LIEUT.. RITCHEY.-Our readers have read with
painful feelings doubt not, the account of the
melancholy end of this young and gallant officer.
Few, If any, have been connected with the army
Of the United States, who acquired 50 deserved "A
reputation for gallantry in short period He
the Of the late Robert Ritchey OF this city,
worthy and respectable hardware merchant. In
ISL, young Ritciey obtained appointment AZ
West Point, and III 1914 or 40, graduated with tie
first honors Of the institution. Soon after this, lac
entered the army as brevet Lieutenant of the 18th
Regiment At the battles Of Palo Alto and Resaca
he distinguished himself by the bravery of his con-
duct. IL was he Who with nine men, marched 10 the
rescue of Cochrane and Wood. Cochrane fell bu,
Wood saved By the daring OF Rnchey. Such
was the heroisn he displa yed that he Immediate
" promoted to the rank of ID Lieutenant of the 5t
Infantry.
la the memorable s.ege of Monterey, he was in the
,hIckcst of the fight; aud though the balls flew thcI
and fast around hun, aud h,s friend w God, whom he
had rescued in the former struggle fell by his side h,
never falicred
After the battle Of Monterey, he promoted t
the otsce OF Adluant of the Regiment. Gen. Scott
hearing of his bravery, thought him mt me>sengc
to bear his dispatches 10 Gen. Taylor, In the eXecu
ton of which task, he was brutally a>sassina ted
Thus fell, at the early age of twenty, Of ONO
brayest Truly the ways Of Providence in
scrutable.
1t has been suggested. and we think very properly
that steps be taken by citizens to bring his re
mains 10 this City for interment. 1t might be mean
OF alternating the grief of his afflicted mother, t
know that her darling son rested near her. But. in
dependent of this, would be act of public graft
tude, honorable to the City. We trust some patriotic
citizen will take the necessary steps TO carry tln
suggestion mo eXecutIon.-Ctacnndtt Uaronlcle.

EVACUATION OF VERA CRuz-On the 18th ut The
established mail courier arrived at Tampico from Ve-
ra Cruz bringing letters for several foreign merchants
residing in the former city, which announced the
startling fact that the Mexican forces were To with
draw from Vera Cruz immediately. Positive orders
had been rec, ivcd 10y tie officer IN command OF the
troops in Vera Cruz, from Santa Anna himself, to
proceed their head into the interior, thus leaving
the city defenceess. Ii was crrrcntly stated there
that il would be surrendered TO Cen Scott the
he appca red before the walls.
Gen. Scott arrived at Tumpico on the 10Th ult. lie
was received with salutes fired from the land and from
the u. s. schooner Nonata. An accident occurred In
firing the salute on shore by tie explosion OF some
mnsket cartridges, by which two men were severely
but not dangerously wounded. The general was in
excellent health, and Tanpico alive with excite

the suspension of the banks But the tariff of '46 was
passed. and what has followed' Under it, business was
better regular, the country more pros
porous Not that think that prosperity is wholly
produced by tariff; yet tariff now has much effect
ever; and against those who staked their all on
tariff, the argument is as strong il was Expe-
rence and observation proving these croakes

The War and the WhiRs.
The National" scolds at the democratic executive fol-
imbecility in conducting the Mexican war, while the
whg press throughout the Union, and sometimes the
National" by the republication of foolish articles from ia
naca papers in the NORTH endeavong to render the
war odous to the people, and to dissade them from
tbutng to its support by personal service The "Naton
az wants to prove that Gen. Scott would be in very
critical situation should the population of Mexican rise
against him, and declares that, of serious
disaster to the army Mr. Polk would be held responsible
for it, We doubt not the whigswoud hold the President

government; for we have the Z" Bulletin throwing
guar proceedings OF two army quarternasters-we
mean irregular proceedings alleged blythe Buetn and
must have better evidence than that before be-

why may he not be praised and thanked for the
OF our arms Successes are owing to the skill and good
conduct of our officers and soldiers, the NATIONAL
would say And may not disasters happen through the
ignorance carelessness, and misconduct OF officers
and solders Why, them should not the President be
praised and thanked for successes the wings hold him
responsible for disasters
With regard the situation of General Scott il is to be
presumed that he understands it well do-even

from Jaapa he took some pains to ascertain there was
reasonable hope of reaching the capital of Mexico with

us, at this distance, to question the soundness of his
for advancing, when know nothing of the
