    in motion,—a river was to be Crossed, into
which we dashed. The scene of Capt.
Smith's operations was distant over a mile,
and we came upon it at a dog trot. At
the foot of the hill we found the 7th in or
der, and learned that it was not to push up,
but in case of need to sustain Capt. Smith,
who was reported to have gained the sinn
mit, but nothing knoivn certainly. Major
Scott immediately formed his regiment
. and moved forward under the hill, until a
battery was discovered on another adjacent,
when he halted—formed line, dressing up
on the regimental colors,,as upon parade,
and gave the order to move forward.
WeTfad pushed on our way a consider
able distance, when the enemy's firing be
came warm, and Lieut. Rossell and our
Sergeant Major were wounded, the latter
severely. We were distant at the time
not over 150 yards, I think, ffintithe Mex
ican work, when, with a loud hurrah, that
• reverberated the hills among, the regiment
rushed up, and in less than three quarters
of ar. hour from the time the order was re
ceived, a mile and a halfof craggy country
had been passed, a river forded, a hill as
cended of great height, and difficult of ac
cess, and the colors of the sth U. S. Infan t
ry planted over the work of the enemy,
and its guns turned upon them with dead
ly effect!- In ;this charge Capt. 13Ian
chard's company of Louisiana 7 volunteers
(all that remained of the Pelican brood) ,
here a conspicuous part. Major Scott
in moving forward, called the 7th to fol
low, and some Texas Rangers, and some
of the Redlegs on, the other hill, which
they did, coming up in our rear—Blan
chard's company going in with us, being
part of our brigade, and for the time attach
ed to Major Scott's command. After re
maining some time and exchanging lire•
. with the Bishop's Palace, we were ordered
to occupy another hill, which overlooked
the four beautifully. •We ascended and
bivouacked for the night most uncomfort
ably—it raining all the time. About day
• light we were ordered down from our
roost, to recross the river, and sustain three
companies of the 8111 U. S. Infantry and!
others of the Artillery and Infantry battal
ions under Col. Childs, who had just be
fore day stormed the hill above the Palace,
and carried it, and who Was reported
in peril of being repulsed. The hill had
been taken, but. the enemy had succeeded
in securing his Artillery, consequently the
gallant Colonel was not quite as success
ful as Capt. Smith's command, nor ours,
- both having secured the enemy's cannon.
At the - hill fort - , which Capt. S. took, the
Mexicans were trailing—off one of their
guns, when he turned their other one left
behind upon it, and at the first fire strait(
it "bip" on the "muzzle," knocking out a
piece--it was dropped like a hot potato,
and the hounds, except a few killed, ran
yelping away. Capt. Smith recovered the
piece and rendered it effective in his fire
upon the "Bishop's seat." In crossing the
river to sustain the Bth "Artillery Infae try,
• it was done under a heavy lire of round
shot and shell from his Reverence's strong
hold. The stream at the ( point crossed,
was very rapid, with a muddy bottom, a
bout waist deep, and several of our ofticeis
und men were carried down, but recover
ed themselYes after going, down stream
some distance. In this, as in many other
instances of wild adventure, the "Great
Coon" was most conspicuous—having
been thrown from his poney,• and swept
down "a rod or two"—about the length
of some stories told of his coonship.
The Regiment having made good the
grossing, soon arrived at the foot of the
hill, out of the reach of the Mexican bat
terries, when we gave three hearty cheers
to our comrades above, which were as
heartily responded to. We then ascend
ed and joined hands, or rather arms, to
speak 'more in military parlance. The
hills stormed svill average some 500 feet
—are exceedingly steep, and in many pla
ces precipitous. Upon our arrival at the
top of the last, we discovered a piece of
Artillery from Duncan's Battery moving
towards us along the road, from Gen.
'Worth's headquarters; and were informed
that it had been sent to assist in driving
nut the impious occupants of the Bishop's
Palace, who had desecrated to the purpo
ses of war the good nian's proprietary.—
When the piece arrived at the foot of the
hill it was the Devil's own work to get 'it
up. But soldiers and sailors are used to
such things; and soon, by drag-ropes and
main force, under the direction of the in
trepid Lieut. Roland, it was poised and
lifted up in some places, and put in posi
tion in an incredible short time, an embra
sure having been formed out of sonic sand
bags,. and in five minutes ater it had reach
ed the top of the hill, Miss' Howitzer
was singing musically in the ears of the
inmates of the palace, in a key' note of
most lofty sound ; and the better to listen
to the music, I suppose, the Mexicans
left the palace, swarming out like bees
from a hive—to be driven back again by
the deadly rifle of the Texan. This was
too much for even a people;boasting of
their magnanimity—it was adding insult
to injury—it was not to be borne—so
they made a sortie and came up to our line,
either with a view of driving us off or ta
king away our "prima donna ;" but she
was too precious to be spared. 'What
lovers of music they must have been to
come so close. 1 - V hen within charging
distance, wo let on them like an avalanche,
..aod drove them "like chaffbefore the wind,"

the river. After having gotten some dis
tance in, Major Scott divided his Battalion
of sth Infantry into two—leading two per
sonally, and entrusting the command of
the others to Capt. Merrill. They took
different streets, and we worked our way
into town much in advance of others who
had gone in before us. Night found- the

'titillated in two
! hours more. _We _ had*,
gained all desirable positions—our 'Artil
lery-in battery—our mortars in range, all
our flints picked and every thing ready to
complete the job.' All this has been ac
complished by a force of Americans less
than two-thirds of the number of Mexican
regulars allowed to march out—counting
for nothing the irregular force. 'Phe Mex
icans -had about 12,000 in the city, besides
the ganisons of the Hill Forts and Main
Forts. They have lost from 1,500 to
2,000 "killed, wounded and'inissing."
More of the Battle.
Col. BAILIE Pi:vros, who was connected with
Gen. I' , onTifs division , eives a thrilling descrip
tion of the storming of N.onteray iii the N. U.
Picayune, limn MI we extract the following :
"These Mexican towns and fortresses
are incredibly strong, and feiv men tight
better from house tops and behind stone
walls, or are more adroit in the manage
ment of stationary artillery than the Mex
leans. In these actions Gen. Taylor had,
all told, about 5000 men, while Gen, Am
podia's force consisted of 10,500 infantry
and cavalry, besides militia, rancheros, &e.
Gen. Taylor had eighteen pieces of artil
lery, of which seventeen were field pieces ;
while Gen. Ampudia had fourty-four pie
ces, thirty-eight of which, with two stand
dards of colors, are now, in our pos
session."
"From this time until the appearance Of
the white flag on the evening of the 2 ith,
.the division of the army commanded by
Gen. Worth, was incessantly engaged, and
was ever successful—never for one mo
ment
hesitating or faltering—putting to
rout the, enemy's ,cavalfy on the plains, '
driving his. infantry through the chaparal
and from the house-tops, scaling immense
heights, capturing guns, and storming for
tresses, which were not only deemed im
pregnable but which seemed to be almost
inaccessible. And, best of all, these bril
liant exploits were performed with the
loss of fourteen killed and fifty-six wound
ed; and during the four days' contest there
oeeurred not the slightest error or mistiake
on the part of the commanding general, I
nor was there at any time the least faltering
or hesitancy on the part of the officers
and men—regulars and volunteers—in ex
canting his orders. Indeed, it is difficult
to determine which is most worthy of ad
miration, the wisdom and energy displayed
by the able and accomplished command
er, pr the gallantry , and ardor with which
he was sustained by those under his com
mand.
When the difficulties and apparently in
superable obstacles are considered, I ven
ture the assertion that the series of suc
cesses obtained by the division under Oen.
Worth's command, in the recent operations
against Monterey, will bear a favorable
comparison with the proudest achivements
of the American arms. He was opposed
by • a greatly superior force, which was
well served with artillery and posted upon
the highest peaks of the Sierra Madre.—
He stormed the heights, took three pieces
of artillery, turned them on the enemy, and .
with these and the aid of one of his own
pieceswhich he contrived to place upon
the summit which commands the famous
Bishop's Palace, eight hundred fect above
tU base of the mountain—united with the
inv:timable services rendered by the daunt-

the charge so
, i1111)1lIdelltly uidered by Gen. BLit-
, At this moment an awful fire was open
, ed on the Tennessee:ins. They fell by
scores, but the balance stood like veterans.
We were tired upon hy a cross lire trout
9 and I 2 pounders and a ninderous
dis
charge of small arms from corners of
streets, doors, windows and tops of houses.
By thii time, Col. Watson was trying
toget us ahead oldie Tennesseeans, (having
applied fOr,the advance and received from
Gen. Taylor the promise of it,) andovidle
in the act of giving three cheers, was shot
down. He was on our right, some twen
tv paces ahead of us. I saw him fall, and
all apprehension now left me. I.made
involuntary effort to get to him to afford
him help, but was borne on . by the press- ;
ure of the mass behind; and willingly yield
ed to it, impelled by a thirst' for revenge
that would have carried me through a storm
of bullets or laid me out in Monterey.—
We were now within fifty yards of the
wall, behind which the enemy were lying
in perfect security, and at this moment
Gen. Taylor rode up in gallant style, ac
companied by a young Officer.
Now came the thrilling scene of all.—
A huge Tennesseean sung ou t"silence, men
—here conies Old Zack—three cheers for.
Old Zack." Three tremendous cheers,
were g iven, until
"Heaven's broad arch rang back the sound."
I trembled for his safety, for I expected to
see him ,fall every moment.
Great God, I never can forget that sight.
The gallant old soldier turned topic young
officer who accompanied hint and receiv
ed from him a spy-glass, which he applied
to his eye, as if to survey the scene around
him. There laid at least 400 men shot
down ; the General calmly shut up the
glass and returned it to the young officer,
and then riding still nearer to the foe, until
he Was up even with the Tennesseeans, gave
the order to "retire." I followed him
with my eyes till I saw him beyond the
danger of the small arms, and then almost
involuntarily uttered an ejaculation of
thanksgiving to the Almighty that his in
valuable life was still preserved to his coun
try. As I was returning 1 saw a wound
ed volunteer, who begged the to give him
some water. I did so, and carried hint on
my back to a place of security. He was
a Tennesseean ; when I laid him down in
the presence of his officers, he was a corpse.
Oh ! gentlemen, the sight was fearful.—
The word may be unsoldierlike-1 cannot
help it, it was horridly fearful. The man
who can cantemplate such a scene as four
hundred men dead and dying, and not feel
deeply, keenly feel, he is made of sterner
stuff than the materials of which lam com
posed.
The same correspondent writes•us follows
I wish to ask yotr one or two questions;
and first: Is our government asleep, or
have they determined to let old Rough and
Ready alone, to light on his own hook ?
It really does Seem to me, that there is
great fault some where. When we have
sugar,
rwe have no coffee ; _ when we
have bread, we have no meat; when we
have meat, we have no beans ; and a more
completely famished and starved set of
men you never saw. The transportation
for this army is miserably deficient, and
had the government evinced half the desire
to sustain this army as this army has
shown itself anxious to win laurels. there
would not have been one half the number
of discharges and deaths there have been.
Will you, therefore, be good enough to
,„ive the "powers that be'' a gentle hint on
this score !
Our countrymen at hOinc, I am sure,
have no, idea of oursutTering,s. I am e
cfually- certain tl they might have 'been
prevented, if proper means were emyloy
ed by those whose business it is to see to
our Wants. It takes a great deal to feed
0,000 men, and the, truth of the whole mat
ter may be summed up in these s words :
Our government has not sustained ''Gen.

When the blood is in an unsound condi
tion, it. is .as ready for infection as land
ploughed and harrowed to receive the al
lotted grain. Those Nvlin are wise, will
therethre commence the purification of
their blood without delay ; and those who
are already attacked with sickness should
du the same.
Ladies should use Brandreth's Pills fre
quently. They will ensure them from
severe sickness of the stomach, and, gene
rally speaking, prevent it. Brandreth's
Pills are harmless. They increase the
powers of life ; they do not depress - then'.
Females will find them to severe that state
of health which every mother wishes , to.
enjoy. In costiveness, so often prevalent
at an interesting period, Brandreth's Pills
are a safe and effectual reinetlY.
There is no medicine-so safe as this; it
is more easy than castor oil, and is now
generally used by numerous ladies through :
. their confinement. Dr:Brandr eth can re-!

exclusion of all other purgativas, and the!
pills, being composed entirely of herbs or I
