From the Union ofWcdncsday night.

Major james Graham left Washngtop this
morning, in the Southern tram, with despatch
es for Gen. Taylor. II is believed that he car
rics out instructions for terminating "thc tenn
porary cessation of hostilitcs.'
One would suppose that the battles Of Palo
Alto and Rcsaca de- la Palma would have been
sufficient to ''inclnc the Mexican Govern
mcnt to sue for peace But Mexico was too
blind and vain glorious to feel her lnterorty,
even after those two memorable defeats. She
may fall into the same error the present
occasion, and it may be necessary to give her
blow after blow, and TO stun her int" her
senses.
We have no apprehension of Gen Taylor :
strength or success. He has, probably, by
this time, 10000 troops al Montcrcy--ior other
troops were on the advance to reinforce the
6OOO which hc carried with him We are not
afraid of any force which AmpudIn can bring
against hun. The pass between Monterey
and Saltillo is the only important obstacle
which lies IN our way and the twenty odd
pieces of heavy artillery which we have won
at Monterey can scarcely he substituted by
other cannon on the part of the enemy, while
they will contribute to open our way through
the mountain passes. They cannot cope with
us in the open fcld-for no one now doubts
that II, 900 of our troops are sufficient TO de-
feat any force which the McXlcans may bring
against us. Why, then, should We pause IN
our victorious career Why should our
forces crest at Monterey for the present, and
thus pcrml, the time of our twelve months
volunteers to waste away in nacuon
The papers have been spccuatmg upon an
expedition to Tampco We see no good rca-
sons why il should not be undertaken We
have still at least 10000 troops IN the army of
the Rio Grandc. Allowing General Taylor $
camp at Monterey to have onc-hai ot th'm,
we have about 10000 more in that wing OF the
army, to furnish troops sufficient for new
expedition, besides guarding the points we oc-
cupy ON the river, and maintaining the CON
ncction between our different d"pots' we
hope bv the time that the armstcc would
have expired of itsclf.wc shall see our triumph
ant flag flying at Chihuahua, AT Salullo, and
if the newspaper spcculatons ar" to b" be-
licvcd perhaps at Victoria, Uhe capital OF
Tamaullpas,) and at TamPico.

CHAPTER THE Hero Introduced.
Seplolrmus Trunco was one of those
singular unfortunate individuals, against
whom all creation seems (by their own

He was leh by the decease OF rela-

by good management and economy to in
sure complete independence. But the sl'r|
otherwise ordered his movements, and,
under It's banelu influence, he himself
and everything about hun we're going TO
ro, as fast as possible. His days were
passed IN vain regrets that he was not
like other men, and in bewailing the
concalcnalion Of circumstances that had
made him no other than Septolemus
Trunco. There must have been some
mental mallormaton in his case, for he
saw everything through false medium.
Nothing belonging TO him possessed any

him unless i, was the property Of anoih-

things would naturally induce on his part

se essions Of his fellows, and 40 II did. But
Septolcmus Trunco was a petty p'liercr.

laws Of the land. The statutes took no

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF OCCTPATIoN,
Camp before Monterey, Sept. %, leI6.
Sir--I have the honor to report that the
troops under my command, including the
mounted volunteers from Texas, marched from
Marin on the 18th, and cncampcd before Mon
tcrcy on the 10Th instant. 1t was immediate
ly discovered that the enemy occupied the
town in force, and had added greatly to MS
strength by fortifying the approaches and
commanding heights. a close reconnaissance
was made the same evening by the officers oi
engineers and Typographical engineers on both
nanks of the town, and it was determined, on
the information procured, to occupy the Saltll-
lo road in rear of the town, carrying, IT practi-
cable, the several fortified cmincnCcs m that
direction. The ID division Of regular troops
and a portion of Col. lIayss regiment of
mounted volunteers was accordingly detached
under Brir Gcp. Worth on this service, at
noon on the , th.
A ten inch mortar aud two 2i-poundcr how
tiers were placed ~ the battery during the
nicht to play upon the citadel and town. At
: o clock these gnns opened and continued a
deliberate fire, which was returned 10 Gre
ate n still farther diversion IN favor OF O'cn.
Worths movement, the remainder oi the
force. except a camp guard, was displayed
around the centre and lcit of the town. The
infantry and battery of the lst division made
a strong demonstration on tho left, and soon
became 10 closely engaged that moved Tor
