Though there is great difference between
trading and gaming. ye. most Of that difference
is LOST. when men once trade with the same de.
sires and .empers. and for the same end. thai
others game !; charity and fine dressing are
things very different, but if men give aims for
the same reasons ,ha, others dress fine, only
to be seen and admired charity is then bu, like
the vanity Of fine clothes. In like manner u
The same motives make some people painful

On his rival al Huanautla q sanguiuary engage
ment took place in the streets, between the force
Of Capt. Walker, consisting Of $50 men, that Of
that Mexcans numbering 1000.
"The result Of this contest was the total ex-
pulsion of the enemy from the town, and its occu-
patton by our valiant little army, which lost in
the battle only SIX men bat the gallant Walker,
after performing prodigies of valor and feats of
the most daring character, fell in single combat,
pierced by the spear of an enrageG father who
was gcaded TO actual frenzy by the death of his
son, whose fall beneath the arn Of Captain Wal
ker he had just witnessed. The father rushed
forward needless of all danger to revenge his
child's death, aud attacking the Captain with al
most irresistible violence, plunged his spear into
hs body and slew him almost instantly. In this
engagement the.Mexicans lost 200 men aud three
pieces of artillery.
"The latter were thrown into guey ad Join.
ing the town, by the victors. After the achev-
ement of their object, which was the dispersion
of the enemy, for which they were despatched

place and directed their course to Pinal on the
Puebla road, which they reached without any op
position. There meeting with Gen. Lane, the
combined American force continued its march
upon Puebla.
"They found this city in state Of insurrec-
ton, and accordingly entered it in platoons-de

VIRGINIA DESTINED TO BE FREE. The Norfolk
Herald abiding to a statement in the Parkersburg
West Val Gazette, that large numbers of cit-
zens of the Old Dominion are leaving her terri
tory for the Far West, says:
Now in this there is nothing that should cause
regret in Virginia. Let those who are lured by
the prospect Of gain, or who really believe that
they can better their condition by emigratlng to
the new States, follow their bent-and take their
slaves along with ihem The vacuum may cause
a nomentary weakness, but it will only be to re-
crut with two.tod vigor. The place Of every
slave will in time be filed by hardy, industrious,
tax paying, musket- bearing freeman, of the right
stuff 10 people free State, WHICH VIRGINIA is
DESTINED TO BE ONE OF THESE DAYS, and The
sooner Consistently ,oih reasoH) The better tOr her

A letter in the Providence Journal from 1t
Slocum, of the Rhode Island Company, says
On the very summit of the hill our noble and gal
liant COL fell dead. receiving shot on the left
side, passing clear through and coming out at
the back of his head. But On we went, placed
our ladders against the wall, cut down the men at
the guns, and in fact gave them some few little
extras not before published. Our gallant and
noble hearted major Thomas H. Seymour, cut
down the tri-colored emblem of their national
treachery, and in its stead flung to the breeze
the stars and stripes. 1t is impossible to describe
how felt while marching or crawling up that
hill, my men close upon my heels, the smells
bursting all around me. the round shot roaring,
