Giving account of the results of the battle of Cerro

action. He says that his orders were s'fnely exc

which led TO the issue recorded. The loss in actu-
al battle on side in killed and wounded is ESQ,
and that Of the Mexicans $780, II was in the pur-
suit that the enemy suffered terribly in slain and
wounded The capture of the tower on Cerro Gordo
was effected by Gen. Twiggs in style of execu-
ton which General Scott says he had the pleasure
to Witness, and which was most brilliant and deci

battle was half over, but just before Cerro Gordo was
carried. He escaped with Almonte and 5000 troops

HoRRoRs OF WAR.-That very able Journal,
the Richmond Republican. has the following
just and touching reflections upon the horrors
of war as exhibited in the bombardment oil
Vera Cruz. They will come home to every
heart, particularly when tits remembered tina,
we are fighting, not 10 defend our own fire
sides, but 10 conquer an enemy, whose fire.
sides are as dear to him as ours are to us.
But when as at Vera Cruz, the chief and almost
the only victims are non-combatants, helpless wo-
men and innocent children butchered in the sane
tuary Of their homes, blown to atoms at the very
altar Of religion look upon the scene as destitute
Of single redsemins feature, and much filter for the
theatre of He'll than earth. To realize such hide
Gus spectacle we should endeavor to bring it home,
and suppose own city to be surrounded by hos
tile army; our own wives and children cooped UP
within our walls; the bomb shells raining day and
night upon their heads, while even our Churches,
no longer aAording refuge to the weak and defence
less, become slaughter houses, filed with bleeding
women and babes, offered up at the red shrine of the
Demon Of War. f tdgaabE8 ,hse

EMIeRArIor.--A gigantic scheme of emf

mitted by Messrs. Nj. J. O'Connell, M. p, w.
H. Gregory, M. p, and ]. r. Cooley, as a
Committee, to the British Government for
lis sanction and assistance. 1t is proposed
TO devote a certain quantity OF land for

to induce the clergy to accompany a stated
number of families, &c., &c. 1t is also pro-
posed 10 carry on the emigration with such
activity, as to throw some two millions into
Canada, within the next three or four years.
We sincerely hope that the measure will be
adopted by the English Government. for the
