To life and light ha brought.
Tba working-man! the working-man!
Bring change with every hour;

And eitie spring to power.
Let these who acorn the working men,
For honest worth make room,
It is to him tbey owe the plough,
The ship, the forge, the loom.
The working man! the working-man!
Hi mission must fulfil;
His march is "onward!" and hia mind
Moulds earth unto hi will ;
Who shall the heart1 wild impulse tame f
The mighty mind control !
Or turn him from the purpose
That waken in hi soul f
The working-man ! the working-man !

tsnt has transpired in the capital since the pre-

" I
We extract the following items from the Ve-
ra Cruz Genius nf Liberty, of the 1st inst.
Atlisco haa been taken possession of by 1000
of our forces. The large city was yielded with-1
out the least reaistance. I
Oriz'iba ia doubt lea by tht time a!so in pos
session of tbe American forces.
The Mexican Government haa superseded
Santa Anna as the commander of the army.
Gen Rincon has been appointed to that office
Santa Anna loudly protesting against the viola-
tion of hia rights as the first Magistrate of tbe
nation, a he style himself, and refusing obe
dience to the government, retiree to Tehuacan.
Gen Scott and staff have lately visited theci
ty of Guadeloupe.
Gtn Almonte reached Querela ro on tbe 7th
ult
The New York Regiment of volunteers have
presented swords to Capt A W Taylor and
Lieut J Griffin.
The city waa filled with rumors of peace, and
it waa as id that a quorum had met at Queretaro,
and that the majority dicided in favor of an ami
cable adjustment of difficulties.
There seems to be but little doubt that a force
of Americana have entered and taken poaseeaion
of Orixaba, and it ie altogether probable that tbe
force did not exceed 400 men.
Orixaba contains a population of something
near 16.000 inhabitants, yet they had the good
erne to surrender their city, notwithstanding
that the force waa so meagre that demanded it.
Tbe following officers have leave of absence,
and proceed to the United States those who
are not incapacitated by wounds or sickness, to
recruit for their respective regiments:

ladelphis papere, has published a paper m the
city of Mexico, called the North American. It
is a beautiful sheet, the Delta says. The affairs
in the city of Mexico were in a quiet state.
The following from the Genius ef Liberty,
f the 25th ult. contains the most important
item we can gather from the Vera Crux papers
From four French gentlemen, who left the
city of Mexico on tbe 13th. and Puebla on the
16th of the oresent month. w have received
intelligence of a very important nature concer-
nine the state of affairs in those quarters. Gen
Lane havinff arrived at Perote. waa there joined
by Cant Walker and his command. Both sd
vanced together on the Puebla road till they
reached the town ot Vreyea. At this place
Capt Walker, by order of the commanding Ge
neral, took up his line of march to Huanantla,
by way of the towna of San Franciacoand Gua-
pastla. On his arrival at Huanantla a sanguin-
ary engagement took place in the atreeta, be
tween the force of Cpt Walker, conaisting of
250 men, and that of the Mexicans, numbering
1 (WO. the result of which waa the total expul
sion of the enemy from the town, and its occu-
pation by our gallant little army, which lost in

ker, after performing prodigies ot valor and
fusla 0f the moat daring character, fell, in single
combat, pierced by the spear of an enraged fa-
ther, who, goaded to actual frenry by the death
of hia son, whose fall, beneath the armor Capt
Walker, he had just witnessed, rushed forwent,
beedlees of all danger, to revenge his aeaio, ana
attacking the Can tain with irresistible violence,
plunged hia spear into bia body, and alew bios
almost inilantly.
Tbe Mexicans lost two hundred men and
three 'pieces of artillery. Tha latter were
thrown into a gully adjoining the town by the
victors, who, after the achievement of their ob-
jret, the dispersion of the enemy, for which they
wert despatched to Huanantla, evacuatea

on the Fucbls road, which they reached with
out opposition, and .there meeting with Gen.
Lane, the combined American forces continued
its march npnn Puebla
Into this city in eteta of insurrection it en
tered in platoons, delivering at every step a con
etant and well-directed fire of musketry, which
ceaaed not until the enemy retreated, and order
was restored in every quarter.
Gen. Rea, of whom w heard so much lately,
fled with 400 guerrillas towards Atlisco.
Gen. Santa Anna was at the last account at
Tehuacan de las Granadai, having been deser
ted by all his follower, with the exception of
two hundred.
A large American train was to have left the
city of Mexico on the 3lat ult., on its way down
to Vera Crux. The escort for its protection is
composed of four or five companies of infantry, a
battery, and some cavalry, under the command
of Col Harney. T J
m a . .
The capital is already teemintJwwTTh hotels,
taverns, billiard rooms, cafes nd theatres, all
advertised in the American style.
Some very severe shocks of earthquake had
been experienced in the capital.
The health of the army i far from being
good. The climate of the valley of Mexico is
not, as it appear, congenial to the constitution
of the South,
It ia just aa enervating and fatal to the Sou
thern, as that of Vera Crux to the Northern
constitutions. The effective force of the eji
e
army ia reduced ten or filteen per cent, in
sequence.
Gen. Persifer F. Smith succeeded Gen. Quit
man as Governor of the city of Mexico. Capt
Nsylor, of the Pennsylvania volunteer, is Go
vernor of the Palace and Keeper of the Ar
chive.
Geus Shields and Quitman will come down
with the train, on their way to the U. States.

Picayune, speaking of Capt. Walker'a death,
says:
Captain W. left the Castle ol Perote in com
mand of three companies, in advance of Gen.
Lane's train. ' Nine miles south of Puebla he
met 000 Mexicans, said to bo under the imme
diate command of Santa Anna. In charging,
Cnpt. W. received a lance wound entirely
through the body, and also lost a leg by a can
non shot 11 is personal antagonist ir. the
charge, and who lanced him, waa a celebrated
guerilla chief. It if said that he had sworn
vengeance against Capt.W. Dut he, fell in
the conflict, and by Walker'a hands, receiving
two bal'.a from his revolver.
Captain Loyall and eighteen men of his com
pany of mounted Georgians, and from six to ten
of the rifles, are also known to have bfen killed
in the charge of Capt. Walker. A man, named
Raborg, of Baltimore, interpreter for Captain
Walker, lost a leg from a discharge of artillery.
Col Wynkoop writes that the Mexicans wore
elanghtered after this like sheep.
The Delta also says: 'Our correspondent,
writing at a later date than the 'Ji)tn ult., gives
the following accouot of the death of Captain
Walker:
The death of Captain Walker is fully confir-
med by a later arrival. It ia stated that he was
shot by a cannon ball from a ma.ked battery, a-
bout 12 miles from the main road, at a point
some lfl leagues from Tuebla. The hall also
killed Capt Loyall, of the Georgia Monnted
Company, and eleven men are also reported to
have been killed in the me ction.'

A letter dated the 12th ult, received at the
capital from Queretaro, says Pena y Pena had
just arrived, in company with a few deputies-,
making the tutal number in the capital about
fifty. It waa thought, says the Star, endea
vors would be made at once to organize a Go
vernment, which would settle the question of
peace or war. If a quorum of Congress could
be assembled, the first question wh ich would be
brought up would be the presidency. Almonte
wa spoken of aa the candidate f Palo and
ome of the Moderados, and Olr guibel, Governor
of the State of Mexico, as tb a candidate of the
opposing partiea. Nearly all the officer of the

said, found it hard to obtain subsistence.
