Here is an of the storming of Cha’pullepec: .' “It was a somber morning, the heavens ncing- obsburadi,^|l h j tillclf clouds H thereforei not’a’wall of the castle was'visible to the eye—nothing but the lights, that illu minated it, attracted' the eye—presenting a grand, imposing 'spectacle—a concentration of brilliant meteors, suspended from the black clouds above, being the nearest similtude (o i,, As we neared the castle, the greatest possible caution was observed; "Tile men were cautioned not to ailoW their (in Canteens to strike agalhiif tKeir hhuskets orxartridge boxes —not a word was allowed spoken in the ranks —every possible precaution was taken to keep the enemy in igno'rhnce df our ap proach. Onward we marchdd, with noiseless steps, silent tongues, and palpitating' hearts. Neater atidifeafer we approached the formb dabl§, castle, bristling with hqavy artillery', and containing 12,000 of Mexico’s best troops, and Commanded by one of her bravest and best genera.s. Suddenly we wdre fyroughl to a halt —the division to, which 1 tvas attach ed being intended to support a battery under the command of Captain' Drum, which had been erected during the night, dircily under the castle. Just as we halted, the shiill notes of a trumpet assailed our'ears. Then the rol ling of drums were heajtd, and presently a full band joined in.' Rdras'lhe enemy'play tng the reveille. A death-like stillness 1 pre vailed in our ranks at' the time—not a whis per or a breathing could be heard—therefore/ so unexpected was the music, that when it struck the ear, it caused a momentary thrill to shoot through felt' a peculiar in describable sensation. „I have, po .doubt oth ers experienced ’the .sarpq, “Ytiamiftfe‘ v Vfaa suddenly interrupted,— bang-r-r I went one bf the huge - pieces oT-ar littery from Drum’s battery fora moment me dreadfiiiwliiz-z-z! of its iron death-mes senger wap heard tip rough j lha air, and; then ns fatal cHsn 4s ft ktrUdktbe caslle. ; Instant ly evejy light in the castlp was quenched, and a was invisible—shrouded in darkness. .Si lence Was no longer observed in our rantysj tbp commanding voied of -Baxter to ‘,For ward!’ was heard.

' Aljaciied to the South Carolina regiment.were.severaj rne gr.oes—slaves, who had accompanied their masters j some of them privates, too—bn the campaign ; and on several occasions displayed commendable gallantry. , One of the negroes ,—a huge, black, muscular about ten yards from one of the guns, and at every discharge, he would eagerly watch what ef fect. jt would have, upon the castle.’, If, a fa vorable one, he .would Jump,. up in the air, clap,hia hands.and excjajm;.“Golly, maspa, you’give 'em goss 'dat.'timp^aua^t” ( CThpn he tyoultkresume his. position. betyibd .a'trpe, and bwait with anxiety the -discharge of an other cannon, with slrajqing, dyfcs watch for ♦he shot to strike the castle, and then rush into the road, and go through the saipe per formance as mentioned above. .The fellow had conducted himself in this manner for (wo or three hours, when a shot from our battery made desperate havoc with one of the- out.

Thus, suddenly springing to his feet, he leaped about five feet fronq-.the ground, struck his. .heels together, clapped husbands, and exclaimed: “Who-o-upl- Hoo-rah I By grashus, massa, dat. was the best of ’em all I Giva.il )o ’im again |” s »t *• “Just as he concluded (ho last sentence, the loud report of a mopsler cannon was heard from the castle, then the whizzing noise of a ponderous shot, as it. came flying .through the rilr. It was the poor negro's death-mes senger ; before he had an’ Opportunity to ire sumo his possition, it struck him in.ljje stom ach, ’completely tearing out his entreals, pnd of course instantly 1 deptivinghimoi 1 life.— The poor fellow’s merry voice was silenced in-death. . “Within musket range of Captain Drum's battery, a small force of the enemy, perhaps fifty,'occupied a position that enabled them to annoy us’-very much,trad occasionally kill or wdund one of the men stationed at tho guns.

We do not all grow old alike. How is it that some shall dream on and hug their youthful fancies, nor realize that (hoy are growing old, and Ihe |worl<Lpassing..away from lhem, while others Wxtarl.y see life as. it is,, and feel its reality as well as its romance. Yet so it is. There are some minds -so constituted, that it seems as if no reality could make them aught but dreams. To others, the first rude shock they meet while preparing for the battle- of life, seems enough to show them the need of some thing but dreams to benefit the world. For I believe most young people mingle some dreams of good to be done,-with their early aspirations. Though they think of them .oivutf rnamty, 1 Ixjti«vo faiv begin life so sor didly, ns'to ’no desire to benefit others, atf’well as themselves. I have been bringing before’my mind some'of my former friends, frond whom ! am so early separated. Yet I hardly lament’the separation. There is a charm thrown around the name of an’absent friend, that ik not associated with those wo meet doily, and if we feel that we are re membered, if, perchaidce, we may communi cate by letter our thoughts, we need not give way to vain regrets, but in our heart’s holiest remembrance cherish them still, and feel that this is not an eternal separation. Have you ever, with some dear friend, watched the sun set, and asked of each other, when we are grown old shall we watch the sun together, shall- we ever be aught else than we are?
