From the Missionary Station in Mexico.
The American troops, it was said, went to
Mexico in the double character of soldiers
and missionaries, Bibles were considered
as much a part of their accoutrement as car
fridge boxes. All they could not Kill with
balls from the one, they were to convert with
texts from the other. Recent advices from
character, for it seems these missionaries
have been compelled TO do what will proba-
bly, be regarded by the churches at home
with which they are connected, as far worse
than the voluntary outstanding of polyga-
my, which missionaries at some other sta
lions have done. There may, however, be a
difference of opinion about this.
The following account Of their outward
conversion 10 catholicism, shows what mere
machines these missionary soldiers are from
the highest cut-throat to the lowest muir
derer:
ave yesterday had the pleasure of con-
versing with First Sergeant Willis, of Capt.
MAYORS company of Philadelphia Rangers,
late from Jalapa-he having arrived at home
on Tuesday. Sergeant Willis confirms the

forced kneeling of the American troops to the
Catholic host, by order of Col. Childs, mill
tary governor of Jalapa. The orders were
issued TO the officer of the guard and to the
officer of the day, Col. Roberts, of the second
regiment of Pennsylvania volunteers. Both
regulars and volunteers, officers and men,
were compelled to obey orders at the peril of
their lives Is the host passed by, the men
were brought to a present arms, then dropped
on one knee, the bayonet falling to the ground,
the butt Of the musket reversed, under the
right arm, while the left hand lifted the cap
from the head and hung it upon the cock of
the musket! The men were, during the
whole morning, drilled TO this ceremony by
the officer of the guard. The men protested.
The officer of the guard replied, My orders
are to drill you to the performance OF this
duty. If you refuse to perform it, you know
the consequences" Col. Roberts kneeled
with the rest.
1.-THE second regiment of Pennsylvania
volunteers, composed principally of farmers
from the mountains, were indignant beyond
expression, at having been subjected to the
obedience of such an order. 1t is with them
and others, Sergeant Willis says, a standing
topic Of exciting conversation in the ranks Of
the American army."-P hilada. Sum-.
New HAMPsHRE.-At the recent election
in this State, Liberty party, as was the case
last year, played the "Giveand Take Game"
its members voting for Wilson, the Wing
candidate in the Sd Congressional district,
while the Wings in return supported Tuck,
the Liberty party candidate in the LIST district.
Both were elected, and in view of the sue
cess Of the latter, a correspondent Of the
Emancipator is in ecstacy, because, as he
says, Tuck "goes into Congress the FIRST
LIBERTY REPREsENTATIvE!" 1t is to be
hoped that the party, in its Civilizations
over the first Liberty Representative" will
not entirely forget the services of the "frst
Liberty Senator" Colonel Cilley.
The identity of the party in New Hamp-
shire is now entirely destroyed it lends its
own candidates, and borrows from the Wings
and Independents, Some of the papers rep
resent Tuck as an Independent. He was
formerly a member of the old Democratic
party, but has labored side by side with
Hale to build up the Independents, and it is
certainly a reflection upon his common sense
to suppose that he has left them for the Ii.
ber,y party. If he has, he will make fl
representative for them, that's all. The par.
ty may think he is one of them, for they are
so mixed up, its members hardly know WHIT
is who. They are very much in the condi
ton of a certain man who went to sleep tn,
posscssor of a horse and cart. When h,
awakened, the horse was gone. Not being
confident as 10 who he was, he exclaimed
" If this is me, I've lost a horse; if it ain
me I've found a cart"
