The Last Battle in Chihuahua

The following letter from Col. Ham
tramck to the Editor of the Richmond
Republican gives more particular ac-
count than we have before seen of bat
tie in Chihuahua the result of which has
been heretofore announced:
SALTILLo, Mexico, April 2, 1S4S.
My Dear Friend: | have but mo.
ment to say that have just received an
express from Gen. Prices column, an
nouncing the pleasing intelligence that
Gen. Trias, with all his forces, has sur
rendered to our arms. Gen. Price en-
tered Chihuahua on the 9th of March,
and Immediately gave pursuit to the en-
emy, whom he overlook at Santa Cruz de
Rosalio, strongly situated town some
60 miles south of chihuahua, on the 10th.
The place was invested, and after fight
ing all day tho plaza and church were
nearly attained by burrowing trough the
houses, when the enemy surrendered.-
Our loss is one lieutenant, two non-com-
mssioned officers, and twelve privates;
the enemy's loss is 800 and odd killed,
and 72 wounded; his whole force, (sOO)
all his artillery, ~ pieces,) 1000 stand
of arms, some eight hundred thousand
dollars worth of public property. many
field officers, and Gen. Trias at their head,
are taken. Col. Rails command on one
side, and Col. Lanes on the other, acted
most heroically and took the place. My
letter from Col. Rails is dated March 22.
| am, in haste, yours, &c.

EyIf the Editor Of the Ohio Statesman will

EV'lf the Editor Of the Ohio Statesman will
read the extract from the Washington Union he
will discover the fact that the Editor of the "offi.
cial organ" means nothing else than the emanci-
patton Of the slaves, He distinctly says: "In one
movement we do not exactly agree with it
though we must allow. ut the same time for the
prGUaices Of the European latitude"
But says the StaiesmdR; "The one movement
is distinctly stated to be the social SYSTEM (Four.
ersm) which French writers have been pressing
upon her adoption"
Is ls"Fourierism" one of the prejudices Of the
European latitLdel" Notat all. 1t is opposed
there by the majority with as much vehomence as
IN this country,
But the above one movement says the Union
has been committed by theGovernment Fourier
ism has not been adopted by them as yet and con
sequenty the Union adds; "She, (France) may
not escape others; for the social systems which
her writer's have been pressing upon her adop
ton, cannot all be realized"
The Statesman thus, by copying the Union,
article condems itself, und we respectfully refer il
to some other quarter to fluid 'Roorback." The

do not like any Que movement that looks to eman

For SALE.

The Carrollton Iron Foundry is offered at private
sale 1t is located at Carroton the county seat of
Carroll county, and is the only foundry in the coun-
ty, excepting one at Leesburgh on its extreme wes-
tern margin. The location is most decidedly good
one. 1t is far removed from competition, and the
demand for castings is great and increasing. There
is an abundance Of coal in the Immediate vicinity,
at three cents delivered on the bank. The demand
for stoves and CRATES is good. Cast iron plows
in almost universal use, and the manufacture of
them and the points is good business. This estab-
lshment has been in successful operation for fifteen
years, and consequently there are great many and
a great variety of patterns. The town is healthy,
and the country new and capable of great advances
in the amount of business and value of property.
will sell this property cheap, and take one-third
of the price in hand and the balance in two equal
annual payments. This, and all the property ad-
vertse is free from all incumbrance, and the title
