We have here quite a hospital of
wounded men, comprising 43 privates,
three Mexican prisoners—one of whom
has lost Imth legs—and tlic following of
ficers of the U. S. Army:
Got; McIntosh, fith Infantry, was pierc
ed through the mouth with a bayonet
and shot in three places.
Col. Payne, Insp'r Gen., shot in the
tip.
Cnpt. Page, 4th Infantry, lower jaw,
part of the tongue and upper teeth shot
away. He is suffering dreadfully. .
Capt. lloe, 6(h Infantry, right arm shot
off"above the elbow.
Lieut. Gates, Stli Infantry, right arm
broken anil shot in the left hand.
Lieut. Jordan, Slh Infantry, shot and
bayoncited ip several plal-es.
.Lieut. Luther, 2d Artillery, lower lip
shot off.
It is expected that all the above will
recover, but most of them will require
great care.
News has just arrived that a body of
marines from ibe fleet anticipated the ar
rival of Col. Wilson at Barita, by march
ing upon the Mexicans, who immediately
evacuated the post. The inhabitants of
the town then hailed the marines, and
■forthwith seul them fresh beef and other
provisions. We arc going- there never

The fiery-eyed head of party spirit is up,

which it would cost to defend them. No! American
eitixeas are not tbc dupes of hirelings, neither are
they excited by base and mean passions, or engaged
in an unholy cause. 8uch slanders can emcnate
from none but their enemies. They are now as
they hare ever been and ever will be, worthy of Connecticut,
their Revolutionary ancestors—true to themselves Rhode Island,
and their country—capable of conquering their; New York,
foreign invaders, and appreciating the merits of j ? ew Jv rse y,
their domestic foes.
In answer lo the-qnestion propoandod to as by
the Courier, as to what will be tbe course of policy
which the President will pursue towards Mexico,
we answer confidently, judging of tbe future by the
past, that it will be neither “ temporising” or “ wild
and reckless,” but that it will be lulled to tbe oc
casion, calm, consistent, firm and energetic.

When the Jas. L. Day left, 'Gen. Taylor

When the New York left, he was at Point

which our readers should note. At tbe
time of tbe previous advices, it was re
ported that, by order of Gen. Taylor, a
bridge, by means of wagons hitched to
