army would make a demonstration on the
Posts on the Rio Grande, and thus cut
off Gen. Taylor's communications and
supplies. Another letter says that the
movement was absolutely necessary to
procure supplies, as the army had cx-
hausted every thing of the kind in that
district of country. One Of letters to
which we refer is from an officer in the
Mexican army"
1t was further reported that Gen. Tar
lor had fallen back towards Monterey,
and expected every day 10 have a battle.
This, however, was not credited at New
Orleans. The Picayune entertains grea-
ter apprehension for the injuries the Mex
leans may inflict in the valley Of the riv-
err and at Camargo than at Monterey or
beyond that point; and the Bulletin also
deems it the true policy of Santa Anna
to reach the banks of rhe Rio Grande,
and selze upon Matamoras or Camargo,
rather than attack Saltillo or Monterey.
At the latter place, though the American
garrison is only about 1900 men, they
are SO advantageously fortified as to be
able 10 resist the whole army that Santa
Anna could bring against them. In one
fort alone there are mounted upwards of
thirty cannon, which completely COM
mand the city.

Though clouds o~'ercast our native sky,
And seem TO dim the sun,
We will not down in langor lie,
Or deem the day is done:
The rural arts we loved before
No less well cherish now;
And crown the banquet, as of yore.
With Honor to the Plow.
In these fair fields, whose peaceful spoil
To faith and hope are given.
Well seek the prize with honest tell,
And leave the rest to Heaven.
Well grid US to our work like men
Who owe a holy VOW,
And if in Joy we meet again,
Give Honor to the Plow.
Let Art, array'd in magic power.
With Labor hand in hand,
Go forth, and now in peril's hour
Sustain a sinking land.
Let never Slolh unnerve the ARM,
Or Fear the Spirit cow;
These words alone should work charm
All honor 10 the Plow.
The heath redress, the meadow drain,
The latent swamp explore,
And Ger The long-expecting plain
Difuse the ~quickening store:
Then fearless urge the furrow deep
Up to the mountains brow,
And when the rich results you reap,
Give Honor to the Plow.
So Still shall Health by.pastures green
And nodding harvest rosm,
And still behind her rustic screen
Shall Virtue find a home:
And while their bower the muses. build
Beneath the neighboring bough,
Shall many a grateful verse be filled
With Honor to the Plow.

to find a path across the mountain. In
the evening he found some water &c
quench his thirst. He then determined
TO retrace his steps down the valley, and
did so, marching without food. During
the 26th, 81, and 2Sth, he walked along
through the chapperaI and prickly pears,
without TODD or water, frequently seeing
parties Of Mexicans, whom he had to a.
void. On the 2Sth he killed a rat with a
club, part of which he ate, and put ths
balance in his pocket for apothar meal.
On the night of the 9th he reached the
road, and followed it until an hour after
sunrise, when he discovered a party OF
horsemen approaching. Not knowing
whether they were friends or enemies,
he concealed himself until they came near,
when he discovered that they were a
picked guard of Arkansas troops. He
gave one shout and gave up; nature was
exhausted! His nerves which had been
strung up to the highest degree of tension,
become unstrung, and he was almost help
less. They put him on a horse. and
took him to Aqua Neuva, where Captain
Pike commanded an outpost.
Capt. Pike informed me hat when
Henric came in he was the most misera-
BILE looking being he ever saw. His shoes
were worn out, his pantaloons cut in rags,
his head was bare, and his hair and beard
were matted-his hands, feet and legs
were filled with thorns from the prickly
pear, and his skin was parched and with
cred with privation, exposure and exer-
ton. He had tasted no water for four
days, and seemed almost famished foE
want of it. The soldiers gathered round
him and all that was in their wallets was
at his service, and as they had recently
had q new outfit of clothing, Capt. Fl.
was oon newly fitted out. After resting
a while and getting some foodh he was a.
bic TO ride TO this place. He says that
during the pursuit there were more than
one hundred shots fired at him, one oil
which passed through his hair.

WASHINGTON. March 2, ls47.

Gendemen-I regret that my personal
arrangements previously made, deprive
me of the pleasure Of accepting your kind
invitation to attend a public dinner, to be
given by the Wing Young Men Of the
City and County Of Philadelphia, to the
Hon. Andrew Stewart, "as a manifesto
ton of their regard for his long and able
services in the Wing cause"
But beg to assure you, that no ore
appreciates more sincerely than myself.
The zeal, fidelity, and ability displayed by
Mr.. Stewart, in support Of our great ma
ional interests. For the las, four years
we have been associated in the public
service, and perhaps | may ask to be con-
siderod a competent witness to his con-
slant and disinterested labors, ain season
and out of season." to promote the well
fare and protect the rights Of American
Industry. The tribute of confidence and
respect which you propose to render him,
has been fairly earned BY his faithful, eff
icient, and patriotic efforts.
am, gentlemen, with great respect,
your obedient servant,
W. HUNT.
Messrs. E. Joy Morris, 8. S. Kelly,
Townsend Ward, Committee. &c.

and his command, which consists of about
six hundred men-fve hundred of them
being of his own troops, (the first regi-
ment of mounted Missouri volunteers, J
and a detachment Of one hundred men
from Santa Fe, under command Of Lieut..
Col. MITCHELL, of the second regiment
consisting of thirty men from Clark's bat
talon of light artillery, under command
Of Capt. HUDsoS and Lieut.. KRIBBEN,
and seventy from Col. PRIcE's regiment
and Col. WnLocK's battalion. They
then assert that they will massacre every
American in New Mexico, and confiscale
all their goods.
A letter from Lieut.. ALBERT, of the
United States Typographical Engineers,
of later date, confirms all the above intel
ligence. The details of the battle of
Bracito are also confirmed. The massa-
ere beyond doubt has been q terrible one,
OF which we have as yet heard but the be-
ginning, and the instruction has been
kept so quiet until all was ready for the
outbreak, that our handful of troops there
must be overpowered before any effort
can be made to relieve them from the
most advanced of our Western posts.
Letters received at St. Louis state that
Colonel Cooke and The Mormon battalion
were three hundred and fifty miles be-
yond Santa Fe. They were generally in
good health and progressing slowly.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
March 3. IS47.

Gentlemen:-I have the honor TO 40
knowledge the receipt of your letter, In
viting me to attend a public dinner, to be
given on the 9Th inst, to the Hon. An
drew Stewart, by the Wing Young Men
of Philadelphia-and | deeply regret thar
it will not be in my power to unite with
you in this deserved compliment to one
of the ablest champions Of the protection
policy in National Councils. Though
his efforts. and those of bis able and elo-
quent Wing colleagues, could not preserve
the Tariff OF 1912, | trust they will soon
be renewed under circumstances more ia
vorable to the protection policy. Ger
tainly if the interests Of Pennsylvania
are not sufficiently protected, it IS in con-
sequence of no want of zeal or ability on
the part of the distinguished representa-
tive from the eighteenth District, and his
Wing colleague in the House Of Repre-
sentatlves.
/ am, gentlemen, with sentiments Of
high regard, your obedient servant
JAMES DIXON.

Committee, &c.
