The Capture Of Mcrico.--Our. paper
This morning contains further particulars
Of the interesting events connected win
the taking of Mexico. Our arms have
achieved, next TO peace itself. the grand
consummation Of this glorious war. They
have taken possession Of The renowned
cariioI of the enemy, aud planted the stars
and stripes above the national palace.
This has been achieved brilliantly, slo
riousIy, but at a severe sacrifice oil llie and
suffering.
Besides the loss Of the gallant Col. Nc
Intosh aud Major Levi Twisss, oil the
Marines, now numbered with the dead,
we regret to see iu the list Of severely
wounded, Captain VIM. Henry Walker,
Of The 9Th infantry, another noble son OF
Georgia. He is native Of this city, and
had won an honorable name Tor himself III
Florida, where under The gallant vele ran,
Gen. Zachary Taylor, in The bloodlest bat
lie of The Seminole war, he fell pierced ny

Georgia has beeu nobly represented in
the bloody vale of the Mexican capitol
where such proligics of valor have beer
displayed, and she has purchased her share
of The honors, al the price Of as chlvalrIt
blood, as any Stale can boast.
We are panied to see how dreadful tht
gallant remnant of The gallant Pameltt
Regiment has suffered. That noble ant
afflicted Stale, has the warm sympathy o
her neighboriug sister, Georgia, in this he
hour of bereavement.
