In this last conflict we had the misfor tune to sustain a very heavy loss.' Colo nel Hardin, Ist Illinois, Colonel M'Kee and Lieut. Col.

Seven fresh companies were draWn'frorri the town, and Brig. Gen. Marshall, who had made a forced march from the Rinconada, with a reinforcement of Kentucky cavalry w and four heavy guns, under . Capt. Prentiss, Ist artillery, was near at hand, when it was discovered that' the enemy had abandoned his position du ring the night. Our scouts soon ascertain ed that he had fallen back upon Agua Nye ye: - The great disparity of numbers, and the exhaustion of our troops, rendered it inexpedient and hazardous to attempt pur suit. A staff officer was dispatched to General Santa Anna to negotiate and ex exChange prisoners, Which was satisfacto rily Completed on the following day. Our dead were collected and buried, and, the. Mexican wounded, of which a larger , numlfer•had been left upon the field, were removed 10 Saltillo, and tendered as com fortable as circumstances would permit. On the Outing of the 26th, a ctose re eonnoisance was made of the enemy's po sition, which was found to be occupied on ly by a small body of cavalry, the iantry and artillery having retreated in the direc tion: of Sad Leis' Potosi.

SoMe two hundred.wound ed and about sixty Mexican soldiers were found there, 'the army having passed on in the direction of Matehula, with greatly re :diked numbers, and suffering much from hunger. The dead and dying were strew ed 'upon the road and crowded the build ings of the hacienda. The American force engaged in the ac tion of Buena 'Vista is shown, by the ac companying geld report, to baye been 334 officers and 4,425 men, exclusive of the small command left . inandnear Of this number two squadrons of cavalry, three batteries of light artillery, making not more than 453 men, composed the on ly force of regular troops.. The strength of the Mexican army is' stated by Gen. Santa Anna, in his summons, to be 20,000; and that estimate is confirmed by all the in formation since obtained. Our loss is .2 . 67 killed, 450 wounded and 23 missing. Of the numerous wounded; many did not re quire removal, to the hospital, and it is hoped that a compartitively small number will be permanently disabled.. The Mex ican loss - in killed and wounded may be, fairly estimated at 1,500, and will proba bly reach 2,040. At least 500 of their killed wore left upon the field of battle.— We have no means of ascertaining the number of deserters and dispersed men from-their ranks, but is known to be very, great. Our loss has been especially severe in officers, twenty-eight: having been killed upon the field. We have to lathent the death of Capt. George Lincoln, assistant ad jutant general, serving on the staff of Gen. Wool—a young officer of high bearing and gallantry, who fell early in action. No loss falls more heavily upon the army in the field than that of Colonels Hardin, 11V- Kee and Lieut. Col. Clay. Possessing in a remarkable degree the confidence of their commands, and the last two having enjoy edct the advantage of military education, I had looked particular o them for Support in case we met the enemy.

The Grain Crop. IC 7 • The papers from almost all parts of the coun try mention the inditl'crent appearance of the small g,rain, in consequence-of want of rain. In many places unless - rain was soon had. rears of a failure of the crops were entertained. In our county, so far as we can learn, we believe the grain has al so suffered inueh ill consequence of the continued drought, and threatens a serious failure unless re vived by an early rain. 'lite Cecil \ V big of Saturday says :—Some , far mers in this neighborhood ani ploughing up their wheat, and preparing to plant corn in stead, so un promising, is the appearance of the fininc4 grain. The Reading ( Berk: en.) C'azette says more ground is being pr./sued for corn than was ever cultivated be'ore in that county. In Northumber land county the grain in the ground has, in many places, sufDred from the open character of the wM ter and tardiness of the spring. Fine weather may yet resuscitate it. In the northern counties of Illi nois and the southeastern part of Wisconsin, where there is a vast amount ofifwinter wheat in the ground, the indications are said to be rather milli- vocable to the crop. It is too early to form a con clusive opinion on the subject, and it is to be hoped that unnecessary alarm has been created by the liiitykwardness of the season. .

'The lust Auburndurnal pub lishes the correspondence between the committee and Mr. Clay, from which we extract the follow ing paragraphs. They are from the reply of the great statesman, and will be read with interest as the testimony of one of the most patriotic and distinguished of our great men against the unfor tunate and "unnecessary' war in which the coun try has been involved by the misdeeds of its rulers: ' , Yon express your regret on account of the unexpected issue of the last Presiden tial election. I ought to feel none for my self personally. Besides being relieved from a vast responsibility, it furnished the occasion of the exhibition of testimonials and the outpouring of affliction from the hearts of my friends and countrymen, o f which I had no previous conception that I ever could be the honored oject. Their spontaneous and disinterested manifesta, tions arc worth far more than the Presi dency itself. "For our common country I do regret the issue of the contest. Ilad it been oth erwise, we should have preserved the pro tective policy under which we had made such rapid and encouraging advances ; the march of improvement in our rivers and harbors would not have been arrested; and, above all, we should have avoided this unnecessary war qf azgression with a neighbor torn to pieces by internal dis sensions. The brilliant achievements and the glorious laurels acquired during its prosecution, gratifying as they are to our national pride and character, .cant never compensate:for The exceptionable Manner m which it was begun, the brave and palri fikklives which have been uteri/iced, and thefrial ul issues which, I tremble in con lemplaling, may grow out of its termi nation. But I have not a hoart to dwell on this painful theme. I turn from it with hope and dutiful submission to Him, whose no doubt wise but inscrutable dispensation has permitted this awful calamity to visit our beloved country." Virglitia !Elect ion. trj - The returns of the recent Election in Vir ginia for Members of Congress and State tine, exhibit a most gratifying gain for the Whigs. In the last Congress Virginia was represented by a single Whig, Mr. JtoiN S. Pi , :int.i.Tos /„. who stood like a "lone star" in the delegation around him. It is now _rendered certain that Messrs. John S. Pendleton, John M. Botts, T. S. Flourney. W. L. Goggin, and Wm. B. Preston—all good and true Whigs—are elected, making a gain of four me - mbers. In addition to this, Dromgoole (Loco) saves himself by only IS voted,' a 'district which gave Polk bat majority. and (Loco) in the dth district by only votes There are fiftcan districts in the State. The election of Mr. BOTTS, distinguished as he is for his undeviating attachment to Whig_princi ciples, and fearlesss denunciations of misrule in every quarter, wi!l of itself be hailed by the Whigs of the Union as a glorious triumph. Ilis mesence on the floor cf Cong.ess will be found as annoying to the Administration as it was to "Captain" Ty ler and his "Corporal's Guard " The Whigs have also thus far gained 14 mem bers of the Legislature. and lost s—being eqlllVO lent to a reduction of 18 on the Loco:oco majmity of last year, when it was 2.2. A New Move. — •lt will be recollected that Hour A. Wtsr., some few years, s peC,' exultingly avowed on the floor of 'ong,ress that there was "no new, paper pub lished in his Congressional dist; iet." It has been discovered, however, that an occasional ray of light breaks in upon the intellectual vision of the people, by means of a straggling newspaper; and the Grand Jury of Accomac county have gone to work to bar out the pre-umpttkous intruder. On '9th tilt. the following presentment was laid be fore the County Court, and subsequently served upon all the po,tinaster., where the appearance of the mons'er might be supected, to deter them from delivering the Advocate to subscribers: "We. the grand jury. uopn our oaths, do present that the N.
