TWO MORE BATTLES
Capt. Walker Killed.

BY the overland Express and Telegraph to the
Tribune, we are placed in possession of the fol-
lowing important intelligence from the Army in
Mexico:
The Steamship New Orleans, with dates from
Vera Cruz TO tho lst of November, arrived at
New Orleans on the 9TH inst.
The brave Capt. G. Fl. Walker OF Texas, was
killed in a recent action with the Mexicans at
Huanuata.
The following items are extracted from the
Vera Cruz Genius OF Liberty of the LIST inst:
4" Atllxco has been taken possession of by
force of 1000 Of our troops. This large city has
yielded without the least resistance.
Orizaba, by this time, is doubtless also in Dos
session of the American forces.
The Mexican Government has superseded
Santa Annals command of the Army, and Gen.
Rincon has been appointed 10 fill that command.
Gen. Santa Anna loudly protests against this
violation OF his rights as first magistrate Of the
nation, as he styles himself He refuses obedi-
ence TO the orders of the Government, and in the
mean time has retired to Tehuscan.
Gen. Scott and Staff have lately visited the
city of Guadaoupe.
Gen. Almonae has succeeded in reaching Que
retaro.
The city of Mexico is filled with rumors Of
peace.
1t Is said that quorum of the Mexican Con-
gress had assembled at Queretaro, and that
majority had decided in favor Of an amicable
adjustment of the difficulties between the two
Governments.
There appears TO be but little doubt that the
Americans have taken possession of the city Of
Orlzaba, and 1t is altogether probable that the
said force was not over four hundred strong
Orlzaba contains population Of near 10000
Inhabitants; yet they had the good sense 10 sur
render their city, Notwithstanding the meagre
strength Of the force demanding it,"
The following from the Genius OF Liberty OF
the 18th ult contains the most important items
We can gather from the Vera Cruz papers, among
which are the following;
"From four French gentlemen who left tho
City of Mexico on the 18th, and Pueba on the
10Th of the present month, we have received IN
telgence OF very important nature concerning
the state OF affairs in those quarters;

STATE OF VERMONT.
A ROCL A M A T ION,

BY THE GOVERNOR.
The successive hours and moments of the
year, now closing, have been crowned
with mercies. The Preserving Goodness
of our Cop has sustained us in being,
and His BeniGcence has surrounded Us
with all those countless comforts which
render life boom. Country and Friends
and Home, have all been ours; and these
are all our Heavenly Fathers gifts. How
suitable then, at this season, which seems
waymark in our passing lives, that we
should pay a united tribute of gratitude to
our kind Benefactor
In conformity, therefore, to custom es-
tablished by our Fathers, and worthy of
continued observance, | do hereby appoint
THURSDAY, the SECOND DAY OF
DECEMBER NEXT, to be observed by
the People of this State, as day of PUB
Lie THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE.
LET us, on that day, suspend our ordinary
pursuits and assemble in our respective
places Of public worship for the purpose
of unitedly rendering tribute of alteration
and praise for the mercies of the year.
Let us be unfeignedy thankful that instead
of suffering from famine, our wants have
been abundantly supplied, and through the
uniaiiing bounty ofProvidence, another rich
harvest has been safely gathered into our
gamers; that instead of being desoated by
wasting disease, health has generally prevail
ed, so that the voice of joy and gladness
has been heard mngling with the voice of
plenty throughout our borders. And let
US be especially grateful for the yet higher
blessings which have fallen to our lot-our
social enjoyments, our means Of knowledge,
our civil privileges, and our religious free
dom.
AND as we thus pay the homage of CRATE
full hearts, let us supplicate a continuance
of the propitlous smiles of Heaven. Let
us pray for aid from on High to walk in
those high and holy paths in which our IA
theirs trod, that the blessings which we en-
Joy may be continued to US, and perpetuated
to our children through all coming years.
AND while in view of our highly favored
lot, our hearts go forth in thankfulness, let
them also grow warm with benevolent de-
sires in behalf of our fellow men. Let US
pray that all nations may be prepared to
share in such blessings as have been pour
ed on this our own pleasant and "goodly
heritage" And finally, let us pray that
trutl, IN It's benign ana DllSSlul power,
may soon triumph over all the earth-that
man may every where learn how much mere
delightful it is to wipe away the tear, than
to be the minister of revenge and wrong
that under the universal recognition of that
law of kindness which this truth inculcates,
war and contention may be banished from
our world, and peace and harmony and love,
in their golden and indissoluble bonds, unite
all the families of man.
Gioen under my hand, and the seal OF said
State, in E1ecutiUe Chamber, at Montpe-

covered till the house was completely developed
in the flames, no clue is afforded as 10 the cause
of the accident. Their calcined bones, all that
remained Of them, were buried on Monday.

REPORT:

The committee are unanimous in appaudng
the generous and elevated patriotism that sug-
gested to the General Assembly this appropriate
method of commemoraling the characters and
services of the two renowned Vermonters whose
statues i. is proposed to procure They can cen
ceive of no more worthy and admirable means
of perpetuatDg the gratitude Of the State to-
wards men whose energy and whose counses
have given to both her military aud civil annals,
the decisive marks of republican yigor and SIM
pliciiy which they possess The names of both
these men are closely connected, not only with
each other, but with the progress Of the excl.
ting and extraordinary events that attended the
foundation and secure establishment OF the gov
eminent OF Vermont. Amid the storms OF the
Revolution, when principle was waging her SEEM
ingy hopeless contest against poper, the leading
Spirits of Vermont were mpelled to more OBJ
stinate patriotism, and deeper love of Freedom,
by the contemporaneous attempt of some Of the
States by which she was surrounded, to divide
her territory among them, and 10 cast lots for
the garment of her State Independence. No
men were more resolute in resisting this scheme,
or more instrumental in defeating It, aud in
maintaining the dignity, the honor, and The indi.
viduaity Of the State, than Allen and Chitten-
den.
The committee do not, however, feel called on
in addressing this Legislative assembly, to re-
view history 80 ldulllldE 10 I'LL lnleLlHcHt Ct
monters as that which has given honorable ce.
lebrity TO the names Of Ethan Allen and Thomas
Chittenden. They deem no argument nor array
OF motives, necessary to demonstrate the strength
OF the obligations which the State is under to The
frmest and wisest of her Patriots and Defenders
There is one consideration connected with The
project referred to them, however, that the com
mitiee cannot iorbear TO notice Hiram Powers
the Sculptor whose genius it is proposed to EN-
ploy, is native son Ct Vermont. Yet in tn,
prime OF manhood, he has won a reputation
which suffers nothing in the comparison wit

This reputation while il is mol bounded by stat
limits IN its extent, nor by any limits short c
