Mcintosh's Train Slender Garrison at' I era Cruz Yellow Feter, he. The U. S. steamship Miry Kinrrsland, Capr. ravii, arrived at New Urleana on the 17th nit., from Vera Crti the 0th, and from Brew Ihe 13th ult. She brines us more details of the moat important eveot lhat has lately happened in that pnrt of Mexico, viz ; tbe attack on Col, Mcln'oeh's train. Attack o?i tub Thai. We 1rrn that the whole of the immense train, nndpf Ihfl rcorl of Col. Mcintosh and 800 men, proceeding on ward to the head-qtiarters of Gen. Scott, were attacked by a guerilla party at a point jurt , fit teen miles beyond Santa Fe, a vitlsge eight miles from Vera Crux, , The moment the at tack was made on the head of the train, the dragoons charged on the enemy and dispersed them. After the lapi e of a very short time, the Mt xicnns again made theirappcarance in seem ingly overwhelming utimbcrs, at least 17 or 1P00 Mronjr.and opened fire on several points at once. Here considerable number ot pack mules fell into the hsnds of the foe, from the ex tended line which had to be kept tip on the march, owing to the narrow defiles through which the train was pfifpinjr. Colonel Mcintosh, sfter a rather severe con test, beat nfflhe sssaitnnts, and then fortified himself behind his wagons, deeming it impru dent to continue on without a reinforcement, particularly requiring artillery. An rjcprcus reached the city on Monday, the 7th inst., in the evening, and on Tuesday morning, Cen. Cndwalder marched to his relief, with a section detailed from the Howitzer battery, 10 guns, attached to the Vnltigeur regiment, under Lieuts. Blately and Cochrane ; lour companies 11th regiment, under Col. Kainsey ; one com pany of tbe 0th and one of the 7th Infantry, and company K, of 3d Dragoons. Twenty wagons accompanied. " The Mexicans aro said to be posted in con tiiderable strength, in llie vicinity of the Ns tinnal Bridge, (I'uente Nacional.) close to which the train ia entrenched. They are determined to dispute the passage with us. General Cad walader, on his junction with Col. Mcintosh, will be at the head of about 1500 strong and he haa declared that he shall soon be sble to clear the road of those desperadoes, the guerrilla. Although the name is not given, there is little doubt of the Mexicans being under the com in mid of Pedro Jarueta, the Spaniard, of whose ex ploits wc have already spoken. The exael sum, in specie, conveyed by this train is $350,0(10.' Thcie is no authentic intelligence of the loss sustained by either party, in this en counter. Dr. Harney, brother of the Colonel, it is raid, received a musket ball in the teg. which was, h.iwever, but a flei-h wound. llotua Rohdesv A daring rubbery of some orty or Tidy horses and mules is said to have en perpetrated by the Mexicans nn tho 5th inntnnt, close to the walls of the city. Com pa fit, 3d dragoons, went in pursuit the next diy, and after remaining out scouring the coun try until the following morning, the 7th instant returned, and reported that they saw no vestige of the enemy, Garrison of. era Out. We hivo been informed that the number , of troops at Vera Cruz, since the departure of Gen. Cad walader, has been reduced to so low a figure as to give rise to some apprehensions for the safety of the city, in. case of so attack, by tny thing like the number said to be under Pedro Jsruela. . There were not more than forty men fit for duty in theCntte of San Juan de Ulloa when the Mas sachusetts left. (Kicorge J. Weaver, HOPE MAKER t SniP CHANDLER. .-' A'o.

' He was a pale, delicate child, said lo Wo en orphan, end used to gentle nature ; and from the first hour I joined the schooner, my heart yearned towards him, for I too had been friendless and alone in the world. He had often talked to me in con fidence ol hia mother, whose memory he regar ded with holy reverence, 'vhile to the other boys of the ship he had little to say; for they weie rut'e and course ; be oclicate and seru-ilive.

During the late fight I had owd my life to him, lor he rushed in jual as a sabre stroke was leveled tt me, ami by interposing hie feeble cottar had a verted the deadly "blow. In the hurry am) crm fusion since I hsd quite forgotten to imjtiite If he was hurt, though at the lime, I inwardly re solved to exert all my little influence to p rot ore him a midi-hipman's warrant in requital for his service. Il was with a pang of reproachful a gony then that I leaped lo my feel. My Gal!' I exclaimed, 'you dont mean il! lie is not dying! I ft sr sir,' said the messenger, shaking his head sadly, 'thai he cannot live till morning.' And I have been lying idle here!' I exclai med with remorse. ..'Lead me to him !' He is delirious, but in the intervals of luna cy he aked for you, sir,' and as the man spoke we stood by the bedside of the dying boy. ' The soffererdid not lie in his usual hammock. fur it was hung in the mulct of the crew, and the clone air around it was too stifling: but he had been carried under the open hatchway snd laid there in a little space of about 4 feet square. From the sound ot the ripples, I judged the schooner was in motion, while the clear, calm blue sky seen through the opening overhead, nd dotted with myriads of stars, betokening lhat the fog had broken away. How calm it smiled down on the warm face of the dying boy. Occai-ionally a light current of wind oh ! how deliciouely cool In that pent up hold come down lire hatchway, and lifted the dark chestnut locks of the sufferer, aa with his head reposing io the lap of an old veteran, he lay in an unquiet slumber. . His shirt collar was unbuttoned, and his childish bcj?n as white ss that of a girl, was open and exposed. He breathed quick and heavily. The wound of which he was dying had been intensely pain ful, but within the last halt hour had somewhat lulled, though even now his thin fingers tightly grasped ihe bed cloths, as if he suffered tbe greatest sgnny. A battle atained end gory haired seaman stood beside him, holding dull lantern in his hsnd, and gazing sorrowfully down upon the sufferer. The surgeon knelt with his finger on the boy's pulae. As I approached they all looked up. I he ve'.eran who held him shook his head, and would have spoken but the tears gathered too chokingly iu his eyes. Tbe surgeon said 'lie is going fast poor little fellow do you see this !' aa he spoke he lilted up rich gold lo:kct, which hsd lain upon the boy's breast. He hss seen better days.' ' I could not answer for my heart was full hero wss the being to whom, but a few hours before, I had owed my life a poor slight un protected child lying be'ore mo with death already written on hia brow and yet I had ne ver sought him out after the conflict.

"Another and more affecting case occurred a few moments afterwards, aa I wss walking down towards thn city. A quite well dressed Spaniard came op to one of our soldiers who wasslanding guard over the arms that the Mexi- cans hsdstacked, eating a mall piece of cracker, and offered him fifty cents for it The soldier rehired his money, but gave him a whole crsrker ; (you must understand that a soldier's cracker is about five inches sousre.) Tbe man thanked him, end turned again towards the ci ty, when ihero came three little boys and a girl, clapping their hands in joy.

These Butnai live in a City containing, probably, six thousand inhabi lautfi, who support themselves entirely by sgri culture. . The city la one of the most extraordinary in the World. It is divided into four sol id squares having but two streets crossing its centre at righta. All the buildings are two-story high, composed ofsun-bornt brick. The firt story presents a solid wall to the streft, and is so eon structed that etch hoUe joins, until one fourth of the city msy be said to be one building.

The authori- ies of the crescent city recei ved them in a hand some manner, and gave on the occasion a splen did entertainment. S S. Prentiss, tsq , one Of the most eloquent men in the tTnion, addressed the Volunteers, to whic h Cot. Jefferson frsvis and Col. McClung replied. The following extract s ail we have fom rcr ft em the address of Mr. Prentiss: O ir little Artnyftf regulars, as they well de- iorVcd to do, had already plucked the first fruits of the war. On the victorious fields of Palo Alto snd ftrstaa tie la Palma they sustained their own b'gh character, atid nobly illustrated American skill and valor. They scourged the enemy Irrrth the Rm tirande, snd theh, rein torcr-H by the volunteers, who (locked to their country's standard, their great captain medita ted tho Conquest nf the strong-hold of Monterey There, like the esglo nn his eyre, stood the mountain king. Thither the eyes o! Iho na tion turned in tiger eXpeeiat on. All hearts pslpitsted for the result. Now was our nation l prowess to be tested now we were to srter lain whether we could cast bock into the teeth of European generals and I'umpean tJiptomatibU the taunts which they had hesptd Upon rjttttiti zen soldiers. They had told Us that our rcpub lie wss weak, nolwilhstanding its great popu lation and unbounded r'enmrces. They sard tVe had no military strength ; thnt our army and navy, though skilful snd brave, were but a cy pher compared with the mighty armaments ot the Did World ; and that bur unpractised citi zena could never make efficient soldiers. Soon came Ihe ever glorious storming of Ihe moun tain factiiess, and the problem was solved. The natronV heart beat free; ami joy for the present, confidence in the future, pervsded the land. In deed it. was a great and glorious achievement, and in its moral elV.-ct,botti at home and abroad, perhaps the moot important of the war. It gave thu country complete confidence in the Volun teers the volunteers full reliance Upon them selves. From that day fotth they became Ve terans. Time Will not permit me to recite the Vivid and heart-stirring incidents of that memo rable and wonderful conflict. On one side nf the city tho regulars fought, as they always do, with skill, With bravery snd succss; they did all that was expected of thrm their previous reputattnn rendered it impossible to do more On the other sido the volunteers drew their aioVti swords. Never before had they eXpo enced a grasp atronger than friendship; now iey stretched forth their hands and grappled with death. On, on, pressed fheso unfledged arriors these men ot civil life, these cit.ren ddiers ; their bright blades il.ished before them ke tnrgues of flame. 1'p ihe hill side, through he streets swept by tbe raking csnnnn, over arritade and battery, Ilieir advancing banners, streaming like thunder-clouds against the wind, rustled in the battle breeze, like the pinions of n esgls pouncing on his quarry. All know he glorious recti It. The enemy, though be ou'lil bfavely fur his firesides snd his altars, nd in Ihe midst of hia supposed impregnable defences, shrunk Irora such fn-ry valor. The day was ours, and the Republic acknowledges its debt of gratitude lo tho gallant volunteers. Welcome, then, thrice welcome, victors of Monterey ! Dul the fortune of the war determined thst your conduct and Valor should be tested upon a yet bloodier field. At fluena Vibta, you met, face to face, the genius of the battle, even as he appeared to the Warrior IUrd.' Lo ! where tbe giant on the mountain stands, Ilia blood-red trestes deep'hing in the sun, With death-shot (lowing in hia fiery bands, And eye that score bet h all it glares upon Rettli-s it rolls now lixeoV-arid now anon f lahing afar and at his iron feet Destruction rovreia, to mark what deeds arc done. ' t'mler that hot gaxf, in the fierce conflict Where denperate courage Mas put to the utmost proof, sll fame unites in saying that you cover ed yourselves with Immortal honor. In a pitch ed battle egaic.st brave and veteran treops, out- numbering you ftiur to ore, during two days )om made successful contest yon stood a living dyke, and again and sijaifi pohred Upon you Honor, then, to your brave comrades ! We Wish they were here to share yonr welcome, heroes of Buena Vista. " But you have stilt another claim upon onr re gard, the love and confidence or your general. To have your fia fries associated With bis is itself renown, lie has Achieved a World-wide fame; The whole nation looks upon him with admira tion and affection, and twenty millions or people love and confide in him,' and right well does the crave old man dessrve these treat honors. A trn patriot, he his never obtruded himself upon the country : when his services were needed, then he rendered them. The nation knew not the treasure it possessed until the emergencies of the last year developed it. Now We know we nave that gilt of a century a general, cool, sa gacious, prudent, braVe and humane rapacious in resources, simple in habits, modest in manners and, shove all, possessed of the rare capacity of infusing into those around him his own indomi table courage and determination. These are the qualities, Which have rendered Gen. Taylor and his armies invincible. They are of the true old Roman sort such as might have belonged to & consul in the best days of the Ancient Republic- It is no small honor to have fought under the eye And received the commendation of such a soldier. Welcome, then, thrice welcome T com panions orthe great Captain in those wonderful engagements, whose rapidity and brilliancy have astonished the world. Gentlemen, yon Can have before you a proud and happy destiny. Yours have been no mercenary services. Prompted by patriotism alone, you went forth to fight the bat tles of your country. You now voluntarily re turn to the pursuits of civil life. Presently you Will be engaged in your ancient occupations. But you will not be without the meet reward of patiiotle service. Your neighbors will regard you With respect and affection. Your children will Teel proud whenever they hear mention made of Monterey and Buena Vista, & a grateful hation bas already inscribed your names upon its Annals. Indeed, it is a noble sight, Worthy of the genius of this great Republic to behold at the call of the country whole armies leap forth in battle array, and then, when their services are no longer heeded, Ml quietly back and com mingle again with the Communities from whence they came. Thus the dark thunder cloud, at na ture's summons, marshals its b'ack battalions and lowers in the horizon ; but at length, its lightnings spent, its dark artillery silenced, its mission finished, disbanding its frow ing ranks, It melts away into the blue ether ; and the next morning you will find it glittering in the dew diops among the flowers, or assisting with its kindly moistures the growth of the young and tender plants.
