It is somewhat remarkable that the fact has escaped the notice of the newspaper press, that the battle of Cerro Gorde was fought on Sunday Gen. Scott's plan of battle bears evidence ofhavins been drawn up deliberately, and his appointing the Christian Sabbath for the dreadful wstk of destruction, was issued without reference to any emergency, oT any circumstances which were regarded as cORsti- tuting pressing necessity for giving battle. The attack was on our part, and might have been delayed 24 hours, without detriment to the plans of the war. and without hazarding the safety of the army. Built IS literally true that there is. and that there can be ne Sabbaths in war Notwithstanding ihe saudatiens be- slowed upon Gen. Scott, fer reverently hold ing candle in the Catholic Cathedral of Vera Cruz few Sab5aths before the battle. Il IS not improbable that amidst the din of the camp and all the untoward influences under which he conceived and published his plan of tae battle. Gen. Scott entirely forgot the ihteryen. ton of day of sacred and universal rest - Why, indeed, should he remember OF regard It, Why should the uplifted arm of battle be arrested or the car of conquest be stayed, by the interference of an institution so utterly at variance with the spirit of the Mexican war, as is .he Christian Sabbath Tie spitit of var and spirit of the sabbath cahnot cO-sxisi.

The News from Mexico, to-day, is what might be expected, the fligh; and dispersal of Santa Anna and his forcs, and the peaceful oc cuPatien of JalHpa by our troops. Gen. Worth too, occupies the next towd ca route, viz, Pc. rOts, but at Puebla some distance further on. resistsncs is threatened. The news is rather vague, in the form we have it, and the above is about all that can be relied upon. But i, seems probable that Gen. Scott will push on with all speed toward the city of Mexico, and attempt 10 c"nf"uNd the enemy by the rapidity and dar- ing Of his march. It is a perilous undertaking to appear before Mexico with the few men he will have after properly garrisonirg the cities fn his possession, but if the thing can be dene and the present consternation of the Mexicans can thus be improved, the successful result will save us oceans of blood. and perhaps '" con- qner' for us temporary peace.
 The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian says:
 The population of Perote is over ten thou sand. It is distant from Jalspa about fifty miles, and is nearly midway between the cap- ital and Vera Cruz There is no place ofim. portance after passing Perote until yeu come to Puebla, city of five thousand inhab,tan with thriving population, princip pally cnga- ged in manufacturers of lead, cotton goods glass, sarthenware, and soap, with numerous splendid churches-tins Spanish houses, with lofty ceilings, and ornamented walls, broad clean streets, and a cathedral, the interior of which is perfect blaze of gold and precious stone.

It isa walled city, and is distant iroR the capital about s,yentv- eight miles ,.-he only town of any noe be- tween Puebla and the city of Mexico, is Cohu, lla, the ancient capital of great independcn, Republic, which contained during the time o Cortez. and according to his own account. fort. thousand hou ses The noted pyramid here is work of art which, next to the pyramids o Egypt, approaches nearest to those of nature r magnitude and vas.ness.
