The following extract is from the Flag:
The SIEGE OF PuEBLa The late investment
of The American garrison al this place by the
Mexican army, furnishes another shining proof Of
the haToism OF our troops and The superiority oil
our people. The Pennsylvania battalion, under
Lieut. Col. S. w. Black numbering about 2CO
men, formed, ageeably 10 Gen. SCOTS order, "ihc
main body Of he garrison" There was large
MINER oil invalids IN The hospitals, but few OF them
were capable Of bearing arms in an emergency
requiring ioritude and physical strength as well
as courage. This measre force was surrounded
BY an enemy with an army, according 10 his own
accounts, Of eight thousand men, led by several
distinguished generals, and directed in chief by
Santa Anna. II was summoned 10 surrender on
honorable terms, and threatened with extermina-
lion il il refused Is gallant commander, Col.
Childs, heroically rejected the proposition and
San Jose, Lorello and Guadalupe rang with the
shouts OF exultaiion and defiance with which our
troops heard The summons Of The Zoe and The an
swcr OF their chief. The enemy attempted the
execution Of his threat, and was repulsed in eve
ry new effort, and al last, after 60-days siege,
was forced 10 abandon his positions and seek his
own safety in fight

eight thousand valiant Me1icans, led on by the
Napoleon of The South! Contrast The combat OF
Ills garrison with that OF Vera Cruz where The
position Of the cOmbaants was reversed. Our
force there was about len thousand men aiiogeth-
er, bat no, more than halt that number were ac-
lively engaged against The city. Alter lhree days
bcmbardmen,, the impTegnable castle Of San Ju-
an de Ulua and The walled city, with lis immense
armament and garrison Of 5000 regular sol
Giers, yielded 10 our arms! The difference in
the result of the TWO sieges was owing solely TO
The difference OF our positions in lhem-when we
were on the outside we got in, and when in We
remained there Until il pleased our fancy 10 come
out Cerro Gordo and New Orleans may be con-
lrased in The same way 10 prove the same point,
although the character Of our adversaries was
no, the same in both instances. At New Or
leans we won a victory behind breastwoiks

by small arms, against nearly three times cur
numbers. Al Ceuo GoTdo we achieved TIL
umph no less brilliant over our enemy, three
Times as strong as ourselves. no was enTenched

"Col BENToN's speech, on the Lieu

FIRST page. 1t is quite characteristic, and
the reader will see that the Colonel has
fairly swallowed the administration, and
is DESTROYS that every body should know it.
His speech has been styled defence of the
Enthusiastically we think the admins
tration can hardly feel gratifed at the
big-ToM. nd.liule-JM air the defence is de.
livered in.
Rumors from Washington assert that the
subject of Lieutenant General is to be
again brought forward, but whether with
a view still to appoint Col. Benton, we
know not. Col. Benton and the admins.
tration, it is said, are sorely grieved at the
failure of the project, and had they clearly
foreseen it, Gen. Scott would not have
been ordered to the seat of war. They
supposed by sending Scott out, less would
be heard of old. Trough and Ready" as
he would be communicating of all the
forces, and before he would be able to get
under Roadway, the Lieutenant General
would reach the seat of war and succeed
him in the command. and then there would
be no danger of Wing General getting
any credit for the success which may
crown our arms. 1t is therefore not to be
wondered at, that they are in bad humor.
Instead of having one Wing General in the
field, they now have two, and Congress
refuses 10 give Mr.. Polk his Lieutenant to
command them.
