Wednesday, Nov. 3, IS45.

The Wing State Central Committee, and
the whig papers regard the result Of the
late election in this State as Mexican
victory-as the voice Of the people in op-
position to the prosecution Of the war, and
as full justification Of the reasonable
course Of Corwin, Rebb, Tilden, and 9TH
ers. This news will unquestionably be
gratifying 10 the Mexicans, and they will
take comfort ut the thought that ''the sym.
pathies Of one entire party" in this State
are with them; and they will take new
life and new courage at the announcement
of the result, conveyed to them through the
columns Of the federal papers, to hold out
and protract the struggle until their friends
in tho National Legislature shall force the
President to "call the army back" by with:
holding supplies, enabling them to make
peace upon their own terms. But unfor.
tunately for the Mexieans and their allies
the result does not show that the course Of
Corwin and the federal leaders in regard to
the war, has received the sanction Of the
people. True, they have a majolity in
both branches Of the Legislature, but it is
also true that the democrats have major.
ity over the wings in the poular vote Of
1868; and this the federalists claim is sus.
tanning Corwin, and isis severe rebuke to
the advocates Of the war;"

concentrated fire upon the gate, where our
troops were, in the hopes Of driving them
out, but in this they were much mistaken,
although we had but little cover. Here it
was that the lamented Capt. Dunn fell
mortally wounded; the death Of no man in
our army has been more sincerely re-
GREETED than his. @
Under cover Of the night, Gen. Quit.
mans column erected breastwork, and
put into position battery of two lbs. one
SO. s.poundj howitzer, one "a pound how.
ilzer and one "a pound howilzer, intending
to warm up the citadel in the morning.
Gen. Worth's column got its guns in a po-
sltion to rake every thing in his vicinity.
and after night 1t. Hagner threw a few
shot and she'll into the city. which no doubt
intimidated the enemy very much, as they
had taste of this at Vera Cruz.
THE ENTRANCE INTO THE CAPITOL.
After the results and successes of the day,
Gen. Scott intended, on the morning of the
18th, to make lodgment on the "New
Passo," (entering by the San Cosme gate)
and lombard the city, and for this purpose
the balance Of Gen. Twiggs' division was
ordered from Ell Piedad to the support Of
Gen. Worth.
On the night of the 18th, Santa Anna
evacuated all his positions and retreated
from the city, having had more than one
half of his army killed and wounded or ta-
ken prisoners-among the latter, Gen.
Bravo, with his staff, at Chapultepec. San.
to Anna found that'if he fought US on the
18th, he would hardly have body-guard
/ left to cover his retreat.
Early in the morning the two columns
took up their march Gems. Quitman and
Smith, at the head Of their commands, en-
tared the Grand National Plaza at Z o.
clock: The column was formed in the
Plaza, and, by order of Gen. Quitran, Ii.
National Standard Of the Cerro Gorde
Division, while the command came to /,
present, was flung to the breeze over tn,
National Palace, and it now triumphant,
waves over the HALLS OF THE MoNTEzU
T MAS, and, with one Of our national poets
we may say
"Our flag is there, our flag Is there
Wehail it with three loud huzzas!
/ Our flag is there, our flag is there
Behold its glorious stripes and stars"
Gen. Worth's command halted four OF
five squares from the Plaza, where Col
Garland was wounded.
About o'clock, Gen. Scott and Staff,
in full feather, escorted by the Cavalry, en-
tered the city, amidst the huzzas Of the
soldiery on all sides. As he entered, the
band Of the I'd Dragons, mounted, inter
ested the staring crowds with Hail Colum
bia. As the escort entered the Crane
Plaza, the band moved the petriotism ofthe
whole Of US to little higher pitch, by the
good, old fashioned Yankee Doodle!

CHAPTER TENTH AND LAST.

One brigh. morning in spring, carriage
stopped before the prison-gates, and lady
and gentleman descended, and entering,
passed on 10 the cell where poor Melville
was confined. A number Of persons had
gathered about the carriage, attracted by its
richness, elegance and simplicity. "Whose
is thata" inquired one, "Why don't you
know2" cried another, sits Judge Brooks,
or rather his lady's, for they say he bought
it for her." "His lady'ss you can't mean
his wife!" "Yes do though" and pulling
q morning paper from his pocket, read in a
distinct tone, with slightly perceptible
flourish in it, the following announcement:
MARR1En-Last evening at the "St. Charles, "
by the Rev. J-B-, the Hon. CHARLra
M1LLER Books, of this city, to Miss FRANCES

Just as he had concluded, the pair re-
turned; the bride had tear In her eye bur
smile, on her lip. The door was CLOSED
on the twain; away rolled the carriage ane
VIC saw them no more. They live yet
and happily too, as this wicked world will
allow them. 1t is said that couple o
miniatures are the delight of the whole
house, not excluding Amelia, for although
she has become Mrs. Somebody, we dom
remember who, yet she confesses to sor
o. lingering, stubborn attachment to thu
Judge, while Frances invariably retorts
that Amelia is welcome to the Judge if sh,
will only leave her ''the widows son. ,
But for the miniatures-to be plain, the,
conduct like parcel of fools about them
calling one ofthem Amelia and the othe
Charles. Just to think Of it! Grown peo

childish things! .~-

Colonel Mcintosh.

The brave Col Mcintosh. who Seala
his devotion to his country with his ElSss
blood at the city Of Mexico, had, when he
left the United States, fourteen scars from
wounds received in battle. In one ,of. tho
battles, during the late war with EnglapA
he received q wound in the neck, Whiek %,
contracted the cords as to draw his head 70
one side. At the battle of Palo Altpt .he
rushed into the conflict at the head of kn
regiment, and was torn from bis horse By
a party Of Mexicans; one ofihem tbrHssA
bayonet into his mouth, cutting out roP.
Of teeth, the point passing out near the OF;
another cut him upon the side Of the meek
with lance OF. sword, seyeripg Che eQsaf.
This wound was not on the same side thSa
was wounded in the last war, and sinGulaf
as the fact is, the result was to draw k6
head up straight He remained OF duty
some time, when, finding his wounds much
improved, he repaired to Mexico, and ..
gain entered the service Of his country. II
will be regretted that at the late battles, n
which he took an active part. he recsifed
two balls in his body, which finally tsrpi.
mated his life. A braver officer, Or . hsl.
ter man, could scarce be found. He" did
as the soldier wishes to die, for bis country.
and in the arms Of victory. St0iesnda. I.

IssrRUcrloNs TO GEN. Scorr.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Bal,i.
more Sun under date Of the 26th, writes:
Sufficient limitations have been thrown out
in regard to the orders recently sent to
General Scott, to convince me that he has
been directed-1st: to trouble himself no
longer about truces, armistices, negotiations,
or protocols; 20: to leave undis,urbed the
shadow Of government now at Queretare;
Sd: to prepare for permanent occupation
and for tranquilizing the country; 4th: to
disarm the whole population of the city
and country on the road from Vera Cruz
to Mexico, and break up and destroy their
arms; and 5th: to levy contributions upon
the principal cities and States.

c. The Mexico Congress was to as
semble ut Queretaro, forty leugues north OF
the City, on the 5th of October. A letter
from an English merchant president of
that committee states that many Mexicans,
and among them the most intelligent and
most rational part Of the community, are
no doubt inclined to peace; and we should
think that after the continued defeats they
have met with for the last eighteen months,
even those who have been for war hitherto,
will see the folly ofpersevering in contest
which must inevitably bring ruin and mise.
ry upon their country.

Mexican Matters--GenerA tAae4s

A correspondent Of La Patsie sslaiDse
some interesting anecdotes of Passdm aad
other Mexican leaders, which ara taasael
ed for the N. Y. Tribune as follows.: M

himself in costume very different from
that he is accustomed to wear, and-thss o.
tained his wish. After the expatsiaaeA
General had observed Santa Anna fos q
moment, he turned to the person who apss
companied him, saying, :.'What will be-
think now4 Will he say that he hasgaine4
or lossP His companion replied: asNo,
Santa Anna never loses; his generals and
the officers Under his orders lose, buf; AA
is never more than locker on-on such o.
casions." After this singular visit Gene.
raj Paredes retired to his house, where he
had been concealed; some Of his friesSa
came there and asked him: "Buts finally,
General, what are your intentionsTt- 10
this Paredes replied: "My intentions are

several influential men in European -Goys
ernments, asking them to intervene in The
question pending between the United States,
and Mexico, and telling them that ffoma
that might result the establishment Of. O.
monarchy in our country. But though:
they received my ideas, they replied: ihas.
the nations Of Europe could not take such
a step as wished for, except the Mexican:
nation should definitely ask, for II; and
since, as things are, there. is no way, of
moving in the matter, shall retire tran.

In the city Of Mexico they say. thsts ~.

and officers Of the valorous army Of. Santa
