Il dreadful Uoand.-Mr. Kendall, wri-
ting from Jalapa, relates the following:
There are occasional deaths among our
wounded men--but the most of those iniu-
red at Cerro Gordo are doing well. Speak
ing Of " lnnded men, | viii relate one little
incident. When Gen. Shields was brought
out from the sp, where lie was wounded
to a place where several others had been
taken, | happened to be present. After the
wound of the gallant general had been dress
cd, the wants of the othecs--perhaps there
were some ten or fifteen of them-were at
tended TO. Among them was one stout II
linois man, named Ford, the half of whose
head at least appeared to have been carried
away by heavy cannon ball. One of our
best surgeons, DR.. Wright, went up to the
poor fellow when his turn came, and TO my
establishment, commenced clipping the shat
Tered portions of his face, jaw and ear which
still hung to him, afterwards dressed the
wound as well as circumstances would adj
nit. say wound; it was worse than
wonnd, and description Of it would be 100
horrible.
The battle was now over, and every no.
mcnt they were bringing il some fresh vic
tim Of the result of recent strife. 1t seemed
to me that others needed the services of the
good surgeon more than the unfortunate in
dividual in question-his case was certain
Iy hopeless. There were arms and legs to
amputatc, balls to extract, and the writings
of the wounded showed how much they
needed the surgeons offices; yet he contin-
ucd with the Illinois man until he patched
his shattered head and bo,:nd il up as well
as he was able. This was on the 18th OF
April.
Two or three days since, when nearly
month had passed away, met DR.. Wright
here In the streets Of Jalapa, and asked him
how long the man in question lived. III
ever was astonished my life, it was when
he told me that he was'weI and hearty
A portion of his face, his Jaws ON one side,
and his ear are gone, but the man will soon
be strong enough to shoulder his musket
again, and he is said Is be more anxious
than ever to have another turn with the
McXicans.

Dan Marbles LdSf.--When our friend
was in town, short time since, he related
to us, says the n. Y. Spirit the following
story, which excited cur risibles not lit
tie:
John Smith is known to be very fast
talker, and sometimes will exaggcrate a lit
tie. In describing the blowing up of steam
boat on the Mississippi, he stated that he
was travelling by one, and landed at IIele
ma, (Arkansas,) TO drop some letters in the
Post Office; hearing a loud explosion, and
turning, he saw the air filed with arms, legs,
heads, &c. The Captain said he, 'as fine
a fellow as ever lived, short thick set man,
weighed about 200, was blown one hundred
and nine feet in the air, Coming down, he
struck in the sand with such force, that he
went entirely out of sight-was completely
buried! The pilot, a very tall man, seven
feet two, was blown about ten feet higher
than the Captain, with the wheel in his
hand, and struck within few feet Of the
Captain, up TO his arm-pits. Still holding
on to the wheel, he cried have done my
duty, and can do no moren The second
clerk, after taking a flight Of one hundred
and fifty feet, Il knew him well, as | saw
him sailing i'll the air. for had drank with
him not ten minutes before,) came down
through the roof of shoemaker's shop, and
landed on the floor close by the shoemaker,
who was at work. lie jumped up to 60 to
the assistance of the other sufferers, when
the imam of wax demanded FIVE dollars for
the damage done 10 his roof. Too high,
replied the clerk; never paid more than two
dollars and half in my life, and Zee done
the same Thing often"

NEVER WEARY.
BY T. HEMP AID.
Never McarY. never weary.

Never weary, never weary,
LET thy heart be bold and strong;
Be thy motto love and meekness,
Heed the right and hate the wrong;
What though human eye can see not
Half the woe that is thy share
What though human heart may care not
For the load that thou dost bear?
Never weary, never weary
Midst the war of life, the toll
In the futures twilight ocean
Lies some happy, azure isle,
On whose fair and peaceful bosom,
BY whose calm and summer sea,
Known to God and angels only,
Blooms a tree of life for thee
In thy LIES fresh morn remember,
In thy youths delicious May,
Soon shall come thy cold December
With liGes sere and blasted sky.

S5ccaring al na Enemy. Picayune
gives an anecdote which shows that the vic
try Of Cerro Gord0 was won about as much
by swearing and clustering as by shooting.
Col Harvey had taken and occupied some
heights commanded by the encmy's works,
from which they wished to dislodga him.
His force had become so small by the
slaughter and the care Of the wounded, that
their purpose could easily have been enec-
ted if il had been pushed. They came ON
with great force and noise of trumpets, and
halted within muaket shes when, says the
writ6r,-
Col. Harvey improved the occasion to
pay off 4 regular tgioi1 Upon aseTr. His
men were part ally concealed behind the
brow of a hill, yet he himself was in plain
view of the hostile host; and now he com
menced harangue which would have scrv-
ed for an army of 10000 men, appointed
every way with cannon, with cavalry. with
mortars, and with all the appliances Of war.
Don't shoot vetw shouted he to his little
band, and his lungs We're none Of the weak
est; "wait till they come closer, and then
give them h-ll! Don't draw a trigger, |
tell you-double charge those cannons,
there, with grape and canister; and wait
till give the word; | don't want one OF
them ever to get back alive" In this strain
he went on, intcrlarding his battle speech
with a few more of a stronger kind OF adj
iectiyes than care about repeating. The
effect was glorious. Not a word of the ha-
ranguc, which mighthave been heard a mile,
was lost upon the MeXicans, not quarter
of tina! distance of; and as some Of them un-
derstood English. and at once interpreted
the speech, especially about double loading
the cannons with grape and canister, to
the commanding officer, he very prudently
wheeled his men and marched back the
way he came without firing a gun! 1t is
needless to say that Col. Harvey had moth
in. in the shape of cannon with him-i
was the strongest kind Of "bluff game
he was playing und the sequel shows tina
he won at it.
