CITY INTELLIGENCE.

The Volunteers. The company under Capt.
James E. Stewart are still encamped on Chase's
Hill busly engaged in drill and military
exercise, and steadily increasing their numbers.
The Rifle company formed at the Exchange,
encamped yesterday morning in the Park
The Chesapeake RiAemen, under Captain
Steiner, meet every evening for drill, and are
rapidly filling up their ranks. The ship-mas-
tiers and others on the Point, as well as the
German citizens, are forming Volunteer COM
panies, to be rendered to the President for SER
vice in Mexico. The whole number of Vo-
lunteers in the several corps which are organ
izing is between 400 and 500 men, and bet
ter srt Of soldiers, when they have learned the
the acts and mysteries of war, could not be Sc
lected from GU citizens. OF the right spirit,
fearless and independent, should it ever be
their fortunes to meet the enemies of their
country, we feel we'll assured that they will
give such an account of themselves, as will do
lasting credit to the Monumental city," Libe-
raj contributions have already been made, and
we hope that sufficient sum will be obtained
to aid these gallant fellows, in fully equping
themselves, and preparing to march the mo-
ment their services are required.

STRANGE INrIMArIoN. The Washington
correspondent of the New York Herald has
strange, and we believe, an unjust intimation,
in relation to the removal of our army from
Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande. 1t is, that
a company of spectators "was organized in
the city of New York, whose principal object
was the purchase of all the land lying between
the Neuces and Rio del Norte. Having ap-
pointed agents to go to that country, they were
accordingly sent there for that purpose
When they arrived in Texas, information was
conveyed to them not to make any purchases
for some time, as the value of the lands would
be shortly diminished, from the fact that the
United States troops then stationed at Corpus
Christi, would be moved upon the Rio del
Norte How these gentlemen received this
piece of useful information, and from whence,
may be more readily imagined than told; but
true to their mission, portion of the company
returned to New York, leaving one or two
there to buy up all the choice bits that might
offer, in the interim, for the enormous price of
two and three cents per acre. 1t was only last
Saturday that the principal agent of this joint
stock concern passed through this place. on his
way out to the "promised land" receiving, as
matter of course, here, his instructions how
to act. And this is the cause why we are now
plunged into war with Mexico, and, proba-
bly,, with Eng land"
There can be no doubt that the removal Of
the American army from Corpus Christi to the
Rio Grande was the cause Of the outbreak be-

THE NEWSPAPER Press AND THE WAR.
There is remarkable unanimity in the sup
port which the newspaper press Of the coun-
try gives to the war. Whatever difference of
opinion may exist among editors in reference
to the expediency of the removal of the army
from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande, there
Is general concurrence in supporting the
Government in the prosecution of the war
The spirit Of party appears to have subsidized
for the time, and to have been substituted by
patriotism. Now and then we see feeble eff
fort made to mingle party feeling with passing
events; and IN quarters where it should be
least expected. The Washington Union re-
tains too much of this ill-timed spirit. 1t harps
all in defence of the country-and some of the
leading prints of the opposite party, OCCASION
ally initiate the bad example. But still the
unanimity of the press in sustaining the honor
and interests of the nation is unexampled, and
deserving of great praise. Nor is this harmo-
ny confined to those connected with the press.
The whole community seems to be animated
by the same impulse, and guided by the same
principle. Every one looks to the operation OF
our army with eager eyes, and with the anx-
ious desire that it may be triumphant over the
enemy. The universally of this feeling must
satisfy foreign powers, that, however the A
mercan people may dispute about local mat
tiers, they have but one soul when attacked
by foreign adversary, and that soul animated
bya patriotic determination to defend their
country. In comparison of this great and par
amount object, all others, connected with par
ty politics, sink into insigni6cance.

The erroneous VIcTORY. The war with
Mexico, contrary to our antcipations, is as
Stunning serious aspect. The attack upon
General Taylor's encampment shows that the
Mexicans are in earnest; but the result must
convince them of the great error which they
have committed. We could not believe it
possible, that, with an unstable Government,
and with a feeble military force in comparison
with that which we can bring into the field,
they would have had the hardlhood and folly
to venture the attack which has been made
But most dearly have they paid for their RASH
ness; and before the account shall be finally
settled, they will have ample cause to regret
that they preferred resort to arms to nego-
tiation. From the first intmation of an as
sault upon General Taylor, we have expressed
the most perfect confidence in his ability to re-
pei and chastise the enemy-and this has been
effectually done, by about one fourth of the
army under command of the gallant Major
Ringgold. The next arrival from the seat of
War will probably furnish us with the result
of an engagement between Gen. Taylor and
the Mexican army; and we venture to predict,
that, if such engagement has taken place, our
commander and his troops have acquitted
themselves with honor. But, should they have
been overwhelmed by numbers, the victory
will prove of little advantage to Mexico; for it
will rouse spirit in the people of the United
States, that will send hundred thousand men
against the enemy if required.
We congratulate the country upon the glo-
rious issue of the first engagement with the
enc my. 1t will be hailed with joy through
out the nation; and will probably do much to-
wards bringing the enemy to their reason
The army sent against Gen. Taylor, is said to
be composed of the bravest and best discipline
ed men in the Mexican service; and yet in the
first encounter we have killed seven hundred
of them and lost but one man. This is unex-
ampled. When General Taylor shall have
been reinforced by the troops now on their
way to join him, this boosted army of Mexi-
cans will be glad to recross the Rio Grande
and take to their heels; if they have not done
so already.
