arrival here this evening of friend from
Monterey; who left thence on the 18th
inst; gives us the information that the
division had moved forward. accompanied
by Gen. Taylor. and expected TO reach
SaltiIlo on the 18th, having left Monterey
on the 18th. The division is composed of.
the 9Th and sth U. s. infantry, Col. Child's
battalion Of artillery, acting as infantry, Dc
1t. Col. Duncan's battery OF field artillery,
and a squadron of dragons, under Lieut..
Col May. No opposition was ex-
pected TO be met with, either on the route
or at Saltillo, as the Mexican authorities
of the town had conferred with the COM
manding general, and, it is supposed made
terms for its peaceable surrender.
The taking of Iampico by our feet,
and in view of the limited force the feet
could spare for lis garrisoning, Col. Gates,
with commendable promptiiude, and with
ont waiting for orders, has ordered all the
disposahle troops at the Brazos and Point
Isabel to embark for that place, and q
detachment was TO have sailed to-day.
The colonel takes with him a sufficient
armament TO prevent the re-capture ofthe
place in conjunction with the force that
can he spared from The feet. No doubt

Presently several officers assembled. and
were talking in cluster, when along

he in return.
Not moment was TO he lost-he had at
first snatched up blanket to cover his
egress, but now dropping it. he raised the
window and out he bounced; sans cutotteS,
sans everything but very short under

end he dashed upon full parade ground.
The shout which hailed him broug t out
the whole barracks to see what was the
matter, and the dignifed Lieutenant pulled
a tall Sergeant in front of him to hide his
parade dress.

Where rolls the rushing Rio Grande,
Here peacefully, they sleep;
Far from their native Northern land,
Far from the friends who weep.
No rolling drum disturbs their rest,
Beneath the sandy sod
The mould lies heavy on their breast,
Their spirit is with God.
They heard their country's call, and came.
To battle for her right;
Each bosom filed with martial flame,
And kindling for the fight.
Light was their measured footstep when
They moved to seek the foe,
Alas. their hearts so fiery, then,
Should soon be cold and low.
They did not die in eager strife.
Upon well fought field;
Nor from the red wound poured their lie,
Where covering foemen yield.
Deaths gastly shade was lowly cast
Upon each manly brow;
But calm and fearless to the last,
They sleep in silence now.
Yet shall grateful country give
Her hOnors to their name;
In kindred hearts their memories live,
And history guard their fame.
Nor unrememher'd do they sleep
Upon foreign strand,
Tho'near their caves the wild waves weep
Upon the banks of the Rio G'ande.

Be Economical.

No matter if your parents are worth
millions, it is not the less proper that you
should understand the value Of money aud
the honest honorable means of acquiring
it. What multi!udes of young men, par
ticuiariy in our cities, make shipwreck of
reputation and health, end eventually of
property. by neglect of this maxim! They
are aware that their fathers obtained
their w-alth by habits of industry, hut
they are ashamed of the name. They
forget that wealth in this country passes
rapidly from one to another, and that he
who is rich to-day may he poor to-mor-
row; or that he who relies on wealth a.
massed by his father may end his days in
a poor house. Il is for the young man 10
say whether by industry and economy he
will secure competence aud responsibility
or by idlPness become worthless beg
gar and sponging outcast. Be just. Ia
the course oflife. man frequently finds
his interest or his opinion crossed by those
from whom he had right to expect better
things, and young men are apt to feel
such matters very sensil'iy. Look at their
conduct carfIlly. and be just to motives
that prompt it You may fad that, were
you placed in their position, the course
you now condemn would be the proper
one for you. and the one you would be
under obligations to pursue. A lutte cool

WRATH OF AMURATH SUBDUED.-
Sultan Amura,n, pr nee noto i1us for his
cruelty, laid siege to Bagdad, and on TAX
ing it, gave orders for putting thirty thou
sand Persians to death, Notwithstanding
they had submitted and laid down their
arms. Among the number of victims was
a musician, who entreated the officers to
whom the execution Of the sultan orders
was entrusted. to spare him for moment
while he might speak to the author Of th4
dreadful! decree. The officer consented.
and he was brought before Amurath. who
permitted him to exhibit specimen ofhis
art Like the musician in Homer, he
took up kind ofpsa!tery, which resem-
bles Tyre, and has six strings on each
side, and accompanied it with his voice.
He sung the capture of Bagdad, and the
triumph of Amurath. The pathetic tones
and e<ultiug sounds which he drew from
the instrument, joined to the alternate
plaintiveness and boldness Of his strains
rendered the prince unable to restrain the
softer emotions Of his soul. He even
suffered him to proceed, until, overpower-
ed with harmony, he melted into tears of
pity, and repented of his cruelty. In con-
sideration OF the musicians abilities. he
not only directed his people to spare those
among the prisoners who yet remained
alive, but also to give them instant lib
erty.
