Authentic Accounts Received.


Mr.. Kcndalrs letters from the city OF Mexico,
and others from authentic sources, giving an &C
count of the engagements at the Mills del Key
and Charutepec, and the subsequent occupation
of the city By Gen. Scott and his troops, have
at last been received; and though our space will
not admit Of our copying all of them, we have
cneayored TO lay before our readers the most in
,ercsting portions. There is no need for us to
prepare summary of the news; all that VIC have
copied will doubtless he read with the deepest
interest, and will be considered sufficiently COLI
densed.
We arc grieved to learn that our loss in killed,
wounded and missing, in these engagements, Is
as great as was stated in the first reports which
reached us. The following is the general total:
|. Gen. Worth's Division-l40 killed, 766
wounded, 81 missing; Total 933.
=. Gen. Twigg's Division - Sc killed, lsi
wounded, 10 missing; Total $40.

Washington correspondent, of the Phila-
telIhia Ledger SAYS: The adminisira-
ton will not call out more than one regi-
met, and that from Michigan, which will
male the $4,000 authorized by Congress
complete. The President, however, will
undoubtedly ask for more troops "a soon
as congress meets, and that for a good
rou,d number. lie ought not TO demand
lessshan an additional $4,000 men. BE-
yoI the regiment just mentioned, think
the administration will not venture in their
imre dia,e preparation for taking perma.
men possession Of as much territory as
wilfompensate us for the war, and in-
IDENTITY our citizens; all other measures
willb submitted TO Congress"

LEGISLATTRE-

1t is really too bad that the mail from Raj
eigh should fail at a time when we are so anX-
ous to know what is going on there, but such
is the case We have received no papers from
that place since Saturday last. What is the
matter? From such means as are in our pow
er, we make up the following summary of the
proceedings of the Legislature since our last
report.
Last week was one of the most exciting
ones which has occurred since the commence
ment of the session. The preamble and reso-
luton from the Senate appropriatingy $4,000
for the use of the Volunteers, was taken up
in the House on Thursday last, and debated
until Saturday night, without coming to any
final action. Our readers are aware that the
preamble asserts that the war was caused " by,
the action of the Executive." This every
Democrat knows to be false-but the Federal
lists have a majority, and it seems that they
are determined to make the Democrats either
vote against the appropriation or vote for this
"Hc" During the debate several attempts
were made to amend the preamble, as we'll as
to divide the question:, but all in vain The
Federal ma ority are inexorable, and we sup
pose that, ere this, the resolution has passed
in its obnoxious form, under the solemn pro-
test, however of the Democratic members, a.
gainst the preamble.
On the 4th inst, in the Senate, the bill au-
thorizing the Commissioners of the town of
Wilmington to borrow 100000, passed its
third reading OF its fate in the House we are
not yet advised.
The bill to re-organize the Raleigh & Gas
ton Rail Road was taken up in the Senate on
Saturday last and read the second time. The
bill to authorize the Petersburg Rail Road
Company to increase its capital stock and sub
scribe 100000 in the Rail Roads of this
State, passed its third reading in the Senate on
Friday last.
At last accounts in our possession, the bill
for the appointment of the Field Officers for
the Regiment OF Volunteers had not been &C
ted upon. We very much regret the failure
of our papers from Raleigh, but we cannot
! help it.

SMITHSON.

Our readers will notice that a good deal has
been said recently in the papers, particularly
during the last session of the present Congress,
about the Smithsonian Institute, and about the
appointment of Regents for the proper dis
position of the Smithsonian fund, &c. Some
of them, however, may not know exactly
who Smithson was, or what this fund is, about
which so much has been said. We will in
form them in few words JAMES SM1THsoN,
who bequeathed this. large fund to the United
States, was an English subject, who was born
in England, and lived there all his life time
He was connected with some of the most no.
BILE and aristocratic families in the Empire
He had never visited the United States, but
such was his ardent admiration of our institu-
tons, that he left his large property, amount
ing to upwards of two millions and a quarter
of dollars, for the purpose of founding an in
stituton to be called the " Smithsonian Insti-
tute,' at the City of Washington, for the diff
fusion of useful knowledge amongst men, In
the year 1886, the United States came in pos
session of this large sum, and it was only al
the last session of Congress, that any steps
were taken to carry out the intentions of the
liberal donor

FROM MEXICO

Most of our readers are aware that the
Mexican Congress was to convene at the City
of Mexico. on the 5th of the last month, and
that good deal of anxiety and interest was
entertained s. expressed, to know what course
that august % body would pursue with re-
gard 10 the existing war, and the overtures of
peace which haye been made by our Govern
ment. The recent intelligence from that quar-
ter, is rather contradictory. A letter publish
ed in the n. o. Picayune of the Sd inst, says
that the writer has dates from the City of
Mexico I'D to the 10th of December; and that
the Mexican Congress had decided against
peace, and for the continuance OF the war
whilst the foot of an American soldier was
found upon the soil of the republic. Another
account, in the same paper, of later date
would seem to indicate that the Mexican Con-
gress was inclined to peace. That body had
organized and appointed its various Commit
tees The men appointed on the various
Committees are known to be disposed to peace.
For instance, exPresident Herrera is Chair
man OF the Committee on War and the Navy
and Reion is Chairman of the Committee on
Foreign Relations. Both of these men are
known to be disposed TO peace measures. In
the course of few days, we will hear some
thing definite
