GEN. WORTH AT PUEBLA.-ADvANCE
OF THE ARMY.-HERRERA ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF MEXICO.--CAPTURE
OF A TRAIN, &c.
At an early hour this morning the
steamship Palmetto arrived from Vera
Cruz, bringing dates from that city to
the 29d, and from Jalapa to the 9lst.
We are in receipt of u full cores
pondence; but have only time to give
the following brief extracts at this late
hour.
Our correspondent 'Mustang' writes
from Jalapa, under date of the 2lst
inst:
"We have positive information Of
the arrival Of Gen. Worth's command
at Puebla. On the approach Of our ar
my to the city, Gen. Santa Anna, who
was there at the time, supplying his
troops with some necessaries, sent a
detachment TO engage Gen. Worth un-
til he could procure his supplies; but
the encounter was soon over, and San
ia Anna and his army compelled 7 fy.
In the skirmisk there were four Mexi.
cans killed-our loss none He has re-
treated towards the city Of Mexico
One report says he is at Santa Martin
"a town 90 miles from Puebla; but it
is generally conceded that his main
force, upwards Of 10000 men, have
gone to Rio Frio, where he is prepa-
ring for another engagement. The lat
ter place is SAID to be a naturally strong
point. and can be made TO offer strong
resistance. but if Cero Gordo could not
resist the brigade Of Gen. Twigs, what
position can avail the Mexican chief
tainw
"The train looked for the past few
days has arrived, together with Capt's.
Walker and Ruff, with their commands.
The army here will move four miles on
the Perote road tomorrow evening, and
on Sunday take up its line Of march,
No stop will be made at Perote. If
we should not halt at Puebla, to hear
the result OF some more propositions Of
peace from the American government,

latestup to departure. The Mexicans
have a report here, which is credited
by the Americans generally, that Her
rera is elected President Of Mexico.
and that he IS disposed to treat fol-
peace. The diligence from Puebla
is looked for momentarily, which will
give US tho correct position Of affairs al
the capital. If it should arrive in time
to overtake the line towards Vera Cruz
| will send an express to overhaul it.
The reason assigned by the Mexicans
for Herrera being willing to make peace
with US, is, that he desires 10 prevent
our taking possession Of the capital Of
the republic, which he says will be the
inevitable result if the Mexicans do moi
come to terms. Shall we be delayed
by soothing promises and friendly pro-
fessions, or shall we march on, con
quering and to conquer? hope the
word will be "Onward!" and not wait
until they have placed the capital in a
proper state Of defence, and then bid
us defiance. sDelays are dangerous
and may cause US 10 loose many gal
liant officers and soldiers. Herrera nc
doubt, is favorably disposed; bu. can
he control the factions? Once in pos.
session of the city Of Mexico we can
treat on what terms we please.
The army is under marching orders
for tomorrow evening at 3 o'clock
Gen. Twiggs's column will move at the
hour, if no unforeseen circumstances in,
terfere. Nothing further from Gems.
Worth and Quitman, except that they
were resting from the fatigues Of the
march in Puebla.
Gen. Shields had an attack of pleu-
risy two nights ago, but is recovering
from the effects of it, and also his
wound. He expects to be able to
leave for the United States about the
10th of next month.
Capt. Walker is encamped with his
recruits close TO the town. 1t was gen.
orally supposed he would be arrested
for tho course he pursued in reference
to a guerrilla party he came in contact
with. But | understand his course is
approved of. Tho alcalde Of Santa
Fs, who had been harboring the BAN
ditti, and in whose possession the prop
erty and clothing Of the murdered dra-
goons were found, had to share the
same fate as those who committed the
murder. Served him right.

ably TO the invitation," he says, (Which was ud-
dressed to us in common with a large number OF
physicians and journalists, we were present at
the exhumation of body that had been embalm-
ed after the method Of Gannal. This took place
in the cemetery of Pere La Chaise, and we were
attracted by no ordinary feeling Of mere curos-
ity. A recent report to the Academy of Medi-
cine had called in question the reality OF this
discovery, supposed indispntably established. A
public defiance had been thus given to this cele-
brated embalmer, who was not slow in taking up
the glove thus thrown to him. We found on
the spot large concourse of curious spectators !;
but the family would not consent to admit more
than six physicians, out Of some more than
hundred ind fifty who came to ascertain the re-
suit Of this curious exhumation. The body in
question, embamed In 1874, was found in a per-
feet state of preservation. Thus have failed,
therefore, these inexpcable efforts of this learn
ed body, after so short time, to injure the rep
utation Of discovery extoled By their own pub
lshed testimony.

o! TINT our RAwsrL now were here
Whose happy hearts and voices cheer
The sweet return oil lovely spring:
To listen to the Robins lay,
And watch him while he upward scars;
To ramble every sunny day,
O'er hill aud dale TO gather fowors.
How would his soul with rapture swell
And beam from those expressive eyes
While glowing face and tongue would tell,
Each new deligh, that heart desires.
But no dear ioped one, thou art goae,
These scenes for thee possess churms--
Unheedcd now affections tone,
That used to thee arms.
The smile, the kiss, the wlrm embrace,
No more reflects loves glowing flame
For thou art gone, and vacant space
Returns the echo oil thy name.
Dereaved parents, n fo,bear!
Nor barb that arrows point anew;
Thy wounded hearts, In mercy spare
Revoke that wish, and grief subdne.
With eye Of faith direct thy sight
To world above, whore angels dwell,
In golden beams Of glorious Light
Hear yc! that heavenly music's SWELL
Behold that smiling infant band,
Whose faces shine dvinely fair
With golden crown and harp 10 hand,
lhy chera6 6oy has joined that choir:
Has learned the song of love TO siag
EnIsptuted shout the Saviour's praise
Celestial scenes new transports bring,
AS zach successive meet his gaze.
You would not wrong that little one,
Nor dash his cup of bliss away,
Though heart Tor him may fondy yearn--
U! do not wish his earthly stay.
Before that bright and dazzling throne.
