The soldiers under my command have done their .duty, and crowned the honor of the Mexican nation with glory. The enemy has seen that neither his ad vantageous position, nor the nature of the ground, or the state of the season, for it has been, raining during the action, could pre vent the' terrific charge of the bayonet, which left him terrified. SANr.A. (From the N. 0. Delta, March 23, 12 M.) ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS On the 22d, Santa Anna began the bat tle by various manteuvres, attempting to out flank and terrify old "Ito ugh and Ready." On that day the battle was confined to skirmishing and Cannonading, without much'effect on either side. In the meantime Santa. Anna had sent a large force• to Taylor's real., but our Ar tillery opened upon them with great effect, and they were soon compelled to with draw. „ On the 23 the battle commenced in real earnest, and raged with great violence du ring the whole day. The Americans did not wait the attack, but with the most daring impetuosity, with loud huzzas, rushed in the battle, their ofli .cers leading them gallantly. Gen. Taylor was in the thickest of the (Wit, and received a ball through his over coat, but was not injured. Adjutant Bliss was slightly 'wounded at the side of Gen. Taylor. Adjutant Lin coln also, of the Medical staff and also of the General's stair, the intrepid youngtitli cer who so distinguished himself at Resa ea de la Palma, was killed. The battle of the 230 confirmed from early in the morning until about 3 P. M., when Santa Anna withdrew from the field, and retired to Ague Nueva for reinforce ments. It will be remembered that Santa Anna's reserve corps, commanded by Gen. Val asquez, had been delayed in his march, and has no doubt joined him a few days after the battle. In the meantime his army is starving, and many of his men arc deserting. Capt. Hunter's strong artillery compa ny was not in action, but had left -Monte rey to join Gen. Taylor, with six cannon, two being 8 pounders. On the 7th of March, one Of the Ohio Regiments also left Monterey to join Gen. Taylor. • 1.1 these, and Capt. Prentice's artillery arrive-in time, the General's heavy loss will be fully repaired, and he will be ready to meet Santa Anna again. Gen. Taylor, - at the last accounts, was still maintaining his position undisturbed by the enemy. An exchange of prisoners had taken place, and old "Rough and Ready's" peOmise to Col. Marshall, to get back Cas sius M. Clay, and his party, by taking e nough Mexican prisoners to'exchange for them, has been redeemed. General Wool greatly distinguished him self in the bade,- and fought like a hero. After the - Exude Gen. Taylor demanded of Santa Anna an unconditional surrender of his whole army, which the latter declin ed, but in return requested that Gen. Tay lor should surrender immediately to him.— Immortal be the reply of old "Rough and Ready," as delivered by the gallant Lieut. Crittenden : “Gen. Taykir never surrenders.” Santa Anna's adjutant general was cap tured by the Americans, but afterwards exchanged. Gen. Taylor, occupied his ground on the 24th and 25th without opposition. Col._ Morgan, of the Ohio volunteers, with a small force, cut his way through largo bodies of Mexicans and arived at Ma-. fin. A detachment of three companies under the command of Capt. Gedding,s, was nem to his relief, and the whole party are said to have arrived in safety at Monterey. A thin of 100 wagons,. on their way from Mon.erey to Camargo, under an es cort of thirty volunteers, was captured by a body of Mexican cavairyi a few miles beyond Marin. Three of the men made good their escape—the rest were taken prisoners. A young lady, the daughter of an Amer ican citizen, living in Mexico, and return ing home from New Orleans, where she .has been going to school, was taken with this train, her father having been killed by the Mexicans. She, however, had escap ed„ and arrived at Monterey in safety, where her misfortunes had excited the most lively sympathy. The lady's name is Miss Burns. Col. Curtis of the Ohio voiuntcrs, had Started on his expedition against Gen. Urrea, who was at Aldatnas, a village on the San Juan river, about 40 miles from The Colonel has a body of men. com posed of the Ohio regiment, the. Virginia volunteers, and Capt Hunter's company of U. S. Dragoons. The Mexicans have possession of Seral vo,- China, Meir, and all the towns between Camarpijand Monterey: Major' Coffee, paymaster, will carry. Gen. Taylor's despatches for Monterey. • It is statedinthe letter di Mexican officer, that in many instances contests were observed among the Mexicans over the bodies of the dead Ameri can soldier .for the pieces of meat found in his hav ersack, and for the water in his canteen. The Now Orleans Delta of the 23d, says: The Mexicans advanced upon him with great boldness, bravely led on by their 'best' Officers, but were met by our gallant volunteers with the cool firmness of vete ran soldiers. A fierce and long battle en sued,' the Mexicans charging with their , bayonets to the very muzzles of our artil; lery . and receiving the deadly and destrue-, tive 'fire of our guns, with unflinching Ontir ttae; 0i r. men gave not an inch, biat,main,, tamed their position on the bloody`field the whole day of the 22d, and on the next day until the evening, when the 'Mexicans retired to Apia Nueva, leaving their killed unburied, and all their 'wounded, cn the field where they fell. The . killed and wounded on the Mexi can side arc estimated at 4,000. Some of the Mexican officers taken prisoners ad mit that their loss was at least 2,000. The American loss was about 700 killed and wounded. Santa Anna in his letter admits that his army is cut up. Thht the victory was on the side of Gen. Taylor is abundantly proved by Santa Anna's. pre cipitous retreat eighteen or twenty miles in the rear. As to his trophies, we cowl: Bider that part of his letter aS apocryphal, and shall wait for the particulars before we fully credit. This victory has been a chieved at great sacrifice on our part.— The ardor of our volunteer officers led them into the hottest part of the fight, and consequently the number of field officers killed and wounded is lamentably great.— Every volunteer colonel but one was either killed or wounded. Latest front Vera Cruz. The packet brig Adams Gray, Capt. Collins, ar rived tram Havana, brought the the New Orleans Picayune files of papers to the 14th, the day of her departure. Vera Cruz papers had been receiv ed to the 21th February,froni them the following ertracts are made by the llavatm journals: All sorts of preparations to oppose the attack of the Americans were going on at Vera Cruz, where 2000 men froln Puebla were daily expected to arrive. Gen. Morales, commander-in-chief of the troops at Vera" Cruz, is represented as very anxious that the Americans should commence the attack on the city, as he was confident that with the forces under his command, and the reinforcements ex pected, he would be able to give them a hard fight. The Mexicans were carefully watching the movements of the American squadron, and nothin g mdicaied the ap proaching attack, but tey had reliable in formation that the troops and several ves sels intended tooperate in it, were at Lo bos Island, where they awaited the result of Don Alejandro Atocha's mission, in or der to begin the attack if the proposals ten dered by him on the part of the United ii States Government. were refused, It was reported in Vera Cruz tlwrt a most fatal disease had made its appearance anong the crews of th American vessels, in which we believe there is no was& The papery from the Capiial seem to confirm the belief, that the mission of Se nor Antocha was to propose an arrange ment, by which the 26th line of parallel should be the boundary between Mexico and-the U. States, for which $20,000,000 would be paid to Mexico, and moreover the United States would take upon theth delves to satisfy the claims of their citizens —amounting to about 11,000,000. The Monitor says, that however advan tageous this offer may appear at first sight, it is not so in reality,for the line of the 26th degree would cut oil the States Chi huahua, Durango, Coahuila, New Mexico, New Leon, Tatnaulipas, Texas and both the Colifornias. The authorities of Vera Cniz called up on the'inhabitants on the 38th, requesting them to leave the city .and move to the in terior. nala A 1111111111 GETTYSBURG: Friday Evening, April 2, 1847, 141110 CANDIDATE FOR GOVEFINbIt GEN.

Last year the proportion of this fund, when distributed as intended by the law, was about 50 cents to each taxable inhabitant; but in consequence of the increasing number of accepting districts,"the pro portion hereafter will be somewhat less, say from 45 to 50 cento. Attention is, directed to the pro. vtsions of section 4, of the act of June 13,1036, anthorizing the Directors of every School DiStrict annually, on or before the Ist of May, to try a &hail tax not,less than equal to, nor more than treble the amount which the district is entitled to receive out of the State appropriation.

The Public Creditors. Ma. Boycott :—There are still a number of creditors, holding just claims against the Common wealth, who for years past, have been striving to procure the passage of some equitable act for their settlement. In this they have hitherto failed—va rious causes operating to prevent what is but a plain net of justice. At one lime party spirit was invoked against a certain class of these creditors with success. Stay ; sequently the poverty' f the State and the embar rassed condition of the finances have been made the excuse for refusing to do justice to a meritorious class of men—a class whose toil and meat were expended in digging our canals and building our Railroads. We host loudly of the good faith we have observed towards our foreign creditors ; and of the sacrifice we have made to redeem our en gagetnents to them. This in proper enough.— But while we compliment ourselves for the redemp tion of our faith, pledged to our foreign creditors, ' we should remember our obligations to 'many of our own eitizens.are yet to be redeemed; and that until this is done our escutcheon is not free from ' the stain of violated faith. The men who dug our Canals and built our Railroads, are as meritorious creditors of the Com monwealth as those who lent her money ; and the refusal to pay them what is justly their due, is as dis honorable and inexcusable a violation of the public faith, as would be the refugia! to pay our bondhold ers the interest due them. For years, these men have lived on the hope that the Commonwealth would soon do them justice— : the next year or the following at fluffiest, they ex 'peeled that justice, so long delayed, would be done. But year after year, their reasonable expectations have Been defeated on one frivolous pretext or a nother. Their hearts have grown sick with hope defered; and many of them have spent, in time and money, pressing their claims, as much as they are worth. Numbers have been rendered bankrupt by the failure of the State to satisfy their just demands. We trust, however, that the next LegiAnur will look to this mutter, and pass a law (or the f tuf set tlement of the claims of those whose !neve been so long treated with neglect. A most absurd and wicked argument has some times been used against the passage of a law of the kind I have refered to; namely, that the claims are so large that their payment would embarrass the treasury Such an argument as this no just and right-minded sawn worth! use. It ics aor arra merit in favoi of repudiation—general repmilation; or what is worse, of discriminating against the laborers who made our Improvements.. A miserable and contemptible fear of doing what they seemed to,regard as unpopular, has much in terfered to prevent our Legislators from doing jre tier to this deeitly„injared cheer of men. But Le islators who hayolleemed thus of their constituents do root know therm They have willingly contrib. Wed of their earnings to pay the interest doll to foreign bondholders ; and as willing will they con tribute to pay the just claims of those who have toiled and sweat in the employment of the Com rrsonwealth in the construction of her public works. Let every newspaper in the State take up the sub.. ject and examine it; and threw the weight of its influence into the scale of justice. C. ECM TirK AND IgANNIM%, County Treasurer.

Ile has been that ever since he has had a vote, and not on ly in name but in acts that have counted well in '.times gone by. He is not only a Whig in name, but has always been a working Whig and no drone. He has spent his time and his money without stint in the support of Whig men and Whig principles, and by referring to the campaigns of 1840 and '44, the Whig party of Adams county will find that THOS.

This system of impost, is partly specific anti in part ad valorem, the latter ranging from a low rate to as high as forty per cent ; the whole averaging about one-fourth of the rates of t he ex ist ing Mexican tariff.

There was an aggvega,te oxijority of 2.:r3 in the county in favor of license. In, Heaver county, tem n•hips, including the borough of Beaver, voted against cense, and sixteen for it. The average majority in favor of license was 3JO. In NVastungtoo ai far as heard from, not a township has voted in favor of license. In Allegheny county, the I'itts biire says - ---But two or three tnwii hips, so far as heard from in the county have voted in lavor of license.

I[7-The Boston Traveller discredits reports =catty published of an extensive usissa ere of Nestorians by the Khords under Bader Khan Bcy. For this opinion it relies chiefly ou the tact that the American Missionaries at Voro miah, among the Nestorian of Persia, have given no account of such a massacre in their letters to the Board. The rumor of the surrender of the Castle of San. Juan, current a few days ago,proves to have been without foundation. The 2i h ult., it is generally understood, had been fixed upon as the time for the attack. Tit F: PAS!!! OF If NCON A DA.—The follow ing description of this celebrated Pass,, is taken from a letter published in the N. Y. Caurier : "We had these magnificent mountains all the way along from ibis place; and, indeed, we have thus far only seen the beginning of them, as they extend 3 or 400 miles into the interior, and each scene much finer titan the last.' Thesecond day's march was about 10 or 18 mites, and we halted a half a mile abort of the famous pass, called, from its crooked shape, the Pass of the "Rinconada," or Ram's Horn, one of the points specified in the terms of capitulation at Monterey, between Gen. Taylor and the Mexican General, beyond which our army was not to pass during the eight week's armistice. It was an almost impregnable pass, and in fact, the key tothe whole interior country, anti is celebrated from the circumstance of 3000 Mexicans repulsing ten times their number-40,009 Spaniards—during their struggle for inde pendence. We, of course, expected that our march on the morrow, would be dispu ted at this pass ; and our apprehension was strengthened from the fact, that short ly after dark, looking towards }he top of one of the highest mountains which over topped us in the rear, we saw suddenly shoot up a bright fire, which burned stead ily for some minutes, and then went out, and which was doubtless intended for a signal, as it was so placed as to be seen through the gorge, by those in the interior, and to apprise them of our vicinity. The next morning at reveille, about five o'clock, hardly light enough to see our way, the bugle sounded the advance, and we started full of expectation of hearing the first cannon shot which was to apprise us of the heights being occupied. We march ed on in silence, through the gloomy gorge —and a turn in the road was here a reach or a stretch of about half a mile, and at 0101 extremity there is a steep hill, which corn; pletely blocks up the passage and affords a splendid position on its crest for several batteries of heavy artillery, which would completely enfilade or sweep the road where it debouches from the mountains, and consequently annihilate the ;head of the column, as fast as, it would emerge from the pass: - On this crest we saw sev eral recently constructed batterieS, admira bly situated; but what was• our relief to find that our enemy had not thought even this position a sufficient advantage, but had ahandimed this formidable pass,' leaving the door to the advanee el our forces with- , ow any apnrchent.ion, of danger, JAMES IRVIN. Mexivo has not the means to bear the burden of the war; it is opposing poverty to abundance—weakness to strength. lit my opinion it would be best for the two Governments to enter into negotiatioris.— With the power the United States possess it would be as dishonorable in her to force us into treaties advantageous alone to her self, as it would be fix- ns to make conces sions from necessity. it is reported that a train carrying pm- t visions to the American army was attack ed and capturm) at Marina, by ilea Jose Urrea, and is yet in ins possession, with quantity of private merchandise, taken at the same time, Ike."

Taylor's camp to Mon terey by Paymaster Coffee, who was bear er of despatches front Uen. Taylor, but, trho could get no further than that place with them. The despatches were sent thence by a Mesieart, who had not got through by The last accounts- The news received at Catwargo was the substance of these despatches, brlmett by an express rider, who was nine-days in making the trip throoTh to Catnargo, being compelled to make a circuit of live hundred 11111C+ WI , escape the Mexican forces and rancheros thrat.swarnred in the valley. Nothing had heerr helird rrl Ca Curtis Sian Fre. reit Camargo. it was thought that Gen. Urrea would fly belbre him as soon as - he had ascertained the overtrbei ming defeat of Santa Arm. Private fetters had been received from Satin() air hte as to the Pith of March, at which time Gem. Tay/or was at Buena Vista. The fallowing letter was received at Niara atoms Fry a Mcvehant of that place: from a llesiran at Saltillo. It was dated tm fith of Morrh, aner gives the only acciinnt of the manner in which the battle was fongei that has yet been received.: • "At 3 o'clock on the 22(1 ult. the ?mitre commenced at Buena Vista, five mires from Sahill°. The light ope-ned with ar tillery and a destruetire eartarmade was kept up until sunset. N derided advan tages was obtairretf cid herside--the loss on both being. very great. On the 23d, at 10 o'clock, the battle was again renewed and kept up without intern►istsion until hall-past 3 in the after noon. Both armies were closely engaged during the whole time. Gen. Wool advan eed. with a strong detachment against the Mexican army, but was driven back with immense loss. The Mexican cavalry charged upon him with dr.►wn swords and did great execution. As Wool fell hack Gen. Taylor advanced with fresh troops, and repelled the Mexicans with great slanghter. This charge decided the bat tle, which was not again renewed. The number killed and wounded was very great on both sides. I can only estimate the number by the cart-loads of wo►atded that have entered this city from both battle fields. On the 24th both armies hung oil' with out coming to a genet al engarment—each occupied In can Ting oil the wounded and burying their dead. After the 24th there was no more fight ing—the Mexican troops, famishing with hunger, became convinced that they could not triumpy or drive Gen. Taylor front his position, and retired. As yet Santa Anna has only retired a short distance, hut I do not entertain the belief that he will minim another engage ment. MEXICAN SYMPATHY. • 'Front the Mexican Diario. By the last arrival from NeW Orleans, we have been placed in possession of late papers from! the United States, and a majority of them de nounce and condemn this war against this country as "infamous. unholy acid unrighteous." Daniel Webster, the most liberal and enlighten ed statesman of the country, says that the expen ses of the war are over "half a million of dollars a day," and he has introduced resolutions into the Senate to impeach the cowardly Jim Polk, and turn him out of office. These "northern barbari , s" cannot carry on the war very long at this rate, and Mr. Webster deserves the thanks of the : whole Mexican nation for the noble stand he has taken on the side of right and justice! Arise, Mexicans, and drive the invadeis from our soil. Mexicans can derive comfort from the fact that the greater part of the people of the United States are opposed to this war, as their papers show, and the base man who is at the head of the government, will be exiled from power. The sympathies ,of one entire party in that country are on our side, ! i and long will Mexico remember their patriotism. The above is going the rounds of the Loco papers, and has found its way into the columns of the Pennsylvanian. We doubt very much whether any such article ever appeared in a Mexican paper. It does not sound like Mexican composition. It appears much more like some of the • vampings of the Loco party to affect a particular purpose. But suppose it was altogether Mexican, what is it but a miserable mistake which, ¬ wholy without effect, must be deep ly injurious to those who put trust in its delusions. The plexicans would, of course, never seriously write about "cots fort from a fact," and that fact only a speech.-- They have too much reality about them " for that. Probably not twenty inen in Mexico ever heard of the remark made in any part of the United States. But all Mexico begins to know where and to whom • that country has looked, and may look, for comfort, and not look in vain. "COMFORT from the fact!" Well—the great fact is that the United States, having got into a war with Mexico, and having placed her troops and a skilful General there, found herself triumphant in three of the greatest battles fought for many years on this continent. Mexico was palsied for want of a commander. Immediately the President of the United States permits an accomplished and popular commander to pass a Strict blockade, and take command of Mexican troops. That is comfort. The President had authority given him last June, to raise fifty thousand men to - march against Mexico. He did not raise •- them, and Gen. Taylor has been without forces to carry on the var. That looks like comfort. The troops of the United. States have been- spending millions in Mexico, without promoting thee - Objects of a war, and Mexicans have rather profited by the expenditure. That is comfort. It may be very convenient to manufac ture small paragraphs, and credit them to a Mexican paper, that will do to deceive the people with ; or it may be that the sil ly articles were really found in a Mexican Gazette, but in neither case has aid been given to an enemy. While a real indisputable case of "aid and comfort" is made out, in the admis sion of Santa Anna into Mexico, to take command of the army—of the very army, and the very branch of that army, that is now discomforting General Taylor, and a venging, upon his venerable head the fears as to succession which his victories exci ted in Washington. These are facts, indeed, and we do not have to go to a Mexican paper to find them. —U. S. Gazelle. SINGULAR. AND FATAL OCCURRENCE.- On the Springfield and Worcester road, on Saturday, while the train, was on its way, the wire of the telegraph, in some way or other, got entangled in the locomo tive, and before it was discovered it threw off three of the hands, killing one, named Coleman, immediately, and injuring a noth er so much that it was found necessary to amputate his arm. The third one was considerably though not dangerously hurt. It is not known in what manner the acci dent occurred: None of the telegraph posts were down, and, besides, the rail road and telegraph are parallel to each oth er. A SUBSTITUTE FOR GLASS IN HOT HOUSES.—The Bay State Farmer says : —"An invention has jest been patented that is destined, we think, to supersede entirely the use of glass in the construc tion of not only hot beds, but houses.— The substitute consists of a chemical trans parent water-proof composition, for ren dering muslin, calico or linen for the frames of green houses, &c., impervious to rain or moisture, admitting light equal to glass, much warmer, and the plants nev er burn under it. It is proof -against hail storms, so destructive to glass. No NEED OF A SHERIFF:4n Japan ev ery criminal adjudged worthy of death is his own executioner.

For the cure of Hepalites or • Liver Com plaint Dyspepsia and Sick Head-s2che. TOMS remedy has been for several years em -44 played by the proprietor in his practice, on a very large scale in IVlonongalia, Preston, Harrison, and Randolph coonties, in Virginia, besides sever al other places, and having been attended with the most happy effects, he has been from time to time solicited to take such a course us would give it a more extensive circulation with a view to les sen the amount : of humin suffering. Aware of the fact that many naffrums have been palmed upon the public, he hesitated for several years, un til thoroughly convinced that the above medicine, if properly used, would not fail to effect cotes in a great many instances, and even to alleviate those cases which are quite. incurable. Symptoms of a diseased Liver.--Pain in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increased on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side rsome times the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for a rheumatism in the right arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness ; the bowels, in general, are costive, sometimes alternating with lax, the head. is troubled with pain accompanied with .a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is gen erally a considerable loss of memory, accompan ied with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. ' , A slight dry cough is sometimes an' ttendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low' ' and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it.— In fact, he distitsts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but rases baye occurred where few of them existed, yet °until,. nation of the body after death has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged.
