The War office has received by the Of
ficers who have recently arrived from
Mexico, various trophies Of the war.
Among them are two small beautiful
brass wall pieces of ordnance, sent by
Gen. Scott, and brought to this city by
Col. Andrews.

the black flag of these guerrllas. The
material is bombazette. The ornaments
and letters in the centre, upon the red

on black cloth pieces, except the squares.
which are worked with white. But the
most remarkable is small pennant on the
