The express ot to day fnun New Or lean con
taint paper ot the 4ih and 5th instant.
The account given of th magnificent pro.
evasion in honor of tJen. Taylor, which took
I lace on the 31 ult., ehow that it waa in evert
way worthy of the nccaaion, and what might
have been expected from the enthoiatic and
exeit i hie character of tho population of the Crc
cent Ci'y.
ll landed at the Place d'Armea amid the
thunders of artillery, salute of one hundred
gun havii! been fired from each of the public
square. In reply to the invitation of the May
or to become the fftieat of the city, the gallant
hero made a brief but appropriate reply. From
the landing he psrwd through the Place d'Arme,
in which a triumphal arch had been erected,
and entering the Cathedral, immediately oppo
aite, he Intoned to an appropriate addreaa from
Bishop 6I no. Gin. Taylor replied in an elo
quent minncr. A grand TV Deum waa then
aung by a full choir, accompanied by powerful
bend of instrumental performere.
On the conclusion of the aervicea, the proces
sion waa formed and inoveJ through the princi
pal etreetii of the city, according to previoue ar
rangements. The General waa eacorted to the
St. Charlea Motel, where he took up hiaquar
tera.
The St. Chtrlea Hotel waa brilliantly illumi
naled, and in front of the gentlemcu'a parlor a
transparency of the General, in hi old brown
coat, waa exhibited, having lor the motto, MA
little more grape, Capt. Brepg."
A splendid dinner took place the aame even
ing at the St. Charlea Hotel, which wit given
in honor of the General. Grand diapliy of fire
work were given doring the evening, and the
city 'a guest, with hia suit, viaited the theatrea,
which were crowded to overflowing on the oc
casion. On the 4th, the preaentation of the aword vo
ted to General Taylor. by the Legialature of
Louisiana waa made, accompanied by moat in
tercs'ing ceremonies. The weapon wa pre
sented by Governor Johnson, in long and moat
eloquent and enthusinntic speech. The reply of
the General waa brief, but at the aanie time ve
ry appropriate and eloquent.
General Taylor waa to leave on the morning
of the 5th inatant, on board of the ateatner Alia
nouri, for Memphis.
From the New Orleana Mercury, of Saturday,
the 4tb init., we copy the fallowing graphic de
scription of the events of the day : .
The manner in which Gen. Taylor waa yester
ilny received, mint have been gratifying to the
old hero. The heart of New Orleana waa bound
in; with exultation at bi approach, and enthusi
astic waa tha welcome, aba gave him. It wa a
reception such as a great and free people could
S'tve grand and imposing, without pomp or
show, and respectful without formality. The
cne which presented itself when the Mary
tiingsland neared tho wharf waa affecting from
its sublimity. Along the shorea of the Missis
sippi, far as tha eye coold reach, gay streamers
floated on tba breeze fron) ships of every nation,
and the water of tba river wa tossed in foam
from Lafayette to tha farthest extremity of the
city, by the innumerable steamboats which were
then limning in every direction. The sh:p A
rnerita, that had moved immediately after tha
Mary Kingiland in the aquatic procession, floated
sln.vly down the river, and the music which wa
borne to the ear from the ier of every steam
boat, was occasionally unheard in the loud boom
of the cannon, and the wild shouts from the shore.
The streets, housetops, and the deck and yarda
of every vessel within sight, were darkened with
human forms, and high above the mas of heada
ro the triumphal arch in the Place d'Armes,
with tha sunbsama playing on the worda Wel
come" and "Buena Vista," which were inscribed
in letter of gold.
He whoie presence had called that mighty
mass together, aud created such commotion on
th bosom of the Mississippi, stood calmly but
evidently affected at this glorious manifestation
nf the feeling which Louisiana entertaina for the
distinguished citizen. There was something fine
in tha face of the old taan as be stood gazing on
the scene a ahade, bearing the aemblance of
pride, would occasionally aettle on hia brow ;
but the feeling which gave expression of his kind
ind manly countenance, and touched its every
'me with tendernesa.waa that of lova and grati
tude. Kis toils and atrifc, the glory d dangera
of battle, aud all which h has endured and a-
rhieved, were apparently forgotten h atood
hefor hi country with tha kindness and tender-i-ssofefhild
in bia heart, and ber arma were
open to receive him.
When tha old man landed, tha cbeara which
pealed from the assembled thousand were elec
trifying j and the Committee of Arrangements,
who had flattered themselves that they could
move in procession after the General, were scat
tered in a moment among tha crowd, who evin
ced tha greatest anxiety to touch tba old hero'a
clothes, or even to see him. Thar wa wel
come beaming, in every face that looked upon
him, and he wa conducted to the triamphal arch,
where ha wa met by the Mayor amid acclama.
tions which were actually deafening. The May
or addressed him thus :
General In behalf of the city of New Orleans,
which I hava tlie honor to represent on this oc
ration, it ia toy pleas inn office to welcome yoar
happy return to your country and your borne;
and in behalf of tha Municipal Councila, I tender
to you tba hospitality of this city, while it ia
your pleasure to i amain among us.
Ne circumstance could bar filled oar bearta
with mora joy than wa new feel, in having tha
opportunity to expresa to you our gratitude for
tha distinguished services you have rendered our
country. Tha brilliant achievements performed
ia Mexico by the fearleei and dariug band that
I " m 1 . - J ... i . J J
you bava led en from viet-ry to victory, bavs
inspired u with feeling which no language i
sufficiently powerful to convey. For such
rbievementa, General, every, true American
heart, from one extremity to tbe other of. thl
Republic, ia filled with gratitmleand admiration.
Wherever you direct your steps, npon any apot
where the tftr tpangled banner triumphantly ex
pand Ita folda to tha breeze, you will find a na
tion' love to greet you you will hear a whole
people's tpontatieotia applause to extol tba splen
dor of your deeds, which your modesty would in
vain endeavor to weaken in your own eyea;
Again, General, Ibid you a hearty Welcome
it the name of all the eitiren of New Orleana
To thia the General responded, briefly, thus :
Mr. Mayor The welcome which I meet thia
day from the people of New Oi leans, announced
by you, their honored representative, overwhelms
me with feeling which no word can express.
You hava been pleased to quality, vrith terms
of the hixheat approbation, the services of the
army which I have hud the honor to command in
Mexico. Could those brave officer and soldiers,
whose gallantry achieved the sucress to which
you refer, be present on this occasion, and wit
nes the grand outpouring of gratitnd which
their devotion has solicited, the measure of my
satisfaction would be complete. For them and
for myself, I thank, from my heart, tha people of
New Orleans, and accept, Mr. Mayor, the offer
of their hospitality.
This simple but interesting formality over,
General Taylor proceeded towards the Cathedral,
and opinion seem, to b unanimous that tbe
scene which there presented itselt was the grand
est of the dny. Every avenue leading to the
church waa thronged with the several societies
and fire companies, who were often pushed from
their position by the motion of the mighty masa
of people ; but there was no contention, no strife,
all were united for one grand purpose, and it
would have been difficult to destroy the unanimi
ty of feeling which prevailed. The beautiful
women of New Orleana graced the scene, and
fair bands waved a welcome to the brave.
When the dooia of the church were thrown open,
it wa filled almost intaneouly, and thousands
were disappointed in the hopes of admission
tbey bad entertained.

The New York paper give tho following
particulars of the melancholy death of Dr. Wain
wright from the bite nf a anake ;
On Thursday afternoon Pr. XV. received
from brother in law in Alabama, through one
of the packi te, a number nf rare pUnte, Ate,
the product ione of that section of the Union
nd, probably, for the purpose ot furniehinj a
aubject for more scientific experirnente, a rat
tlesnake, fix feet long, waa contained in the
invoice.
Tbe reptile waa securely boxed, but it see me
that Dr. XV., for the purpose of exhibiting it to
aome frienda in the evening, took the box to the
Broadway House, corner nf Grand and Broad
way, where, knocking off the top, the anake
waa let loose npun the bar room floor. Throw
ing itae'f into a coil, the dangeroue creature
immediately commenced that low hum, or ape
ciea of ringing, (not the rattle.) which ia pecu
liar to the apex ea, and seemed inclined to re
main quiet , probably the change of climate
produced a sort of torpor, and it waa repeatedly
teaaed with a stick, without betraying much vi
eiousnees. Indped, one gentleman ventured so
far as tu raiae it with the toe of hi boot, esca
ping unscathed.
After being exposed some twenty minutes to
the gaze of those present, PagXX'ainrif.'ht at
tempted to return the anake to the box, and for
that purprwe inconsiderately cixd the Venn
mona thing with hia nakkd Hand! when, in an
inatant, with only the slightest premonitory rat
tie, the reptile raiaed hia head, threw back his
upper jaw, and ant iky the fangs entering be
twfen tbe fingera, and fastening on the inaide
of tha ring-finger of the right hand ! Immedi
ale measure were taken to prevent the spread
of poison through theeyrtem. The flesh in the
neighborhood of the wounded part waa cut out,
and Dr. XX'einright removed to hi house in
Crosby street, where other medical and eurgi
cat aid waa called; without delay, and in a few
minutea the room waa filled with hia pmfea
ional frienda, among whom were Dra. XVhitta
ker, Parker and Caldwell, or the Institute.
Energetic means were made use of to counteract
the effect of the venom, but unaccountably, all
known remedies seemed to be of no avail, and
the entire arm commenced ewi-iling wot fear
fully. At thia juncture we are informed that
Dr. XX'ainright, with much presence of mind,
begged to haveun amputation of the whole arm
performed, but, after consultation, this course
waa deemed inadvisable, and the victim, endu
ring the moat excruciating agony, continued to'
aink, and finally expired at half an hour alter
midnight the lamp of life going not at laat qui
etly, and with, apparently, no struggle.
The unhappy man aeeined to ptisacsa hia full
faculties almost to the laat moment, and waa
perfectly aware of the fate to which ho waa in
evitably hastening. Some fifteen minutes be
fore hia doceaae, turning to a friend who waa
eupporting hi-n, Hhie ia horrible I" aaid he, aa
he felt the extreme pain leaving his hand, and
the aensation of ease slowly creeping tip the
arm from the seat of the wound "this i horri
ble ! to know that death ia gradually feeling
hi way to my vitals ! that arm ia dead alrea
dy I and" placing the uninjured hand over hia
heart "the deatrnyer will soon be hero I J"
Thia acute knowledge of hi sure diaaoiution,
which, aa a medical man, he mint have pos-
aeaeed, could have been oought else than truly
tearlul.
The body, after death, presented the usual
appearance of decease from the bite of those
hideoua reptiles, it being frightfully swollen and
mouieu.

of th Message ' ' I ! :
Tba trad and tonnage of th United States St
rpidly increasing, and will, in no distant time,
be the largest in the world. '
A tax on tea and coffe is recommended, as a
war tax.
Th coinage at the mint and ita branches, thia
year, exceeds twenty millions of dollars. A
branch mint ia recommended at New York,
Ten millions of acre of the public lands will
ba ready for th market in ISIS. A graduation
and reduction of tbe price ia recommended. The
extension of the right of pre em pt ion Is also re
commended. ...,:
The organization of a territorial government
in Oregon ia recommended. Granta of land to
be given to aettterk To preserve peace among
the Indiana west nf the Rocky Mountains, a num
ber of agenta should be appointed ' '
Our relations with Indian tribes are mostly a
micable. Several thousand, during the year,
wer removed west of the Mississippi. The
feud of the Cherokee have subsided. Among
some the bible srbool ar incressing and agricul
ture improving
The operations of the navy in the Gulf of Mex
icnare highly commended.
In addition to the four war ateamers authors
zed by this act. the Secretary of tbe Navy has
in pursuance of its provisions, entered into con
tracts for the construction of five steamera, to
be employed in the transportation of th United
Statea mail "from New York "to New Orleana
touching at Charleston, Savannah, and Havana,
and from Havana to Chagrea;" for three stea
mers to be employed in like manner from Pana
ma to Oregon, "ao aa to connect with the mail
from Havana to Chagres across the isthmus;"
and for live steamera to be employed in like man
ner from New York to Liverpool. These stea
mera will ne tba property of the contractor but
are to be bpilt "under the iitperintendance and
direction of a naval constructor in the employ of
the Navy Department, and to be constructed as
to render them convertible, at tba least possible
expense, into war steamera of the first c'ass "
A prescribed number of naval officers, as well
as a posi omce agent, are ro oe on board ot them ;
and authority is reserved to the Navy Depart
ment at all time to "exercise control over said
steamship." and "to have the right" "to take
them for the exclusive use and aervire of the
United Statea" "upon making proper compensa
tion to tbe contractora therefor."
Tbe inculcation of union and harmony, aa re
commended by Washington, is referred to as im
portant to our welfare. .
Tbe recent difficulty with the Brazilian go
verument, which threatened the peace of the two
countriea, ia referred to but hopes are entertai
ned that it will be speedily adjusted.
Our relation with the Independent Powera of
South America bava been maintained. Tba
time baa arrived, however, when the many
claims of American citizens againt these nations
ought to be adjusted.
The government of Peru baa paid tbe two first
instalments ((30,000 each together with most of
the interest) in accordance with the agreement of
the two gov'ts made at Lima in 1846.
The attention of Congress is directed to tbe
condition of our citizens in China. Americans
there ar aubject to no law whatever, and he
thinks measurea should be adopted by Congress
to try and punish crimes, aud for the enforce,
ment of contracts against American ritizena in
that country.
Estimates have been submitted by the Secre
tary of Ftate to defray the expenne of opening
negotiations with the papal states, and for the
outfits and aalariea of charges d'affaires to tbe
Republics nf Bolivia, Gautemala and Ecuador.
An appropriation is recommended to be made.
to be paid to the Spanish gov't for tba purpose of
distribution among the claimenta in "the Amis
tad case."
Our commercial and navigating intereata are
represented as rapidly increasing and eminently
prosperous.
The Warehnuaing aystem is said to work well,
and the Sub-Treasury has proved to be a aafe a-
geney, in his opinion, in keeping and disbursing
the public moneys.
The operations of tha Mint and the public
lands are referred to.
The immediate organization of territorial
government in Oregon ia urged.
Pari fie relations continue to exist with the va
rious Indian tribea.
07" Postagb on resB W are glad to see
that Richard M Broadhead, of Northampton, haa
already made a move in Congress to restore tbe
law in relation to conveying newspaper free
under thirty miles. The present law ia one of
the most odious and unjust on tha atatute book.
It taxra the country press for tha benefit of the
large, monopolising publishers of the city. Pos
tage on newspapera y ielda but a very small reve
nue, while the injury inflicted ia incalculable.
Th correspondent of tbe Baltimore American
Ihinka the present law will not be repealed. Tbia
ia wbat aome of tha city publishers would like.
We however feel assured that it will ba repealed,
and if tha membera of Congress from the coun
try are true to their constituents, thai can be
no deubt of it.

XVe publish below the following humorou let
ter from Weier Zeigler, who left this place with
Lieut. Martin, for Mexico, last March. His nu
merous friends (for we believe he had no enemies)
know how to appreciate the qnaint humor of the
writer, who left here in rather a desponding
mood. We wer, however, well satisfied, that
if Weiaer could not find some fun in fighting
Mexican, there was no nse in any on else at
tempting it. Like President Polk, however, and
other good democrats, ha ia in favor of the ''one
term" principle.
Citt or Mrxiro, Oct 91th, 1847.
Mr D E 4 geaa you never received a
letter from Mexico yet, and so I will just lay
down my rifle and sword for a few minute, and
cribbl you a line or two. But really, my friend,
I have been uaing th gun ao long among the
"greasets" beta in Mexico, that I handle a pen
rather awkwardly ; atill, if you can make out
my inkling, why I am satisfied, and if you can't, j
why just lay thia letter to one aid till I drop
down among you folks in Sunbuty some of thesa
full moons, and 111 read it for you. Well, here
I am, aale and sound, (except a bad cold,) in tha
ancient and magnificent eity of Mexico arrived
hereon the 14th of list month, after giving the
Mexirana ' b I" at Contrerns, Charubusco

We had hot work of it, aa they bad an army
three timea our number, end occupied all the beat
positions of defence with their cannon. At Con
treroa, one thousand of tit licked six thousand of
them, took four hundred prisoners and 34 pieces
of heavy artillery, in just seventeen minutes by
the watch. That I call doing up the Mexican
killing business in a little less than no time. I
was in the very hottest of all the battles, but no
bullet wss ever moulded to hit me. and so I es
sraped unhurt. Cood luck in a battle is worth
more than a f sod farm.
Thia ia a great country, if the priests and lice
were only sent to Botany Fay or some other out i
of the way place. The priests are thicker than
fiddlers down in that bad place tbat the preach-
ers talk so much about. They wear long robes.
with their heads shaved an the top, and a hat big
enough for a country school home, with a play
ground round the brim for the children. There
are a great many pretty women here, but aa I
cannot talk Spanish like a native I stsnd no more
chance among them than a poor boy at a husking.
Tbia ia the greatest place for beggars I ever saw.
It aerms to me that more than half the people
have but one leg or one arm or or.e eye, or some
thing ia wrong, for the beggara are at every cor
ner. Business is very brisk, and the gamblers
and groggery keepers are making their eternal
fortunes out of us soldiers. Several men are
found murdered on the street every morning, and
when a Mexican is caught with any fire arms or
knife about him, we hurry him off to the guad
house in double quick time, I tell you. We have
a theatre and rircua every night, and by way of
spending Sunday afternoon to good advantage
there is a bull-fight to be seen uptown for a quar
ter. Two bulls don't fight, bot a man with a
long spear in bia band, on horseback, attacks a
wild bull, and then they have it, rpucb and tum
ble. Last Sunday one man, three bulls and two
horses were killed for our amusement.
, I cannot tell when thia war will end, nor when
we will be discharged. I guess one term soldiei
ing will satisfy me, unless I am made a general,
which I don't think likely at present. We live
on bread, beef, beans, rice, coffee, randies, soap
and vinegar, and occasionally a small sprinkling
of speck or mutton strong enough to bear an iron
wedge. I manage to gt along pretty well, as I
generally have a few dimea to buy butter, eggs,
&c. XVe have pltasant quarters, always eicept
ing the lice, and we are to have a meeting next
week, to determine whether they or ua have the
best right to the building. We were much alar
med by a violent shock of an earthquake on the
5d of this rnonth ; old mother earth rolled back
and forth tike a dutch baby in a cradle, and many
of us thought it wss notice to come up to the
court above, and answer for onr bad doings. I
am satisfied to fight Mexicans, but I can't atand
earthquakes, that ia running thine Mo the
