Yours, truly,

MAY A, 1856 o'clock in The Morning.
"Here'we go again!" as the boy said when
the bull chased him. AS | expected, at day
light they led off again, and we are going it
nip and tuck, like a frog at burnt boot. Up
to the present speaking the enemy have thrown
between 1900 or 1900 shot, solid and hollow,
while we have fired 957. On our side, one SER
geant-of Co. A, It'll Reg't.-has been killed
and one slightly wounded in the arm. This
all the damage to us; the extent of damage to
to the enemo is not known, but must be con-
siderable. 1t is almost incredible to suppose
we should receive SO little injury from so ma
ny shots.
If live, may tell you some more; if die,
you can't expect it. Yours, -
Volunteers. The Picayune says, that volun-
teers are pouring in from all quarters, and the
idea of resorsng to draf, is abandoned Yes
terday no less than 437 volunteers came in from
four different towns in the State, and the full
complement of four regiments required from
this State under the requsition of Gen. Taylor
will soon be filled up, and we doubt not dou-
BILE the number. The various recruiting Off
GERS in this city are also obtaining hourly Access
sions to their numbers
Departure Of Troops. Four companies Of
Col. Marks regiment Of volunteers left New
Orleans in the steamer New York, for Brazos
Santiago, on the 10th inst. Five companies
more belonging to the same regiment left in
the Alabama on the 18th. The Alabama has
been chartered by Government at SIC, 500 pei
month, to convey troops.

RESOURCESAND SKILL OF THE MEXICANS-
THEIR MILITARY SCIENCE, sc.
An interesting letter is published in the AL.
bany Atlas, dated from the American camp
before Matamoras. 1t was written on the 2lst
of April, just before.t the late engagements be.
tween the Americans and the Mexcans. We
transfer to our columns such parts of it as are
important:
Teas Beyond The Niteces. West ofthe Nue.
ces the people are all Spaniards. The coun-
try is uninhabitable, excepting the Rio Grande
and that contains pretty dense population,
and in no part Of the country are the people
more loyal to the Mexican government.
The soil on the river is of great fertility, and
though imperfectly cultivated, produces con-
siderable corn, cotton and sugar. On the
river are several fine towns, some on one side,
some on the other. Matamoras 5000 inhabi-
tants, Remoso 1900, Comongo 5000, Mier
5000, Guerrero $500, Loredo 1900, Presi-
dos 5000, San Fernando $4,000; and when
you get higher up towards Santa Fe, there is
another populated country. These people are
all Spaniards, and actuated by an universal
feeling of hostility towards the United States,
and since our arrival, nearly all of them have
! left this side ofthe river, and gone over, leav-
ing their houses, and much valuable property,
Notwithstanding every assurance from Cen
Taylor that all their rights and property would
be respected by our government. They quar-
rel among themselves, but against a foreign
foe they are united
Temper and Resources Of the .MericanS. Oul
differences must and will end in war. The
Mexican policy is to defer it as long as possible
in hopes the Oregon controversy will involve
US with England; but you may depend that
every party and every faction in Mexico, is de-
termined to fight it out with US. That has
been my opinion for three months, and what
now see daily confirms this belief. When the
time comes, too, it will be found that they will
prosecute the war, men a defensive war, will
much more energy and skill than is generally
| calculated upon. Among themselves, they are
weakened by internal dssentions, but OIL thi:
question they will act with unanimity.
They have population of nine millions, i'll
ured TO the climate, and as soldiers, we have
moderated them. The whole nation may be
said to have been in arms for twenty-four years
and the pursuits of peace have been SO much
disturbed that all the ability of the country has
been turned into military channel. They
have a respectable military school in Mexico,
and the defences they have erected at Mata
moras, since our arrival, and on which they
have been engaged much of the time night ant
day, show not only judgment in their engineer
but very considerable advancement in the high
er branches of mathematical and military
science. So also with their troops We SEE
daily at their parade some of the most intricate
evolutions performed with accuracy and skill
Doubtless the newspapers will be filled with al
sorts of stories and opinions: but these are thu
l facts.

BY LAST NIGHTS SOUTHERN MAIL.


The New Orleans papers contain no later
news from the seat of war. The Picayune
has received number of letters by the arrival
oft the steamer Florida; the contents of most of
them, however, have been anticipated. One
from Lit Henry mentions the capture of Cap
tain Thornton, and states that he came near
making his escape after all. His horse Jump
ed down bank with him, and lie lay some
time nsensble. The bruises he then received
were his only wounds. He was repeatedly
shot at, but escaped all harm, and actually
reached within five miles of the camp-the sur
prise occurred about &c miles from camp
when he was taken prisoner by a Mexican
pcket-guard. Gen. Ampudia is endeavoring
to redeem his character for humanity by the
treatment of his prisoners.
The Picayune contains the following letter,
the latest received, dated Fort Taylor, May a,
at l-2 o'clock in the morning
Dear fricnds--The ball opened yesterday
morning from the Mexican line. They fred
the first shot at reveille, and the way A, 6, 8
and ~ q think) pound shot flew about these
parts was sin, and their mortars throwing
shells kept the atmosphere in continual confu-
sion with their "whiz! whz! bang" all the time.
But notwithstanding the "Star-Spangled Ban
ner" still waves over the Gland of the free and
home of the brave" Their firing did not
cease until IL lastnight. Isuppose tomorrow
will be duplicate of to-day.
1t would have warmed the wax in your ear
to have heard our l9-pounders "glve out the
cry" One shot struck in the embrasure of the
enemy's works, and knocked cannon, carriage,
embrasure and men "into fits" We have no
mortars. Had we received those General Tay-
lor requested from Washington when he first
came to Corpus Christi, we would have left no
more bricks IN that town than there are Sin
my hat" But, sirs, this is only the introduce
tory act; just you clay low" and you'll see,
perhaps, the al-fred-est fight (f they'll agree)
that Perhaps you ever did see.
Yours, truly, -
