who was President all interim before the
arrival of SANTA ANNA from exile, has issu-
ed proclamation announcing that he is
empowered to raised guerilla corps, and
calls upon all good Mexicans to Join his
standard. In his concluding sentence he
says that war to death, without pity. shall
be the device of the guerilla warfare of yen-
gence!" ..
Prcsiden. ANAYA has also issued pro.
clamation calling upon one and all to rally
to the standard and recue their common
country from the hand of tho invadcr-he
points them 10 the glorious deeds OF their
fathers, and urges them to immitate their
example. From all these movements we
are led to the belief that there is but little
prospect of the war being terminated soon.
Should the guerilla warfare be adopted, our
troops may be much annoyed by bands Of
these dastardly wretches, who have not
courage enough to face in open field no.

they exhausted and wore out the Spanish,
and finally compelled them to abandon the
re-conquest ofthe country; but we take it,
that in the Americans they have material
OF sterner nature to contend with men
patient of toll, who will conquer or die.
And though hundreds of our gallant sold
lcrs may perish by the diseases incident to
that climate, there are thousands yet
amongst us who will buckle on their ar
mour and follow their country's standard
to the field. Mexico must yield, their stub
orness is of no aval-her walled cities and
imprcgnable castles-her rugged roads and
towering mountains are but feeble barriers
to our victorious troops-the genius of
America fights with our TAYLOR, and ScoTr.

onward to conqest.

Palmetto Rcsirnent.

According to the latest information from
the Army, our Regiment was at Jalapa, its
health improved. 1t seems to be the under
standing of those who write, that the Regi
men: will march on with the army to the
city of Mexico, and not be left to garrison
any of the posts upon the road; we trust
this may be SO. By a slip from the Daily
Picayu,,e, we learn, that among the priso-
ners liberated by General WoRTn at the
Castle of Pcrote, there were two South
Carolina Volunteers. These we are happy
to learn by a letter from one of the Volun-
teers, are the unfortunate young men WAT
SON and RILEY, who were blown off and
supposed to be lost. They were wrecked
near Alvarada, taken by the Mcxicans, car
ried to Perote, and confined in it's gloomy
walls until liberated by their own men.
What must have been their feelings when
unconscious Of the approach of friends, and
supposing themselves to be completcly-in
the hands of enemies and reserved pcrhaps
for some cruel death, they were summoned to
come forth to mingle once more with friends
These young men have Been mourned for
as dead and these tidings cannot be other
wise than gratifying to their friends.

what problematcal. The last authentic in
telllgence located him at Orizaba with a
miscellaneous command of 3OOO.- Subse-
quent rumors report him as having gone
South to recruit his ranks at Oaiaca 1t is
certain that he has not shown himself at
the capitol since his defeat There is a re-
port that he desires to leave the country;
but Mr.. Kendall thinks he may make a
dash upon detached parties in the rear of
the army, or upon wagon trains, with a
view to reinstating himself in good opin-
ion of tho nation.
Maj. Gen Pillow came passenger in the
James l.. Day His wound is doing we'll.
Lieut.. Col. Anderson, of the lst Tennes-
Sc regiment, came over in the Dav also.
He has seen much service, both under Gen.
Taylor and Gen. Scott, at Monterey and
Cerro Gordo, and now returns on account
OF ill hcalth.-Picayuue.
1t was the intention of Gen. Scott, upon
the arrival of the wagon train that was to
start from Vera Cruz, about the 9th inst.
to cut Oft all connection with the sea coast,
rely upon the country for sustenance, ahd
push forward for the city. This general
order, dated at Jalapa, 3Oth April, intimates
as much. But Mr.. Kendall's letter of the
4th-thc very latest news-throws some
doubt upon the speedy adoption of this
plan, in consequence Of the determination
of the rwelvc months in body, not to re-
enlist. This may retard the advance of
the army, unless indeed the reported readi-
ness of the city to surrender be confirmed.
Ii the rumor prove true, the guerilla troops
are mere marauders-a band of pirates
and should be treated accordingly.
Gen Worth was gathering up all the
grain he could, and has all his bakeries
at work, as if in anticipation of breaking
of Communication with Vera Cruz.
1t will be gratifying to all to learn that
Gen. Shields was thought to be in a fair
way to recover. We have always regarded
him as the best appointment from civil life
yet made by the President.

By l2 o'clock, the whole expedition sue
ceedetl in gaining an entrance Of the river,
notwithstanding the serious difficulties pre-
sentcd bv the breakers Of the bar Shortly
afterwards, everything being in readiness
for an attack, Commodore Perry hoisted his
broad pennant on board the Spitlire, and at
once led the rest Of the vessels up the river
After ascending it about five miles, two
forts were dicovered on the right bank, both
of which opened upon the squadron
Immediately all the boat were manned with
storming parties, and while the steamers
and gunboats were gallantly returning the
fire of the forts they (thc boats) dashed on
and quickly took possession of the forts,
the MeSicans rctreating down one side Of
the hill as the sailors asccnded the other
The whole expedition now moved on
steadily towards the town of Tuspan, but
in little while another fort, situated on
high hill, commanding the whole CITY,
opened upon the vessels and bargcs At
the same time volleys of muskclry were
fired by the enemy from the chaparral, his
latter fort was also promptly attacked, and
like the other two, was carried without the
enemy waiting 10 cross bayonets, our noble
tars proving themselve first rate fellows for
this species of boarding work. Simultanc-
ously with the occupation of this fort, d.
vision of the expedition landed in the town,
and at once took possession of it. The
greater part of the inhabitants had fled and
left but a few scattering soldiers within
reach of our balls.
In the course of the contest seventeen
men and officers were killed and wounded
Captain Tatnall received ball in the right
elbow joint; Lieutenant James L. Parker,
Aid to the Commodore, severe wound in
the upper part ofthe breast; Lieut. Whittle,
Il flesh wound in the right leg, and Lieut..
E1artstein, flesh wound in the right wrist
and thigh. All the wounded, however, are
doing we'll.
Several guns of the Truxton were found
mounted upon the fort, all of which were
recovered and brought on board the squad
ron. Other articles belonging to the Trux-
ton were likewise recovered. After retain
ing possession Of the town from the 9Th to
the 22nd inst, the force was Withdrawn
and embarked, leaving, however, the Alba
ny and gunboat Refer, under Captain
Breeze to guard and command the place.
tmay be proper to state, that all the forts
Of the place were destroyed by our forces
There being no further work on the coast
for the squadron, Commodore Perry con-
templated, we learn movement towards
the interior: with fine body of $500 tars
thoroughly organized, should such step
be deemed advisable.

The steamship James l.. Day arrived at
the Levce early this morning from Vera
Cruz, whence she sailed on the 5th instant.
BY this vessels we ha We received our regular
correspondence and files of Vera Cruz and
Jalapa papers Apart rom theintelligence
contained in our letters. we learn verbally
that an express reached Vera Cruz mo-
ment before the smiling ofthe James L. Day,
with information that deputation had come
down from the city of Mexico to request
Gen. Scott to take the capital under his pro-
lection. This news is almost incredible :;
but when it is remembered that the system
of guerilla warfare has been adopted by
Mexico, and that the banditti who engage
in this service are as dangerous to their own
countrymen as to the enemy, the report
gains some probability.
The impression was gaining ground in
the army that there would be no more fight
ing. 1t was not expected that there would
be any opposition this side or at PuebIa;
and it was even doubted if the Mexicans
would defend their capital. Expectations
of this nature have proved deceitful so often
that we indulge them with much misgiving.
The Mexican papers continue their decla-
matory structures upon the mission ofAtocha.
1t would appear that the sending of this
miserable fellow on any important mission
to Mexico has given greater umbrage than
all else that has been done by the United
States. They regard him in the light of an
official pimp. reasonable pander, peril
dious miscreant and indeed the concentra-
ton of baseness. They think he was sent
here by the American cabinet in mock and
scorn. We have already copied the article
of Ell Republican, upon Atocha. That
paper. the very best in all Mexico; the
highest in tone and the sturdiest defender
ofrepublican institutions when the mon
archical party was in the ascendant, after
noticing the arrival of Atocha on mission
from this country and recountlng his pas:
history IN Mexico, remarks,
"Oh God this is the greatest sign that
thou has forgotten us. Send upon us bombs,
rifles, grape shot and every class of proiec-
tile and misfortune burn us, reduce us to
ashes, destroy us-annihilate but do not
dishonor us. Send the entire North 10 SUBJ
jugate and rule over US, but let not Atocha
be the broker OF a contract for peace, be-
cause that, dcvolving upon as the greatest
scorn and the greatest humiliation, would
be 70 God j the greatest punishment"
This we are assured is true reflex of
the feelings Of the better order Of Mexicans
in regard to this unfortunat appointment.
The whereabouts of Santa Anna is some.

War ItCmS-NlcXican Incidents,

We Gull from our corresdence such items
and incidents as have not altogether been
anticipated, and which may be interesting
to the public.
Tho StOrming Of Cerro Gordo.
Mr.. Kendall in one Of his letters gives
the following account Of the storming of
Cerro Gordo But for the illness of Gen.
Smith the assault would have been led by
that gallant officer. In his stead Colonel
Harney has reaped the laurels of this glori-
Gus achievement, and long may he wear
them. The mschance of one chival, Gus
spirit made way for the valor of another,
who approved himself, upon this as upon
other occasions, capable of the most daring
feats of gaIlan,ry.
The storming and capture Of the strong
works on Cerro Gordo, by the brigade un-
der Col. Harvey, may be looked upon as
one ofthe most brilliant achievements of the
Mexican war-the fate Of the battle turned
upon it, and here the enemy had placed an
overwhelming force Of his best troops -
The hill was steep and naturally difficult
of ascent; but independent of this the
ground was covered with loose, craggy
rocks, and underground of tangled chapar-
raj, besides many small trees, the tops Of
which were cut of some four or five feet
from the ground, an turned down the hill to
impede the progress of the stormers. To
climb the height at all, even without arms
of any kind, would be an undertaking that
few would care about essaying: what then
must it have been with men encumbered
with muslsets and cartridge boxes, and
obliged 10 dispute every step of the .precipi-
tous and rugged ascent? Murderous show
ers of grape and canister greeted our men
at the onset, and as they toiled unfaltering
through tempest of iron hail heavy fire
of musketry open upon them. Not man
quailed loud shouts they still pressed
upward and onward. At every step our
ranks were thinned; but forward went the
survivors. When within good musket
range, but not until then, was the fire ofthe
enemy returned, and then commenced the
dreadful carnage OF the strife. The Mexi-
can held to their guns with more than their
usual bravery, but nothing could resist the
fierce onset Of the stormers. Over the
breastwork with which the Mexicans had
surrounded the crest of the hill they charged,
and shouting attack the enemy in his very
stronghold The latter now fed panic
stricken; but still they were pursued and
I, i was not until the afr1ghted fugitives had

their flight he national colors of our

enemy, the different regimental flags were
#also planted on the crest, and shouts louder
than ever from the victors rose upon the air !:

SANTA Anna according TO thelatest accounts
was said to be at Orizaba, with some 5000
