[Editorial Correipondcnco of tho Savannah Goorgian.]
MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 3, 1847.
Tho Inauguration of Hon. G. W. B. Towns,
Governor elect of tho 8tato of Georgia, took
place this day at 12 o'clock. Numbers filled tho
Hall of tho House long boforo the appointed
hour, and tho assemblage was rendered, beforo
noon, brilliaut and imposing by tho array of
brilliant eyes, which, front each sido of the aisle,
formed by sents occupied by tho beutUifiil daugh
ters of sunny Georgia, poured their artillery up
on tho hoarts of those of tho rougher sex, who,
like "Old Rough and Ready,” never surrender, ex
cept to those formed to sway by seeming to oboy.
Altogether, it was a sight to warm the bosom of
the patriot, for the eye rested upon the sttdwort
forms of the men of Chcrokco, who, like their own
majestic mountains, towered above eurrauuding
objects, but on thoir brows noYrown dwelt, or if it
did, it was gilded by tho radiance which glanced
from tho orbs of beauty. Other forms, too, wore
there—those of all sections of Georgia, who
yielded to tho inspiration of tho scene, fur the
Judge aud the Counsellor,—the Divine, and ho
not so devout,—the Legislator and tho anxious
Candidate for his favor,—tho recipient of Sena
torial honors hitherto conferred, aud he too who
is hugging to hislmsom the hope of representing,
or rather misrepresenting on tho lloor of tho Se
nate, for tho next six yenrs, tho constituents ho
has heretofore repudiated, besides others ambi
tious of venting thoir political spleen against the
President of tho majority of tho peoplo of Geor
gia;—all wore there to witness the peaceful issue
of an excited canvass, during which more than
83,000 free voters have declared their preference
for tho successful candidate for the Executive
Chair. A dignified position is that of Georgia’s
Executive, and we are gratified in believing that
the mantle has fallen on shoulders worthy of
wearing it.
Tho Inaugural Address, a copy of which I for
warded by first opportunity, was pronounced with
an emphasis which convinced all auditors that the
speaker was sincere in tho opinions ho advanc
ed. An enlightened system of Common Schools
a completion of tjio State Rail Road—a scorn
of repudiation on the part of a State us much us
on the part of individuals—the euergotic prose
cution of a righteous war, forced upon the coun
try by neighbors hostilo to our welfare and inim
ical to our prosperity as a people—a united re
sistance of every true Georgian to tho baleful
doctrines urged by Wilmot and his humble fol-
lowers,—will ull elicit a responsive thrill from the
citizens of our State, of either 'party, ns well
as of all ngos and conditions. The sentiments
of tho Governor elect on the war—the Wilmot
Proviso, &c., were rupturously applauded, as
was the entire address when ho concluded.
The two houses have transacted no business of
interest. To-morrow tho ulection of Judges, So
licitors, &c., will occupy tho time of the Legisla
ture, although tho resolution has not yet passed
the House. Tho State House offices will proba
bly bo filled next week, either by thoir present in
cumbents or thoir successors in office, as tho cuso
may be. When the election of a Senator or Sen
ators in Congress will bo ordered I cannot suy.
Messrs. Berrien, Crawford, (tho ox-Governor,)
und Dawson are the candidates on tho part of the
prominent Party. Wo presume that tho Demo
cratic members will be inero lookers on iu Vienna,
for in a political or party view it will ho a toss up
between them, for we do not believe in voing to
fill such an office with what is generally called tho
‘least obnoxious individual."
Our opinions would undergo a change perhaps,
if we could observe less acrimony on tho part of
Whig Senators against those who officially direct
tho destinies of thoir Country.
Yours, B.
MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 4,1847.
At about a quarter to 12 o’clock the House,
aftor passing tho resolution of Mr. Jones, of
Paulding, offered on Tuesday, making certain in

ute in their Hull, and proceeded to the election

MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 4,1847.
On resuming tho ballotting soon uftor 3 o’clock
this afternoon, for a Judgo of tho Court of Com
mon Ploasand Oyor and Terntiuor for the City
of Savannah, tho result of tho 3d balloting was de
clared to bo os follows: Ilardon 87—Shoflnll 88.
Tho President thou stated that as some gentlomen
thought that there was a mistake in counting out
the votes, aud ns tho ballots wore on tho desk
there would he nnotlier count. On tho bocoiuI
couut the result was Harden 87—Sheftull 89.—
So Mordecui Shcftall, Seu’r., Esq., was elected
Judgo of suid Court. My impression is that if
tho members had been. polled ou tho 1st ballot
Judgo Ilardon would have been declared elected.
This afternoon tho Whig majority wus increased
by the vote of a member absent this forenoon.—
Tho wholo strengh of tlio Legislature was appa
rent on tins ballot, except ono Whig absent—a
member from Wilkes. Tho Whig majority is
Jive ou joint ballot—Judgo Harden receiving one
voto from the Whigs on tho last ballot made tho
mujorty against him two, instead or four, which it
would have been, had 90 votes been given to his
succesfttl opponent.
For Attorney General of tho Middle Circuit—
John Pliinizy, (Dorn.) and Jno. J. It. Flournoy,
Mr.Pulhill,nnd Mr.Colvnrd,a!l three Whigs,woro

There being no choice, amotion thatthu Gen-
oral Assembly take u racosa until to-morrow
morning was carried, und tho Senate having re
tired, the House adjourned until ten o’clock to
morrow.
As a Democrat, I was pleased with tho union of
tho Democratic party in tho Legislature to-day, In
throwiug thoir united strength for thoir own mon,
worthy us they wero in evory respect of thoir
suffrages. Judge Harden, though defeated by
circumstances, I ins come out of the contest with
honor, aud has, by his deportment and philoso
phic bearing, based upon a consistent political
course as a sterling Democrat, entitled himself to,
as ho has acquired, tlio increased admiration of a
party, who act on principle, for the sake of prin
ciple. Tlio guillotine can remove tho body, but
cannot destroy the soul of such a man.
A word as to Col. Lamar’s voto forJudgc, fur
nished in my letter of this forenoon. lie was ta
ken up und run by his party without any aspira
tion of his own to thut high station, and his wish
es being known, ho lost votes which ho would
otherwise havo gained, for under that impression
some voted for Judge Nisbet, who would have
cast their ballots for Col. Lamar. I was not able
to bo in tho Sonuto to-day, but loam that Mr.
Doimgau introduced a resolution to proceed to the
election of ono U. S. Senator on Monday next,
but tho mover laid it on the table for tlio present.
Hon. W. J. Lawton, Senator from tho District
composed of the. comities of Scriveu and Effing-
hum, appeared^!! his scat to-day for tho first time,
having been detained from the Senate by tlio in
disposition of his fumily.
I must not forget to say that the Inauguration
Ball last night, passed off at Mrs. IIusou's, with
groat eclat. Macon shone there in nil her beauti
ful array of bright oyes, aud many u willing bach
elor acknowledged their infiueuce, us well as those
which added to tlio brilliancy of Georgia beauty
from Baldwin, Cobb, Twiggs, Jones, and other
counties. Savntmuli hud sotuo of her sons par
ticipants in tho festive scene which Governor
Towns graced with his presonco, but we looked
iu vain for her beautiful daughters. Mrs. IIusou’s
preparations for tho occasion wero much admir
ed. Tho small hours of tho morning overtook
the happy revellers, and they separated evidently
with reluctant footsteps from so unitmted a scene.
Yours, B.

The two Houses, after some motions which
were withdrawn, and tho President of tho Sonuto
stating that one ballot hud both names written oil
it and was therefore counted blank, proceeded to
ballot nnecond time, the names of the members be
ing called slowly uyd their ballots being depositud
in order to avoid the crowd to the desk and
the confusion therefrom.
The result of the second ballot was:
Judge Hurden, 87
Mr. Sheftull, 88
Blank, 1—170
Tho House, on motion, took a recess until 3
o’clock. I closo this at j past 1 o’clock.
. Resolutions' of Mr. Jones, of Paulding.
Resolved, That the Chief Engineer bo, and he is
hereby, required to lay before this House, a full
statement of the equipments of the Railroad, con-
dition, &c.—Mow many locomotives havo boon
purchased, aud at what price, and of whom; how
many freight cars, at what price, and of whom;
how many passenger cars, of whom, at whut price,
und when bought; whut loss has accrued in tho
purchase or exchange of engines; how many of
eacli as above named have been lured lor general
use, of whom, at whut price or terms; how many
for particular purposes, for what particular pur
pose, or on what terms; what was the cost of such
particular occasions', including all expenses, and
what the receipts from the locomotives ami car*

Whig “Conservatism”—What Is it ?
The medical profession bus often been rallied
upon tho supposition that to certain questionable
forms of disease, which cannot bo readily named,
described or classified, tlioy apply tlio general term
"pneumonia.” The joke may have no reason in
it, and may spring from tlio ignorance of its per
petrators, but it strikes us that the supposed char
acter of the creed for marvellous significance, or
u marvellous want of significance, as tho cuso may
lie, especially and most naturally fits the now
Wing term of"Conservatism!” If thero over wus
a word in politics or philosophy, which is made to
mean any thing and every tiling, to change its hue
with clmmeleon-like facility, to whiten or to dark
en, to burn or to freeze, us the occasion may re
quire, it is this modern uew-fimg led "conserva
tism." When tho error of Whig principles had
boon obviously proved, when the measure for
which they hud contended for years lmd been ful
ly exploded, when tlioy wero left with no prin
ciple of adhesion to keep them together, save
a sensuless opposition to tho constituted govern
ment of tlio country, then was this now word sug
gested as being an admirable cloak for a want of
principle; a mask that could wear a perpetual smile
though it might lie a perpetual deception on its
face.
To show how oxcellontly well it performs its
duty, aud fulfils its design, wo are content to
point for the present to cue especial instance iu
which it 1ms bestowed u boniguuut smile upon
our opponents in Georgia. In vain do voices
from the North, without a solitary note of discord,
bear to tho South the tidings that tlio entire Whig
party beyond Mason & Dixon’s lino, have set
their faces sternly against Southern rights under
the constitution of tlio country, uud tho extension
of Southern institutions. Wo uro told by our
trusting brethorn-"Oh! that is nothing! it amounts
to nothing nt nil 1 Wo rely upon tho great "con
servatism” of the Whig party to save us iu the
end.” Ill vain is it rhowu, on tho oilier hand, by
IVhig testimony, tljut tho masses of tlio Northern
Democracy, still tluo to tlio Republican principles
of States Rights, dud d restriction of tlio oxoreisu
of Federal poyer td tlia limits of tlio constitution
aro ih favor of rceodfii*h*g to their /Most oxtont
tiie rights and prerogatives of tlio South. Tho
rpp)y is—"bowatp haw you trust them I they, aro
attempting to c^jilo aud deceive! they pro agra
rian, diHorganlzInj- in thoir notions! Both parties
at tiio North iiro; ogtinst us in fooling upon tliis
subject, but wo roly upon Whig ‘conservatism 1 to
savo us iu tlio cud!”
Ntivor was thero a term witch concealed nioro
hypocracy than this, as uspd \y our opponents.
Tlio adjective, conservative, ncans “having tho
power if opposing diminution <r injury,” und how
it can bo for a moment applied to a class of poli
ticians who aim to destroy tlio ramprotiiisos of tlio
Constitution, and openly avew this object, no
sonsible mail can conceive. But wo are told
this "conservatism" will interfiro to prevent tho
danger which plainly tlireatoni tho Constitution!
Roly upon it, Whig “conscmtism” will save us
yet! Again wo liavo a spiceof arrant hypoerd*
cy 1 How is this "conservative spirit to operate 1
Whatgrouud is it to occupy 1 Is it to resist tlio
acquisition of territory 1 Bu: ail tho world knows
that territory will bo, wrist bgacquired from Mex
ico. Our rights demand it—justice requires it—
a largo majority of the Aimricau pooplo will in
sist upon it. The most violoxt of these uuti-ocipii-
sition men know the fact. Consequently their
"conserrof win,” so far as it would operate aa a pro-
vontivo of dunger, and thus a security of thoir
continued amity, amounts to the conservatism of
a man who should declare to another, " I will, I
must murder you iu cold blood by day-break to
morrow ; but, in tlio mouiitinte, will uid you, with
all my might, and in all haucsty, to nuike tho
world stand still and prevent the sun from rising.' 1
But there runs a still deeper vein of hypocra
cy than tliis. The truo ground of opposition to
tho acquisition of territory, is the idea that it
would tend to strengthen the institutions, mid
loud additional power to tho voice of the South.
Such is tlio ground assumed by Webster himself;
a ground which ho declares to bu perfectly satis-
liictory to "every respectable, fair-minded man he
had met at the South.” This is tho "conservatism”
which resisted tho annexation of Texas;—this is
tlio "conservatism” which proclaimed African shi
very " the tyranny of race over race upon this
continent; ”—tliis is the “conservatism” which
spoke from tlio lips of a Southern Senator, tho
significant language, that it was written in tlio
hook of luto that tlio number of free States would
increase, white tho number of slave States must
diminish ; the North might patiently abide the re
sult ; the South would vainly struggle against it;—
tliis is tlio "conservatism” which, throughout, gives
the substance to tlio North, tlio shadow to the
South;—and opposes "the diminution and injury”
of nothing olse save Southern interests, and "the
universal Whig party.” Is it not tlio motive which
gives character to human action f And if the
inetivc of resistance to tho acquisition of territory
bo identical with that which prompts to tho sup
port of the Wilmot Proviso, and \f the object be
the same, will the empty word “conservatism” be a
sufficient link to bind a Southern aud a Northern
Whig together ?
Gov. Towns* Inaugural Address.
Senators and Representatives:
Upon you devolves the duty of enacting such
laws, authorized by the Constitution, as will best
promote the interest, ami secure the prosperity of
tho people of the Stute; upon md will soon rest
the responsibility of seeing ull such enactments,
faithfully uud impartially executed.
Whether wo contemplate our geographical
position; tho variety and oxtont of our agricultu
ral products; tlio means of inter-cummuiiicntion—
natural and artificial; the value of our mines and
minerals, and the condition of tlio people morally
and intellectually, wo uro forcibly admonished,
that the interest us well as tho just expectation of
a common constituency, require that harmonious
concert of action in the discharge of our official
obligations, which will secure to them tho ad
vancement of a system of permanent benefit iu
reference to all tlioso important objects.
It will be my greatest pleasure to give efficient
aid to any system of intellectual and moral im
provement that may ho oqually accessible to ull
clusses of our citizens.
Your attention will doubtless, be directed to
the present condition of tho Western und Atlan
tic Rail Road. Whatever difference of opinion
may exist with regard to tho entorpriso, tho ad
vantage which may be anticipated to the State, or
tlio amount ftill necessary to its completion, all
will agree that the action of the present Legisla
ture should permanently settle tlio question of its
extension.
I do not propose to indulge in unmeaning
praise of the benefits that are to result to tho State
from this work. It speaks for itself. It stands
os a monument credituble to the enterprise and
persevering industry of our people, and will con
tinue under judicious management to dispense
its blessings not only to the • present generation,
lmt to those that are to come after ns. It rests
with you however, as the representatives of the
S ilo to determine, whether this greut work
lie prosecuted to completion us well us the
mode of the prosecution.
I can now but repeat, what I havo repeatedly
said on other occasions, tlmt I shall cheerfully co
operate with you in any action which you may iu
your wisdom think proper to take on this subject,
not inconsistent with tlio Constitution or burden
some to the people.
Public faith and private integrity, are the sure
foundation of our freo institutions. The one can
not exist without tho other. Thero must be no

Wlnle we havo interests peculiar to ourselves,
there aro others which wo possess in common
with the otiier States of the confederacy. During
the present year especially, we liavo seen the capi
tal of tho whole country actively employed, its
industry,throughout tho length und breadth of tho
land, abundantly rewarded. While famine and
itiisory have fallen with a heavy hand upon tlio
inhabitants of other countries, we have enjoyed a
season of unexampled prosperity. Whether this
is the result of that system oflibeval trade adopted
by the present administration iu thut part of tho
whole, is not now necessary to enquire. Pros
perity is every where scon and felt. It exists not
in theory merely, but hqnctunl, positive, palpable,
aud nothing short of rank folly would suggest or
desire a chunge in tliis respect. Butin the midst
of all tliis We ore reminded that war exists be
tween our Government and the Republic of
Mexico. This war wus not of our seeking, nor
is our Government responsible for its conse
quences. Forced upon us by the net of tho Re
public of Mexico, I have never entertained a
uouht tlmt justice to our own citizens and the
honor of the Nation imperiously demand its pro
secution with all the power uud energy of the
Nation.

of vital concern to the slave-holding States of the
Union; should tlio pernicious principles of the
Wilmot Proviso, receive the sanction of Congress,

Senators and Representatives, I tun prepared
to take tlio oath of office, not less sensible of my
own weakness than solemnly impressed with the
responsibility of the arduous duties thut await me.
With no past experience to aid and direct me, I

siro to promote the prosperity of tHe Stnto, whose
destiny, under Providence, is for a season entrust

The Legislature of the Territory of Wisconsin
met on tho 18tli ult. for the purpose of providing
for a Convention to form u Constitution for the
State of Wisconsin.
Whilst on tliis subject, wo will tuke the liberty
of suggesting that our Inferior Court might prob
ably at this time, subscribo for twenty or thirty
thotiBund dollars’ worth of this stock. Tho coun
ty, by tlio prudent management of its finances, is
clonrcdofdcbt; and it strikes us that ns tlio whole
pooplo of tho county uro immediately interested
in tlio project, thero could bo no reasonable ob
jection thusto appropriate a portion of tho com
mon fund. This may bo a now idea to some of
our citizens, but it is ono which wo trust will bo
duly considered by the guardians oftlio interest of
the county. If the stock should prove valuable,
and every thinking man so regards the prospect—
such an investment will in future relieve tlio peo
ple of a portion oftlio burden of thoir taxes.—
The prospect has never been so fair that tho
Road would ho built as at this time. If it is to be
done,let it now be done.
Routing on Savannah Riccr.—The Hamburg
Republican of tho 3d iust. says—We havo heard
it said frequently tlmt the Railroads would break
up tlio Boating business ou our Rivers. This
docs not seem to prove true, iu practice, for we
believe there has been ao time when tlio boating
business on Savannah River was more prosper

Lumnr, John Randolph, and Aiuory Sibley, (tho
latter a new boat) and sixteen Towboats. The
Steamboat Company of Georgia, havo tho Chat
ham, Cherokee and Thomas S. Metcalf, (tho lat
ter a new boat) sixteen Towboats and several
Lighters. There is a number of private bouts,
such as the Steamers Ivatihoc and H. L. Cook.—
These boats appear to bo all kept busy, und it
would seem from the additions recently made
that they aro doing well. Wo lonrn tlmt their up

The title Untiles—Col. McIntosh,
The following letters will bo read with inter
est, not only for tlio sketches which tlioy give of
the recent sanguinary engagements iu Mexico,
but for the particulars which they contain oftlio
death of Col. McIntosh. It is a little singular,
thut although twice severely wounded iu tliesu
last engagements, Col. M. died from tho effects
of his wound received utResncade la 1'ultnu.—
The letters are addressed to a member of hisfuiu-
ily:
Cirv ok Mkxico, Sept. 20 1847.
As an opportunity presented itself of .sending a
lotterto Vera Cruz through tlio English courier,
I avail myself of tliis change of giving yon a true
statement of the condition of Col. McIntosh, who
was severely wounded ill one oftlio bloody but
tles fought before the gates oftlio city.
On tho morning of tho 8th, Gen. Worth’s divi
sion (which the Col. wus iu) was ordered to
storm nnd carry certaiu fortified works of the en
emy near Chanultepec. At sunrise the division
made tho attack by cannon uud musketry. Soon
alter the ordor was given for tho division to
charge the enemy. The Colonel, “as on ull oth
er occasions, at tlio head of the regiment, was
foremost in the {[charge.” They got within fifty
yards oftlio enemy,s works, when a masked bat
tery (several pieces of caution) opened upon
them. Tho cannonading ami tho firing of mus
ketry were so severe on our troops, thut wo lmd
to lull hack, but soon after we rallied, and tho en
emy’s works were curried. In tliis second charge
tlio Colonel received a musket ball in tho right
leg, tlireo inches abovo the knee, which passed
through tlio muscles without injuring the hone.—
Before lie could recover himself, ho received a
second one iu the same extremity, two inches tie-
low tho knee, passing upwurds under the skin aud
integuments, and lodging in tho hip without
touching the bones.
I will give you u hasty sketch of the nrmv'xop-
reations around the city. Thu affairs of Monte
rey, Victoria, VeraCruz, Cerro Gordo, &c.,uro
only child’s work iu comparison to tho late but
tles insight ofthc city._ On the 18th oflustmonth
our urmy arrived within eight miles of the capital.
The enemy wus reported to be strongly forti
fied, and in inrge numbers, within one inHu of us.
Oil the morning of the 19th our divisioii(Twiggs)
was ordered to advance and engage the enemy.—
Wo had marched but u short distance, when wo
saw the Mexican army, drawn up in lino of but
tle, nt the base or a mountain. On tho right was
a largo body of cavalry ; next artillery; next in
fantry ; again artillery, &c. All thoir force a-
mounted to thirty-two thousand men. They wero
beautifully uniformed, uud presented an impos
ing and warlike appearance. We still advanced
to take up our position ; nnd before our line was
formed tlioy opened their heavy artillery upon us,
(twenty heavy pieces of cannon,) which felled
many of our gallant officers. At 3, p. m.’ our
batteries opeued upon them, and soon after mus
ketry and cannon ou both sides, until durkness
closed tho bloody work.
The morning opened on a still bloodier scene.
At the break of day our whole line churged tlmt
of the enemy. It wus oiie of the grandest and
most awful scenes the eye ever witnessed on the
battle-field. At the sound of the bugles, our
wholo line advanced with a firm step on this large
body of troops under u heavy fire of canister and
grime from twenty-two heavy pieces of cannon,
and several thousand muskets. Not aiimu of our
urmy faltered, but steadily advanced up to the
cannon’s mouth, and, when within fifty yards of
them, our musketry poured its deadly fire into
their ranks. At this instant their cannonading wus
more terrible than ever, every discharge thinning
our ranks ut an awful rate. Our troops continued
advancing; uud, wheu within thirty yards of them
our whole lino gave them one volley of musket
ry, and rushed on them with the bayonet, rending
the air with cheers. The Mexicans could not
withstand tlie impetus of our troops; they broke
their line, tied from their cannon, und retreated
to the plains. Their loss was tremendous. I
saw iu one place five hundred dead bodies, und
three times this number wounded and dying.
We took at this battle (Contreras) all of their ar
tillery and several thousand prisoners.
Our division immediately took up their line of
march in pursuit of the enemy; and when wo
had proceeded about two miles we caiuo upon
their loft wing, which was strongly fortified in a
castle. Hero they gave us another bloody fight.
Our division and worth's were hero hotly engag
ed for two hours. To give you an idea of tins
hard fight, six thousand muskets were fired every
minute for an hour and fifty minutes, besides a
constant cannonading from fifteen pieces of ar-
tillevy. Tho slaughter on both sides was awful.
Tho colonel wus hotly engaged iu this action, hut
lie came out safely. This battlo (called Churu-
busen) put to rout tho whole Mexican army,
which retreated to the city. Our loss in these two
battles was eleven hundred killed aud wounded;
that of the enemy tlireo or four times our num
ber, and several thousand prisoners. On tlio next
day an armistice was entered into (by Santa An
na) aud commissioners wore appointed to settle
all difficulties between tlio two republics. All
tilings went on smoothly for some duys,wheu Gen.
Scott was informed that Santa Anna had broken
war. Thirty eight of our most gallant officer*
woro killed and wounded and sevoii hundred of
our regular troops, iu this ono action, fought by
ono divwion (Worth’s) Tho enemy's loss in
this fight wus three thousand. This was a step to
be token before we could comraeheo on tho city.
On Sunday morning, tho 11th, our lurge bat
teries oponed updli tho famous castle of Cuapul-
topee,Where the old Montezumk flourished. This
strong castle was bombarded all day Without rout
ing tho Mexicans. On tho following morning,
the 12th* most of army in ono body charged the
works and carried tho castle nt the point of tlio
bayonet* _ The Mexicans rotrquted up the cause-
waysfoadingto the city, and iiiir army followed
Wo find soveral batteries td‘ take hi!fore we
could reach the gates of tho city. From 8 o’clock
in tlio morning until8 in tho ovening a constant
cannonading uud musketry was kopt up between
tlio two armies. Tho cansoway Irom Chupultu-
pcc to tho gates oftlio city; a distance of ono mile
and a half, was literally strewn with the doud und
dying, both Mexicans and Americana. At night
our troops gained the outskirts of tho city, prepa
ring to bombard it in the morning. During tlio
niglit Santa Anna with his urmy evacuuted the ci
ty, and in tlio morniug surrendered. When our
army was marching in, the leperos began to fire
upon our troops from the tops oftlio houses arid
out of the windows- They kept tliis up for so mo
time, and a total destruction of our army was
tliroutencd. It wus finally stopped by threaten
ing to blow up tho citv; Our loss oil these days
was very small—not more than 000. But all is
now quiot. Our little army, after so many strug-
f lcs, is safely ensconced in this magnificent city,
[be army of Mexico is completely routed und
dispersed—its chief, Santa Anna basiled.
Mexico, Sept. 27,1847.
It becomes nly painful duty to announce to you
tho meiuiicholy intelligence that Col. McIntosh is
no more.
But two days since, when every hope was en
tertained of Ins recovery from his wounds, a dis
ease made its upnearauco in his throat (infiammn-
tiou of the darnls,) which bullied ull surgical skill,
and lust night ut 12 o’clock it removed him from
this world.
lie was conscious of his approaching end, nnd
remained sensible without the power of sneaking
until tho ubove timo, when lie expired without u
struggle.
