GENERAL ScoTr AT CmURcH.-A letter
written at Vera Cruz chronicles the follow
ing interesting incidents:
Easter Sunddy-On Sunday morning last
VIC entered the church on the Plaza, and
were gratifed TO see so full an attendance of
our officers and men. In rather an obscure
place, on the left hand side of the aisle, sat
Gen. Scott and number Of friends. The
General appeared devout and pious, and not
like the many OF US who 60 to such places 10
pass an idle hour. The entrance Of the Gen
eral, we are told, created no little astonish-
ment among the natives. and be was readily
known and whispered about as the Comman-
der-in- Chief ofthe Americans.
The doctrine has too long been proclaimed
that we are the enemies of that religion held
so sacred by the Mexicans; butwe hope soon
to convince them that we war against no man
for his religious principles. and nothing is
better calculated 10 demonstrate this fact than
the presence, at places Of worship, ofthe high
in command among US, whose liheraIity of
religious tolerance induces them 10 worship
at any shrine, the great Creator of the Uni
verse.
The scene in the church on Easter Sunday,
was indeed one Of interest and soemnity.-
Many who the weak before were sending
death shots at each other, now, standing and
kneeling together, communed with the same
God. We noticed that much Difference was
paid TO onr General. and that he was the first
one TO whom long lighted candle was hand
ed. He received it solemnly; and held it for
time lighted IN his hand. This was also
pleasing to the citizens and from all appear
ances they seemed to think that at least we
were not all the devils they had pictured TO
them.'

This bridge at Rouse's Point will subserve
other important interests besides those of the
Northern Railroad. Ii will connect all New
England with Montreal. as well as with Og-

of Montreal have given notice ia the public
papers of the Province, that application VIII

approaching session. for charter TO con-

south; ard we can entertain no doubt that
The application will be granted. The pro-
posed location of the bridge is but twenty
miles from the present terminus Of the Mon
treal and st. Johns Railroad. The inter
vening country is perfectly level, and there
can hardly be doubt that that road will be
extended to meet the New YORK and YER
mont Railroads, as soon as they shall be
completed,

of the river opposite Montreal, to Rouse's

Monterey. extending from the 5th of Dec
ember TO the 29lh Of January.
The paper of the 28ih contains a general
order from Commodore Stockton, dated City
of the Angels, January IL, congrdlulating the
officers and men OF the Southern division Of
the q. 6. forces in California on the brilliant
victories gained by them 90 The 9th and 9th'
and OH ence more taking possession OF thai
city.
The Commodore, it appears. left San Di-
ago on the 29lh of December, at the head Of
600 including General Kearney's dragons
and reached The San Grabrel river on the
9Th Of January; the enemy, 500 mounted
men with 4 pieces of cannon, were strongly
posted on the North side of the river. The
commodore and his men crossed the river
steadily, under heavy fire, and by gallant
charge the position of the enemy was carried
driving its defenders in confusion.
On the 9th another encounter took place
on the plains Of the Mesa, near the city, and
lasted nearly three hours, General Flores
and his men fighting bravely. They were
put to flight, and on the 10th the Americans
entered the city. Mexican loss unknown;
American, not morethan 20 killed and woun-
ded in both actions.
General Kearney had previously had an
affair at San Pascual, in which he lost IL
men, a gun and some mules. After the re-
capture Of Los Angeles Col. Fremont made
a treaty with Don Andres which "put an
end to the war" Flores and other officers
had gone to Sonora, but were expected 10
return when they heard Of the treaty.

all upon battle, in which every thing wse

God, in great emergencies, had inspired him

victorious and almost incredible march Of
Col. Doniphan's command from Fort Leav-

conquering savage tribes, until they unfurled

expressing hope that if Col. Doniphan

Correspondence OF the Republican.
CURIOUS MILITARY AND RELIGIOUS
FACTS

CHIHUAHUA, March 7, 1847.
Our little army, think, is becoming infected
with mixture Of religion and superstition
caused by few singular circumstances, which
will briefly relate.
In coming through a mountain gorge, called
the Jornada, there was not one drop Of water
to be found within seventy miles! Our YEA
ried animals--particularly the oxen-became
exhausted, and sunk down, as we supposed, TO
rise no more. Our situation was appalling.
and relief seemed TO be beyond the range Of
possibility. At this moment, clap OF thunder
was heard, and streaks Of lightning seen to
play along the mountain-black clouds rolled
rapidly up, and The rain came down in torrents
the parched desert was soon drenched--the
animals and men refreshed, and the army NOV
ed, wondering and rejoicing. No rain had fall
en- in this part Of Mexico for upwards Of four
months, and no one expected drop until the
beginning Of the rainy season, which commen>
ces about the 18th Of June.
On the morning Of the battle, Col. MITCHELL
and half dozen officers were riding some dis.
lance in advance Of the army, when a large
black wolf was seen galloping across towards
the mountain on our left, Col. N. exclaimed, in
half laughing, half serious manner, "Gentle.
men! we are certain to meet the enemy this
~
omnibus of bad luck, and he will feast on our
dead bodies before morning." The men imme>
dialely refined up, and every one watched the
movements Of the animal with GREATNESS anx.
ie,y. He was on the point Of crossing in front
Of US, when COL Mitchell dashed to the LEFT, ex.
claiming, "By -, I'll turn tho tide of for
tunew The wolf was headed and driven out
before us, which caused a hearty shout Of tr-
umph.
During the battle, when a portion OF our
troops we're falling back, from some mistaken
order,) the enemy raised shout, and poured
in general discharge Of artillery. At the
same moment, the Mexican cavalry began to
advance, and confusion was beginning to show
itself in our ranks. At this critical moment,
Col. NJ. dashed up at full speed in front Of the
right wing, (Which he commanded,) and cried
out to one OF his friends, "TheIe's the black
wolf about 10 cross our path, but by -, III
stop him!
Column! Jorward-gallop"
The history Of the battle, il correctly writ.
ten, will show that no did stop him! Again
when we consider tho enemy's forces and posi-
tons, the Mexican loss compar red with our OWE
i really looks as il the hand Of Providence gu
ded the whole affair II.
