STRESGTH OF CERRo GoRDo.-A letter from
Mr.. Kendall Of the Picayunc, says:

Words cannot describe the strength of the
place, nor the immense difficulty, to say moth
ing of the danger, attendant upon storming it.
IL is said that Santa Anna remarked, the eve
ming before it was captured, "If The Yankees
ran storm his place they can storm hell itse!f!'
Not a man who looks at the natural and artifi-
cial obstacles these men had to encounter, bat
must think they would deter and dlsmay the
stoutest hearts yet every man under Col IIar-
ncy pressed onward, as if determined to be
first at the breastworks. The history Of war
can hardly show parallel to the storming Of
Ccrro Gordo.

The State of New York is at present in n
strange predcament, which will cause great
deal OF trouble if she does not get out of il

alt appears that every member to whom nomi-

They are certainly both rery beantiful; great bellies in- deed,--but without any of the worst charac- terlsiies of belle-ship; apparently without the slightest consciousness of it--and very un- affected. One of them particularly, appeared to me, from her thoughtful, intellectual cast ot counienance, as if her heart were in high CT pursuits; and afterwards discovered that she was the author of some very elegant ar ticles for the Southern journals, and young person of no mean promise as poet
