MISCELLANY. _ it i —r “ ———— L THOUGH rs ON LAWYER*. • * HI TitKODORK S. FAT. - The nominal purposeof a Goutt of Justice is lo seek the truth ; bat i question whether ihe truth i# ever in oihor places more attacked, aneered at, brow beaten, ridft’uUtl. and put nu< of countenance, It is [hr. truth, which every one in his turn finds il his interest to con ceal. it is truth that every one is afraid us. Liven the parly ino*l unequivocal!) in ihe right, is anxious lo exclude the truth from the oiher side, leal it may seem lo contradict In* o-vn ; and all the lawyers, and even ftj•• judge, seem us much on the watch to stop the witnest-e's mouth, every two minutes, a* they have Keen to make him cone there to open it. To me, one of the moat ndteutou* things ill the world is a witness nwoq the stand, trying (poor fellow !) to give hia tesli- \ m>liv. He i, we will suppose, not in the slightest degree interested in cither of the parties. a::d doubtless wt*he* them both lied needier by the neck, and drop ped off the stern of one of the North River steamboat*, lie comes into the court, not voluntarily, hut draped if he resists, by two or three scowling ministers of the law, wfiu. from the mere fxet of his being presumed to know something about the pending suit, think them* wJvs* entitled to treat him as if he bad hern brought Op for robbing a hen roo>t. He is forced from his busmen* or his amusements fr the purpose of speak ing the truth, and he inwardly rccolves lo tell the whole t-'tory. ** toon a* possible, and get rid of the liNOg. He thinks he knows the worst. He thinks the loss of ume. and the awkwardness of spiking for the fi st time of his lrte in public, are th * extern of his vfifledng#. Unsuspecting victim! lie no sooner mourn* the stand, than ire finds himself at once the centre of a rtreie of eneu ie*, ard l oki tig a position rM greatly unlike that of a prison© in an Indian war v*nce.

Witness. —Your honor. Judge. —Tell the plain fact of this assault—tell the jury what you know about it—remember you are here to speak the truth raise your voice—turn your face to the jury. What do you know of this affair l The poor wretch commences again. The first, se cond. third, and fourth I iwver continuing to skirmish around him all the while, like a parcel of wild Aral’s fighring for ihe clothes of some unhappy prisoner. Ho far from gening a chance to say the tiuth, the poor man can’t get a chance to sav any thing. At length, bewildered out of his lecolleclion—frightened, insulted and indignant—however really desirous of telling the truth, he etoirb>. upon some inconsistency ; some tri liuig. or not tr fling p irsdox—accounted (or at once, and to every one’s eutire satisfaction, by the idea that he has lorgotten. But then comes the cross examina- I lion. I ben the scientific artillcy of a cool, able law yer, sharpened by thirty years ot similar practices, is brought lo bear upon one trembling, and already ner- I vous stranger; perhaps ignorant, perhaps a boy. Then comes the laugh of judge and jury, the murmur of as tonishment from the crowd, that a person could be found degraded and base enough lo say that “the de fendant wore a little rimmed hut,'’ when he acknowl edged subsequently off his guard, that the hat h id “fl tijeruhle large rim.” Then the poor tellow, sore nil : over, and nut quite sure that he will uot himself be] sent to the Stales prison, at ten years hard labor, for pnjury, before the .week haa rolled uwav, although he is the only person in the court who doea not, in a grealer or lias degree, merit that punishment, is dis missed lo a bench, a few yards off, where he is obliged lo remain to hear the lawyers, in their address lo the jury, tear his character lo pieces with line turns of rhcioiick, and yet finer gesticulations, “U hat, gentlemen of Ihe jury,” says the first law yer, summing up in a tone of the deepest contempt -what doea the next witness, Mr. Hoggs, say 1” ben tlenirn, lie comes fotuard under the most peculiar cir cumstances. A dnk mystery shrouds bis motives, which i shall not endeavor to altogether dissolve. But he conics forward, and he lakes lua place upon that witness's stand, with the open, the avowed, the undis guised, the unafiectcd, the determined resolution lo fix upon my client, the injured Mr. Swipes, this tout and unnatural assault and battery. You saw him, gentle men, when I cross examined him, tremble under nrv eye—you siw him hesitate and turn pale at my voice.” ( J'be first lawyer, very probably, has a voice that would in'im date a bear.) “You heard him stammer and take back his wolds, and say he did ‘not recollect.’ Is this, gentlemen of the jury, an h<mest wilntsa ! The language of li util is plain and simple—it requires no previous calculation. If I ask you if you saw the sun set to-day, you answer ves. or no—you do not hesitate, you do not tremble. You do not say “ves, I did,” and in tbe very next breath, say “no. I did not.” You do not at hist I- II me, >-! walked ten miles yesterday.” and afterwards say “yesterday I was all day ill in bed,” (flee ope of the jurors pul Ilia nose by that of anoth er, and utters something in approbation us this argu ment, and the other one nods his he id and looks at the speaker, ns much as to say, “there is no use in try ing to elude the sagacity of this keen-sighted lawyer. Tbe withers had much better have tokl tha truth.) •Now, gentlemen, what does thie witness say ! He 1 commenced by telling you, gentlemen, that ho liied in Maiden lane, that he was going home on tbe day i when this ridiculous and unnatural assault is said to have taken place, that he saw s crowd, that he ap proached, that he saw Mr. bwipes, my client, the de- ‘ feridsnt in this action, come up to the plaintiff, Mt. Wliking, and give him, W tilting, Ihe said plaintiff, a blow with a bludgeon. But, gentlemen, when 1 come lo sift this plausible story, you heard him equivocate j and contradict himself. “What sort of a hat had Mr. Swipes nn V’ -A black one.” “Os what breadth was Ihe rim 1” “About au inch.” He thought, doubtless, that he was to have every thing his own way, till 1 ] brought up to tbe stand to confront him, the hatter, who made anti sold the hat, and proves to you that the run waa broad. You cannot morally doubt that tbe hat worn on that day, by Swipes, was a broad brim med hat; all of the witneases for tho defendant swear H, and even Mr. Boggs httnse'f, when closely question ed, acknowledged that it might have been a broad brimmed bat. Next, gentlemen, the pantaloons. What color were Ihe eolor of Mr, Swipes’ pantaloonsT— “Black,” said this Mr. Bogga. Gentlemen, I hare produced these pantaloons iu court. They have been identified beyond the possibility of doubt. Whal waa the result! You saw, yourselves, gentlemen. The pantaloons were pepper and salt.” A cry of admiration throughout the court room.— Tbe officer cries order. The pom witness unfortu nately occupies a conspicuous seat, and all eyes are fixed upon him with Ihe most virtuous indigntliun. He is calculating at what sacrifice he can wind up hia holiness and go and settle in Kentucky. The lawyer waxes triumphant, and after a withering lonk at Boggs, goes on. “Furthermore, gentleman. I n-ked this witness to describe the bludgeon. 1U could not, Had tl ivory or gold on the hr,die 7 He could not tell. Wn lhere ; u ferule upon the end ! Hid not know. Wa* it hea vy ! Yes.

Yes. he • had said that tho scoundrel ought to have been ash am -led of himself. Was Mr. Wilkins’ hat knocked oil ? No. Hut before he left the stand, he that h* mw the blood on the top of the plaintiff’s head. How could he see the top of his head unless the hat had been knocked oil ? Another buz. The witness here rose and aaid, “Mr. Wilkin* took it off to show me'* I Officer. —Silence, there ! I Judge. —Witness, you must not interrupt the roun* : sel, You have hud your turn on tho stand. You then had the opportunity to sly what you pleased. If you are again guilty of so great an mdecoium, 1 shall he obliged to commit you. Witney* stands stupid. Officer —“Sit and wn !” (in a tone of indignant com mand. Witness sit* down. Officer scowls at him ss if he would snap hi* hea l off ) 1 shall not follow the h arried gentleman further. I appeal only to every wpnessihat has ever been brought into a court of justice, whether he ha- not often found it the most difficult place in the world to tell the truth in, and whether, when the tiuth was at length told, tnere ever were so many attempts made to my at fv it? Whether so much of what every one present knew in his heart lo be the truth, could any wh*re el>e he de liberately rejected . and whether, when this poor, bela bored, mutilated, unhippy truth, so much demanded, was at length produced, it did not have such an aspect, so disguised that its own mother might not have known it? DOMESTIC. From the N. O. Cornrucrcial Times • I.ATEK THOM J HE ARMY. Arrival of tub Galyestox. —The steamship Galveston arrived yesterday evening from Brutoa San tiago vis Galveston, hiving left the former place on the : 29th, and the latter on the 30th ulfmo. We have not received any correspondence from j Monterey (the mail not being distributed yesterday) ! of a later date than we published on thr arrival of the ’ Palmetto last Thursday, but the Galveston News of the 30ih, furnishes some intelligence, which we sub join : From Col. Davis, we learn that the Mexicans have totally evacuated the wbo'e country this side us San Lou s Potosi. The information has been derived from so many sources that there is now no doubt of this fact. j They left behind seme forty dragoons to destroy the j fortifications that had been constructed at Los Muertos, a naturally strong and difficult pas-3 on the road to Sal tillo, and about five or six miles beyond the Eicon ids. They have also dismantled Saltillo, destroying whatev er might be of use to our armv , and which they could not tike away. Thus there is nothing now left for lien. Taylor to cor.quor, but a barren region of tugged mountains and thiisty plains, affording neither water nor provisions for the subsistence of man or beast, over a distance of two or three hundred miles to San Luis Potosi. If, as has been said, Gen. Taylor has orders [ to march upon San Luis Potosi, so as to reach thi* city | by the end of November, the question arrises how he is to traverse such a country, as he will have to do, by a forced march at the rate of fifteen or twenty miles per day ? The only water on this route is in the Mex ican tanks, which will and lubtless be all broken up as ihe enemy retires. To carry water sufficient to save his army and teams from suffering would probably re quire more horses, mules and oxen than are in the ar my, all of which aie required for the transportation of the necessary stores and munitions. In making this retreat the enemy have doubtless adopted a wise policy, leaving behind them a lar more formidable enemy for Gen. Taylor to encounter fviz: this march) than he could ever find in their own arms and fortified towns. This policy ha* unquestionably been dictated by the sagacity of Santa Anna. It is stated, on good author ity, that he had sent orde s to Ampudia to evacuate Monterey, and all other places this side the mountains, but that those orders were not received till after the battle. After leaving the troops necessary to garrison Mon- 1 terey, Haltillo and other towns, Gen. Taylor will only j have an army of about 5000 men with which lo pene- ; tiate into the enemy’s country, and far beyond the j reach of any reserve upon which he minht fall back for ‘ suppo't in case of necessity. Hnch we believe is a cor rect account of the present position and prospects of | our army, as derived from good authoiity, Gen. Am- I pudia has been superseded in cominsrid, but the name j of his successor is not remembered. Mo.NTKHki. —Nothing new has been received at : Galveston from the headquarters of Gen Taylor. Preparations, says the Flag, for future hostile opera ! tions on our aide are rapidly progressing. By the lime I the armistice shall have expired, everything will have leen completed to insure success in future engage ments or movements. These preparations will no doubt, be still more accelerated when the orders fiom Wavhington are received, to recommence hostilities immediately without regard to the armistice, which has j not been approved of. Trading parties of Mexicans ; arriving at Matumoros from Monterey arid vicinity, ! stated that all their troops had been withdrawn from Haliillo, and sre concentrating at Han Luis Potosi, 1 where Hanta Anna is stated to have arrived. A Mex ican who arrived io Mata moron the 23d ult., staled that there are no preparations making at the pas* of the Riconada to dispute the passage of our irmy to Halld ; 10, and that Haltillo will not he defended. Tbit, however, is hearsay intelligence, and not at all to be relied on. LATER FROM THE ARMY. We h a>.ten to subjoin a |>ortion of ouf corrpapnnencc j ffeived by ibe (Julvesion.

Gbxtlkmkm In my last letter 1 intimatid to you that every thing was very ijuiet about Monterey. and the indication* were in favor of n continuance of the I calm, until the expiration of the eight weeks moot n ---! ed in the terms of capitulations or the return ot •'apt- Kalon, the aid of (Jen. Taylor, from Washington City, j Up m ‘lie time of my depatlure on the fCth, nothing indicated any change in the state of thiuga. The dis charge of the Texas troops and their departure caused the town to tie more tranquil than ever. Not many ot the Mexicans had returned to the place, as they are yet alraid; l*ut that will not probably continue much longer. Before my beparture, the account of the departure \ I °f General Ampudia from Saltillo with the army was tolly continued. Ht proposed to fortify that town and j make another stand ; therefore lie called on the citi i zens to assist him. They held a meeting, and the all- 1 , wer to his call wss, Monterey was a town nnlurully ‘ j easier ot defence than SalllHo, that it was well tonified, j and he had been driven out of it, therefore they would j not expo-e their families and property to certain injti !ry and danger. The tienerul then left, taking the j road towads San tuis Potoai. I have this moment seen a letter from Satinas, dated ! 18th mat. in which the wrtlct stales—“ I beard last j night that Santa Anna was at San Cuts Potoai, with 130 000 men, artillery and infantry, lie hid sent his i cavalry near Monterey, m the mountains, to a place I called Labradores where the Governor of Monterey is ;at present. I also heard that a parly of 12 Texans, on their way from Monterey home, had all been murder ed near Latnpasos, a place about ten leagues north of Salinas.” The first part of this statement is not to he relied on. 1 I here were no such accounts at Monterey on the 17th j inst. There is no such place as Labradores near Mon- I terey, unless it be a small rancho. Gov. Llano, it is known, w™ not there, because, his whereabouts had been ascertained n ft-w days before. Salinas is much J fatlher from San Luts Potoai than Monterey, end ihat part of the story is but the extension of a report cur rent at the latter place ten days tielore the time men tioned. As to the killing of the Texans near Lampa soe, it is not improbable. The troops from that State were disbanded at Monterey, and a number set off on i the road by Salinas, Latnpasis, etc., to Loredo on tho , Hio Grande. They were without ptovisions fur them selves, or food for their horses, a certain sum being a|. j lowed for each day’s expenses. Their organization j wss broken up. and they went off in parties, many ( without oilier arms than pistol* and kni'u*, It is very f piobaM© they levied Contribution* on the people. anJ :in that way got into difficulty. At first, all the public arm* were taken away, and it wa* not until Gen Hen derson sent Col. Hays to Gen. ‘I aylor, the arms were restored, to he delived up at Bexar in Texas. Many then would not go to get them. During the truce. I shall run down to Matsmoros and Point Isabel, but have faithful chroniclers at Mon terey to record any important event; and you will be regularly informed. G. K. The (Jrncrul iri Chief of t he Army of the Firth, to the 1 1 habitants of the three Provinces of iht Last, j Cui nth * mL5f i—The supreme Government being anxious to attend to the defence of the rights nod in legrity of our beloved, Republic, agiinst the enemies who have invaded it, has thought proper to appoint me Cointnander-in Chief of the brave troops destined to that holy purpose in the North. I immediately flew with eutbusismn to thi* section, my desire to sustain the rights of the people being notorious, and at the commencement of ihe present mouth. I was hi Monte rey. and ctatirig an I offering all the measures in my pow er. if* repel the advance of our enemies. Thinking, however, that an immense weight wis imposed up *n me, an I feeling mv inability. I entreated that hia Ex cellency the Gin. D m Juau Nepoinucno de Almonte, should come and lake Ihe command, supposing that illustrious conqueiof of Panueo would, on his arrival in Mexico, assume the reins of the National Govern ment. I he enemy on the I9ih inst. made his appearance near my head- quarters st Monterey, and enc imped in the wood of Santo Domingo; tl.eirencampment being three mites in Ungtb, and about nine in ciicumference, ! gave oider* to ob-urve diligently ail their movements and to h mas- them * much as po.-sihle, all the gen erals and chief* under mv command being determined to fight theifi sooner th in retire, ‘i he citadel or fort of the Mona * u ry, aimed some good shot* at the ene my, who employed the day in reconnuiteriog and pre paring for their attack. They romrneno and their attack on the 3 st with a foruiid ‘hie mass, composed of the greatei part of their regular troops, upon tbe bridge of the I’urLima and the forts of hi. on del l) ablo ami Tereria, but they were victoriously repulsed by our valiant veterans, causing them a positive los* of 1500 men. On the 23d. in the morning; Gen. Tavlor directed his columns of attack upon the Archbishop’a hill, a point commanding the city, and although in their first advance the enemy suffered severely they again came to the charge with a brigade composed almost entirely of regular troop*, and two of our largest guns and one hewilzer (obuss) were unfortunately blown up, Not withstanding that misfortune, 1 sent a reinfoicement of Infantry, with two liu lit pieces of artillery, as soon as I was informed of the event. They arrived too late, fti(‘ enemy were already in possession of the position and work*. This accident Compelled me to concen trate my forces in the Plaza, to enable me to offer a j more vigerous defence to the invader*, and repel, as we j | did, their attacks upon tiie streets and Imuses of Mon- j , tere. Under these circumstance, oor ammunition and provisions were getting scarce, and notwithstanding j the valor and energy with which all our combatmts, j veteran* and auxiliaries were animated, I proposed to ! the General of the enemy lo open a conference, by ( which the national honor, that of our arms and of the particular division under my Command, with their arms . equipments and baggage were saved. This is a true relation of the operations of the cam- j paign up to the 24th instant, and although the scarci ty of means, materials, and other circumstances, have compelled us lo such a result, we should not for a mo- | meut lose out courage, as ‘.he Republic will bring in'.o j action all is great elements, and with one victory, \ which we may, shall and mu>t obtain, the problem will j be definitively solved in favor ol onr arms. People of the East: The alternative that was taken j at Monterey is of no great coosequ- nee, particularly when you bear in mind that in a short time the iavor ite General of the Mexican*, his Excellency Don An- I tonio Lopez de Santa Anna, will personally direct the campaign, in the meantime, let the sarred flame of a love for your country, burn in your bosoms* and we •hall, without doubt, triumph oer our enemies. PfcDßo de Ampudia, Head-Quarters at Saltillo, Sept. 29th, 1846. Mexico. —Private advices from the city of Mexico up to the 29th September inform us that Santa Anna had left the capitol on that morning with 2000 Caval ry and 800 Infantiy. He was utterly unsuccessful in racing a loan of two millions on a mortgage of the | revruuesof the Church, as the lien was considered by i capitalist* illegal. He then applied for $2,000,000, but could merely obtain $27,000. which was the sum total j with which be started. fßaota Anna proceeds to San Louis Potosi where he will halt, and concentrate the whole of the Mexicau forces. Instructions have been forwarded to the Gen eral commanding the Army of the North to make no further resistance at !5uliiIlo ; but to fall back upon San Luis Potosi, Correspondcnee of the Few York Express. Washington. Oct. 29. THE LAST NEWS FROM MEXICO. The second arrival of depatcbe3 from Monterey has not served to impart any fresher impulses to the ad ministration. Those in authority, I believe from what I learu, are becoming convinced tliat upon the whole Gen. ‘Paylor tbd well in making the terms with the eeemy which was the result of the capitulation with Ampudia. The loss of life would have been un questionably double what it was if the battle* of Sep tember had been further prosecuted. Tbe Mexicans would would h*ve suffered the most, but such whole sale carnage a* would have ensued from a continu ance of the fight would have been the poorest possi ble satisfaction. • Gen. Taylor would have found more prisoners in and about his camp thuo lie had sold ers in his own army. Thcse.J too, would have to be fed and he had not the provisions to feed them wtih.— They would also have to he placed under secure guard and he had not ihe numerical force to guard them.— Then a* now he could only have found hunself in se cure possession of th© city, which was the great ob ject of the baltfe. The Administration owe it both to Gen. Taylor, and ilie brave oflic rs who advised the terms of capit- j ulatton. to speak out upon this matter. The disposi tion thus fr ha* hern to tgb in the dark, and this without the courage to condemn publicly. Il is wise- j ly t-did by iho**e who know the exact condition of the ; two a-mies, ihe country where the billies were fought 1 and the usages of war, that Gen. Taylor acted with ■ the greatest discretion, particularly in preventing the dismantling of the Mexican fortress* s at Monterey, | and in requiring the Cathedral, the fort, and the whole city, with every means of defence in it, to be j placed in the keeping of a board of American officer*, j The terms us armistice and boundary, also place the ! enemy beyond the formidable Saltillo Pass, of which we have heard so much, and which from all accounts presented the greatest obstruction on the route to JBa* tillo. The Mexicans are now put far beyond this, 1 and cannot fortify the points as it has been predicted , they would do, but without any coirect knowledge of the country, where the armtee were stationed on the roads beyond. So in- regard to the time gianted for the suspension of hostilities. >t was needed by Gen. Ta)lor. The previous long marches of hia troops, the hard fighting for three successive days, the sick ness in his camp, the great n urn her of troops behind | him, between Molamoias and Monterey, amounting to quite four thousnnd men, the necessity of a junc- j tuie with the forces ot Gen. Wool—good sen-e atll humanity, all alike dictated the leims finallv agreed ; upon, arid time will prove them to be so. Thegrunr- t biers of the Metropolis who sit and suek their thumbs * in the W lute House, in the Public Offices, or by their own firesides, appeir lo know ai little of the moralh and decencies of wia a* the Camanehe Indians. Th© ■ distance between Monterey and Han Luis Potosi hr 1 more than the distance between Matarnoras and Mon- j terey, and the whole route though passable for men mid mules, is but litile less than a desert. In what condition would Gen. Taylor have been to set out on { this march on the 2fitli Heptemkur w ith from seven te ten thousand prisoners, and a great city of eighty | thousand men before him welt fbrlified, and in corn- I plcte possession of the enemy—this with the whole journey through an enemy’s country T The Admini stration was demented to expert it, and had such ex pectations been realized, nothing but a miracle could have Raved the army. The city of Mexico, with two hundred thousand people, was still further from Han Luis Potosi than Mon'erey from the Capitol of New Leon, and yet the wish appears to have been that all those places should have been conquered while I one could rnako a hurried journey from point to point. I I believe, from the President to the Secretary of Wor ; there is not a member of tbe Cabinet who is n>t deeply sensible us the great blunder* which have been committed in invading Mexico by the way of MatuißOfa* and Monterey. It bat cost the country the Uvee of live hundred brave men slain in battle, h<ra* of them the flower of the army, and others equally distinguished for their services in council. — Twice this number have died by diseases worse than the pestilence which walketh in darkness, and the de struction that wastelb at noou-day. because they have died a lingering and painful death. Scores of men have be< n maimed and mutilated for life, and all in an unnecessary and inglorious war, which while it has given renown to our army the world over, has no where conferred any credit upon the administration which is alone responsible for the war. There is a desire now to escape the consequences : of these ill timed results, and to that end orders have been given for an attack upon Tampico and Alvarado. These pUc s lie far apart, the former at the North, and the latter South of Vera (Jrua. The impression i* that instructions have been sent out that Commit ; time Cennor should attack one point and Commodore Perry the other. This should have been done long ago. and why is it not dona is a great puzzle to the ■ officers “f the navy, who have been panting to distin guish themselves, and toevery body else. It is thought here by many from the tenor of the I lant news remved that the Mexicans will make a very | stoat resi tuuce at Saltillo. The letters from Monte | rcy all make mention of this, though without any ! better authority than rumor. One thing is certain, and that is, we are only now in the midst of the war. When Congress adjourned the end of it was predict ed. by friends of the administration, before the com m mcefrfertt of Autumn. November is most upon us and the war has only fairly commenced. E. D* A novel plan has been suggested for the captuie of the castle of Vera Ctuz by the American arms. The Lancaster, Pa. lb-publican contains a communication from Mr. J. YVisk, the srotiaui, in winch the scheme is thus giavely detailed: Although the plan I shall propose may w?m novel to many, still a brief detail of it I think will satisfy the most incredulous of its efficacy. In the first place it will require the construction of a B .loon of common twilled muslin, of about one hundred feet diameter.— This machine properly coated with varnish, will retain its bouyancy for many days or weeks. It will be ca pable, when inflated, to raise over 30.000 pounds. Say 20.000 independent • f Ms wwn weight, net-work, car and cable, it can be inflated hi ad iy, or less time if necessary. The process of inflation may be accom plished on land, oi on boaid a man ot war at sea, a* circumstances may require. The car to be loaded with percussioned bomb shells and torjK'does to ‘he amount of 18,000 pounds, which will leave 3,000 lbs. fur ballast and men. Thus it will be ready to be placed in a position for deadly action, in a very short time. The cable by which it is to be nianouvere'd may be at least 5 miles long, >o that the balloon at a mile of elevation would leave the vessel, o> land position, which acts as the retaining point, nut of the reach of the Castle guns, and under the cover of our own batteries. The man of war balloon, hovering a mile above the Castle like n cloud of destruction, would be entirely out of danger of the enemies’ guns, since they could not be made to bea? at an object immediately above them. The position of the balloon as to height, arid distance fiom the retain ing point, coulJ be easily maintained by keeping a pro per eye to its ballasting. A* it would become lighten ed by the discharge of shells and torpedoes, an adequate quuutity of gas can also be discharged. it a gun from the Castle could be ever made to bear upon the war balloon, it would soon be silenced by the rapidity, precision and certainty with which the deadly missiles could he showered down upon them. With this itrial war ship hanging a nr?i!e above the fort, supplied with a thousand percussioned bombshells, the Castle of Vera Cruz oould be taken without the loss of a single life to the a:my, and at an expense that would be comparatively nothing to what it will be to take it by the common mode of attack. Through the medium of your journal I would most respectfully suggest this plan to our government, and will tender my services for its construction, and when constructed, will, it necessary, most cheerfully under take its diiectnrship into actual service, at a moment’s warning. Very respectfully your friend and fellow citizen, J. WISE. Lancaster, October 23, 1846, SANTA ANNA'S PASS. Correspondence of the Baltimore l'atriut. W ASIIISOTUN. Oct. 27, 1846. The New Orleans Tropic and the U. S. Uazelte arc discussing the grave and ioipoitunt question in volved in tlie free pass of Santa Anna and Almonte, the present Ueneialissimo of the Mexican army and the President of the Mexican Reputrl c, through the : American blockade into the port of Vera Cruz. And well may those, and all olber patriotic j mruals, dis cuss a mailer of such great import, and expose, it passible, ihe true facts in the case. The matter can not be too seriously reflected upon by the whole A , inetican people. Santa Anna was an exile, residing at Havana.— ) He had been banished from his country because he was a tyrant, aud had trampled the const.tulion of I his country under his feet. He had impoverished the Mexican nation, but so managed his operations as to make himself the master and owner of uutold riches, ilia conduct towards the Texans richly entitled him to a halter, and which would have graced his neck in 1836 bui for the unaccountable leniency o! Ueneral Samuel Houston. All Texas abhorred him, and all the United States ought to have done so. No man i who cherished the least respect for those brave Tex j arm who were slaughtered at the battle ot the Alamo und at Goliad, or lost their lives in the Mier expedi tion, could ever for a moment Irus or put confidence l in the treacherous Santa Anna. How, then, came he to have a free jrass throtfgh our squadron to Vera , Cruz ? Who counselled it? Was it Senator Houston? He has had the credit of planning and advising the I whole procedure. If it was hts work—if he prevailed upon Mr. Polk to enter into an intrigue with Santa Anna, whereby the latter could take commend of the Mexican army, and make Ins friend and our bitter en emy, Almonte, the President of that Republic, then let the world place lo hta account the credit or infamy of such advice. It it was not done through hts ad vice, then let his skirls be freed from the imputation. But tbe act was done. Santa Anna and Almonte and other distinguished Mexican oliioers were granted a free pass through our blockade into the port of Ve ra Cruz, and now they are at Ihe head of the Mexi can Republic and its army, are raising anew force of thirty thousand troops to march upon our army, and ! ace declaring vengeance against the U. States. HAo a-Jed them m getting into the high places they now occupy, ands otu which they issue such thundering prununcimenlos against our armv and our people? Who did the deed ? By whose order were I (hey allowed to pass in salety into Hie port of Vera Cruz ? That is the qu c stion, and it roust be an-1 swered. I have been seeding various accounts of ihe dread- I fill mmlality ot our troopa on the Rio (.rands. It is shocking to think of. I find in the Alabama Journal of the 2 Ist mat., a leltei fiom one of the volunteers of that Stale, dated, “Uamaigo, Sept, 29 h,” in wtiich the writer says : “Prom actual calculation, more than one thousand men have died upon the banks of the Kio del Norte, lo say nothing ol the immense num ber* lhai have been discharged and sent home in a lingering condition, many of whom will undoubtedly never recover. The Alabama regiment alone has lost one bundled men, which is one in ten, and all Ibis, too, iu about three weeks, f think these unfortunate men should b held in as patriotic aud kind remem brance by their countrymen at home as if they had fallen- in hauls, which would on many accounts have been far preferable.” *• • “Most of our regiment! are cut down now from three lo five hundred men, when all starttd wnh more than nine hundred.”— Speaking of the battle of Monterey, the writer of the letter auys : “Tennessee and M lasiastasippi are coveted wiib wounds and covered with glory. The Tennes see regiment is liter ally cut up, having lost over one hundred arid thirty men in the charge, and having only about three or four hundred men at Ihe com menceuient.” Correspondence of the A’- V. Tribune. Ail K\<*cii.iou on Itu:irl tilt* 11. S. bqtiilron oil Hit* t oast of Mexlr*. Orx Vuu Urn, Sept. 25, 1846. On tha i 7th insl. 1 was one of the ediGed witnesses of the supremacy of the law ovei natural rights. A sailor named Samuel Jackson, belonging to the sloop St, Maty’s, was hanged at the fore yard arm, pursuant to the sentence of a Court Martial, before whom lie bad been tried for sinking a man named Taylor—one of the officers of that ship. The prepaiations for the execution were numerous and solemn, a regular programme having been Issued •by Commodore Cornier and circulated through the squadron several dtya previously. All labor in the dis- j lerenl vessels was forbidden for the day, and the crews | were directed to us-uine their holiday attire. At 11 A. M. the signal, “Prepare to execute the sentence of the Court Martial,” was displayed at the miZ'*n of the Cumberland, when a yellow flag was hoisted at the fore yard arm of the Si. Mary’a. The officers and crews ot all the vessels at the anchorage were then mustered on deck, and Jitri baled m such places as would best enable them to take a- much of the specta cle m view as possible. llore they were kept on the tip-toe of anticipation for more than half an hour, when the same signal that I before mentioned was hoisted, without the •• preparative,” und the curiosity of the spectators was very materially enhanced thereby. In a lew momen's more the victim made Ins appearance on the *• topgallant forecastle” of the St. Mary’s, at tended by two or three officers and the Master at-Arms of the ship, and by Rev Fitch W. Tayloi, Chaplain of the Cumberland, Stepping over the forecastle rail ing on the scat Fold which had hern erected there lor the occasion, the prisoner seated himself on the railing, apparently on account of nervous deficiency. The ma chinery titled up for the principle act was simple, but -Iroug and effective: A ihick rope was rove through a block at the yard arm, leading along the yard into the foremast, where it rote through another hi >ck, and wjs uuJe fist to a weight of neat four hundred pounds. Alter some additional minutes of suspense had been inflicted upon the thousands ot spectators, a flash issu ed from the gun over which the scaffold had been rais ed, and at the same instant a human form was seen flying in a curved line through the an. wi h astonish ing velocity. When the body reached the yard arm so great had been the impulse, that t it* check there t perpendicularly into the air, feet upward, and rebound ing against the “fore-lifts,” it passed over the fore bimr split the halter block, and then, alter a few violent vi- ! brations, it assumed the usual bungling altitude of a hanging man. From the N. Y. Express of Saturday afternoon. Tin: SLAVE CASE. It being under load that the decision in this case would be given this forenoon, large numbers of per sons assembled in front of the cnml room long before it was opened ; among them of course, a goodly pro portion ot our colored population, ol both sexes, causing a rush for admittance when ihe doors weie opened. Among the audience were several ladies, also Mr. Hopper, and several other friends of the Ab olition caa-e. The court room was densely crowded, and many persons were unable to obtain admittance, Judge Edwards pronounced a long und important opinion in the case, in which he held to the pnnetplt, under the decisions, (h:t the Constitution of the U. Males, under the law of Congress, are paramount to the laws of the States, to prevent the existence of paupers and vagrmts within their borders. The law of (his Slate is not of that descrip'ion. and it opp s<a other points of ti.e statutes declaring that every per son in this State shall be declared a free man, Ac. The statute, under which this hoy was arrested, was not enacted with a view to prevent contamination or injury within our own holders, nor even to restore him to his owner, as the Constitution allows.- but is purely to give him up to the captain, to save the lat ter from the penally of another Mate, and does not even provide that the master of the vessel shall return the boy to the owner. The Court considered that the law is therefore un constitutional. As to the point that the Captain will be liable to penalty in Georgia, the Court does not think that j-uch will be (he case. He has done every thing in his power, and it cannot be supposed that any penal ty attaches. At any rate, mere individual matters cannot be allowed to interfere with a great constitu tional and public measure. The Court ordered that the boy should be discharg ed, at which there was a strong demonstration of ap plause from the audience. j The boy was not brought down from the prison.—• Mr. Jay stated that the mate had entered an action against him for assault and battery The latter case is to be beard before the Mayor in respect to bail. Discharge of the shire boy, Kirk. —Soon after the decision of Judge E imoods, the counsel of the hoy, the captain, in..te, &c., met in the Mayor’s office, when it was decided to withdraw the suits for assault and baitery, exchange leleases, and let the boy go free. ‘J ins was done, and an order sent by the May or to the Tombs, for the boy’s discharge. He was taken from the Tombs in a carriage, by his friends, and is, by this time probably, in another Mate. There had been no power of attorney, as stated in some quarters, sent on from the owner to the captain. (fj* A New Yoik letter in the Philadelphia Inqui rer says ihat the boy took passage for Canada in the Albany boat on Saturday evening. The Cholera —A London letter published in the N. Y Journal of Commerce says— I told you a few weeks back, on the authority of the celebrated Ur. Kyan, that the Asiatic Cholera was silently, slowly, but surely approaching Europe. The accounts which you teceived by the last ste.imer, showed this sinuous and fatal piogrets from Sciode, in British Imlia unto Persia, where it struck down piince ami peasant, the latter in vast numbers. It is now hovering over ihe frontiers of Russia and Tur key, making frightful ravages, arid stealthily moving onwards, defying check or control. The British go vernment are going to send a medical commission in to ‘Turkey and Russia, to examine the cases and re port upon the pestilence to the Privy Council, which is oo w the organized board of health for the whole country. Should the scourge arrive in Europe, it will prove an awful visitation, particularly when form ing a junction with she murrain now affecting cattle, and the disease extirpating the potato.

Second.—Because the Court Ihjlow committed error in deciding ‘‘That the Bank Bills should take each in proportion to the value received by the Bank for it at tli time of its emission by t he Bank.” It being the opin ion of this Court, that each Bank Bill should take In proportion to the quantum of consideration paid there for by the ho(der or claimant on the Fund, nnd that rudi holder or claimant should state the quantum of consid eration artuallv paid therefor, on oath, in writing, with the right of other contesting claimants for said fund to traverse the same.
