SilaSfWright is Dead,

deep gloom is spread over the counteHanNS

About half psst eight O'Clock, AN, Mr. Wright

health. While seated in a chair at the Post-Of

twice before within the week felt similar PAIN and
that upon sitting down, it passed away. But M

sent for DIR. CLARK, who soon came into the ofh''
and gave Mr. Wright some medicine, which seem.

RETURNING TO ON CusroMs.-The
Church Of the Pilgrims, in Boston, under
the pastoral charge of Rev. M. Hale Smith
have resolved to dispense with choir sing
ing, when they enter their new place OF
worship, and restore the puritanical mode
congregational singing. At the invita-
ton of the pastor, Lowell Mason, Esq
gave lecture on Sunday, July 18th, in
fremont Temple, on the practicability and
utility of congregational singing. He took
the ground that reform was called for
in church music. Now it can be kept
up only with great expense and great
toll. 1t does not answer the great pur-
pose for which singing the the praises Of
God was designed. On the part of the
audience it is pleasing exhibition or a
matter Of criticism. The practicability
of congregational singing was proved by
the fact that it was the mode universal
IN the church, from the beginning, I'M
I'll within few years. He had no ques-
ton OF its perfect success, aud had no
doubt that in two or three years it would
become generally adopted. The church.
for time, might be regarded as old fash
Toned. or perhaps as Introducing a new
fashion; but it is one. he said, that is
destined to exert great influence upon
this important subject

leo have been very bloody, if we except
Buena Vista. 1t is not a very sanguinary
battle in which the number of killed and
wounded does not amount to one fifth Of
the combatants.
At Palo Alto, the American force was
PISS, loss killed and A wounded-or
in 43.
At Resaca, Americans engaged, abou,
2000-killed 40, wounded 81, or one in

At Monterey. Americans not quite 6OOO
killed l26, wounded $50, or one in a.

At Buena Vista, our force engaged Wa.
about 5000, and loss in killed and wound
ed, about 100, or about one in z.
At Cerro Gordo, our proportion of kill
ed and wounded to our force engaged, was
not one in 20, probably.
Let US compare these with other well
known engagements.
AT, Bunker's (Breed's) hill, the Ameri-
can loss in killed and wounded was 400,
out of 1900 engaged, or in 3 l-2.
At the siege of Savannah, the Ameri-
can loss was 240 in 1000 engaged, or a.
bout ind.
In the last war. OF the battle of Lundy's
Lane, if we remember rightly, more than
every third man fell, either killed or woun-
ded.
In the battles Of Napoleon, the slaugh-
ter was often prodigious. At Borodino,
the b!oodiest fight, perhaps, in modern
times, the number of troops on each side
was about 5000, and the loss of the
Russians was between 46 and $4,000 men
or one in every three, at least, ofthe whole
number of their forces in the field.-The
French loss was thirty or thirty-6ve thou
sand, or about in 4 In this tremen-
dous battle, so, 900 men fell, or every third
mani
In the famous battle of Waterloo, the
forces on each side were about IS 900.
The loss to the French, on the field. in
killed and wounded, was probably &c, 900
men, and the loss to the British and allies
about 16, 900; so that in this renowned
battle, every fourth man was wounded or
slain.-[Newburyport Herald

THE WAY THE WAR COMMEN.
CED.

The Rev. Mr.. Brownson, one of the a.
blest and most intelligent Locofoeos in the
country, in a late number Of the Review,
says:
1.-THE course the President should have
pursued is plain and obvious. On learn
ing the state Of things on the frontier, the
critical condition of our army of occupa-
ton, he should have demanded of Con-
gress the reinfcrcements and supplies nee
essary to relieve it and secure the purpose
for which it was avowedly sent to the Rio
Grande; and, if he believed it proper or
necessary, to have in addition laid before
Congress full and truthful statement of
our relations with Mexico, including all
the unadjusted complaints, past and pres
ent. we had against her, accompanied with
the recommendation of declaration Of
war. He would then have kept within the
limits OF his duty, proved himself plain
constitutional President, and left the re-
sponsibiity of war or no war to Congress,
the only war making power known to laws.
Congress, after mature deliberation, might
or might not, have declared war,-most
likely would not but whether so or not,
the responsibility would have rested with
it, and no blame would have attached to
the President.
Unhappily, this course did not occur to
the President, or was too plain and simple
to meet his appreciation. BY declaring
that the war already existed, and by the
act of Mexico herself the President relie-
we'd Congress OF the responsibility of the
war, by throwing it all on Mexico But
since he cannot fdsten it on Me1ieo, for
war did not already exist, or if so by our
own act, and net hers, it necessarily re-
coils upon himself, and he must bear the
responsibility Of doing ,ohaf tie COnstifu-
tion torJids him to do,-of making rcdr
pithout the Intervention of Congress. In
effect therefore he has frampled the Con-
stitution under his feet, set dangerous
precedent, and by the official publication
of a paIpable taLsehood. suiliedthe national
honor. 1t is with no pleasure that we
speak thus of the chief magistrate of the
Union, for uhose elevation to his high and
responsible office ICE ourseloes vOted. But
whatever may be our attachment to party,
or the respect that we hold to be due from
all good citizens to the civil magistrate,
we cannot see the Constitution violated
and the national honor sacrificed, wheth-
er by friend or foe, from good motives or
bad, without entering, feeble though it
may be, our stern and indignant protest.

PuEBLA, Mexico, August 6, 1Sl7.

Gen, Pierce arrived this morning-hls men
though much faded and ravel-worn, max
lug u most soldierly appearance. The 9Th.
regiment in particnlar-ihe New England
regiment commanded by Col. Rausom-at-
| tracted much attention from the crowds as
semblcd TO see the new levies enter.
Notwithstanding all the stories told in the
Mexican papers il seems that Gen. Pierce
has brought his command through without
losing a man. and with but three or four
| wounded. He was attacked several times
by Guerrilla parties, yet by prompt meas
ures succeeded in routing them on every
occasion. A good story is told Of Capt. Bod
fish, who commands one of the New-En gland
companes-a regular lunberman and
bridge builder from sway down in the Stale
of Maine" Arrived at Plan del Rio, what
did they find but the bridge had been de-
siroyed yet Capt. b had his Yankee in
eenuity about him, and in lew hours time
tho entire command was taken safely over by
means of q new road which he himself cut.

he routed the Guefrillas at San Juan de los

was complete.
We have a hundred conflicting rumors

feet that Valencia is coming out with $4,000
men TO attack US in front, while Alvarez,
with 5000 Pintos, makes demonstration
in the rear another report has it that Santa
Anna has disarmed 5000 Of the Guarda
Nacional, having discovered that they were
Matching some plot against him while still
another report would have it that a regular
revolution had broken out against the benz

fusion worse confounded. at Mexico at last
dates. Then, again, Wa have il that Puebla
is 10 be attacked immediately after the army
has left, the garrison iput TO the sword. and
the citizens severely muleted and robbed Tor
the good treatment they have given the
Yankees. For any one Of these rumors there
is probably not the least shadow Of tounda-
lion; YET as the Mexicans feed themselves up
on The hops Of what they should do. they have
given them circulation as facts and very
likely one-hali Of the community believe
them. There can be little doubt OF one thing
that Santa Anna is comprised about with
difficulties, and that although al present he
rides upon the whirlwind and directs the
Storm the obstinacy Of Congress and the
iealousyland slubborness OF such men as
Valencia hedge him in with perfect wall Of

most lar-seeing man among them, he may
still be enabled to keep The upper hands and
