II gave me pleasure TO notice an article in your
Union OF the Goth instant, in relation to Lieutenant
William ID. Porter.
| beg leave TO call your attention TO little Incl
dent which occurred board OF the line-ot-batue-
ship Pennsylvania, while lying at the station al
Norfolk. One Of the apprentices Of the ship,
through accident, fell overheard, and was on the
eve Of drowning. Mr.. Porter, being witness to the
perous condition he was in, Immediately sprang
overheard, and rescued him from watery grave.
Such acts ofmsgnanimity, displayed in the char
acter Of an officer, too much praise cannot be be-
slowed upon; and they enttle him to great atten-
ton from the department to which he is attached.

DEPLoRABLE AccIprNr.-Urbeline de Alvear, a
studeni of Georgetown College, and son Of the Bu-
enos Ayrean minister near Washington, was
drowned in the Potomac, near the Foundry, Thurs
day afternoon. The Georgetown Advocate says:
In company with body Of his feow-students, he
was bathing in the river, under the usual precau'
tonary supervision Of one or two Of the professors
Of the institution, and at a moment when he had
swan some distance from the shore, it is supposed
was seized with a cramp, and in spite Of the efforts
to second his call for assistance, was drowned. II
is needless to add that an event unusual carried
the deepest affection to the whole body Of professors
and students of the college, who had in the mean
time hrongcd the shore. The body was recovered
| in the course Of the evening.
At meeting of the students Of Georgetown Col.
lege, held in the hall of the institution, on Friday
| the 29th of May, Mr.. P. Landry in the chair,
Mcssrs. Doyle, Clarke, Longstreth, Andrews,
Smith, and Allemong were appointed a committee
draught resolutions expressive the part of the
students, of the deep sense Of their bereavement in
the death Of their fellowcollegian, Urbelino de Al
wear, of Bucnos Ayres, who departed this life on
Thursday, the 2sth of May in the 18th year of his
age.
The committee reported the following, which
were unanimously adopted
A second time in the annals of our Alma Mater
has the destroyer death been among US. He came
in the midst Of our rcjocings and selected his vic.
when they leave US in the evening Of life when
the conqueror gains naught but feeble form, a
mind unfit for action; but when the young, the tai
ented, and beloved when one whose spirit is buoy
ant with brightest hopes, and whose energies equal
the loftiest dreams of promise; when such one is
carried away, without even the consultations which
religion administers to the dying victims, the
soohngs Of a mothers love, then indeed may
well lament. Feeling that, in the person of our la
mented friend, we have lost a companion whose
mild and amiabe disposition endeared him to our
hearts, and whose exemplary attention to the duties
Of our scholastic life, made him model worthy of
imitation, we, the students of Georgetown College,
have
!. Resolved That, whilst we humbly acknowl-
edge in this sudden visitation the Christening hand
of paterna Providence, and learn from it sauta-
ry lesson, we can but grieve for him whom it has
called from among us.
2 Resolved, That, as slight testimonial of the
respect and affection with which regard his
memory, we will wear Grape for the space Of thirty
days.
3. Resolved, That the president Of the college be
requested to have these resolutions entered the
journal ofthe institution, and that copy, signed by
the chairman and secretary of this meeting, be for
warded to his afflicted family, with the expression
Of tender sympathy for the rreparabe loss they
have sustained.
4. Resolved That these resolutions be published
in the Union, National Intelligencer, Georgetown
Advocate, and Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Republican.
THE MEXlCANS BEFORE THE BATTLE.
The following is an extract from despatch ad-
dressed by General Meja to Paredes The boast
ful prediction is IN amusing contrast with the real
ity that followed it, There is seldom indeed any
thing in farce even that so ludicrous the yalor
Of the Mexican paroles-nothng parallels It but his
diplomacy. His operations the morale Of the
enemy, "by introducing discord between the two
generals commanding, inspiring them with mutual
disgust for each other" must be amusing informa-
ton to Gen. Taylor and Col. Worth.
The contempt exhibited for the latter general, was
probably the fruit of inexperience. IL probably
yielded and gave way by the time the order issued
to the American boys, ito feel for the enemy with
their bayonets!" Such evidences Of "fellow feel
ing for another" must have subdued the obdurate
antipathy Of even Gen. Mea.
The following very amusing piece OF gasconade
is given as an extract Of despatch from General
Mejia at Matamoras TO Paredes
"In order to act with judgment, free from the ex
element, or rather the patriotic fire which stirred
within me at the sight Of the star sPanged banner
floating over the river Of the Rio Grande, allowed
the first moment TO pass without action. Calmness
having resumed its seat, | reflected that the river
was too broad to admit the enemy's being reached
by ouI swords and bayonets, unquestionably supe-
ror to his, and that a cannonadc would only pro-
duce useless shedding of blood, besides damaging
the city, whose buildings are not very strong,
therefore resolved awaiting the arrival Of General
Ampudia, when, with our united force, we might
give decisive blow, with the certainty that not q
single American would escape. | have taken all

ain the meanwhile, have operated against the
morale Of the enemy introducing dscord between the
two generals commanding, inspiring them mutually
with disgust for each other. Worth, the only man
OF talent amongst them, has resigned, and if he
leaves, as believe he will, Taylor alone remains in
command, and for him it would be no compli-
ment to our countrymen, in comparing him to the
most wretched Mexican tailor. | have also en-
couraged desertion amongst the American troops,
and from the 2Sth ultimo no fewer than 26 soldiers
and slaves have passed over to US. In short, the
triumph of the Mexican arms is past all doubt,
either with the reinforcements expect or with the
force under my command Should the enemy pass
the river, their tomb Is open ~
