Cry Of MEXICO, Sept. &c, 1847.


Assassinations continue. No less than ten
murdered soldiers we're found this morning, in
The vicinity Of The quarter Of San Pablo, and
eight on the previous day. The fault lies par
TALLY with our own men, who straggle from
their quarters, and get intoxicated at the firs'
pulqueria or grog shop; ye. the fact that even in
this state, they are set upon by gangs OF armed
rufians, shows that feeling of revenge and
deep hatred obtains sgains. US and the lrequen.
cy of the murders would prove that q regular
system Of assassination has organized, the
wire, workers very likely some Of the priests
and leading men.
In my last, / stated tina, Col Mcintosh was
sinking under his wounds-lhat brave officer
died last night, and is to be buried tomorrow,
with all military honors. He fell pierced by
two balls, while CALAMITY leading his men to Al
tack the Casa Ma.s, on the 9th September, and
his system, suffering under wounds received
in former battles, was not able to overcome the
shock. Yours, &c, G. W. X.
CRY or Mexico, Sept. 80, 1917.
We have rumors without number from Pue.
bla to-day. One is tina. Santa Anna has been
killed in an encounter with Colonel Childs in
the vicinity Of that city; another story woulp
make US believe that he has been taken pris-
oner, after defending himself for some time at
the paper mill called La Constancia, in the
neighborhood Of Puebla. The accounts say
that Col. Childs was reinforced by Maj. Lally
and that he Immediately entered the city, drove
out the guerrilas and surrounded the mill
above named. What credit to place in these
rumors know not; but if Santa is really q
prisoner, it has been intentonal-he has given
himself up. II he has been killed, it has been
what the Mexlcans would term one casualidad,
a sheer accident, for no such intention ever
entered his head.
As a prisoner, Santa Aana knows parfecty
well that he can humbug Mr.. Polk with ease
and all his friends besides. We shall know the
whole truth Of the matter in day or two.

wing press are of exactly the reverse opin-
lon' The Democrats will settle this little

THE SECRET CIRcULAR.-A secret circular,
to which the name of Gen Leslie Combs, to-
gether with the signature of four other distin-
guished Wings of kentucky, is appended, has
been published in the Cincinnati papers, and
from them copied into most of the papers of
the Union. The object of this circular is to
dissuade the Wings OF Kentucky from pledg-
ing themselves to the support Of Gen. Taylor
for the Presidency, as Henry Clay will likely
be a candidate again, if he can be nominated
with fair prospect of success. We feel con-
fident from the developments of each success
sive day, that strong effort will be made by
the thorough paced Whigs-the Clay Wings
to bring the &c Sage Of Ashland" once more
before the American people as candidate fol-
the Presidency. Whether they will be sue
cessful, time only can demonstrate.

o. We have been considerably amused with
the conflicting views of the wing press, with
regard to Mr.. Clays speech and resolutions
Some think they are the very dandy, vide the
Fayetteville Observer; others think they will
kill the party if adopted, vide the New York
Courier, Petersburg Intelligencer &c. The
following which we find in late number
of the Washington National Wing, Taylor
paper, is about as rich scrap of whiggery as
we have come across in some time
CA very distinguished wing remarked &c
us yesterday: Nr. Clay has secured, beyono
the probability Of doupt, the absorption o.
the artole of Merico by the United States
W hen asked for the reason of so extraordina
~ declaration, he said: Mr.. CIay anneret
Teas by has Raleigh. letter. There is foot
for reflection in these observations. The,
carry in them more philosophy than appears
at first blush. Whatever may be the result
of the Lexington Resolutions, there cannot BIZ
doubt that the Raleigh letter defeated Mr.
Clay in the last Presidential election. and an
nexed two fatal gifts to the Unioa-James K
Polk as President thereof, and Texas with he
Mexican war. The hostilites of an anna
rent majority of the American people toward
Mr.. Clay is so deep-rooted. so confirmed, tina
it seems to be only necessary for him to speal
and his enemies at once rally in force tina
overwhelms him."

CAPT. WILLIAM ]. CLARK.-We find in the
Union of Monday night, the official despatch
es of Maj. Lally, accompanied by the sub-re-
port of Lieut.. Sears, who commanded the Bat
terry, detailing the incidents of his march from
Vera Cruz TO Jalapa, between the 9th and goth
of last August. Major Lally's command num-
bered about 1000 men, and escorted 81 wag-
ons Major Lally describes some hard fight
ing which he had with the guerrillas. Indeed
the whole march was harrassed, the idea hav-
ing gone abroad that there was large amount
Of specie with the train. The two companies
of the 10Th Infantry, raised in North Carolina
Lally's command, and they both behaved with
the utmost gallantry. 1t will be rccolected
that Capt. VIM. J. Clark, of Raleigh, receiv-
ed a severe wound in his foot We are really
proud as North Carolinian. and much graft
fled as a friend Of this young and gallant Off
Ger, TO notice the high terms of commentator
in which both Maj or LalIy and Lieut.. Sears
speak of him in these official documents. 1t.
Sears, in his report, thus notices the gallant
conduct of Captain Clark and his company:
g Having but six men left, and
finding it impossible to elevate the remaining
niece sufficiently to reach the enemy on the
heights, | reluctantly ordered the pieces TO be
withdrawn. | was only enabled to effect this
object by the assistance of Captain Clark Of
the 18th, who called upon his company tc
9 assist me. The gallant fellows went off in
the utmost order at walk-the while receiv
ing most terrible fire entirely concentrated
on them. And here must beg leave partic
ularly 10 mention the gallant conduct of Capt
Clark. Immediately on discovering the enc
my, commenced firing grape; but owing tt
orders having been given to destroy the bar
Ilcade, only four rounds of grape were carried
forward. | begged some of the infantry ly
ing under the parapet to go to the limbers ant
bring some grape, but none would 60. Capt
Clark came from the extremity of the bridge
and volunteered to go himself and bring them
whist dong so, he was wounded. A brave
or a more gallant officer never lived"

IHE CHoLERA.-We are Iejolced to learn

to receive a visit from it, It's course differs
from the one it pursued in 1886. 1t now

ANNEXATION OF MExIco.-Lient Thos ].
Myers, of the Massachusetts Regiment, and a

paper in Monterey. So it would appear that
even Massachusetts is not entirely opposed to
annexation.

friends in North Carolina, that for reasons
therein set forth, he cannot consent to let his
name go before the whig convention, as a
