THE CAPTURE OF ALvARADo.

We find in the Mobile Daily .4dvertiser of the
18th instant the following particulars relating to
the capture of Alvarado, as derived from officers OF
the navy:
sLae last evening we had the pleasure of interview
with Leuenants BARTON and BnAsuER, who had just
rived from Pensacola From these gentlemen we learn that
CON- Perry sailed for Avarado to invest the place in con-
junction with detachment from the army under Gen OUR
about 1900 strong One day in advance Lieut. CHAs
g. HUNTER in command of the steamer Scourge, was
dered down to blockade the place. in conjunction with the
Albany Capt BHIsE Onrriving at Alvarado, which he
did some time in advance of the Albany, Capt HUNTER
thought he might well proceed at to take the place.
He accordingly fired guns and then summoned the city
to surrender The authorities asked time to consider Lieut.
H. in reply informed them that they might take their choice
between instant and unconditional surrender and an assault
from the land forces then hand They very wisely
chose the former and surrendered discretion Lieutenant
Hunter then left guard, consisting of Midshipman Temple
and five men, and proceeded up the rvetook the town Of
TlacoaPan, Mexican brig loaded with cotton, and some
smaller craft
"We understand that after these gallant achievements
Lieut. HUNTER placed under by Com PERRY for
violation Of ordershe having been directed only to block
ade Alvaado Such doubtless necessary in
der to preserve due subodnaon and yet hard that
young and enteprising officer should be thus punished
whose only crime achievement of which any might
we'll be ptoud."
The surrender to Lieut.. Hunter made on the I'd in
stant On the Sd Gen. QUITMAS arrived with the troops
and CON- PERRr with all the small vessels of the squadron
but they found the place already under the American flag
About 500 Mexican soldiers belonging the posts
made prisoners.

HUzzA FOR Polk Every time our army achieves
victory, the Washington Union says " the efforts
of the Administration will know no relaxation ~
This is rich Taylor has fought all his battles bur-
dened by the want of prompt cooperation on the
part OF the Government, and Scott took Vera Cruz
before his battering cannon had all arrived!
North american.
We are reminded by this pithy paragraph to
state some facts, which we presume are net less
new than they will be surprising to our readers, as
they were to US.
Up to the eve of the battle of Buena Vista, Gen.
TAYLOR had not received Letter from the War
Department subsequent to the 22d of October; and
the first land we think only official information he
then had of Gen. ScoTT's appointment to command
in Mexico the letter of Gen. ScoTr himself from
New York, under date of 25th of November which
has been for some weeks before the Public.
This information, it is proper to say, is not de-
rived by us from any source in this city, nor from
any Officer Of the Army Navy, but is entitled to
confidence.

VIRGINIA ELECTION.

OF the Congressional Election which took place
in the State Of Virginia on Thursday last we have
heard only Of the following results, viz
The reelection of john S. PENDLEToN (Whig)
in the Fairfax district, without serious opposi-
iron and
The election Of JOHN MINOR Boris (Whig) in
the Richmond district, by majority exceeding
three hundred votes This is a Wing gain.
The returns from two counties Frederick and
Jeff'erson) in the tenth Congressional district are
unusually cheering, much so as to induce the
hope that ANTHONY KENNEDY tWhig) has been
elected over Mr.. BEDINGER, the late member, in
district which in 1874 gave Mr.. Polk majority of
700 votes

The PUEBLO INDIANs.-In the recent massacre
and subsequent engagements in New Mexico these
Indians acted conspicuous part. We learn from
the independence Eapositor that, when the forti-
fed church of Taos was fired by the American
forces, Pueblo squaw appeared on the ramparts
bearing flag Of truce. This was shot from her
hand. In these engagements" says the Erposi-
tor, " the Indians fought better and did
ton than the Mexcans. They would kill our men
with their arrows at distance of one hundred and
fifty yards while on horseback they were perfect
Parthians.
