CITY OF WASHINGTON.
SATURDAY NIGHT, MAY 8, Is47.
The illumination OF washington.

This day, the anniversary OF the battle of Pao Alto
the first in the series of brilliant victories which have
covered the country with glory, selected for the pur-
pose OF paying heartfelt tribute the honor OF the vctors
who have led our armies to the field and to the glory
OF our arms AT early hour in the day the flag OF the
United States displayed over both wings of the Capt.
tol, at the navyyad, and arsenal and ships of war;
and at many OF the public buildings of the city. Near
Fullers hotel an inscription was thrown Pennsyl-
vania avenue; "Our eounrymay she ai'coys be right;
but right wrong, our country" 1t this spirit
which seemed to animate all the citizens of the Merop-
oils. AT ~ O'Clock salute fired in the avenue just
opposite to the Presidents House AT sunset sautes
were fired in more than one part of the city.
The Presidents mansion brilliantly Illuminated
II had most imposing appearance. 1t was considered
best to illuminate the Offices of the public departments
because they contain the valuable records of the govern
ment, and most of them re-proof and it was not
considered proper to make any discrimination between
them But all the private residences of the members of
the cabinet handsomely illuminated. The Obser-
vaory OF the striking and beautiful objects
we have during the evening We have no time for
particulars tonight We have only time TO notice the
lisbed with variety OF tansparences, descriptive of the
victories OF Taylor, and Scott, &c. &c,
Among the private residences brilliantly Illuminated
was that of Senator Benton, ON G street From
the centre window was displayed a transparency,
with the inscription ''Sdna Fe chihuahua and Tie Ms
sowians, commemorative of the glorious victories
achieved mainly by the gallant volunteers of the State
which Col B. represents. On either side transpar-
encies inscribed "Bueno Vista and 'Cerro Gordo -
From the upper windows foaed two national flags one
e.,
of them the flag carried by Col Fremont i'll his second
expedition through the western prares, Oregon, and CAL
forna the other, the first and only flag that waved
from the lofesi peak OF the Rocky mountains and taken
there by Col. Fremont, August Is, 1912.
There was brilliant display OF fireworks at the navy
yard and sky rockets and bon-fes CLEANED from va
rous points of the CITY, All triumph and Joy The
news of the splendid battle of Cero Gordo came ex-
actIy in time to swell the public feeling to the highest

Hon RICHARD RusH.--We have seen, with pleasure,
that the friends Of this gentleman in Philadelphia intend
aory to leaving his native State, and the American
public as minister penpoentary to the court OF France
We cannot help expressing our happiness IN al the
Quarter of century he has been unwaverng personal
friend and we were taught by our own revolutionary
sire to respect and venerae the republican name OF Rich
ard Rush.
Some time ago we it suggested, in Philadelphia
paper that national ship should be sent round to Phila-
deipha to convey the American minister, Mr. Rush, to
ever when we saw it, and thought that our friend Rich
ard Rush would communicate nationality to any ship,
great or small, that might bear him from his native
shores.

Hattie OF Cerro Gordo.

The southern mail of this evening brings us further
accounts of this important battle in the columns of the
''Deta" and the "Picayune" We lay them before oul
readers in all their amplitude of details. We lay
nothing before Them sure, which can excite SC
profound interest Every fresh account seems to
hbt the skill OF Gen. Scott and his officers, and the I'M
dauned valor Of the troops. Regulars and volunteers
are equally distinguished for their achevements-ioI
their devotion to their counry--fer their willingness tc
pour out their blood for her honor and rights
The loss of their precious lives is ncacuable. We
fear have to number among those who have poured
their blood and sacrificed their lives for their coun-
try, General Shields. nober and Drawer spirit does

Influence upon the destiny of Santa Anna No one has
boosted more than he. His arrogance and rhodomon-
ade have exceeded the usual standard of Mexican
travagance No one could have performed less in pro-

pledged his life in their service He repeated his adra-
ton perish than yield He tells them that it is
the last time he may Them and yet according to the
accounts have received, he flew prematurey and in
panic from the field where he had pledged himself to
perish.
He may be able to resist the storm which is beating
upon him. but suppose him to have lost the confidence of
his country Suppose that, no longer able to hold the
eins OF the government he resigns the dictatorship,
superseded in his office, who will succeed him. ii Mexi

treaty be made it must be submitted to the Congress for
its ratification The present convention is, believe,

the war; and we take for granted of concluding peace
Whether the war be continued, or peace be made, is
one of those problems which it scarcely falls to the sa
