GEN. SHIELDs.-We learn from the New Or
leans Delta that hopes are entertained of the
recovery of Gen. Shields from the dreadful
wound received in the battle of Cerro Gordo.
He was shot in the early part of the battle,
on the 18th, while leading the 4th Illinois regi-
ment in charge upon battery of six guns, sup
ported by a large body of lancers and infantry
the whole being the extre ne right work of
the enemy and the headquarters of Santa Anna
and the depot ofall their public stores. officers
baggage, etc, etc. The ball. which was eth
er grape or canister, entered the right breast,
about an inch and half or two inches below
the nipple, passed through the right lobe of the
lung and out ofthe back without however, do
ing injury to the spine.

Mr.. MAFFIT DEPosED.-W saw it stated
about two months ago that charges of a very
grave character had been preferred against Rev.
J. n. Maffit, since which he has had his hearing
before the New York city conference of the
Methodist church, and the result is, that he has
been .deposed from the Ministry, and cut of
from church fellowship. The decision and SEN
tence of the conference, properly certified by
Bishop James, have been read in all the New
York city Methodist churches-none but the
members being present.

tons the arrival at Orizaba of Santa Anna, but
says nothing of the number of troops he had
with him.
One of the best jokes in the Mexican papers
is contained in the last paragraph of Anaya's
address to his countrymen. He says that he
''has the satisfaction to announce that his Ex-
cellency, Senor Don Antonio Lopez de Santa
Anna, President of the Republic and General
of the Army, according to notice just received,
although not official, has survived the catastro-
phe Idefeat of Cerro Gordo, from which it ap-
pears that Providence is not willing to fill the
cup of bitterness entirely to the briml" This
is entirely too good to be lost.
