The reswlta-bf ! OlilhWWtint victory are all important ; and
will no doubt aeceieWe a peace so much to be desired by hot It
eovntriefl Anna, with his accustomed gasconade,
rUittieh'VidttWy. aTthowgh lie acknowledges that it was an in
leciwlvfe tWe, end <dNt>a'ined at a loss of 1,000 Mexicans. The
Americans 4e say*, lost 2,000. There is r.o mistake, however,
* *f his replete discomfiture, and the dissolution of his entire
forces. When las; hoard from, they were in full retreat, and in
fearful Mate of destitution. The pm ic wu* so extended, and
the drerad of old “ Hough ami Ready” so prevailing, that there
, < so apprehension felt, or rather, hope entertained, of the lying
■.ml boasting Mexican making another stand. Gen. Taylor
has sent a corps to harrass him on hia retreat, and cut otT his
supplies. It was also Gen. Taylor** design to fall back on
Monterey, and reopen communications with the Rio Grande.
When last heard from, the General was at Agna Nueva. Urrea
was this side of him, with about 1,500 cnvulry At Cerrulvo
he made a stand with his entire force, against a detachment of
United Stoles troops amounting to 250 under Major Geddings.
The Mexicans were defeated with a loss of about 30 men; our
loss was about half that number. The brave Urrea then re
treated, and no doubt ia still on his winding way.
The following are the only ones ol the official despatches
we have room for. The first is the summons to surrender,
considerately sent by Santa Anna to Taylor, previous to the
fight, with Taylor's reply. The last letter, which is the fullest
and longest, gives an official statement of Gen. Taylor's posi
lion.

[Summons of Santa Anna to Gen. Taylor.]
You are surrounded by twenty-thousand men, and cannot,
in any human probability,avoid suffering m rout, and being cut
to nieces with your troops; but n you deserve consideration
hhg particular esteem, 1 wish m save you from a catastrophe,
and for that purpose give you this notice, in order that you
may surrender at discretion, under the assurance that vu “ill
be treated with the consideration belonging to the Mexican
eharacter, to which end you will he granted an hour's time to
make up your mind, lo commence fioin the moment w hen tny
flag of truce arrives in your camp.
With this view, I assure you of tny particular consideration.

A NT. LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA.
To Gen. Z. Taylor, Commanding the forces ol the U. 8.
Headquarters Artur or Occupation,
Near Buena Vista, E* b. 22, 1847.
Sir—Tn reply to your note of this dal**, summoning in* to
surrender my lone* at discretion, 1 beg leave to *uy that I de
cline acceding to your request.
With high respect, I am, sir, your obedient servant,
Z TAYLOR,
Major General, United States Army. Commanding,
Senor Gen. I)- Antonix) Lopez de 84MA Anna,
Comtuaudcr-in-Chief La Eucentada.
Headquarters Army er OrrufATloy,
Agua Nueva, March 1,1847.
Sir—l have the honor to report that the troops of my com
mund occupied their original camp at this place on the 27th of
February, the last of the Mexican army leaving the morning
of that day in the direction of San Lui*. It is ascertained that
the enemy is in full retreat, and in h very disorganized condi
tion ; the men deserting and dying of starvation iu great num
bers. I despatch a command this day as fur as En< arnucion
to harrae* his rear, auJ secure whatever military supplies may
be found there.
From the statements of Mexican officers, parlieulnrly of the
medical staff lelt 10 succor the wounded, there seems no doubt
that their loss in the recent action ia moderutelv estimated at
1,5u0, and may rich 2.UUO men, killed and wounded; besides
2,000 or 3,000 deserters. Many officers of rank were lost I
art lose a list of the names of our ow n killed mid wounded,
mnde as complete us practicable at this time. One regiment
(Kentucky cavalry) is not included, its return not being ren
dered. ’ ’ 1
‘The enemy had fully reckoned upon our total rotit.and had
made arrangements to intercept our retreat, and cut rift lie ar
my, stationing for that purpose, corps of cavalry,Dot only im
mediately in our rear, but even below Aloniory. I regret to
report that they succeeded near the village of Marin in destroy
ing a train of supplies, and killing a con-iderahle number of
ilie escort and teainsiers. Col. Morgan, 2d Ohio regiment, on
his march from Cerrulvo to Monterey, was infested Lv (he
Mexican cavalry, with which he had several n-nconfres, but
finally dispersed the n with small loss on bis own part Cnpt.
Graham, A. Q. M volunteer service, was mortally wernnded in
one of these affairs. 1 have no doubt thnl the defeat of the
main army at Buena Vista will secure our line of communica
tion from further interruption, but i still propoae ill a few days
toclmnge my Headquarters to .Monterey, with a view to make
such further arrangement-, us may he net essHry in that quarter.
The dispositions made to harrass our rear, vindicate the |>ol
icy and necessity of defending a position in front of Saltillo,
where a defe at has thrown (he enemy fur back into the interi
or. No result so derisive could Imre been obtained by holding
Monterey, and our communications would have been constant
Iv in jeopardy.

Correspoii€li‘iicic* between den. Taylor
and the Wiiv Department.
The reports that sometime since obtain’ and currency, that
Gen. Taylor had been shabbily treated by the War Depart
ment, are confirmed by the old hero's letters, recently pub
lished by order of Congresa. Not only has he been embar
rassed 10 all hr* movements, Ivy the criminal neglect end tar
diness of the various officials at Washington; but that emnn
nent functionary Mr. Secretary Msrey. rr an otter disregard
of all military etiquette or geniletoenly courtesy, by unwar
rsnia'ile interference, and correspondence wiih Gen. Taylor's
subalterns, has encouraged insubordination ami irresponsibil
ity on the part of bn officers. The brave old man. w-ho is
achieving imperishable renown tor the country ami himself,
feels moat keenly the interference of this medlesoine official,
and makes a moat emphatic protest against it.
From the correspondence which is altogether ehtraefevia

the interference of others with his views and operations :

EDITORIAL CHANGE.
We announce with a regret which is shared even by his
political opponents in this community, that I. (i. Seymour,
Esq., long the courteous and efficient Editor of the Georgia
Messenger, baa withdrawn from that paper, which h:is been
united with the Georgia Journal and passed into oilier hands. ,
We take great pleasuie in seizing this occasion lo accord to
G ipl. Seymour, a just meed of praise fir his courtesy and
liberality throughout h* editorial career. W hile wuh an
adroit and skilful hand, and a Zeal for the triumph ol his pxr
<y and p inciple-, not surpassed hy any of his brethren, we
huva never seen him on anv occasion violate the decoruin of
the press, or wound the leehnga of those of his fellow citi
zens who happened to be opposed to hitn. With such a man
we part wuh the sincerest ngret.
In his retirement, the press of Georgia has lost an tMe and j
pohatud wii er the j üblic improvements of the Slate as
well as the local ones of this city, one ol their eudiest and
ablest . (lenders. The respect and good w ishes of many of
his opponents, as wdl *a of his political friends, in the com- i
mutiny in which be has so long resided, will attend him 10
his retirement, and all will rejoice in his success in whatever
situation his lot in iy hereafter be cast.
The Georgia Journal and Messenger will hereafter be <dit
ed hy 8. T. Cmatman end 8. Kobe. Enps., whom, barring
their politics, we wish every success. While we psil with
our old coufiere, unwillingly, the columns of the Bavannuh
Republican, since his connexion with it, hare, we are fiee to
confess, greatly prepossessed us iu favor of Capl Seymour’s
successor. Mr. Chspmsn is a ready snd vigorous writer, und
we doubt dolt will make the Journal Slid Messenger worthy
the support ol Ins political friends. We bid hitn welcomo—
and trust be will be both pleased and profiled in his new sit- !

Mr. Johnson acknowledged the compliment piid him end
the body of which he was a member, and the Btate which he
represented, in an eloquent speech. He alluded to tiie pri

“The Commerce of the United States—lts rfgtflattoh, for

VICTOICV! VICTOUVtS
It is suggested, ntid is now so understood, tluil some hearty
expression of rejoicing be manifested by our citizens to-night,
for the brilliant victories just achieved in Mexico. Macor
must not be behind our sister cities, in exhibitions of joy and
gratitude for these glorious successes of tbe American Army.
There is every reason, aside from considerations of patriotism,
that the citizens of Macon should rejoice over these triumphs,
for we have fiohs. brothers, and friends, who have been engag
ed ill the Contest, and who will now, id all probability, us a
peace didst speedilv follow, be soon restored to us.
Let its ull then, shdw our feelings of joy and gratitude on
this glUrloua dcCri*ldd; American vfilor tins triumphed. The
enemy has been defeated in every bailie.—ihe strong hold of
Mexifco, the suppdNea Hnprcgnulde fortress of San Juan de
Ulioa has he -n taken) tile effusion of blood will be slaved, a
peace will he conquered, and ouf brothers, sons, friends, and
fellow-citizen*; will soon return to us flushed with victory.
Never was there a fitter time for rejoicing—let every Inhn, wo
man and child, unite in the jubilation, and wiih lineing of
hells, firing of cannon, illumiusiioiis, nidi noisy and joyous
throats eive testimony sis their feelings Ibr the Splehdid victo
ries that have been achieved by American valor.

This Lodge was stintiirond and convened nport tire fad an
nouncement of ilia death of One of its regular members, w hen
the following action was taken:
Our friend and brother, John Hatton, is no more! Full of
years, we trust he huS gone “lo the bosom of his God.” Bio.
Hatton died away from the home of his youth, in tliut of his
early adoption ami residence. He was a native ol Maine—for
a time a sojourner ru Boufh Carolina, but for an amber of years
a worthy citizen rtf Georgia. ‘This morning, tlrouglf surround
ed by friends an I the rrartirer of his bosom, he has been called
by the Great Grand Master above from his lubors in the Lodge
below.
We. as Master Masons, knew him to be “ a true and worthy
brother among us, ‘ possessing many noble and value.l traits ot
character, th.it hid from view the faults which ‘ flesh is heir to.”
Rrgo/ved , That we doeplv deplore and lament his d<*.ath,and
that we will bury him with the customary rites of Masonic
Bepultre: that we sympathize and condole with his wife and
friends in therr loss and bereavement: tliut Masons relieve the
distressed when til their power, nfTJ will support, protect and
defend the Widows ami Orphans of their necessitous deceased
Brethren.
Retolvcd, Asa feeble testimony and tribute to Iris memory,
we will wear the usual badge ot mourning for thiity days;
and thnl a copy of these proceedings be furnished the widow
j of our deceased Brotner, and a copy transmitted to the press
for publicntin. JOHN I*. CARY, W. M-pro tem.
