waited ground, but It's guns were well served, and
sweeping considerable distance all around il.
We do not undertake, however, accurately to de-
fine the position Of the troops, the state Of tho
defences, at the different periods Of thethree days.
The official and private letters, with the aid Of tho
above diagram, will elucidate the subject much bet
ter than anything which We can say.
We understand that, 10 the eye Of the spec
tator, the view from the Bishops Palace is
commanding and singulsrly beautiful, embrae-
ing the fields near the town, the height. and
suburbs around it, the town, situated on lower
ground, near the river, or creek, and beyond the
San Juan, range Of low hills; and beyond them,
in the distance, ranges Of lony;mountains towering
to the skies. Monterey appears to be regularly
laid off into streets, of which had trenches in
them, &C., to delay our invading army. The houses
generally one story high, with parapets in 'front.'

the population estimated at about 10000. Most Of
its citizens, particularly the women, had retired
before our army approached. The suburbs
well cultivated, and the side which Worths
division approached, General Arista's palace sp-
peared, striking in its appearance, and ornsmentod
with flowers and orange trees. - -

side with the city, but the palace was never finish.
cd, and its walls were now used as part Of the
defences Of the city. Our troops then storm this
hill, carry its works, and turn its guns upon the
cemetery on the same side Of the town. There Is an
other hill, and more commanding position Dear
the heights Of the Bishops Palace, but the Mexcans
neglected to avail themselves Of its advantages and
to take il in the line Of their fortihcations. The
cemetery below was, however, fortified, and en-
brasures made in its walls, but the guns from the
palace played upon il, and the Mexicans were like
wise driven from this position.
Our troops had advanced in two directions into
the city-Worth's division on one side, and
General Taylor on the other. One mortar was
finally planted in the cemstery, after it was
taken by General Worth, to play on the Plaza
to which most Of the Mexican troops appear to
have retired. A gun, too, had been moved by our
troops into the second story ofa house, and prepa-
rations were making to pierce the wall, for an
embrasure to FIRE upon the Plaza. 1t would APP

ject is TO secure the road to Saltlo and cut of the

heights on both sides Of the Arroyo San Juan, (the
creek OF San Juan, scarcely knee deep at the city

runs into the Rio Grande at Camargo) The first
entrenchment, which Worth's division storms, is

VALUE OF KINDNESS.

The Scriptures abound with exhOFlatiODs
to kindness; from which we infer, that the
Inspired writer's locked uPOn it % most
important grace in the christian character.
Il Is indeed 90: and not only is il eniOiRsd
upon us 10 religious duty but the moralis',
who makes no pFetensiOnS to knOledge Of
The Bible, teaches that il is high privilege
which all should enjoy, 70 The kind one g
another with brOtherly love-" Dependant
upon each other % we all surely are, to
greater OF less degree for many Of the con
vouienceS and eDjOymentS Of liie-boun'
together by the general laws OF Society,
and being social 10 our nature and habIte
without the true spirit Of kindnes, we
cannot be ut peace with all, and glide
smoolhly along upon the current Of Illr
with fai. and pleasant gales. 0, nos this
alone will enable US TO enjoy the refined
pleasure Of pociety-tO live in peace sno
harmony with our (ellow>men, and in the
esteem of the virtuous and wise.
How pleasant 10 that social circle IN
which dweIs a sincere feeling Of kindness
where love and good will prevail. And
more beautiful still tho sight Of brethren
and kinored who dwell together 10 unity
and peace. Affectionate brothers and als-
ters-whO does not admired How soft and
tender the word to each other that fall from
their lips! How pleasant the GENE OF their

their warm, young hearts! A family circle

Of the family Of heaven. And the irlend'

AlI-of ell ages, Bects and conditions,
