THE UNION.

such spienan sheet BY the Washington steamer across
the Atantc and can only regret that it did not also EN-
brace the counepartthe second budget of dispatches
which published on Monday night embracing all the
affairs after the conclusion of the armstice The Albany
Argus justly considers them 'surpassing in thrilling
interest anything in the shape of dispatches that have
heretofore been published during the Mexican campaign
being full accounts OF the terrific affairs of Moline del
Rey Chaputepec, and those within and near the gates
of the capital
We have grouped together all the dispatches from our
gallant army, together with other matter, in our last
Weekly Union-making, in fact one of the most valu-
BILE sheets which was ever issued from this office.
Some of the English journals, when they receive these
thrilling evidences of American gaantry and SKILL may
attempt to decry them; but it will be all in vain The
truth will make its way in spite of national prejudice.
The enlightened statesmen of Europe will justly appre-
cate achievements, and do justice to our Some
have already set this EXAMPLES for instance, the
Leeds (English) Mercury which says;
Whas zoe o,on bu depore the badness of their cause
must be admitted that the military conduct of the american
officers and the bravery of their men, may be compared 10Th
the achievements of the peean troops Of any European State
And especially ohen considered that the american leoies
neoy raised and that their generals haze had compare
tueiy little experience ,oar apprehend any military
of candor 0ond aodrd them the highest credit for skill
and daring courage, both IN the field and IN the attack Of for
tfcations. There be doubt that the military
sources of the United States will have risen exceedingly in
the opinion Of the world by the OF this war, notw
standing the unfounded and nudcious rdcule which
eral of our daily papers throw upon them"
We regret that all these dispatches cannot be repub-
shed in every American Journal in all their length and
breadth of detail but impossible to expect it, Among
these prints is the New York Globe, which does ample
justice the spendor of the achievements in the follow
ing terms:
OFFICIAL DEsrATcHEs.-Our limits would not enable us
publish all the dispatches received from General Scott
and his officers but consider them altogether the
interesting documents published, detailing series OF
the most brilliant engagements and victories before the city
of Mexico which, if equaled taking into consdea
ton the disparity of numbers side, certainly have
been surpassed and it will require the greatest nge
nuy the part of English editors opposed the country
to give any false coorng, Ambiguous gvngs OUT ela
tive to the great and glorious results which have accrued to
in every battle fought in Mexico; is the glory
to be diminished by undertaking the defence of the Next
cans which in many instances has been brave and dete
mined 1t is difficult say which admire most the skill
and perseverance of officers the ndoitabe bravery
of Our army OF citizens is equal to any
gency and the reflect the hostility and oppo-
son of great portion of the wing press and nearly all the
wing party this war, and the it has been
Quoted by government and sustained and carried
by army the astonished at their want of
common and common discretion, say nothing of
patriotism Is it nothing, that, in defending ourselves
against the attacks of the Mexcans have goriousy
conquered them in every battle Is it nothing, that
have shown the whole world that transport
mics distance, and fight successfully in foreign lands
Is nothing, that have been able to show them
ton, scarcely century old having the elements of
mense military power and capable of defending ourselves
against the world in arms? Above all, is it nothing
show the triumph of republican principles carried
sustained by republican citizen soldiers?
