EVENTS OF THE WAR.

We continue 10 dcvo:e much Of onf space TO
the Interesting incidents oi The late !aiiles, with
which The New Orleans papers ale richly si!ew-
! ed. Ali The sketches are So full ot interest that
We are much embarrassed TO make a SELECTION
We shall, however, give The most of them in
broken doses; being well satisfied that our read
ers will prefer such matter 10 long discussions OF
| political questions, which can be postponed.
A perusal Of The American and Mexican do
! cumenls published, will show the broad and mark.
ed difference between the TWO nations. On the
one hand. we see the officers and soldiers OF The
American army rallying with enthusiasm around
their Veteran General, faithfully obeying his eve-
ry order, looking up 10 him with pride and conf
dence, and acting as one man in defence OF their
couu,ry's rights and honor. On the other side,
The pronuueiamrntos OF The Mexican generals and
officers are full OF bitterness and dissension-
charging each other with cowartice and treason,
and exhibiting an utter want CT moral and mill
,aIy organization. Gen. Scout and his officers
show a generous humanity, a respect for The re-
lision. The property ard The rights Of his insolent
foes. and an enlightened policy in enacling all
measures necessary Tor public order and The safe
" of the Mexicans themselves. A contrary
spectacle is presenei on The par, oflhe Mexicans.
Their career is marsed with ccwardly murders,
instructions, rapine, and all the crime on The
black list. Can any one feel surprise, after view
inc The recent events and The characteristic difle.
renee between the Two nations, that ouI noble Ill
lie army should have struggled through havoc
and death, and have held captive in lis grasp the
once proud city OF the Az,ecs2 Never was the
superiority of races, nor The moral influence OF
enlightened and liberal institutions, more proudly
exhibited than in The late brilliant assault and
capture of The Mexican capital. Surrounded as
our army was by immensely superior numbers
We never for a moment feared for the safety and
success Of Scott and his troops. There was a
moral prestige around them, which made victory
their own-and the wise and ample measures
adopcd since The capture Of The city, The pIu.
dence and vigilance enforced upon our soldiery,
will place their continued supremacy beyond
controversy.

LITTLE CHILDREN.

by MARIA RoSEAU.
Speak gently TO the little child,
So guilclcss and so free,
Who with a trustful. loving heart,
Puts confidence in thee.
Speak not the cold and careless thoughts
Which time hath taught thee well,
Nor breathe one word whose bitter tone
Disfrust might seem to tell.
III on his brow there rests a cloud,
However light il be,
Speak loving words, and let him feel
He has Il friend in thee;
Aud do not send him from thy side
Till on his face shall rest
The Joyous look, the sunny smile
That mark happy breast.
Oh teach him, his should be his aim,
To cheer the aching heart,
To strive whore thickest darkness rciyns
Some radiance TO impart;
To spread peaceful quiet calm
Where dwclls the noise of strife,
Thus doing good and blessing all
To spend the whole Of life.
10 love with pure affection deep,
All creatures great and small
And still a stronger love TO bear
For Him, who made them all.

That thus TO thee is given,
To rear spirit fit TO be
