Very Interesting News from Gen. Tay-
lnr,S C..mn.

This evenings southern mail brings some deeply
interesting and thrilling news from our gallant army.
We lay before readers at all the copOus de-
tails which have reached in the extra Picayuue Of
this day week (Sunday.) of course we cannot vouch
for the entire accuracy Of these statements
In addition to the information thus received, we
have had the pleasure of seeing Capt Eaton, who has
brought dispatches from Gen. Taylor the War De-
partment. Capt. Eaton left camp at Monterey on
the evening of the 18th of September. He deserves
great credit for the alacriy and energy which he has
exhibited in reaching Washington from Monterey in
sirLeen days.
We have time for further comment tonight.
Our army has again covered itself with glory 1t has
driven the Mexcans from their strong entertainments,
very precpItous heights ON both sides of the Rio
Gel Tlgre-sOrmiDg them In the face Of the enemy
and their guns-beatng army of double their own
force, has been estimated, and after four days
fighting, and driving the enemy from entrench-
ment after another, and from TO street, compel
ling them to surrender Monterey with all its supplies
of ammunition, provision, &C., and cannon, with
very small exception. Neither army is to pass
specified line-which is perhaps nearly half way be-
tween Monterey and Saltillo-under eight weeks
Bat this driSice, IN the first place. DOES not embrace
other lines of operations; and secondly al IS sub
jeci, IN express TERMS 10 The orders and nStruci
the tco governments. The army is worthy Of all
praise for the galantry and skill which have been dis
played by our officers and troops both volunteers and
regulars. This is another brilliant military event In
the annals of our country.
But in obtaining this glorious victory, we have lost
many a noble officer and gallant soldier. The hearts
of their countrymen are filled with the deepest graft
tude for the heroic services of these brave who
have thus given their lives the cause of their
try; and the whole nation profoundly sympathises
with their bereaved families and friends.
We must reserve, until Tomorrow, the official de-
tails Of this brilliant achievement.

A DEACON'S EXPERIENCE.

In the town of W, in this State, while
elder K. was preaching, on the forenoon of the
Sabbath, few years since, a MI. C rose,
and asked leave 10 tell his experience. The FL.
der desired him tn wait till the sermon was over,
which he did When the amen was pronounced
he sprang upon his feet, aud began To relate re
hgous experience of some twenty odd years
The first half year having taken up more time
than the sermon, the Elder became impatient, and
tried In vain to stop him. The congregation
we're also out of patience, and several who knew
him venured To ask him TO postpone what he had
To say ill after dinner, hut to no purpose. Al
length Deacon True walked up to him, and put
ting his hand gently upon his shoulder, whispered
in his ear, - Brother c., want to speak word
to you in private" and turning round, walked di
recly out of the door but looking over his shnuI.
der as he crossed the threshold, Mr. c., with
great simplicity, cried, " Deacon, it's no use-I
haven't gpt a cent of money-and the old colt s
dead" IL is, perhaps, unnecessary TO add that
Brother G.. had bought a colt of the deacon a few
months before, and that he supposed the - word
IN private" was TO dun him for The pay. Though
Sunday the congregation broke up in roar OF
laughter.
