NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. HOME.

The last accounts bring intelligence that the
Louisville Legion vas on rs way home. The o.
hlo Regiments may b. expected 10 few weeks.
All the Volunteers Of 1876 will be sent home in
time 10 be mustered out Of service in twelve
months from the day Of their enlistment. The
United States must take care that they ore re-
turned 10 the place where they were originally
mustered into service.
Of Volunteers who entered Mexico 10 1916,
foil Ons-third will neverreiurn. Theyare among
the killed. the dead by disense the adveniurers to
carry the Anglo-Saxon civilization into the valley
Of the Rio Grsnde, or those who slipped away
by some casually. or those who return, not
one in ten will probably re-en'er The Army
Whatever Others may think Of their glory or
their rewards, they will be glad to return 10 places
where glory is not so earHed. They have seen
enough Of that sou Of thing.
In May and June, lo4e, the Volunteers mus.
tered into service were twenty.three regiments OF
10000 men. What will be the effect Of taking
these from seryicel By the requisiiion three
months since, the Government mustered into ser.
vice 5000. By the present requsi,ion, provided
II Is successful, 5000. or the ten regiments 10
be enlisted, they will have about 5000 before
/ October The total which can be mustered oI
the new leyies, before the Isl Of October next
will not exceed 1900. The armies Of Scou
and Taylor, then, will absolutely have u less
number Of effective men in July next than they
had in December last. In the meanwhile, how.
ever, the Government has occupied much
greater extent Of Mexico, and several important
places. The Army requires, therefore, many
more men lhun il has. HoD is Mexico TO be
occupied, when conquered, with the Army we
now hayel Ii appears that the ideas and plans
Of the Government, in a military aspect, contn.
ually keep behind the realizes OF It's siJua,ion.-

VERA CRUZ.

The damage and destruction caused by our
shells, especially by those shot from the naval
battery, were awful indeed. The houses in We.
ra Cruz are mostly built Of coral rock and yet
the Paxhan shot would pass through as many
of them as lay in their range. Those which
struck the roofs, would pass through two or thee
stories, and then burst, destroying everything
around, and in some instances actually throwing
down the sides of the houses.
The castle was not at all injured; one man in
it was killed by shell. This immense fortif-
cation, covering eleven acres ofground, was we'll
supplied with ammunition. There were more
than thousand 13 inch shells, larger than any
used by our army, and TWO hundred of the finest
guns in the world. Many Of these were made
al Harpers Ferry, in this country, and some of
them we're quaint, old Spanish brass pieces, da
ted 1921.
The strength Of this famous castle has not
been exaggerated ltwas just remark of an
officer of the British fleet, in reply 10 an inquiry
Of Com. Perry, whether he thought il could be
taken by a naval squadron, that "wilh thousand
British or American soldiers 10 man the castle,
it could blow TO atoms all the navies of the world,
before they could make an impression upon its
walls"
The city would have been untenable without
the castle. 1t could not have been occupied an
hour under fire from the castle: In taking pos
session of this lortifcation, many valuable Mex.
ican documents tending to throw some light up
on the intentions ofthe government, and others
furnishing valuable historical information re-
specting the castle and also relating 10 the poll
teal history of the RepubGc came into the nos.
session of our officers. We look forward to their
publication with no little curiosity and interest.
All the valuable provisions in the castle were
iched by the storekeepers and suffers, who lived
within its walls.

A correspondent of the New Orleans Delta,
who was present at the capture Of Vera Cruz,
says that the expectation Of the garrison Of Vera
Cruz was, thar the city would be carried by
storm, and they had made great preparation for
vigorous resistance, which would, no doubt, have
caused great boodshed and destruction. The
streets were barricaded as they were at Monte
rey, and loopholes were arranged for the gum
ners, rows fpickets made, and sand bags thrown
across the barrcades. On the flat tops of the
houses cannon and howitzers were so arranged
as to rake the streets. Every house was for
ufcation. There was, too, an abundance Of
ammunition; and no doubt, had the city been
stormed, thousands of persons would have been
killed, and our army especially would have suf-
fered disasters far more heartrending than any
which have yet occurred in this war. 1t was
therefore proof of the humanity, as well as the
wisdom Of Gen. Scott, that he preferred the slow
er but less sanguinary mode Of investment and
bombardment.

The Union Of last evening contains General
SCOTS official account of the Battle. The num-
Der Of Prisoners taken, as reported by him, is
three thousand men, instead Of six. Seven
thousand, however, escaped. Our loss in killed
and wounded is not more than two hundred
Mexican loss in killed, $50 ri (our telegraph re-
port Says but we suppose many more.
All the prisoners taken were paroled by Gen.
Scott.
No further resistance is expected this side Of
Perote.
Gen. Scott will push on his columns for Mex
ico with all convenient despatch. Senor ArmJo
has been elected President of Mexico over AImon-
le, and the office Of Vice President has been abol
ishcd in order TO upset the expectations aud au-
thority of Conner Farias. The new President
urges war 10 the knife, against the United States,
and active preparations were making for the for
tifcalion Of the City, and this was the spirit of
the people. Some were urging guerrilla war
fare.
There were rumors that Santa Anna had been
taken prisoner when the last express left, but
they were not believed.
There has been later arrival at Brazos but
no later news from Gen. 1aylor's camp.

Correspondence Of the Pittsburgh Gazette.

Battle between Gen. Scott 4 Santa Anna.
PHILADELPHIA, May 7-6 P. VI.


The mail is los, in from the South, and our
information is that great battle was fought be-
tween General Scott and General Santa Anna,
near Cero Gorde.
The information is that the Americans were
triumphant, and that the Mexicans were routed
with great loss. Five Of the Mexican Generals
were taken prisoners.
Cero Gordo is a strong position, just beyond
the National Bridge, and in the neighborhood Of
the skirmish reported by the news Of the l4th.
Generals Twiggs, Worth, Patterson and the
Pennsylvania Regiment were with General
Scou.
General Cos was in command Of Cero Gordo
at our last adyices, with two thousand Mexican
troops and sixty pieces of heavy cannon, and
these are among the enemy who have been con-
quered. Gen. La Vega was also in the neigh.
borhood in command of cavalry and lancers.-
General Twiggs was in command Of one division
Of our troops, and General Worh's division was
the second which set out from Vera Cruz TO join
him, and this was followed by the Brigades OF
Pillow and Shields, under the command Of Gen.
Patterson. A fight with these men; notwilhstan-
ding the strong position of the enemy, and Gen.
era Santa Anna in command, was victory Of
course.
Santa Annals force at Jalapa was reported to
be very large, and by one account as high as ten
or twelve thousand. Cero Gordo is few miles
from Jaapa, where Santa Anna had taken up his
position. Jalapa is upon high eminence, and
from the centre Of the city Vera Cruz is visible.
The city is surrounded by wall, and has every
natural position for a strong defence. General
Scott takes up his quarters here, and will make
peace here or march 10 Vera Cruz. Canolizc
was also at Cero Gordo, and had uided in forti'
flying three Of the city heights but all 10 no pur'
pose. as it seems. The only chance for the
Mexicans now is to take post at Los Dos, some
ways between the place of the battle, which is "A
miles from Vera Cruz.
| The first defence met on the road to Jalapa il
Puento Nacional, splendid bridge of stone
thrown over ravne, with great advantages fol
resoute troops; and q small band Of the righ
kind Of soldiers might keep an army at bay. A
little beyond this bridge ia El Encero, 1904 fee
above the sea, and this is the limit Of yellow
fever. Jalapa, beyond Ell Encero, is 4,407 fee
above the sea. The road from Vera Cruz tc
Jaapa runs through the lands Of Santa Anna
and the houses on his lands, scattered over dis
tances of Is and 90 miles, are said to look mort
like chicken coops than the abOdes Of men ant
women. Ed. Gaz.
