~ RAIL ROAD MEETING.

ROAD MEETING.
Quite large number of the citizens
of this District, assembled in the Court
House on yesterday, to take into consid-
GRAFTON the project of connecting Green
vile with Charleston, by Rail road
passing through Anderson and Able
vile and to unite with the contemplated
road from Edgefield to Aiken at Edge
field G. H. The meeting was organ
lied by calling the Hon. THos c. PER
Rim to the Chair, and G. H. ALLEN to
act as Secretary.
The Chairman on taking his seat ex-
planned the object of the meeting and
pointed out in few able remarks, the
practicability of the enterprise and the
great results to grow out Oft.
On motion of J F. MARSHALL, q COM
mlttee of nine were appointed by the
Chair, 10 draft resolutions expressive of
the sense of the meeting, whereupon the
following gentlemen were appointed:
J +. Marshall, DR.. Fl H Townes,
DR.: S V. Cain, Il B. Byrd,
E. Tribe, J. McLellane ESQ.
DR.. w T. Jones, w T. Drennon,
Col. J G. Sprowl,
Whilst the committee were prepair-
ing the resolutions,J J p. REED Esqr. of
Anderson, was called upon to make
some remarks upon the occasion: which
he did in an eloquent and forcible style.
The Committee after short absence
returned and submitted the following
resolutions, which being read and put to
the meeting separately, were unani-
mously adopted.
l. Resolred, That we regard the pro-
ject of connecting Charleston with the
mountain regions of this State by Rail
Road, as entirely practicable, and of the
utmost Importance to our whole people,
pecuniarily, socially and politically.
2. Resolved, That we look forward
with delight and fixed confidence to the
ultimate accomplishment of this great
work, and that we will contribute to the
success of the enterprise by every means
in our power, consistent with due re-
gard to our individual interests.
3. Resolued, That we recommend to
our fellow citizens of this district, to sub
scribe to the capital stock of said Road,
with characteristic liberality, believing
that the investment will at least be safe,
if not profitable, and productive of ad-
vantages to us as people that are not
to be estimated by dollars and cents.
4. ResoLced, That ii is the judgement
OF this meeting, that direct rout from
Greenville, passing through the districts
OF Anderson and AbbeviIle. connecting
with the Aiken Road, at Edgefeld, is
the most practicable as presenting fewer
oosslcles to the completion of such
Road.

HE VICTORY AT MoNrERY.-Fup.
THEIR PARTICULARS OF IT'S CAPTURE
The steamer Mercer, arrived last
evening from Camargo, brought
down as passenger Major Coffee,
who gives us further intelligence
OF the taking Of Montery.
Maj. Q. reports the loss on the
part OF the Mexicans to have been
much greater than was first stated.
1t has been ascertain that fifteen
hundred would not cover their loss
in killed and wounded On the
part Of the Americans, six hundred
was the full extent Of the loss.
Gen. Taylor, previous to the at
tack, is siad to have had no idea
of the extent and strength of the
Mexican Notifications But the
vaior o! his troops faltered at no
opposition. Besides the soldlery,
he had to fight the whole mass Of
the Mexican population, who fired
from the tops Of their houses and
did great execution. To particu-
larize the performance of any one
regiment or command, where all
did so we'll, would be an injustice.
All have gained imperishable hon
ors. The valor displayed by our
whole army is unparalleled in it's
history. Individual acts of heroism
were performed which will render
the actors immortal.
Gen. Worth has covered himself
with glory. His tactics, as dis
played in the capture of three of
the most important forts, will vie
in brilliancy Of execution with
those of a Wellington or a Ney.
Maj. Rldgeley has won new ho-
nors. For cool, determined brave
ry and skilltul manGuvering, he
receives the highest praise.
Capt. c. F. Smith is also highly
spoken of.
The Texan and volunteer troops
have gained imperishable renown.
i hS OAehh y" I'LL StACS anu
spades, picked holes from one house
to another, and drove the Mexican
infantry from the streets. AS they
gained the houses, the dread rifle
was made to do it's work. The
Mexicans were driven from the
streets and house-tops. A Mexi-
can cannon was borne on the
shoulders of our men to the roof Of
IL house and made to play upon
the enemy.
When the flag of truce was re-
ceived and the capitulation agreed
to. the whole army was disappoint-
ed. IL was only then that they
were beginning to telP' upon the
Mexicans. Previous to this, they
had been fighting them protected
by their breastworks, and at every
disadvantage. Now they had got
amongst them, and was giving
them a dose which was operating
effectually.

Santa Anna.-Therc is no doubt
now as 10 the position of this willy and
faithless Mexican, for by the late intelli-
gencc from Mexico, we learn, that he
has been appointed commander-in-chief
Of the army. His only desire he pro
tests, is to occupy the post to which he
has been appointed, that he may lead in
person, the troops, against the 'perGdi-
Gus" foe, who is now ravaging the very
heart of the country. He says, that in
his exile he heard the voice of his coun.
try, calling on him to defend her, and
he hasten home to be employed in that
mission. Our government has clearly
dupcd by this wretch. and should the
fortunes Of war ever place him in our
hands, he should be hung as high as

PoSeu f'a'l 1toad, IN our Judgment the
most practicable mode of doing so, will
be by running out branch form the
main trunk at some suitable point.
6. Resolred, That fifty delegates be
appointed to attend the Convention to be
held at Anderson c. FL, on the Sd Mon
day Of November next.
Z. Res0Lred, That committee of five
be appointed to correspond with the citi-
zens of this and other States with regard
to the establishment of said Road.
8. ResoLred. That a committee of
three be appointed in each Beat compa-
ny in this district, to inquire and as
certain how much stock will be subscri-
bed in their respective Beats and report
to the district committee on or before the
meeting Of the Anderson Convention.

this meeting be published in the Banner,

bic to the project, be requested to copy

THE Wimnsdagoes.-We understand,
(says the Union OF Monday that trea-
ty was concluded at late hour this day,
with the Winnebago delegation, by
which they cede their lands in Iowa to
the government of the United States
The precise terms of the arrangement
have not reached US; and indeed, trea-
ties are generally secret documents un-
til they have been ratified. The Win
nebagocs will have a formal audience
with their Great Father, the President
of the United States, before they leave
the city.

Further particulars of The Capture of
Monterey-By the late accounts from
the Seat of War, we learn that the Mexi-
can loss was greater at Monterey than
was at first reported. 1t is said now,
that fifteen hundred would not cover
their loss in killed and wounded, whilst
that Of the Americans is set down at six
} hundred. Our brave soldiers in this en-
gagement have added new stars of re-
joicing in their country's crown, and
won for themselves fadeless iaurels.
They have shown to the world speci-
mems of courage, and coolness in danger,
unsurpassed upon any similar occasion
in any country, and which will serve to
teach England and the advocates of
large Standing armies, how readily the
citizen can be converted into the soldier.
The Washington Union, states that
orders have been issued to General TAy-
LoR, 10 terminate the Armistice immedi
atcly, and resume operations, and dis
patches to this effect have been carried
out by Major GRAHAM, of the army.
1t will be remembered that according to
the 9th article, the armistice could be
terminated at any time by orders from
the respective governments. There GER
tainly should be no hesitation now upon
our part; this war has already cost
much, and if it is not soon brought to a
close, a hundred millions of dollars will
scarcely defray the expenses. We have
gone too far already in offering to nego-
tiatc with this faithlcss and insolent ma
ton, and now, should their towns and
cities become smouldering ruins, and
the blood of her degenerate sons be
poured out upon her fields, let it cry to
her stiff necked leaders from the ground,
and charge them with the calamity.
From Me1ico-The New Orleans
Picayune says that letters were received
in that city per the James l.. Day, from,
very responsible foreign source in
Matamoras, which states that Gen. AL
monte has been appointed President o.
Mexico ad interim, and Santa Anna
Generalissimo of the Army, and that the
latter was then actively engaged in rails
ing and organizing troops, intending ,e
take the field in person in the North.
This news is confirmed, in part, by 6
proclamation Of Genl. Ampudia, dated
