Orr THE BALIzE, April I'd.
have heard Colonel Totten say that he has never
seen such superb gun practice as was displayed by
the Mexicans. They were obliged to surrender for
the want of provisions the soldiers not having an
ounce of food left either in the city castle of Vera
Cruz, and to save their beautiful town from utter
destruction, it being completely commanded by the
high ground in the occupied by our troops.

ARREsrED.-Lt. Joshua Moore, of the Indiana Vol
uncers postscript to letter to DIR. Brickett OF
this city, says
"One half of the officers in the Indiana battalion
are arrested-Col Bowles among the rest.'
If this be true, and have no reason to doubt it,
the truth in relation TO the alleged cowardice of a
portion of the Indiana brigade, will be made the sub
ject of thorough investigation. This is all we ask.
If any cowardly, let the stigma be fixed upon
them. In this way only can praise or censure be
justly apportioned.

The people of Geauga county, in convef,ion az
Chardon, few days since; nominated the Hon. Thos.

eastern papers, the Phila T. S. Gazette of the num-

We admire Gen. Taylor soldier and patriot,
but we deprecate the in which have been most
improvidentiay plunged for the rety reason among

representative republics into concentrated, military

OK THE TRAcK.-The Boston papers announce me
departure of MIR: Webster a tour through the
southern and western States. This movement is un-
questionably with view of exhibiting HIMSELF for
the purpose of enabling the people to become acquant

intimate knowledge Of the peculiar institutions OF the
south. as is alleged Edward Curtis, well known
skilful political swire-puer,' is TO accompany him.
No doubt the moves will be made with the most skill
of which the natife of the case admits: Thete is one
particular in which Mr. Webster excels most men in
his qualifications for an itnerant politician and that
IS in having about him adapted 10 every meri

home more perfectly equipped for supplying Tire wants o.
every variety OF customers. than does Mr.. Webster.
