and we were curious enough TO inquire of

BATTLE AT MONTERREY.
Full list Of Killed and Wounded in The
MISSISSIPPI REGIMENT.


We have the pleasure of laying before our
readers Lthe following interesting account of
the battle Of Monterey. 1t was sent to us in
proper time, but owing to some wretched mis-
management Of the Post Offices in New Or
leans and Point Isabel, it did not reach US until
yesterday, although post marked October 6, at
Point Isabel. 1t is so full and complete, how
ever, so far as the Mississippi regiment is con-
cerned, that we hasten to give the whole of it
in a second edition rather than reserve any por-
ton, as it could not be prepared entire for the
mornings paper The friends Of volunteers in
every part of the State may rely on its correct-
ness, as great pains were taken to obtain the
whole list of killed and wounded. To those
abroad, who may not know what credence to
give the letter, it may be proper for us to state
that the writer is a brother of the editor Of the
Whlg-Lieut. r. X. Arthur, Of the Vicksburg
Southrons-and we have no hesitation in as
surlng friends abroad that reliance can be
placed on all his statements, being a partici-
pant and an eye witness of what he describes.
The list oil killed and wounded is from the
Adjutant. Our correspondent, we are happy
to observe, thinking there was glory enough
for all in our regiment, has detracted from none,
although the scenes Immediately around him
could only be described accurately. Accord
ing to his account, the gallant McClung was
not wounded at the first but at the second fort,
Just as he was in the act of receiving the
sword of the Mexican officer. He desires us
to state that in saying that the LIST, Sd and 4th
infantry were r%epulsed, from the fort, (taken
afterwards by the volunteers,O he gave what
was the general understanding among all
they were certainly driven back-but as he de-
slres to do no injustice to any portion, even of
the regulars, to give. them the benefit of their
own statement. The regulars say that only a
porto" Of the Sd and 4th and part of the Bal
timore Battalion were engaged, and they do not
consider it a repulse. He has done full Justice
to all we think in other portions of the letter.

A Change of Tone,

Heretofore it has been the practice Of the
Administration prints, in order to minister IN
what they supposed to be popular prejudice,
and thus make political capital, to be very fl.
nous and SeUere upon Great Britain. They
would declaim against the "arrogance,, and
"insolence" of the British Government. warn
our people against the "designs, of Great
Britain; declare that Great Britain was back.
ing and sustaining Mexico, and predict that
Great Britain would soon interfere with the
Otfairs of the American continent in such n
way as to require ACTION on our part! This
language has been kept up until a very recent
period. We are happy, however, to notice and
record an entire change Of tone at present, and
that the good example has been set by the
Union, the official Government journal. AS
proof of this we extract the conclusion of n
long article in the Union, in which the views
of the English press with regard to the Mexi-
can War are examined and criticised. The
Union says:
"Upon the whole, after making due allow
ance for certain little customary crepitations
towards %us-which we are disposed to look
upon rather as evidences Of tn. force of hlbit
than of any real and deliberate purposc--tho
perusal of these articles has forcibly recalled
to mind a private letter received not long ago
by a gentleman in this city from a friend then
in England, one of the truest Americans that
ever planted his foot upon a foreign shore. and
at the same time one Of the most saracious.
enlightened, and liberal. The letter, which is
dated London, July 3, begins as follows:
"MY DEAR -: The entente cordiale, has
been lin truth and reality established between
Great britain aud the United States. From his
day, hencgorM and forever, the bonds of friend.
ship are ind'sSOluble. England is dsporting her.
sell with great p%ropriety as relates to the Mex
lean war. She is fully prepared to hear of our
acquisition Of the CALIFORNIA;. have been &C.
cusionally upon change; and, from what /
can learn, the merchants expect such an occur
renee. The politicians | am sure do"
So wrote this American from London. And
now, judging from (f We cannot exactly say
the tone, YETI what may be called the essential,
because the practical, part of these articles in
the principal London papers, it would really
seem that he was not over sanguine in saying
that Sin truth and reality the entente cordiale
has been established.' Long may these indica-
tons of the truth of his saying continue to
come over to u.s."
This is certainly '~roaring US gently as a
sucking dove" and is a very tame conclusion
to the previous and long-continued outbreaks
of the Union and its co-laborers. Neverthe.
less, as it is a true conclusion, we are glad to
see it arrived at, even at this late day.-Ahr.

Ye shall meet in the spirit land"

Beware! we will meet again.n
