The following important iniormatior
was received by telegraph for the Bal
timore Sun, from fredericksburg, Va.
The mail is in from the South, bring.
ing New Orleans papers Of the a9lh and
30th uit., and great news from Mexico.
An extra from the Richmond Repub-
Iican brings accounts that great battle
was Tough, at Cerro Gordo, between
Gen Scott and Santa Anna. The &C.
counts are received from New Orleans.
The conflict commenced by the ad-
vance under Gen. Twiggs. and a severe
though not decisive contest took place.
The great fight occurred on the 18th
Of April, when the Mexicans were com
plelely routed. Shields went to the
support Of TwIggs, with the Wabash
and illinois regiments.
A letter from Mr.. Kendall, of the
Picayune, who was just from the scene
OF conflict, says the battle was most
bloody one.
Major Sunaer was shot IN the head
by musket ball, but it is thought will
recover.
The American army was entirely
victorious, though not without severe
losses of valuable lives. Gen. Shields
was nortaiiy wounded; Gen. Pillow
slightly; Capt Mason, Of the rifles, lost
u leg; Lieut.. Ewell, badly wounded;
Lieut.. Mcl.ane, also wounded, but not
seriously; also, Pierson, of the 4th.
Too much praise cannot be bestow-
ed on Cojonels Baker, Childs, Harney,
Rely, Foreman, Hascail all praise
them.
Santa Anna just escaped being cap
tured. He got off on the saddle mule
of his team, and took to the chappareI.
And his valuable personal effects, in
cudng his plate and money, were tax.
en-. His wooden leg was also taken;
and the dinner prepared for him, was
left in haste.
Lieutenats Gibbs, Maury and Kervis
were wounded. Capt. Palter, slightly
wounded; Lieut.. Davis badly.
Gen. Vega behaved nobiy, as is his
wont; but is again taken prisoner
His brother, a Colonel, is mortally
wounded.
Santa Annals coach was taken, and
has been appropriated to the use of
Major Sumner.
There were enough Mexican Gene
rails and Colonels taken to command an
abstract army.
All the captured are to be sent to the
United States, by their own request.
All the Mexican munitions of war
were taken, and about 5000 prisoners. |
Thea has taken up its march for
the city of. Mexico, under the command
of Gen. Worth.
There are accounts from Monterey
to the 4th Of April. The Mexican
General had encountered a baggage |
train, under an escort of Lieut.. Bar
bour. The lancers charged upon the
wagoners without mercy--cut out their
hearts and dug out their eyes, leaving
their bodies most horribly mutilated.

From NIexicO.

We have no news from the Army Of
any consequence. There has been Sc.
we're earthquake and the City of Ocotlan
was entirely destroyed. Not house
was left standing aud nearly all the iD-
habi,anls were buried in the ruins. This
was on the Sd October.
Santa Annals whereabout is uncertain.
We see il stated in some paper that he
claims that his movements were all in ac-
cordance with the wishes of the Central
tiovenment, and upon this ground he in
tends to defend himselfagainst the charge
ofTreason.
The celebrated guerrilla chief, Ca
males. died at Ceralyo on the 4lh inst.
The effects oflhe earthquake were moi
confined to Ocolan. Several villages
aud monasteries were more or less inju-
red by it.
We see it stated that the Governor OF
the city Of ofMexico has issued orders to
all the publishers of newspapers, in that
city, tossubmit the proofsheets to his in
spcction. This is done, because the pa
pers were too fond of abusing the con-
querors.
We have not yet heard the number Of
reinfrcements that have reached Cen
Scott. 1t is probable, however, that lie
has near twenty thousand men with him
in and near the city.
Gen. Taylor is expected in New Or
leans the early part of this month.

Manufactures.

We clip the following from one of our
exchanges. In one sense of the word, it
is applicable to our town. We need
something TO give it a new start. What
that shall be, it is for our citizens and the
citizens of the county TO determine. =
There are several ways to build up our
town--to make it thriving and prosper

We have from the most undoubted authority a
very important piece of information in irelati0n
to the application Of steam power 10 manufactures

up company with capital of 100000, and e.
reced steam WOODEN mill for the mununcilre OF

most sangune expectations. AT the end of the
first year this company will hive returned 10 its
stock holders a dividend of $4,000 from the
profits, besides reserying a surplus of $4,000

frequently stop navigation. renders it at
best but doubtful and precarious de-
pendence for the transaction of business.
Sd. Resolced, Therefore as the sense
ofthis meeting that the Legislature ought

ing and deepening of said canal SO as to
make it equal in width and depth to the
canal above and below-and also forren-
dering lis navigation more permanent and

The Farmers Book and Family In

Messrs Rankin & Cafiee have laid a
copy Of the above work upon our table,
We have given it hasty perusal and can
recommend it 70 the farmers of this coun.
ty. ltis what its name imports book
for the farmer and no one can obtain the
same amount of information, for the price
as is contained in this volume. A work
of the kind should be in the hands feve-
ry friend of agriculture, aud indeed his
library is incomplete without this.
The work contains near 600 pages, is
printed on good paper, is handsomely
bound and is embellished with over one
hundred engravings.
1t contains a vast amount of Information
treats ofthe theory and practice of far
ming-ofthe Horse-of Neat Catte--ot
Sheep and Wool--of Hogs and variety
Of miscellaneous subjects worthy of the
farmers attention and with knowledge
of which he cannot well dispense and be
good farmer.
TheDeclaration oflndependence, with
a facsimile Of the handwriting of the
different signers and handsomely embel.
lishod, is appended to the work.
The price of the work is $2,75. 1t
can be obtained of Messrs Rankin & CAT.
fee or their agents-ond we are sure that
no farmer, who takes an interest in his
calling, will fail to appreciate the con-
tents of the book. The work is not
original. 1t was comprised by j. PRITTs,
of Chambersburg, Pa. from the very best
sources-with the design to improve and

The New Congress.

The XXXth Congress convenes for its
First Session at Washington on Monday,
Dec. 6, and already many members are
there or within days journey. The
newly balanced state of parties in
the House, with the certainty that
there will be doubtful struggle for Clerk
if not for Speaker, will doubtless ensure
the prompt attendance of nearly every
Representative. Major Gaines, one Of
the Kentucky Wings elected, late pris.
oner in Mexico, it has been feared would
not be present; but it is now pretty GER
tain that he will be. John M. Holey of
our State who is in very critical health,
is already in Washington, and will re-
main till after the organization, when he
is compelled to travel Southward. We
think there will not be -four absentees at
roll.call.
The Senators will be less punctual, as
the Administration majority in that body
is large, the officers already chosen, and
there will be little business ofimportance
transacted during the first fortnight:--
Still, we trust quorum will be formed
the first day. The interest attached to
the organization of the House will spur
some of the naturally tagging.
The new SENATE is composed as fol-
lows:
