only to step to either the Drs. office or Of his

which are very convenient to carry IN the pocket,
and to take few through the day. BY pursuing
this course a cure is often effected in "a hours,
and the patient about his business So great is
the celebrity OF the LoZenges, that thou sands of
persons who have used them, and become acquaint-
ed with their effects, will never be without them.

VERMONT PHOENIX.
Latest from the Seat Of War.

The New Orleans Buleiin Of May 9th, publishes
an account Of i,msh near Point Isabel, between
company Of Rangers and body of Mexican troops
The story is, according to the Bulletin
That Capt. Walker, formerly OF the Texan revenue
seTvre, who has been stationed between Point isabel
aud Gen. raylOr'S camp, with company oi - Texas
Rangers, found several of the teams which had started
lrou the Point inr the camp returning, and re-
ported that the Mexicans on the road.
He started f,om his camp on the 2oih with his whole
force to reconnniirc and II possible 10 open COM
munication with Gen. TAYLOR. He had proceeded as
far as about mid way between Point Isabel and the
camp, when overwhelming Mexican infce appeared
very suddenly. portion Of his troops were raw re-
cruis. He instructed them to keep on his right aud
gave orders to the whole To retire under cover OF a
cha0yerai in view. But his raw troops, panic strck-
en-. scattered in confusion.
The Mexcans advancing with Overwhelming num-
bers, he compelled to retire. He was followed un-
Ill mile of Point isabel, where he arrived with only
twn Of his men. Six others subsequently came on.
Capt. w. estimates the number of Mexicans he en-
couuieed at fifteen hundred, aud he suppnses that at
least thirty fell during the fifteen minutes he engaged
them.
This force is supposed to be portion of that which
had at last accounts crossed the Rio Grande, some
90 or % miles above MatamOras, and which is estimate
ei at 5000 men. II is believed that they had taken a
crcuitous route on the eastern side Of Gen. Taylor's
camp.
The Express and other papers, state Capt. Walkers
Company TO have numbered 10, most Of whom were
killed or taken prisoners.
There are now about 5000 Mexicans on the Ameri-
can side Of the Rio Grande, one half above aud one
hall below Gen. Tayors camp.
The n. o. Pcnyune Of the 9th gives the following
count of this affair
Capt Walker, a gallant Texan volunteer, and
captain in service had been driven into the post
Point Isabel by the Mexcans With his small command he
had sailed forth and encountered the main body OF the
Mexicans-no less than 1900 strong Most Of his be-
ing recruits refused stand by him and made their
Twelve men, however remained firm, and with this little
handful Walker kept the Mexicans in check for half an
hour BY this time OF his had fallen by his side
when his horse shot under him. and he with his
vvng effected their escape and reached the post al
Point Isabel in safety About thirty Sexicans were killed
in this engagement.
This engagement occurred on the 2Sth Captain Walker
got into the post about clock the afternoon of that day
His original force known Texan rangers amounted tS
about 10 men.
The next day Capt Walker volunteered with four
to carry express through To Gen Taylor The attempt
thought almost nolhardy but he persisted The
suit was known when the Ellen ana Clara left.
The Mexicans pursued Capt Walker in his retreat I'll
they within range OF the guns Of the post, when they
in Immediately rereaed The post is very strongly
defended
