057lu speaking OF the death Of Col Ran
som, the Semi-Weekly Eagle truthfully re-
marks:-"The horrors of war are not all eX-
hibted on the battle field: there, it is true,
death stalks forth, and destruction "walketh
at noon days" but it is in the quiet and peace
ful solitude of home, that we hear the wall of
desolation, the cry ofanguish which wrings
the hearts of widowed wives and orphan
children"

QPLt. Col. MARTIN SCoTT, of the regu-
lar Army, and whose name appears in the list
Of officers killed in the late battles, was ma
tive of Vermont. He was killed at the
storming of Chepultepec. Gen. Worth lost
600 men in this battle-or nearly one third
Of the number he had under his command
when he went into the fight. This is larger
proportion, we think, than Bonaparte lost in
the famous battle of Waterloo.
