AN AMERICAN MOTHER. The follow
ing article, published in the Republic Of

read with interest.
ave were shown, the other day letter,
from mother TO her son, volunteer in
the army; and were so much raptured with
its style, that we absolutely forced il from
him, for publication. Its strains are so
much like those which actuated our reyo-
lutionary mothers, and affinity SO great,
that VIC thought our readers could not be-
served with any thing they would relish
more. The son had left without advising
bis mother of the fact of his volunteering
until he had left for the seat Of war; and
she commences her letter as as follows:---
"What shall say, my dear son2 you write
10 me that you have left for Texas. Had
you written TO me, mother, shall volun-
teer,' could have said, no, Texas has
cost me too much already. The bones of
my FIRST born, for aught know, are yet
unburied on he plains Of Goliad, and grief
for his loss, broke bis fathers heart. have
had enough Of Texas. But you are fight
ing TO: your owH country, have chose your
own path, and God prosper you in it; and
il a mothers prayers are of any avail, you
will pass unframed 10 the thickest Of the
fight, where have no doubt you will be;
nor do wish it otherwise; for | would
blush to own COWARD son. But, remem-
Der, H. rashness is not bravery, there
fore, be brave but prudent 1t is your
country, and you have right; yea are in
duty bound-to fight her battles and say
to you fight for your country right or
wrong. That America will ultimately be
victorious have no doubt; yet have not
so contemplate an opinion Of Mexican
vaor as our newspaper editors have
There is good Spanish blood in parts Of
Mexico, and Spanards are not towards as
the Pininsula war will testify. My
earnest prayers are for your welfare,
whatever your lot may be, and that you
may return unframed, credit to your
self and country, is the only hope Of your
devoted mother.'

MExIco.-In an interesting article In
DeBow's Commercial ReUiep, Mr.. Poin-
set estimates the population at 8 ,666 900.
The regular army at 10000. The mill
tia at 100000, of which 100000 are
horsemen, unsurpassed in horsemanshlp
and in the use of the spear and lasso. Mr..
Poinsett has a higher opinion OF the Mex.
can soldiers than would seem to prevail
generally in the United States. They do
not exec! in fire arms, bat practice may
remedy that defect. The city of Mexico
may be approached by Wagon roads IN
various directions. Mr.. Ponsett states
that he saw American Wagons that had
been driven to Santa Fe, thence by Chi.
huahua to the capital, thence 10 Vera Cruz.
He thinks it would be difficult to snbslst
an American army in Mexico.
Our corn and pork eating race would
soon consume the limited supplies produ'
ced annually for the abstemious Mexlcans,
who live chiefly on pepper, beans, and
thin corn cakes Forage, too, is very
scarce. From October until May, continu'
