FROM THE ARMY. The American Arms Vi . ctorious iii two Battles I • Majors BROW . N 4 RINGGOLD dead—Ge/i• Veja taken Prisoner— Votal Mfeat 4f the Enemy with heart/ loss, and Cap ture of their Snimunition, 4-e. • By the New Orleans papers of the 17th inst. -we have mportant intelligence front the Army of Oe •upation on the R. Grande. There have been two engagements be tween Gen. Taylor and Mciican troops - , the first occurring on the Bth inst., when Gen. Taylor was returning from Point Is abel to his camp opposite 'Mattithoras.— "In•this'lloc Mexicans, numbering from 3,- - 000 -to 5,000, were repulsed, our army sleeping ori the field of battle, on which next day 200 Mexicans were found dead, and several' eees - ef artillery, stores, &c., were captured by the Americite army,— Major Ringgold. died from a Wound receiv ed in this action. Of the second battle - we can only give the following particulars from the Picayune. The U. S. steamer, Col. Harney, arri • ved this morning just as our paper was go ing to press, from Brazos Santiago. She left on the 13th inst. The news is glori ous to our arms. She brings official ac counts of a second battle between the Mex ican and the American forces, which took place on the oth of May, commencing at half past 3 P. M., within three miles of Camp Taylor. The action was on the edge of a ravine, and one mile from the chapparal, which was near 12 miles in width. The Mexicans commenced the action with their artillery, which was post ed so- as to sweep a narrow passage through which Gen. Taylor was advancing, there being a swamp on the other hand. Gen. Taylor immediately ordered a charge in the teeth of the enemy's destruc tiVe fire, and the troops promptly re:Tond ing.c?rried the enemy's guns at the pint. of the bayonet.. So sudden and impetu- Otis was the attack that Gen. Arista had no time to save his papers, which, with all his correspondence, fell into the hands of Gen. Taylor. The action lasted one hour and a half, in which time six hundred Mexicans were killed or wounded, and a number taken prisoners, with several pieces of artillery. The Americans lost in the action about 'sixty-two killed . and wounded. Major Brown died from a wound received by the bursting of a himnb while gallantly defend ing the entrenched camp, against the al most incessant llombardinent by thCcne my's batteries.. . The total loss of the Mexicans in both actions was - estimated at from 1000 to 1200'. That of the Americans at from 110 to _l3O. . . Among the prisoners taken by Gen. Taylor was Gen. Vein, who was taken while in the act of tiring'one of the guns of the battery which he commanded. An exchange of prisoners of equal rank was Made, by which captain Thornton and Lientents. Hardee and Lee have. been re stored to our Army. We learn that about 175,000 rounds of musket cartridges, 500 pack mules with their saddles and camp equipage, were ta ken in the action of the oth instant. The American soldiers (bank the Mexican's liquor, smoked their cigars, eat their bread and beef which they were Just in the act of cooking when the engagement took place. Gen. Taylor reached his camp the af ternoon of the action, 'leaving there his whole foree. He started the next mpra ing for Point Isabel, and arrived there on .the evening of the lath, without molesta tion. He was expected to leave again for the camp on the 13th with such rein forcements as might have arrived up to that time, with the view of making an at tack upon Hatamoras—when a decisive action was anticipated,.as Gen. Parede w'as advaneingito the support of that City with a very large Army. The News *fully Confirmed ! PARTICULARS OF THE TWO BATTLES irr-Late dates from New Orleans fully confirm the general correctness of the above intelligence. The subjoined lotter from the ecene of operations _to the Di• 0. Bulletin gives a clear and circum stantial statement of e , yents since . Gen. Taylor's .departure from Point !Sabel on the 7th inst. The accounts are brilliant beyond the most sanguine expectations; the triumph of American arms is complelt ; a vastly superior force is muted through a series of actions as brilliant as any on record, displaying in our brave handful of troops, and their illustrious Commander, the very highest points of military courage, skill and kno:vledge. POINT Ismum, May 12th, 1846. By the last departure I wrote you briefly of the operations of the army up to that time—of the bombardment of the fort op posite Matainotas, and the 'moved - tent of Gen. Taylor with the main body to this place, for the purpose of strengthening its defences. Having effected this, he march. red, without waiting fur reinforcements, on .the evening of the 7th, and on the Bth at -Iwo o'clock, found the enemy posted in front of a thaparal, which lies opposite to the timber of a stream called Palo Alto. •'. The . train was closed up,. the troops fill ell their canteens, and Gen. Taylor prompt 15' formed his line of battle as follows: • on right . was Ringgold's battery, sth and :ad Infantry ; then two eighteen pounders . ; then the artillery battalion..

The itencral brovglit up his troops by batallions and posted them, with brief; orders to find tLe eneun:. - with the has•onet,, and ',laced eh- altillery where they critic' act. in the road. • The dragoons were held in reserve, and as soon as the advance of our line had tin covered the -Mosican hatteriec, Gen. Tay , : for told Capt. May. that his time bad come ; '"Here's the enemy's batteries, sir—take it nolems . r010m , .." May dashed upon it with his siaadron, aryl lost:one third of it, but lie cleared the battery and captured its commander, C.tren.-Ve ,, a, in the act of rais ing a port tire to fire a piece himself. May took his sword and brought the General off. The enemy re-manned the guns, and . lost them a second time to the sth Infant ry. Capt. flarboiir, of the •.td Infantry, with his single company and a few uteri from the sth, who joined him in the chap aral, threw his back against . a clump of hushes and received and gallantly repell ed a charge of cavalry. Capt. Duncan with his battery, did terrible execution—he is a most promising officer. Lieut. Ridg ly was also among thc foremost. In truth it was a series of brilliant skirmishes and heavy shocks, in which' 1100 fightin , * men, met OM° hand to hand—overwhelmed them with the precision of their vollies, and the steady coolness of the bayonet— and drove them from the field with the loss of their artillery, baggage, pack mules, fix ed ammunition, and near 2ttoo stands of muskets. The fort, meanwhile, had been sum moned, with true Mexica n duplicity, and told that Taylor was flying. The Mata tnoras newspapers and official Bulle tins called him a cowardly tailor. In an swer to the summons, the officers plunged their swords into the parapet, and replied "up to the hilt." Up to the evening of the 9th, 1500 shells and 3000 shot had been thrown, and the only loss was that of the brave commander, Major Brown. and I serge-ant and 1 private killed and 10 wounded. The general returns to the army to-night, and will cross the river to-morrow or next nay. The tort will be. iir•reased in guns and especially provided with mortars, which will bring the town to terms at once. The wavy will co-operate at the mouth of the river, and steamboats begin to carry supplies by that route. Gen. Taylor has just given Gen. Vega a letter to Gen Gaines, anti a letter of ered .it the his factor. The officers here and in the main body vied with their commander in delicate attentions to :ibrave and accom plished enemy, who *won their admiration on the field, and was taken as a soldier in full harness,andfighthrgallantly to the last. Our loss isbout 30 killed and 110 wound ed. It ought to be mentioned that sonic of our regiments are not full, and two of them only have about three hundred. Manv instances occurred, of men handing their canteens to the wounded Mexicans, and turtling from them to fire upon others.— There was not a single occurrence of cruel ty toward the enemy. The morale of the. army is at its highest—it can now accotn- - pli s f i any thing, and they would die for a commander who does not ask them to go where -he is net willing to lead, and in whose judgement they fully confide.

The General speaks no other languaure than the Spanish, but through the aid of Mr. Denis Prieur, who acted as interpreter, a pleasing and lively con‘iersation took place. Gen. de la Ve ga expressos himself as extremely well satisfied with his position, and stated that he felt as if he was among his own,friends rather than as a prisoner of war. The most courteous civilities were exchanged, among which Gen. Gaines renefved his wish of having Gen. Vega and friends fortn part of his family while in the city. The accomplished lady of Gen.

We have heard of no less than three instances during the past week in which the buildings have been complete ly destroyed. On Saturday evoning last, during a shower, a covered wagon shed on the farm of Mr. LEREw In I f atimure township, was struck by lightning. and in burning the flames communicated to a large and new Barn, which was entirely destroyed. On Tuesday morning, the Barn - of Mr. JACOIi Girl:, of Reading township, was struck and en tirely consumed. On the evening of the same day, a•Barn on the farm of Mr. ADAM lIERSIIT. in Codorus township, York County, was alsp destroyed. The light was distinctly visible ut this place. The frequent occurrence of these disasters i.fiCluld serve as a proper warning to our Farmers not to leave their harns without the proteciion of good lightning-rod.

ID — We have devoted considerable space to de-, tailed 4rcounts of the brilliant %rewires achieved by our gallant little army on the Rio Grande.— The official despatches of Gen. Taylor to the War department fully confirm the general partic ulars. It will be seen that two battles were fought on the bth and 9th inst. with a much su perior force of the enemy, in both of which the American arms were signally triumphant. These brilliant achievements of the gallant Taylor and his brave companions in arms are every where hailed with the most enthusiastic laudations 'There are not," says the Baltimore Patriot, "on record accounts of two more brilliant achievements than these. In every respect, whether we regard the cool courage of the commanding General, his admirab!e judgement and prompt decisions, or the more than chivalric feats of his gallant officers rind soldiers, there is nothing but commendation to bestow. There is much of the spirit of I Knight-errantry" in rnany of the everts, and the whole scene must live in history among the bright ert and most glorious of military achievements." Signal as these triumphs were, victory was purchased at no little cost. The deaths of the gal- lant Majors Bnowis and RiNuooLu are especially mourned as a heavy loss to the Army. The forces under Gen. Taylor were composed entirely of regular troops, no volunteers having ar rived When the battles were fought—they num bered 2300. The Mexicans numbered 3500 reg ulars, and about 2000 irregular cavalry. The loss on either side had not been definitely ascertained. It is estimated that the American loss was not far from 43 officers and men killed, and !13 wounded. The Mexican loss was sup posed to have been upwards of 300 killed and a large number wounded and taken prisoners. A. rnong the officers killed was Lieut. CocanAN, son of Dr. Cochran, of Columbia, and brother of the Editor of the York Republican The Right Spirit. LrWe are gratified . to observe the entire .har mony of sentiment which pervades the whole Whig party in relation to the unfortunate difficul ties with a sister Republic, in which the blunder ing, mischievous policy of the National Adminis tration has involved the country. There is no dif ference of sentiment as to our duty now that hos tilities have commenced. The war must be pros ecuted with energy to a speedy and triumphant close ; and to effect it all the energies of the country must be. marshalled in its vigorous con duct. And in responding to the calls which may be made either upon the treasury of the Govern ment or the individual services of the people, from no source will there be a more enthusiastic and energetic action than the members of the Whig party. - While, however, there exists this unanimity of opinion as to our present duty, there is as little difference of sentiment, as to the propriety of hold the GoVernment strictly acconpOable for all the disasters and melancholy consequences of the War, as the result of a most imbecile and censu rable administration of our foreign policy. And it will be a fearful responsibility, that of reckless ly invading the soil of a foreign State, virtually de- Glaring war and assunnirg the prerogative vested by the Constitution in Congress alone, and bring• ing about all the serious evils incident to national Unfortunately, however, the Locofoco Press, with a few honorable exceptions, unable or unwil ling to distinguish between duty to country and duty in reference to the misdeeds of public officers, stand aghast at the independent and manly denunci ation of mal-administration by the Whig Press, and would fain make their honest readers believe that the whole Whig party are actuated by any other than American motives. They seem, says the Reading Journal, to think it high treason for any one to call in question the propriety or policy of any act of the President, or any measure of his ad ministration. They would abridge the liberty of Speech and of the Press, place a gag in the mouth of.every freeman, and a censor over every inde pendent journal in the country—if they dared. They would have the whole nation to bow down in servile submission, like themselves, and cry amen to all the President says oe does. c Now it occurs to us that an individual may en tertain a most unbounded reverence and affection for his country, and at thesame time have a most contemptible opinion of the President, and his administration. The country is his birth right--his inheritance, and he is bound to it by a tie second only to that which binds him to his God. The. President is merely the head servant of the nation..—he belong to the people, and not the people to him. So long as lie serves the country fnithfully end well, SO long is he deserving of the applause of the people. But when he for. gets his awful responsibility—:when he is disposed to become the leader or the tool of a party—when he jeopards the peace and well being of the Union to promote his personal aggrandizement—when he usurps powers not delegated to him by the high trust committed to his hands—TueN HE IS ezzisunAntc —and all those who support pin in their misdeeds, parlieipes erintinis, or partakers of his iniquity. When the country is thus \betrayed to advance a party or personal consideration, it is only base hirelings and stares who will approve. The true patriot will speak nut. Jealous of the national honor and Jealous of the usurpations Qf Presidential authority—his quick understanding will detect, his honest heart expose, and a feeling of noble indignation lead him to denounce the re. creant:servant, even though he he the highest ger of the government While therefore the Whigs will stand by the Country and support the Government in any meas ure it may see fit to adopt in the present crisis, they will hold the President and those who were mainly instrumental in bringing this evil upon us, to a strict account, and never shrink from their solemn duty to defend the Constitution at all haz ards, and let their denunciations fell heavily upon those who would trample it under foot.

Scott and the Adnuittstra- I,etters from Washington, says the Phi'Adel ; villa Inviter, state that a mos.t dvcreditable course has been pursued by the Administration, in rela• tion to Gen. Scott. It will be remembered that it was recently announced that the General was appointed to take command of the army just call ed into the field to operate against Mexico, should extensive'operations become necessary. This an ; nouncement was received with a burst of appra bation through'Sut the country. Ail parties uni . ted in commending the movement, because the utmost confidence was felt in the gallant/ y and a bility of the distinguished officer named. But it is now said that the Administration are making atri effort to supercede Gen. Scott in the command of the Sou th-west Army— in other words, to thrut him aside, and to avoid placing hint in the position to which he is entitled, and which, indeed, the honors and the interests of the country .require him to occupy. , Gen. Scott, it is understood, refused to supersede Gen. Taylor, being unwilling in any way to in terfere with the honor and glory of..that veteran and patriotic officer. But he was perfectly will ine to accept the command of the forces ordered by Congress ; because such a step would by no means disparage or reflect upon the veteran who has the command of the Army of Occupation.— j But the Administration, so it is said, have thought well to pause, and have concocted a Bill authori zing the appointment of two Major and four Brig- I adier Generals, in addition to the present military establishment, the object being, as is believed, to a void placing Gen. Scott in the position to which his character, his services and his rank entitled him, But such movement, all the circumstances considered, seems almost impossible. The peo ple every where; and of all parties, would, we feel satisfied, receive it with indignation. We are at war with Mexico, and the services of our hest and bravest officers should be rendered available at such a crisis. Peßnsy!yanin Vol unteerm.

Eri — The appeals of the Washington Union to its locofoco friends in Congfess to rally at once to the onslaught upon the protective policy as recog- Mzed by the'present tariff laws, do not seem to meet with the entire approval of his brethren of the Press of the same political school in this State. The Harrisburg Union, (probably the most spir- ited and efficiently conducted locnfoco paper in the State,) thus refers to President PUCK'S official organ : "The Union is still calling upon Con gress to reduce the Taritt—now is the tune (says that paper,) to strike against the Tariff system.
