JrETTE GaAY, one of the Teachers in the De-
partment for the Blind, Of the Virginia lnstitu-
ton.
The object Of Mr.. Cars visit TO Berkeley
county, was to make known to the citizens Of TINS
part of Virginia, The ample means placed by the
nunficence of our Legislature in the hands OF the
Visitors Of the Institution, for educating all the
poor Blind Children Of the Commonwealth, at
the expense Of the State.
We are gratifed to learn that Mr.. Gray sue
ceeded in inducing the parents of teo blind chill
dren in this county TO send them to the lnstitu-
ton, these being all that he could hear Of during
his short stay in this place. At the request Of
Mr. Gray, we make the announcement, that if
there are any other Blind or Deaf Mute Child
dren in this section Of the State, the Visitors
Of the Institution win be happy 10 receive them.
All needful information in relation TO the lu-
stitution, be obtained by letters addressed to
the Rev. J. ID. TYLER or DIR. J. C. MERRYLATT,

From The Dipio del Gobierno.

AT half part O'Clock this morning. the A
merlcans attacked the position Of the mill of
III Rey, close to thu fortress of Chapultepec
His numerous and hiave columns were, how
ever, repulsed three times by our valiant sol
diers, who this day gave brilliant proofs OF
their patriotism and bravery. More than a
thousand OF the enemy remained on the field
OF battle, and on our side the loss has been less
tnan one-hali the number, having 10 lament
the death Of the gallant Col. Don Lucas Bal
deras, and Gen. Don Antonio de Leon being
wounded, together with several other distin-
guished chiefs and officers.
The "traitor," Santa Anna, commanded in
person the column which forced the Ameri
cans TO retreat. taking with them, without
doubt, the convlc, ion that II Is only through
rivers OF blood that they can penetrate the CT
ty OF Mexico. and that all events they will
there find their sepulchre.

CRY OF MEXICO. Sent II. 1874


dence withheld the rains and gave the YAM
KEGS fair weather for their operations, while
Santa Anna deserted them in their extremity,
and gave up the city without even making
terms for them. The latter has gone no one
knows whittier. Some contend that he is on
his way to the coast, with the intention of
leaving the country; others say that he has
gone towards Queretaro; while many think
that he is lurking about Guadalupe or San
Chrstobal, within few miles of this, yet with
only small force of cavalry at his command.
His wife, who has been living all the while
at the house of his particular friend Mackin-
tosh, has gone out in the direction of San
Chrstobal in search Of him. Santa Anna, just
before he left the city, grossly insulted Gen'l
Torres, who commanded at the Belen gate. for
deserving his post. 1t is also said that he has
quarrelled with Lombardini. These are old
tricks OF the tyrant-throwing the blame upon
others to cover his own shameless conduct
Lieut.. Morris, of the 9Th Inf, has died OF
the wound he received at the hard-fought bat
tie OF MollRo, and it is thought extremely
doubtful whether Lieut.. Ernst, of the 9th,
wounded at the same time, can recover do
not learn that any other officers are consider
ed as in a dangerous condition.

We have accounts from Mexico, brought in
by Frenchmen and other foreigners, to the eff
feet that Santa Annals loss at Fl Melino was
much more severe than any one here had an
ticipated. They say that during the afternoon
of the 9Th no less than 1900 wounded men
came into the city, while the number OF killed
was over 500. The slaughter from the bate
res of Colonel Duncan and Captain Drum
must have been terrific. Santa Anna, it is
said, would have laid all the blame of the de-
feat upon General Leon, but that officer, un-
fortunately for him, died He has since torn
the epauletts from the shoulders OF Col. Mi
guel Andrade, commander OF the celebrated
regiment of Hussars, accuses HIM OF every
thing, has thrown him into prison, and denied
him all communication lie must have some
one TO break out upon.
Everything looks quet to-day, but the Mex
leans are busily employed in fortlfyIng at ev-
ry point At ChapuItepec they can be seen
al work while they are also repairing the dam
age done at Ell Moline and other points on
that line On the Piedad road they have strong
works, while at the Nino Perdldo and San An
tonic Abad entrance to the city they are also
fortlfying with the greatest vigor. Gen. Pill
lows division, as also Col. Rlley's brigade, at
tached to that OF General Twiggs, occupy the
village of La Piedad and neighborhood, in
plain sight and in fact under the guns of the
enemy. General Worth remains here IN Ia
cubaya, but he is sending all has sick and
wounded to Mixcoac, out of the range of the
guns of Chapu!tepec No one knows what
point will be first attacked, but this question
will soon be determined. The next blow
| struck will be hard. and all hope decisive. Il
must read strange, the story that some OF
5000 men have set themselves down before a
strongly fortified city of over 200, 900 inhab-
itants, with anarmy of at least Is 900 men to
defend it but the tale is true one, and the
proud capital of Mexico must fall.

casting cannon & other apparatus were found,
was entirely demolished, and after ascertain
ing this, Gen. Scott not wishing TO hold the
position, ordered all the forces to retire The
whole affaiR, as a military movement, is Sc
verely criticised by many of our officers. They
contend that no result has been gained COM
mensurate with the immense loss we have sus-
tanned in the battle This is matter do
not feel myself qualified to discuss, but it
must be certain that the morale upon the Mex
leans, OF defeat so disgraceful and so disas-
trous, must be important. They have now,
lit is o'clock in the afternoon,) returned to
their positions; and if Santa Anna was on the
ground as is stated, and can find no one TO lay
the blame upon, he may twist the whole at
fair INTO vlctorv-oH paper. 1t will not be
the first time he mas done this thing.
Since | commenced this letter | have been
out endeavoring to obtain full list of the kill
ed and wounded officers, but so far have been
unable Knowing the deep anxiety felt in the
United States by the families of all, this shall
be my first care. The entire loss in General
Worth's division, out of some 800 or 2,e00
that went into action, will not fall much short
of 500. The Dragons and Gen. Cadwala-
der's brigade did not suffer SC severely in CON-
parson What the next movement is TO be
no one knows, but it is thought the city will
be attacked Immediately.
