STATISTICS OF THE MEXICAN WAR. The
New Orleans Bulletin is summing up the losses
In the Mexican war, by death in the battle field
and by disease. The former bear but a small
proportion to the latter The soldier in Mexico
had much less danger to encounter from the buI
lets OF the foe than from the inhosptabe climate.
Inc whole number OF Americans killed in the
war, including the line Of the Rio Grande and
that OF Vera Cruz, is estimated at 1000 and woun
ded at 1000. 1t is impossible to say how MANY
Of the latter have died In consequence of Their
wounds, but we should suppose not less than one
fourth, say 1000, making in all 5000 deaths from
battle.
The ravages of disease were terrible AtPe
rote there were 2600 American graves all vic
tins OF disease. At the city OF Mexico the deaths
were Tor the greater part OF the time 1000 month
ly.
The first Mississippi giment that went out to
the Rio Grande buried l35 on the banks of that
river before it went into battle, and finally
brought back less than one third OF its number
They suffered dreadfully at Buena Vista.
The first and second Pennsylvania re giments
recently returned, went out 1900 strong, 1000
each y they brought home about 600 OF their
original number. About 200 fell in battle. near
y 400 died, and about 500 were discharged as I'M
TIT for duty How many of the latter have since
died is OF course unknown
~ $3.50 "hd ioult eHHeSSe6 regiments, al
so recently returned, lost 300 by death. Meth.
er OF these regiments has been in action.
Captain Naylor, of Pennsylvania, took down
company OF l04 men; he brought back seven.

men, he brought 10 out oft.
The most frighttul instance of morality. how
ever, that we have heard oil, was in ,hat gallant
corps, the Georgia battalion, commanded bv q
gallant and accomplished officer, Colonel Sew

They were considered acclimated, and actual

discharged with broken down and ruined cons,;-

gone 10 their graves; and the battalion was 70.

JAMAICA AND ST. DOMINGO The sch.
Napoleon reports that, (says the Wilmington
Commercial Review of lst instauD while lying
at L'Anse d'Hainault, st. Domingo, taking in
cargo on the 28th June, the blacks from the
mountains came upon the town, sacking, robbng
and burning it, driving Captain Smith and yes.
sci from the port. One hundred and four of the
Inhabitants, merchants and their families,) took
refuge on board the Napoleon, and were landed
at Kingston. Capt. s. with that true natural
philanthrophy so proverbial OF the American
character, sent general invitation for all the in
habitants that desired to make his vessel place

DU-We notice from the Charleston papers
that the people of that city are making prepa<
rations to give their Regiment of Volunteers a
reception on their return, worthy of the repu.
tation for public spirit which South Carolina
enjoys, and worthy the gallant deeds which the
Palmetto regiment have performed in the Mex
lean war This is as it should be. Will the
State of North Carolina take no notice of her
gallant sons, who will soon return from the
wars? True, our brave Regiment was not
afforded the same opportunity of distinguish
ing itself that many others had Those, how
ever, who know the brave spirits that left the
Old North State for lie Theatre of war;"
know also full we'll that the opportunity only
was wanting. 1t is not the fault, but the
misfortune, OF our brave citizen soldiers that
thay will not return to us with as many proud
trophies of their daring gallantry as encircle
the brows of the sons of our sister State. They
have suffered much, and have conducted them
selves like patriots and soldiers in those silua-
tons in which the fortune of war has placed
them. They deserve the gratitude and thanks
of the State Just as much as if they had been
in every battle from Vera Cruz to the City OF
Mexico. They were anxious to be there, but
fortune did not favor them. We hope and
trust then, that on their return they will be
received in such manner as they deserve,
and as is due from the State.
