VICTORY ON TUE Rio Gicorrit..—We publish
to-day, to . the exclusion of'almost every thing else,
every important particular received in reference to
the brilliant victory achieved by the brave TAYLOR,
and his gallant little army, on the Rio Grande.
MiliTatur resolutiorn , adopted
by the of irers of the Fifth Regiment, Fir-t Brigade,
Fifterith Division , Peanzylvania Militia, will op-

The War with Maim,
: There is a dastardly and unpatriotic spirit dis
played by a portion of the press, which deserves
the: highest reprobation. We allude to the con
tinuous, systematic, unappeasable determination to
cast opprobrium upon the war in which we are
engaged .with Mexico, and, by indirection, to dis
courage our young men from taking up arms. -It
is but a revival of the same base means that we're
urged by theprototypes of these prints in the war
of 1812. - The self-same denunciations were then
'us now, heaped_ upon the cause—it was then, as
now, denonuced as an unprovoked and unrighteous
war. -Then the arguments were in favor of Eng
land'S pretensions, as they now are in ' favor of
Mexico. - -Then, as now; the object sought was
to convince our people that they were in the
wrong, and our enemy in the right —to 'detract
from the national glory. and to repress notional
enthusiasm. In all issues and disjunct , that have
arisen between us and foreign nations, this same
bar-eatl bad spirit has; displayed itselL It has
never yet, by any chance, been able to find an in
stance in:Which the American side of the question
was the right one-, , our country has been wrong.
evermore wrong. True, these persons may mea
grely disguise their object by conceding that the
duty of the government: , now that war exists, to
prosecute it vigorously, and that (kir brave volt'''.
teeri,ehould take up arms: But, at the same time,
they use the means most likely to prevent this
consummation, and the speedy peace which a heir
ty and enthusiastic rallying of the American peo
• ple . would ensure and maintain. They indefati
gably seek to impress upon all who think of tak
ing up anus, that the cause in which they are to
engage is unrighteous and bad, and that it should
be visited"with the displeasure of heaven, disaster
and defeat. What more efrectuhl means could
Mcjia indicate to accomplish what he calls -ope
rating against the morals of the enemy. " i . If he
had paid emmisaries among us, they could not bet
ter earn wages, than by doing precisely what these
persons are don*. It can have but one effect—to
weaken and depress our government and people,
and to invite aggression and protract hostilities.
How far are these. gentry now from that "line of
constitutional treason," to which their illustri
ous predecessors of 1812, avowed their intention
to march up, and how much further short of levy
ing war can they go? Do they not abet, justify
and countenance the enemy;—disparage the efforts,
the arms and the cause of the Uniteti
Those who acted thus in Revolutionary times were
toties• and in no _country, we believe, on
e'arth, • except our own, would such conduct be
tolerated. The' great mass of the people, without
distinction of party, ate heartily right and patri
otic; they side with their own country. But there
are rpany partisans among us, whose very instinct ,
are treason, and who are always arra) ed against
their own government, and with its enemies—
English, French, Spanish. Mexicans, the Indians.
or 'whatever they may be.
In connection with the recent,: -'acts of Mexico
which have caused war to exist" berm een her and
the United States, it is now entirely proper to re
mind our readers that the United States has for a
/Ong series of years in terms mild and concilia
tory, been endeavoring to obtain from Mexico a
fair and just remuneration for the "injuries and
wrongs" sustained by our citizens. The injuries
complained of by our go% eminent, and which
were inflicted with the sanction of the Mexican au
thorities consists "of robbing the property of Ameri
can citizens; Cring into their merchant Nes els; im
p:isoning our seamen. Forced to acknowledged her
wrongs to conclude treaties providing for compensa
tion and to come under obligations to pay for index -11,-
01es, Mexico still refuses to pay the instalments as
64. become due; and for the great number of Ca
yet unexamined by any commission she neglects
to make any provision. Against Mexico the Uni
ted States had a black catalogue of robbery, insult
and perfidy, anterior to the Texan controversy.—
On this question arising, she pretends to change
ground, and to assume the otlentiii e: she unques
tionably seizes upon it as a pretext to avoid meet
ing her own solemn obligations. Added to this
are the insulting refusal of our 'minister—thus do
,
th 2 door of negotiation.
We now propose to direct the attention of our
readers to the views of sei eral of our most dis
tinguished statesmen on the subject of Mexican
. outrages. A perusal of the extracts annexed, e
think, ought to satisfy unprejudiced men of all
. parties, that the American government has pursu
ed an exceedingly mild and forbearing course to
- wards Mexico. As we said before, we have those
in our midst who declare that the United States
is in the wrong—that she has trampled upon the
just rights of Mexico. and that she is now engaged
in ah unrighteous and unjest cause. To all such
we would-say read the extracts. John Q. Adams,
in his last message, (1828) refers to her c o me,
and ascribes it, along with that of other republics,
to the dissentions and revolutionary changes at
tending the establishment of a new gosernment.
General Jackson (182‘.9 as mildly says, "it would
he most gratifying to me were I permitted to say
that the treatment we has e received at her hands
has been as universally friendly as the early and
constant solicitude manifested by the U. States
for her success gave _us. a right to expect." Such
mild language .. - s - treatecl with neglect, if not
- with Contempt; it provoked a succession of new
outrages. At length General Jackson, in a special
message, 1837, Feb.l3, states that he has been dis
appointed in not being able to settle the claims on
Mexico, and says=
• "Having in vain urgd,l upon that government
.11exican) the justice'of tho:e claims, and my in
oisputable obligation to insist that there should be
no further delay in the acknowledgement, if not
in the redress of the injuries complained of, my
duty requires that the whole s ubject should be pre
sented, as it now is, for the action of Congress,

outrages upon the property and -persons of our cit

MEMO
_
Substantially- theeiirte;jangnage was uttered by
Mr. Nan.l3llreD in his Message of 1837,1 Such: a
decisive tone waS listened to. A convention was
concluded'in 1.835; Froviding for the settlement of
our claims. Upon a frivolous pretext Mexico re
fused to ratify this convention: negotiations were
renewed, and another convention was signed April
11, 1839, by the representatives of the two powers.
Mexico dallied about ratifying this convention for
a year, until April 8, 1840. This proVided for a
commission to settle all claims against Mexico.—
The history of ,his commission is little else than
that of embarrassments purposely thrown in
the way of adjustment of individual claims by the
Mexican functionaries, .and .in consequence the
time for its continuance expired before alarge ma
jority of the claims could be acted upon. '
So flagrant was this course, that the Secretary of
state,-Daniel Webster, says, in an official documeht.
July 8, 184:2-
-Injuries and wrongs have been sustained by cit
izens of the United States, not inflicted by individ
ual Mexicans, but by the authorities of the govern
ment; for which injuries and wrongs, numerous as
they are, and outrageous ns is the character of some
of them, and acknowledged as they are by Mexico
herself, redresi has been sought only by mild and
peaceable means, and noindemnity asked but such
as the strictest justice imperatively demanded.—
A desire not to disturb the peace and harmony of
the two countries has led the government of the
United States to be content with the lowest meas
ure of remuneration. Mexico herself must admit
that, in all these transactions, the conduct of the
United States towards her has been signalized, not
by the affliction of injuries, but by the manifesta
tion of a friendly feeling and a conciliatory spirit.
Bridge Ut Otitis Ferry.
The Ilarrisborg„correspondent of the Philadel
phia Pennsylvanian, in a letter dated May 23d says
--it gives ins pleasure to inform you that the break
in the Susquehanna Division of the canal at Dun
call's Island, is again repaired. When the present
break occurred, Mr. Burns. the Canal Commission
er, took charge of the work in person, and remain.
ed there day and night; -superintending and work
ing with his own hands; till the breach was repair.
ed. It is something unusual to see a Canal Com
missioner personally at work on the repairs; and it
envinces a degree of energy and fidelity to the in
terests of the Commonwealth worthy of all praise;
and James Bums is entitled, in this instance, to
the thanks of every boatmen and tax payer in the
Commonwealth.
I am happy to say to' you, that it is understood
that 3lcssrs. Foster and Burns—Mr. Hartshorne
being absent—have determined on re-buildiug the
bridge ut C'lark's Ferry, if they have to raise the
money on their own credit. They intend raising
the abutments three feet higher, so as to avoid the
ice-floods. They have not determined whether
they will build a wire or wooden bridge. The ill F
iner will probably cost more, but will be more du
rable and safe from fire. The cost of re-building
will be about $35,000, and will not exceed SIO,-
uou.
The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun in'a letter dated May 23 says: The President
of the IT. S. visited the Fair this rimming. Ile was
escorted by the Mayor. The man and woman
with "three children at a birth - were near the en.
trance. but the President didn't appear to notice
them. Indeed they are not any %ery great curios
ity, for down in Tennessee, they sometimes lime
four at a birth. Mr. Polk seemed very much dis
appointed about something. I hate no doubt he
expected to see the 500 Lowell girls there. Sev
eral of our city ladies looked into the large mir
rors with great complacency, as much as to say•
“Now 1 wonder if I am not prettier than a Lowell
girl?"
The ladies in the corner with the ice creams and
other refreshments, are doing 'a large busine , s. It
it continues so. the Union Benevolent Society - will
have a large addition to its funds.
Early potatoes are selling in our market at flow
$1,73 to two dollars per bushel.
REJECTION /1' Ht.:ICRT HONN.-111C Fenate of
the U. States by a tote yeas 21, nays 25, have
rejected the nomination of Henry Horn as Collec
tor of the Port of Philadelphia.
HOUSE AND SWODD re CAPTAIN W•LKED.—
The sword for the brave Walker. says the N. 0.
Courier, is carried out to Point Isabel in charge of
General P. F. Friiith. A suitable inscription is
cngrmed upon it—and it is accompanied by an ap
propriate letter written by Mr. Bravo, in behalf of
himself and the other citizens at whose cost it
was purchased. The Alabama also took out a no-
ble charger for Captain W., presented to him by
some of our fellow citizens. These testimonials
to the valor and zeal of the gallant Texan arc
highly creditable to New Orleans and they till
not be without good effect in the future.
report was current at New ()deans some
days ago, that the Catholic priest, Mr. Mulli),
had advised his Hock that they should not enlist to
fight against their church in Mexico. The report
drew out a contradiction from the reverend gen
tleman, of ‘tli . ich the fidlowing is the conclusion:
"Some contemptible bigot, Ferchance, whose
brains were as devoid of intellect, as his heart
was distended with malevolence against the reli
gion which I profess, supposed the present u befit
ting moment to stir the smouldering embers of
religious discord. .1 did not notice the slanderous
report, from the conviction that I was too cell
known to those whose good opinion I prize. for
such a stealthy effort at defamation to taint Inc
with suspicion.
Were they the subjects of the Sovereign Pontiff,
whose catholicity is less equivocal than that of the
Mexicans who had dishonored and insulted the flag
of my country, I would be found among the first
to stop the mouths of mendacious croakers, about
an ooltoly war, by dew:toiling prompt and instan
taneous reparation. J. J. MULLON.
Tiny. iT NEW ions.—about 7 o'clock on

From the Washington Union—Extra.
SUNDAY NIGHT., Mer. 24, 1848. ?
8 o'cLocx, S
.
We have received - by the southern mail of this
evening, farther details which leave no doubt that
the accounts we published last night of Gen. Tsi-
LOICS TWO VICTORIES are substantiatlly correct—
We give extracts from the official despatches of
Commodore Conner, showing the gallant and well
judged promptitude with which that excellent of
ficer, in pursuance of his general instructions from
the Navy Department, has brought his valuable
aid to the scene of action. We had not supposed
it probable that his squadron could have been con
centrated there so soon after the Mexican attack
commenced. We regret that the failure of the
greater part of the letter-mail from New Orleans
has prevented the receipt of the official despatches
at the War Department. These we hope to give
to-morrow. It is proper to say that in - making
up our account of the news last night, we had none
of the extras of the New Orleans papers before
us. They did not reach us, and we were forced
to rely on the abridged statements of other journ
als. To-night we supply the deficiency and present
authentic detail of gallantry and glorious success
which will rouse anew the spirit of the country.—
We must defer farther conunent till to-morrow.—
But the intelligence needs not commend it to the
hearts of a patriotic people!
Extract of letters from Commodore CONNER to
the:Secretary of the Nauy, dated
U. S. Ship Cvnshriland,
Off Vera Cruz, May 3, lb
Tho decided tone of the _Manifesto of the Presi
dent of the Mexican republic, connection with
other indications seems to leave no doubt that or-
ders base been given to General Arista to attack
the American army on the 1)el Norte, should a fa-'
s °rabic occasion offer. Under the belief that an
attack is contemplated, I base considered it advi
sable and have determined to sail to-morrow morn
ing for the Brazos Santiago with the Cumberland,
Raritan, Potomac, John Adams, and Somers. The
Falmouth will be left here to protoct our interests
and to watch the course of events. The appearance
of the squadron at that place, with a knowledge
of considerable reinforcement it can afford to our
army, will, I think, cause the Mexican generals
to pause, if not altogether to abandon their design
of attacking General Taylor. All accounts concur
in stating the Mexican army to amount to nearly
eight thousand men. I feel assured the govern
ment has not the means of maintaining ; this force
for any length of time in the field; indeed, there is
not even now, a dollar in the treasury. Hence
delay will either cause the army to disband, or a
nuttier revolution to take place, either of which e
s eats. its is believed, cannot be otherwise than fa
\ orable to the wishes of our government in bringing
about an amicable settlement of our difficulties
with _Mexico. ..The later would undoubtedly con
tribute to that sodas it would place in power
oppose to the policy at pre,..e.nt pur
sued.
Considerable activity has prevailed at this place
enter , my arrival, in improving and strengthening
the defence's of the castle and the town of Vera
Cruz. As far as lam able to ascertain, there arc
now nearly, if nut quite, two hundred guns mount
ed in the castle of San Juan d'tilloa, and as many
as fifty in the two forts and walls of the city com
manding the anchorage. These guns are all new,
and 01 heavy calibre, most of them being thirty.
two pounders, with a number of eight and ten
itich I'aixhan guns. There are said to be nearly
two thousand men in the fortress, and about the
same number iti the tont n.

As stated in my communication of the 3d

will be necessary for this ship, the Potomac, and

131PORTA.NT FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
March of Gearral Taylor from Point Isabel toward
hix ramp opptmite Alutamuras.—Thdile with the
The United State.: schooner Flirt, A. Sinclair,
lieutenant i.onnniuiding, has just arrived from the
Brazos St. •1 ago, which place she lett on the Sthi
instant, (two days after the New York.) bringing
important, though not definite intelligence from the
seat of war.' We learn from her polite intelligent
officers that (_en. Taylor marched from Point Isa
bel on the 7111, at :1 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
Mr his camp. at the head of about two thousand
men, carrying with him a large supply of provis
ions.
The Flirt sailed on the same day at about 3
clock, for New Orleans, and during the whole al
ternoon. the firing of artillery was heard, us was
en posed within eight or nine miles of Point Isa
bel, which continued until the eessel Iva; beyond
hearing distance. During the evening the Flirt
was met by Commodore Conner, with the frigatas
Cumberland, (flag ship,) Raritan, and Potomac.
sl o op John jAdams, and brig Somers; the commo
dore having' heard some rumors at Vera Cruz that
hostilities had commenced on the Rio Grande, and
that Gen. Taylor was in difficulty, he immediate
ly sailed for the Brazos to furnish such aid as was
in his power.
On meeting the Flirt, he requested Lieut. Com
manding, Sinclair to accompany him back to the
Brazos, and bring important dispatches which he
wished to be carried to New Orleans. According
ly, the Flirt was turned about, accompanied the
Squadron back, and remained at the Brazos until
about 1 p. m. the next day, when she again sailed
for New Orleans with the commodore's despatch
es. During the whole of that morning (the Bth)
a heavy cannonading was heard in the direction of
the camp, dud us the sound was gradually becom
ing less distinct up to the time the Flirt left, there
is reason td , heliore that General Taylor was dri
ving the Mexicans before him.
The cannonading was -also heard during the af-
cm, until the Flirt was a considerable dis
t: out at sea. About dark her officers saw
smoke of rather a light color, arising as if-from a
fire about midway between the camp and Point
Isabel; and again, late at night, an immense volume
of densely Wack smoke was seen in the direction
of Matamoras.
What were the causes of these fire is, of course,
matter of conjecture. The first smoke seen it is
deemed poskible arose from the burning of Barite,
a small town on the Mexican side of the Rio
Grande, which it was said Gen. Taylor designed
;ring on his march up to the camp The second
e erally supposed by the officers of the Flirt to
ocep:led from the conflagration of Matamti
laj. Brown, whom Gen. Taylor had left in
and at the camp, had attempted, on the first
day he'wtu3lattaCked; to fire Mataniorie, but failed
as he could! not heat his shot sufficiently. It was
said:that; he contemrditted again :attelpAßg .it,
and it is this that gives ,probabileiltOffiesubposii- •
. 14
Gen. Taylor left Point Isabil ^ fully cOnfident
that he would be able to force lgswayttlthe otunp
in spite of any - oppsition the Mexicanti could make.
The officers and men under his command were in
the very best spirits, and highly elated at the pros
pect of a battle with the enemy. In a conversa
tion with one of the officers of the Flirt, Gen Tay
lor stated that from all the information he could
obtain, the whole Mexican force, on both sides of
the river, did not exceed from 7,000 to 10,000
men.
Nothing further has been heard from the camp
since the departure of the New York. , Gen. Taylor,
however, expressed himself:at all times certain that
Major Broivn, with the five hundred men left un
der his dorninand, would lie able to hold the Mexi
cans at bay, if not repulse them; as the position of
the camp was naturally of defence, and.: no labor
had been spared to fortify its assailable points.
Commodore Conner, immediately. on arriving at
the Brazos, communicated with Gen. Taylor, and
informed him of his readiness to land 1,000 or 2,0 00
men, sailors and marines shoiild they be required.
The St. Mary's was expected soon to join the
squadron at the Brazos.
The friends of Captain Thornton will be gratified
to learn that be is still living. Letters have been
received from him at the camp, announcing that
he had been captured by the enemy, and was held
a prisoner at Matamoras.
A steamer was seen by the Flirt going in the
Brazos, with troops, as she left, which in all pro
bability was the Augusta. The Flirt also saw on
the 12th the James L. Day and the Telegraph,
about 200 miles west or the Belize.
Credible information has been received that the
American Consul, and all the American residents at
Matamoras have been .arrested and sent to
10, a small town about 130 miles back of Matamo-
hi one hour and a half after the arrival of the
gallant Walker, with the intelligence that the Mex
icans had attacked our camp, he again started for
the camp with 73 men,. for what purpose was not
precisely known.

STILL LATER FROM THE ARMY:
The Galveston arrired.--The Galveston is just in.
having left Brazos Santiago on the evening of the
13th. We hasten to lay the news by her before
our readers.
From the Galveston Civilian of the 13th
On the morning of the 13th. Gen. Taylor, and
his stall; with the guard that hail brought down the
train, &c.. started from his camp. He was met by
an express a few miles from Point Isabel, informing
him that 8.000 fresh troops had just arrived in Mat
auroras, 2,000 of which had crossed the Rio Grande
at Barrita, near the Bocaehica, not more than S
miles from Point Isabel. Gen. Taylor returned to
Point Isabel at once, and made preparations to
leave the next day with such forces as were arri
ving. The steamship Gals extort landed 430 infant
ry, (regulars and volunteers:) the Augusta landed
about 2:iit; Capt. Price arrived via Padre Island
from Corpus Christi, with all mounted rangers,r--
They all reached the point on the 13th. The Tel
egraph and James L. Day will doubtless land their
troops, amounting to upwards of 800, at Point Isa
bel on the 11th. Great credit is due to Capt. Jer
emiah Smith of the steamship Cincinnati, and
Capt. R. M. Baker, of the Monmouth, fOr the skill,
energy, and promptness, shown in management of
their boats in transporting troops and supplies a
cross the bay at Brazos Santiago.
Geu. Paredes is at the head of 15,000 troops, on
his way to Matamoras. It may possibly be that
the fresh troops arrived at Matamoras, is the ad
vance division of his army. No doubt the enemy
were fully advised that General Taylor had left for
Point Isabel, and their plan is to try and capture
him on his return, whilst a strong force crossing
above, is to come down upon his army. General
Taylor appeared highly pleased with the intelli
gence; for since the war has opened, and no mis
take, the excitement and activity attending opera
tions, opens a new era to hiS vigorous achieve
ments, and all have marked how much better he
looks than when confined to the "masterly inactiv
ity" of the Corpus Christi campOign.
TIIE EOM
The Mexicans have continued their firing into
the fort opposite Matamoris, nearly e‘er since Gen
eral Taylor left the works.
The brave and gallant Major Brown Died on —.
from a wound received in his thigh by the explo
sion of one of the enemy's shells. His wound
was not considered dangerous, but as he was placed
in one of the bombproof - burrows, mortification en
sued, from the want of fresh air. His death is
deeply deplored by the army; his intrepid conduct
in foiling every attempt of the enemy to reduce
the fort. prepared them in a measure to anticipate
the result of these conflicts with our brave army.
The strength of the tort and skill with which it is
defeded, is incomprehensible to the Mexicans; and
indeed, well it might be, for they haie thrown up
wards of 1,400 shut and shell into the works and
every morning they present the same appearance;
our loss has only been two or three in the fort.—
The constant practice the enemy have had in
firing at it, has taught them the proper hearing to
give to their guns, and almost every shot falls with
in the works. The fort is serer idle, and the ram
parts and dwellings of Matamoras exhibit ruins as
plainly as those of a hundred centuries when gap
ing forth their lamentation of lot and behold what
desolation is here!
The slonp-of-war St. Mary's arrived ftom Pensa
cola on the 10th; the steamer :Mississippi on the
.I . !th, from Vera Cruz. The Bainbridge is off the
Rio Grande, enforcing the blockade. The schooner
Flirt Sailed fur New Orleans on the i th.
It is stated that an expedition is to be sent by
boats of the squadron to take the town of Barite,
ttl miles from the mouth of the ricer, where there
is a military force.
Gen. Vega, is the Col. Vega that was captured
by the Texan forces at the slaughter of San Jacin
to. He was also at the fall of the Alamo, aid is
a brave and accomplyhed officer.
An Extra from the office of the N. 0. Tropic
also contains the follos ing additional items of in
telligence:
As soon as Gen. Arista arivcd in Matamoras, he
sent at once a flag to exchange sash prisoners as
he had in Matamoros. lie showed great anxiety to
get back Gen. Veja, offering to exchange two or
three officers for him; but Gem Taylor had sufficient
to make the exchange without giving up Gen. Ve
ja. It has been said that Gen. Taylor offered the
latter his parole of honor, which he declined ac
cepting, on the ground, that if lie returned, he would
be forced to bear arms again by his Government.
The redoubtable hero Gen. Ampudia, command
ed the 2nd Division of the Mexican army. It is
said he was the first man to make good his escape
to Matamoros, where he reported that Arista had
betrayed the army.
Capt. Amos came up as an especial express
With despatches from Com. Connor.
: Gen. Arista commanded the Mexican army, and
was present at the battle.
Seventeen hundred Mexican troops, who had
crossed the Rio Grand at Bareta, below Matamo
ras, upon hearing of the defeat of their main ar
my by Gen. Taylor, precipitately recrossed the
river.
The Galveston brought up three of the field pie
ces captured by Gen. Taylor.
• From the Austin Democrat of the 6th instant,
we learn that Gov. Henderson, under instructions
from Gen. Taylor, has made a requisition upon
the militia of the State for several companies of
mounted men, in addition to the forces before call
ed, into the-field to operate against Mexico. These
troops, constituting a regiment, are to be station
ed as follows:
Five companies in the vicinity of San Antonio;
one at the city of Austin„ one at or near New
Bountets.
The last Austin Democrat states that news has
reached Austin, from good authority, that the Co
manches refuse to treat with or meet the Uni
ted States Commisioners. and the inference is
that these Indians have been tampered with by
Mexican emissaries. The Governor; at the re
quest of the Legislature, was to appoint Commis
sioners to ascertain the situation and disposition of
the Indians; while further steps were to be taken
to protect the frontier - settlements from their depre
dations, should they-be - disposed to actsof hostility.
The New Orleans Bee states that some of the
knapsaeks of those killed were examined rind found
to contain riothing but corn and salt. -
