ing to the late. heavy rains above, there was a rise
in the Allegheny river yesterday afternoon of be
tween five and six feet The destruction of prop
erty is said to have been greater than has ever be
fore.been experienced on this river. A large num
ber of rafts broke loose from their moorings and
xvere swept away. The amount of loss sustained,
we have not as yet, been able to learn.
During the afternoon a great number of persons
were engaged in catching drift, and , we regret to
state that three lads; thus employed; whose names
we could not learn, were drowned above the upper
bridge.

we noticed on Tuesday, took place before his Hon

his being comtirittel for trial, for the robbery at
the Citizen's lintel. The letters which we stated
-were found uPtm his person, are supposed to have

Chronic Rheumatism, Glandular Swellings, Sore

THE citizens of Pittsburgh continue to be offered
an opportunity to effect • insurance upon their
property, by a Domestic institution located among
themselves, based upon domestic capital, and con
ducted by directors, in whose prudence, integrity and
good faith they can readily ascertain whether they
may repose that undoubted security which should
ever attend an assurance transaction.
To persons whose property has already been dam
aged or destroyed by fire or water, the advantage of
personally adjusting the loss with an institution AT
HOME, will be strikingly evident. To those who suffer
ed by the Great Fire, this particular corporation needs
no recommendation. The prompt payment of the
whole amount of its lOSSCSS—NEARLY TWO HUNDRED
Trimurti:, raux.sas--is to them a sufficient guarantee
of future security.
It is the part of all prudent men, however fortu
nate, to anticipate calamity for the purpose of avoid
ing its effects. To such as have hitherto escaped, as
well as to those who have sustained loss, the facility
of protection and indemnity, offered by this institu
tion, will be the strongest inducement to avoid the
reflections' and regrets which mustbe experienced
by those who suffer without hope of restitution.

Point Isabel, Texas, May 7, 1846.
Sia:—l respectfully report that I shall march
this day With the main body of the army, to open
a communication with Major Brown, and throw
forward supplies of ordnance and provisions. If
the enemy oppose my march, in whatever force I
shall fight him. Occasional guns are heard in the
direction:of Matamoras, showing that everything
is right in that quarter.
Yesterday the recruits under Lieutenant Mc-
Phail arrived here. After tilling up the companies
of the permanent garrison, (A Ist arty. and G.
4th arty.) the remainder of the detachment, with
its otheeN., was placed under Major Munroes or
ders to assist in the defence of the depot. The
men are yet raw to take the field. though efficient
for garrison defence. They trill be permanently
assigned as soon as practicable.
The foilr companies of the Ist infantry.are hour
ly expected, and will be a seasonable reinforce
ment. The firstshipmeot of volunteers from New
Orleans may also soon be looked for. Their arri
val will enable me to open the river and free our
communications.
I am, sir, very nispectfully, your obedient 'i.er

have the honor to report that I was met
uearthis place yesterday, on my march from Point
Isabel, by the Mexican forces, and alter an action
of about five hours, dislodged them from their po
sition, and encamped upon the field. Our artille
ry, consi'sting of two 1 fl-pounders and two light
batteries ; was the arm chiefly engaged, and to the
excellent manner in which it was manoeuvered
and semdd is our success mainly due.
The strength of the enemy is believed to bare
been abo4rt six thousand men, with 7 piecesof ar
9nd eight hundred cavalry. His loss is
probably at least one hundred killed. Our strength
did not 'tweed all told twenty-three hundred, while
our loss was comparatively trifling—four men
killed, three officers and thirty-seven men wound
ed, several of the latter mortally. I regret to say
that Major Ringgold, 3d artillery, and Captain
Page, 4th infantry. are severely wounded. Lieut.
Luther. artillerv, slightly so.
The enemy has fallen back, and it is believed
has reposed the river. I have advanced parties
now thrown fori.vard in his direction, and shall
move the main body immediately.
In the haste of this first report. I can only say
that the officers and men behaved in the most ad
mirable manner throughout the actior. I shall
have the pleasure of making a more detailed re
port when those of the different commanders shall
be received.

on ., now encamped, m y a d vanc e discovered that, a
ravine crossing the road had been occupied by the
enemy with artillery. I immediately ordered' a
battery of field artillery to sweep the positieM,
flanking told sustaining it by the 3d, 4th and sth
regiments, deployed as skirmishers to the right and
left. A heavy fire of artillery and of musket!) ,
was kept up for some time. until finally the ene
my's batteries were carried in succession by a
squadron of dragoons and the regiments of intently
that were on the ground. He was soon driven
from his position. and pursued by a squadron of
dragoons. battalion of artillery, and the .M infantry,
and a light battery. to the river. Our victory has
been complete. Eight pieces of artillery, with a
great quantity of ammunition, three standards, and
some one hundred prisoners have been taken;
among the latter, General La Vega and several
other officers. One General is understood to have
been killed. The enemy has re-crossed the river,
, and I am sure will not again molest us on this
bank.
The loss of the enemy in killed has been most
severe. Our own has been very heavy, and I deep
lv regret to report that Lieut. Inge. 2d dragoons,
Lieut. Cochrane, 4th infantry. and Lieut. Chad
',mune_ Bth infantry, were killed on the field.—
Lieut. Col. Payne,dth artillery, Liens Col. Mcln
tosh, Lieut. Dobbins, 3d infantry, Capt. Hooe and
Lieut. Fowler, sth infantry, and Capt. Mont
gomery, Lieuts. Gates, Selden, McClay, Burbank!
and Jordan. Bth infantry, were wounded. The ex
tent of our loss in-killed and wounded is not yet
ascertained, and is reserved for a more detailed
report.
- The affair of to-day may be regarded as a prop
er supplement to the cannonade of yesterday; and
the two taken together, exhibit the coolness and
gallantry of our officers and men in the most fa
vorable light. All have done their duty, and done
it nobly. It will be my pride, in a more circum
stantial report of both actions, to dwell upon par
ticular instances of individual distinction.
It affords me peculiar pleasure to report that the
field work opposite Matamoras has sustained
itself handsomely during a cannonade and bom
bardment of 1(10 hours. But the pleasure is al
loyed with profound regret at the loss of its hero
ic and indomitable commander, Major Brown, who
died today from the effect of a shell. His loss
would be a severe one to the service at any time,
but to : the army under my oders, it is indeed irre
parable. One officer and one non-commissioned
officer, killed and ten men wounded, comprise all
the casualties incident to this severe bombardment.

army under his command upon the signal success
which, has crowned its recent operations against
the enemy. The coolness and steadiness of the
troops, during the action of the Bth, and the bril
liant impetuosity with which the enemya position
and artillery were carried on the 9th, have display
ed the, best qualities of the American soldier. To
every 'officer and soldier of his command, the gen
eral piiblicly returns his thanks for the noble man
er in which they have sustained the honer of the
service and of the country. While the main body
of the, army has been thus actively employed, the

JAY NE'S EXPECTORANT.
THIS medicine has alrea l clyiroved itself to be all
that it has been recoinniended, by those who'
have given it a fair test in this country, and the
demand for it increases daily. We hate just heard
of an important cure of Asthma, which has been
etrected by the use of it b a neighboring town—
the ease was that of a female who had for a long
time been under the care °fa physician, but, had
received no relief, and her case was considered
hopeless. As a last resort she purchased a bottle
of Or. Jayne's Expettorant, %which caused her to
expectorate freely, gradually eased her cough, and
rapidly restored her to health. We have no liesita
tion in saying that this preparation of Dr. Jayne,
for the Cute of Coughs, Crilds, Influenza, Asthma.
Consumptions, &c, is themost valuable mediciur
ever uttered to the American public. There is no
quackery,, about it—Dr. Jayne is one of the most

Is looked upon as a great public benefactor.—

ALTERATI E,—W e have been informed by
Mrs Mahan, a grand-daughter of old Den. Wayne.
that she suffered fpr a number of tears from the
growth of a large goitrous tumor of the throat, which
besides the deformity, produced both - a difficulty of
dcglution and of breathing. Indeed, she says, the
pressure upon the windpipe was so great as to pre
vent her from sleeping in a recumbent position,
and often suffocation appeared inevitable. .ha also
labored tinder se% ere indisposition from Liver Com
plaint and Jaundice, for which she commenced the
me of Dr. Jaynes Alterdtive, which she took for
six or seven weeks, and her general health was
completely re-established by it, and perceiving
some diminution in the size of the Goitrous Tumor,
she was encouraged to persevere in the use of the
Alterative until every vestage of the painful Tumor
was entirely removed.

INStirMICE PrItSPIXATION3..It is the great [Tat
the -impurities of the: body. It - will be
noticed that a thick cloudy-mist issues trom all points
of the mirface, which indicates that this perspiration
flows uninterruptedly when we are in health, but
ceases. , vrhert we are sick. Life cannot be sustained
without it. It is thrown off from the blood and other
juices of the body, and diaposes by this means, of
nearly all the impurities within us: The language of
Scripture is "in the Blood is the Life." If it ever be.
comes impure, it may be traced directly to the stop=
page of the in.sensildeperspiration. :Thal we see, all
that is necessary when the blood is stagnant, or in
, fected,,is to open the pares, and it relieves itself from
all impurity instantly. Its own heat and vitality are
sufficient, without one particle of medicine; except
to open the pores upon the surface. Thus we see
the tblly of taking so much internal remedios. All
practioners, however, direct, their efforts to restore
the Insgasible Perspiration. The Thompsonian, for
instance, steams, the Hydropathist shrouds us in wet
blankets, the Hoinopathist deals out intinitissimala,
the Allopathist bleeds and doses, us with mercury,
and the blustering quack gorges us' with pills, pills,
pills. ,
To give mime idea of the amount of tha Insensi
ble Perspiration, WC will state that the. learned Dr.
Lewenhock; ascertained that five-tights of all we re
ceive into the stomach, passed off by this means. -la
other words, if 'we eat and drink eight pounds per
day, we evacuate live pounds of it by the Insensible
Perspiration.
This:is none other than the used up particles of
the blood, and ther juices giving Place to the new
and fresh ones. To check this, therefore, is to re
tain in the System five-eights of all the virulent matter
that nature demands should lease the body.
By a 'sudden transition front heat to cold, the pores
are stopped, the perspiration ceases, and diseaste.be
gins a $ once to develope itself.- Hence, a stoppage of
this flow of the juices, originatesi so many com
plaints;
It is bv stopping the pores, that. eiverwlialms man
kind with coughs, colds, and conkuniption. Nine
tenths of the world die iron, diseases induced by a
stoppage of the Insensible Perspiration. _
Let me ask, now, every" candid mind, what coarse
seems , the most reasonable to pars e, to unstop the
pores, after they are closed. Would you give physic,
to olvo'op the pores? Or would youlapply soinething
that would do this upon the surface; where the clog

voice—one mulled and universal voice—saying "Mc-
Allister, your Ointment is good.
CONSUMPTION.—It can hardly be credited that a
salve can have any effect upon the lungs, seated as
they are within' the system. But if l placcd upon the
chest, it penetrates directly to the lungs, seperates
the poisonous particles that are consuming them,
and expels them from the system.
I need not say that it is curing persons of consump
tion coittinnally, although we areltold it is foolish

several thousand persons yearly.

PIMPLES ON THE FACE—M4culine Skin gross

will not cease drawing till the face is free from any
matter that may be lodged under the skin, and fre
quently breaking out to the surface. It then heals.
When there is nothing but grossness, or dull repul
sive surthce, it begins to soften and f soften until the
skin becomes as smooth and delicate as a:childs.

to parents that this Salve will al w ays tell if a child

There is probably no medicine on the face of the
earth at once so sure and so safe in the expulsion of

OLD SORES.—That some Sores arc au outlet to
the impurities of the system, is, because they cannot
pass off through the natural channels of the Insensi
ble Perspiration. If such sores. 'are healed up the
impurities must have some other outlet, or it will en
danger life. This salse will always provide for
such emergencies.
RHEUMATISM.—It removes -4most immediately
the inflammation and swelling, when the pain of
Course ceases.
FEVERS.—In all cases of feven p the difficulty lies
[ in the pores being locked up, to that the heat and
perspiration cannot pats off. If the leak moisture
could be started the crisis has pasaed and the danger
over. The All-Healing Ointment' Will in all cases of
fevers almost instantly unlock the
i kin and bring forth
the perspiration.
SCALD HEAD.—We have cured cases that actu
ally defied every thing known, nal well as the ability
of fifteen or twenty doctors. One man told - us he
had spent $5OO on his children without any- benefit,
when a few boxes of the ointmeneured - them.
CORNS.—Occasional rise of th Ointment will al
ways keep corns from groWing. People need never
be troubled with them' if they will' use it;
