THE VOLUNTEERS IN MEXICO.

From all that we can learn the Washington
"Union" will be grevouslr disappointed in respect
to the renewal of their engagements by many of
the volunteers, whose tern of service is about to
expire 1t is not supposed here that single regi-
ment can be formed out IF all the twelve months
men now in Mexico. The volunteers who won the
glorious battle of Buent Vista are on their way
home. One of the Kentucky regiments is already
at the Brazos. Col. Jefferson Davis's regiment
will soon be there and the Illinois and Indna troops
will follow. We leafn from officers and men that
there is no disposition to re-enlist The accounts
from General Scott'Scolumn are no more satsfacto-
ry. The determination to return home, as soon as
their enlistments expire, is universal. The officers
are as little DESTROYS as the men of remaining in
the service; SO thai the whole of Gen. Taylor's
Buena Vista army, with the exception of few
regulars, and large portion of Gen. SCOTS, will
shortly leave the FIELD.
The reason for his universal desire to quit the
service has been explained to us. The men of
Monterey and Bena Vista assert, and with good
reason, that tbeEaures that have been won by them
have been garneed by the Government to decorate
other brows. ghey say, and with truth, that no
Vaior, no sacrbe no victories of theirs, ensure
their promotes or protect them against being over.
slaughed by Inexperienced officers, and subject to
the commanf of political appointees. They point
to the misersole remnants Of regiments which they
led 10 the amy with wellfilled ranks and swelling
aspirations jim token of the hardships they have
suffered a9i the perls they have encountered, and
then referho the army register to see how such ser
vices are rewarded. They feel that the qualities
which they have exhibited in front Of blazing bat
teries ah not the which ensure rank, and they
retire y give place to those who possess them.
The second Kentucky regiment will return with
out IT'S colonel or lieutenant colonel the first Mis-
slssnpl will bring home its colonel and lieutenant
colonel upon litters the Illinois troops leave the
gallant Hardin where he fell and Col. Yell comes
babk no more at the head of the men from Arkan-
sss. These noble regiments have melted away I'M
Ger the seventies of a campaign in which, il they
nave not won the lasting gratitude Of their coun-
trymen, they have won nothing.

THURSDAY, MAY, Is, Is47.

&C. 1t becomes our painful duty to record the
death of Mr.. JACOB LONG, one Of the Augusta yo-
lunteers, who died, of darrhua, at Monterey. ON
the 18th of March, after an illness of lS days.
We feel that nc needs no eulogy from us, for what
higher tribute to his memory than the fact, that
he was son of Old Augusta, one of her gal
liant Volunteers, and died in the service of his coun
try. On the same day of his death he was buried
IN land of strangers; and could the peal Of mus
kerry, fired by his noble comrades over his untime-
ly grave, have been echoed in the mountains of
Augusta, it would have been answered by the sigh
OF sorrow and the sympathzing tear of their breth-
rem at home. Peace be to his ashes, and undis-
turbed repose to the grave where tho soldier sleeps

DREADFUL HORRORS OF WAR.

In the hospitals Of wilma, there Were above H.
COO dead and dying, frozen and freezing. The boz
dies of the former, broken up, served to stop tho
cavities in windows, floors and walls; but in one
OF the passages Of the Great Convent, above 500
bodies were piled up transversey, like pigs of lead
or iron. When these were finally removed ON
sedges to be buried, the most extraordinary figures
Were presented in the variety Of their attitudes
for none seemed to have been frozen in a composed
state; each was fixed in the last action of his life
IN the last direction given to his limbs; even the
eyes retained the last expression, either Of anger,
pain or entreaty. In the roads, men were gathered
around the burning ruins of cottages which mad
spirit OF destruction had fired, picking and eating
the burnt bodies Of their fellow men while thou
sands Of horses were moaning in agony, with their
flesh manged and hacked, to satisfy the cravings Of
hunger that knew no pity. In many of the sheds
men scarcely alive had heaped upon their frozen
bodies, human caicasses, which festered by the
communication of animal heat, and mingled the dy-
ing and the dead in one mass of putrefacfion Such
were some of the calamties which followed the re-
treat of the French army from Moscow and this
is but faint picture of the horrors of war-Sir r.
Wilson.

THE BATTLE OF SACRAMENTO.

| The Government has just received and publish
ed the official account of the Battle of Sacramento
in the Mexican State of Chihuahua, of the results
of which we have been previously informed through
Mexican sources We therefore copy only so
much of Col. Doniphan's despatch as states the
number Of the forces engaged and the losses sustain
ed by each army, as follows:
'"The force Of the enemy was 200 cavalry from
durango and Chihuahua, with the Vera Cruz dra-
goons, .2OO Infantry from chihuahua, 800 artillc-
rlsts, and APO Iancheros badly armed with lassos
lances, and machetoes or corn knives ten pieces of
artillery, two nine, two eight, four six, and two
four FOUNDERS and six culverins or rampant pieces.
Their forces were commanded by Major General
Heredla, General Of Durango, chihuahua, Sonora
and New Mexico; Brgadier General Jastmani,
Brgadier General Garcia Condo, formerly Minister
OF War for the Republic Of Mexico, who is scien-
tlic man, and planned this whole field of defence
General Uguerte and Governor Tras, who acted
as Brlgadier General on the field and Colonels and
other officers without number.
"Our force was nine hundred and twenty-four
effective men, at least one hundred of whom were
engaged in holding horses and driving teams.
"The loss of the enemy was his entire artillery,
ten wagons, masses of beans and pinoa, and other
Mexican provisions, about three hundred killed and
about the same number wounded, many of whom
have since died, and forty prisoners.
"The field was literally covered with the dead
and wounded from our artillery and the unerring
fire of our rifemen. Night put stop to the car
mage, the battle having commenced about three o.
clock. Our loss was one killed, one morta'ly
wounded and seven so wounded as to recover with
out any loss Of limbs. | cannot speak TOO highly
of the coolness, gallantry, and bravery Of the Off
GERS and men under my command.
81 was ably sustained by the field officers, Lieut..
Colone!s Mitchell and jackson, of the first battal-
ion, and Major Gilpin, of the second battalion and
Major Clark and his artillery acted noby, and did
the most effective service in every part of the field
1t is abundantiy shown, in the charge made by
Captain Weightman with the section Of howitzers,
that they be used in any charge of cavalry with
great effect. Much has been said, and Justly said,
OF the galantry Of our artillery, Numbering with
in two hundred and fifty yards Of the enemy at
Palo Alto; but how much more daring was the
charge Of Capt. Weightmao, when he uulimbered
within fifty yards of the redoubts of the enemy!
"On the LIST day of March we took formal pos
session Of the capital Of chihuahua in the name Of
our Government"

by-path is strewn with the dead. Had our dra-
goons been enabled to reach them in season, all
would have been killed or captured-Santa Anna
among them. Canalizo, with his noted lancers,
had the prudence to 'vamos" early.
Even up to this time it is impossible to give any
thing like full or correct list Of our wounded OIL
,ceIs-it is surprising that many Of them were not
killed.
Lieut.. Derby, gallant young officer Of the topo-
graphical engineers, was badly but not MORALLY
wounded while storming one OF the heights. 1t.
Ewell, of the rifles, is supposed to be MORALLY
wounded. This regiment has suffered terribly.
Lieut.. Dana, of the 9TH Infantry was badly wound
ed Capt. Patten, Of the End, slightly. Lieut.
Davis, Of the rifles, was very badly wounded in
the hip. Maj. Sumner, of the Sd Dragons, but
commanding rifles, is improving.
The list Of killed and wounded officers i'm Col
Haskell's command yesterday have been able to
obtain. 1t should be here stated that Capt. Will
liams' company Of Kentucky and Capt Charles
MAYORS company of Pennsylvania volunteers were
attached temporarily to this regiment Here is
the list:

severely; LIST Lient. VIM. Yearwood, MORALLY !;
I'd Lieut.. James Forrest, slightly; Capt A. Fl.
Murray, severely; I'd Lieut.. Geo. Il. Switzerland,
Kentucky volunteers, severely. The regiment,
when in action, numbered less than 400 men, and
its loss was 70 in killed and wounded.
La Vega was in command of the Cerro Gordo
on the first day of the fight, but deserter from our
dragons, German, going into their camp at night
and informing them that the main attack was to
be on the right Of their line-the work so fercely at
tackled by Gen. Plow-he changed places with
Gen. Vasquez. The latter, as have already sta
ted, was killed-La Vega defended his post until
the lines of the enemy were completely turned
Several Mexican Colonels have been killed bu,
their names have been unable 70 learn. bro
Their of Gen. La. Vega, Colonel of artillery, was
severely, and, as is supposed, MORALLY wounded
As soon as it shall be known that the enemy's
works have been carried, or that the general pur
suit has commenced, one wagon for each regimen
and one for the cavalry, will follow the movement
to receive, under the directions of medical officers
the wounded and disabled, who will be brough
back to this place for treatment in general hospital
The Surgeon General will organize this import
ant service and designate that hospital, as well a.
the medical officers TO be left at it.
Every man who marches out to attack or pursue
!, the enemy, will take the usual allowance of ammu
, milton, and subsistence for at least two days.

List OF Mexican officers captured at Cerro Gordo,
on the 18th of April, who have given their pa

The above prisoners, under the charge of Capt
George w. Hughes, Corps Of Typographical Engi-
neers, arrived at Vera Cruz on the 2lst instant,
about one hour previous the departure of the

1t has been left to their election by Gen. Scott
whether they should remain close prisoners in the
castle Of San Juan de Ulua or proceed to New Or
leans, where they should be allowed such personal
liberty as their condition and conduct might seem
TO require of the commandant of that post. 1t is
understood that all of the foregoing captured off
GERS have expressed desire to be transferred TO
the United States, and that Col Wilson, Governor
Of Vera Cruz, had acceded to their wishes, and
had directed that vessel should be held in readi-
ness to sail, for their accommodation, about the
25h Of April.

1J-The latest new, from Mexico is that the en-
emy's loss in the battle Cerro Gprdo, in killed and
wounded, is about equal to our own Some of the
Mexican officers attribute the defeat to the cow
ardice Of Santa Apna-he had 5000 men in line,
and 5000 outside of the entertainments. Some of
the brave Meycans that fought at Buena Vista
were also in the fight at Ceub Gordo, and several
officers released by Gen. Scot at Vera Cruz, with
out parole, were found among the killed and wound
ed after the fight.
Advices from the city of Mexico state that the
inaugural of Amaoa (Presidehts substtute) and adj
dresses Of Santa Anna to constituents and Congress
are given, disclosing his viets relative to the war
which exclude al! idea of p ace. A guerilla war
on our posts is advised by diding members Of con-
gress.

LIEUT.. HUNTER.

The arrest of this officer, for simply capturing
Alvarado with one vessel, is thus hit Off by the
Trenton News:
ga gentleman, on hearing of this affair at Alva-
RADIO, was reminded of the story of the English pr
vate soldier in British India who being drunk one
night, rushed from his tent, with weapon In his
hand, scaled the walls of a native fort the Eng
4sh were beslegiDg, and made such hideous shout
ing, that the poor HindooS thought whole army
was upon them, and surrendered at discretion. The
British commander, although he did not refuse to
receive the fort which had been taken SO disodery,
put the soldier under arrest and court martialed
MN. !he poor private was sadly puzzled to IN
derstand why soldier should be punished for do
ing too well and exclaimed in much vexation,
well, since you make such fuss about it,, III take
no more forts for You''
