LETTER FROM THE EDITOR DATED

PHILADELPHIA, March l6, 1852.
In my last letter from Harrisburg stated
that strong delegations from the Counties
along the Susquehanna would attend The Sus.
quehanna Rail Road Convention, held at Bal
timore on the 18th inst. was not mistaken
in my estimate, and feel gratifed to see so
large and respectable delegation from Nor
lhnnberand county. The entire delegation
from the County numbered forty three, of
which number twenty three We're from Sun
bury. Whatever may be said of the want
Of energy or enterprise on the part of the cii-
2ens of Sunbury, they are at least always
prompt and ready in attending Conventions
or other projects favorable 10 Improvements.
IL they can do no more, it is only because
those who have the will have not the means.
| hope, however, bright day is dawning.-
The rail roads from Harrisburg and from
Polsville, TO Sunbury will both be made,
in few years, and unless the relations OF
cause and effects are changed, they will, un-
doubtedly, give an impetus 10 the business
and prosperity of our whole neighborhood. -
The citizens OF Baltimore, or at least that
portion who attend 10 those matters, seemed
to be deeply impressed with the Importance
of he completion of the connection between
that city and the lakes. They also see in
perspective valuable coal trade between
our coal regions and that city. The Conven.
lion was well attended and the proceedings
were conducted with much energy and spir.
il, a full report of which will be found in the
columns of that excellent Journal, the Bali-
more American, and it is but just 10 say tha,
its able editor, Mr.. Bose, has always ably
advocated this improvement. Indeed all the
journals OF Baltimore without exception have
been animated by the same spirit During
the evening session MIR. Bose read memor.
ial prepared by him as Chairman Of the Com.

CHARLESTON, March Il.

CHARLESTON, Alarcn IL.
The New Orleans Picayune gives the de-
tails Of the late battle between the forces of
Caravajal and the Mexican forces on the
Rio Grande
Gen. Canales, in his official report, says
that Caravajal was driven from Camargo in
utter dismay across the rivers San Juan and
Rio Bravo, and that in the flight large
number Of his men were drowned. Forty
eight Of Caravaj jal's men are reported 10
have been found dead on the field of battle;
and twenty -four wounded.
But other accounts say lha, Caravaja ais
forces numbered between two and five hum
dred, sixteen of whom were Indians, that
they had a twelve FOUNDER and good sup
ply of ammunition, and that they made Il
most desperate resistance, disputing the
ground inch by inch.
The Mexican forces charged on them
fiercely with two hundred and fifty calvary,
which caused one wing of CarayajaPs forces
under Capt. Munez composed mostly of
Mexicans, 10 make a regular stampede
They were followed by number of
Americans who never returned.
The remainder of Caravajal's men stood
firm and repuIsed the charge, by IA heavy
discharge of canister, making great
slaughter of the Mexcans. The Mexicans
made two more charges, but being repulsed
retired across the river San Juan.
Ii being midnight, CarayajaI's forces also
retired from the field.
On hearing this, the Mexicans returned and
took possession Of the field, seized Carava-
Jal's only gun, and one hundred and twenty
stand of arms.
Carayajal, in his report, says that he lost
only len killed, thirteen wounded, and three
missing
The battle lasted two and a half hours -
| The Mexican forces numbered seven hun
dred, with two pieces of artillery.
Col. Johnson, of Caravaal's force, was
wounded. He reports that the loss Oh The
side Of the Mexicans was upwards of one
| hundred including ten officers of rank.
! He says that Carvajal's men were seized
with a second panic, and refused 10 again
! advance on Camargo, and all left the field
with the exception Of twenty-five, when he
retired with them in good order across
/ the river.

Oy- The ice dams in the Susquehanna
have all passed off without doing any dam
age. The river is still much swollen, and
although some few RATS Of timber have
passed down, the stage of water is too high
for safe navigation. The water has been
let into the Susquehanna division OF the
canal and the boatman have resumed their
labors. Business opens very briskly and
promises a favorable season for the coal
trade. The severe weather of the past
winter has caused a consumption of coal
much greater than has taken place for a
number of years, A scarcity of that arti.
Gle exists in the market, and the com
mencement of shipments has been looked
for anxiously, Coal is fast taking the place
of wood for fuel in the southern cities, and
in few years the immense fields of Sham
okn and Mahonoy will scarcely be able 10
supply the demand. Preparations have
been made by the collierS in those regions
to send a large quantity of coal 10 market
during the coming season. The superior
quality of this coal has made 1t deservedly
popular and eagerly sought after, and il is
rapidly taking the place Of all other coal
in the Baltimore market.

LEGISLATURE OF NORTH CAROLINA

The Wilmington Herald of Saturday states that
there is no longer any doubt as to the COMPLEXION
of the Legislature of North Carolina The Demo
Gratis, it says, will have majority of two members
on joint ballot. The Wings have gained sixteen
nembers of tho House Of Commons and lost nine
which, had there been no change in the Senate,
would have tied the Democrats ON joint ballot But
il seems that Democrat is elected from Camden
and Currituck by one vote, which is another Demo
cratic gain This seat, however, will probably be
contested, there was some informality in the re-
turns, which is thus explained by the Democratic
Pioneer, at Elizabeth City:
"A presented his ticket for the Senate the in
specor put the ticket in the wrong box This was nae-
d'aey detected The Wing inspector admitted the error
and, upon a conference, it agreed that the name
should be registered properly and when the
counted out this one should be placed in the proper box
The other precisely similar Well the Wing in
spector certified the returns to the sheriff But when the
sheris together it that the sheriff of Cam
den Is unwilling to give certificate Of election unless
these two votes thrown out After time spent
in conference the acting sheriff Of Curruck made pro-
camaton that upon comparison Of the polls returned
by the several inspectors of the two counties DR. Shaw
DEM was elected by majority Of vote. The She
rf of Camden then made proclamation that if the two
votes alluded TO were illegal then Mr.. Barnard Whig)
was elected Senator"
In the last Legislature the Democrats had ma
Jonty Of four in the Senate ten in the House, and
fourteen on joint ballot.
