Tho intelligence of our late astonishing victo
ries, in tho fnco of a fee superior in numbers and
intrenched, behind natural fortifications, has, in
olicitiug tho admiration of tho country fbrtho ho-
roio men who havo planted .our standard even on
the ramparts of the Halts of the Montexumas,
and driven therofrom the haughty chieftains of an
obstinate race,—also awakened griof in tho bos
oms of many who mourn a husband, parent or
child, struck dowu at thomomeut of tho triumph
of our arms.
Tho nocessity of war is at all times to be re
gretted, and not the loss so, when wo find the
greatest of Republics compelled to teach an oh-
stiiiato though imbecilo race, governed by ambi
tious military chieftains over since Ihoy wrested
thoir independence from Spain, that jnstice to
oilier nations cannot be withheld without involv
ing them in war,and entailing upon them the po
sition of the conquered. But the, sympathy so
lavishly bestowed upon Mexico it misploood, for
they havo a merciful onomy to deal with, who in
tho moineut that victory is cortain, interposo the
shield of mercy, sparing the innocent as much as
In thoir powor. While tho lowest classes of Mex
ico con hardly be made by a state of war moro
miserable than their wretched government makes
them,, their, loaders, who rido in the whirlwind
and direct tho storm, aro contending for personal
preferment.
Our officers and men for the honoi of tho Na
tion, have loft their homos and firesides to carry
the war into Mexico, not for tho love of fighing,
but because in the eyes of Nations their country 1
cause was to bo vindicated, and tho rights of thoir
countrymen respected.
Tho fields of Buena Vista, Monterey, See.,
have elicited more admiration in Europe and ex
torted moro respect for us ns a people than tho
fruits of a thirty years* peace, with our extend
ed commerce, our improvements in the arts, and
our social prosperity everywhere visible.
Titeir field marshals and thoir generals havo
boon seized with wonder when they looked upon
our little regular force with tho brave volunteers,
who had never boon in battle—nay, many of
them knew nothing of a soldier’s discipline, stand
ing up for days exposed to a mudorous fire, and
finally defeating five times thoir number.
Tisfor such men that a nation mourns. ’Tis
for such patriots that tho bosom of tiio survi
ving wife, sister and child throbs with anguish,
when the sad intelligence is brought to their
homos that their blood has been poured forth on
tho field of battle.
Tho revored parent sleeps tho sleep of death,
but his name is cherished by a grateful country.
Tho idolized husband—tho beloved sou, lio
stretched bonbath a foreign soil, but they lived for
their country, and in the hour of her need they
proved themselves her sons.
Goorgia, os well as other States, has boon call
ed to mourn over tho loss of those whose valor
was their prido. Georgia, not less than other
States, owe too a tribute of gratitude to thu gal
lant dead,—a tribute which cannot bo felt by the
bosom whicii has ceased to beat with tho pulse
oflife, but can bo acknowledged by those who in
life were cherished by tho soldier who now sleeps
tho sleep of death—by tho widow and th© child
ren of McIntosh and of Twioos.

“I have completely broken up the nest of mur

resu|t is, that tho fellows are panic-struck, and
have taken themselvos off—not a single shot hav
ing boen fired into my camp. A few still linger
about; but-rarely show themselvos. Two of them
attacked one of my men,by the namo of Watts of

armed. He killod one, from whoso body he took
a U. S. dragoon sword and belt; the other he

escaped. If! only had a squadron of dragoons, I

delighted with this, aud trade has become quite

Mexico; but that, as this neighborhood had cliosen
to make war on its own account, in a guerrilla
shape,it could nor compluiii of any consequences
which hud followed, and would certainly follow,
its evil conduct. They replied, that it was all just

Extracts ofa letter from Mr. Joint R. Keuly, of
the army of the United States, dated attho Na
tional Bridge, tho 30th September, to Major
L. Thomas, U. S. A., (Adjutant General’s Of
fice,) Washington-
“I havo hositated to write you in relation to tha
late news from tho interior, because I feared to
send you information thut might prove false, and
still more feared that I would only forward you
that which had ulready been received from other
sources, and that my motives might bo miscon
strued ; hut I yield to iny own feelings, and there
fore huve to inform you that at midnight of tho
27tli ult., an express reached this post from
Brigadier General Lane, who was at tho Plan del
Rio, 15 miles from hore 4 bringing an order for
Major McCoy, of tiro Indiana regiment, to move
forward immediately, with all tho troops hero,
(with tho exception of our battalion,) as Major
Lally, then at Julapa, had received an order from
Colonel Childs to move to his support, by reason

of tha approach of General Santa Anna on Puc-
i ^* n J or McCoy left forthwith, nnd I know
that ho jouied Gen. Lane on the morning of the
♦Stli, and that tho whole brigade is now at Jalapn;
thus, if General Lane moves to tho support of
Colonel Childs, of which I havo no doubt, ho
will carry with him nearly 3,000 men. On the
morning of the 28th, a young Mexican officer
reached here from Jalapn, (he nnd a passport from
Gon. Lane,) fromjwhich I obtained the following
information—corroborated entirely by what I have
since learned from tho British courier—tlint after
file nrmistice was broken, and our troops had
entered tho city (fttll particulars of which and
the last buttle you will doubtless have heard
long beforo this roadies you) a large portion of
the Mexican infantry which had escaped,took the
rond to San Luis, under Herrera; whilst some
3,000 cavalry under Santa Anna took tho road to
Puebla; the citizons (or rather the lower dosses)
of which placo, nntorior to his arrival, had risen
on our troops and killod some of them, which
forced Col. Childs to bombard the town, causing
considerable destruction to life and property, and
reducing the town to submission. Tiio British
courier from tho city of Mexico arrived to-day,
and .we are informed that ho saw Santa Anna in
Puebla; that Col. Childs had possession of the
surrounding heights, and, if provisioned, could
hold his own, ns Jio had plenty of wator. Ho (tho
courier) was loth to speak on the subject, nnd I
cannot give you any ftirther particulars of the
state of our Ibrco at Pueblo.
“From the courier we are also informed that he
had seen Paredes in the city ofMexico, (whilst our
troops were in possession,) but who, finding that
nothing could he donothero, owing to die vigi
lance of Gen. Scott, had left die city, nnd retired to
his estate, some, fifty miles distant; that the Mexi
can Congress would meet on die 5th of October at
Querotaro; and Uiat ho thought it probable Santa
Anna hud come this way in order to escape from
tho country. He also seemed to think uint tho
prospects of peace were more flattering, whilst
die young Mexican officer (in my opinion, a typo
ofius countrymen J ridiculed die idea of surrender
ing any portion of their territory.
“Our force is small hero, but wo nro actively
engagedin strengthening our position, and, of
courso, will defend it to tho last axtremity, if at
tacked.”
Muskets in the Army.—The N. Y. Mirror of the
21st inst. says The volunteers in Mexico be
gin to coinplaiu diut the United States musket
is too heavy. There can bo no doubt of it. Tha
United States musket may do well enough to
inarch about tho strocls with, or on good roads—
but when the soldier has to pass swamps, dirough
thick woods or over mountains, they aro unman
ageable. Another circumstance ought to be men
tioned, our government has not supplied die
troops yet witii the patent caps, hut continue tho
old, - hard moving flint locks. This is, “to bo
behind the ago.” Tho writer saw 12,000 men
bout to embark from Franco ftfr Africa three
years sinco, and every man had a musket
with wedded bayonets and putout cap locks.—
We boast of our improvements, but iu military
equipment we are behind the times.
Death of Col. David Folsom.—This highly res.

States a steadfast friend—wiio has been the same
at all times. Col. F. has filled every position that

His moral, industrious and enterprising examples

Col. F. served as a leader ofa party of Choctaw

Only two weeks have gone by, since we wore
called upon to announce dio lamented death of
George Decatur Twiggs, a young man of rare
worth nnd intelligence, and tho only and boloved
son of Major Twiggs of die United States Marino
Corps. Yesterday, tho naiufttl duty dovolved
upon us of recording the deatii of tho father,
Major Twiggs himself, who fell while discharging
his duty as an officer of dio army, and battling in
die cause of tho nation. Tliu* futiior and son

and'tha other brandies of die highly respected

First a son and a brother snatched away—
and ihon a husband and a father ! The first blow

We tender our kindliest, warmest sympathies.—
And yet, at such a moment, words must seem

Tho Charleston Courier of tho 25th inst. says;
—In alluding to the failure of die old and highly
respectable houso of Reid, Irving & Co., of Lon

We loam from tho Bank of Charleston, and

£100, widi oue or two exceptions, a portion of
them have doubtlcn boon paid, hut how much
the Bank is unable at present to state. Whatever
of diis amount, howevor, that romained out after
the stoppage of Koid, Irving & Co., would he
protected by the Bank of Liverpool, (dio regular
correspondent of tho Bank of Charleston,) who
promptly interfered for die purpose, and have al
ready paid and rslurued to tiio Bank ail die drafts
presented prior to the 5th October.
Tho Bank of Charleston, as it is well known,
keep thoir gouoral account widi the Bank of Liver
pool in Liverpool, nnd tiioir transactions widi
tiicm aro numerous, and to a lurge extant. Widi
Reid, Irving Sc. Co., they havo kept a small spe
cial account, for die convenience of small remit
ters in Charleston to Ireland; and who, during
die into famine, wanted checks direct there upon
London, nud at sight; and for diis purpose it was
rarely necessary to, keep a balance in London of
moro than from £ 1000 to £5000. Their balance,
wo understand, ns shown by Reid, Irving &. Co’s,
accouut current on the 30th Juno last, was £2894
17s., from which is to be deductod an amount of
sight chocks tiicn in transitu, hut drawn prior to
that date, and bo much of tiio amount drawn since
the 1st July, as may appear to have been paid.
Tho balance, whatever it may bo, with throe bills
of Exchange remitted for collection, sent long be
foro their failure, and not yet matured, and a-
mounting in the aggregate to £3675, comprises
die oxteut of die implication of the Bunk of Charles-
ton with Reid, Irving Sc Co. The bills remitted
for collection it is supposed will he hauded over,
or tho proceeds hold by die assignee for account
of the Bank.

Tho Failures Abroad.
The London Sun, in a ;vell written article up
on tho failures abroad, has tho following remarks
“Wo publish m another part of the Sun nn ac
count or tiio liabilities and credits of tire firm of
Sanderson & Co., from which it appears that dm
total amount owing by them, uotcovered by equiv
alent security,amounts to 168,420/. against which,
(and also against tho rosponsibilty on die bills run
ning, which it is to be iioped will not bo vory
weighty,! there ure assets held by die firm amount
ing to 259,900/, and tho separate property of tho
purtners, amounting to 18o,000/, showing a sur
plus of278,580/, after providing full satisfaction
for every claim. Is it possible to find a stronger
condemnation of the system by which men of uu-
hletniscd integrity, meriting compliments such ns
tlint which was paid to Air. SauUerson, should be
driven to a temporary stoppage l»y die effects of
tire restrictions und impediments imposed upon
tho commerce ami enterprise of die country by
laws which, in seasons of prosperity, aro utterly
usoloss, hut which, in nnydiingfike a pressure,ag
gravate tire difficulties to a feurful exteut 1
“Now dint tire tido has turned, that tiio funds
are again rising,and confidence is beginning to he
restored, we trust dint there will no longer he any
occasion for tire gloomy forebodings that have
been indulged iu lor some timo mist, and which
havo so greatly aggravated tire difficulties diut hud
to be encountered. The houses that have sur
vived die shook will have given tire strongest ev
idence of their stability, and may fairly look for
increased facilities in their future dealings, whiio
die dangers and embarrassments that havo taken
place will lead all persons interested in the com
mercial prosporty of tire country to inquire into
and investigate tho causes which led to such un
toward results; and when they have satisfied diem-
selves tlint diey are fairly ascrihabte totlie present
state of tire banking laws, and tire restrictions
thereby imposed upon our trade nnd commerce,
a universal demana will arise for a free trade in
money, and the abolitiou of tiresc vexatious en
actments—a demand whicii, coming from all
classos in tho community, must prove irresistible.
Thus good may arise from die past evils, and, by
tiieir very weight and magnitude, we may
speedily be freed from tire grievance under which
we might otherwise havo boen oppressed for a
long series of years.”

and tire many astonishing cures it is constantly
performing, has proved it to be, beyond all doubt,
(From tho N. Y. Mirror, of Friday Evening.)
The Episcopal Convention.
The real interest of the Convention began yes
terday by a resolution from dio Rev. Dr. Forbes,
proposing a restoration of Bishop Ondordonk to
his Episcopal functions.
The following is tho resolution offered by Dr-
Forbes:
Resolved, As the sense of this House, diatin all
cases of sentence of suspomion from the office of
Bishop, or from die performance of any episcopal
or ministerial duty—if the judgment of die church
or tribuual does not fix a time or specify condi
tions for the termination of tire suspension—it
shull, as well as hi the cose of any other sentence
at present in force, ns in tire cose of all future
sentences, he deemed nnd taken to continue to
die end of die sessiou of the General Convention
noxt after pnssing the same, nnd no longer.
Provuled, That a majority of die convention
of die diocese of such suspended Bishop shall
uot, at the first ensuing session of diut body, dis
sent from dio exerqisq.of such Bishop, of his epis
copal duties within *qid diocese.
Dr. Forbes contended dint dio suspension of
the Bishop was illegal, and diat ho might, at any
time, assume his office without the action
of the convention, if ho chose to do so, nnd that
dio clorgy and laity wero hound to support him
in so doing. Thero wore several speakers who
rose when Dr, Forhos took his soat. The house
took a recess until 7 o’clock, and on their re-aa*
sombling Dr. Hawks, of Louisiana, took the floor,
and made ono of his most splendid spooches in
opposition to die resolution, wherein he proved
most conclusively diut tho diocese was actually
vacant by the suspension, when he moved an'ad-
die only safe aud certain cure for Pulmonary
Consumption, Coughs, Colds, Asthma. Spitting
Blood, Livor Complaint, Nervous Debility, Tick
ling or Rising in die Throat, Bronchitis, Difficul
ty of Breadung, or any symloms of Cousuuip
don.
If the bowels are costive, a mild purgative
should be resorted to occasionally. Dr. SwaynoV
tiarsapnrilia Pills will be found a valuablo acqui
sition to tire Wild Cherry, nnd will prove a valu
able medicine where nn aperient is required.
Dr. Swayne’8 Compound Syrup of Wild Cherry
is a medicine which has stood the test of experi
ence, and if ttsod according to tire directions (us
described in Dr. Swayncs' Guido to Health) sel
dom fails. Tire above pamphlet is well worth a
perusal.
CAUTION! CAUTION!
Avoid all spumous preparations of Wild Cliorry,
such as Balsams, Bitters, Syrups of Wild Cherry,
Pills purporting tp contain Wild Cherry, See.,
Sc.c., as they are ail fictitious and counterfeit, and
contain none of tire virtues of die original and
genuine preparation, as prepared by Dr. H.
Swnyne, and die first over prepared in diis coun
try. DR. SWAYNE’S COMPOUND SYRUP
OF WILD CHERRY is composed of vegetable
ingredients, the Wild Cliorry, nnd other medicinal
sitbstmices, equally ns efficacious, if not more so;
the whole are so effectually concentrated as to
render it beyond all doubt tho most pleasant,
strengdienmg, nnd effectual remedy ever dis
covered for die cure of Fultnonaiy Consumption,
and all diseases of the Lungs nnd Breast. The
vety fact,,from its having such a train of spurious
imitators, stands to prove its great curative pro
perties.
Therefore, invalids, inquire for the original
preparation, each bottle of which is] enveloped
ma beautiful wrapper, widi a likeness of \vm.
Penn engraved theron;also bearing dio signature
of Dr. H. Swayuo, the counterfeiting or which
will be punished as forgery.
