FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.

Our telegraphic communications, as inserted in yes
terday's paper, were somewhat indefinite. In confirm
alton of its intelligence in general, we take the follow
ing from the New York papers:-BOSt. C0ur.
We are IN receipt of the not unexpected intelli
gence Of the toll of the city of Mexico. When the
information first reached New Orleans it was dis.
credited, but a later arrival seems to have confirmed
it.
Our despatch though brief, 1t will be seen is com
prehcnsive. 1t is as follows:
Richmond, Aug. 90, P NJ. The Southern mai
has arrived, aud brings the New Orleans National of
the I'd, which contains the glorious intelligence that
zen. scott and his victorious army entered the city
of Mexico on the 18th of July.
The news was brought by a courier from the city to
Vera Cruz.
After leaving Puebla, General Scott encountered
no opposition at Rio Frio, as was Anticipated. but
found the enemy eight miles this side Of the capital
drawn up In full force to oppose him, under Santa
Anna.
Gen. Scott Immediately gave battle, and for a long
time the field was stoutIy contested. At length the
MeXlcans gave way, and a total rout ensued.
Our loss was three hundred killed and wounded.
The slaughter Of the Mexicans is said to have been
immense.
As soon as the battle was decided, the civil author
tiles of the city came out to meet Gen. Scott, and forth
with capltuIoted. Our troops then took possession Of
the capital, and the Stars and Stripes now float over
the Halls of the Montezumas.
Santa Anna and his officers had had serious quar-
rcls.
The New Orleans papers at first discredited these
reports, but the steamer Washington had arrived with
later dates, which confirmed all. The news had been
read at the head of our troops at Mltamoras.
The yellow fever is on the increase at New Or
leans.
SECOND DESPATCH.
Richmond, Aug, 8. Gen. Scott is Q%uartered in the
city Of Mexico. lie was attacked by the Mexican
army at Rio Frio, where the enemy was put to aight
with a heavy loss. Gen, Scott entered the city on the
18th, and took possession. Both mails from New Or.
leans have come to hand.
From .Mtnnoras. Dates from Matamoras to the
2lth u)t, state that all was quiet along the lines; and
that Il dangerous dlarrhGa was prevalent among the
soldiers.
Latest from Tampico. BY the arrival at New Or
leans, Of the Mary Jane, we have adyices from Tam
pjco to the 26J! ult,
General Toy!or remained at Walnut Springs, as
late as the Il Of July. His whole command mum
bere! seven thousand men. He would march upon
San Louis as soon as reinforced by three thousand
fresh troops,
1t was stated that Gen. Gushing had gone to Slltil-
10, to resume the command of his regiment.
Thu steamer Fashion, with later news, was daily
and hourly expected at New Orleans.

COL. BENTON'S SPEECH.

On our first page will be found the speech
of COL Benton, recently delivered in ST..
Louis. This speech, together with his let.
tiers already published, indicate the object
of the Colonies visit to our State. 1t is a
question which the people of this State
ought to weigh we'll before they decide
upon it, whether or not they will throw
their weight and influence in the anli-slave-
ny scale, being, as they are. shareholders,
and therefore identified with southern in
teres,s and institutions. We care not
what Colonel Benton's professions may be
for the good of the country, or how he
may talk about assuming higher ground
than mere partisan, on this or that ques-
ton, we are perfectly satisfied of the en-
tire selfshness of his present object, and
ask the people to look well before they
adopt his suggestions.

~CAvE JoHNsoN's MAIL.-The tri-
weekly mail between this place and St.
Louis, has settled down to perfect farce,
and is disgrace to the Post Office Depart
ment, and every one connected with it..
The stage arrives regularly on Tuesday,
Thursday, and Saturday, when moi detained
by a pretence Of high water, but in lieu Of
dates within two days from ST. Louis, we
are interested with letters and papers which
have been four days on the route, and fire.
quently longer. The mock speed of the
mail is in character with the attendant
paraphernalia. The wagon is "good of
the kind" and can do as much jolling in
fifty yards as any concern in America,
being sped forward by couple of charg-
ers, who run three times a week from
Rocheport to Glasgow, and back. They
are consequently hard to hold and dart
through our streets, in front of the sound
ing bugle, with the speed of scared snail
or tumble bugll Seriously, the whole
thing is contemplate, and if Mr.. JoHNsoN's
schedule is complied with, he should be re-
moved;-if otherwise, the contractor vio-
lates his contract every trip.
We send copy Of this paper to the St.
Louis Post Master, and to the Post Master
General, with this article marked, and shall
look forward to better arrangement. If
nothing is done. we shall make perma,
nent arrangement for private river mail,
and promise our readers the very latest
intelligence.

FROM CHIHUAHUA.

We have received through the New
Orleans papers, the following Mexican &C.
counts OF the movements Of our chihuahua
army:
Letters have been received in the city OF
Mexico announcing that on the 9Th oil
| April five hundred American troops left
Chihuahua with IA pieces OF artillery and
80 wagons for Parral, a town about so
leagues south, on the road both to Durango
or Parras. The Mexcans say the object
OF the expedition was to break up the State
government established at Parra since the
fall of chihuahua. The moment their ad.
vance was heard the seat Of government
was again removed to place called Guada.
lupe Calvo. Gen. Hereda, with the re-.
mains of his forces, also commenced re-.
treat further south, but had only commenc.
ed it when he learned that the Americans
had again returned to Chihuahua, after hav.
ing marched south twenty odd leagues
This retrogade movement is said to have
been occasioned by news received from
New Mexico unpi opitious to American
arms, and also to news that Gen. Taylor
had withdrawn from Saltillo.
We see no reason 10 doubt the fact that
our troops had marched and countermarch.
ed as is alleged-the flight OF the Mexcans
shows the advance, and their hating indi.
Gates that Col. Doniphan has changed his
plans, from motives unknown to US. In
the city Of Mexico they are expecting our
troops to invade Durango from Chihuahua.
At one time it was said they were to ad.
vance in three divisions, and this body Of
500 men may have been one of them. In
the meantime, the miserable people OF Chi
huahua are praying the general govern
ment for two or three thousand regular
ltoops to enable them TO make head against
us.
The papers say that our commander in
Chihuahua has got into difficulty with
Messrs. Potts, English merchants, who
have been insuted and absurd.
Gen. Garcia Condo writes from Durango,
in selfdelence, long report of the battle
OF Sacramento, in which he commanded the
cavalry. He blames not only the coward.
ice Of the troops who could stand before ar.
| tillery, but the incapdcily of the chief in
command. The Republican, publishes a
sketch of this battlefield, IN which the
Mexicans were SO dsgraceluly logged.
The expedition OF Gen. Kearney, from Santa
Fe to the Pacific, seems more like an adventure
OF romance than military reality. The descent
Of Col. Doniphan upon chihuahua resembles a
bright episode ia the narrative Of an epic poem.
The achievements OF Gen. Scott are full OF mill.
iary skill and practical science; whilst the battle
Of Buena Vista, upon which more was s,aked
than upon any other, when the results Of cam.
paign and the lives of all in the valley Of the Rio
Grande hung upon desperate issue, reads like
the inventions Of Milton. He who gained the
first has also gained the greatest pictory. and his
reputation for courage has been equalled by his
fame for abilities Picayune.

ILLINOIS VOLUNTEERS.

The third regiment of Illinois volunteers
arrived in New Orleans on the 10Th inst,
from Vera Cruz, on their way home. They
were passengers on the Mary Kingsldnd.
The Evening Bulletin says of them:
They really are Trough and Ready" set,
so far as the "outward man" is concerned. Their
tattered garments, shapeless hats, long boards
and moustaches, bronzed visages and general ap.
pearance. were all evidences Of the hard service
and exposure they had experienced the "tented
field" Notwithstanding their rough looks, how
ever, good humor, order, and decorous conduct.
pervaded the whole body. In subsequently,
speaking to Major General Patterson, respecting
them. he observed: "Those men are worth their
weight in gold; they march without baggage wag.
ons-wthout tents-throw themselves down
any. where for the night, and there they are, always
on hand, at moments notice, and ready for
anything" This regiment belonged to General
Shields brigade, and distinguished itself at Cerro
Gordo. They are now on the way home, where
they will, no doubt, receive tina, cordial wei.
come, to which they are so Justly entitled.
