The CITY orMexirn

The city of Mexico is siltsateJ in very
extensive plain; and still, SO elevated are
The mountains which surround it, that,
from the ersss.ways in the centre of the
city, on which, every side, the eye may
gaze, each street really seems to be bound
by these mountains. whose snowy heads
hang as IL it were over the city, and grand
beyond description are the effects Of LIGHT
during the suns setting and rising.
The city is worthy of the scenery; the
streets are parallel, very wide, and well
paved. The houses are Of stone, and
generally two or three. stories high, with
very large centre court-yards, and inside
galleries TO each story, supported by col
umns from the easements the whole city
is covered with terraces, the (runts are
more or less ornamented; there is not
ward without its palace; the palace of the
nquisition and the national palace arc the
most remarkable; many of the houses
present front of 400 TO 600 feet; the
public square is very fine, although its
symmetry has been somewhat destroyed
by the building of mean stores on one Of
its wings.
The cathedral is truly magnificent, aud
neither gold nor silver have been spared
for the ornament of its affairs. The basis
Of the high altar is Of massive silver, the
PUPPETS are cut out of blocks of marble.
There are many converts, all of I'M
niense size. The San Domingo is the
largest, and has a fine gallery OF paintings,
which, 10 the eye, appears as long as that
of the Louvre in Paris. The churches
are all very large, and richly ornamented.
Aqueducts, which have cost immense
sums Of money, supply the city with wa
ter, and also the fountains in several
wards, for the use of the people. The
Almeida is beautiful walk, parallelo-
grain, ornamented with trees. The prin-
cipal alleys form a cross, and very hand
some fountain, with jets d'eau, or water
spouts, about 10 feet high, is placed in
the centre. Four others divide the an
giles. There are also several very fine
walks around the city; the most fashion,
able is that on the canal Cealco, which
is bordered with trees. 1t is through the
canal that this city is provided with yege-
tables.
The mint is an immense establishment
1t formerly coined $24,OOO,OO0 per am
mum, and at present it hardly coins e.
100000; but then il was the only city in
the country, whilst now most Of the states
have their mint. One of the presses,
worked by nine men, coins 10000 doub-
looms per day.
The population ofihe city of Mexico,
which in former times exceeded 10000
souls, is now said hardly to reach l4O,-
600.

PILES OF SEVEN YEARS STANDING CURED.
DEAn DocroR,-I have been a perfect victim
to the complaint called Piles, contracted in the

The New Orleans Delta Of the 26gh
uisimo, IN reference TO the important in.
seiligence from the seat Of war says:
"Ner did our army encounter bar.
barbarian, cowardly aud ilnbecile enemy.
All rumors concur that they stood brayely
by their homes and 6resides, and fought
with the desperation Of men determined
TO bury themselves in the ruins Of their
capital. Their President brayely placed
himself at their head, and fell wounded in
lhe conflict. The veteran and indomitabls
Bravo, whose name brings to mind many
q gallant deed of the war of Mexican In
dependence, offered up his lite for the
country which he had SO long and faith
fully served. The blood of hundreds and
thousands Of Mexicans stained the streets
and house tops Of the faled capital, before
the invincible superiority Of the American
prowess was conceded, and our army oc.
cupied their capital.
1--WE await with feverish impasienca
the details of these illuslrious achieve
ments."
The Pensacola Gazette received lasg
night, contains an extract Of a letter re-
ceived there, which tends strongly to con-
firm the above statement. II is as fol-
lows:
"On the 9th inst, the armisiice was

Gen. Wofth's division was attacked by a
large force of Mexicans. The Mexicans
were routed-one Of the Mexican Gem
erals killed and another wounded badly
they had about $500 killed and wounded.
We had General Worth dangerously
wounded, and about l,100 OF his men
killed and wounded.
An express arrived here Yesterday,
bringing an account Of Gen. Scoit's entry
into the city Of the Aztecs; the news is
from Mexican source. The last fight
between Scott and the enemy Is said to
have been most severe one, the latter
moi having surrendered without terrible
struggle, on both sides-while it lasted, a
fearful slaughter was effected. Santa An

gone to Guadaloupe, with the shattered
remnant of his defeated army.

ALEOpARD AMONG US.

Some few years since Leopard e.
scaped from Menagerie while traversing
the county in the neighborhood of Penns
Valley, Centre county. The farmers in
the vicinity of Adamsburg, this county
have lately been complaining very much
of the destruction committed by some ra-
venous beast among their foeks Of Sheep.
From variety OF circumstances they
were satisfied it could not be wolves and
they were quite at loss to ascertain
what animal il could be. About week
since two young men by the names Of
Isaac Shook and Mr.. Knep, being out af-
ter night about two miles frbm Adams
burg were attacked by a leopard which
sprang at young Shook, but he succeeded
in avoiding it, and by loud calls for help
frightened it away. The neighbors i'm
mediately pursued it with dogs for some
distance towards the mountain when the
leopard turned upon them and seizing one
of the dogs tore HIM dreadlully, which
frightened the rest and they finally E.
scaped. Union Star. (New Berlin.

AMERICAN FARMERS.

"Many thousand farmers in New Eng
land rear large families, pay their debts
and taxes promptly and live independents
", well clothed and comfortably housed
and provided. for, and lay up money, on
farms Of so acres. The idea is, that
these people labor severely. This is a
great mistake. They have much, be-
cause they waste no time. With them
there is place for every thing, and every
thing in its place-'a time for every thing
to be done, and every thing done in its
time,' and well done. Their horses and
cattle. tools and implements, are attended
TO with clock-like regularity. Nothing is
put of tall tomorrow which can be done
to-day. Economy is wealth, and system
affords case. These men are seldom in
hurry, except in harvest time. And in
long winter evenings or severe weather,
one makes corn brooms, another shoes,
third is a carpenter, cooper, or tailor:
one woman spins, another weaves, a
third knits, sews, or plaiis 'Leghorn Bon
nets.' And the family thus occupied, are
among the most healthy and cheerful in
the world. It is easy with them to re-
duee their wishes 10 their means, acon-
venient or imprudent; and TO extend their
means to their wishes"

THE FEMALE ARMYI IN Sw1TzER.
LAND.

We have mentioned in previous num-
Der the two regiments of the women of
the Canton OF Uri, but we find in French
paper, notice of them, which we trans
late hterally;-"The two ba.allions, mum.
bering fourteen hundred females in mill
tary dress, present an aspect at the same
time formidable and captivating. In their
evoIutions and discipline they are drilled
TO perfection. Curiously enough, SUPERB.
ority of form and beauty mas been very
much the reason of difference oil grade;
the handsoInest are Of the advance guard,
and this post of distinction and danger
seems willingly conceded them by their
companions who are less favored by ma
ture. Some classification has been gui-
ded by temperament also. The more vi
vid and Eighty have been enrolled as vol
tiguers, or light-horse-the more phleg-
matte as grenadiers. Those who have
figures of more embonpoint are in the
central body, those Of slighter forms are
stationed at the wings. The coarse and
rude are enrolled as Dragons and can
unieres. The creation of this corps,
(which with its discipline and enthusiasm
seems likely, at the first three Of the poIit-
i'al movement OF Europe, to take possess
sion of the Helvotian soi) is an exercise
of the powerful genius of SaIis.Soglio,
who has reserved to himself the general
command.-llome Journal.
