LAST ?ROM THE ARMY Or OCCUPATION.—Tbe
Journal of Commerce. of Thursday morning, contains
the following extract of a lettecfrom an officer of the
U. S. army, which appears to be one day later than
the accounts by the New Orleans papers.
Brazos de Santiago, April 14, 184 G.
By the date of my letter you will see that xe are
'in Mexico, or within a few miles of it, the main body
of the U. 8; army being ercumped 28 miles above us,
opposite Matamoros, within 200 yards of the walls;
and we are expecting to have a fight every hour. The
Mexicans have formally declared war yesterday, eve
ery man at ibis place is furnished with arms and we
are expecting to be attacked here . at the same time
Gen. Taylor is attacked above, being the depot fur
the whole supplies of the army. Col. Cross, deputy
quarter master general, having ridden a little too far
out from the camp, was taken prisoner by the Mexi
cans, and is now- in Metamoras. Our at my number.
about 3000; the Mexicans 7000; barge adds, and I
should not be surprised if we get licked. The steam•
er Harney leaves here in the morning as an express
to N. Orleans for reinforcements.
P. S. April 15 —The Mexicana have made a lit
tle move; but of no importance.
rEtoTECTION or OltEGoN.—The Washington Union,
in an article in relation:to the bill for the inotectiOn of
the sealers in Oregon, which has passed the House,
remark+,
The second great branch of the executive policy in
relution to Oregon is the protection of our citizens
there, and has yet to receive the definitive sanction
of Congress. It yields in importantanre onlv—if, in
tact, it does no yield— tn question of notice which has
preceded it. This brunch of the policy urged by the
President looks to the full and efficient protection of
all our rights and interests in Oregon, pending the
convention and after its termination. It look; to
the reception of our citizens in Oregon into the full
brotherhood of our equal laws—to their protectio n
against all foreign force, whether savage or civilized,
.and against anarchy and civil dissensions among them
selves. It looks, too, to • the due encouragement of
emigration to that region, and to the cultivation of
intercourse and of sympathy with those who muy emi
grate.
These are noble objects. They fill the mind. They
warm the heart. They embrace the welfure and the
destiny of a great region of country. They comprise
ourduty to the men of our own blond, who, in the face
of all privations and dangers, are pleating our lineage,
our language, and our civilization on the shores of
our great western sea. If we do this duty as it should
be done, its fruits will surely come back to us a
' thousand fold in augmented national power, in io
, creased national resources, in the mighty expansion
of our national system, in the heartfelt and patriotic
gratitude of a growingpopulation, whom we shall have
called into safe and established civil life, and whom
we shall have bOund to ourselvesforever, as with links
of iron, by that friendship—the best of all friendships
Z; which comes in the hour of need. And this is our
great encouragement to be true to our countrymen of
Oregon—that in so doing, we shall be true to our duty
and to ourselves. If, in so great a matter, we have in
times pest procrastinated, let us procrastinate no
more, Now is the golden hour; let it pass,- and no'
man can say what new difficulties the future may
brine forth. Suawhat promptness of action has done'
for us in Texas! Let us learn from this, what promp
titude. and the harmony .of counsel which brings
promptitude, will do for us in Oregon.

tri' Just read how they talk about railroads in Cin
Little Miami Rail Road.—We have always pre
dicted the most brilliant saccess for this road, and we
are happy to see that it is approaching rupiah, to corn
pletion, with results, as to ;business and profits which
already show that it will realize the most sanguine ex.
pectations of its friends. The road is now in operation
to Xenia, only 62 miles, and the receipts for the last
four months, for freight and passengers, including the
transportation of the mail, have been as follows:
Receipts in December, $8,008,28
January. 8,624,02
February, 7 921,49
March, 8,882,71
$33 586.58
These receipts, it will be perceived, are at the rate
of one hundred thousand dollars per year—and the ex
pectation is that they will be doubled when the road shall
be finished to Springfield, which will be in the course
of thin year. The road will have cost then, with the
machinery and furniture ow it, about a million of dol.
lamer less than twelve thousand dollars per mile.
When it reaches Springfield, it will have pecetrated
to the centre of one of tbo richest countries in this
State, the great wheat, corn, and pork region, and
will also intersect the National Road one of the great
lines of the sninmer land travel. Some of the largest
and finest flour mills in Ohio, are situated around
Springfield; and the number of these, as well as of the
wheat raised, will he greatly increased, by the ma
king of this road. There is no risk therefore, in say
ng that the business of the Rail Road will be doubled,
after it reaches Springfield
This road passes within 15 toilet of Dayton. Will
not that connection be made? Unquestionably it
must. One half the stock will be taken by the persons
interested in the Little Miami Rail road, if the Dayton
people will make the remainder—the charter being
already obtained. This will bring a great deal of bu
siness.
And. how long will it be before branches will be
made through Clinton, Highlind, and Ross counties to
Chilicothe? Not long. Those are very productive
counties, and they v ill not be satisfied until the way to
Cincinnati is open to them. The people have only to
will ii. That branch will unit'o with the Little Miami
Rail road, at Todd's Fork, 40 miles from Cincinnati.
The Rail Road from Xenia:to Columirus, is under
contract, and we understand mOgressing rapidly. Tho
distance is a little over 40 Miles, of which 32 miles
run on a direct line, without a curve and without
grading.
The Mad River Rail Road, from Springfield to
Sandusky is proceeding'rapidly to completion. The
distance is 134 miles. Part or this road, at the north.
ern end. is traveled—including which the grade is
done to Urbana 120 miles, and;the remaining 11 miles
is more than half done. It will be ready for the iron
to Beilefontaine, 10S miles from Sandusky, by the
16th of July next—and if the autumn be favorable,
we hope to have the whole line from Cincinnati to
Sandusky. open for travel next winter.
This road is very straight, and runs over a level
country. There are but three bridges in the whole
line. The coat of the road, with The furniture on it,
will not exceed nine thousand dollars par mile.

TUB CITY MP MATAMOII4B.I—As this is the an: icipu
ted batik ground, opposite ;which Gen Taylor i 4
encamped, the following desorption of the city from
a correspondent of the New York Tribune may prove
ME=
Matamoros is an old Spanish city containing about
7000 inhabitants, and is beaatifully nituated on the
southern bank of the Rio Grande, within its folds, so
that its front and rear are both on the liver. Seen
from the Atnet ican side, it hits every appearance of
being an American town. The streets intersect each
other at right angles. and appear to be lined with many
varieties of shade trees, which give the town an air of
coolness and render its appearance very inviting.—
Many of the buildings are built of brick. and in the
modern styleof architectute. The Cathedral, market,
and buildings occupied by the military, are among the
finest. The dwellings of the poorer daises are con
structed with canes, brush, mudiand the like materials,
and are essentially Mexican. The town formerly con-
rained double its present ntimber of inhabitants, end
was a place of some importance. This rapid decline
is owing to their internal come-lotions and the growing
indolence of the people. The citizens are all under
the rule of the military, and are obliged to provide fur
them. The military is sum eme i and the orders of their
General (Meji) aro law.
The city I•qqs several fortifications. armed with guns
of different =Ohms, and a force of 5 or 600 mo n i s
kept in them notiqantly. Since our arrival they have
increased their force to nearly 3000 men, and have
been.working night and day upon the defences of the
place. They have thrown up several batteries which
bear upon ourcamp, and wo are quietly waiting for
them .to give us a ball. Should they favor us, we
shall return the compliment with a aeries of them, for
the . Spanish ore very particular in 'matters of etiquette.
Our camp is directly opposite the town, and 800 yards
from their batteries. We are engaged in throwing up,
a field work, constructing gun batteries, end taking
such precaution es are neoessaryjto enable us to main-.
Jain our position. This seems Important, since our
intolcour ! se with them is entirely prohibited ny the .
Mexican authorities, and their attitude is decidedly.
hostile.

The sun had scarcely set when tho numerous herds

by a wall of stones and plaster, between eight and nine

Ten or fifteen victims would seldom satisfy him;

ALLIGATOR OIL. -A letter from St Augustine,
dated April 121 h, set's:
"I suppose you may not have heard that we have
discovered the utility of alligators. An Alligator is
found to be as valuable in his way as a spermaceti
whala. An expedition has left this place : for the
river of St John's, and the dark tributary stream of
Black Cteek,swarming with these hideous creatures,
with the view of killing them to obtain their oil."
"The oil of the alligator is said to be better for
lamps than even whale oil, and it is extracted from the
animal in considerable quantity and without any great
difficulty. Fur this discovery we are indebted to the
Indians, who have been in the habit, fir how:long
time I know not, of extracting the oil of the Alligator
and using it fur vat ious purposes. It makes a tine
transparent fluid and burns admirably."

THE Citizens of Pittsburgh continue to ba offerd
an opportunity to effect insurance upon theirprop='
erty, by a Doinestic Institutioni located among them. ' _
selves, based upon Domestic Capiy, and conducted
by Directors, in whose prudence, integrity.: and good - .
faith; .hey can readily ascertain, whether they may
repose that undoubted confidence and security, which:
should ever attend an insurance transaction.
To persons whose property has, already, been
damased, or destroyed, by Fire or Water, the advsn
tage of personally adjusting aloss with an institution.
AT HOME, will be strikingly evident. To those who
suffered by the Great Fire, this particular corporation'
needs no recommendation. The prompt payment or
the whole amount of its Iosses—NEARLY I'Wo Hen).
NND THOUSAND DOLLARS-i 5 tO them a Sufficient
guarantee of future Security.
It is the part of all prudent men, boweverfortunate,
to 'anticipate calamity for the purpose of avoiding its
effects. To such as have hitherto escaped, as well as
:to those who have sustained loss, the facility of pro=
Item inn and indemnity, offeted by this institution,- will
be the strongest inducernent to avoid' the reflections, -
!and regrets which must be experienced by those who
'suffer without hope of restitution.
