asserted that a brevet conferred no rtghl
to outrank a lull commission.’ The mat
ter was referred to Gen. Taylor. who. a
dopting the rule laid down byJackson,de
cided against Worth. On this Worth.
following a precedent set byéwScott.‘ I‘c
vsignt‘d his commission J 5 hurried to Wash
lngtnn. During his absence the battles
ol Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palms were
fought; on hearing the intelligence 111
which, Worth recalled his resignation 81.
rejoined the army. Every one knows how
gallantly he lought ‘at Munlet‘ey! He
will rewarded for that bloody day with
the brevet rank ofMaj. General.
There are but two lull Major Generals
in the army. Scotland Taylor. Gaines
is only a brevet Maj. General, like Worth.
Scott and Taylor receive the pay and ra’
lions ol Major Generals : “r orth receives
only the pay and rations ofa colonel. that
being his rank in the line. Any full Brin
sdier in the line .Woold nutrank and com
mand Worth. This is an anomalous
state‘of things. It will he‘s'ee'n that bre
vet rank is merely honorarymconfcrring
neither increased pay nor power. lt'might
happen that Worlh would be forced to
terve under some very inferior officer. In
coneequen‘ce of this unsubstantlal charac
ter of brevet rank.
i When it was determined to besiege Ve
ra Cruz, Worth with most of the other
generals. was detached from Taylor’s ar
‘my. and placed under Scott. At the lau
‘ ding at Vera Cruz. Worth commanded
} the first division. and took the lead con
sequently. in leaving the ships. Having
eflected his tlisemharkation in the lace of
t the enemy. he drew up' hisxtruopa in gal
!lant Style. and awaited the ‘arrival of the
{other divisions. 0n the capitulation of
Vera Cruz. Worth was at the convention
that dictated the articles; and when _the
city was taken possession oihy the Amer
icana. he rode in advance. at the head of
a brilliant cortege into the public square,
; He was now appointed Governor ot Vera
Cruz. When the army began its march
for the interior. the van. lor awhile. was
under the command ofV‘Twiggs. lbut subse
quently. it fell to worm‘sgatn, who was
‘ the first to enter Puebla in consequence.
‘ It was at this city that the unfortunate se
-3 riea ol' misunderstandings between him 81
Scott arose. which have interrupted s
triendship of thirty-five years’ continu
once. This is not the place tocsnvassthe
amount of blame rightly belonging to each
party“ Both, perhaps, have been some
what in the wrong.
At the battle of Contreras. Worth was
not present—the hero of (Ital day was
Gen. Persifcr‘Sm'ith. But at Cherubusco,
his division was engaged at the tete riu
paint. and fought. under his own eyemilh
astonishing intrepidity. It is the charac
teristic of Worth that he can inspire his
soldiers with a portion of his own head
long valor. and thus secure victory. The
march around the southern side of Lake
Chalco was suggested by Worth. to whom
the practicability of the road was commu
nicated by Col. Duncan. of Worth’s di
vision. The change in the route of the
arr'riy thus induced, placed Worth again
in the van. When Scott ‘ldetermioed to
storm Molina del Rey he committed the
almost desperate attempt to Worth, Ow
in: in an insutlicient reconnaisanee the
loss ol the assaulting columns was im
mense : they were even repulsed at first.
and Would have been defeated but for the
arrival ol Cadwalsder with the reserve.—
A'V'Ch'a’pultepee the storming party was
principally selected lrotn Worth’s and
Piltnw’s regulars. '
'l‘hmughout the whole war, Worth has
carried himself in the field wtth a splen
rlid gallantry that has fascinated the pup
ulnr' imagination. Ad an officer he may
he said partly to resemble Murat. 81 part-
Iy to resemble Ney; for he has the (la-h

time we have not-heard ol a single case
where persons really distressed have been
concerned in this system ol atrocious
crime. Some of the best landlords in the
country have become obnoxious to these
miscreats. and threatening notiCes have
been served upon them.” ' '

the distress which prevails in Limerick.—

out to assist in keeping of! the crowd-no

most necessitous applicants. It was me

The state of Sligo is thus described :
“Allearlul reign ol terror is being estab
lished throughout the country. The high.
est officer ol the county—the head 0! the
magistracy—had to make a hasty and un
dtg'ntlied retreat lrorn his seat to avoithhe
deadly blow ol the noonday murderer”.—
Such outrages are common. Notices ol
a threatening character have been served
npon very many landlords and their sub
ordinates. At Drurncltfle. one «I those
learful documents was posted, in which a
declaration of war was made against some
at the highest then in the county, as well
as those olinfluence. rank and station.—
With an infatuation which .nexcannntsc
count lor. those who did most good during
the lamine have been selected as objects
of attack.”

was requested in February last to go and
see the dead body of the woman'in the pig

at an accumulation ol substances within.
The smell was so. ofl'ensive that 'he was
obliged to retire. «Having had the root
removed. he fuuodhsome straw. under that
a clean quilt. and under that aquilt or
cloak. She was crouched up With her
knees up to' the chest 3 the body was tro
zen to a complete mass‘ol ice, up to the
middle. and the arms were quite rigid,
being stiffened by death and trust.
She could not have eaten tor thirty-six
hours--the indications Were those of star
vation for o constderable ttme. The frost
would have,been enough to lull her; but it
had not time to do 90; death was caused
by a determination of blood to the extrem
ities. which was induced by exposure to
cold and starvation. ’l‘he pig-pen was
seven feet square. and «here the .woman
lay only 9. leet 4 inches high.
This wretch ofa husband was acquitted
of murder and convicted ol manslaughter.

The British courier, arrived from the, 4i
city of Mexrco at the city of Vern Cruz. on,
the 22d ult. This courier was robbed once
on his way up to Mexico, and twice on .
his way down; but he lost none 0! his cor
respondence. . .i‘_ .
'l‘he Picayune says. {‘lhat thete are,
peace proposrtions on their way to Wash.

there remains not a doubt. But aoone
here has positive information as to the
true character at these propositionaa;
Some one of the thousand versions may
chance to he the correct one.” The let:
ter from which this Is extracted. is dated
thet22tl from Vera Cruz. 'and from a source,
upon which we rely with confidence.' .
. No news. of importance was brou'ght
down by the British courier, save that a
pronunciamento has been made by Mari
ano Avila, Governor of San LuisPotnsi.

as well as of Guadalajara. Guannjuato and
Zacatecae. in regard. to “peace. to which
they protege to be utterly opposed. . It
calls earnestly upon the other'vStates to]
co-operate with them in organizing forces
to defend the country. and to levy taxes
torthe support of the‘war.‘ The correc
; pondent ol the Picayune, at Vera Cruz,
attaches very little importance to this pro
nunciamento. The governor of San Luis
has long been playing the fire-eater, and
the people of his State are so fearful of
being invaded from Saltillo. or 'l‘arnpico.
or trom the city of Mexico. that they are
eternally urging the people of other States
to unite and carry on the war. ,
The Picayune has been allowed to make
an extract lrom a private letter received
bya commercial house of this city:
