LtP* Wo ore indebted to our friends of the Sa
vannah Republican for tho Telegraphic ttows of
tho proceedings of Congress in advance of the
mail, which we publish this morning.
Ij?‘ Wo welcome tho Charleston Evening

they are received by tho Western mail, by which
route other Northern papers are two often re
ceived.
the following order, via: Twiggs, Quitman,
Worth attd Pillow. In apprnnehing the city of
Mexico, by tho main highway, you go directly
t n to the height of Kl Poitou,which is a strong po-
eition uud excessively fortified. Before leaving
Puebla it had buen considered whether the main
road could not lie avoided, and El Ponon turned,
by passing around to tho south and left of lakes
Chaleo and Joehimiloo. Tho engineer ollioer,
serving immediately at general hoad-ipiarters,
hud questioned a largo lumber of persons (in
cluding spies and agents, sent specially to exam
ine tbo route,! mid tho mass of lestiiuoiiv win
entire to the boggy, mucky and perfectly im
practicable character for wagons ami artillery of
the road leading in that direction. It was there
fore in contemplation to ^ turn El Ponon, by
forcing tho onemy’s lilies*at Mcxiettlzingn, al
though the ground was diilicult, and the batte
ries known to ho numerous. This route you
will observe, is to the north and right of those
lakes. The roeoitnoisntices of the engineers
were consequently directed to this end. In tho
meantime, Gen. Worth,"whose division Imd been
left at Chaleo, (while Uon. Scott, with Twiggs’
division, had gone on to Ayotla,) sunt Col. Dun
can, with a strong party, to examine tho denounc
ed route. Col. I). found it just tho reverse of
what U hud been pronounced to he; it was firm,
rocky, and quite practicable, requiring, to ho
sure, h little labor here and there. Clou. Wortii
instantly sout Col. Duncan with this information
to Gen. Scott, and urged the movement of the
whole army to the left of Lake Chaleo. This re
commendation iustantly prevailed. Tho direct
attack was abandoned, ami tho next morning the
whole army was iu motion. Worth’s division iu
the rear, (now by tho change of the tinu of ope
rations become the front,) look tho lead, mid the
whole mass filed to the left of tho lakes to Sail
Augustin, which is on the great Acapulco high
way to tho city of Mexico, ami about nine miles
from it. This is the history of the strategy of the
business.
Wo arrived nt San Augustin on tho evening of
tho I7lh. The lirst position of tho enemy was at
Sail Antonio,two ami a half miles elfin advance,
General Wurth sent an engineer ollicer tho next
morning to recomioilur, Coot. Tnoriitou, of tho
dragoons, escorting him. I in wont to about lOUtl
yards of the enemy’s battery, leaving the com
pany some Itumired yards iu the roar. When
the engincur ollicer begun to examine tho buttery
with Ills spy glass, n gnu was tired at him. Tim
ball pussiug over him. struck Capt. Thornton
from Ills horse, tearing away his whole breast and
ribs. Poor fellow 1 lie had not ten days to livcftiu
was so feeble that lie could scarcely sit ill Ills sad
dle. Physicians and friends hail remonstrated
against his going out, hut ho had, (doubt not,
made up his mind that nothing hut death itself
should take him from his saddle. Ho had huuii
troubled and postered in many ways, but ho was
as purn and honorable a matt as ever lived. This
recounnissuuco resulted ill tlm intelligence that
the position of Sun Antonio could he turned by
its right or left, Another reeonnoisaiieo was di
rected by Gen. Scott, to uncertain whether, by
branching oft*at Sail Augustin ami tuhitiir a wider
circuit to our left, we could not gain the Tuciihiiyn
road and turn all tlm enemy’s works. The engi
neer ollicer went about u league on this road,
where lie camu upon a ravine octmnicd by tho
enemy iu force outlie opposite side. Tlm ground
was found to he rough ami broken beyond de
scription, still practicable for infantry, and with
labor doubtless could he iiiado so for cavalry and
artillery. Accordingly this was decided upon as
tie route on which the army was to move. On
tho morning of the IDth, working parties were
pushed forward to repair or rather make the road.
Pillow's division, supported by Twiggs', were to
dispossess tho enemy of the ravine Indore men
tioned. Upon trial’it was found that the enemy
could not ho brushed away, lie was strongly for-
lifted, III great force, with upwards of ‘JO pieces
of artillery. A battle had therefore to ho fought,
before the road could he cleared. As our troop-i
approached the position, the enemy opened a ills-
taut cannonade, which he kept up from ouo or
two o'clock until dark. The mountain howitzers
and Magruder’s battery were posted as counter
batteries, hut as the enemy’s guns were 13-potiu-
ors,tM-poumlcrs, and such like, behind parapets,
or at any rate iu commanding positions, you can
readily imagine who got the worst of it. When
will such follies cease!
Our troops took up positions during the night
for the uttack of the enemy’s lines next morning,
which they did iu haudsomu style, ami with com
plete success, killing many hundreds, taking many
prisoners, upwards of twenty pieces of camion,
amongst winch were those taken from Genera!
Taylor at Buena Vista, small arms without num
ber, and a great abundance of cannon ami am
munition, which wo were much ill need of. A-
inong the prisoners were several ollicers of rank,
including the lute acting President, (ieu. Salas,
the author of tliut infamous papo , exhorting tho
guerrillas to “wage war without pity." In the
meantime, Worth’s division began operations on
UiuilOtii around San Antonin, over the route that
had been twice rceotmoitcrod by the engineer of
ficer, who led Smith’s light battalion ami Clarke’s
brigade around this position. As soon as the on.
cuiy discovered our troops iu motion ho began to
abandon his works, and to retreat on the main
road to tho city—our troops pushing on with ra
pidity, reached the road iu lime to pierce the re.
treating column uhuut its centre, killing undenp-
luring some, and dispersing the rest iu all direc
tions. Tho remainder of the division hurried up
through the village uud joined Clark’s brigade.—
Tho whole division pressed on along the highway
iu hot pursuit of the retreating enemy up to
tiie village of Churiilmsco, where our troops
came across another strongly entrenched position.
These defences consisted of it regular bastion
field-work, with wot ditches. It served ns a
bridge head,and was thrown across the road; to
its right ami somewhat iu advance of it, is a strong
stone church, with u field-work iu front. Tho
Hanks of llio lield work were connected with a
high stone wall, which enclosed, the church. To
the rear of the church and bridge head there is u
deep wet ditch running perpendicularly to the
road, ami extending Jar nil' to the eiiemyV left,
and therefore parallel to our front; behind this
d.teh Was an infantry line, stretching from right to
left quite a mile long. When Worth’s division
came within reach of tlm bridge head, it was
formed outlie right (our right) of the road, and
moved forward through tho dciiso corn-fields, iu
front of the enemy's lines. The infantry
troops behind the diteh before mentioned suoii
gave way and Hud to their entrenchments. As
our troops approached the enemy’s untreueli-
incuts, the must ferritic lire that you can possibly
imagine was opened upon them Smiicc it to
say, dial tho bridge-head was forced, ami tiie en
emy’s left completely routed.
Twiggs and Shields' troops, uml hoiiiq of
Pillow’s approached the right of tlm en
emy’s lines, whore they nufteml severely, frank
Taylor's battery was brought up to counter bat
ter dm Held work, and most gallantly served, hut
being directly opposed to heavier metal, was cut
to pieces. Duncan’s battery was established iu n
position which enfiladed or took the enemy’s
works jn reverse; it did great execution,and not
lining expos'd to the. enemy’s heavy guns, suf
fered hut little. Our loss was severe—probably
it will exceed a thousand killed and Wounded.—
Tim loss of tlm enemy iu killed and wounded, is
much greater than ours, hut eauiiul he accurately
estimated. AVo have 8,#0*1 prisoners several
hundred of whom are ollicers of all grades, from
generals to lieutenant^. Then* is no obstacle to

We invite the attention of our renders to tho
note of Rev. T. C. Henning, Agent of tho Amer

Lnwa ngolnsl Usury.
Among the various kinds of atili-ropuhlican
legislation which must fall before tho progressive
spirit of tho timed, ntny ho classed tho laws
•gainst usury. That government is tho lYeost
which governs (lie least—^which interferon tho
luust in tho social or business relations of life—
nnd certainly a law which provents one man
ftoin taking, and forbids another iYmn giving,
over a certain amount of interest for tho usu of
money, is a direct Interference with the private
business relations of society, mid has been pro
ductive, in our opinion, of vastly inoro Injury
than good.
Tho good designed to bo effected by tlm law
is to prevent usury, in other words, extortion.—
What is usury T Ills on extravagant price for
tho iiso of iiinuoy. But Um value of all things
is liable to vary with tho chuugo of circumstances;
and tho vatuo of money, tho representative of
uli kinds of properly, is evidently subject to con
tinued ftuctiintion. A rate of interest which
might be exorbitant nt one time, becomes most
liberal at another, and can no longer ho charac
terized as usurious. But we arguo that no rate
of interest is unjust, or exorbitant, or usurious,
which tho dituutipu of the borrower either war
rants or compels him to give. If A. is of opin
ion that he can make use of a thousand dollars
in such a way as to r alizo from its immediate
uso 15 or 80 per cent, call it be considered
oppressive In B. if ho should charge A. ten
per cent interest on that amount l If

get it, and if tho circumstances of C. aro so
greatly involved as to make it hazardous to lend
Idm tiiu amount ho may want, no capitalist w*“
lie disposed to supply him, unless lie will agree
to pay a rate of interest commensurate with the
risk to bo rim. But the law will not allow tho
lender to take more than 7 percent? this will not
pay for the risk of tho entire loss of capital and in
terest ? C. tails in procuring the money hu need;
uud is mint'd. Tims the law, instead of prevent
ing, is productive of oppression; and while it
attempting to protect the borrower from tiie len
der, injures both.
Money is properly, and all property is worth
what it will bring in market. As well might the
law declare that nothing over a certain amount
should.hu charged for u pound of cotton, or
bushel of corn, ora hor.so, or any other article
property, as to restrict the lender of money to
perct interest, lit the easuoflho uece.-s tries nflifo.
that enactment would certainly hu more immune
iu principle, than tho law against usury, which
should tlx their pricu at a certain amount, so as
to save the ueody from extortion. Thu ruinous
oHeels, however, ofstiuh a law aro apparent at
glance; while those of tlio usury laws, though
equally ruinous and oppressive, ure in u incus-
uro concealed J’rom thu eye.
There might he more of jostlco in tho laws
against usury could they secure for tliu loaner of
money a fixed rate of interest at all times; that is
to say, if, while they forbid the louder from taking
moro than 7 per cent to day, when money is
worth JO pur cent, they could compel thu bor
rower to give thu sumu to-morrow, when money
may hu worth only ft per cent. Tlioro would bo
soiiiu equality ill this, and the legislature might hu
enabled to strike upon ati average interest which
would bo just to both parties, But it is obvious
that tins cannot hu done. And yet there is no
diftercitcu ili principle between tho two cases.—
If it he unjust and oppressive for tho borrower
to he compelled to giro JO pur cent to-day, it will
hu equally unjust and oppressive for the lender
to hu compelled to taka ft per cunt to-morrow—
tho legislature having declared that motley is
worth 7 per coni. But the situation of thu par
ties, ami the comparative condition of the mar
ket, ami the relative value of property and mo
ney cannot hu controlled by tho Legislature.—
While they can prevent one mail from lending
beyond ucortaiu amount of interest, they cannot
force another to give thu sumo amount; and tlm
law is consequently unequal, unjust, uud anti-
Republican.
It is unequal in another respect. Tho penalty
for its breach lulls wholly upon one of the parties
concerned iu its violation: nay, enures to his bon-
uiit. Generally thu borrower is thu man who
suggests the violation of the law; it is violated at
his iustmico, ami for his advantage; yet hu is after
wards permitted to profit by his own wrong nt
tho moment that hu is breaking a solemn moral
obligation.
It is a law which drives mtieh honest capital
out of market, and which by thu scheming
nnd corrupt can hu violated with impunity. It is
in every way immoral in its tendency. Tho
following passage, rucommoiidiiig its repeal iu
Virginia, is from a recent message of thu Govern
or of that State.

American (.’otonlzuiion Society,
Messrs. Editors : It is tho intention of this So
ciety to .<'oud a vessel from Savannah, Georgia,
direct to Monrovia, in Africa, uhuut the 1st of
April next, l*radial, .Sixty Emigrant h shall he
willing to go at that time.
Tho prospects of Liberia wero never po pros
perous as at present, and I doubt not that llio
foundation of a vast Republic lias been iaid on tho
Western coast of Africa. The Guardians of all
fruo persons of color in Georgia, South Carol!-
0tu, Florida uud other Southern States, and all
others interested iu this benevolent enterprise,
may obtain all necessary information by address
ing thu utulursigticd nt Savannah, Georgia.
THOS. C. HENNING, Agent.
13/-* Papers iu Georgia, South Carolina, and
Florida, friendly to this noble enterprise, will
pluusu copy the above.
Our usury laws arc, iu my judgment, immoral
in their tendency, and certainly injurious to tlm
business interest of society, ami ought therefore
to bo rupuuled. Laws cannot pruvuut dealings
in usury, ns is attested hy universal experience.
The needy will borrow; the usurious will lend;
ami tho certain olleets of nttuelihig pains ami pen
alties to such transactions, aro to swell thu prem
ium paid hy thu borrower, and to tempt him
to become a dishonest mail.
Why should 11 price ho fixed by law on mnnoy?
It is property, precisely ns is a’halo of cotton or
a hogshead of sugar, aud Jluctiiatu* as they do iu
value.
About two years ago, money was furnished by
tlm Bank of England nt about ft percent, ana
she was. hy the Inst advices, asking ami receiving
for it H per cent, per annum. A short time since
money was abundant iu New York, Imt now it is
searee, and good paper can lie loci iu tho street
ut u discount of J.J per cent per month. In fact,
money is more sensitive and lliictmifitig than
any other descriptions of properly, aud is the last
to which 11 prieu should he ulfixcd’liy law. Inter
est is a compound of two ingredients, the incon
venience of parting with a given sum of mnnov,
and tho hazard of losing it altogether.. If the
law prescribe thu rate of ft per cent, as the un
changeable price for money, continually lluctun-
ting as it is, it is manifest that this rate will lie fre
quently below the market value, and thu cause-
qiicucu must lie that a large portion of the inonoy
capital of thn conitmiuiiy. iu obedience to law,
rutiros from business, wlii e that which remains,
seeks iu high premiums a business profit its well
as indemnity Ibr Uiu hazard created bylaw. Iu
this view the law is plainly injurious,and prodn-
of mischief it is
man an amoiiut c
sditlicut to estimate.
Tutor Goodrich,—-Tho New Haven Courier
of Monday, says: “This gentleman was 110 better
on .Sunday evening. Ho lies in an insensible
state, from which ho is sometimes partially a-
ronsed by extraneous oftbrts, hut immediately re
lapses into his former condition.’*
n?** Judge Joel Jones, of I’hihidulphin, elected
President of Girard College, lots resigned his seat
on llio bench of the district court, mid assumed

JS4>,000 DEATHS BY CONSUMPTION
Would perhaps ho a small estimate for tho rav
ages of this dreadful disease iu a single year; than
add tho fearful catalogue of those cut oil’by In-
tlmnitmtion of the Lungs, Hemorrhage, Asthma,
Coughs, fiilliteuzn, Bronchitis, ami other diseas
es of the Lungs ami Liver, and the list would pre
sent an appalling proof of the fatality of these
two classes of diseases. But it is important to
know that Hourly all of this dread waste of hu
man life might have been prevented hy a timely
use of Dr. Sicaytie's Compound Syrup of Wil'd
Chtrru.
This 1
liismedicinn has now boon before the public
some eight years, ami is the original preparation
from tin* Wild Cherry Tree. I'm reputation as u
remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis, uud con
sumption of thu lungs, based entirely upon its in
trinsic merits, owes hut little to inflated newspa
per pulls. Tlioso who givu it a trial, being hone-
fitted hy it, recommend it to their neighbors, ami
thus gradually aud surely has it gained mi envi
able rcputioii and worked its way into general
use. One bottle never fails to euro u recent
cough or cold, while with strict attentions to the
directions that accompany each bottle, its use in
pulmonary diseases of long standing and of llio
most alarming character, has always given rulief,
uud iu very many instances has ulluctud complete
and permanent cures.
Beware of tho worthless “Balsams,” “Bitters,”
“Syrups,” Sic. as they contain nuiiu of the vir
tues el the original nreparatiou.
Tho (original ami only) genuine article is pre
pared hy Dr. 8 way no, comer of Eighth and Race
streets, Philadelphia, aud for sale hy agents in all
parts of tho United Slates, aud some parts of Eu-
