Scott had the resolutioti of Congress presenting the thanks of Congress to Gen. Taylor and his army promulgated in genera! orders, in the following words: “As mav of those gallant officers and men who achive ed the hriiiant \ ictories a!!ud<-d to are now with this pa nicular a nny, at a great distance from the distinguisiied Maj. Gen. Taylor, the pleasing duty devolves upon the general-in chief to announce that resolution in printed orders to the whole army now with him. The Fugle sa vs that some men helong ! tog to the New Y. and Ist Pennsylvania Regiment,and four sailors frothe fmni gate Potomac, left the camp on Sunday, the 28lb ult., and went out into the country some seven or eight miles. Some of them returned the same evening and reported that they had been attacked hv rancheros and most of their number killed. No faii!i was tdaeed in their representations. | hut on the 3Ut, a detachment was sent out | an 1 found the remains of five of tho-e | killed. They had been shot and horribly I mutilated. Among those who were killed were tlio Rev. W. H. T. Barnes, of Wilmington, Del.; Robert Jessi of South I waik, Pa,; Gemge W. Mdler. of Proxi dence/R. 1., helongicgto the Philadelphia I Rangers; Benj.

A stringent ord.*r was issued hy Sen t on i he 1 * t of Aj>ril, denouncing cer tain outrages which had lieen committed hv a few worthless soldiers in the army, and calling upon the m iss of th#-* troops, • dicers, and privates, to :issi<f jn bringing to ju>tice those who should disgrace onr national name hv any violation of law whatever.

I sent off a package of letters, papers, and documents hv the ship Arkansas, and now write you a hasty sketch hy lue Louisville, thinking she may possibly ar rive at New Orleans fust. All is quiet here. Gmi. Worth, in ad dition to his commercial rules and re gulations, has overhauled tfie police de- ! partment of Vera Cruz, and every thing goes on like clock work. I doubt whether this citv, from the days of the early vice rovs down, ha< ever had as good a code of laws or as good a Governor. In mv letters hy the Arkans, aH neg lected to mention the arrival of the British mail steamer Tay. She came in sight yesterday, and after backing and filling about for an hour or two, not ex actly understanding the appearance of things about the place, finally came in. 'fhe captain was doubtless astonished to see the “stars and snips” living from the old castle of San Juan de Ulna. This morning she started for Tampico. A detachment, composed in | art ofCol. Harney’s 2d Dragoons, marched this morning to take possession of Antigua, an old place some eight mi.es north of thia Gea. Scott will not march with the main command for Puen>e Naciona! for K °ioe days to come, not having sufficient j transportation to warrant an immediate ; movement; and he will, or rather lias, | taken ()o«cssion of the real- doth right and left, in order to obtain supplies of all kinds from the country of the rnemv.

The correspondent of the New York Spi rit of the Times, gives the following inter esting account of a Pic-Nic party, recently gotten itp at Tampico by the American offi cers, for the gratification of the ‘’dark e\ed Senoras” of that tow n ; Lot me give yon k slight sketch of a de lightful pic n c which none off hereon the j 4'h inst. I must premise tliaf the party was i given hv some officers as a slight return h r • rhe p leisure t hoy had experienced at (lie <!e ligiiiit'il party given them hy the amiable 1 'v ot*tiie (I 'rman Consul. It was deemed p,\- trernelv dotihtfid whether the Mexican ladies could be prevailed upon to join u-; a gen ie- ; man well acquainted with tlirrn kindly took the matter in hand, and reported that he be lieved the afftir perfectly practicable. I: was decided that it shoo'd Ip as'pamlicat ex cursion upon the Pataico. Tlie U S.sfearn j or Mary Summers was kindly placed at their j I dispnsa 1 , and every thing that could possibly | desired was placed on hoard of Imr bv the ' i energy and taste of the accomplished Captain | M ,of the Jst Artillery. Just con-id- I j erthe neat little steamboat lying at the wharf, ; steam up, and tastefully decorated with digs. At 3 o’clock the ladies and their gentle men friends commenced assembling. In a 1 very short time we had twenty-five ladies— : with one exception they were either foreign ers or Mexicans, and all ladies. The hand of the 2d Artillery accompanied us. Great anxiety was expressed about the arrival of General S., who was one of the principal persons in getting up the affiii; it was his 1 popu’aritv combined with his (Vien llv relation I with all the principal families, which induc ed so many to honor ns. The hour arriv' d : —but no General S. S ane little anxi *tv u is manifested hy our (air friends—the boat was i det <ined. At last, much to our regret, apol- ‘ r.jies had to be made, and we look our de part ore. The company Wad as-emb.ed on the fin T *> i- 1 cane deck—a crowd bid collected on the : wharf—and as we shoved off the hand struck , up a lively air, I then had lime to look i around me and take a peep at our fair and trusting visitors. Delicacy forbids that I : should individualize, but there was one dark- j eyed Senora, with true .Mexican comn'exinn, who attracted universal attention. Her soft, j drooping black eye, fine contour of features, an;l stately form were the subject of admira ation. Our interest in her was increased j when we were told that she was destined to earlv widowhood. Her husband, poor fellow, 1 was fast dving with consumption. But lew | of the ladies could talk English, and I was I ' therefore afraid the affair would go (iff stiff!j Before we had gone live miles, paitners ( were called for a quadrille. The ice was broken; tf?e magic- of hapuiness which ever hangs o’er rhe movements of the d nice, imme diately communicated itself to our I a»r guests. Ev es that were dull now sparkle I—the 1 —the tim'd were assured—and all seemed to say ‘‘We have come for amusement and whether with i enemies or fronds, we are determined to ; have it.” The took the place i of the quadrille. I sat in the stern of the 1 boat and contemplated the scene; if was one that could not but he viewed with the great est interest. Here we were in the enemy's country—the fair Mexicans, confiding i" our honor, were unhesitatingly trusting ihem selves in the waltz with officers rommand • ing troops opposed to their countrymen. A I Ldy expressed her-elf to me, “that when it | was pro} o-ed she had not the remotest idea that it would come off.” This pleasant re j union cannot but have a happy effect, socially I and politically; it brings us together, and it is | only bv association that we can lie known; they will see that we are not tbe ‘barbarians’ as represented, but, like themselves, are ‘gay and light-hearted,’ and can dance to the ‘mer ry Castanet.’ Stately and rapidly moved the steamer— the graceful and happy couples whirled away in the waltz—the music stole softly o’er the broad and placid r ver, and the deep green woods re-echoed sounds of happiness. I was lost in tlie quiet, tranquil beauty of the scene was reflecting bow soon these graceful j arms which now supported beauty, those I manly foru s might “bite the dust,” when mv | dn-am was disturbed by the cry of “the ; brick-yard!” Sure enough, there it was, in | j the elbow of the river, TV e had sailed tvven- I i ty-lwo miles, scarcely without being aware | of it. We soon reached there, and the boat was fastened at the landing. It bad been arrang ed we should sail to the brick yard, and theie j complete the frolic, by dancing at the bouse < of the hospitable owner, who, by the by, was an American. Just as we were going on shore, a canoe shoved nut from the landing, and was paddled tip the stream, beated in h, under a rover made es raw hides, was a mo ther and two beautiful girls. They had left | the citv in the morning, and were on their way to some village on the Barmen. All ex- | claimed—“ Stop them, and have them join j in the festivities !” Every effort was made, | but without success. \Ve all disembarked, and promenaded a- j round the gentleman’s garden, and then be took ourselves to the house; it vvas quite ca pacious. With M.’s usual energy and man agement, a roc ta was soon prepared for our 6 1 :ancj ng; nqr empty bottles served as candle | sticks. Having had the precaution to bringa box of candles, the room was brillian'ly illu minated. Bv this time, we were on the best kind of terms with all, and the dance com menced with renewed glee. Few quadrilles : are danced—they are devoted to the waltz and the centre d mee, which is a happy corn* b nation of the I\v«»; the figures of the latter (Juice are beau iluf; even the polka was danced. For the first time in five years, 1 wafized the whole even ng. There is no sucit thing as an appropriation or monopoly ■ of a b is. Daring the vva'iz. if a gentleman vv -hrs to waltz with anv particular ladv, he signifies hi- wish, and her partner immediate ly resigns her. You waltz with her two or j three times round and then return her to her i partner. It is a delightful and mo-f sensible j cii siom. and if only introduced into I lie States, | might be conducive o' much more social) li ly and kindness of feeling, and prune-off'a little of that selfishness which causes the monopoly of a iictle by a lew. to the exclu sion of m any, and probably more ardentad i mirers. At 8 o'clock a most excellent supper wnsset on board of tlic t»oal, to vvh cli the ladies were u tiered by a march. Sociability, happiness, and confidence reigned throughout, and amidst the exhiliration of champagne we returned to tbe dance. Wnether bright ev rs were realU bright er, and fair forms fairer, 1 know not, but yet they seemed so, as With renewed joy the dance was commenced. Amid a happy dance the steamboat belt tolled t lie hour of return; wt embarked upon the placid river, and to the sound of music, glided rapidly to the city. Ihe moon, most unfortunately, bad been obscured, but she deigned one smile upon u-, as it' in approbation ot tbe scene. W e land ed at the wharf with the band playing, at 12 o'clock ; and our fair guests retired to ihcirhomes, apparently gratified with their trip. It. is to be hoped no matter where the fortunes of war carry us. tb it the menioiy of the Brick V ard Pie Nic, given by American Offi .‘ers to the ladies of i aoi pi ■(), will lie ever fresh. tSu much for pic ides. AUGUSTA. GKO.. SUNDAY MOIt.MNG, Al'lilL 13, 18(7. Tlietil) Council, and C cpt - in Campbell’s Couipmif. No little excitement exists in tills commu nity by the refusal of the City Conned on ! Tuesday last, to appripriate two hundred dollars, to refund in part the preliminary ex penses of raising this company. We under stand that the proposition was rejected by i something like a party vote. Messrs. Har per, Conley, Kitchen, Huff and Bishop, all 1 vvlihr-. voting against it nd all t lie democrats i m the Council—namely, Garvin, Parish, Dugas and Hopkins voting for it. Kirkpat rick vvas the only whig who voted with the democrats. This made a tie, and the Mayor, a whig, gave tiie casting vote, by’ which the resolution was lost. Is Augusta to lie ranked side by side with ‘Federal Massachusetts,” in opposition to this war with Mexico? We hope not, yet this vote is near akin to that which brought n j»on that state such general reprobation. It bears a striking resemblance to the vote of the Massachusetts legislature, refusing an appropriation for her regiment of volunteers, ! \Ve would have not made these comments I perhaps, had the city council been consistent. | Having acted with such liberality in the first 1 instance, why should it be niggardly in the second? If the city could not affird folte lib ; oral on such an occasion, it should have kept the purse string drawn tight, on the first ap plication. But Capt. Dill’s company received : an appropriation of sixteen hundred and fifty dollars, while t'apt. Campbell’s is refused the pittance of two hundred dollars. It may be replied perhaps, tha’ the one was a company iof volunteers—the other of regulars. We I know no reason for a distinction on this | ground, unless it be in favor of greater merit ; of the latter company. They enlist for the war, five years, the former only for twelve months. Had they’ been drafted, it would her. different matter. But they are not less volunteers, because they enlisted in the regular service. It is well known too, that as originally organiz'd, they were vol unteers in name, as well as in fact, and as such offered their services to the government. |Fr Wo nolle, d a handsome boat forty feet in jength, and lea feet in width, with comfortable scats and a roof corresponding somewhat to a hurricane deck, passed up Broad street yesterday on wheels. It vva? drawn hv six horses, and car ried to the basin of the Canal, where it was launched. We understand that it has becnbu.lt by Mr. J. G. Stallings for the purpose of carrying pleasure parties who may wish to make excur sions upon the Canal. It will accommodate as many as seventy per. sons. * We have no doubt it will prove a profitable rn icrpnze, and the means of contributing much to the enjoyment of our citizens.

Cotton. — Arrived since the Bth inst,, 4.143 Upland, (575 per Hail Road.) and 127 bales Sea Island. Idle exports for same period have been (> ,785 hales Upland and 231 do.

Onr last review left (he Upland market linn, with light sales, in consequence of the small stork on hand an I the high pretensions ofselhra. Du rinc the week there ha’-'e been several arrivals of par»ct ships from Liverpool, bringing dates down to the 21st ult. There appears to have been a I gradud decline in that market, amounting to j about id- since the departure of the steamer of ' the 4th March. This is attributed in part to the I working of short time in a large number of mills i in the manufacturing districts, which operates as ; a bar to the usual demand. The money market i had also become more stringent, and money on i the best securities was bringing sto 5* per cent. I The Bank of England, er, had not raise ! j its rate otinterest. he sales of Cotton for the week ending 13th ult., were 18000 bates—for the ! week ending llkh ult, only 1(3,000, including 2,- : 000 for exportation. It is i npossihle to say what effect these accounts | w ill Imveon nur market. There his been but i little doing since their receipt —not enough to | i stablish prices, and we, therefore, omit quota i lions. The sales of the week amount to only 1,393 bales, as follows, l2at 10 92 at 10J; 00 at JO,*; I 121 at Id|; 312 at 10*; 250 at IOJ 32 at 11; 141 | at II L 203 at 11 R 40 at 11 J; and 31 bales at 11 i j c.-nts per pound. Bice.—The season has so far advanced that ; holders have been anxious to dispose of their j stocks and sales have consequently been madeat j a slight decline. There is very little now in first hands, and most of that is in the rough, and will on ybebe A out to meet the demand. The sales of liie week amount to 1.021 casks at the follow i ing particulars: 187 at $$ 50; 303 at 83,625; 190 jat S3.(iß|; 87 at 53,75; 75 at 53,875; 153 at S 4; ( and 2d tierces at 81,25 per hundred pounds. Flour. —There has been a good demand for Georgia Flour this week for shipment to Europe. We note sales ofupwards of 450 hhls, at (3i to s>Gj per bbl. Small lots brought B(s| per bid.— There is a large quantity ofFiour received from the up-country in hags, which meets a ready sale forcityu e.it being preferred to that put up in the usual way, in consequence of the great dif ference in the weight of the barrels—the tare on some am ranting to at least from six to ten pounds more than that on others. There is also another objection to purchasing Flour from the interior, and that is the careless manner of making and hooping the barrels. If our agricultural friend* would pav a little more attention lotnese matters, they would find themselves more than comgco-- sateil in the enhanced price of the article. Groceries. —There has been nothing doing this week except in a retail way. We hear of no sales of Molasses, and but one lot of 10 hhd». New Orleans Sugar, at cents per pound. 50 hags Rio Coffee brought 8$ cents per pound, and 25 do. cents per pound.
