The Chihuahua Heroes.

The hardy boys who have Just performed the most
remarkable march in modern times and gained some OF
the most brilliant victories of this war, showed themselves
in great numbers in our streets yesterday They are
truly bold, fearless indomtabe band. When they
landed from the vessel their appearance reminded OF
the pictures OF Robinson Cusoe, and other shpwrecked
adventures, who having been long time banshed from
civilization, and compelled to live among savages and
wild beasts suddenly transferred to their homes and
the very suits of clothes which they put on six months
ago, when they first commenced their perllous march
Many whose garments have long ago been worn or torn
off BY exposure and hardship, clad IN skins and
hides Not few in borrowed plumes, having endued
themselves in clothes captured from the enemy There
were many, too, whose garments were OF composite
nature being made up OF their old clothes, sometimes
eked out by Mexican uniforms, and sometimes BY deer
and goat skins An old calico shirt would peep out of
grey goat skin, and off into pair Of snowy scarlet
ineXpressibes, once worn by some proud ldneero.
Altogether such motley band never before paraded
on soil The sympathy and admiration of our people,
already deeply aroused in behalf of these gallant boys by
the details OF their extraordinary exploits were greatly
increased BY the appearance OF hardship exposure and
suffering, which they presented But they did not long
remain in their shabby garments They had large arrears
against Uncle Sam, who prompt and liberal paymas
Ter and who furnished them with the means OF rig
ging themselves up in handsome Style In short time,
what change takes place in their appearance! They

Hemen in city. Their robust frames, embrowned
complexion, bold and bright eyes, and manly carriage,
betoken the life OF daring ortitude and sereance which
they have led for the last twelve months.
The health of this force has been generally very good,
which will always be the when the men are kept on
the march Although they have been exposed to every
danger incident military fehave fought several
battes and encountered the trying vcssltudes OF
heat and coldheir loss has been much less than many
of the regiments that have not yet seen heste force or
known any OF the serious perils of military life
All honor them to these gallant men. Their bravery,
foitude and perseverance, are not surpassed in history
And whom it is considered that they went forth against
the enemy, not regular soldersnot those whose
trade had long been and from whom honor and duty
demanded the sacrifcebut volunteers, seeking glory,
and supporting the honor and rights OF proud republic,
language is inadequate to express the admiration and
applause due to their extraordinary achievements

origin OF the war-confcsses the superiority which the
Americans have far displayed in arms-depores the
carnage and the antpathy between the two races, which
will be the result OF the adoption by the Mexicans of the
guerilla system of defence, and concludes that the
sequence will be the Intervention of the transatlantic
powers and the establishment of throne in Mexico,
which will be occupied by European prince.
But the author does not stop here After citing the cir
cumstances which he considers must OF necessity lead
this result he INDUCES in reflections which seem
intended to alarm the Americans by representing to them
the ultimate consequence Of European Intervention TO the
destruction of the republican form of government in
