FUNERAL HoNoRs.-On Wednesday last, one Of
Capt. CocHRAN's deceased recruits was buried. But
hour or two Of notice was had, when a respecta-
bic squad, composed of members of the discharged
regiments Of Indiana volunteers and Marion Guards
pr, mpty volunteered to perform the funeral honors.
Late 1t. WALLACE was unanimously chosen TO COM
mand the occasion, ard never have we seen the
same ceremony better performed or more impressive;
and SO far we have heard expression of public
opinion, it juslfes this statement Although out Of
its proper place here feel bound to say, that the
conduct Of "Mexican Wing" that day will not
soon be forgotten and TO state, that if the de-

our "digmty" as citizens.
Since the above was penned, we have received the
following card from Capt. COCHRAN, who, with his
Sergeant, DUNHAM, attended mourners:

GIVE recently alluded to certain uncaIled for and
ungenerous remarks, made by the Wabash Express,
on the occasion of the death of the late Mr. Kennedy
The Express attempts defence if its bad conduct in
Its usual ribald vein. We have no time to waste
upon such paper, and would not notice it at ALL but
for the sake of showing that its conduct is condemn
ed by at least one of its whig contemporaries as well
as ourselves. The Greensburg Repository Of a week
ago, spoke of the matter thus:
1t is old adage "noihing but good of the dead, {"
and we rejoice that party spirit does yet run so
high as that many disposed To- violate it. IL
would be well If our political press would say moth
ing of the living but truth Alas! Party spirit OBJ
and denies too often both the excellences and
faults of our public men. The Wabash Express has
the following alluson TO the late Mr.. Kennedy in
notice Of his decease, which We think very rude in
deed"
Here follows the notice of the Express which we
have already copied in full. We do not republish,
because we do wish to de6le our columns with 1t
again.

CRY MEXICO, Dec. l, 1S47.-These Mexicans
wretched race, but they have had poor chance
of it. They are already revivng under our touch.
A master carpenter who has been working for me, a
German, gave some information with regard TO his
business last night. | observed there were no new
buildings to be in Mexico; and the buildings in
the city were falling into dilapdation. asked him
If during his residence In the city he had ever known
one building to be erected. He replied, Eyes,
have erected hem but in all cases that have known
of the erection of building, it was TO replace
one that had been torn dozen have been In Mexi-
co.., said he, hrteen years, following the trade of
carpenter, and during all that time there has not
been building erected in addition to what had
existed before. On the contrary the outer parts of
the city becoming dlapidated and the number of
houses is every year diminishing" What fact Is
here presented by an honest, intelligent. singe-min-
ded carpenter Yet such is the state of things from
one end of Mexico to the other-a country uniting
naturally all the resources and advantages of all other
countries Of the world, together with many peculiar
to ITSELF that other part Ct the world possesses.
All has been degeneracy here for many years past.
The world has lived in almost utter darkness with ref
erence 10 the real state of Mexico and her people.
The veil that enshrouded China was nothing to it.
This darkness has been dissipated and Mexico will
yet arouse herself. We will be obliged to hold on to
the heart of the country for short time-lberallZe
trade and communication with borrower her country
with the blessings of our manufactures-turn part
of the tide of European emigration, setting To-
wards the west of country, to this REGION and by
these means connect her people with civilized, civ
izing and progressing world. In one year, if we
| are true destiny of the human family, will
have achieved miracles in this way. In my Judgment,
there will be other means of obtaining peace, or
of Keeping it when obtained.
