From the Washington Union, 23d inst.
Extract of a letter from nn officer in tho army to
his friend in Washington, dated
City of Mexico, Sept. 21,1S17.
I promised to write to you occasionally, and
havo just two reasons for not complying—first, no
time since our arrival at Vera Cruz, aud, second,
on almost perfect certainty that the guerrillas
would get my letters if I did write. I now write
a few words, to assure you that I am alive, and
retain the same regard for you that I havo cher
ished for twenty years.
Yon are quite aware that no two appointments
were more illiberally denounced than those of
Maj. Gen. Pillow and Brig. Gen. Shields. I
have had die amplest opportunities of observAing
the conduct of both for several hundred miles of
a most trying march, and in the battles of Contre
ras, ChurubuscQ, San Antonio, Molino del Rey,
Chapultcpcc, San Cosmo, and Tacnbaya. At a
most critical moment, at Chapultcpcc, General
Scott sent word to the gallant Pillow, command
ing the party storming die almost impregnable for
tress of Chapiiilepcc, Umt all was lost if thoy fail
ed. “Tell General Scott that the men under my
command shall carry it, or I will be loft dead on
the field.” He was dion badly wouuded, and giv
ing his orders os he lay on die field. The preju
dices of die enemies of the President, and, what
is worse and most incurable, the prejudices cf
the old army, have given way before the brilliant
and successful conduct of Generals Pillow and
Shields.
Congress meets soon. I pray you to use your
influence to cause tho speedy enactment of a strin
gent law against the maltreatment of wagoners
and soldiers by the officers of die army. *

A Stage-Coach is my abomination l A night
ride in a Stage-Coach I regard as one of tho real
“honafide" calamities of iilb In these days of
Rail-roads and Steamboats, when one is borne
'over splice with the rttah of the wind, a transi
tion from on elegant car on the Central, or Macon
and Western Roil Rood to a Stage-Coach, is not
one of those changes which are said to constitute
“the spico of fife.” Saving a degree of socia
bility, produced by the proximity of seats in this
antiquated vehicle, l con think of no pleasing pro
perty which can be said to belong to* it ; aud this
again is only pleasing in case it has pleasing ma
terial to act upon. A gentleman with a villai

rights, arc all disagreeable neighbours in a Stage-
Coach.
know of no pleasurable change iu tho motions
of this Imrburous conveyance. If it drags slowly
through the sand, one is tantalized almost to ex
haustion by the tedious monotony of sound and
of movement; if it dashes rapidly down a hill,
ono feels squeamish about the neck, thinks about
broken collar bones, and conversation immediate
ly turns upon capsizing, ruu-a-woys, etc. etc.—
Ifyou are sleepy, and give yourself up for a mo
ment to old Morpheus, bob goes your head against
somo infamous wood-work or iron-work, and
you have a knot on your cranium os big os a
pigeon’s egg. If your neighbor should chance
to broach politics, and you wax warm in the dis
cussion, just as you arc about to prove, by an ir
resistible climax of argument, that “the march to
tho Rio Grande” did not produce the war, slain-
bang goos the coach over a rocky hill, or a mis
called Rail-way over a swamp, and your elo-
queuce is lost in tho screams of tho baby, and
the hysterical oxclamatiou of its frightened moth-
And then comes the foudling of the husband
aud the father, perfectly hideous to behold, unless
it is indulged in by the first person of the singular
number towards his own better half, and his own
especial bantling. Politics are knocked out of
your head ! and you settle down again into a
state of silent misery', and feel as ifyou were rid
ing through an earthly purgatory.
However, all things have an end; and . here wo
are at last, at the dawn of day, rattling across the
Chattahoochee upon a covered bridge. Beauti
ful stream ! whether it meanders through the
sweet vale of Naucoochce, washing the feet of
Mount Yonnh, or thunders over the grey rocks
near Columbus, or rolls hero deep and dark,
without a murmur, overflowing tho soul with
‘the beauty of its stillness.” About this time
eight years ago, I crossed the same river, over tho
same bridge, and entered a country which had
not very long been abandoned by the Creek In
dians, and which still retained many traces of its
old masters. Now how deplorably changed!—
The forests then covered the greater portion of
the earth; tall, old trees which had been standing
for centuries in tho woods; all beneath open ns
fur as tho oye could see, fertile Indian custom of
burning the dry loaves in the Autumn, had pre
vented the under-growth from springnig up.Thoso
forestshave fallen beneath the axe, and the hunt
ing ground of tho Warrior is now the snowy
cotton field of the raoney-mukiug planter. I had
seen but few more beautiful regions of country
than that inhabited by the Creeks on the banks
of the Chattahoochee, and I was not unprepared
to hoar that some of that race had been most re
luctant to bid it adieu. Rumor said, at tho time,
that nn old chieftain had refused to accompany
the departing tribe, aud that he had been slain by
his friends in n species of savage mercy. A skull
dug up from a cubiu floor (where these Iudiaus
were in the habit of burying their dead) aud which
had been cleft through by the blow of a toma
hawk, seemed to confirm the truth of the story.
The following Hues are suggested by it.
When from the fuir ami fertile lands
That on the Chattahoochee lie,
The CiO'iks preparer’, with weakened bands,
To move towards tho western sky,
A white-haired chieftain, loved and feared,
As children love and fear their sire,
Spoke in their councils,—every word
Fell on their souls like liquid fire.
Go! sock ho said, tho western woods,
New hunting-grounds uud burial place,
Revivo among those solitudes
Tho broken spirit of our race;
Your sons to sterner manhood train
Than that which graced their humbled sires,
That they surrender not again,
Iu slmme, their homes and council fires.

(From tho Wo*hiugton Union, 23d in*L]
Letter from Gen. Shields.
MEXICO, Sept 27,18-17.
To the Editor of the Union:
Dear Sin: I hope you will permit me to nvnil
myself of your columns to notice an article,which
first appeared in tho New York Herald,and after
wards obtained circulation inother papers through
out the Union, reflecting severly upon tho medi-
cnl department of tho army, and referring to tho
treatment of my first wound as ail instance of the
iguorance ofthe surgeons of that department.—
The following is tho article to which 1 allude t
“Jinny members of tho medical department of
tho army are lamentably deficient in skill and ex
perience. In proof of this, I would point to the
fact that the surgeons in attendaucc on Gen.
Shields did not discover tho extent of his injuries
for a month after he received his wounds, being
for all that time ignorant that two of his ribs were
injured. Gen. Butler will, in all probability, be
lame for life, through either the ignorance or tiie
neglect of tho surgeon who dressed his wound.—
Many other instances of a like nature are within
my knowledge.”
I regard it ns an net ofsimplo justice to at
tempt to rescue tiie character ol the surgeons who
attended me, in my time of trial und suffering,
from the imputations contained in this article. 1
received tiie wound to which allusion is made on
the 18th of April, at Corro Gordo, while assault
ing a battery of five guns, with a portion of my
commaud in front—another portion of my
command having attacked it at thesame time, pur
suant to my orders, on tiie flank. The wound
was made by a leaden or iron grope nearly three
times the.size of a musket-ball. It eutered my
right broast, just tinder the uipple, and passed out
of my hack within about half nn inch of the spine.
From tiie spot where I fell I was carried on tiie arms
of soldiers (under the direction of my aids, Lieuts.
Hammond and Davis) about two miles to the gen
eral hospital. During the whole of thu route
my course might be tracked by tiie blood which
streamed out of the wound. The agony I suffer
ed was so intolerable that I longed for death, uud
often requested to be stretched on some green
spot where I might breathe my last within near
ing of tiie victorious shouts of my troops. My aids
remonstrated with me on this, und had mu borne
onwards to die hospital. Here my wound was
dressed, aud the blood staunched by Dr. Wright,
of the regular army, nud Dr. McMillan, then at
tached to one of my regiment* as acting surgeon.
From the hospital I was again home on a litter the
«aino day about two millo* and a half to a little
hut on the Julapa road. Here I was attended for
several days by Dr. McMillan—every one expect
ing that every hour would he my last. From this
f -laco I was borne iu a few days on a litter to Ja-
ipa, where I remained until luy recovery. I was
attended during thef whole of my illness hv Dr.
McMillan, who exhibited during tint time not on
ly the most consumate skill as a surgeon, but
such care, assiduity, and devotion, a* to endear
him to me for life. I must not omit to mention
that Dr. VnnderHnden, Surgeon-General of the
Mexican army, (who had been made prisoner by
my coiuinad) rendered efficient aid to Dr. McMil
lan during a portion of this time. The broken
ribs to which allusion is made in the article were
not only known to the surgeons ivho attended me.
but to myself, tho moment I was striped and ex
amined; hut this was considered so trifling a mut
ter,compared with the terrible nature of my wound,
that it excited but little uneasiness and attention. It
bocomes me to say here—what l sincerely feel—
that my recovery has been providential; medical
skill aud surgical talent could do but little for such
a terrible wound. I understand there is no in
stance recorded of such a recovery. I attribute,
therefore, with a grateful heart, my preservation
aud recovery to God alone*, but next to God, my
gratitude is due, and iny recovery attributable, to
the skill and devotion of my attending surgeon,
Dr. McMillan, recently. I am happy to say, per
manently appointed. But I will go farther uud
assert that the medical department ofthe regular
army will compare, in professional skill nml in
telligence, with that of any other medical body of
equal sizo the world. Some of tiie more re-
centappointments 1 know also to bo excellent;
but there are doubtless some who are confessedly
deficient iu all the attributes of surgical skill anil
experience. This could scarcely be avoided un
der the circumstances; and considering the hur
ried manner iu which tiie appointments Imd to be
made. I regret to say that I aui again suffering
under the ullliction of another wound, received
at tiie storming of Chnpultepec. Tho wound is
from n musket ball, received in the left arm,
whichhos occasioned mo much pain, but my sur
geons assure me the arm is sufe. So entire has
been my recovery from the effects of the for
mer wound, that at Puebla I assumed command
of a brigade, consisting of tho New York nml
South Carolina volunteers, und the marine corps,
under Lieut. Col. Watson. We marched from
Puubln nml entered the valley of Mexico with an
armv amounting iu all to ten thousand two hun
dred men. Our inarch was one of extreme dif
ficulty—over roads broken up nml filled with
rocks. We reached San Augustin on the 18th
of August,, from whence we could see the en
emy’s troops and work* at Contreras.—
<Ju the 19th I led two regiments—the New
Yorker.* nml Palmettos—across a route that was
deemed impassable by Mexican* for everything
l»ul goats; joined the other forces in the night; re
mained most of tiie night without shelter or cover
ing, under incessant raiii; nml joined in the attack
in the morning which carried the position, and
cut Valencia’s whole force to pieces. .Ml this I
encountered without suffering nnyinjury from the
effects of my former wound. From Contreras I
joined ill pursuit of the enemy towards Mexico.
We came up with tho main ho-.ly of his army at
Churubusco. The enemy’s force was about thir
ty thousand. Tho position was most formidable.
The fortifications were not only exceedingly strong,
but their infantry was posted trader cover of em
bankment*, which afforded them such protection
us to enable them to lire on us with security. The
battle at this place was not only a bloody but a
terrible one. The .Mexicans determined to
make it their last great struggle, and the Ameri
can.* fought with desperation; knowing that noth
ing was left for them but success. llere I lost
o ver half my command in killed ami jvounded.
Some of the noblest officers and bravest men
that ever marched to buttle fell on that bloody
field. Yet we routed the whole Mexican array,
and drove it, panic-struck into tiie city; and
had I, who happeimed to be in the advance,
only been permitted to continue the jiurstiit into
the city, I doubt not, from what wo have since
hoard of their fright, that they would have run
through tho city, uud sought shelter in the moun
tains. Peace however being tiie great ob
ject, it was hoped that tiie moment was favorable
for that purpose. Santa Anna, however, whose
whole being is a composition of falsehood and
treachery, employed the time in preparation for
defence, and imposed upon us the further neces
sity of carrying Chupultepec and taking the city.
This was all done, too, in the most glorious man
ner. The whole American force on the ground,
exclusive of killed and wounded, when .Mexico
was taken, was less than 8,000; the whole force
employed was little more than 6,000. So, my
dear friend, you may tell tho world that an army
of between 0,000 uud 7,000 American* has taken
the city of Mexico, strongly fortified, with an ar
my of between twenty uud thirty thousand men
within its walls. True, we have suffered, uud suf
fered aoverely. Many a noble spirit ha* breath
ed his last in the valley of Mexico; but the glori
ous result* have proved to the world the invinci
bility of the American arms. I have been thus
diffusive, to show that my recovery has been test
ed by every specie* of trial and endurance to
which tho human system can be subjected. It is a
hard case therefore, that the physicians who con
tributed so much to tiiis recovery should be ac
cused of incapacity, aud that my recovery ill itself
so wonderful, should bo vouched a* nil instance
to provo this incapacity. I trust those journal*
that gave place, inconsiderately, to the article to
which 1 allude, will do me the favor, in justice to
my physiciau mid tiie medical department of the
army, to insert this letter.
I have thehouor to be your friend and obedi
ent servant, JAMES SHIELDS.
was ono of the most violent which has occurred
in our city for many years. The combatants,
after fighting with their fists, sticks and stones, re
sorted to the use of fire arms, and a number of
dtochargestook place. Ono ofthe parties name
John Bond, rending, m Richmond st, received .
hall in the left: hi ng. He Was taken home, ant
Dr. Baxley, with other physicians, called in, but
owing to the nature of the wound they cOuld do
little, and the^man expired this morning in Conse
quence of iuward hemorrhage. Several others
are also roported to have been slightly wounded.
Timothy Costello, an adherent of tho New Market,
received a very severe wound from aflyingbrick.
The police were on the ground, and aided by
somo members ofthe Fire Department, did all iu
their power to stop the riot. Two of tho officers,
Messrs. League and Gross were struck by the fly?
in» missiles nud injured; Mr. Gross quite severely.
The following arrest* were made by tiie police,
John Petera, Georgo Showacre, Edward Salis
bury, L. O. Willis, llobt Elliott, Lewis Diffen-
dalc, Wm. Miller, John Cammerons,John Dykes,
Joseph Eaglcston, John Matthews, George Phil
lips, Edward Lucens, and Martin Ilgenfrttz, all of
whom were fined for throwing stones and also sent
to court on the charge of rioting.
Tho parties charged with a participation in the
riot were brought before the court this morning
and the following named person* convicted, Ed
ward Salisbury, John Petera, Lewis Diffetidale,
Wm. Miller, John Cnuimerous, John Dykes, and
Joseph Eagleston.—Each of the parties convicted
were sentenced to one month’s imprisonment, to
pay a line of $20 with costs, and to give Becurit
for their good behavior.
In passing the sentences Judge Brice remarked
thut it was the intention of the court to do all in
their power to put an end to these disgraceful riots
and, that each tune that parties were convicted be
fore the Court of being concerned in them, the
former punishment will be doubled.
The other parties, whose arrest by the Polico is
mentioned above, have demanded jury trial*, and
their cases will therefore have to go over to the
noxt term of tiie court, in order that indictments
maybe found against them by the Grand Jury.—

TIIE TELEGRAPli YSTEjf—AND THE
ATTEMPT TO MONOPOLIZE IT.
As every man iu the Uuiou i* interested in se
curing a proper arrangement ofthe Telegraphic
System, and as Public and Private Right* are as
sailed by the monopolizing pretension* of Messri.
F. O. J. Smith and Amos Kendall, controllers of
-Morse’s Patent, it is now become a nutter of gen
eral importance to ascertain whether those per
sonages ran really monopolize and control tho
whole business of Telegraphing in the United
States. With the purpose of bringing their arro
gant pretensions to the test ofhtw nnd justice. 1
challenged them to put their threats iuto exe
cution, IF THEY dare, by instituting such legal
proceedings ns would effectually show to the
American people which patent (Morse’s or mine)
was most or least valid, and which ofthe inven
tions (his or mine) was the most valuable for ac
curacy and safety, a* well as expeditious iu
transacting Telegraphic business.
Mr. F. 0. J. Smith and Mr. Amos Kendall have
visitod Cincinnati, threatening summary “prose
cution*,” for alleged “infringement of Morse’*
Patent.” My Letter Printing Telegraph “was
worked successfully to show its power, oil the
long lino*” between Pittsburg und Cincinnati,
and Cincinnati nnd Louisville—thus falsifying
their assertions and defying their threats.
I addressed them a private letter, and after
wards challenged them publicly to commence
prosecution njninst me, that the American People
could thus officially determine whether they or I
were right or wrong.
fST But Messrs. F. O. J. Smith nnd Kendall,
after ail their calumnies uud tiireuts of prosecution,
instead of promptly bringing tho matter before the
tribunals of the U. States—SHRUNK FROM
THE CONFLICT which they had denounced
against me—NOT DARING to encounter that
THOROUGH SCRUTINY which their MO
NOPOLIZING PRETENSIONS would meet
in the COURTS ofthe UNITED STATES.
Under these circumstances, I now no longer
delay my return to the citv of New York, to fur
nish the “LIGHTNLVG LETTER PRIN
TERS” required for use on the new Telegraph
line now costriicting by the “New Jersey Tele,
graph Company” between Philadelphia aud New
York—at either or both of which cities, I will al
ways be ready to test the question, in legal form,
“whether Morse’s Patent or my Patent is MOST
or LEAST VALID; atul whether -Messrs. F. O.
J. Smith and Kendall (controllers of Morse’s Pa
tent) have an exclusive monopoly of the Tele
graph system in the United States.”
X* for tiie calumnies published by a Ken
tucky paper since .Mr. Kendall’s visit to that re
gion, tho best refutation of them is, that, so far
from the experiments with iny Instruments prov
ing “unsatisfactory” on the lino when tried be
tween Pittsburgh nnd Cincinnati, nud Cincinnati
und Louisville, the constructor of that line (Mr.
O'Reilly) has ordered a large supply to he ready
for use either independently, or in connection
with other instruments, on the lines which lie ha*
already or inay hereafter construct, ill completing
tho “Atlantic, Lake and .Mississippi Telegraph;”
and the only reason why the two ♦ Letter Printers’
made for Mr. O’Reilly are now “boxed up” for
New York, is because he has consented to let
them ho used far models in constructing others
with greater expedition thnn could he done from
mere drawings of tho machinery—Mr. O'Reilly
having a!>o consented that these models should
be used for working the New Jersey Company’s
Telegraph Line in case other instruments cannot
be constructed in season—as requested from Mr.
O’Reilly by that Company.
As allusions have been made to the English
Patent, gristed for my Letter-Printing Tele-
grnp has an original ixyextiox, when Morse’s
Telegraph was refused an English Patent for its
want of originality, it is proner for me to men
tion that mv partner* (beside Mr. Ballard) in the
British Patent are ABRAHAM BKLL& SON,
of New York, one ofthe oldest and most respect
ed commercial houses in America; at whose ex
pense and trouble, or nt the expense of persons
with whom they made arrangements, Patents
were secured for my invention, not only in Great
Britain and her Colonies, but in various oilier
countries of Europe. My assailants, NOT DAR
ING to submit their pretension* and their calum
nies to the ordeal of the UNITED STATES
COURT, are welcome to all tho capital they can
now manufacture from their falsehoods about my
nationality, as well a* about the Letter-Printing
Telegraph—which Telegraph, whatever its other
characteristics may be, has one important merit, in
uiding (with other inventions) to render tho
AMERICAN PEOPLE INDEPENDENT of
tiie MONOPOLIZING OPERATIONS of
Messrs. F. O. J. Smith and Kendall in the busi
ness of Telegraphing.

MACON, Oct, 27.—Cotton.—Tho season con
tinues to be remarkably favorable for picking anti
preparing the crop for market. The receipts of
the week have been comparatively light, not ex
ceeding 2,200 bales. Business has been entirely
checked by tho disastrous news from Europe,aud
a decline of fully a cent and a quarter has been
experienced. *\Ve quote at 7 n7.J ct*.—while a
strictly prime article would bring but little over 8
cents.
MOBILE,Oct. 23.—Colton.—Arrived since this
day week 2863 bales, exported in the same time
1424, leaving the stock on hand aud on shipboard
not cleared last evening, 20649 bales,against 7,918
last season, and 16,442 the year previous.
Our last roport left the market very unsettled,
with light sales, consequent upon the European
news of the 19th.ult.—middling cottons were quo
led 9jc. For the week now under review the
transactions havo been somewhat extended, bill
the business is still light, in view of tho stock on
hand. Some 1900 hales have found purchasers
at a further reduction of fully jc. on die current
rates at the close of last week. The purchases
have been nearly equally divided betweon Eng
lish and Continental buyer.*; a few small lot* only
having been taken for tiie northern ports. The
market has assumed a steadier and more regular
tone—and although some holders still refuse tiie
present prices, generally they are more disposed
to meet buyers. Wo are again unable to give
our full scale of quotations, which as before re
marked, are fully 4c under the prevailing rates of
last week. The continued scarcity of shipping
add the difficulty of negotiating exchanges, tend
in no small degree to retard operation*.
