The Louisville Journal Of the 4th, cor

The Louisville Journal Of the 4th, con-
tains the following: &
We had the pleasure yesterday morning
of an interview with Lieut.. Bullus, OF the
navy, who arrived at New Orleans on the
James L. Day, from Vera Cruz. Lieut.. Is.
was very sick when he left Vera Cruz. and
paid but little attention to the news. He
had, how ever, read letter written by an
intelligent Off GER ut the city of Mexico, and
which was brought by the last courier. The
letter stated after two o. three days hard
fighting, Gen. Scott entered the city OF -fIex-
leo ut night, at tue point of the bayonet, and
that his entrance was effected at point
where the Mexicans did not expect it at all
Lieut.. Il. further says that he did not hear
anything Of Gen. Worth being among the
missing or wounded, or of the death ofGen.
Smith, and he believes these reports to have
no foundation.
Santa Anna was wounded and Gen. Bra
vo killed. Gen. Scott was in quiet posses
sion Of the city.
The health of Vera Cruz and the squad
ron was improving. The Germantown was
the flag ship.
A portion of tho Indiana regiment had
reached Vera Cruz from the Brazos, when
the Day left. The Americans had posses
sion OF the National Bridge. The Day pass
ed the Ann McKim in the Mississippi, also
from Vera Cruz for New Orleans. She sail
ed about q week before the day, and had
been detained by bad weather.
| The Day arrived ut New Orleans Oh the
afternoon Of the 2jth, and two hours after
1T. y. took passage on the steamer lilInoi:
for Cairo, and reached here yesterday OF
the Northern Light.

DEsERTERs FROM THE ARMy.-Some time
since u statement came from one OF the Va
tire papers, that the deserters from our army
in Mexico, we're mainly among the adopted
citizens of our country, and charging that
the Irish were most liable TO desert. we
have lately seen correct statement OF the
entire number of deserters from our ranks,
as given in the National Police Gazette,
from which it appears that the whole num-
Der Of deserters. at the present time, is one
hundred and ninety. OF this number, 100
| rr~-- h,-n in this country, 81 in Ireland,
| and 10 IN Germany. 1t IS surely >disGrace-
| ful TO our countrymen event If the number
we're not one tenth of that which is stated:
AS the man born and reared in this conn-
try, under such glorious institutions as
ours, who can 0e induced to desert his cOun-
! try's flag in time Of danger, must possess
an exceedingly small share OF honorable
principle. The natives of Ireland among
the deserters, is but one-seventii ofthe W hole
number. This is fact highly crehitable
to that portion Of Our adopted citizens; and
reflects the more honor upon them, when it
! is remembered that they form very large
proportion Of the whole army. The natives
Of Germany, though constituting emal.er
portion of the army, seem to stand BY the
country Of their choice, with equal frmness;
and arc willing rather to die from the shots
oc the enemy, than to desert the flaEwhich
protects thei, rights as men, and promises
freedom to the world. Indeed, there are no
facts Of Importance within our recollection,
which do not point to our adopted citizens,
as the steadfast defenders of our Republican
institutions. The example Of one such man
as SHIELDS, if We had never heard of MoNr-
aoMGRv, would 60 farther to fix our conf
dsnce in the integrity Of Erishmon, than all
the labofed arguments which have eve. been
written, to prove the danger likely to result
to our institutions: from the increased and
largely increasing numbers OF natives of
other countries, who arc coming among US
to find home.-[ Pittsburgh .Hercuyy.
