wounded officers at the favorable account here given. The headquarters of Gen. Scott arc licre in Tacubaya, where Gen. Worths's division is also quartered. Gen. Pillow is at Mixcoae, two miles .south. General Twiggs at San Angel, about four miles south, and Gen. Quitman at San Agustine. Some sickness prevails in the army, but the health of the troops may be put down as generally good. The wounded officers are all doing well. A day or two since botli Lieut. Hamilton and Ilcllaway were reported us in a dangerous con dition, but I believe that all danger is now con sidered as over. A feeling of gloom overspread our city yes terday when the story was current that Gen erals Worth, Pillow and Smith were killed. Three more gallant spirits have not figured upon the glorious theatre where American valor has shone so conspicuously. The rea der will perceive however, that the death of the latter is the only one spoken of with cer tainty. May it prove that even in this the wri ter (a Mexican) is mistaken, and that they all •arrive to honor and be honored by their country. The largest estimate in figures of our loss is 1700 —and this too is a Mexican estimate. It is very reasonable to suppose that it is greatly exaggerated. As to Gen. Scott’s loss being from one-fourth to one-third of his army, we look upon this conjecture as altogether destitute of probabilify. Now that the city of Mexico is in our pos session the question arises, what terms shall be next offered to Mexico? Or shall this govern ment now hold the entire country, declare it conquered and establish a provisional govern ment over it, with such laws and municipal le gulations as may suit the exigency? This lat ter seems not only in itself the best policy for the present, but the only alternative left. When our Congress meets, “the assembled wisdom of the nation” may devise and direct a permanent policy in the premises. Since M. ixico has chosen not to make peace, except on terms wholly inadmissible by this country, the next alternative seems to be, war unto sub jugation. This result may prove ultimately a blessing to that distracted country. It will be the means of annihilating the power of her present military despots, and of introducing among them more of the genius of true Re publicanism and of our free institutions. They may then for the first time, become a happy, enlightened and prosperous people. The following, from the Baltimore Sun of the 2Dth ult., accounts for our failure to re ceive telegraphic despatches from points fur ther North. The Telegraph between this city and Phi!a- : delphia still remains out of order, the break, we learn, being beyond Wilmington, Del.— We are consequently without our usual com mercial despatch from New York. f From, the Chronicle Sentinel, 30A tdf. | Internal Improvement EScetinj at Knoz ville.
