Latest from the Capital.

We lay before readers very late and interesting
letter from the city of Mexico in the New York Sun. 1t
bears date on the 10th Sepemberperhaps ought to
have been printed the 18th Ii gives thrilling descrp
ton of the battles which took place stormng the pal
ace and the mill before entering the city The variations
in the mode of attack upon the city, and the violence of
the struggle and the losses which sustained beoethe
Mexicans surrendered their capital wildly described
and ii correct they change entirely the character of the
contest as it was represented in the letters which
received at Washington on Saturday night from Vera
Cruz No chivaIry in modern warfareno victory could
have been more brilliant than the achievements of our
brave countrymen in taking the capital of Mexico.
We are waiting with great anxiety for the official de-
tails We are inpatient to see the list of killed and
wounded; but must confess this Mexican letter con-
tributes to confirm our hopes about the escape Of Worth,
and Pillow, and Smith.
One fact stated by this Mexican will show the perfd-
ous character of the enemy with whom we have to con-
tend He conesscs that Santa Anna, under the impress
sion that the armstce would be broken, actually and
shamecssIy violated Thy introducing provisions and pow
der and ball into the palace of Chaputepec, covey and
seahily under cloaks and mules No fact can con-
vey stronger idea of the iahess character of this
principed man.
The New Orleans Bee "a wing ounaD speaks IN the true
spirit and with much sagacity when it says 1t is evil
dent from the propositions made by Santa Anna, that ne
was nsncere in his professions OF desire Tor pacific
settlement They so preposterous-so barefaced In
their audacty-tha one mis- ht have imagined the posi-
ton of the two armies reversed and that the Meyicans
were stating what they were willing in their enity and
forbearance grant to PROSTATE and beaten Toe We
must either suppose the Mexicans utterly demented OF
believe that they sought, in the acceptance of arms
tee, nought but a scurvy preext for gaining time The
event iustifes the latter conclusion The Mexicans
never expected peace-and did not want it, except upon
terms of their own dictation, and which they know we
could not for moment entertain. Yet they had been
too recently worsed and still smang too severely
from their encounters with arms, not to be aware OF
the probable issue of another conflict. knowing this
they yet prepared for war; and were content to abide It's
arbitrament"
