OUR JIRMY ON ITS NaRcH—
HEJILTH OF VER.4 CRUZ—.4N
TICIPaTED BaTTLE.
FREDERICKSBURG, VB., April 28.
The Southern mail arrived here at 29
minutes past 11 o'clock. The New Or
leans papers have dates from Vera Cruz
to the Bth inst., but they contain nothing
of interest. On that day Generals
Twiggs and Quitman, with their divis
ions, commenced their march to Jalapa.
We learn in addition from our Wash
ington correspondent, who has had more
leisure to look over the New Orleans
papers, by this arrival, that the corres
pondent of the Picayune, confirms the
reports not duly authenticated before, of
the abandonment of the Puente Nacional
by the Mexican forces. They had reti
red to a narrow pass this side of Jalapa,
and fortified it strongly, adding by art
to the natural strength of the position.
It was expected that here the enemy
would make a stout resistance—perhaps
the last desperate effort to repel the vic
torious advance of our army, before the
grand final denouement of the drama of
the war at the Halls of the Montezumas
and the walls of the Capital.
The position thus taken by the Mex
icans was five or six days march from
Vera Cruz----and as all the divisions of
our army left on the Bth, the Picayune
thinks a battle must have come off on
the 14th inst.
Our troops left Vera Cruz in fine Bpi' ,
its, refreshed by a fortnight's rest, after
their severe exertions during the invest
ment of the city. There was little or
no sickness arising from the climate or
nature of the service. The hospital ac
commodations were excellent and the
wounded were all doing well. No death
is recorded as the result of injuries re
ceived. -

The Massachusetts arrived at New
Orleans on the 22d inst., bringing dates
from Vera Cruz to the 14th, with highly
important intelligence.
M. Y. Beach came passenger in her.
The following is from the correspondent
of the Picayune of the 23d ultimo:
CAMP AT SAN JuAN, April 14, 1847,
I arrived in this place at 11 o'clock
last night, the road from Vera Cruz run
ning for the most part through heavy
sands. The Division of Gen. Worth,
from the excessive heat and wearisome
road, suffered incredibly. The news in
camp is stirring. An express has conic
down from Gen. Twiggs to the effect
that Santa Anna was before him, at Cer
re Gordo, with 15,000 men, as near as
could be judged from reconnoisances
made by Capt. Hardy and other officers
of Dragoons.
Lieut. Col. J. E. Johnston had been se
verely, but not mortally wounded, while
examining Santa Anna's works, which
appeared to be a succession of breast.
works on an eminence in the vicinity of
Cerre Gordo. Every thing would now
go to show that Santa Anna is determi
ned to make a bold stand. A Dragoon,
who had been sent down express by
Gen. Twiggs, was yesterday found shot
by the road-side just beyond this. His
papers had not been touched. The Mex
icans are playing a bloody and at the
same time a bolder game than is usual
for them, as it is thought they have kill
ed no less than fifty of our men within
the last three days on the road. Gen.
Scott stopped last night nine miles from
this. To-night he will reach General
Twiggs' position. If Santa Anna is as
represented, lie probably will not be at
tacked before two or three days. 1 write
in great haste. G. W. K.
The following lettere are from the New Orleans
Delta, of the 23tlult:
VERA Cacz, April 13, 1847.
Eos. DELTA—As I stated in my letter
of this morning, the Brigade of General
Worth took up the line of march for Ja
lapa, but' from rather sudden indisposi
tion,the General did not leave with them.
About one o'clock an express reached
him with important information, that the
column of Gen. Twiggs had fallen in
with a large force of the enemy at Cerre
Gorde, a strong position beyond Puente
Nacional and that a skirmish had taken
place between Twiggs' advance guard
and the enemy, in which Captain John
son, Topographical Engineer, was se
verely wounded, and several others.—
In half an hour after the reception of
this news, Gen. Worth had mounted his
horse and was off, so suddenly, indeed,
that I missed him, notwithstanding I re
paired to his quarters to gather the par
ticulars as soon as I heard of it.
There is no doubt at all but that Santa
Anna with from 12,000 to 15,000 men is
between us and Jalapa; it is coneeded
on all sides ; but if Gen. Twiggs does
not whip, he will at least keep him in
check until Gen. Scott, who left yester
day, reaches him, which will be to mor-i
row night. Major Gen. Patterson left
here with two brigades of volunteers on
Friday, and he has no doubt reached the
advance before this hour. Gen. Twiggs
had between 2500 and 2700 men, choice
ones, too, under his command, and I
entertain little fear for his safety. Gen.
Patterson marched with Shields' and
Pillow's brigades, and all the force, ex•
cept the garrison of the towns, and
Quitman's brigade is either at the scene
of action or on the road to it.
Gen. Scott, I think was pretty well
satisfied before his departure, that Santa
Anna was in the neighborhood of Jalapa,
and was making good time towards that
point before the express reached him.—
A terrible battle will be fought at Cerre
Gordo, or little or no fighting. An in
telligent Mexican told me to-night that
there would be no fight, and that Santa
Anna had with him four prominent mem•
bers of the National Congress, with the
aid of whom he hoped to negotiate a
peace. I believe, truly, that it is the
wish of his Excellency to win the strife,
but whether he will embrace the occa•
sion, which by the way, is an excellent
one, I cannot say. The horses of the
Tennessee Cavalry arrived to-day from
Tampico, and as soon as they are landed
I expect Quitman will leave here.
CHAPPARRAL,
VERA CRUZ ANCHORAGE, April 12, 1847.
EDITORS DELTA.—A large detachment
of the squadron leaves for Tuspan, com
manded by the Commodore in person.—
The officers anticipated something of a
fight at that place. It is belieied that
there are upwards of 2,000 troops at that
place, under the command of Gem Cos,
with some 60 pieces of heavy cannon,
all serviceable and in fine order, with
the exception of three. The greater
portion of the army is now on the road
to Jalapa. Rumor has it that Santa Anna
is there with a large force and intends
to dispute the pass near that place. The
romito has not yet made its appearance.
Yours, CREOLE.
The Vera Cruz Eagle, of the 13th
inst., says the reported strength and po
sition of Santa Anna and his forces are
fully credited by both citizens and offi
cers in that city.
Gen. Patterson had recovered from
his illness, and was at the head of his
division.
The only disease prevailing at Vera
Cruz was diarrllira, and great numbers
were sick. Two privates of the First
Regiment Penna. Volunteers had been
tried and found guilty of theft. They
were sentenced to one month's impris
onment in the Castle, and forfeiture of a
month's pay.
(Front the Mailmen's Flog, 17th ult.)
The Castle.—The castle of San Juan
D'Ulloa has undergone a thorough cleans
ing throughout, making it approach
much nearer a place in which an Amer
ican soldier ought to reside. We are
informed that a more filthy place could
scarcely be imagined at the time our
troops took possession.
Execution.—The execution of the col
ored man, Kirk, a citizen of the Unitel
States, convicted of committing a rape
upon the person of a Mexican woman,
and theft, took place on Saturday even
ing last. A large concourse of people
were present to witness the first execu
tion under American authority, which
has ever taken place since our occupa
tion of this country. It will, no doubt,
prove a salutary lesson to many, who
would destroy the safeties guarantied to
good citizens, were not such punish•
meats sometimes inflicted.
Breaking up of General Head-Quar
ters.—Yesterday evening, at 5 o'clock,
Gen. Scott .and his staff left their quar
ters in the Plaza, and started for Jalapa.
They were escorted by Col. Harney's
second dragoons, and will probably be
up with Gen. Twiggs, of the advance,
in two or three days.
alvarado.—The port of Alvarado,
which has been closed for several
months, is now open to our commerce,
and to all neutral vessels not having on
board articles contraband of war.
The Hospital.—Many of our gallant
soldiers are now prostrated by disease,
and the hospitals are filled to overflow
ing with them. The disease most pre
valent is diarrhoea, which in many cases
has proved fatal.
HHEAD•QUARTERS OF THE ARMY,
VERA CREZ, April 11, 184.7.
Major-General Scott, General-in-chief
of the Armies of the United States of
America, to the good people of Mexico:
PROCLAMATION,
Mexicans !—At the head of a power
ful Army, soon to be doubled—a part of
which is advancing upon your capital—
and with another army under Major-Ge
neral Taylor, in march from Saltillo to
wards San Luis Potosi, I think myself
called upon to address you.
Mexicans !—Americans are not your
enemies ; but the enemies for a time of
the men who, a year ago, misgoverned
you and brought about this unnatural
war between two great republics. We
are the friends of the peaceful inhabi
tants of the country we occupy, and the
friends of your holy religion, its hier
archy and its priesthood. The same
church is found in all parts of our own
country, crowded with devout Catho
lics, and respected by our government,
law and people.
For the Church of Mexico, the unof
fending inhabitants of the country, and
their property, I have from the first
done everything in my power to place
them under the safeguard of martial law
against the few bad men in the army.
My order, to that effect, known to
all, are precise and rigorous. Under
them, several Americans have already
been punished, by fine, for the benefit
of Mexicans, besides imprisonment, and
one, for a rape, has been hung by the
neck.
Is this not a prod of good faith and
energetic discipline Other proofs shall
be given as often as injuries to Mexi
cans may be detected.
On the other hand, injuries committed
by individuals, or parties of Mexico,
not belonging to the public forces, upon
individuals, small parties, trains of wag
ons and teams, or of pack mules, or any
other person or property belonging to
this army, contrary to the laws of war,
shall be punished with rigor; or if the
particular offenders be not delivered up
by Mexican authorities, the punishment
shall fall upon entire cities, towns or
neighborhoods.
Let, then, all good Mexicans remain
at home, or at their peaceful occupa
tions ; but they are invited to bring in,
for sale, horses, mules, beef, cattle,
corn, barley, wheat, flour for bread, and
vegetables. Cash will be paid for every
thing this army may take or purchase,
and protection will be given to all sell
ers. The Americans are strong enough
to offer these assurances—which, should
Mexicans wisely accept, this war may
soon be happily ended, to the honor and
advantage of both belligerents. Then
the Americans, having converted ene
mies into friends, will be happy to take
leave of Mexico, and return to their own
country.
WINFIELD SCOTT.
Where are the Polk's ?
In the war with Mexico, why do we
not hear of the Polk'sl During the
Presidential contest, we were told that
the Polk's were a numerous and patriot
ic family ; yet we have not thus far
found the name among the killed or
wounded in the reports of any of the
battles in Mexico. Have none of them
gone out to fight in this " just and right
eous war 1" The Clay's, the Webster's,
the Crittenden's, and hosts of other
" Mexican Whigs," have sent their sons
to aid in extricating their country from
the unnecessary difficulty into which
President Polk has got her. Where are
the Polk's, that their names arc not
found enrolled among their country's de
fenders ? If any of them have buckled
on their armor, let us know it.—Bucks

HORRIBLE AFFRAY.—In Georgetown,
Mercer county, on Tuesday last, there
occurred a desperate and murderous
affray. A man yarned Burr had misused
and beaten his wife, and the neighbors
taking her part, determined to tar and
feather him. They accordingly went to
a house where he was and commenced
an attack. He was supported by a wo
man who was living with him as a par
amour and her friends. They resisted
the attack, and a desperate fight ensued.
The assailants were fifteen in number,
and rather superior to the attacked.
Six persons were wounded in the
affray, four of whom, James Craig,Geo.
Palm, O. W ick, and George Fleuch, it is
supposed will die. Burr himself was
wounded, but it is thought be will re
cover. Burr's paramour, whose name is
Stately, fought in his defence with an
axe, and wounded several. Her father
was among those supposed to be mor
tally wounded. No arrests have been
made.—.A'Orth Jlmerican.
Mr The Washington Union has, in
the performance of its official functions,
descended to much that was contempti
' ble, and more that was ungentlemanly,
unmanly and mendacious. But it has
' shown that there was a lower depth
still to which it could degrade itself, by
the publication of an article from the
Easton Argus, which states that promi
nent Whigs had procured the transla
tion of the Hon. Thomas Corwin's speech
into Spanish, and forwarded numbers of
copies to Mexico, "where it was read by
the multitude, and received with great
cheering." If the receiver of stolen
goods is as guilty as the theif, surely
the same degree of criminality attaches
itself to the retailer as the inventor of
such an infamous fabrication. The
Union is endeavoring to show Virginia
that she was right in refusing the issue
which its editor would have made in
the late election, when it was urged that
"the liberty of the press" and the rejec
tion from the Senate of the government
organ, should be taken up as the watch
words in the old Dominion. The land
of Washington, Madison, Monroe, and,
Taylor has spoken, and endorsed the
Senate's severe rebuke to the imperti
nences of a pensioned court zany.—

DEATH OF HORSES.—We are inform
ed, that within a few days a species of
gnat, or an insect closely resembling
the common gnat, has made its appear
ance in the American Bottom, opposite
this city, which has produced the death
of a number of horses. The insect in
serts into the nostrils, ears, and under
the skin of the horse, and by the sting,
and blood which they extract, produce
death in an incredible short time.--
V% hen the gnat is taken out from the
skin of the horse it is found swollen to
a very large size and full of blood. We
are told that a drover a few days ago,
lost five out of six horses, from this
cause.--St. Louis Republican.
FOREIGN NEWS.
ARRIVAL OF THE SARAH SANDS,
TWO DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE,
The arrival of the Sarah Sands at
New York, on the 29th ult,, brings two
,days later news from Europe, The pa.
pers contain the following items of in
telligence :
IRELAND
The Cork Examiner says : " One
hundred and seventy-five persons died
in the work-house for the week ending
Monday, March 29. There are at pre
sent 5224 in the house, and 628 in the
hospital. The Crown Solicitor for Cork
says that the anxiety of the prisoners at
the assize for that county is, not that
they should be acquitted, but that they
should be found guilty ! The learned
gentletnan has made a report to that ef
fect to government. The jails of the
county are crowded by a class of offen
ders created by the famine."
The following is an extract of a letter
dated Dublin, April 3 :—" There appears
to be much less of actual famine, al
though extreme destitution still pre
vails in various districts, but generally
throughout the country pestilence is at
work, and in the work-houses typhus
fever exists to an alarming extent."
The number of Irish who came from
Ireland into Liverpool, during the month
of March, is 50,100; 3500 came over
last Sunday. The expense of main
taining then, is between £6OO and £7OO
per week. Large sheds, capable of
holding between 400 and 500 fever pa
tients, have been hired in Great How
ard street, at a rent of £BOO per an
num, and additional fever sheds are to
be built near the Fever Hospital.
FRANCE
We learn by a communication made
by M. Dubois, the deputy of Havre, to
the Chamber of Commerce of that place,
that a clause to the following effect will
be embodied in the forthcoming law on
customs, viz :—All bar iron, sheet iron,
zinc, (whether rolled or not) hemp and
flax, if to be used in the construction or
repair of French merchant vessels, may
be brought into the country free of duty.
ITALY,
The alarm and agitation created at
Rome by the establishment of the cen
sorship have been considerably tran
quilized by the character of the individ
uals who are to exercise its functions.
Contrary to what was expected, the
board is composed chiefly of the laiety,
and of individuals known for their en
lightened and moderate opinions. They
are the Marquis Antici, the Abbe Coppi,
and MM. Betti and Vannutelli, the lat
ter a lawyer.
[From the Liverpool Times, April 6.]
THE CORN TRADE.
The condition of the trade and com
merce of the country during the first
quarter of the present year, has been far
from favorable, and though the last ar
rivals bring the gratifying news of a
very decided improvement in the Ame
rican and Eastern markets, yet we fear
that the progress of amelioration will
be slow, until the result of the next har
vest is ascertained. Should it realize
the hopes that we are justified in found
ing on the great increase in the quanti
ty of wheat and spring corn sown in
this country; on the fineness of the seed
time, both in the Autumn of last year,
and the spring of the present, and on
the present appearance of the young
wheat in many districts, we shall then
obtain effectual relief. We are not, in
deed, in the number of those who be
lieve that one good harvest will give us
low prices, and still less of those who
believe that we shall see low prices pre
vious to that harvest; but still we are I
convinced that the high prices which
our farmers have obtained for their last
year's grain, joined to that thorough
frightening which they got during the
great corn-law battle, have roused them
to exertions such as they never made
before, and that they have already pro
duced a great improvement in English
agriculture, the effects of which will be
felt in the next harvest.
If we may judge from what we have
ourselves seen, during a tour through
Lancashire, Cheshire, the West Riding
of Yorkshire, Westmoreland and Cum
berland, we should say there is this year
a great increase in the extent of tillage
and draining, and great improvements
in the mode of laying out fields, and of
performing all manner of farming ope
rations. The quantity of land sown
with wheat appears to us to be greater
than we ever knew it to be before; there
is a sufficient plant in the ground, and it
presents every appearance of health.—
Should this promise of increase in the
home supply be realized, a good har
vest would give us a return of moderate,
though not of low prices.
p , - The New York Express states
that a gentleman of that City has recei
ved a letter from Mr. Clay which con
cludes with the following noble allusion
to the fall of his son at Buena Vista:
6 , My life has been full of domestic
affliction, but this last is one of the se
verest among them. 1 derive some con
solation from knowing that he died
where lie would have chosen, and where,
if I must lose him, I should have pre
ferred ; on the battle-field in the service 1
of his country.
LAWFUL REVENGE.—Many years ago
a gentleman in Newington, a parish of
Weathersfield, Connecticut, who was a
very religious and conscientious man s
married one of the most ill natured and
troublesome women he could find ill the
vicinity. This occasioned universal stirs
prise wherever he was knoivn, and one
of his neighbors ventured to ask hitti
the reasons which had governed his
choice. He replied that, having had but
little trouble in the world, he was fearful
of becoming too much attached to the
things of time and sense s and thought
by experiencing sonic afflictions ; he
should become more weaned from the
world s and he married such a woman as
he thought would accomplish his object.
The best part of the story is, that his
wife, hearing the reason why he mar
ried her, Was much offended, and out of
revenge became one of the most pleas ,
ant and dutiful wives in the town s decla•
ring that she was not going to be a pack ,
horse to carry her husband to heaven,
Too FOND OF TITLES.--A few days
since several members of the legislature
representing some of the interior coun
ties of this State were at a boarding
house in this city, where at the table
they displayed what was deemed by
some of the other boarders an anti-dem
ocratic fondness for honorary titles. In
addressing each other the style would
be :
"Will the Honorable member from
Chautauque hand me the butter ?"
" W ill the Honorable gentleman from
Otsego be kind enough to pass me the
vinegar 1" _
"Certainly sir, we may expect some
thing sharp from the Honorable mem
ber from Chetiango l"
A Down East clerk becoming uneasy
under this display of empty honors,
called out in a loud sarcastic tone to the
black waiter :
" Will the Honorable gentleman from
Africa be kind enough to pass the bread'!"
The laughter that ensued may be im
agined. The horiorables were hence•
forth silent.—True Sun.
