A HAPPY MEETING. Some months ago n
long account was published in many of the
papers, ola young man living in the vi
cinity of Worcester Mass. who was either
lost or stolen from his parents nearly 30 years
ago, when he was only or 4 years of age
whose only recollection ofthc matter was, that
he was taken from Il large and thickly settled
place, (Hbaly, ms he has always supposed &
carried he knew not where-that after stroll
ing through the country some years with Il
company of vagrant Indians or Negroes, with
whom he suffered almost incredible hardships
having on one occasion narrowly escaped
being murdered by one ofthcir number--he
finally escaped from them at Providence, Il.
!. and after living in one place and another,
located in New England village, lin Grafton
Mass.) where he was married about ten years
ago, and has since resided. lie has for many
years, called himself and been known by the
name of Abraham Vest.
A correspondent of the Albany Evening
Journal says: That the above account fell into
The hands Of an aged couple in the town of
Ontario, Wayne county, N. y. who, having
lost two children about the period mention
ed, felt peculiar interest in this case; and the
Postmasters Of Ontario aud New England
village opened n correspondence on the sub
Jcct. The result oft is, that the friends of
MIR Vest (who is poor) contributed the means,
aud he has just been out 10 see his supposed
parents.
His Journey ,cnS successful! The moment
the mother saw her long lost child she faint
ed. But the more cautious son, anxious to
ascertain TO n certainty whether these were
indeed his parents, required unmislakable
proofs. The mother, with mothers memo
ry, described the mark upon his back, and
the scar of the scald upon his foot lie could
no longer doubt and the scene that followed
may he better imagined Than described, The
parents who supposed themselves childless,
reoiced over the ''son that was found" and
the fat.ed calf was indeed killed. The son,
who was supposed to be an orphan, rcjoiced
to find his parents; even in their old age. He
also nscertained that his real name was JOHN
NJ. WILSON, and his age about 81 years.
At the time ofthe separation Of the parents
and chiIdrenfor sister yet remains untound)
the father was somewhat dissipRtcd and this
was one cause ofthe calamity probably. The
son has for several years been n useful and
highly respectable member of the Baptist
Church. How was his heart rejoiced to find
both his parents pious members of the same
communion! The writer saw and read let
ter from the mother, which the son was car
ryng to his wile--aud new daughter-in-law.
1t was u most touching and atfectlonatc opistle
from one who, after the trosts of nearly 90
winters had passed over her, had again found
new objects of affection. The only thing
wanting to fill their cup of happiness is, the
restoration of the Iong-lost daughter. 1t
is the intention of Mr. Vest, alas MIR Wilson,
to publish hereafter in pamphlet form an ac-
count otliS somewhat eventtul and romantic
history.

The HEROES OF MONTEREY. Just one
year ago there marched through orr streets
as noble and splendid body of men as ever
went forth TO battle. They were about nine
hundred strong. The men were in the vigor
OF youthful manhood, and as in perfect order
and with military precision they paraded
through our city, the admiration OF our peo-
pie broke forth in loud applause of the gallant
array. This was the first Tennessee regi-
Inent, under the heroic veteran Col. Camp
bell. They left our city fresh from their own
happy homes in the mountains and by the riv
or sides in heaIthful Tennessee, full of hope,
ambition and patriotism; they departed ia
cheerful spirits and with impatient ardor for
the scene of war.
On Friday last the whole ofthis galIantreg-
inenll. whose history we have thus briefly
skctchcd, arrived in our city. 1t numbers
Just three hundred and fifty, about one third
the force with which it Jeff. And this loss it
las sustained in II twelve months campaign.
1t las averaged the loss of 50 men month";

FIRE, AND MAN BURNT TO DEATH.

On Sunday morning last, about 3 o'clock,
the Saw Mill owned 10y Mr. John Drummond.
situated on the Magog, about two miles a.
hove the Factory bridge, was destroyed by
fire, and ayoung man by tic name Of
John Crawford, persisted in the flames. "A
coroner's Inquest was held on the remains
on Monday, and verdict Of accidental death
returned. Tho origin of the fire is involved
in some mystery. On the inquiry before the
Coroner it appeared that Crawford, Elijah
Somers, and Michael Burns and his wife,
were at the mill together the previous night
about o'clock; that they had been 10 Shcr-
brooke during the afternoon, and with the
exception of Crawford, had been drinking
liquor; that liquor was frequently offered to
Crawford, but that he uniformly refused it.
Both Burns and Somers had with them Il
bottle ofwhiskey when they returned 10 the
mill. Burns and his wife started for home
between 9 and 10, leaving Somers and Craw-
ford at the mill. About 10 o'clock Somers,
after giving Crawford "A match to light can
die, left him and went home. There was n
stove in The mill, and it is presumed that
Crawford, being thoroughly wet, built up a
fire to dry his clothes, and that the building
must have caught either from the stove, pipe,
or candle, although it was testified that tho

In a letter published in the papers, he
states he had been industriously organizing
guerilla parties. He had issued manifesto
to the nation, but no copy Oft has been re-
cevcd in this country. 1t was TO be pub
lished on the goth. An account of his opera

In this he boasts largely ofwhat he has done,
but does not say much ofthe future.
The Mexican Government was thinking
of some measures to release the American
prisoners in the Capital
Et RcpubltcdnO was again trying to excite
the fears ofthe people of the designs of the

at work TO change the form of government.
The citizens of the capital seem 10 be care
less about the Notifications of the capital
The papers are appealing to them 10 turn
out and provide deleuces for it.
The departure of Gen. Valencia from the
capital, at the head of five thousand of the
National Guards, 10 unite his forces with San
Ia Annals troops, was daily expected; but
had not taken place at last accounts.
Our Pacific squadron, says the PicayUnc,
is busy upon the Western ports of Mexico
On the 2Sth of April squadron of six or
eight vessels was Off MaZatlan, and Il thous-
and men were to disembark and take the
town.
Letters from MazatIan say they were max
ing every preparation for the defence ofthat
place; but ifthe descent is made in as great
force as is represented they can make no
defence ofmuch account.
Other accounts say that the port Of San
Bias, too, was menaced by our squadron, aud
that 1t was the purpose of the Americans to
land and take the town.
The vomito had made its appearance in
Vera Cruz, but as ye;, in few cases.
Vera Cruz has already nearly recovered
from the effects of the siege. The people
were returning; the knocked down houses
are being rebuilt; the streets cleaned, shops
opened, and all the activity ola sea port is
beginning to be displayed.
Later intelligence from Gen. Taylor has
been received.
Advices have been received at New Oh
leans from the Brnzos to 25th ut.
A letter to the Delta, from Monterey, May
Is, states that Gen. Taylor was actively pre-
pairing for move, and would probably start
for San Luis about LIST June, where another
great battle was expected, which would prob
ably be the final struggle.
A most deplorablo duel occurred at Chi

fought with muskets loaded with buckshot,
and both parties were killed.

Later from Santa Fe.

From the st. Louis Republican, May %.
About dozen of volunteers, discharged
from service in Col. Prices regiment ut San
ia Fe, on account of i'll health, arrived in this
city yesterday, on the John ]. Hardin. They
left Santa Fe in detached parties, the latest
on the 2lst ofApril, and reached Indepen-
dence on Sunday last. They brought a mail
with them,but as it was deposited in the Post
Office at independence, our letters have not
yet reached us.
Weilemn generally from those volunteers,tlat
every thing was in tranquil state when they
left Santa Fe. The natives of the country
were deprived ofthe means of doing mischief
even itthey were so disposed, having no arms
upon which they could rely and no alnmuni-
ton. The courts for the trial of the rebels
had closed both at Taos and Santa Fc, and
the sanguinary executions, which had taken
place under their adjudication, were at an
end. The old man at Santa Fe, under the
sentence of death for the part which he had
played in the drama of rebellion, was await
ing the decision of the President of the Unit
ed States in his case--on u representation of
all the facts, as contained in papers which
passed through this place some weeks since.
Col Price was in command at Santa Fe,
which has proved the graveyard for many
young and gallant men. Our informants
state, that nearly four hundred persons were
buried there; and in the company command
ed by HORNE, of ST. Genevieve, eleven deaths
had taken place. Thirteen others were dis
charged from the same company, on account
of ill-health. One hundred had been dis
charged from Col. Prices regiment on the
same
