worth
was in full march for the City of Mexico by the
Main road. najora Smith and Turnbul ( l, Capt.
Mason and other . Engineer officers were sent in
advance supported by Cala'. Blake's Squadron of
Dragoons, to reconnoitre, when a masked battery
Was opened un them, and the first ball from an
eighteen pounder. killed Capt. Thorntiin ;la the
2d Dragoons, besides seriously svotnidintu guide.
Col. Garland's brigade was ordered to occupy
a position in plain sight of • the enemy's batt er ies
at San Antonio, whilst Col. Stark's brigade and
Duncan's battery took their station in the rear
close by A party was then sent out to reconnui
' tre to ascertain the practicability of finding a road'
by which the village of San Angel could be reach-
ed, and the strung bald of San Antonio thus
turned this party had a skirmish with the ene
my, killing five or six and taking many•prisoners
without losieg `a man:
The result of the reconnoisance was favorable,
and it was ascertained that a road could be made.
The Mexicans were plainly seen in force near
Bronteras, and at a council held that night, it
was determined to attack them in the morning.—
While this recormoisance was going on, Gen.
Worth had established himself at the hacienda of
govern. front the .windows •of which counties;
mullets of the enemy could be seen . at work upon
the batteries of San Antonio.- About noon they
opened upon:the hacienda with both round shot
and shell. Nearly every shot took effect but did
no damage. except to the buildings; late in .the
evening. They weiesilenttharthil the night. Had
I the fire been kept op, the hacienda might have
been turn to pieces, and the entire command ccim
pelted to retire.
AtB o'clock on the morning of the 19th the
batteries again opened art General Worth's,
:So hot was the fire that the troops were
compelled gain shelter behind flip 'buildings,
but did not, give up their position. About nine
o'clock the divisions of Twiegs arid Pillow were
ordered to march iu the dilectiou of Bronteras,
sod by 1' o'clock in the afternoon wet e in plain
sight of the enemy's batteries and within range of
the heavier guns. The brigade of Col.' P. T.
Smith was ordered to advance directly towards
the enemy's works, whil f 4 that of Col. Riley•mo
ved towards a small village at the right and thus
cut off reinforcements which might be sent to
Valencia from:the city. An incessant fire was
opened on Cal. Smith's command and soon the
Rifles were engaged with the pickets pf the ene
my. driving them in. The twelve pounder batte
ry of °apt. Magrudet and the mountain howitzer
batteries now commaniled by Lieut. Callender of
the Ordnance department were pressed forward
and opened on the'enemy, but were so mush ex
posed to a tire frotnbeavier guns, that they were
soon silenced. Lieut. Johnson and Callender
were seriously wounded.
At 3 o'clock Gero;Cadwalader was ordered out
to support Cul..flileyr-heavy reinforcements hav
ing been seen on their. way out from the city,
whilst Gen. Tierce was sent to sustain General
Smith. The tiring from the enemy's batteries
was incessant. About 4 o'clock .Gera. Scott ar
rived; and seeing the immense strength of the
at ones ordered Gen. Shields' brigade
CO support Riley and • Cadwalader and prevent if
possible, a junction of the forces coming out of
the city, with Those of Valencia, hut few"of the
movements of our troops could be seen, but every
motion of the enemy was visible. - The order of
battle of Valencia was most imposing. His in
fantry was seeriilrawn up to support the batte
ries, whilst long lines of the enemy's, cavelary
(were stationed in the rear as if awaiting the shock
lof the battle.
Two seperate charges of the latter wore dis
tinctly seen to be repulsed by ; Col. Riley. • Until
night, hail fairly closed in, the firing from the
eneniy's baCte'ries had not slackened it had been
a continuous roar for nearly six hours.
Gen. Scott retired to San AuguStine about 8
o'clock in the midst of a hard rain, and Gen:
Twiggs and Pillow came in about 11 o'clock com
pletely • exhausted, not -anticipating the great
strength of the works of the enemy. • • •
' "R•was thought that the batteries could be taken
at adash, and that the troops would be comforta
bly quartered at San Angel for the night ; instead
of this a large portion iii them were compelled to
bivouac, without blankets in the midst of a piti
less storm. • •
On -the morning of the 20th, General Worth
was ordered to move a part of his division (Gar
land's brigatle)•to s aid in the attack on Valencia,
for to force tAerposttion was: deemed indispen
sable. _
At 7 o'clock a few discharges of cannon were
heard, and the ratiling of musketry, and some
even said that "in the distance horses of the ene
my could be seen flying towards the city, yet few
deemed that' the batteries had been stormed and
tarried; yet it was so." Gen.. Scott, accompanied
by Gen. Wolth, started fur the scene of action,
when they were .met by Calit. Mason, with the
joyful .intelligence that Valencia had 'been com
pletely routed after a terrible struggle.
attack - upon his works were planned by
Gen. Smith,' and resulted in the capture of 14
.pieces of artillery and some 1500 prisoners,
among shem , Gen's. Blanco, Garcia, Mendoza and
the n4torious Salas He also captured all the
ammunition and camp furniture, and the road
over-which those escaped was strewed with musk
ets. No less than 700 of the enemy, among thern
many officers were left dead upon the field, whilst
the numher of wounded was far greater.
Th'd Werke of Bronteras were completely in the
power of the American 'army. •
•
.Gen/Scott .rit'unce ordered Gen. /Worth to
fall backen San Antonio, to turn and capture that
work and then push ‘oil towards the Capital
by the Main road, whilst the main body of the
army moved on toward San Angel and Cohoycam.
Gen. Twins had scarcely moved a half a inile
beyond. the litter village; when a rattling fire of
musketry announced that it was actively engaged
with' the outposts of the / enemy, and the laravy
booming of cannon row gave token thrit the
noted 2.(1 Division had fallen: on another strong
work. -

eel to destroy it in 'the most expeditious mamier.
lie accordingly tied a bunch of matches to a pole;
ignited: and applied them' to the nuisance. The
hoinet's nest was soon destroyed. ; Unexpectedly
to the owner, the barn also toOk•tire,.arid with
all its contents, •was totally consumed. Some'

.r .7 .7. - The imparts from. England are eery large.
The British are pouring in their manufactures at
every arrival. - In 1.846 the importation of plain
and prinied calicos from Great Britain was in
round numbers, tt,irteen millions seven hundred
thousand yards. ' In 1847, under the new tariff,
the imports of the same kinds of calicos have run
up to forty.six millions four hundred thousand
yards. Now, so long as we could send grain to
England at good prices, we could stand these im
portations well enough; hut the great fall in the
price of our produce in the British markets, shows
too plainly that we have no right:to expect high
