of the army worm, last year.
The weather warm, with frequent show
ers, caused the cotton, corn and cane to
shoot up rapidly, which led the planters to
believe that they would have a bountiful
supply of the products of the soil once
more.
But alas how soon were their fond an.
ticipations blasted, when the Cut Worms
made their appearance. destroying the corn
and cotton as fast al it made its appear

VIcroRY.-Another glorious victory
has been achieved by our army under tho
command Of Gen. Scott. The Battle Of
Sierra Gorda, in which 5000 Mexican
prisoners were taken, including an innu-
merublo host d otFicers, was fought with an
obstinacy which proves that Mexico is de-
terminod to brave our arms, and dispute to
the last, every attempt at conquering a
peace.
Il has become inevitable that she must
fall, and the pride other iattering dema-
gogues ma deto feel the prowess Of Ameri
can valor.

presence on that memorable day. will no
longer be deemed the impregnable and
heroic defender of Mexican rights and lib
critics, but the bye word of reproach and
contempt throughout the republic.
His deeds ofyalor and patriotism have
sunk to slumber with the mass of those
wretched and hapless beings, his malici-
Gus designs and insatiate thirst for power
has hurried to the tomb.

CHATEAUBRrANp.-Thc Paris CORES

concludes n late letter by the translation Of
a note from VI. de Cbstraubriand 10 n VI.

sit is 50 characteristic Of this celebrated
writer, who may be said to be the founder
of the present school ofliterature in France,

M. de Chateaubriand is declining rapidly.
and will probably soon have ceased to live.
The following lines may, therefore, almost
be considered as his last words :"

but shall ever be a Christian as always

All things considered, there is but one
thing in life religion. 1t is religion that
gives order and liberty to the world, and
after life a better existence. | too have
had, amidst the sorrows ofmy life, moments
of doubt and Of Indifference , but in adj

and the result was that Clark had his bow
