We regret to learn by letters received in
this place, that very large number of our
Regiment were OH the sick list, at the latest
dates, with measels and diarrhea, and that
the mortality had been considerable The
Regiment with Gen. QUIrMAN's Brigade,
was to have taken up the line of march for
Jalapa, on the 10th .ult. From the same
source, we learn also, that Lieut.. Roberts,
Col. Tilman, DR.. Agnew, w E. Watson,
w Middleton and J. Martin, have been
discharged, and are on their way home, the
latter was appointed a Lieutenant in one of

were then filled up with fragments Of stone
and mortar are now cleared Of rubbish,
and nothing is left to tell Of the destruction
the city sustained, but the broken doors and
windows, and few of the houses in the vi
cinity Of the gate Of mercy. The natives
themselves seem to have undergone u
change also, and no doubt have, from being
freed from the presence Of their own army,
who daily levied contributions from them !;
they have the protecting army of our own
General, who suffers no wrong TO be com
mtted without awarding severe punishment

them, and our prayer is, that the difference
between the two governments may become
so apparent to them-the preponderence
always being on our side-that emulated
by our course, they may shortly establish
for themselves a government upon our own
liberal principles. Like those of Tamauli
pas and Nueva Leon, they are better off

our troops than they ever were before

The Chances of Peace.

We saw private letter say the NJ o.
Pacayune, from very intelligent officer at
Vera Cruz, dated the 10th uIt. in which he
says that several Of the States of the Mexi-
can conederacy have denounced the war
with the United States, and threatened to
seccde unless peace should be made. MANY
Mexicans predicted peace within six,y
days, but our correspondent puts little faith
in uuguries so favorable. He thinks the
great difficulty in the way Of peace is the
fact that SANTA ANNA is so nearly crushed
that he dare not make a treaty. Nor does
there appear to be any one else in Mexico
strong enough to incur the great RESPONSE
bility. None of the old politicians will VEN
ture upon the step. Our correspondent adds:
"Some man now unknown to fame. with
nothing to lose and every thing to gain, may
arise and advocate peace policy successful
ly. His want of ambition or the little
chance Of his obtaininng power may pre-
vent him from becoming obnoxious to the
jealousies of parties, and gain for him adhe-
rents generally. He may succeed in ma.
king peace which every body will be glad
of; but how long before it will be used as
an elemen, of political war-hre2"
The Legislature of the State of Vera
Cruz, sitting at Jalapa, was said to be de-
llbera,ing at last accounts upon the proprie-
ty OF making peace, independent of the
General Government.
The State of Zacetecas has declared it.

NAV Day.

The first of May was celebrated at this
place by the young Ladies of the Female
Academy in very elegant style. Miss
Rosa WARDLAw, was crowned Queen upon
the occasion, and performed her part with
much grace and dignity; in fact all who
took parts in the coronation acquitted thcm-
selves handsomely. 1t was a most lovely
sight to look upon these little crcatures,dres-
scd in white, with wreaths Of flowers about
their heads, and JOY and gladncss bcaming
in their faces, as they emerged in groups
from the grove and march to the stand crcc-
ted for the occasion, looking like slvan
nymphs. Rarely have we an opportunity of
seeing such a galaxy of loveliness and beau
ty-" earth treading stars"-and all so
young, so full Of life and vivacity-may life
ever be to them one constant May day, and
the sweet flowers Of lovcliness and virtue
bloom perpetually around them.
We regret that we have not time to no.
ticc the proceedings of this joyous occasion
more at length, and hoped that some of our
young friends who were spectators would
have prepared the proceedings for us.

From the ARMY.

We have given on the first page of this
weeks paper, all the news of importance
received from Mexico. Itwas thought that
a battle had been fought OH the 18th ult., at
place called Ccrro Gordo, very strong
pass about fortjI-four miles from Vera Cruz.
SANTA ANNA was reported to have taken a
stand there with some $4,000 troops resolv-
ed to resist the progress of the American
army into the interior. Another rrlmor was
current at Vera Cruz, that SANTA ANNA
and his Cabinet were at Jalapa, with con-
siderable army, prepared to decide the ques.
tion OF war or peace by battle or negotia-
ton. These rumors want confirmation, and
we presume may be set down as run1ors
alone. General TAYLOR, was at the latest
dates at Monterey: his men wounded at the
battle of Buena Vista, were doing we'll.
Some fears were entertained by many, that
he would be left in rather perilous situa-
tion whom the volunteers whose time of ser.
vice has nearly expired, were disbanded !;
but we perceive the troops under the Ten
Regiment Bill are being raised rapidly, and
over four thousand are now on their way to
join his ranks.

ACH1LLE MURAT.-Thc Tallahas

ACn1LLE MURAT.-Thc Tallahassee pa
pers announce the death of Prince Charles
Louis Napoleon Achille Murat, son of Joa-
chin and Caroline Bonapartc Murat, King
and Queen of Naples, and aged 46 years,
two months and 25 days. His father was
the celebrated Marshal of Napoleon, and
his mother sister Of the late Emperor.
The Prince died OH the 18th inst at his
residence in Jefferson County Florida.
OF him the Floran remarks -" After
the expulsion of his family from Italy, they
resided in Austria, where Prince Murat
lived until the year 1921, when he came to
the United States. He has ever since, with
the exception of an occasional visit to Eu-
rope, resided in this county. His life here
has been quiet and manifestations.
"The deceased was a. man Of great &C.
centricity of character, was gifted with
high order of mind, which was enriched by
solid literary requirements and was withal
most interesting and agreeable compan-
ion. He was the author of some works on
the subject of our Institutions, which, we un-
derstand, it is said possesses considerable
merit. Hereafter we hope to lay before the
public an extended notice of his life and
character, which, we understand, will be
prepared by some friend familiar with both.
''He was buried in this city to-day. A
numerous procession of friends and citizens
attended his remains from the house of Col.
Robert Gamble to his grave. Minute guns
were fired during the morning, and he was
buried in compliance with his own request,
with the imposing ceremony of the Masonic
Order. There was every demonstration of
high respect for his memory, and his friends
will be gratifed to learn that there was man
ifested due appreciation of his worth and
interesting career. Thus has gone one
born to the highest rank in European life,
aud fitted in mind and attainments for very
distinguished honors."

his pistol, lancer as he approached him.
While engaged in reloading, another lancer
trotted past him and raised his lance to
drive it into wounded lieutenant, few
feet from him. Before The weapon was
hurled, however, Langford threw; his pistol
and struck the lancer stunning blow ON
the nape Of the neck. This action saved
the lieutenant, bu. proved fatal to the mag

Mexican turned and drove his lance into
