The Mississippi Creole. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1841-1851, 1847-08-07

Com shurbrick had Issued an order directing
that all kinds Of provisions should be admitted
into the ports Of California free Of duties and
port charges. The order took effect on the
LIST March and was to continue in force for
six months.
Monterey had been fixed upon as the tenn
pOraly seat of government and Captain Turner
left that place on the I'd of March, for the
Angels, with orders from Governor Kearny to
dlsband or to ~re-organize the California bat
talon and to forward all the government ar
chives to Monterey. Col. Fremont was also
ordered to Monterey.
A Legislative council, to be appointed by
Gen. Kearney, was to assemble at Monterey,
some time in March. Public m ceilings had been
held in various parts Of the northern division
Of California, for the purpose of nominating
suitable persons to represent the people in the
Legislature.

The second Regiment Of Volunteers raised
in your State, elected me their Colonel in jan
uary last; and although ~ruinous to my private
interests at home, | accepted the command
and have since then been in the discharge OIL
my duties in Mexico,
At the time of the organization of the Regi-
ment. the opinion generally prevailed that the
war could be brought to a close before the first
Of June or July, by a vigorous and active cam
paign which would be had by our armies, and
that the volunteers, who did not expectto make
arms a profession, could return to their bust
ness before their interests had materially suf-
fered; but to the establishment Of every one, a
hardness has characterized the service indica-
ting a prolracted war of many years.
During the time | have been engaged in the
service, my health always feeble and delicate,
has became seriously impaired. My private
affairs, rendered complicate and large by pro-
f%essional life have severely suffered. Those
considerations have induced me to resign the
command of the Regiment, and return home,
which | do with the consolation to believe thai
while | have acted as Colonel | discharged my
duties faithfully if not efficiently.
Your obedient servant,
R. DAVIS.

The following is an extract from a letter Of
Col. Gates and Gov. Wilson, touching the loss
of men in Col. DeRussy's expedition:
TAmPIco, June II, l847.
Colonel--I do not at this time regret that you
could not send to me the assistance desired.
Col. DeRussy has returned with his command,
having lost only eight or ten men, after being
attacked by 1900 or more, and surrounded for
three days whilst on his way to Tampico. He
made such havoc with his G-pounder and his
men that the enemy were afraid at lastto come
within gunshot. He killed and wounded $50,
confessed by an officer of the Mexican forces
Our officers say $50 killed,
The truth is, that 100 mon passed through a
range Of 1870 miles and a population Of $4,000
people with great success. The colonel was
ambuscaded three times by 1000 or more, and
yet he defeated the enemy continually. When
! heard that he was surrounded by SO large a
force thought he would ind it beyond his
power to escape; but he extricated himself
handsomely, and I am r%ojoiced at his "feat at
arms"
From The Sun Of .Anahuae Of July %.
Two hundred men who left this city after the
train which left a few days ago were attacked
a few miles FROM Santa Fe. The Mexicans
had a strong force and were defeated.
Lieut.. Fitzgerald was sent on an expedition
a few days ago with rs men. They went to
Santa Fe, took away some prisoners belonging
to the army, and, we are glad 10 learn, set fire
to that town, the refuge of the guerrillas,

THE EXAMINATION Of Col. Carr's School
took place on Monday and Tuesday last. This
was the close Of the first session, and the va
cation will be for six weeks. AS we were
present during nearly the whole examination,
we can say with truth that the examination
was not for show. The books that the scholars
had studied were mentioned, and gentlemen
were requested to examine in any part, and
this was done. From such an examination it
was easy to ascertain who had, and who had
not, availed themselves of the opportunities
afforded them. With few exceptions, the TX
animation was satisfactory. The progress
made BY some was indeed wonderful. We do
not know that we have ever been better pleas
ed with an examination than with this. Par
ticular places had not been selected and the
scholars secured on them while all the rest was
rust. Col. Carr is a good scholar, and we hope
will receive proper encouragement. We wish
that he had a school room out Of town, as we
think the influences Of this place are not favo-
rable to young students,

Successful attack upon a Train. - The schr,
Sarah Churchmon, Capt. Erickson, arrived yes
terday from the Brazos, having sailed thence on
the 23d inst. By her we have a Matamoros
FLAG of the 2lst inst,-four days later than the
number previously received.
Quite the most interesting news in the Flag
is the following in relation to an attack upon
a train, which was partially successful:
The last arrival from Camargo brings an &C
count of a recent attack by the Mexicans, sup
posed to be detached party of Urroa's troops,
upon a train on its way to Monterey. The
wagon train was attended by a small escort,
and following in the rear were some sixty OF
eighty pack mules, freighted with goods be.
longing to merchants Of Matamoros. The
train was attacked near Marin, and the assault
was directed against the rear, with a view oil
cutting off the pack mules, in which the Mex.
leans were completely successful-all the mules
with their packs were captured by them. A
considerable booty has thus fallen into Their
handsome say about 100000 worth of dry
goods and a quantity Of tobacco. The princi-
pal loss is sustained by Mr.. Tarniver, one oil
the most respectable merchants of Matamoros,
who loses upwards of $4,000 in dry goods
Mr. Klngsbury was the owner Of the tobacco.

TO say that he returns his thanks to his friends

that office.
We understood his friends to say that they
announced him on their own responsibility,
and therefore we do not feel authorized to take
it out, without their consent, until after cleo
ton.

Foreign News.


From the news in our paper this week il will
be seen that the two most intelligent and civil
LIKED powers Of Europe, are, like ourselves, en-
gagged inthe great work Of progress. England
has for years been engaged, by the convincing
arguments Of swords and guns, in teaching the
East Indians commerce and civiIization,a and the
Chinese The benefits of opium in addition.
The poor devils have just taken their second
lesson. France has been engaged in the same
good work with the Algeriues, Arabs and Poly-
n~esians, and has now undertaken to give the
Cochin Chinese a lesson in religion-the reli-
gion Of the Prince ofPeace. We are doing our
part in the great work-we are giving freedom
and civilization to the enslaved and beniqbted
Mexicans. The fond believers in a Millenni.
nm and the reign Of christ on earth must see IN
these events a sign that the time drawetb niob
For these reasons, doubtless, has Andrew B.

and women that a convention will be held ON
