DIED,--In this city, on Monday evening last,
at the Hotel Of MIR h. k-co!,ins, after IL Illness
of a few weeks. MIR. FRANCIS PRATT, aged
about 81 years
The deceased was, comparatively. stronger
to our Citizens but those who became acquainted
with him esteemed him of strict lrtrg-
rity and possessing amiable and benevolent
heart. Although he was Ill and died among stran-
gers-a,ho ugh WIFI, sister daughter
kept vigils around his couch Though father
brother or son administered to his wants; yet
there were those who did all that daughters could
have done--al that the kind and syuapathizlng
heart of woman could do was done for our de-
ceased brother by the i4iniiy of the gentleman at
whose house he died. The Sons OF Temperance
tho members Of Clark Division TO which he
was attachet--done t.etr iuty. We take pleas
ure in assuring Tie family and frien is of the de-
ceased that all that could be done by human
power was done TO save him 10 them; but a wise
and unerring Providence had wled that his soul
must leave this world for that blessed land of the
spirits Of just made perfect, hence tho skill
and kindness Of man were futile.
DIED, In this place Oh Sunday morning last,
after protractcd AM painful illness, EDWARD

Gen. Scott. at The latest date, was making
reat pre- partitions. at the Brazos:Dut he p!u-
IDENTITY shut his mouth with regard to future
movements. There is great cry here.
that the movements OF the army, such as
a march to any place, are frequently made
known to the officers through the New
Orleans papers; but am of opinion that
Scott desires to issue such orders through
the Adjutant General, and that they SHALL
be news when issued.
The frigate Raritan was off The Bar this
morning. and an officer and boats crew are
in the city tonight.

FROM ThE UNION SATURDAY
GENERAL TAYLoR-It is understood that Gen.
Taylor-who has been absent from his family and
private business for more than two years and
half, and during the whole of that time has been
engaged in the most important and arduous duties
has asked for leave Of absence to return to the Uni
ted States for six months.
His letter to that effect was received by the Ad-
jutant General yesterday evening in the course of
which, Gen. Taylor states that he thinks, in con-
sequence OF the present character of the war, his
services may not be wanted at this time. He pur-
poses to remove TO Matamoros early this month,
where he awaits the answer of The Government,
and expresses desire to be in New Orleans by
the lst of December.
We understand the leave of absence has been
granted to him: and we have no doubt that if
events should arise to call for his services on that
frontier he will fly to place himself at the head Of
his gallant army.

GEN, WORTH Al PUEBLA. OE'
SANTA ANNA.-HERRERA ELECTED
PRESIDENT.
The New Orleans papers received at
Philadelphia, ,of the date of the 9th of May,
contain later and highly important intelli-
gence from the Southern Division OF our
Army. There appears to be no abatement
of the war feeling and appeals are still
made to the people to animate their droop-
ing spirits.
The report that Gen. Worth had enter
ed Puebla is fully confirmed. No opposi-
ton was made to Worth's entrance into the
second city of Mexico. Santa Anna, in
spite of his threats and boastings, instead of
opposing Gen. Worth's division, made a
precipitate retreat before the advance of
our victorious army.
Herrera was elected President on the
18th Of May, at the convocation of Con-
gress at the capital. This looks as if San
ia Anna was not as popular with his coun-
trymen as recent accounts from Mexico
would have us believe.
It is not stated what vote Santa Anna re-
ceiyed for the Presidency, although it is
well known that he was q candidate, and
that his friends were Jealous in advocating
his claims. 80.
