MR. EDlToR:-Feeling strong interest
In the prosperity Of our County, it is with
much regret | have witnessed the surpriz.
ing apathy manifested in relation to the
most important subject of pecuniary ma.
ture, ever presented to the citizens of this
section of the State. / allude to the pro.
Jected plan Of Rail Road from Pittsburgh
to Cleveland. l would ask the business
men of this, and the adjoining Counties
along the proposed route, "What are you
DONG to secure so great and valuable an
object! Will you continue to fold your
hands and quietly look on and see your
neighbors on a more southern route, snatch
from you prize of incalculsble value?''
Fellow.C Citizens-a Rail Road will be con.
structed from Pittsburgh west through this
State and now is the time for you to deter
mine whether it shall pass through this, OF
a more southern tier of counties. Will
Cleveland suffer small and now, unimport.
ant villages, to more than rival her, from
the facilities such an improvement would
afford them? Certainly not if she consults
her own interest. Already a plan is de.
vlsed and will soon be accomplished of uni.
ting the great Southern N. Y. Road with
this, at Pittsburg, making this the grand
thoroughfare from the Atlantic cities to
the far West and ultimately to Oregon

The Battle commenced on the 17th OF
April, with the advance of Gen. Twiggs.
A very severe engagement ensued. The
next day Gen. Scott came up, and the main
battle was renewed. The fighting was
bloody and desperate, but the Mexicans
were completely routed. Santa Anna es-

yards distant planted on high elevation.
commanding the retreat of the foe. and
threatening destruction to the pursuers.
Maj. Clarke dismounted oneo of their pieces.
silenced their battery, and took possession
Of the height, which the enemy abandoned.
In this attack he captured two nine.poun.
ders, seven four-pounders, one six-pounder.
two carriages mounted with three small
pieces, and large quantity Of ammunition.
The entire camp equipage of the enemy,
provisions, baggage, &C., and specie to the
amount Of 81, 600 or $4,000 were taken,
also.
Col. Owens was OF the head Of the team
sters and in advance of our line, when he
fell. He was acting as major Of a volun-
teer battalion Of traders, wagoners, &c.
Our whole force in this action was 924,
the enemy numbered 1928. veg
On the next day, detachment ofArtil.
lery under Capt. Weightman, and Of noun
ted men under Capts. Rice and Parsons,
entered the city. On the I'd the main body
of our army took complete, possession of
chihuahua. Col. Doniphan issued proc.
lamation in Spanish, promising protection
to all the non-combatants.
When Mr.. Sublette left Santa Fe (on
THE 26th ult. all was quiet there. A depu.
tation of Navagoes had come in, desiring
to make treaty with Col, Price. Heprons.
ised to do so on condition of their restoring
the cattle, mules, &C., they had stolen
from the Spaniads. That they were un-
willing to do. They were willing to stip.
ulate friendship with the Americans, but
wished to be at liberty to plunder the Mex
leans. As Gen. Kearney had promised
protection to the Mexican citizens, Col.
Price insisted upon treaty covering all
residents in New Mexico. The negotia.
ton it is thought, will not succeed. Col. Price
will, if it should fail, order another expedi-
ton into the Navago country.
Geo. Bent was at Taos, where two com.
panies were stationed. Two companies
are stationed in Moro valley, and others at
various points. Apprehensions were felt,
in case Of the failure of the chihuahua OK.
pedition, of a general insurrection. That
such was the design. is obvious from the
Chihuahua papers we have received.
Gen. Kearney was expected to return to
Santa Fe, early in April.
Mr.. Sublette brought official dispatches
from Col. Price. The dispatches from
Doniphan will arrive in about ten days. /,

PHILADELPHIA, May 9, ls47. !
81 o'clock, P. M. {
We have news tonight from Mexico,
which goes to show that another revolution
had taken place amongst that restless peo-
pie.
Senor Armijo has been elected President
of Mexico over General Almonte.
The Office Of Vice President has been
abolished. This was done for the purpose
of overthrowing Farias.
The Mexicans were busily engaged in
fortifying the Capital, in anticipation of an
attack.
Armijo is very hostile towards the A.
mericans, and breathes war to the very
knife. He is considered popular with his
people.
The guerilla mode Of warfare is recon-
mended by some.
1t was rumored here to-day that Santa
Anna was captured, but this needs conir-
nation.
Letters from the Brazos have been re.
ceived at New Orleans. They contain no
