the whites had gained numerous advantages over
the. Indians in the neighborhood Of Cenotillo. In
consequence of the confidence inspired by these
successes, many families had returned 10 their
homes in the nteriof, 'preiering," says III Hijo,
ssto perish by the hands of the savages TO suffering
the bitterness ofexile."
On the I7th the frgste Dolores arrived at Cam

Of arms and ammunition. The Republicsno was

MILITARY HEROES.

Our city is at present thronged with distin
guished military characters. Besides the veteran
Gaines, the Oldest and one Of the most patriotic
aud whole-souled officers in the army, and sole
Rough and Ready" the Fl rst hero of this war
we have Gen. Lane, the model Of partizan off
Ger, who has been so truly called 1.-The Marion
Of our army" Gen. Towson, the favorite artil
lery officer in SCOTS army in the war of 1912
Of whom the sagacious old hero is wont TO say
that there isno man in the world who can
clear his front as quick as Towson; Gen. Pillow
who has borne conspicuous part in all the
achievements Of our army after its landing neal
Vera Cruz, and who has displayed great zeal and
energy in the service of his country, in new
and highly responsible position; Gen. Gushing
the accomplished and distinguished orator and
politician. who only wanted the opportunity,
which he eagerly sought, of showing himself as
etficienthud gallanti in war as he has ever proved
able and powerful in civil stations; Col Bel
KNAPP, a veteran of the late war, who bears up
on his person the scars of those trying conflicts
and brilliant achievements with have made the
Canada Line classic ground, who gained high
distinction in the Florida campaigns. and at the
battles on the Rio Grande nobly led the 9Th In
fantry,in the assault upon the Mexican position;
Col. Childs, the firm, steady, and indomitabe
defender of Puebla, who SO faithfully and gal
lantly protected the rear of Gen. Scott's advan-
cling army, and with small force Of less than
a thousand men, keptin subsection city of
10000 hostile people; Col. Duncan, to whom
belongs the great praise of having strongly
urged the advance of our army, after the battle
Of Palo Alto, and whose promptitude, skill,
and daring, in the battles OIL the Rio Grande,
and in the valley of Mexico, have entitled him
to distinguished niche in the temple of Fame,
and bright page in our military annals.
To those officers who have just arrived in
our city, il would be unjust not to add the
names ST the gallant Brooke, who is connected
with some of the most brilliant exploits of the
late war, and of the intrepid Croglap, the hero
of Sandusky, whose Spartin-like devotion and
frmness served to redeem the cause Of our
country at the darkest epoch of her history.
There are other gallant officers in our city,
but we have not space, however strong our in
clination and desire may be, to notice the SER
vices and deeds Of all. There are many young
officers who, in their respective spheres, have
gained aurels of the most unfa6ing character;
who have evinced qualities that would do
honor to the highest command, many of them
glorious eLeues of West Point, without whom,
Gen, Scott saw he could have marched into the
city of Mexico only BY multiplying the mum
bers Of his army by four, and whose names will
be preserved in grateful remembrance by an ad-
miring people.

in another column the proceedings Of the
Court on the 2lsi April. On the 25th, the
members of the Court left The City OF Mexl
CO. The members of the Court are all now
in this city, and will proceed tomorrow Il
examine the witnesses who reside here. Be-
sides the Court-which is composed often
erals Towsou and Gushing and Col. Belk
nap-Gen. Pillow, Col. Duncan This counsel,
and Capt. Ridgley (the Judge AdVocaie) at
tend the Court.
The Treaty views Of our cores
pondent, Mustang, on this subject, are per
haps more reliable than anything we can
gather from our files. ALI our officers con
cur in the probabili,y-some think, absolute
certainly-ofa speedy peace with Mexico
Pena y Pena, TO make up for The absences
which still prevent the action OF Congress,
has issued proclamation reducing the num-
Dor of deputies necessary to form quorum.
This is truly Mexican device. New Mex
leo, California and Yucatan are excluded, by
this proclamation, from any right OF represen.
taiion. This is considered high handed
violation Of the constitution; and Ell Pro
greso, Of QuereIaro, a strong war paper, is
out against the Government for his arbitra-
ry proceeding. 1t IS probable that this mea-
sure will be so generally distasteful that the
Government will recede from il, as there
really seems to be a near prospect of quo
rum without such extreme measures. Mem
bers have been elected from Mornelia, who
il is supposed are on their way to Quereiaro.
and then others are about to leave Mexico.
In the meantime, ridiculous dispute has
arisen respecting the escort of Commission
ers Sewer aud Clifford to Quereiaro. The
Mexicans profess 10 be alarmed at the idea
Of their being escorted by American troops,
and Messrs. Sewer and Clifford very proper
ly insist upon selecting their own escort
This absurd dispute, however, has been prop
erly determined, as we see those efficient
corps the Rifles and Sd Dragons, under
Major Polk, have been designed as The es-
cort Of our Commissioners. The Mexicans
we're terribly frightened by rumor tina, Gen.
Butler and his whole Division was TO visit
them and back Messrs. SeYier and Clifford.
The opposition 10 the treaty seems to
grow small by degrees nd beautiful less.
Busiamenie is sustaining the Government
with his influence which is deservedy great.
Some Of the papers are still opposing the
Treaty. ElProgreso is the most inau en-
,ial, as il is published in the capital. II says
that "though the United States offer US iwen-
ty millions, they take fifty from u.s." Il ur-
ges various reasons why the treaty should
not be ratified, and among other things says
the Government is check mated-placed in
a position where il can neither make peace
(there being no Congress) nor war.

the 9Th. containing highly important intelli-
gence from Mexico. 1t will be seen that Gen.

The letters from "Mgstang," and the informa-
ton concerning peace are highly interesting
and important and will command attention.
We shall look with muchanxiety for the next

After further debate the motion prevailed,

THE FLoop IN TENNEssEE.--The water in
the Cumberland, at Nashville, was still ris-
ing OH the 18th inst. The Wing says: The
damage done by this flood is of course very
great--it will never be acertained. The en-
tire corn crop made in the bottom of the
Cumberland, and intended Tor expectation,
may be said to have shipped without n bill
Of lading. 1t has gone-washed away. 1t is
the custom of those who grow corn for sale
on the Cumberland bottoms, to gather it and
put it in pens Immediately on the banks of
the river. Those pens are all off now, and
where the corn had not been gathered, it has
been washed away in the stalk, along with
the fences which surrounded it. Much stock
also, consisting of hogs, cows and horses,
has been lost. We apprehend that this will
be found to be the case with all the trinuto+
ries of the Cumberland, with Duck river, and
quite likely with the Ohio and its tributaries.
