Gentlemen: Things around the city be

Rancheros are busiIy engaged in gather
ing their old crops and planting or cutlvat
ing the new ones. The citizens in towr
are resuming their avocations, and almos
daily some new mercantile establishment
is opening that has been closed during the
late engagements. The reyeiIlc, guard
mounting, and tattoo, however, served t.
remind US of the days that have just pass
ed. Guard posts are located in variou:
parts of the city to afford security to per.
sons and property of both the Americans
and MeXicans remaining here.

sippi Volunteers, am happy to say, are

morally are doing well.
There is report current in town that
Santa Anna has issued proclamation, oe-
cIaring his intention not 10 stop until he
has placed his foot on The banks of the
Sabine, and exhorting his countrymen to
aid and assist him, by all means in their
power, in driving the invading Americans
from the country.
An express arrived here from Washing
ton, on the evening of 10Th inst, fifteen
days from Washington as | learn, with in
structions to the commanding general TO
prosecute the war with renewed vigor;
therefore, we have every reason to be-
lieye, that as soon as supplies can be
got here, the army will probably d.
rect its attention towards Linares, as that
town does not come within the line of the
armsIice.
On Saturday last, Father Rey, Catholic
chaplain to the American army, admins.

There was large attendance1from the ar

subject" Confession as a means of mo.

with mastery ability, and was listened to
throughout with profound attention. The
Cathedral is a very splendid building, of
the Corinlhian style, occupying space
of ground of about 200 feet in front and
800 deep. The exterior bears the marks

ATTACK ON ALYARADO !
It's failure on account of lou Wafer

A correspondent of the Picayune gives
the following details of The attack upon
| Alvarado, and the causes of its failure:
OFF ANTON LIzARDo, Oct. 10.
GeRtlemen:--W are on the eve of an.
other attack on Alvarado At five o'clock
this afternoon, com. Conner issued or.
ders for the sailing of the squadron, (fri-
gates Cumberland and Raritan excepted, J
for the mouth of the Alvarado river. The
commodore takes command of the expe.
diton in person, making use of the steam
er Vixen as his flag ship for the occasion.
One o'clock tomorrow morning is the
time fixed for getting under weigh, and
already the steamers Mississippi, Vixen,
and McLane are firing up. Besides these
vessels, the force consists Of the revenue
cutter Forward, schooners Refer, Petrol,
and Bonita, and prize schooner Nonita. -
This latter vessel was recently captured
from the Mexicans, and was formerly the
American schooner Belle, ont of your
port She now mounts four 42.pound car
ronades. For the past month we have
been drilling our men as infantry, upon a
small island here, and Jack is so anxious
for the fight, that he marks time with a
good grace, and every one appears pleas
ed that at last we are to have a chance al
the enemy.
At the mouth of the river the Mexicans
have a ten gun battery, and we know OF
a brig of war, and two gun-boats being
anchored inside. A number of their
small merchantmen have taken refuge in
the harbor, and there must be a smart
sprinkling of prize-money in store for rs.
October l6.--Our sailing orders for the
morning of the l4lh inst, were counter.
manded, in consequence of its blowing too
fresh for operations -occasioning delay
of the expedition for twenty. four hours.
We sailed, however, at o'clock, A. M,
yesterday, but regret to say that we are
all at anchor again today, and Alrarado
is yet in possession of the Mericans.
You are pleased TO call the former at.
tack on Alyarado an abortion, and sup.
pose you will not be sparing of hard
names for the present failure; but trust
when you examine the facts OF the case,
you will find that it is owing to the inef.
fcency of the means at the disposal OF
com. Conner, and to the natural delences
of the place itself, that we have been unsuc-
cessiul, rather than 10 any vast of skill
or courage on his part, or lack of spirit or
support by the officers and men under his
command.
We were within ten miles of the mouth
of the river at daylight, aud stood slowly
into shore, il being dead cam--th Vixen
and McLane towing the schooners-thc
Mississippi anchored at long shot distance
and commenced her fire. Up to this time
everything appeared highly favorable to
the success OF tho expedition. There be-.
ing heavy swell on the bar, the pilots
declined taking the vessels over. The
commodore leading in the Vixen, with the
rest OF the force following, passed by the
fort, each vessel firing her broadsido as

We believe that the determination OF

ence aud foresight aud we have no doubt
the necessary forces are now under way
for the approaching campaign. However
whatever orders may have issued to Toy-
Tor, they will be promptly obeyed. We
cannot fear the result, though great loss

or The latest news from the army, and
from Mexico, will be found under the APP
proWiato heads. It is not known that an
immediate onward movement from Monte
rey was intended, although it is surmiscd
that the orders from government were to
that effect. We learn that Col. Davis does
not proceed to Washington, as wo stated
last week, but will return to the army the
las. of the month. If universal mmor is
to be believed, an attack on Tampco will
be the Ecxt event Of the war.

We see that some man at the North
proposes TO take the castle at Vera Cruz
by means of balloon to be moored over
the castle at the height of mile, by u ca
bic five miles long, and from thence 10
throw down percussion bomb shells and
torpedos with which the balloon is to be
loaded, to the extent of 10000 pounds
weight. We think a, better plan would be
TO build tunnel under the sea, and then
mino and blow up the castle. 1t is true
il Is surrounded by water on every side,
and is built on a solid rock, which would
render tuuneling and mining rather diff.
cult, but still we think the plan as feast.
bic as the balloon. 10 be serious, how.
ever, it is strange 10 see what absurd plans
are thus put forth through the public press,
and this one is now travelling the rounds
of the Union, without comment on its
absolute absurdity. In the first place, a
balloon with rope attached to it, the
moment il got 10 the end of the rope,
would not only cease ascending, but the
force of the wind would Immediately in.
cline i, 10 the earth, and the stronger the
wind the nearer it would approach.
Ii is proposed that the balloon should be
capable of supporting $4,000 pounds
weight of bombs, &c, but there is no
calculation for the weight of a cable FIVE
miles long, which would be, even of a
small sized cable, about 100000 pounds.
The whole idea is almost as grea, a piece
of absurdily as we have ever seen grave.

FATAL EFFECTS OF GAS.

The writer Of all obituary notice of
Mrs. NJ. g. Bull, of Westfeld, Mass.
published in the News Letter. states the
following circumstances as TO the cause Of
her death :-'ln August last, she spent a
night at a hotel in Boston her sleeping
room was lighted by gas %notknowing the
proper mode of extinguishing it, she sue
ceeded in blowing it out, but left the gas
running in the room all night; unless a
window had been left up, she would un-
doubtedly have persisted. When she a.
woke, her lungs were oppressed, and res
piration difficult. The following day she
assembled to the top of the State House
and to the top of Bunker Hill Monument
and soon after had a slight hemorrhage
from the lungs, October 9th, she bled
copiously, and continued to do so each
day until the 18th, and diedon the 26th."
