This disiingoished offieer(Gineral Worth)
is, ptobably, the best looking man in the ar
my. When I saw ,him, at Camargo, he
was Gen. Taylor's right hand man. Every
thin; *as - !left to General :Worth. As the
different volunteer reiunents reached Ca
meral), their Colonels would generally re
port to' Gen—Taylor for orders where to en
-camp, &c,, and " Old tack's!' invariable
- reply was, "go to Gen. 'Worth." The
Beauty, as the soldiers all him (Worth) is, ,
probably, the severest disciplintirian in the
army. He punishes, and sometimes severe
ly, all infractions of discipline. Yet he
. is
univerialljrpopular, and, like Gen. Taylor,
never Shows himself but the volunteers cheer
him. I once saw him in his marquee ; he
was reading a large folio ; and I had received
some newspapers which I thought he would
like to see. I accordingly stepped up to his
tent, and said : " - General, I have brought
you• a few numbers, of the Philadelplia
Ledger and Washington Intelligencer. I
received them only to-day, and they are
probably later dates than you have seen."
This was - about the 19th day of August last,
only one or two days before he removed with
his brigade towards Monterey. He replied :
" Thatik you, thank yin]. Has the express .
got in 1": , .I replied, " No,- General ; it is
the orctinlery steamboat mail." " Well," he
added,' yOn can call and get these - papers
before tattoo." I replied, "I have read
. ,
them , pfobably General. Taylor would like
to see them." He rejoined : "Ah ! yes ; I
will giie 'them to the General." This is all
I ever' iadto do, with the " Beauty."
It bas been, with some persons, a cause
'of ceneureagainst this officer that he was
not present at the battles of the Bth and 9th
of May last. The circumstances are sim
ply these; He had beet; promoted to a
Brevet Brigadier Generalship by President
Tyler, for - -,“ gallantry and 'meritorious con

The War And Its Victims
Since j the commencement ;of the war
with Mexico, we have killed and wounded
at leastlo,ooo of her soldiers, and taken pos.
sesion of immense tracts of her teritory.—
Nevertheless, there are no indications of
peace. It is estimated moreover, by a Wash
ington letter-writer, that our lobs in killed
and wounded is 3,010; and that there have
died of tin: climate 2,soo—making, together,
510 men ,who have been either wounded or
lost to the country in battle or by sickness.
Amongst those who have been 'Allied and
wounded„are some of thenobl4t spirits of
the land—men who were calculated to be
ornaments to their country. The writer
above referred to, thus sums up our losses :
• MEN.
In operations around Matamoros, kill
ed and iwounded; 500
At Montery, / ' 500
At Buenu Vista, - i 800
In incidental skirmishing within'the line

In the operations in New Mexico, killed
and wounded, 250

ner, say 10

The territories of the enemy occupied by
our forces, comprehended, says the writer,
" an area of 800,000 square miles ; -equal,
to fifteen such divisions of territory as the
State Of New York.", Beside this, we have
possessioq of Vera Cruz and seSeral other
places; and perhaps of the city of Mexico,
hut it haibeen insolently rejected, and defi
ance hurled in our teeth. In this condition
of affairs what Shall be done '1
VIOLATION or Psant.x.—Gen. Canalizo,
in his address to the. Mexican Army of the
29th Meech, said that the troops from Pue
bla, and the army of the North, would be
joined by . " those who so heroically 4efend
Vera Cnir. and "the Castle of ' San Juan
against otir implacableenemies. , "The New
tiSrleanal.)elta calls Gen. Scott's attention
to this unworthy paragraph, as Gen. Catta
il= must have been aware that the " val
iant defenders" of Vera Cruz were dismissed
on parole. As a soldier, his deliberate sanc
tion of a violation of a pledge, regarded by
every soldier as &wed, will no doubt sug
gest to Gen. Scott the ,necessity ok inquiring
into the fact, - whether ourliberality i llasbeen
abused, :and the obligations of , military
honor and law, disregarded, by the subse
quent employment of the prisoners of 'Vera
Cruz in the service of the enemy.,
Should, any of the Mexicans be discovered
thus violating their honorable obligations,
we trust Gen. Scott' will deal With them
summarlyi Gen. Canalizo, who ':has .beau
able, by virtue otvery large mouitachios, a
very ferocious !oak, and very loud talking,
to acquire great Military couseqiience ant : .
ong the tiexxcane, so that he is familiarli
known to; the' rabble of the Capital as, the
" Lion of Maim," will, if he becomes pri
soner to dur forces, find in' his late address

one why Ibis limbs should be ornamented
with certain appendages intended:more fig
use than ornament.--Ledger.

Railroad across the Continent-
The subject of the construction Of a rail
road across the continent of America is ex
citing considerable attention and l iderest.—
WHITNEY'S route from Lake Mighigan to
the Pncific wns the first to be presented to
the public, and the originator of the plan is
yet urging its adoption by Congres. What
may he the result of his exertions, the fu
ture will develops. In the mentitirne, a
project is started for a southern 'read from
the. Lower Mississippi, through Teins to the
Rio del Norte, near El Paso, and from
thence by, the valley of the Gila to San
Diego, on the Pacific. The Washington
Union, of the 14th' ult., publishesthe follow-
ing interesting letter in relation AU !the !pro;
ductiveness of thevalley of El Paso through
whichit is proposed that the road shall pins :
EL Peso, Jan. 25,:1847.
My object in this •communicntion is to
vgtve the war department; and the country
es - large, some Wits otthe.resoutc of thc
fruitful valley of El Paso; and its itivortnnce
to the- United States. The settletuOnt Of El
Paso extends from the falls of .the
Grande, on the north, to the Preiicio, on the
south—a distance' of 22 Miles--and is one
continuous orchard and vineyard,;embrac
ing in'its ample area, an induStrions :and
peaceable population of at least S l ,OO. t s
spacious valley is about midway, between
Santa Fe and Chihuahua, and is: isoltved
from all other Mexican settlements by the
mountains that 'rise on. the, east lan& the
west, and close into the river on the n'orth
and south. The breadth of We Valleh is
about ten miles. The fells of the. liver ; are
3010
25410
. .4.44
5510
two miles north of the "Plaza pdblica,'!' or
public square, and afford sufficient witter
power fur grist and saw mills enough to Sup
ply the entire settlement with flour and lim
ber. The tkost important proditctioti of
this valley is the grape, from whieltiare ,an
nually manufactured not less than .90,000
gallons of perhaps. the richest anti best 'Wine
in the world. This wine is worth two I dol-
Mrs per gallon, and constitutes the; tirindple
revenue of the city. - The El Paso wines
are superior in richness of flavor and pleas
antness of taste, to any of the kind I ever
met with in the United States, and I dqubt
not that they are far superior to the hest
wines ever produced in the valleY , of Abe
Rhine, or on the sunny hills of Fr,ance.—
Also great quantities of grape of this valley
are dried in dusters and, preserved ( for 'ise
during the winter. In this state Il regard
them as far superior to the best raisins that
are imported into the United States:
If this valley was cultivated by •an eaer.
getic American population, it would yield,
perhaps, ten times the wine and ftuits; at
present procured. Were the wholesome
and protection of our republican' in
stitutions extended beyond the Rio del Nike,
an American population, possessinr4ikmeri
can feelings, and speaking the. Ameripan
language; would soon spring up bete..
,To
facilitate the peopling of this . valley ilt {the
Anglo-American race, nothing would con
tribute so,rouch as the opening of a commu
nisation between this rich valley find !the
western states by a turnpike; rail,ioad; or
some other thoroughfare that would Affoi'd a
Market for the fruits and wines of this river
country. - ' -1
Perhaps the most feasible and economical
plan;though not the most director opening
an outlet to the, grape valley of the Itio
Grande s would :he the amlaraatiaa of a
grand canal from this place, folloiring the
meandering of the river to its higheikneiti=
gable point. If a , communication by either
1 of theyeyoutes Was opened, this valley would
soon- become the-erat ~ or-wealth; influence,
