THE WAR.

The Patriot points TO the recent victories in
Mexico to show that the Government has wisely
managed the war. Not at all, Major: these VIC
tories only prove the consummate skill and brave
ry of the commanders and their troops, who have
by their extraordinary achievements ertr'cofea
themselves from the imminent danger to i0htoh he
managers at Washington had subjected Them No
thanks, sir to Polk and Marcy Tor this Ihey
would have superseded Scott and Taylor, If they
could, and sent oil military Johnny Raw, like
Tom Benton-and this in the very crisis which
has Just been so fortunately escaped. Aye, there
are not few who suspect hat the administration
would have shed no terrs had Taylor been de-
fcated at Buena Vista! We refer the Patriot to
the Unon-to Folks organ-which, VIXEN Santa
Anna wSs pouring his thousands upon TayIor's
little army, began to berOte Old Rough and Ready
for exceeding his orders, andto shield the admin
istration in advance from the responsibility OF the
defeat which the Government apprehended. Now
you'll steal Taylor's thunder TO glorify Polk, will
you 1t won't do, neighbor; no thanks to the
adnnstration-no robbing Of Taylor's laurels
TO crown the long eared gentlemen at Washing
ton. The people won't stand it.

FROM VERA CRUZ.

From the New Orleans Delta, of March 25.
BY the revenue cutter Ewing we have news
from Vera Cruz to the 18th. Gen. Scott gave
the foreign residents notice to leave the town,
and they have generally gone on board foreign
vessels off the port. Col. Harney's dragons ar
rived on the 10Th, having been wrecked near An
ton Lizardo.
On the evening Of the 10Th the South Carolina
regiment had brush with body of some 200
lancers and defeated them.
We regret to learn that the report of the re-
capture Of mdshipman Rogers was incorrect.
Capt Backus of the LIST infantry has found an
lS ID gun Immediately opposite where the troops
landed, but the descent was SO well arranged,
and conducted with such despatch, that tine Mex
leans had not time 10 plant it before our forces
were on shore.
The U. S. Army completely crcumvents Vera
Cruz, and the entire line investing occupies o
space of ground about miles in length.
Gen. Worth occupies the right Gen. Twggs

Col. Persfer f. Smith, with his rifles, has had

FROM NEW MEXICO.
ANOTHER BATTLE a. VICTORY

ST. LOUIS, Monday, March 81, 1847.
Mr.. w. N. HALDEMAN-Dear Sir: We have
this day received an express from Santa Fe.-
The Mexican insurrectonists, numbering two
thousand men, marched down on Santa Fe, as
was lntimated by our last advices.
They were met by Capt Morris's command in
the valley of the Moro, and totally defeated.
great number of the enemy were killed and
wounded, and the rest fled precipitately to the
mountains. The action was a most brilliant one
on the part Of our men, and reflects great credit
on their GOODNESS and courage.
The news of the assassination of Gov. Bent
is fully confirmed; twenty five other Americans
fell at the same time. have no time for far
ther particulars, as the steamer Colorado, by
which send this, is preparing to shove out.
The battle fought by Capt. Morris and his
command took place 25 miles from Santa Fe.-
At the first volley discharged by our troops, 80
OF the Mexicans were killed: the rest were
thrown into confusion, and precipitately fled to
the mountains. Capt. Morris followed up his
advantage with decision, pursued the enemy, and
devastated the valley of the Moro, burning eve
ry thing IN his path. The people, terrified, fled
to the mountains also, where death, in the shape
of starvation, awaits them-a horrible but Just
retrbulon for the sangunary massacres which
they effected, and the widespread instruction
which they contemplated.
Mr.. Caldwell, who brought the express from
Santa Fe to st. Louis, states that as he left,
heavy firing was heard in the direction of the
More, whence he inferred that another battle had
been fought, the issue of which would be more
decisive than before, as our troops were fully
prepared and in high spirits. At the first battle
a Capt. Headly was killed and seven of our pri-
Yates were wounded, while the Mexican loss is
said TO have been very large.
LATE AND INTERESTING FROM SANTA FE.-
| The St Louis Reveille, OF the 3lst ut, contains
farther particulars of the military operations in
! New Mexico. Several actions have taken place
between our troops and the insurrectionists. Col.
Price with 300 men, had an action with the Mex
leans at Comada, in which the Americans were
victorious, and the enemy lost 36 killed, and sew
era wounded Another action occurred few
DAYS afterward at San Vada, with an equally tri-
umphant result. The Americans, after the battle
in the valley Of the Moro, retired to Vegas A
reinforcement Of 200 men were sent from Santa
Fe under Col. Morrison, on whose appearance
the Mexicans abandoned Moro after numbering
eight Americans. The insurrectlonists are most
| ly composed of the yerlest rabble.
Don Vagil, the Secretary of State, under Gov
Bent, was acting as governor OF Santa Fe
In a skirmsh between the volunteers under
Captain ST. Vrain and the insurrectionists, u
Mexican was killed wearing Gov. Bents coat
and shirt.
There was much sickness at Santa Fe-three
to five deaths occurring daily, mostly teimsters.

o. The Burlington Sentinel man cannot per-
ceive any sort of difference between John Sill
dell as Commissioner to Mexico and John Slidell
Plenpo. Sorry for him it is the misfortune oil
some folks to be thick-skulled. The Mexican
President did see difference, and so wide dit
ference that he refused to receive Mr. Slidell as
Minister, but at the same time was ready to re-
co;ve him as Commissioner. President Polk UNI
derstood this perfectly, and did mol take Mexico
at her word: hence Sldels rejection by Mexi-
CO. and the war.

A Forgery.

We have recently observed in some of the To-
eofoco newspapers, an article purporting to be an
extract from speech by Daniel Webster long
ago, abusing Mr. Madison. Mr. Webster pro-
nounces the thing to be utterly false he never
made any suoh speech. BY the way, we will take
this occasion to observe that very silly speech
has recently been attributed to Mr. Clay, in which
he is reported to have said that he felt like Kill
ling Mexican: it is now said that Mr.. Clay
never uttered any such sentiment.

RUM. TIE shocking death of Mrs. Holdridge
and her five children, at North Blenheim, N. Y,
was caused by rum. Mr.. Holdridge came home
in the night drunk and set the house on fire in
his drunken heedlessness. He escaped taking
child of 6 years with him, and daughter aged
10 escaped, though badly burned, by leapng from
window. Mrs. II. came twice from the house,
but returning TO save her five children persisted
with them! Here was carelessness but the
carelessness sprang from drunkenness, and the
drunkenness from the wilfulness of one man in
drinking, and of another man in selling the rum
to be drank. How ought the responsibility to be
divided? Here is food for serious thought.

1t is said that when Santa Anna got into the
neghborhood of old Rough and Ready, he sent
Folks pass to the latter, and demanded liberty tic
march through Taylor's camp, to the Rio Grande
and when it was said that the Mexicans go
through the mountains by road entirely I'M
