barity and tyranny The land between the NueceS and
Rio Grnnde-the battle. fields OF Pho Alto and Resaca
la Palma.
II may not be! Forbid it, God!
Forbid it, all that patriots prize:
That land has tasted lreemen's blood;
Their dust within its bosom lies.
'1'were madness TO resign the soil
On which our conquerng feet have trod;
Battling our way with glorious TOLL
It may no, be-furbid il, God!
Can we relinquish lands where now
The striped and starry banners wave'
No never! We engrave our vow
On every fallen brothers. grave.
They could not sleep, (,he slaughtered brave
Who in their beds of glory resl,)
And feel the footstep of the slave
Pollute the soil above their breast.
Resign the field where RINGGoLD fell!
The spot where gallant STEVENS lies!
Where COCHRAN felt his bosom swell
Triumphant in deaths agonies'
Where brave and vrluous hearts pour'd out
The life so dear to hope and love,
Invoking with their dying shout
Our country-and our God above?
No! By our country and our God,
We will not yield that dear bought soil!
We still have hearts with generous blood,
And souls 10 dare the conquerors toll.
On! To the rescued Hearts of steel
On! To the rescue! Souls of fire
Let kindred blood inlame our zeal
To conquer-trumph-or expire.
Huzza! Press on where Taylor stands
Invinciblc in conquering might;
We must prevail where he commands,
And God susiains our sacred right.
Ask Taylor TO retrace his way,
And leave his conquest to the foe!
And this broad land, from sea TO sea,
Shall echo his emphatic MOI!
No, never! this is holy ground,
Bought and baplised with patriot blood;
See with her letters half unbound,
She lifts her hands to Freedoms God
By Freedoms God. she shall be free!
lluzza! brave hearts press boldly on;
Strike home, nor pause till victory
Shall put her olive garland on
Till DER that land TO utmost parts .r.

Delta, contains connected and inteligi.
BILE account of Gen. SCOTS operation,
from the termination of the armistice to
his victorious occupation Of the enemy's
Capital. ...
Correspondence of the N. O. Delta.
Cry OF MEXICO, Sept. 25 1916.
The Mexcans having repeatedly violat.
ed the armislice agreed upon between our
army and themselves, Gen Scott on the
9Th, notified the Mexican authorities that
unless they made explanation, satisfaction
and reparation for the injuries we had re.
ceived, they should consider the armistce
at an end on the 7th a, l2oclock. They
not complying with the demand of Gen
Scott, we commenced preparations for the
attack.
The General.in. Chief received informa-
ton that a, Molino del Reg, where stood
several buildings, the Mexicans were at
work casting cannon, shells, shot, &c
Desiring to stop their military operations,
he directed Gen Worth, with his division,
supported by Gen CaJwallader's Brigade,
TO attack and destroy the place, on the
morning Of the Sth, and then retire. The
buildings, which the Mexicans call casa
Mata," is situated on the West side of
ChapuItepec, and within six pound range
of the guns of the fort. On the west side
of the buildings, and the breas,works, A.
round them, is a large open plain, gradu-
ally descending to the position occupied
by the Mexicans-a deep ravine inclnes
around this plain, or open space, until it
arrives within about two hundred yards of
the building upon which rested the enemy
right aank-two "a Founders, belonging TO
Cap:. Hnger's siege train, were placed in
position to batter down the breast.works
and buildings, if they were found to be
occupied by heavy-but they did not
fire but few shots, before Gen. Worth
advanced his infantry down the plain, and
attacked the enemy's in the front and cen.
tire. The Mexicans opened upon them
a most murderous fire from the point al
tackled, and both their TANKS, which now
ed down our troops like grass before the
scythe.
Many of the best officers Of the divls-
ion were cut Gown, and the heavy loss in
the ranks caused the advance to waver for
a moment, until the supporting force came
up, whish also sustained severe loss. A
column of lancers, numbering 1000 TO
5000, which were stationed on the enc
my's right, perceving the effect of this
deadly fire upon our infantry, came char.
ging down, in the hope Of being able to
take advantage Of circumstances, and put
our troops to rout--but they were soon
checked in their onward career. Col
Duncan brought two pieces of his battery
to bear upon them, and Cap, Drum, with
the two recap,ured Buena Vista pieces,
also opened his fire on lhem-while at
the same moment, Major Summer, with
Two squadrons of dargoons, and Capt,
RuA's company Of mounted rifles, which,
until then. had been held in the reserve
