One Fault He who will turn a.

to the bes feelings OF the human heart.
WHO has not erred, at least once in his
life? If that fault were not overlook

not many, many thousands have de-
scended? We know not the peculiar
and pressing temptations to which an
other may be exposed. He may have
fought manfully for months against the
sin, and still kept the secret locked in
his bosom. At last he was overcome.
In moment he yielded. He would
give worlds to recall that act. He has
tnourned over it in secret, and repent

sake him? Earth and Heaven jus

Later From nfexicO.

The steamer Fashion, from Brazos,
9th ult., brings later news from the
Army. Most of the intelligence is re-
specting movements of the troops.
Gen. Wool's column was within two
miles of Paras, numbering 1890 men.
They were ordered there TO establish
depot, and levy upon supplies belong
ing to the Mexican government. They
had already taken large quantity Of
-four, wheat and corn.
Gen. Taylor's squadron left Monte
rey for Victoria on the 18th. Gen.
Patterson was TO leave on the 22d with
the Tennessee regiment of cavalry for
Tampico, via. Victoria. The Ala
bama Volunteers, had arrived at Mon
terey. Lieut.. Col. Henry Clay, with
six companies Kentucky Volunteers,
had reached Seralyo.
Phe Mexicans were making success
full exertions to raise troops in all the
small towns near the Rio Grande. -
Captain Stone with detachment of
seventy men, found two hundred Mex
leans at Rance, on the Rio San Juan,
commanded by Capt. Cantron- their
particular object being search. Can
iron was captured. and the muster-roll
Of the company with letters of inssruc-
ton from Ampudia and Paroles; also
a quantity Of blankets and ammunition
was secured. lantron was taken to
Camargo, and imprisoned on the 10th
ultimo.
A Mexican was caught in the act OF
entering the magazine at Camargo,
with the supposed intention Of blow
ing it up. An express had arrived 81
Brazos from Gen. Patterson, stating
that Santa Anna was advancing on Sal
sillo, with the intention to cut off Gen.
eral Worth. -Four hundred and fifty
regulars were to leave Camargo for
Monterey on the Goth.
A passenger 10 the schooner II. 7.
Johnson, at New Orleans. from Tam
pico, states that an attack was made on
the American force at that place, num-
bering about three hundred, by an ad-
vance Of the Mexican cavalry, nearly
seven thousand strong. Tue Ameri-
can forces opened their park OF artil-
lery upon them, when they speedily
