Subsequent accoums add th a thousands of

been fired till ; one man at the least being killed,
and several persons in an immense processmu
wounded. Many dispersed at the first dis
charge ul uioeketrv. calling Aux Armtes ! and
declaring they would take to the barricades.
Al* the shops were closed and business entirely

T«ie procession of insurgents was estimated
at some 25 000 persons, including 12 000 Na

accompanied by several meiwbersof the Moun

About noon the Military were turned out of

The French Assault upon Rome.
Civita Vkcchix. June 6
On the morning us Sunday laM. tne 3d. Gen
O-idinot moved a column of attack again* the
Villa Pamphtb. a strong point out*id- the
waits, a: a -hurt distance from the Porta S. Pan
crarzia He commenced by surprising about
2t*o us .Mokra's free corps, and took them on
soners; but Garibaldi *• people m the Villa it
selt being on the alert, and the alarm being
instantly communicated to the walls overlook
ing the battle ground, a desperate engagement
look place, the Vida being taken and retaken
several tunes tn the course of the day. The
French troop* behaved with that gallantry
which distinguishes the nation ; but. the Ro
mans met them at every point, and. a* the lat
ter were enabled to bring the artillery from the
walls to bear upon them, their lues is repre
sented to have been very severe indeed. The
• dia Pampbtli remained at nightfall in the
hands of me French, and ths works of ap
proach toward* .he Porta S PatfCraxxia were
cvmm raced—but the loss in effecting this ob
ject very great, and I think 1 do not over
**’• ,l lo ‘ng that there were from 80 to 100
M 3 10 400 wounded. The Romans
* ,b< proportion, and. independ
•of the prisoners lauan bv surprise I
w luo killed *nd 400
wounded
lo the taeaaitKt the Froncb muoned on the
I <cixU>-oi tne Home Mario, finding that their
L*Ulis did no execution, conceived the bold pro
ject ol crossing the Tiber and of entering into
the city at that part of it called the Ripetl t.
For that purpose a chosen body rushed across
the fields and, preparing a raft and a boat,
crossed the river, and attempted to carry the
barricades by which the Ripetta was defended;
but the Romans were prepared at all points,
and as one of my letters says, after lhe attack
was repulsed, many of the Frenchmen jumped
into the Tiber, and were either shot or drown
ed in the atiem ur to repays the stream.
Tn© firing did not cease on cither side till
nightfall, and even occasionally during '.he
uikht it was resumed from the walls near Porta
8. Pancrazzia, for the purpose of incomtuod
mg the working parties in the trenches, who
could be seen by lhe moonlight. It was not
renewed till midday on the 4th, and then it con
tinned al intervals only till 6 o’clock in the eve
ning, when it ceased.
Denmark and the DutcUles.
While Denmark is enforcing a rigorous
blockade of lhe German ports, the troops of
the Confederation are gaining little or no
ground in the disputed territory. The proba
bilities of a speedy settlement ol the quarrel
appear to be as remote as ever.
Hungary.
A circular despatch, dated .May 9, has been
i-stied from the Court of St. Petorsburgh to its
foreign representatives, declaring the intention
<>f the Emperor to reduce Hungary to entire
subjection to Austria.
Ou lhe 3d of June 17000 Russians entered
Pre-burg from Tyrnan. They came at lhe
right time, for the Austrians have again had a
defeat al Boas. At Odenburg also there has
been a sever© engagement. Af;er hard fight
ing and con-iderable losses on both sides, it ter
initiated w ith the retreat of die Austrians. The
forces of the Hungarians, at the upper Danube,
and the Waag is very rnueb greater than it
was. as the 30,000 to 40.000 men who have
been rendered disposable by the conquest of
Ofen, nave reinforced die line.
The Hungarians and the Austrians (th© latter
reinforced by 22.000 Russians.) are in lhe
presence of each other between Presburg and
a battle is expected shortly to take placebo
tween them; the rumor that one had occurred
tsnot true; neither that the Hungarians had
captured Presburg. The report of a sangui
uary affair at Udenbnrgh, in w hich George}
defeated lhe Imperialists is, however, con
firmed.

EDWARD YOUNG HILL.
THE FOURTH OF JULY.
The return of the National Anniversary— i
that day on which a nation of people declared
through i heir representatives, their determina
tion to absolve themselves from all allegiance
to other governments, and proclaim themselve
a tree and independent people—cannot fail
to excite emotions within the brea-» of every
man who would ba free. To the contempla
tive, who would recur to the past, what a host
•if pleasing reminiscences rush upon the mind
hi the Western Hemisphere, a devoted people,
driven by the tyranny and oppressions of their
native land, take refuge—time moves on apace
—they grow and flourish under the fostering
care of lhe mother country, till assuming the
-hape and form of manhood, they feel tbe ne
cessi y of disenthralling themselves, and pro
claiming to the world the principles of Liberty.
The vital spark was soon kindled into aflame
and burst forth in the Immortal Declaration ol
Independence on the Fourth day of July, 1776
Then succeeded a struggle, which, for the de
votion of those engaged to the cause of hu
man rights, has no parallel in the annals of his
lory. They cheerfully braved every danger
and patiently submitted to every privation
trusting to the justice of their cause, their strong
arms, stout hearts, and the unerringaim of their
weapons- Nor were (hey disappointed. Vic
tory perched upon their standard, and the
world responded to their proclamation, that
'•these States shall be free and independent.”
The implements of war were then laid aside, to
be succeeded by the implements of husbandry,
and the busy hum of commerce—while Peace,
showering upon them her choicest blessings,
has made the desert smile and converted tiie
wilderness iato the field of the husbandman
enriching by its virgin soil the hand tint tills
and rewarding his labors with its choicest fruits
The spirit of the peoplo has been progressive,
and from a mere handful of men, women and
children, scattered over thirteen almost wil
derness States, we are in less than a century,
rapidly attaining th© first rank among nations
in all that can b« regarded true greatness.
Such is a rapid glance at the past—brief but
true in all the great outlines of the picture.
Have we not then cause to rejoice, to hail
with delight this National Saturnalia, because
of the associations with which it crowds die
mind, whether you recur to the past or specu
late upon the future prospects of this great and
flourishing nation I Let the people then re
joice and become exceeding glad—let them
send up their must ferventa-piraUons to a wise
Creator for the continued success and prospe
rity of the American people, and above ali for
the high privilege of observing the National Ju
bilee as becomes a free people.
Our Campaign Paper.
Thk near approach of lhe canvass for Gov
ernor admonishes us of the necessity bur
nishing up our armour and putting lhe ship in
readitiese for licimn. This done, we shall look
lo our Whig friends throughout lhe State for
whatever may be necessary in the distribution
of our artillery. That no important resultcan
be attained without a corresponding effort, is a
fact which no intelligent mind will gainsay. It
behooves the Whigs, therefore, to set about the
work before them with an earnest, determined
resolution to sustain, by all honorable means,
the great conservative principles which they
advocate, and to place in power, those who
will advance tho*e principles. One of the
first duties of this important work, is to enlight
en lhe public mind by the aid of the press.
This done, the work is easy and success cer
tain.
The mere subscribing fora campaign paper
because it is cheap, by a man who is able to
take, and ought in justice to himself and fami
ly to take a paper, is a mere bagatelle. Every
man who advocate* Whig principles should
loose his purse strings freely and contribute to
send papers to those who are not otherwise
able and cannot afford to take the paper. Let
lhe Whigs in every county make up a fund
for th© gratuitous distribution of papers among
the people, and the public mind will soon be
come enlightened, In such a state of things
lhe Whigs have nothing to fear for the success
of their principles.
The reader is referred lo the terms of the
Wkkkly Chronicle. &. Sentinel, for the
Campaign, in another column. Let all recur
to it and act as lheir sense of propriety may
dictate. Our object in proposing these term*
is the success of Whig principles—for such a
cause we are willing to do our duty, our whole
duty, and we trust that every Whig may be as
ready to do his.
Tlie Whig I'auilhlate for Goveriior*
Judge Hill’s Acckptaxck.—The reader
will find in another column. Judge Hill’s ac
ceptance of the Whig Nomination for the of
fice of Governor of Georgia, lo which we in
vite attention.
In presenting his name, therefore, to the
people of Georgia for the first office in the
State, we should do injustice to our own feel’
ing* not to express our high satisfaction at the
result of the labors of the Convention. Judge
11. has been long and favorably known to the
people of Georgia, during which he has filled
distinguished offices with credit to himself and
honor to the Slate, and we trust lhe people will
manifest their confidence in his integrity and
ability by elevating him to the Executive Chair.
Mr. Benton * S|»eerli.
Thk extracts we recently published from the
late speech of the .Missouri Senator, have excited
much curiosity among our readers to see the
whole speech, and we have had several very
urgent requests to publish it entire, some of
which come from unwavering Democrats.—
Much as we are always di-iposed to gratify our
readers, such is the length of the speech that
we must decline its publication. Whatever
may be said of hit views and course. n«> one
will pretend to deny to him great boldness and
frankness in the avowal of his principles ; nor
will any candid man. after reading his expose
of Mr Calboux's course in the .Monrok Cab
met. attempt to vindicate the consistency of the
South Carolina Senator on the subject of the
power of Congress over s avery in the territo
ries. Then he was in office and power, and

DECLARATION OF INDEPEND
ENCB.
IN CONGRESS July 4, 1776.
The Unanimous Declaration of the Thir
teen United States of America.
When, in the course of human events, it be
comes necessary for one people to dissolve the
political bands which have connected them with
another, and to assume among lhe powers of
the earth the separate and equal stati in to which
the laws of nature and of nature’s God entides
them, a decent respec: to the opinion of inan
i kind requires that they should declare the causes
I which impel them to the separation.
\V e hold these truths to bo self evident:—that
all men are created equal; that they are endow
ed by their Creator with certain inalienable
rights; that among these are life liberty and
the pursuit of happiness That to secure
these righ's governments are instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from the con
sent of the governed ; liiut whenever any form
of government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the right of lhe people to alter or to
abolish it, and institute a new government,
laying its lounda'.ion on such principles, and
organizing its powers in such form as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their safety aud
Happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that govern
ments long established should not be changed
for light and transient causes; and accord
ingly all experience hath shown, that mankind
are more disposed to suffer, while evils are
sufferable, than to right themselves, by abolish
ing the forms to which they are accustomed
But when a long train of abuses and usurpa
lions, pursuing invariably the same object,
evince a design to reduce them under absolute
despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to
throw off such government and provide new
guards for their future security. Such has
been lhe patient sufferance of these colonies,
and such is now the necessity which Constrains
them to alter their former sys cm of govern
ment. The history of the present King of
Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries
and usurpations, all having in direct object the
establishment of an absolute tyranny over H ese
States. 'To prove this, let facts be submitted
to a candid world :
He has refused his assent to laws the most
wholesome and necessary for public good
He has forbidden his government to pass
laws of immediate and pressing importance,
unless suspended in their operation, till his as
sent should be obtained ; and when so suspend
cd. he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for the ac
commodation of large districts of people un
less those people would relinquish the right of
representation in’the legislature—a right inesti
hiable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together iegiUative bodies at
places unusual, uncomfortable and distant from
ihe repository of lheir public records, for lhe
sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance
with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses re
peatedly for opposing with manly firmness, bis
invasion on the right* of the people.
He has refused for a long lime after such
dissolutions, to cause others to be elected;
whereby tlie legistitive powers, incapable of
annihilation, have returned to the people ai
large fur their exercise, the state remaining in
the mean time exposed to ali the dangers of
invasion from without, and convulsions from
within.
lie has endeavored to prevent the popula
lion of these States; for that purpose obstruc
ling the laws of naturalization of foreigners;
refusing to pass others to encourage their mi
"ration hither, and raiding ihe conditions of'
new appropriations of lands.
He lias obstructed lhe administration of jus.
lice by refusing ins assent to laws for establish
ing judiciary powers.
He has made judges dependent on his will
alone, for the tenure of thuir offices, and the
amount and payment oflheir salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new otficea.
and Sent hither swarms of officers, to hurras*
our people, and eat out lheir substance
He has kept among us in lime of paace.
'landing armies, without the consent of our le
gislatures
He has affected to render the military inde
pendent of, and superior to the civil power
He has combined w ith others to subject us to
a juri-diction foreign to our Constitution, and
unacknowledged by our laws; giving Ihs as
sent to lheir acts of pretended legislation
Fur quartering large bodies of armed itoope
among us:
Fur protecting them by a mock trial, from
punishment, for any murders which they should
commit on lhe inhabitants of these Stales :
Fur cutting off'our trade with all parts of the
world:
For imposing taxes on us without our con
sent:
Fur depriving us, in many cases, of the ben
efits oflrt il by Jury :
For transporting us beyond the seas to be
tried for pretended offences :
For aboli-hmg the free system of English
laws in a neighboring province, establishing
therein an arbitrary government, and enlarg
ing its boundaries, so as to render it at once an ,
example and fit instrument for introducing
ihe same absolute rule into these colonies: |
Fur taking away our charters, abolishing our ,
most valuable laws and altering, fundamental- |
iy lhe powers of our government.
For suspending our own legislatures, and (
declaring themselves invested with power to ,
legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.
He has abdicted govern nenl here, by de (
elating us out us his protection, and waging
war against us.
He has plundeied our seas, ravaged our
coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives
ol our people.
He is al this time transporting large armies
of foreign mercenaries, to complete the work
ol death, desolation, and tyranny, already be
gan with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy,
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages,
and totally unworthy lhe head of a civilized
nation.
He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken
captive on ihe high seas, to bear arms against
their country, to become lhe executioners of
lheir friends and brethren, or to fall themselves
by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrections a
mongstus; and has endeavored io bring on
he inhabitants of our frontier (he merciless
Indian savages whose known rule of warfare
is an undis inguished destruction of all ages,
sexes and conditions.
In every stage of these oppressions we have
petitioned for redress in the most humble terms:
our repeated petitions have been answered by
repeated injury. A prince whose character is
thus marked by every act which may define a
tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been warning in our attentions
to our British brethren We nave warned them,
from time to time, of attempts made by their
legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdic
tioo over us We have reminded them of the
circumstances of our emigration and settlement
here. We have appealed to their native jus
tice and magnanimity, and we have conjured
them by the ties of our common kindred, to
disavow these usurpations, which wonid inevi
tably interrupt our connexions and correspon
dence. 'They 100 have been deaf to the voice
ofjustice ami consanguinity. We must, there
fore.acquiesce in the necessity which denounces
oursepara ion. and hold them as we hold the
rest ol mankind—enemies in war. in peace
friends.
We therefore, the representativo* of the Uni
ted States of America, in General Congress as
sembled, appealing lo inc Supreme Judge
of me world, for the rectitude ofoiirintentions,
do. in the nanio and by the amhorily of the
good people of these colonies, solemnly publish
and dt-clare. that the United colonies are and ul
right utighl to be free and independent stales :
ih.t! they sre absolved from all allegiance to the
British Crown, and trial all political connexion
between them and the Stale ot Great Britain

BREVET MAJOR-GENERAL WILLIAM J. WORTH,
Late of the United States Army.
MEMOIROF MAJ. GEN. WORTH.
—o —
William J. Worth was horn in the Stale
of New York, and when a boy, was engaged
in a store in Albany. When quite y oung, the
disputes between France and England seemed
likely to draw our country into a war with one
•>f the great powers; and when these fears
were realized. Worth was one of the first to
apply for a commission in the army. His re
ques*. was granted, and he received the appoint
inent of Ist Lieutenant in the 23d Infantry, on
the 19th March. 1813
In the battle of Chippewa Plains, Worth act
ed as aid to Gen. Scott, and when the nature
of that officer’s duties are remembered, it will
be acknowledged that this was a dutigeroiis and
responsible station Yet he won the admiration
of his superior by his excellent conduct, and
was noticed by Gen. Brown in complimentary
terms. He was further rewarded by a com
mission as Captain, dated August 19, 1814
In the sanguinary battie of Niagara. Worth
had a lurther opportunity of proving his mili
tary talents Captain Worth was rewarded for
his bravery in this action, by the thanks of his
superior officers, and the rank of a Major. Al
though he performed good service during the
remainder oflhe war, yet he had no opportu
nity of distinguishing himself. its close, he
was honored by an appointment to superintend
the West Point Academy, in which responsible
station he won lhe esteem and confidence of ail
concerned. He was brevetted Lieutenant Co
lonel on the 25th of July, 1824 ; appointed ma
jor of ordnance in 1832 and colonel of the Blh
infantry regiment, July 7, 1838
In Florida. Colonel Worth was enabled to act
a rather mor© conspicuous part than most of
ihe officers in that unfortunate war The pre
ci-ion that characterizes ali his movements was
of the utmo-t service during the campaigns of
1841 and ’42. when he compelled several par
tie? oflhe Indians to surrender. He was lire
vetted Brigadier General on the Ist of March,
1842 On lhe 19th of April he fought the bai
lie of Piiiaklaklaha, iu which a large body ot
Seimnol's were entirely defeated, and several
of lheir chieftains subsequently obliged to .*ur
render.
When Gen. Taylor marched from Corpus
Chri ti to make war upon .Mexico, Worth was
ihe second in command, and led the main army
lo the Rio Grande, while the commander moved
towards Point l-abei. Worth planted the flag
of his country ou lhe Rio Grande, with his own
hand. Soon after Col Twiggs arrived, and
claimed the command of Worm’s division, on
account of priority of coinmrsion llis claim
tieing substantiated by the proper documents.
Taylor was obliged o coni rm it, and Worth,
considering himself aggrieved, left the army,
reached Washiogton, and tendered his resig
nation. In doing so, however, he displayed all
the delicacy and reluctance which such a step
was calculated to inspire, and declared hihope
that should actual hostilities take place ho might
be permilled lo resume his command and ex
pressed his entire approbation of the conduct
of lhe commanding general While at Wa?h
ingtnn ihe aspect at the seat of war changed
News arrived of the danger of Taylor at Fort
Brown, and soon after of the march to Pmnt
Gabel, and the bailies of the Bth and 9-h .May.
Worth immediately applied for hiscommi*.*ion;
it was granted and he hurried on lo Te as
He was received by General 'Taylor with open
arms and conducted ihe negotiations attending
the capituLlion of Matamoros.
But another and nobler field was now of
fered to mm at Monterey. General Taylor,
with the generosity of a true soldier. itilru*ted
him with the attack upon tlie Bishop’s palace;
an almost impregnable fortress, commanding
a sleep and rocky height, and the key of ihe
road to the interior This wa* considerad by
the whole army as an almost desperate under
taking, and none who saw the division ot the
general march from the camp toward ihe palace,
expected to see half of them re urn. 'The pe
culiar situation of Worth favored this belief, as
it was supposed that, in order to atone for his
last opportuniliesand stop the voice ofcahimuy,
he would ru*h headlong into danger, and re
cover his reputation at every hazard. Worth
acted differently. He felt his dmy io the sol
diers, and allowed no personal feeling to hin
der its execution. Where the Americans ex
pected lhe heaviest loss, and perhaps total fail
ure, they were scarcely injured. During lhe
whole time, the troops lab red in range of the
enemy’s guns, crossing ravines. climbing rocks
and ledges, wading ihrough’water, and carrying
their cannon up precipitous cliffs Worth was
all lhe time on horseback, riding from post to
post, and using every effort to cheer his men
in their laborious duties. His conduct is men
tioned by the commander in termsofthe warm
eat approbation.
Worth was one of the commissioners at the
negotiations for the capitulation, and perform
ed efficient service during lhe evacuation of
ihe city. He was subsequently detached to
Saltillo where he remained until January, at
which lune he marched for the Gulf coast to
join Gen. Scott.
For hisgallantry and skill al .Monterey. Gen
Worth was brevetted to the rank of Major
General.
At Vera Cruz Genera! Worth was the first !
officer that formed his troops in line after land- j
ing His services in the siege were valuable ; I
and he was the head of the American depot*
tion to arrange the termsofcapituiation. When |
lhe Mexicans had left the city. Worth was ap
pointe I governor, and occupied it with his
brigade His prompt and exact measures soon
resuscitated the trade and commerce of lhe city,
and repressed the disorders which had long dis
graced it.
On the same day that the battle of Sierra
Gordo was fought, Worth look unresisted ,
possession oflhe town and fortress of Perote
in which were found immense stores of ammu
nition, cannon, mortars, and »>mall arms This ;
is one of die strongest castles in Mexico 1
Here he remained for some time princi
ually engaged in perfecting the discipline <>f

cutting off supplies from the Mexican camp
Early in May. he advanced towards Puebla,
and on the 14th he wag rnetby San’a Anna, with ,
a detachment of about three thousand mtn. ,
most of them cavalry. A *kirmi*h ensued.sev

GENERAL WORTH AT MOWTBBXY.
few who saw Gen. Worth march toward
the Bishop's Palace, on the morning of the
20th. ever expected to see him return He had
missed Paio Alto and Resaca de la Palma ; and
his feelings were known To be sad and chafed
at the late unfortUDatediffrrences between him
self and government- 1’ was well understood
that Gen? Tavlor had given him the responsi
bility of a separate command, mainly out of
delicacy to his misfortunes: and all supposed
that he'would establish h s reputation as a gen
era! by pushing forward. through uproar, con
fusion, and death to the cannon's mouth. As
the brave fellows filed by their comrades, many
a pityiug glance was cast upon them. and many
a braveheart ached as it sighed forth an invol
□-jurv farewell The general was silent. He
appreciated the magnanimity ot h:a brother
veteran, and burned to prove that it was not
misplaced; but no doubt, thoughts were tnen
crowding on his mind whicn were never per
mitted to pass the »ip®'• and he knew and fell
that some’hi ng dearer than life was resting upon
the possibility of captoring •. seemingly im
pregnable fortress.
The di* .mon marched to a hill, paaseo
the night almost within range of the palace
guns Long before daylight, the rolling of
drums and the loud shouting of the sentinels
routed the soldier* to arms, and they soon re
commenced their toilsome march After wind
ing in silence up a steep asemt, they arrived
at a ridge, dimly seen through the twilight pro
jecting over lheir heads. They turned it. and
directly tn front were the muzzles of the ene
my, frowning with seeming impatience upon
them. But it was too late to pause. On they
went, sweeping up the rocky path, their anil
lery echoing from hill to hill, as the horses
galloped over the hard ledge. Suddenly the
enemy burst forth, and ere lhe thundering dis
charge had rolled away in the distance, storms
of iron hail came battering over the rocks, and
scattering broken bushes and flinty stones in
all directions Still the troops bore on. wind
ing along a deep gorge, till they reached anoth
er ridge, about three quarters of a mile from
the first, and under the summit of a high hill.
Upon reaching this, they beheld in advance,
a body ofcavalry, splendidly mounted and ca
parisoned, with their lances sparkling in the
early sunbeams, and preparing for a charge
Immediately. Captain Gillespie galloped along
the fl ink of his Texan rangers, ordering them
to dismount, and place themselves in ambush
They obeyed, and the next moment the enemy
swept within a few yards of them, All at once
lhe rangers poured forth lheir fire, and man arid
horse plunged headlong over the rocks. 31c
Cullough’s troops now dashed into their bro
ken ranks, and closely following came the Bth
infantry, led by the galiant Longstreet. The
enemy fought furiously, and hand to hand lhe
fierce cavalry charged each other, rolling back
ward and forward upon the rocky height.
Meanwhile Colonel Duncan had been pre
paring his battery, and soon its heavy dischar
ges. and ihe rushing of the terrified horses,
announced that lhe conflict wa* about to termi
nate. The enemy fled up the hili, in wiid
confusion, followed hy the infantry of the Ame
ricans, who, as they moved, fired volleys ot
musketry nt their foe The Mexicans lost
thirty men killed; among them a captain who
fell under three wounds, while fighting with th©
most determined bravery.
/About noun Captain C F Smith, with two
companies of the ariillerv battaiion and foiirol
Texan rangers, was ordered to storm ihe se
cond height. The undertaking was a fearful
one. Five hundred yards intervened between
them and the foot of the hili, lheir way lying
over perpendicular rocks, heaps of loosened
stones, and thorn bushes, while on every peak
and thicket above were glittering rows of
Mexican infantry, prepared to pour upon them
showers of musket bails. The party, however
did not for one uiument dream ofdanger. Un
der their gallant leader, they Were prepared
for any sen ice and any danger ; and as er the
command to march was given, they were soon
out of sight, behind a ridge of rocks Their
companions watched, " ith healing hearts, for
lheir reappearance; till al length, fearful for
lheir safely. Captain Miles with the 7th infan
try was detached to their support. Instead ol
taking the same route as the first party, they
moved rapidly towards the hill in the very breast
of ihe redoubt, until they arrived at th© shorts
of the San Juan, which winds along a ledge
They paused a moment, and the next were wa
ding aeroi-sthe swift current, which was plung
ing and foaming with tiie showers of balls that
incessantly p onghed its surface. They landed,
marched to lhe t.iii, and detached Lieutenant
Gantt, to arrest the attention of the en .my, and
if possible discover Captain Smith’s party
File* pushed up the hili, while shellsand round
shot flew in all directions tearing up the
shrubs and stones, and fi ling the air with
showers of dust and gravel ; and overhead
the sharp crack of musketry, echoing from cliff
to cliff, announced that the inlantry were not
idle. Sudderly the quivering bayonets oflhe
first party glittering in the sunbeams, broke
upon theirsight. They arrived, rushed up the
hili, and the next moment were sweeping lhe
Mexicans from the summit.
'l’he enthusiasm ol the troops now became
irresistabie. Company after company marched
up the rocky ascent, cheering and shouting un
til their voices arose alrove the roar of cannon
and confusion of battle. The .Mexicans, un
able to resist the fierce shock, deserted their
worksand fled to the number of a thousand
down the steep ascent towards lheir second
■ fort. As they passed the rear gate, the Ame
ricans entered in front; and in a moment the
national flag was p'aying in graceful folds over
the breast works, while the guns found in the
fort commenced thundering away at the Bish
op’s Palace.
Tnus was tins important post taken almost
without lore on the part of the Americans: but
it was only the commencement of tiie drama—
tho pa ace was still before, with its massive,
frowning wails that seemed to bid haughty de
ti Mice to lhe utmost effort of any army. Rows
<»f cannon and files of mu*ketry bristled along
its ramparts, and ils very height was fearful to
look upon Yet the man who led the assailants
was nut lo he deterred by difficulty He had
determined to accomplish what he had marched
for—to take lhe palace.
At three o’clock, on the morning of lhe 21st.
Colonel Childs left the camp, with three com
i panies, on his way to the palace. Their road
j lay oversleep rocks, covered with loose frag
ments. or hedges of chapparal. They march
' ed rapidly but with muffled tread until, at day
break, they found themselves within one hun
dred yards of a Mexican breastwork of sand
bags. Here, being discovered, they paused to
await reinforcements 'Pare© privates how
ever, had advanced ahead ol their companions,
and were surprised by a party of Mexicans, to
whom they surrendered They were shot with
■ -heir own muskets. Major Scott and Colonel
1 Stamford now advanced to the support of
Chiids, toiling up the Meet) ascent, and
obliged tv carry a heavy howitzer upon lheir
; shoulders. When these reached the summit
lhe loud burst* of the howitzer, and the renew

conflict had begun in earnest AH at once the
Mexican force collected a'»4 jHiured toward

would almost have touched the Americans
when a loud bnr-t rang upon the air, and the
dense mass roiled backward, as though struck
by an earthquake. Then followed a p »al of
, musketry, and lhe broken cavalry fled in ter

ihe Americans followed them, rushed upon

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Weekly- Report- Tuesday,?. M.
COTTON.—We closed our last weekly report
with an active demand, an animated market, and
prices gradually advancing. This state of thmgs
continued during the xveek up to Saturday evening,
when an advance us a full jc. on last week’s prices
wan freely paid. The stock on sale at that time was
very low. On Sunday evening accounts one week
later were received, and the operations in our market
on Munday were on a very limited scale —holders no*
offering their stocks, as almost all the cottons in our
warehouses are limited by the planters (who are the
holders) at prices much above the rates now current.
To-day the demand continued good and sales were
made at the full prices current before the accounts
were received. The sales of the week reach
2,217 bales at the following rates: 6 bales at 6} ;
2 at 6|; 47 at 6| ; 52 at 7; 34at7|; 193 at 7};
90 at 7 5-16; 75et7g; 39 at 7|; 102 at 7 9-16;
1149 at 7 j ; 67 at 7} ; 74 at 7 j ; 51 "t 8 ; and 4 bale?

The receipts of Cotton at Augusta and Hamburg
since the Ist September, reach 280,942 bales, agai net
180,028 bales, at same date last year, showing an ex
cels of receipts of 100 904 bales this year. The ship
ments to Savannah and Charleston reach 284,580 bales
against 147,984 bales fast year al same dates. The
stock on hand is now 22,915 bales against 49,327
bales last year, showing a decrease of 26.412 bales.
Thestock on hand at Augusta on the Ist of Septem
was 26,553 bales, being an excess over the stock on
the Ist July of 3,638 bales. The total receipts of I
Cotton at all the ports upto the latest dates now reach
2,651,652 bales against 2,206,211 bales at same dates

of September were 131,423 bale?; thestock on band at
the Southern cotton ports at same dates reach 96,523
bales against 228,524 bales last year, showing a de
crease of 132,001 bales, the stocks in the interior towns
are also ranch decreased. Th#* exports, it will be seen,
stiil continue to a very heavy extent, but from the
very reduced stock will coon be almost at an end.
Every day’s reports that we receive continue to
confirm our statements already made of the very dis
couraging prospects of tho planters for the growing
crop. In the neighboring counties the stand is repre
sented to be bad and the gruss difficult to overcome,
it is also represented to be full two weeks behind
its state at this date lust year.

Extracts of Letters received in this city dated :
LIVERPOOL. June 15. —The demand for Cottoi
ontinued good the early part of this at the ex

market has been comparatively quiet and less buu)
■nt the laH few days, it Ins remained steady nn
firm, and forraer quotations are repeated, say 4| to
air Upland, 4j for fair Mobile and 4| for fair Orlran>
here is a difference of opinion as to the quotation lot
•air Upland, some fixing it at 4f, but the market be
ing more quiet to-day we look upon 4| as the mor«
correct quotation. Middling Upland is 4|; middling
Mobile 4f a 4 j. and middling Orleans 4g a 4| per lb
The Hales for the week ended this day amount to
10,690 bales, of which 13.900 are on speculation,
chiefly in the earlier pari of the week, and 2500 for
•■Xpert. The American descriptions consist of 8600
Upland at 3} a 5; 6600 Alabama and Mobile at 3f a
4j; 17,500 Orleans at 3? a6, and 680 Sea Island at
a 17d. per lb. The winds have been unfavorable
for arrivals, and the import in the same time is only
15,180 bales. The stock in this port now amounts to
657,000 bales, of which about 488.000 are American.
Speculators have just taken 3000 bales al the dose of
*he dav.
No change of any consequence has taken place in
the Corn Market. Inferior Western Canal Flour,
shipped without inspection, is dull at 21sa21s6d. per
bbl; but for the better qualities of that description,
and for Philadelphia and Baltimore, there is more de
mand, at 23s a 23s 6d, with occasional small sales of
prime lots at 24s per bbl ; Ohio, 24s 6d: American
Wheat, 5s 10J to 6s lOd per 70 lbs. For Indian
Corn the demand is steady, at 34« for white, and 35?

HAVRE, June 13 — Colton.— The message of the
Piesident of the Rt public was received on tho 7th
net., and on the same day advices from the United
State per Hibernia also came to hand ; these accounts
being favorably interpreted, our market becamu ex
ceedingly active, and towards 12 a. m. the South
ampton steamer brought the result of the Liverpool
market of Tuesday, announcing sales to the extent of
12 009 bales, so that upwards of 4boo bales changed
hands with uh, and a sensible improvement in prices
took place. Li several instances tres-ordinary Loui
siana fetched 1.72 these transactions were not suffi
cien’ly established in order to raise our price current
above f.l on all designations. We now look for the
arrivals of 47 ahipe from the United States, 22 of
which had cleared with upwards of 42,300 bales at
our last dates. Tho sales of the week reach 8277
bales, but we have not received any supplies this
week either in Cotton or other goods. Our stock fa
reduced to 33,231 b iles. The total sales amounting
to 8,277 bales are ae follows : 4565 bales New Or

SAVANNAH, June 27. — General Remarks.—
Af;er the frosts in April tho Plantersuf Georgia were
favored with some fine refreshing showers, and the
prospects tor g »od crops were so much improved tha’
the damage by the cold weather was in a measure for
gotten. The weather recently however, ha not been
so favorable, there have been some sudden changes
from cool to extremely hot weather, and within a few
*davs wc hear serious complaints about the drought
which is beginning to be severely felt in this region.
Cotton.— Arrived since the 6th inst.. 9,73* bales

at same time lust year. The receipts since Ist Sep
tember exceed those of last year 176,329 bales, and
the exports 174,825 bales.
At the tune of closing our last weekly report the
market was unsettled, but on Wednesday morning
the arrival of the America at Halifix was announced,
also that Cotton had advanced fd in Liverpool during
foe week prior to her sailing This news had the
effect to advance prices at once, and to give much ac
tirity to our market, the sales on Wednesday and
Thursday being more than 2,000 bales. The de
mand lias continued good, and the market has been
firm, wnh a constant upward tendency. The sales
yesterday were about 700 bales, and the total for the
week amount to 5,127 bales at from 6to 8| cfs. The
par'icufars of the sules lor three wi eks amounting to
12,800 bale* l sre an follows : -22 at 6; 55 at 6J; 117

CHARLESTON, Juno 29.— Cotton. — The Cot
ton mat ket at the close of the preceding week was
sensibly affected by the favorable advices brought
over by the steamer America, aided by the very li
mited supply offering, and at the time we made up
our former report, prices, it will be recollected, had
advanced a full jto jc. The market was further
stimul ited on Friday last—the first day of the current
week—by the comparatively active demand which
prevailed at the time, and the very small amount of
fering. and upwards of 1100 bales were sol i. The
rates of the preceding day were not o- ly obtained, but
the competition buyer* enabled holders to sell
on decidedly better terms. On Saturday transac
tion? were tuspendetl, as only 50 bales were sold ;
the market opened on M mday, however, with a fair
demand, and nt the clo-e of business on that day up
ward?. of 1000 bale* had been purchased, and although

they were topped by the operations of thia day. For
