8i: At non no th 23d in at., while our
sr.mp were closely engaged in the tower pan
ft th city, ti reported in my last despatch, 1
V'treired by a flag a communication from the
ifovernorof the atateof Ion, which ia herewith
ncWd, (No. 1.) To thia communicatinn, I
dmned it iny duty to return an answer declin
in; to allow the inhabitante to liave the city.
By eleven o'clock, P. M.t the 2d division,
which had entered the town from the direction
of the Bishop's Palace, had advanced within
one square of the pricipal plata, and occupied
the city up to that point. The mortar had, in
the meantime, been placed in the battery in the
einetcry, within good range of the heart of the
town, and was served throughout the night with
Ifood effect.
Eirly in the morning of the IMth, I received
a fiig from the town, bearing a communication
from Ueneral Ampudia, which I enclose, (No.
'! ) and to which I returned the answer, (No. 3 )
I also arranged with the bearer id the flag a
relation or fire until 12 o'clock, which hour 1
fyrrinted to receive the final answer of Gen.
AnpV'?'a at Gen. WortVe headquarter. B.?
tore (hi appointed time, however, General Am
pudia ban e.'tjnificd to General Worth hie desire
or a person '! interview with me, for the pur
pose of snaking eome definite arrangement. An
interview was k cciVdingly appointed for 1 o'
clock, md rewlte .1 " the naming of a commie
bion to draw oa actio, of agreement regulating
lire wklidrawal ot (he Mexican forces, and a
tenvporar ceesetirm of hostilities. The com
misflionere named "by the Mt'Jticon general in
rhief were Genera le Ortega and Jloquena and
Hon Manuel M. Llano, govern o' "ew Leon.
Those naflirdon the American e.'de vere Gen.
Worth, General Ilenderron, govrr. -tr .f Texas

4tti article, our tropp Lave ibis morning ocot
pied the citadel.
It will be aeen that the terms fronted the
Mexican garrreon are lesa rigorous than those
irl ienpoied. The gallant defence of the town
id the fact of a recent change of government
in Mexico believed tcr be favorable to the inter--Kt
of peace, induced iie to concur with tho
'im mission in these tern which will, I ttust,
receive the approval of the government. The
lter consideration also pre inpted the conven
tion for a temporary cessation of hostilities.
Though scarcely warrant ed by wy instructions,
yet the change of affaire a 'nee those inttruc
one were issned serened to warrant thia
nure. I beg to be advised, na early' aa practi
cable, whether 1 have met thtf view.' of the
government in' these particulars.

Sir: your communication, bearing date at
nine n'clock P. M.,on the 23d Inst., has just
been received by the hands of Col. Moreno.
In answer to your proposition to evacuate the
city snd fort with all the personal and materiv!
of wsr. 1 have to state that my duty compels me
to ducline seceding to it. A complete surren
der of the town and garrison, the litter as pri
oners of wsr, is now demanded. B'.it such
sunctiiler will be upon terms, and the pillmt
defence of the place, creditnlle alike to the Mex
icon inx'jis and nation, will prompt me to make
those terms as liberal as possible. The garri
son will be alio wee", at yi ur option, after lay;ng
down its arms, to retire to the interkr, on con
dition of ni t serving again during the war, or
until regularly exchanged. I need hsrdly ssy

An answer to this commuuicutinii is rr qui red

Cspt Thornton Informs u that It I now very

where about tbe 24th of tbe last month. At tbe
time of his leaving there were 700 Americana,
three fourths volunteers, sick of dysentery, ae
companled with intestinal ulceration typhoid
fever. Th average number of deaths wat five
a day. It ia to be expected however that the
accession of cold weather will much abate tbe
violence of the disea.
Cspt. T. further informs ns that an order bad
been issued by Gen. Tsylor to Gen. Pstterton at
Camarco to send the A I shams and Georgia regi
ments of vnlimteera to Monterey. They were
to be enmmsnded by Cen. Pillow.
The following is the loeation of the Amcri-
ran forces at tb diOVrent points on the Rio

One Regiment of Vglunteers at the mouth of
the Rio (Jtamle.
Two Regiments at a Mexican fort on th river
ten miles from its mouth.
One Regiment of Ohio Volunteers under tbe
command of Col. Curtis, snd four companies of
Artillery (regulars) at Matamoras. The volun
teers are anramped on the north end of the town ;
two enmpsnies or Artillery, under Cspt Lowe,

L'ning 140 miles we broke 20 sxle trees, snd
other parts of the wspnns in proportion. Some
psrts of our route were very mountainous and
rocky ; especially that north of the Red River.
The frequent occurrence, on other portions of

not require the inspiration of a prophet to foresee
thst such must be the result. The democisry, i
and in fact the whole people of Penmylvania, are
opposed to Mr. Wslker's Southern policy, which
tends to place the labor of the North snd F.ait on
a level with thst of the Southern slave. They
are in favor of the protection of home indutry

to the policy of free trade, as wss the csie in the
recent elections, will slwsys end in defeat, snd

Child Killed Th Lancaster Union and Tri
bune Gxtra of Oct. 17th says : "Oa Saturday
morning, the 17th Inst., a man named John Hag
gerty, living In South Queen street, In this city.
committed a series of murders unparalleled in the
annals for our Commonwealth. Between 9 and
10 o'clock, after shooting a horse ia the atreet
near bis door, he went into th gunsmith shop
nesr bis own residsnce of Mr. Melchoir Ford
ney, an old and highly esteemed man ; what took
plaee eonld not ascertain, but a boy. a son of Mr.
Fordney, gave the alarm that his Father, mo
ther snd sinter had be n murdered hy Haggerty.
On going into tbe room, ws witnessed ob of the
most horrid spectacles imaginable. Just insitVa
the front door of tbe shop lay the old man, with
his bisins battered out. At his aide, but with
her hesd towsrds the bick door, 'ay th body of
his wife, her brsins also battered out ; and near
her, lay her child, four or five yeara old, with
its skull broken and th brains oozing there
from !
Fordney and. his wife, it seemed, had been ki'.
1J insfnatly. The little boy stated in subMsnce
that Haggerty got at his fathsr with an axe, and
while he was killing him, his mother rsn in to
interfere, when be turned upon her and killed
her, and then struck the child on the bead with
the axe. The child only lived s few hours. The
foul deed created intense excitement in our city.
Hsggerty was srrcsted and committed to pri
son." Orrtcut. VSOM Gal. KkdSikV Despatches
from Gen. Kearney of the 1st September bavs
been received at Washington. The Union says
they make no allusion to the reports from the
St. Louis papers. Ihe Ornersl was organising
! his militsry force, and msking srrsngements
j for the provisionsl government. He hsd sent a
I part ot hia force into a part of New Mexico which
lies South of Santa Fe, for the purpose of fora
going the hortes, he. He ssys nothirg of tb
i expedition to California.
j The New Orlesns Delta has been asiured bv an
1 officer, who waa in the battle at Monterey, that
j in steady bravery, though, of course, not in me-
thndicst marching snd systemstic sttsck, tbe vo
lunteers were fully equal to the Regulars, snd
thst is saying a great deal, for we venture to
boat that there is not a finer army in the world
than the Regulars now in Monterey, But parti
cularly in the scrambling ficht in the streets, snd
on the tops of the housea. the volunteers of Mis
sisiippi, of Tennessee and of Texas, were very
effective. Indeed the chief lots to the enemy
was ocrssioned by the sharp shooting snd phsrp
j cutting of Tennessee rifles and Mississippi bo is
knives.
Tils Rckt News from Mr.xtro shows sn
unusual dgree of vigor on the part of the govern
ment of that country, and the wsr with thst
country, from present appearances, is only be
gun. Santa Anna is at the had of the army,
for which a levy for 30. POO sdditinnsl troops hss
been made. With ueh a force as tnis, Oenersl
Santa Anna w ill be able to give General Taylor
I plenty of work to do, enperially if the Mexicans
right as bravely, and at as great an advantage, as
at Monterey. The neat battle will probably bs
j lought st Saltilla, which Ampudis will probably
j fortify st strongiy si Monterey. With the 7'JCO
I men under his command si.d the iO'.'O under CJen.
j Sales, which, it is aaid, have left the Capital.
1 there will ba atill greater odds for our troups to
contend with. Tsylor sppears, however, to na
derttsnd his foe, and to be able to engage him at
any odds We expect in a few weeks to hear of

wonderful, truly, aa that is! But he his not

rolled out from the bar of iron, perfectly made
at one operation, except turning the heel bv
a second one ; the blade of the Scythe will 11
all else be complete, ready for tempering and
grinding. The inventor haa spent two yeare
in bringing it to perfection. 1 heard the Hii

curious machine for making Scythes at a tin
