Since Writing the above, iwe have seen
other positive assertions made on the author
ity of AmPudia, that the idle of the armis

the llexicanssarc led to presume it was sug
gested by them because the greater part of
our readers were cut to Pieces at Monte

The Mexican - accounts of the battles of
Monterey are more' numerous than have
been publklied in the United States. As a
matter of necessity, they prnise very highly
the valor Of our troops, and. they insist upon
'the obstinacy and gallantryi of the defence.

lodging that " as the laws of honor and the
good of his country are the elements of his
existence, his mind cannot be tranquil until
the Secretary of war, the supreme govern
meat, and the Republic are satisficd with
his , conduct, considered udder every aspect."
This hutuble letter does net save him from
the lettet: writers. They charge him with
the grossest cowardice and incompetency.
But we.)iave neither time nor space to day
to enter further into the Mexican accounts of
the battles. One thing We must note how
ever: Almost all then- accounts say that
they refused to capitulate until we agreed to
salute their flag. Before:the two mouths'
armistice expires, the'MeXicaus count con
fidently that Santa Anna will have an arra) ,
around him which will prevent any further
advance, of'Gen. Taylor.

niE ARMY.
We have nO very lute intelligence from
our troops-at Monterey. Gen. Taylor is ev
idently remaining there,-anticipating the ar
rival of reinforcements, suppli.:s, &c., for a
more vigorousi prosecution of the war. The
President has called for nine Regiments of
the VolunteerS who so patriotically tendered
their services ti; the government, when there
was little prospect of being required tn fight.
These regiments are to be taken from nine
different States, Pennsylvania being includ
ed in the number. That from this State is
'to rendezvous at Pittsbtirgh.• All are to
serve during the Mexican war, which is
-without the appearance of 4 speedy termina
q
;ion. Indeed the chances favor a protracted
war. Never, since ou: troops were first sta
tioned upon the banks of the Rio Grande,
were the Mexicans more diligent in making
preparations for defence, or more resolute in
their determirtatinn -to resist invasion. In
order to raise Vie necessary means for resist
ance, all classes of Mexican citizens are as
sessed in4rCportion to their ability to con
tribute, trod !submit to arbitrary taxation
with astonishing alacrity. The resources of
Mexico are being developed, while the ener
gies of the pec',* ate effectively aroused.—
The fortifications at Vera Crun are now be
ing made doubly strong. Even Mexican
women, such Is their enthusiasm, with spade
in hand, are aidiag, to intrencli the city.—
The garrison of the citadel has been materi
ally increased, 'and troops are contivally
locking thither frotn the interior. The
failure of our Calf squadron, in their late
attacks upon Alvarado, tends to inspire the
enemy with confidence in their boasted abil
ity sne,cessfully to repel any and all assaults
upon Vera ('ruz not only, but other impor
taut towns expos'ed to attack by our navy.
It is said-that Commodore Conner is to be
reinforced by : the Princeton and some other
cr;-ft, wlym Le is to make another effort to
capture Alvarado. Should he a third time
,fail, we shall Certainlylose confidence in that
arm of our national strength.
. We shall not be taken at all by sprprise,
should the President so conclude, in order
to a mole speedy termination of hostilities,
to call t.r.t, in ! -place of nine, are , : times that
namber of Volunteer Regiments for actual
service, du lag the existence of war with
Mexico. A t t Onsiderable number of troops
will be required. to garrison the towns al
rcaOy captured, and still more.for vanquish
in.l and
_garrisoning the much larger and
consequently much less emily managed cit
iesalung die Santiago and. Panuco, which
are probably the chosen. points of future op
erations.
WErrtot: Virtually Defeated.
The - fiires!show that Wilmot would have
been defeated,. at the late election, if there
had been a fel vote of the people.
We give below the loss.on the vote in each
county in the 'district, since 1844, with the
loss on Wihnot's majority, which slows that
his loss was ,greatly increased with the in
crease of the vote,—and.with the increase
of his loss, in the same ratio on a full vote,
he would have been defeated by several
hundred majority.
Here are the figures:
