And hope, one hope their bosoms found,

ERfNENT TO DESIGNATE THE oBJEcTs TO BE Ac-
coIpLsHED" True. Has the Government
esfr designated the objects 10 be accomplished
either In general to the People or specifically
to Gen. Taylor, the commander. Never. All
the Official acts of the President and Congress
may be searched in vain for any definite and
ultimate objects of the War. This correspon-
dence of the War Department, extending thro'
the entire campaign, may be searched in vain
for definite, precise plan Of campaign for
General Taylor.
The second principle laid down by General
Jesup IS equally correct; the objects of the
War being defined, it is the duty of the Gene
raj to call for the means. AS far as he knew
anything of the objects of the War, he did
When he saw the Army approaching under
Arist9. he called for volunteers; and when he
had called for volunteers, he asked, on the
2Oth Of April, that the Government would
give the necessary orders to The Staff ofhe .4rmy
for tie supply Of that additional force. What
more could Gen. Taylor do!
This correspondence of the War Depart
ment condemns the A Administration in the con-
duct of the War more than anything which
has ever been advanced in or out of Congress
1t shows concusvely the following points:
]. That the Government had no defined OBJ
jects in the War, Whatever, and knew no more
than children to what point it was tending.
That had no defined plan of campaign;
but ordered the General and troops hither and
thither, upon suggestions and conjectures.
), That it hurried the volunteers to the Rio
Grande, without any preparation for them in
advance.

made !requentr representations, complaints, and

CHAPTER II.

Now Zachariah did many mighty acts, and
smote the enemy hip and thigh, and took pri.
soners the captains of their host, and very
much spoil, of cattle and sheep and asses.
But in process Of time, the treasury of the
King was greatly dininished and he called
unto him Robert, the steward of his household,
and said unto him, eWherewithal wilt thou pro-
vide for the sustenance Of the army, and the
maidens of my household! And the steward
answered and said unto him This thing will
1 do, will comb my hair and anoint my whis.
kers with oil, and put on sanctimonious air,
and go unto money shavers of Gotham, and it
shall be, when they behold my face, that their
purse-strings shall relax, and they shall re-
penish the treasures of my lord the King
And the saying pleased the king we'll.
So Robert went unto Gotham, unto the seats
of the money. changers. And he went unto
the chief banker, named Flintheart, and be-
sought him, saying, 'sLend now unto me ten
thousand talents of gold, and the King will
see thee repaid" But Fllntheart rolled up the
white of his eyes, and answered him saying,
sis thy servant green, that he should do this
great thing?' Likewise, also, said all the
bankers.
But when the King heard thereof, he was
greatly troubled, and wist not what to do /;
likewise, Marcy, the scribe, rent his pants
Now Richie, surnamed the "Falher,' was
privy counsellor to the King, and the same was
cunning man, and plausible, and full Of all
manner OF hypocrisy, and deceit, and served
diligently his father, the devil. And he crept
stealthily, at midnight, unto the King, and said
unto him, "Why is the countenance of my
lord the king cast down! Are not all the
people as grass in thy sight. Now, therefore,
let tax be imposed on the tea and coffee, SO
shull thy treasure be filled., And the King
sought to do according to the word of Richie;
but the people murmurred against him, and
would not be taxed.
In those days the spirit moved Zacharah to
write letter to his kinsman, and it was noised
about through all the land. And the thing
troubled the king, and he would have laid
hands on Zachariah, but he feared the people;
for all the people loved Zachariah, and desired
to make him King. But the king made de-
cree, that whatever soldier should write to his
kinsfolk, or acquaintance, should be hanged on
a gallows, fifty cubts high. So the land had
rest from the scribes and quill-driyers.

From VERA CRUz.-Mr. Kendall, writing to
the Picayune, from Vera Cruz, under date OF
the 4th, states that Col. Harvey with his dra-
goons had dashed into Antigua and taken one
lieutenant and eight Lancers prisoners. III
the rest were out accommodating. Two of
Col. Kinney's men, who were at Santa An
mas estate, Mango de Cla7o, say that it is
deserted; they met the Lancers running to-
wards Jalapa. PueDte Nacional had been de-
serted and La Vega was lortiiying Cerro Cor
do, this side of Jalapa, for defence if he was
sustained. Santa Anna still talks of opposing
Gen. Scott's advance upon the capital.
P. S. have just conversed with very in
ellgent man--one who should know Mexico
we'll. He says that the inhabitants, IN the in
erior, with the exceptions of few of the
clergy and proPnetors of houses and lands,
Ire farther from wishing a peace with the
United States than ever. Qtaen Sebe2 but
more than half believe him.
