The Albany Argus has very happy article the oath

showing how the Americans, in every State and region.
have stood together side by side, and binding this gor
Union firmly together by the blood which they have
poured out the same battle6clds AS it was in the
great Of the revolution, when they fought in the
ranks, and the great leader of armies was from
the slave States, and the in command from the
norh-as it was in the of 1872 when the blood of
the south poured out the soil of New York, and
Scott and Gaines, from the slave holding region CO.
operated with Brown and Wool and other brave spirits
from the north, and when Jackson overwhelmed the
British power the plains of New Orleans-so
has been during the present war, when the New
York and Palmetto troops along with those of every
State, without regard to latitude or longitude, have
fought together the memorable battle fields which
have commanded the establishment and admiration of
the world. There they fought, side by side, covering
each other with aures and scattering the honored graves
OF their mutual countrymen with garlands of cypress
and OF laurel The Argus happily quotes many striking
passages from the dispatches of Scott and OF Shields
illustrate this glorious cooperation We compelled
to confne ourselves to a few hasty extracts
From Gen SCOTS account of The capture of Chapwltepec.
The New York and South Carolina volunteers (Shiedss
bgad) and the I'd Pennsylvania volunteers, all on the left
of Quitmans line, together with portions of his sormng
parties, crossed the meadows in 'front.' under heavy fire.
and entered the enclosure of Chaputepec just
time to Join in the final assault from the west.'
From Gen Shields on the battle of Confreras.
"The Palmetto regiment crossing deep ravne depoy
cd on both sides the road and opened destructive
fire the mingled of infantry and cavalry and
the New York regiment brought into line lower down, and
on the road side, delivered its fire with like effect
from me same ohcerS account Of the 6d OF Churtbusco
81 selected the Palmetto regiment the base of my line
and this gallant regiment moved forward firmly and rapid
y under fire of musketry terrible, perhaps, any
which soldiers faced the New York; I2th and l5h
deployed gaany the right and the 9th the left, and
the whole advanced, opening their fire they up,
and moving steadily forward The enemy began WAIVER,
and when my order charge given, the rushed
upon and scattered his broken ranks As reached the
road the advance Of Worths command appeared driving
the enemy from his stronghold of Churubusco."
1T is thus (says the Albany Argus) that SoUm CARROLL
"a New YORK. and PENNSYLVANIA stood side by side in
these glorious battlesthe brilliant In the annals of
The world and thinking only OF their countrytheir whole

IN the mortal strife the plains Of Mexico
How insignificant, in the estimation of all enlightened

And now ask, when these glorious victories have
