PITTSBURGH, TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 1846, FOR CANAL C'OIIMISSIONER, WILLIAM B• FOSTER, Jr., Of nadDFOAD coyrrTY Pittsburgh- and Comlilac Rail Baal. Iron Strom gips. Mr. piing: Chairman of the Committee on Naval affairs in th4q - louse of Representatives, some time since presented avery interesting report, in which the construction of twelve iron war steamers was warmly recommended. We believe it is now con ceded, on all hands, that there exists actual neces sity for an increase of our Navy, and vessels of the description recommended by the committee, we doubt not, would be found more useful and dura ble than any other that could be constructed_ The committee, however , we are well assured, will find it impossible to give a yessel of twelve hundred tons burthen, with protellers secured from shot, a speed of fifteen miles per 'hour unaided by either wind or tide, and we trust that the committee in the matter of speed as well as the size of the ves sels will so modify their views as to make the project entirely practicable. Ten miles per hour, we think, quite sufficient speed for a war steamer. The great matter, we opine, should be to so con strict the propelling machinery as to make, it per fectly secure from an enemy's shot; iron steamers, that can run ten miles per hour driven by propel lers alone, will, we doubt not, be found abundantly efficient, especially in the Gulf of Mexico. The committee should carefully investigate a few oth er importani considerations connected with the construction of iron steamers. Iron steamers of over one thotisand tons burthen,can be so construc ted, we believe, as notto require more than four teen ft. water; all such, vessels, of course, could at all seasons of the year, with safety pass the bar at the mouth of the Mississippi, and reach New Or leans or any other fuel Depot near the Gulf of Mexico. The fact that Coal of a superior quality for steamers can be furnished at any port near the Gulf for about one half the cost it can be afforded at any eastern port, should certainly not be with 'out influence with Congress. This subject is one of great importance, to the people of the whole Mississippi valley, and we hope they will speak out in defence of their inter- cuts. At no point in the world, we presume, can iron steamers be better constructed or on more fa. vocable terms than at Pittsburgh. We have ma- az?The following is said to be a correct state mont of the whole naval forci in the Gulf CUBS. Three Frigates Three Sloops,. One Steamer, .. One Steamer, .. Three brigs, ..

Few the Morning Post JErranson Towarsate, June Li, 1546. Mr Enrrotr.—l see by the papers of your city, that the brilliant and accomplished John S Wilson is now before the public, and solicits their votes to elevate him to a seat in the Pennsylvania Legis lattice. To the people of this township, and to all who are acquainted with him, it is a matter of surprise that he should be nominated by a conven tion -representing a party that claims all the tal ent, "- for it is welt known- that he is destitute of judgement and education and lacks the first requi site of a Legislator--coninion sense. Let a simple fact prove this assertion. Considering 'the honest and industrious farmers of old Jefferson unfit to be his associates he took up his residence in your city, commenced the study of the law, avoided his for. mer friends and patronized the most fashionable tailors and barbers, in order that he might qualify himself to move in what is termed "genteel society." - _ I perceive by the Post that he is a good dancer, and bids fair to make an excellent violinist, it is also said that he appears in public "perfumedlike a miliner,'' and is greatly admired by the ladies, who unite in pronouncing hits "a nice young man." However important these accomplishment may be considered by Mr. Wilson, the citizens of Alleghe ny are inclined to believe that they do not qualify a man to legislate for the people of Pennsylvania, and a more competent deserving candidate will doubtless be elected by the intelligent and dis criminating voters of this county. A FARMER OF JZIFEIISON. MR. EDITOR.:—As the Democratic County Convention is about to assemble—and as a part of the duties of that Convention will be the selec tion of suitable persons to be supported at the en suing election as candidates for Congress, Assem bly, and the several county offices—we take occa sion to ask the Democracy of the County to place iu nominatiorrfor the Assembly, Arronsw Melt: wars, believing him to be well qualified to repre sent Allegheny County in the State Legislature, from his extensive acquaintance - with the interests of the people of the district, from his general bu siness habits, and from his ready capabilities as a public speaker. Mr. Mcllwain has loug been a consistent and an ardent Democrat—on all occasions devoting his best energies to the support of the men and mea sures of the Democratic party. From the above considerations, and from the fact that Mr. ;Mal wain is personally popular with the people, we re spectfully ask the Convention for an opportunity of voting for him. A HOST OF ''DEMOCRATS. The nomination of Jouir C. DAV ITT, Esq., to the office of Prothonotary of the County would meet with very general satisfaction, in this district, and doubtless in all parts of the county. There is no man that could be presented to the party in possession of a more. unblemished Democratic character or qualifications; he is always at his post when duty calls him there, but he still has been suffered to remain as a common soldier fight ing the battles of the party, while others less serving carry off the spoils of victory. When the Democracy of the country stood endangered by distraction and desertions, Mr. Dmitt was to be found speaking and acting; no dark clouds bewil dered his imagination, or for one moment suffered him to adopt a time-serving policy,'in order to let the storm pass before defining his position. There fore we would earnestly request the convention about to assemble to do justice to honest merit and nominate Mr Ddritt to the office of Prothonotary. LOWER ST. CLAM. CREW .1440 -.600 .235 ...166 ...240 .Nlsssna. Enrrona.—The name of Capt. Jno- Woods of Reserve will be submitted to the Con. vention to assemble un Wednesday, 2.lth inst.. fur nomination for-the office of County Coniiiiissoner for 3 years. The Captain it; an unwavering Democrat of the Jeffereonian ichool, and no one who knows the man can doubt his capability to fulfill the duties of the office with credit to himself and satisfaction to the l'ublic. He is one of our oldest and bet.tried citizdm, having been born and raised in the township in which he now lives, and having held important offices of trust (not emolument) from time to time, behas been always true to his:principles and his party, and yet securing the respect and esteem of his fellow:citizens of all parties. Should he receive the nomination, the question. "Is he capable? Is he honest?" will be best an swered at the ballot lfrok, by those who have kuown him Thug and well, the citizens of his own township in particular, arid by those of the coun ty generally. SENIX. CALIFORNIA—Captain Fre7llolll.—Letten , have been received at the Navy Department from Mom tery, bearing late dates, April 16th. The Union says: The unwarranted attempt to drive Capt. Fremont from the country has already been alluded to in the newspapers. After having been ordered away by Don Jose Castro, commandant general, Capt. F. expecting an attack fortified himself about twelve leagues distant from Monterey. Castro assembled about 100 men in front of the entrenchment. Af- ter remaining there three days, he concluded to retreat, when it was discovered that the party had quietly gone off, leaving some old saddles and trash which the Californians magnified into munitions of war. Three hundrgd riflemen offered their services to Capt. F., but they were declined. The movement against Captain Fremont seems to have been directed by the central government of Mexico; but it is not oelieved that the people of California entertained any ill-will towards him, or would willingly. have done him harm His own conduct in the whole matter seems to have been marked alike by courage and discretion. We sub join a copy of a leter written by him to the Amer ican consul at Monterey, when in expectation of an attack, and received by the consul in the eve ning of March 10. The captain retrained in ex cellent heath, and had gone north:— "My Dear Sir:—l this moment Teceived your letters, and without waiting to read them, ack nowledge the receipt which the courier requires instantly. lam making myself as strong as pos sible, in the intention that if we are unjustly attack ed, we will fight to extremity and refuse quarter, trusting to our country to avenge our death: - No one, has reached my camp; and from the heights we are able to See troops (with the glass) muster ing at Saint John's, and preparing cannon.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. L. MARCY, secretary of War. To the Pncsinzar. lILADOVAIITraIS ARMY OF OCCOPALTIO3' • Camp near Matamoras, May 16 1846. SIR: I have now the honor to submit a morede tailed report of the Action of the Bth inst. The main body of the Army of occupation marched, under nay immediate orders, from Point Isabel, on the evening of the 7th of May, and bi vouacked seven miles from that place. Our march was resumed on the following mor ning. About noon, when our advance of cavalry bad reached the water-hole of "Palo Alto," the Meiican troops were reported in our front, and v,ere soon discovered occupying the road in force. I ordered a halt upon reaching the water, with a view to rest and refresh the men, and form delib erately our line of battle. The itlexicau line was now plainly visible across the prairie, and about three quarters of a mile distant. Theirlett, which wai composed of a very heavy force of cavalry, occupied the road, resting upon a thicket of chap paral; while masses of infantry were discovered in succession on the right greatly outnumbering our own force. Our line of battle was now formed in the follow ing order, commencing on the extreme right: sth infantry, commanded by Lieut. Col. Mclntosh; 'Maj. Ringgold's artillery; 3d infantry, commanded. by Captain L N. Moms; two I 8-pounders, com manded by Lieut, Churchill, 3d artillery; 4th in -j fantry, commanded by Major G. W. Allen; the 3d and 4th regiments, composed the 3d brigade, under command of Lieut. Col. Garland; made* the above corps, together with, two squadrons of dragoons under Captains Kerr and May, composed the tight wing, under the oteers of Col. Twiggs. The left - was formed by the battalion of artillery commanded by Lieut. Col. Childs, Gaptain Due• can's light artillery, and the Bth infantry, under Captain Montgomery—all forming the first brig ade, under command of Lieut. Col. Belknap. The train was packed near the water, under the direc tion of Captains Crossman and Myers, and protec ted by Capt. Kerr's squadron. ' At 2 o'clock we took up the march by heads of columns, in the direction of the enemy—the 18- pounder :battery following the road. While the col umns were advancing, Lieut, Blake, topographical engineer, volunteered a recounoisance of the_ene my's line' which was handsomely performed, and resulted in the discovery of at least two batteries of artillery in the intervals of their cavalry and in fantry. These batteries were soon opened upon us; when I ordered the columns halted and deployed into line, and the fire:to be returned by all our ar tillery. The Bth infantry, on our extreme left, was thrown hack to secure that flank. The first fires of the enemy did little execution, while our 18- pounders and Major Ringold's artillery soon dis persed the cavalry, which formed his Left. Captain Duncan's battery, thrown forward in advance of the line, was doing good execution at this time. Capt. May's squadron was now detached to sup portthat battery, and the left of our position. The Mexican cavalry, with two pieces of artillery, were now reported to be moving through the chapparel to our right, to threaten that flank, or to make a 'demonstration against the train. The sth infantry was immediately detached to check this movement, and, supported by Lt. Ridgely, with a section of d Major Ringgold's battery and Capt Walker's coin pang repulsed pan of volunteers effectually the enemy;l the - sth infantry repelling a charge of lancers, and the artillery doing great execution in their ranks.' The 3d infantry was now detached to the right as, a further security to that flank yet - threatened by the enemy. Major Ringgold, with the remaining section, kept up his fire from an advanced posi tion and was supported by the 4th infantry. The grass of the prairie had been accidently fir ed by our artillery, and the. volumes of smoke now partially concealed the armies from each oth er. As the enemy's left had evidently been driven j back and left the road free as the cannonade had been suspended, I ordered forward the 18-pound era on the road nearly to the position first occupi-, eil by the Mexican cavalry, and caused the first brigade to take up a new position still on the left of the 18-pounder battery. The sth was advanced from its former position and occupied a point on' the extreme right of the new line. The enemy made a change of position corresponding to our own, and after a suspension of nearly an hour the! action was resumed. The fire of artillery was now most destructive —openings were constantly made through the en emy's ranks by our fire, and the constancy with which the Mexican infantry sustained this severe cannonade was a theme of universal remark and admiration. Capt. May's squadron was detached to make a demonstration on the left of the enemy's position, and suffered severely from the fire of ar tillery to which it was for some time exposed.— The 4th infantry which had been ordered to sup port the 18-pounder battery, was exposed to a most galling tire of artillery, by which several men were killed and Capt. Page dangerously wounded. The enemy's fire was directed against our 18-pounder battery and the guns under Major Ringgold in its vicinity. The major himself while cooley directing the fire of his pieces, was struck by a cannon ball and mortally wounded. In the Meantime the battalion orartillery under Lieut. Col. Childs had been brought up to support the artillery on our right. A strong demonstration of cavalry was now made by the enemy against this part of our line, and the column continued to advance under a severe fire from the 18-poun lers. The battalion was instantly formed in square and held ready to receive the charge of cavalry, but when the advancing squadrons were within close range a deadly fire of cannister from the 18-pound ers dispersed them. A brisk fire of small arms was now opened upon the square by which one officer, Lieut. Luther, 2nd artillery, was slightly wounded, but a well directed volley from the front of the square silenced all further firing from the enemy in this quarter. It was now nearly dark, and Cie ac tion was closed on the right of our line, the enemy having been completely driven back from his post- tion and foiled in evey attempt against our line. While the above was going forward on our right and under my own eye, the enemy had made a seri ous attempt against the left of our line. Capt. Dun can instantly preceived the movement, and by the bold and brilliant manceuvering of his battery, com pletely repulsed several successive efforts of the en emy to advance in force upon our left flank. Sup ported in succession by the Bth infantry and by Capt. Kerr's squadron of dragoons, he gallantly held the enemy at bay, and finally drove him, with im-, mense loss, from the field.• The action here and along the whole line, continued until dark, when the enemy retired into the chapporal in rear of his position. Our army bivouacked'on the ground it: !occupied. During the afternoon the train had been moved forward about half a mile, and was packed' iii rear of the new position. Our loss this day was nine killed,: forty-four wounded, and two missing. Among the wounded Were Major Ringgold; who has since died, and Cagtaln Page,' dangerously wounded; Lieutenant For the Morning Post For the Morning Post For the Morning Post X~.-5..~•,-,~,tT.. NESS /GB \VAE DEWITMICT, June 11,1836 . ; .~. Luther slightly so. I annex a tabular statement • of the basualties of the day. . Our own .force engaged, is shown by the field report, herewith, to have been 176 officers and 2,- 111 men—aggregate, 2,288... The Mexican Three, according to the statements of their own officers ta ken prisoners in the affair of the 9th, was not less than 6,000 regular troops, with 10 pieces of arta ery, and probably exceeded that number. the irre gular force not known. Their loss was not less than 200 killed and 400 wounded—probably great er. This estimate is very 'Moderate, and formed upon the number actually counq upon the field end upon the reports of .. their own officers. As already reported in my.first brief despatch, the conduct of our officers and- men was every thing that could be desired. Exposed for hours to the severest trial—a cannonade of artillery—wur troops displayed a coolness and constancy which, gave me, throughout the assurance of victory. I purposely defer fhe mention of individuals un til my report of the action of the 9th, - when I will endeavor to do justice to the many instances of dis tinguished conduct on both days. In the meantime I refer, for minute details, to the reports of indi vidual commanders. I am, sir, very respectfully. Your obedient servant, Z. TAYLOR, Brevet Brigadier General United States army, Commanding. The Mut;Tsrr GEMSRA. Or THe Aaxt, Washington, D. C. HYAGI.V.ARTERS ARMY OF OCCETATIOM, No. 30. Camp near Fort Brown, Texas, May 17, 184 e.. Sin: In submitting a more minute report of the affairs of "Iteseca de la Palma," I have the honor to , state that early on the morning of the Oth inst. the enemy who had encamped near the field of bat tle of the day previous, was discovered moving by his left dank; evidently in retreat, and perhaps at the same time to gain a new position on the road to Matamoras and there again resist our advance. I ordered the supply train to be strongly packed at its position, and left with it four pieces of artil lery—the. two 18-pounders which had done such good service on the previous day—and two 12- pounders which had not been in the action. The wounded officers and men , were at the same time sent buck to Point 'lsabel. I then moved forward with the columns to the edge of the chapparel or forests which exteudsto the Rio Grande, a distance', of smell miles. . The light companies of the Ist brigade, unilerCapt.-C. F. Smith, 2nd artillery, ,and a select detachment of light troop; the whole un der the command of Capt. McCall, 4th infantry, were throwp forward into the chapparel to feel the enemy and ascertain his position. About three o'clock 1 received a report from the advance that the enemy was in position on the road with at least two pieces of artillery. The command was im mediately put in motion, ; and about 4 o'clock I came up with Capt. Mc Call, who reported the en my in force in our front, occupying a ravine which intersects the rout and is skirted by thickets of dense chapparal. Bidgely's battery and the ad vance wedea Capt. M Call were at once thrown forward on the roadp and into the chapparal on either side, with the iith infantry and one wing of the 4th, was thrown into the forest on the left, and the 3d and the other' wing of the 4th, on the right ' of the road. These corps were employed as skir mishers to cover the battery and engage the Mex ican infantry. Capt. MCall's command became at once engaged with the enemy, while the light artillery, though in.a very exposed position, did great execution. The Znerny , had at least eight pieces of artillery, and maintained an incessant fire upon our advance. The action now became general, and although the enemy's infantry gave way before the steady fire and resistless progress of our own, yet his ar tillery waset ll in aposition to check our advance— several pieces occupying the passacross the ravine, which he had chosen for his position. Perceiving that no decisive advantage could be gained until' , this artillery was silenced, I ordered Captain May to charge the batteries with his squadron of dra-' gonna This was gallantly and effectually execu-1 ted, the,enemy was driven from his guns,mal Gen eral La Vega, who remrined alone at one of the batteries, was taken prisoner. 'Flic squadron; which suffered much in this charge, not being immediate. ly supported by infantry, could not retain posses sion of the artillery taken, but it was completely silenced. In the meantime the Bth infantry had been ordered up and had become warmly engaged on the right of the road. This regiment and a part of the sth were now ordered to charge the batter ies; which was handsomely dune, and the enemy entirely driven from his artillery and his position on the left of the road. The right companies of the let brigade and the 3d and 4th regiments of infantry had been deploy. ed on the right of the road,- where, at various points, they became briskly engaged with the en emy. A small party under Captain Buchanan and ' Lieutenants Wood and Hays, 4th infantry, compo sed chiefly of men of that regiment, drove the en emy from a breast-work which he occupied. and captured a piece of artillery. An attempt to re cover this piece was repelled by Captain Barbour, 3d infantry. The enemy was at lust completely driven from his position on the right of the road, and retreated precipitately. leaving baggage of eve ry description. The 4th infantry took possession of a camp where the head quarters of the Mexi can general-in-chief were established. All his of ficial correspondence was captured at this place. The artillery battalion (excepting,the flank companies) had been ordered to guard te baggage train, which was packed some distance in rear.— That battalion was now ordered up to pursue the enemy, and with the 3d infantry, Captain Kerr's dragoons, and Captain Duncan . ' battery, followed him rapidly to the river; making n number of prisoners. Great numbers of the enemy were drowned in attempting to cross the river near the town. The corps last mentioned encamped near the river—the remainder of the army on the field of battle. The strength of our marching force on this day, as exhibited in the annexed field report, was 173 officers, and 2,049 men—aggregate 2,222. The ac tual number engaged with the enemy did not ex. ceed 1,700. Our loss was three officers killed and twelve wounded; thirty-six men killed, and seventy one wounded: Among the officers killed, I have to regret the loss of Lieut. Inge. 211 dragoons, whO fell at the head of his platoon, while gallantly chart; ing the enemy's battery; of Lieut. Cochrane, of the' 4th, and Lieut. Chadbourne, of the Bth infantry, who likewise met their death in the thickest of the fight. The officers wounded were Lieut. Dobbins, 3d in fantry, servir * , with the light infantry advance, slightly; Lieut. Col. Payne, inspector General; Lieut. Col. Mclntosh, sth infantry, severely, (twice;) Capt. Hose, sth infantry, severely, (right arm, since amputated.) Lieut. Fowler, sth infantry, slightly; Capt. Montgomery, Bth infantry, slightly; Lieuts. Gates and Jordan, Bth infantry, severely, (each twice;) Lieuts. Sheldon, Maclay, Burbank; and Morris, Bth infantry. slightly. A tabular statement of the killed and wounded is annexed herewith. I have no accurate date from which to estimate the enemy's force on this day. He is known to have been reinforced after the action of the Bth, both by cavalry and infantry, and to an extent at least equal to his loss on that day. It is probable that 9,000 men were opposed to us, and in a position chosen by themselves, and strongly defended with artillery. The enemy's loss was very great. Near ly 200 of his dead were buried by us on the day succeeding, the battle. His loss in killed, wound ed, and missing, in the two affairs of the Bth and 9th is, I think, moderately estimated at 1,000 men. Our victory has been decisive. A small force has overcome immense odds of the best troops that Mexico can furnish—veteran regiments, perfectly equipped and appointed, Eight pieces of artillery. several colors and standards, a great number of prisoners, including fourteen officers, and a large amount of baggage and public property have fal len into our hands. The causes of victory are doubtless to be found in the superior quality of our officers and men. I have already, in former reports; paid a general tribute to the admirable conduct of the troops on both days. It ars becomes my duty—and I feel it to be one of the great delicacy—to notice indi viduals. In so extensive afield as that of the Sth, and in the dense-cover where most of the action of the 9th was fought. I could not possibly be witness to more than a'amall portion of the operationesof the various corps and I must therefore, depend up on the reports of subordinate comManders, which I respectfully enclose herewith. Colonel Twiggs, the second in command, was particularly active on both days in executing my orders, and directing the operations of the right -:;~~. wing ; Lieutenant Colonel Mclntosh, commanding the sth infantry Lieutenant Colonel Garland, com manding the 3n brigade, Lieut Colonel Belknap, commanding the first brigade, Lieutenant Colonel Childs, commanding the artillery battalion, Major Allen, Captains L. N. tforris and Montgomery, commanding respectively the 4th, 3d, and Bth regi ments of infantry, were zealous in the performance of their duties, and gave examples to their corn ! mends of cool and fearless conduct. Lieutenant Colonel Mclntosh reinilsed with his regiment a charge of lancers in the action of Palo Alto, and shared with it in the honors and dangers of the fol lowing day, being twice severely wounded. Lieu tenant Colonel Belknap headed a charge of the Bth infantry, which resulted in driving the enemy from his guns, and leaving us in possession of that part of the field. Captain Duncan and Lieutenant Ridgely deserve especial notice for the gallant and efficient manner in which they manoeuvred and served their batte ries. The impression made by Captain Dlincan's battery upon the extreme right of the enemy's line, at the affair of Palo Alto, contributed largely to the result of the day; while the terrible fire kept up by Lieutenant Ridgely, in the affair of the 9th, inflicted heavy losses upon the enemy. The 18- pounder battery, which played a, conspiciotts part in the action of the Bth, was admirably served by Lieutenant Churchill, 3d artillery, assisted by Lieu tenant Wood, topographical engineer. The charge of cavalry on the enemy's batteries on the 9th, was gallantly led by Capt. May, and had complete success. Captain McCall, 4th 'infantry, rendered distin. guished service with the advanced corps under his oders. Its loss, in killed and wounded, will show how closely it was engaged. I may take this oc casion to say that, in two former instances, Cap tain McCall bas rendered valuable services as a partisan officer. In this connexion I would Men tion the services of Captain Walker, of the Texas rangers. who was in both affairs with his company and who has performed very meritorious services as a spy and partisan. I must beg leave to refer to the reports of sub ordinate commanders for the names of many of ficers, non-commissioned officers and privates, who . were distinguished by good conduct on both days. Instances of individual gallantry and personal con flict with the enemy were not wanting in the af fair of the 9th, but cannot find place in a general report. The officers serving on the staffs of the different commanders, are particularly mentioned by them. I derived efficient aid on both days from all the officers of my staff Captain Bliss, assistant adju tant general, Lieutenant Colonel Payne, Inspector General, Lieutenant Eaton, A. D. D., Captain Wag garnan, commissary of subsistence, Lieutenants. Scarret, engineers, and. Lieutenants Blake and Meade, topographical engineers, promptly convey ed my orders to every part of the field. Lieuten ant Colonel Payne was wounded in the affair of the 9th. and I have already had occasion to report the melancholy death of Lieutenant Blake, byac cident, in the interval between the two engage. ments. Major Craig and Lieutenant Brereton, of the ordnance department, were actively engaged in their appropriate duties, and Surgeon Craig, medi cal director, superintended in person the arduous services of the field hospitals. I take this occasion to mention generally the devotion to duty of the medical staff of the army, who have been untiring in dolt exertions, both in the field and in the hospi tals, to aleviate the sufferings of the wounded of both armies. Captains Crosman and Myers of the quartermaster's department, who had charge of the heavy supply train at both engagements, conduc ted it in a most satisfactory manner, and finally brought it up without the smallest loss, to its des, tination. I enclose an inventory of the Mexican property captured on the field, and also a sketch of the field of "Resaca de la Palniait' and of the route from Point Isabel, made by my aid-de-camp, Lieutenant Eaton. One regimental color, (battalion of Tam pico,) and many standards guidons of calvary were taken at the affair of the 9th. I would be pleesed to receive your instructions as to the disposition to be made of these trophies—whether they shall be sent to Washing on, &c. I am, very respectfully, .. Your obedient servant, Z.
