Many Americans were amongs, them, and many
leading citizens of New York-and they have a.
mongsl them much OF that lIish laent-Irish gen
ious and ability, that has elevated the Irish char
acler in America-whiCh The sturdy arms, the
brawny shoulders the good dresses of the mechan-
icS in the other societies, showed that they had
enjoyed the fruits Of their labor under the happy
folds of the nations banner. The procession
marched through Broadway 10 the Battery
and CasIle-garden.
Never WINS so grand, SO imposing sight PIE
sented The platform in the rear was crowd
ed with The Catholic clergy, and many
cergymen of other persuasion', amongs,
whom wero the Rev. Mr.. Matiit and several other
dissenting clergymen. TheYpla'lorm in front from
whence the Grafton was delivered by Governor
Steward, was exclusively occupied by The Grand
Marshall, Thomas O'Connor; Bishop Hughes;
Hon John McKean Barlhol O'Connor, and sew
eral other distinguished, genuine and popular
Irishmen. Every avenue, nook and corner, pre-
scented perfect jam; and the banners Of the DIFF
feren, societies were ranged tasternly around the
immense edlice while sweet band performed
appropriate airs. and played The dead march in
Saul. After the delivery of the Grafton, which
was mastery and touching picture of the wrongs
of Ireland, all separated in the most orderly man
ner. Such scene can never be forgotten in New
York. Peace to the ashes Of O'Conne

The last Battle.

Once more has onr gallant army vlndI-
Gated itself in a manner which declares
that where fright and might" are, is VIC
tory. 1t gives US peculiar thrill of pleas.
ure TO be able to notice among the heroic
actions Of lha, well fought field that the for
mcr patriotism Of Vermont has not been
without, good representatives. Among the
good and the brave, were the gallant
Green Mountain Boys" who, ever mind
full of the honor of their native state, have
nobly acquitted themselves Vermont has
every reason TO feel proud Of the accom-
plished and brave commander of the New
England regiment; a man, whether fight
ing on the parched plains Of Mexico, o.
living retired citizen among the green
hills of his native state, to he loved aud
respected for his many amiabe qualities
AS for the other officers from this state,
we have every confidence in their ability
and disposition 10 do everything which
shall be to the credit and honor of Their
native soil. Although we have blu, small
band IN the service Of the country, we
trust they will make up in gnanimill
and patriotism, what they lack in mum
bers
Among the killed and wounded, who
fell in that sangunary conflict, was to be
found citizens of almost every state in The
Union-yes, the blood of the north and the
south, the east and the west was split and
mingled together on that field. And we
now repeat what has often been asserted
that had every American al home, sus'
,ained his country as well as the heroic
men abroad, this unhappy war would have
long ere this been brought to an honorable
close. But the memory Of the gallant men
who have shed their blood in the cause o.
their country, will be engraven in letters
Of grateful remembrance upon the heart
Of every American citizen.

Col, Fremont.

We regret TO learn that Col. Fremont, whose
departure for Aiken we noticed few days since,
did not reach that place TO see his mother alive -
She died but Il few hours before his arrival. He
accompanied her remains the next day TO this Ci:y,
and after witnessing the last sad rites, left here
the evening following "wednesday on his return
TO Washington. In his affection, rendered dou5ly
poignant by his deep disappointment i" not re-
ceiving her parting look of recognition after his
long and eventIul absence, he has the sympathy
Of our entire community.
The marked and brilliant career Of Col. Ere.
mont has arrested general attention and admira-
ton, and has been watched with lively interest
by his fellow-citizens Of South Carolina. Charles
ton, particularly, is proud Of him, and the repuia.
ton which he has Mt SO early nd age achieved for
himself, she claims as something in which she too
has share. But for the melancholy circum-
stances attending his visit. our city would have
manifested bv suitable demonstrations their res
pecl for him, ane their continued confidence in his
honor and integrity. # will require something
more than mere accusation to suly them in the
minds Of the people Of Charleston.
Some months since Sword was voted 10 him
by our citizens, the individual subscriptions 10
which were limited 20 one dollar. II now awaits
his acceptance al suitable opportunity. We
are happy 10 learn that the ladies' Of Charleston
propose, by similar subscription, 10 furnish an
appropriate Belt 10 accompany tho Sword, as an
evidence that they too can appreciate the gallanlry
and heroism which have so signay marked his
career, and have thrown an a Of romance over

0'COnneII'S 0bSequies,

This solemn and impressive ceremony took
place on Wednesday, aud its effect was at once
imposing and deeply affecting. We never wit
messed any public occasion IN this city, on which
the public spirit Of our Irish adopted citizens
to have been more thoroughly aroused, MOI one
upon which their sympathy and that of our native
citizens seemed 10 have been more sincerely ex-
tended. The procession in which appeared some
twenty thousand persons, told The tale Of Ireand's
woes with mute Goqnence which no painter
could represcnt-no pen portray. O'ConnelI-
the Liberator of Ireland --the exposure Of human
liberty all over the world his memory, could not
but receive proper tribute Of respect from the
sons of republican freedom in America. They
did it, and they did it well. The daily journals
have teemed with full and graphic notices aud Te>
ports Of these proceedings; and one incident that
has been omitted in the reports, is the fact that on
the approach of the funeral car to the vicinity OF
Trinity Church, several Irish women set up that
funeral cry 80 familiar to the ears of those who be-
long 10 O'Connells native country. This of itself
touched a chord in the heart Of the Irish vino heard

The following particulars
The "Arco Iris" had received letters
from Mexico, under date Of September 9th
stating that on the 9TH ull. the Mexican
Commissioner had declared tina, the
propositions made by Mr. Iris, were mad.

In consequence of this fact. General
Santa Anna Immediately convokcd coun'
Gil Of Generals, who decided that notice
should be given 10 General Scott that the
Armistice was at an end, and appointed
the 9Th ult. for the recommencement o
hostiltles.
On The 9Th of September Gen. Scott ad
dressed a letter to Santa Anna from Tacu
baya, accusing him of having violated sev
eral articles of the atmstIce.
One of these violations was in not per
hitting the American Army to obtain sup
ppIies from the city OF Mexico.
General Scott demanded explanation
ard full repara'ion, and concluded as fol
Iows:---
"If these are no, given. | hereby Motif,
You, that il do not receive the most com

+ siderable length. and with great severity
lie accused Gen. Scott with having Vi
oated the terms of the armstlce in re(us
ing to allow -four from the mills in the vi
cinity to be brought into the city.
He says that the American wagons wer
driven ont of the city on account Of the oil
iectionable conduct Of the officers accom-
panying them.
