protected them. For this generous and
humane conduct of the English, the pris-
oners expressed their great gratitude and
thanklulness. After a long journey of
200 miles, the prisoners arrived at the
town of Huejutla, where they we're re-
ceivcd very kindly by Gen. Garay, and
were allowed % cents day for their
support. This money was raised by a
forced contribution from the people
Gen. Garay, however, did not consider
that he was authorized to send them On
TO Tampce without such guard as he
had not then under his command He
was apprehensive that the people near
Tampico were so enraged against the A
mericans that they would attack them un-
armed as they were, and being man Of
honor, he did not wish to be connected
with such a disgracelul deed. He there
fore detained the prisoners some weeks,
but getting restless and impatient, several
Of them escaped out of the town and pro-
ceeded on their way to Tampico. Four
others, who escaped before them, were
retakon and carried back to Hueiutla.-
One of the same party, and two others Of
another party, also arrived at TampIco.
The five who are now in our city started
from Huejulla in the night armed with
their Jack knives an1 one case knife a.
mong the five. They had TO travel chief
ly at night, and avoided all the towns and
ranchos. On one occasion, however, in
attempting to go around town Of some
size, they took up ravine and suddenly
found themselves in the centre of it,
They assumed however, very easy and
Indifferent carriage, and passed the guard
house where there were several soldiers
lounglng about. The soldiers on guard
cried out ''Who goes therel" in Spanish;
but the men carelessly answered "Ami-
gos, amigos" kept on their course and
got safely out of town.
Near Tampico. they came suddenly
upon rancho, where there were Is or
20 Mexicans, all armed with that formi-
dable weapon, the lariat. Seeing that
they were noticed, the Americans walked
boldly up to the Mexicans and commenced
making signs to them of their friendly
intentions. The Mexicans looked very
threatingly, and seemed to be adjusting
their lariats for immediate use, but the
Americans showed knives, and were per-
mitted to proceed on their journey.
After many trials and sufferings, the
prisoners at last arrived in sight of Tam
pico. The ecstatic joy which filed their
hearts, as they saw the noble banner of
our Union, with its broad stripes and
bright stars, waving from the lofty flag
staff of Tampico, can be better imagined
than described.

And when the sun in glory quits

There fancy paints the twilight hill,

number Of volunteers received into the service
under the provisions of the act of the 18th

and 23,699 men; in the aggregate 24,770. 1t
apperrs from the statement enclosed that 81 vol
unteers were killed at Monterey On the 2lsi, 22d
and 23d of September; of whom four were CON-
missionsd officers, and that nineteen have died
of their wounds. Ordinary deaths 637--Dis-
charged 2202, nearly all reported for disability
Desertion 33l. The strength Of the rank and
file, according to the latest returns is l4,55l,
including sick, which when deducted from the
regiments at the time they were mustered into
the service, shows loss of forty-one hundred
within the period for the most part Of sixty and
ninety days, after joining the army in the field
The statement does not include one regiment of
nine companies Of volunteer infantry-35 COM
missioned officers and 897 men-mustered in

sour THUNDER. n-Commodor Perry it ap.
pears has proposed to the Government the plan
Of sezing all the Mexican ports ON both oceans
placing garrisons 10 them and establishing oui
custom-houses, for the purpose Of collecting
the duties and combining the future operations
Of the war to holding those ports and the pro-
vinces we have already taken.
This plan we suggested nearly three months
since, and have, from time to time, alluded to
itin our columns as not only the most advsa-
BILE, but also the only effective one to bring
Mexico to terms-every days experience in
the progress of the war has only the more fu.-
iy confirmed us in this opinion. and we are re-
joiced that we are at least supported in this
view of il by the gallant Commodore who has
had such excellent practical opportunities Of
being abeto form correct judgment respect
ing it. ~
Ever since we first preached the plan, it has
received the general appreciation of all those in
this city who were, from their previous knowl-
edge of the country and of the feelings and dis
positions Of the Mexicans, best qualified TO
judge.-M o. Bulletin.

Aid and Com fort.

III the House of Representatives, Mr.. Wick
OF Indiana, made speech Of nearly an hour
holly abusive of his own party He said they
were unfit to govern the country. and had
shown i by tiseir divisions upon the floor. They
had refused supplies to the government; when
20 per cent tax had been recommended up
ON tea and coffee, this House had refused to i'm
pose any such tax; when the President ask ed
for Lieutenant General, this House, where
there was so large majority Of democratic
members refused him. They had declared that
they would vote men and money, but they
would do no more. They would impose no
taxes, and they did everything they could to
embarrass the administration.
Mr.. w. did not like it that Wing Generals
were in command at Mexico. II was shame
that they were there--not that they were not
patriotic. Oh no, but they would not give the
administration good advice. If they were or
dered to go anywhere, they went there and o.
beyed orders. If they met the enemy they
fought him, and if they won victory, they,
and not the administration, had the honor of
it. This is not right, must not and shall not
be. The Administration shall have demo-
cratic leader in Mexico.
Mr.. Wick anticipated from divided coun-
sells the worst result in regard to the war with
Mexico. It would .fssle out, he was sure Of il,
and he repeated his sublime idea more than
once. And knowing this and contributing to
it, yet his own party here dare not recommend
the withdrawal of the troops from Mexico.
They had not the courage to do that directly,
while they were contributing to il in
way. But he would vote to withdraw odf
troops to the Rio Grande, and from Mexico,
when the Administration recommended it, but
not before, as he did not wish to cripple the
A administration.

VICTORIA, Mexico, 18th Jan l84s.a
Our worst fears have been realized. In nj
letter of Yesterday i mentioned that viewer
to march to-morro " the direction Of i'ampi
co. farther stated that an express from Gen
Scott had afrivedand ii was thought that Gen
TAYLOR wouldbe ordered to remain in The North
This has proved to be good supposition, ant
worse than all, our marching orders have beer
countermanded and we are now ordered Z,
Gen. Taylor to return with him to Monterey
To say thai this order has caused dissatisfac'
ton in our regiment, is but feeble express
ion Of the feeling Of both officers and men,
They are almost unanimous in wishing to go
on to Tampco and Vera Cruz and 1t requires
all their p ilosophy to bear without murmur-
ing loud at this Iast order. As for myself
admit that have not been able to comply
with this rigorous order withoutsome regret.
Why our regiment has been selected toreturn
is not of course known, or who caused The se-
slection--this will yet be discovered. The es-
cort taken by Gen. Taylor consists Of the Mis-
sissipp Riaemen, Capt. Bragg's battery Of ar
tillery, Lieut.. Thomas battery Of artilley, and
Col. Muy'sdragoon.
Where we will be stationed or what dis
position will be made of us after we get to
Monterey is not known, but wish you to d.
rect my letters to Monterey. Make the same
known as to letters.for our regiment. Many
regard the selection Of our regiment by Gen.
Taylor as compliment, but do not. One
thing is certain, we have hard work to do in
the way of marching, guarding, &C., and will
be deprived of the glorious honor of being pres
at the great battle Gen. Scott will fight at Vera
Cruz. Military law is severe in its exaction,
and we are forced to obey. a@
Gen. Taylor published very beautiful adj
dress to the army upon parting with It. He is
deeply affected by the order which separates
him from those with whom he has SO long been
associated by the strongest ties. Gen. Quit
man also published an address on parting with
the Mississippi regiment. He feels the sepa-
ration very deeply, and expresses his regret in
the most touching language. He is more falni-
la1y known to the officers and men Of our
regiment than any other General, and the high
est fespect forhirn as gentleman and admira-
ton as an officer is entertained for him by the
whole regiment. Yours, truly, r, Il. A.
