Porter, of Easton, de livered a very able lecture on "Mental Improve ment as applicable to the Mechanic Arts," in the Court-house in Stroudsberg, on Wednes day evening of last week. We droped in at an early hour and were highly gratified to see a deep and (audible interest excited in refer ence to the subject, as was most clearly verified by the large, respectabte and intelligent audito ry that had assembled to participate in the in tellectual feast. We will not attempt a synop sis, bat be content with saying that it was a chaste, elegant and highly instructive discourse and worthy the pre-eminent abilities of the distinguished speaker. In the cultivation of the mind was recognised the grand principle conservative of the best interests of men and which has a powerful bearing upon all the economical relations of life, and when applied to the Mechanic Arts, or in other words- when science is linked with her twin-sister inventive genious, the condition of our race is not only ameliorated by the astonishing devetopements of this union, but man is elevated to that high and lofty remove designed by his Creator. The truth of what is here stated, is apparent when we cast our eyes around us and behold the splendid creations of civilized life, which not only please us with the beauty and order of their conception and design, but interest us by their varied and complicated structure and as tonish ua by the magnitude of their results. We cannot but admire the many triumphs of Science and Art at the present day, and each brilliant achievement seems but the shadowing forth of another frought with atill deeper inter est, and capable of more magnificent results. The Mechanic and Artist, likewise those who delight to wander in the flowery paths of sci ence, are by these developements stimulated to nobler action and impelled forward with in creased ardor in their highly honorable pursuits The speaker at the close of the discourse urged upon young Mechahics the importance of men tal culture, and cited a number of instances where Mechanics by close application had ac quired a fame more lasting than that of cotem porary warriors and statesmen. Iudeed every young Mechanic should hold the cultivation of his mind not as a matter of secondary import ance but one of the greatest moment remem bering the words of Bulwer, that "In. the-Lexicon of youth which fate reserves For a bright manhood, there i3 no such word As fail. and bearing in mind that by application hun dreds have arisen fiom the humbler walks of life to become stars of the first magnitude, and of peculiar brilliancy in the constellation of great men.

IwiggS'The Killed and Wounded Herrera appointed to the Command of the Mex ican Army Santa Anna denounced as a Trai torContribution of $150,000 levid on the Capitol. Washington, October 20. The steamer Fashion arrived at New Or leans on the 1 3th, with late and important news from Gun Scott's army. The Picayune con tsins Mi. Cchdall's letters to September 28ih dated al ciiy of Mexico. The news is glo rious. Gen. Scoti is in full possession of the city, but our losses are severe, and the details of killed and wounded heart-rending. Thank God, says the Picayune, none of our Generals are killed,, bm Maj. General Pillow and 'Gen. Shilds were both wounded, but. were doing well at last accounts, I the battler of King's Mills, seven hundred men were killed and wounded. Gen Worth's division lost about 600 in killed and wounded, in the battle of ihe 13th. In the storming of Chapultepec and the attack on the Citadel, Quitman's division lost 300; Twiggs' division lost 268; Gen: Pillow's division lost 142, and Gorth's lost 138, making the total loss 848 in all. Gen. Worth had scarcely lOOOmen in this action. Our entire loss, since leaving Pue bla, in killed and wounded, Mr. Kendall sets down at full 3000 another authority makes it 4000 and yet Gen. Scott entered the valley of Mexico with only a little exceeding 10,000 men. What wonders these 10,000 men have achieved! The Picayune says lhat Cols. Mcintosh and Cranson, Lieut. Col. Martin Scott, Lieut. Col. Graham, of the ?th Infantry, Lieut. Col. Bax ter, of the New York regiment, have ail been killed. The Mexican accounts, representing that we were at any time seriously repulsed, are not true. The Mexican loss is not definitely as certained, but was enormous. General Bravo was not killed, as stated, but was taken pris oner. We dot see that Santa Anna was wounded, but he has resigned the Presidency and gone to Toluca with only 500 men. Herrera was at Querratoro. The most of the American deser ters were hung, but Riley was only flogged. Cassius M. Clay and others of ihe American prisoners had joined Gen. Scott. After taking the capitol, Gen. Scott issued the following order from the National Palace. "The General-in-Chief calls upon his breth ren in arms to return both in public and private worship thanks and gratitude to God for. the glorious and signal triumphs which they have achieved for their country, beginning with the 9th of August and ending on the 14th of Sep tember. This army has gallantly fought its way through the fields of forts of Contreras, San Antonio, Cherubuscoy Moleno, Del Rey, Chepultepec and the gales of San Gosler and Tacubava, and the capita of Mexico. When be very limited numbers who have performed these brilliant deeds shall have become known, the world will be astounded and our country' men filled with joy and admiration. 'Bui all is not yet done. The enemy, tho scattered and dismayed, has still many frag ments of his late army hovering about, aided by an exasperated population. He may be again re-umied in treble our numbers, and fall upon us to their advantage, if we rest inactive in the security of past victories compactness, vigi lance and discipline, are therefore our only se curities. "Let every good officer and man strictly re gard these cautions, and .enjoin them upon all others. By command of Major Gen. Scott. Gen. Quitman was appointed Governor of (he citv of Mexico. Gen. Scott had levied a con- tribution m the corporation of the capitol of $150,000, to be paid within three weeks. American papers have been issued in the ci ty of Mexico already. Rumor says that Col. Mcintosh had died of his wounds, rhe total loss, according ro the Delia, is 1600 killed, besides the wounded. Herrera has been appointed Commander of the Mexicon army, and Santa Anna has been de nowiced as a traitor. KiUed'-'Maj. L. Twiggs. Capt A. Vanolinda, and Gapt. E. Merrill. Wounded- -Majors C A.

The government has not yet received the offi cial account of the battles of Contreras and Cherubosca, to say nothing of the battle of Cha pultepec and the Capfuro of the Capitol. The cause of this delay is readily explained, in the fact that the route between Vera Cruz and the Capitol was thronged with Guerillas. Our la test authentic dales from the capitol are to the 1 6th of September, if we except the letter which was published jn the N. Y. Sun under date of the 19th. Thus it is exactly a month to-day, since tne orate of bar last positive intelligence from the army. The rumors rhat have reached us through La Patria of New Orleans, and the Arco Iris, of Vera Cruz, are of a truly exciting and alarming character. Doubtless these state ments are grossly exagerated, and yet we can not but fear that they are not wholly unfounded, It should be remembered that these various ver sions are, some of them at least, dated as late as September 24th, by way of Tampico. The most alarming story is lhat related in a letter from Tampico, in which it is stated that afier Gen Scott took possession of the capitol, an insurrection of the population occurred, in the course of which they killed a detachment of 1500 Americans. Furiher, that Santa Anna on hearing this, returned to the city with 10 000 men and 25 pieces of artillery ; whereupon another battle ensued, the issue of which- was not known. In addition to this we have a ru mor that Gen. Rea, had re-captured Puebla, upon which the American army were firing irom me surrounding heignvt. we repeat these statements are doubtless exageratedj but there may be some foundation for them.
