height of Ell Penon, which is astro ag position and
excessively, fortified. .’ Before < leaving Puebla it
had been considered whether the’ main road could
not be avoided, and-EU Penon tunied t by passing
rouod to the iwuth nnd left of Lakcs jCeahiO and
JocCmilco. The engineer officer. • serving itnme
dlalely. gooiaal head quarters, hod quewoaed a
large number of person*, (including spies and a*
gents sentespecially. to'examine the route.) and
the mas* of testimony was entire to tlic boggy,
mucky* and perfectly impracticable character - for
; wagon* and artillery of tire road leading in that di
rection. .It wd* therefore in contemplation td turn
1 E 3 Penoa, by forcing the enemy’* lines at McxicsK,
altboughthe ground*’ wot difficult;!and the !
i batteries known to. bo numerous- This route. you |
' will 6hserve r Uto the north' ami right of.thowt
| Itkes.—The reconnoisanccs of the engineers’ were' ;
i coniiequehtJyjdirected .to this end© In the mean
j tine, Gen. wbrtb,whose division had been left at 1
I Chaloo .(while Gen. Scott, with Twiggs’ .division
l had gone on4o fAyolla,) sent Col Duncan; with a 1
I strong party,"to examine ihedunotinevil rotue--Col.*
D. found it just the reverse of ..what it hud • been
rironoimcedtobe;—it wps firm, rocky.and quite
practicable, requiring, to b a sure, a liulo labor here
and there.-Gen. Worth. iustnntly sent CoL Dun
can with this informtftion to Gen. Scott, and urged
the movement of/the whole army to the left of
j.,tr.» Chided *'• This recommendation instantly pre
vailed'.’ The direct attack was abandoned, ondthe
next morning the whole army wu* m':molUm,
Worth's division] in ilie rear, (now! by the change
of the line'of operation become the. front.) took the
lead,-and the wbol e mass filed to the left of the
lake to Sen Agustin, which is on the great Aca
pulco highway to the city of. Mexico, and about
nine mile* from ft: This is the history of the strat
egy of the business .i
we arrived at San Augustin on tho evening of
tlie 17tb, The first position! of the enemy was at
Son. Antonio, 21 miles off In advance. General
Worth sent an engineer officer-the next morning
to reconnoitre. Capt Thobiton of the Dragoons,
escorting him. He went to about 1000. yards of
the enemy's battery leaving the company some
hundred yards in the rear.] When the - engineer
officer began to exdmiiio the battery with his spy
glass, a gun was fired at him. The ball passing
over him, struck Capt. .Thornton ; from bis horse,
tearing kway his whole breast and . ribv Poor
fellow! ho .had not ten day* to live: be was so fee
that be could scarcely sit in liis; saddle. Physi
cians and friends had remonstrated against his go
ing out; but he had, I doubt mot, made up lus mfud
that nothing bat death .itself should take him from
his saddle. He had been troubled aud pestered in
many ways, but he was a*4 purr ind honorable a
man as ever lived. This ’ recoanpisance" resulted
in the intelligence that the position of San Antonio
could be turned by its right, our left. Another re
connoisaoce wns directed by Gen. Scott, to ascer
tain whether, by branching off oh sfeu Augusti n*?
and tshjng a wider circuit to our left, we coul.l not
gain the Tacubnya rood and turn all the,enemy s
vorks. The engineer officer went about a league
on this road, where he caine upon a ravine occu
pied by the eriemyin force on flio opposite side.

what in 'advance of it, is i» strong mono church,
.with field work in front. [The;flanks of the .field

enclosed the chnreh.—To the rear of {he church
and bridge bead there is a deep wet ditch, running
perpendicularly to the road, and extending far off
to tne enemy's left, and .therefore, parallel to our
front behind this ditch was an infantry line,
from, right to. left; quite, a mile long.
When Worth's division came; within reach of tl«e

liams, mnn.-urimr director of the Dublin and Liver
|K«>l Steam Navigation Company, was the first per*
vm who invest orated thesuhjt'c.lof ihd prevention
j.f wnokc in u truly philosophical mnnner. He liad
also the merit of constructing- many, ftinmcer. loth
fir land and rtmririo steam engines, which tbor*
; uiizhly prevent the production .of Smoke, wjtli a
greater or Icm savmg of fuel, according to the care
ot* the stoker. Ho olrtaim-d a patent nr his inven
tion in IS4U- lleonaift* of the introduction of v a
proper r K tiaiiUty of ntinosphcric air to tlie, bridgi>
and llanebed* of tho t'nrancci, through a great
number it' muuU orifices, connected with a com
mon |dpc or canal,- wliose area’ can l«e Increased
or diminished, according ns tint ..a'rcum>tanei:a of
complete combustion inny reunite, by means of
an external valve. The operation of air thus en
tering in small jets into tin* balfbutned hydro-car
biiretted gases over the tires and in the ttuca ia
their oxopenation, the developemenl of all the heat
which that can produce, aud the entire nreven
tion of smoke.. One of the numerous method* in
which Mr. Williams has applied his principle is
represented hv Ire. and it is from thw cut that
Blackstonc, Dell, ic Co. take- tho contrivance,
knowing that it had been used iu Scotland entirely
successfully, with coal precisely similar to that of
Pittsburgh, they entertained no doubt of succeed
ing. They expected .to save 20 per cent, of fuel,
and it is stated in. the Pittsburgh paper that the
saving proves greater, namely, 25 per cent •It
has been demonstrated by accurate experinienta
nl Manchester, England, that ;20 per cent, more
heat could lie easily obtained by Mr. Williams’s,
invention ihau by the old furnace. The contri
vance is very cheap and simple, and eyCry coat
furnactfihoiild be provided with it.: We mist that
the Louisville manufacturers .will .examine tlie
subject-in lire’* supplement 'without delay. There
is no doubt whatever of the. entire success of the
upplicntiomhcre with any of. the coal here used.—
