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 quiries ofthc Chief Engineer of tiie\Vestcrn aud Atlantic Road, received the members of the Sen- ute in their Hull, and proceeded to the election of tho following officers: For Judge of the Supreme Court for six years :— Judgo E. A. Nisbet, the present incumbent, and Col. Henry G. Lamar wero announced us candidates. The result of the 1st ballot wus us follows: Nisbet 93—Lamar 79—Blanks 2. So Judge Nisbet was duly re-elccled to this distin guished seat. Judge YVornor’s term will expire two years hence. Judge Lumpkin's four years hence. For Judge of the Superior Courts for the South- Western District:—lion. Lott Warren and Da vid Kidoo (ol'Ruiidolph) were announced as can didates. 1st Ballot—Warren, 91 Kidoo, 82 Blank, 2 For Judge of tho Coweta District : lion. Ed. Y. Hill, 100 Hon.

Resolved, That tho Chief Enginoor report 1 ' to this House what contracts liavo been made for work ou tho Western and Atlantic Rail Road sinco December, 1843; what by private contract, with whom und at whut price } what by public contract, wills whom, mid at what price, auu how notice was given of the public lettings. 3rd. Resolved, That tho Cliiof Enginoor re port to tills House, how many persons are em ployed on the Road, iu what capacity, and at what salary or wages. 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 announced as candidates.

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. 177 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* o hired: what has boon the cost of repairs of road 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 repudiation by Georgia. The credit of the Stute must be maintained, its honor viudieuted, und if from uny cause, the one has been made to liui- S uisli ortho other to blush, let it be your patriotic uty by tho wisdom of your measures to elevate the standard of both beyond the reueli of possible contingencies. 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. Thu Hail Hoad. Tho Columbus Enquirer of the 2d Inst, says t~ Our follow-citizens appear to. bo in curnosta- bout accomplishing the work oflntornal Im provement which is to connect us with tho At lantic and tho Cherokee country. On Suturduy ovening at the call of tho Mayor, a large publio meeting assembled ut tho Court House, and hav ing called Dr. Robert A. Ware to tlio Chair, pro- ceedotl to tlio business of tho evoning. Tho meeting was addressed by Col. John Banks,May or Williams, M. Torrance, Gen. MoDougald and L. B. Moody, and Resolnffons adopted request ing tho City Council to subscribe for Fifteen Hundred Shares in Stock of the Muscogee Rail Road Company; payable in bonds of tlio city, re deemable after 1852, ut annual* interest of 7 per cent por annum. At a meeting of Council on yesterday, a resolution was passed, in complianco with tho ruquost of tho public meeting, instruct ing a committee consisting of live Mayor and five Aldermen, to report to Council on to-day an or- dituuice, designating the ways and means most appropriate to raise tlio fuuds and redeem tho is- Intinmtely connected with the war. is a question of vital concern to the slave-holding States of the Union; should tlio pernicious principles of the Wilmot Proviso, receive the sanction of Congress, uml become the fixed policy of the Federal Govern ment in reference to its territory hereafter to bo acquired, it would constitute a case of Federal usurpation too intolerable for endurance. An act •so repugnant to tho Constitution, destructive of our rights, ami dishonorable to Georgia na one of tlio parties to file Federal Compact, should re ceive us I doubt not it would, tho united resis tance of every truo hearted friend to tlio Stnto. 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 bring to the task, an earnest wish, and sincere do- siro to promote the prosperity of tHe Stnto, whose destiny, under Providence, is for a season entrust ed to our care. 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 ous. Tlio Iron Steamboat Company has the 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 freights have been larger this fall than they hail been before for many years.” Prom* tlio New York Courier and Enquirer. 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.
