The impression made upon us by the mag

pensearound us, cannot be imparted in a
short and hurried letter.—Sahrreksy Gkaner.
Lieut. Col. Belton.
This gallant and distinguished son of Bal
timore has been in every engagement of our
army (except Contreras,) from the capture
of Vera Cruz and its dependencies, when be
lees appointed Governor of the Castle of
San Juan de l3lloa, to the hoisting of our
" Stars and strir+3" and the establishment
of our authority in the city of Mexico, where
he has lately been. made Lieut. Governor
under Major Ge'neral Quitman.
It must have been gratifying to Geo. Scott
to find himself. surrounded in this campaign
by seveiLal of hie old officers wilco distinguish
ed themselves in 1814, but we doubt wheth
er any` circumstances haeafforded - him more
gratification then the fact, that Worth and
Belton, both of them active and favorite
members of his military family at that time,
should again share his toils and glories in
the wonderful exhibition he has planned and
carried out with, so much credit to himself
and Ins country.
Since the Army left Vera Cruz, we be
lieve Lieut. Col.; Belton has been, the senior
officer of artillery in the field, hut he has
been constantly in command of his regiment,
the 3d artillery,, in the first division under
Major General Worth ; and certainly that
division, if it had done nothing else, acquir
.ed glary enough for itself on the Bth Sep
tember& in the attack upon Molino del Rey,
when nearly half of its'officers and men were
killed or wounded., and when, incredible as
it may seem, going into action with only
eighteen hundred men, they carried positions
'almost impregnable, took five pieces of can
non, besides many prisoners, and routed a
bodir of the enemy estimated as high as 18,-
000 . men !—but certainly exceeding 12,000.
Our 'Government sees and rewards merit,
and its we are not aware that any brevet has
yet been conferred on Lieut. Col. Benton for
his good conduct in Mexico, we trust that
promotion worthy of hM high services is
in store for hint, In due time and upon
fit occasion, his native city will remember
her gallant son.—Batt. Sun.
Major Twfinro--Death of rather and
MI
Only two weeks have gone by., since we
were called upon to announce the lamented
death of George Decatur Twiggs, a young
man of,rare worth and intelligence, and the
only and beloved son of Major Twiggs, of
the United States Marine Corps. And now,
the painful duty devolves upon us of record
ing the death of the father, Major Twiggs
himself, who fell while discharging his duty
as au officer ef the army, and battling in the
cause of the nation: Thus father and eon
have both fallen on the battle-fields of Mexi
co—tho death of one followed by that of the
other within a ;`few days. The Major,' his
sou, and the other bronchi , " of the highly
respected family, came to this citto reside
about four years, ago. The m Mher and
daughters are still here at our Navy Yard.
The Major and Lieutenant left Philadelphia
in June last for Vera Cruz, with the armies
under Colonel Watson's command, to join
General Scott's army in Mexico. • The Ma

Pierce, and arrived in safety at' the seat bf

SANTA ANNA.—The late news from Mex
ico in another column, gives the last exploit
(probably the last he will make) of this un
fortunate General. His attack on the gar
rison at Puebla, under Col. Childs, like all
the
,rest of his achievements, proved a fail
ure ; even cotton bales, which saved Gen.
Jackson, could not give him a victory.—
Then altering his plans, he sallied out to at-
tack Gen. Lane, at Perote, but before he
.
reached that place his, troops revolted, and
left him with only 130 followers, with which
he was making his way, at the last accounts,
to Oaxaca, probably designing to reach the
PaCific coast, less carefully guarded, and
make his escape from the . country. This
great leader has fallen as low as a leader
can fall ; defeate4 by his enemies and de
serted by his friends; there is nothing left
him but a bad name, and a worse fame.

•Chailebers' Miscellany.
We have received the first volume (three
numbers) of the above work from Messrs.
Gould, Kendall & Lincoln, 59 Washington
street, Boston. To us, and we doubt not to
many of our readers, the name of Chambers
ilia sufficient guarantee of the charae.ter of
the work. The Miscellany is precisely such
a work as will entertain every one, of what
ever position in life, or frame of mind, who
looks into its pages ; and if we mistake not,
when it and the low price for which it may
be obtained becomes better known, it will
have a very general circulittion..
The Miscellany is published in numbers,
at 25 cts. each, three numbers forming a
volume, and, each number a complete work
in itself—illustrated with engrtivings. It is
not mark up from miscellaneous matter pre
viously, published and read in this country,
but entirely new to thei great mass of Amer

A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
says, that one of the aids of Gen. Scott, who
had to join him at the palace, and was de
tained two hours by au engagement between
our troops and the citizens Sring from the
windows and houset n ps, at last penetrated
to Gen. Scott's room, where he found the
war-worn veteran quite at ease, writing de
spatches, while the enemy's bails were- fly
ing about Ihim in every direction; he not
heeding them a bit more than Charles XII
did when placed in a similar predicament.
The Ain, bravery, and indomitable courage
of that greatest living Captain have not been
half enough acknowledged by his country
men; 'and ancient and modern history may
*ell be challenged to show greater feats of
arms, or greater and sterner devotion to du
ty and , country than are exhibited by Gen.
Seat.
Pacnacrrms.—lt is said that the govern
ment is determined that no promotions shall
take place in the army now in Mexico, or
no appointment to: , fill a vacancy, unless
made from those actually engaged in the
service of the country, or from those who
have rendered efficient service during the
war. It is but just that those who have dia
tinguished theniselvea in the campaign,
ihould fink reap the henors attending it.

Tua New YORE ELECTION took place on

While we lament this division in our ranks
in the Empire State, we cannot help notic
ing the laughable scenes presented at the
meeting. Here is a specimen :
" Ma. BR4DY—Fellow Citizens—[" Bah,
you said tht# before. •Give us a variation :
say fellow 1 sinners"—laughter.] Fellow
citizens, if t ere are any gentlemen in the
room—[" N there aint—not one"—roars of
laughter, and cries of " turn him out"] 1

who desire to occupy this rostrutn'iNi prefer.

"Go on." 'Yes, yes."]
THE FUTURE POLICY.—From the indica
tions at the 'seat of govern rent, the war,
hereafter, will be waged at the expense of
Mexico. The Union says: "She must. be
made to feel the weight of military contri-,
butiotts, under the rigor . 'of martial law in
her provinces and her cities. Her guerrlla
system of warfare, in so far as it departs
from the itsages and the rules of civilized
war, must he met and chastised on our part
by corresponding severity. Her guerrillas,
as they tire 'organized, and as they
.now op
erate, are brigands rather than soldiers ; and
as such they must be treated. It is to such
principles of policy and procedure on our
part, that the country now looks for its 'poly
hope of a Speedy and honorable peace.—
With this view, we doubt not, t hat when
Congress assembles, ample provisions will
he readily made of all the means requisite
in our future operations in Mexico, to 'up
hold at onee the justice , and homir of our
country." • A communication frinzi . the pen
of a vigorous writer, appears in the Union,
upon the war and its prosecution, in which
reflections Worthy of consideratiOn are pre
sented. We have only room for the follow
ing paragniplis, in reply to`the project urg
ed by somei, of the withdrawal of the troops,
and fortifying line which we mean to hold.
He says:
Many distinguished names have been in
favor of , withdrawing our troops to the line
which we mean to claim—then to fortify
and hold Oat line,. We consider this a vis
ionary and weak project. 'Would it be

We are all anxious to learn the purport of
Mr. T rises despatches, and this the more en
as the Union sometime since said that if
Trist has really seriously ionsidered
question of the Nueces.for a boundary, heir
worse than a• " Mexican Whig." 1 -trust
that Mr. Ttist has' done no Inch thing. ,It
is now freely admitted that it is highly ne
cessary that. Mr. Trist should come home,
inasmuch as his very presence seems tocon
sole the Mezie,ans with the belief that we are
still ready for peace; in spite , of the treache
ry committed by Santa Anne before Mexico.
-But they are mistaken. Thn idea of nego
tiation is wholly abandoned by the adminis
tration, which is at last convinced that we
have ourselves 'to fix thefuttne boundary of
Mexico, whether a so called) Mexican gov-,
ernment Consent, to it or not. What that
frontier is to be, is not yet determined upoa, f
and on this also,the message will tacit likely
be silent.
As for the levying a contribution of $150,-
.000,.demanded by Gen. Scott of the City 'of
-Mexico, itis far from satis fy ing the-just ex
pectations of our government. A ' million
would have been little enough, after what
our troops had suffered.- •
I say this without detriment to Gen:Scott,
Whose motives for being di - us lenient to, a
desperate roe,', may be easily apfteciated.—
ContributiOns will henceforth , be levied on
all large towns, and the one:hundred and fif--
ty thousand 'dollars -furnished by the Capi
tal, is considered as the firstiinstaltnent of a
much larger sum, due us bidher wealihy in
habitants. If it be true thatl the majority of
the Mexican population are tndiffe rent to the
war,' and have to be caught in lasso, and
dragged to the fortificatiorniiihey are to de
fend against our troops, then the war must
be carried on in a manner to make the
wealthy feel, and the military martinet rue
it; which can only be done by Levying hen
vy contributions, and proqeeding with the'
utmost s e verity. Their chiefs ought to be
hung as fast as our Rangers seize upon them.•
