From a correspondent of the Memphis Argus, written from Corinth, Mississippi, we make the following interesting ex tract I had been covered up on t,he side of a hill. Here several of the skulls and the feet of most of the bodies had been uncovered by the action of the elements, aud were lying around upon the ground, already bleached perfectly white, and of course rapidly crumbling to decay. The condition of these tumuli, I am told by gentlemen residing iu the vicinity who have examined every part of the field, is a fair specimen of all the rest. In one place (as I was informed by Capt. Mask, of this town, who, with Col. Folk, rode over the field with me) the bodies of two or three Confederates were placed by the side of a log (to save labor I suppose), and a little dirt thrown upon them, the dirt had all washed away, and there the skeletons, lie, wholly exposed and uucar- ed for, “ like the Leasts that perish !” A desciptiun of the Confederate dead on the battlefield of Corinth, will, 1 pre sume, answer for that of most of those who fell in the desperate and sanguinary battle of Shiloh ; and it is earnestly to be hoped that the public journals of the South will, at an early day, call attention to the subject, and urge the people to move in,the matter immediately, to the end that remedial measures may be adop ted, and the demands of common human ity satisfied. . All over those fields of carnage the boucs of brave men from every Southern State lie exposed to the- action of the elements, above ground, and ate hastening to decay. Especially interested in the subject, and in seeing that justice be done in the premises, are West Tennessee and North Mississippi, and Memphis and New Orleans, whose gallant sons perished here by the hundred and by the thousand, in a cause which, though now forever lost, they honestly believed involved the salvation of a great principle aud the de fence of their native land from unwarran ted invasion. Shall the memory of these brave and earnest men be thus dishonor ed ? Shall that memory be held so cheap by us, the survivors, that we may deny to them the poor tribute of decent burial, and a compendious monument, here at Corinth, to perpetuate at least their dar ing and their devotion to principle ?— Forbid it, Heaven ! The cause for which they struggled has fate; but they were none the less good men and true. The great, and tl^pn still open question of ultimate State soveignty, for which they had died, has been deci ded adversely by the supremest of all earthly couits, but they were none the less honest litigants, and are entitled to the respect of all honest men everywhere, however much differing with them in opinion. The renown of their courage and devotion, rivaling that of the bravest and truest knights of old, or that ol the men of King Leonidas at the “Pass” has gone throughout all lauds. " Where e’er heneath the sky of Heaven. The birds of fame hare flown.’’ Everywhere, except among those un appeasable cowards of our own land who commenced fighting after the war was over, these noble dead have been recog nized as gallant gentlemen who laid down their lives, like the true Anglo- Saxons of every &£ c ; far a principle. Their fame has passed into history.— Without deciding whether their cause was, ou the whole, right or erring, the intelligent, the good and the truthful ot all civilized countries have hailed them as heroes, and held up their noble quali ties to the admiration of all mankind.— Shall we be less respectful to our own brethren? Shall we neglect them?— Shall we permit their bones to bleach and rot above ground on all those battlefields ? Again I say, forbid it, Heaven ! Forbid it, every noble, every honorable impulse of a common humanity ! Cash on Hand. The following was to-day laid before the House of Representatives : Treasury Department, 1 March 17th, 1800. } Sir:—I have the honor to acknowl edge the receipt of a resolution from the House of Representatives, uuder date of 5th inst., requesting the “ Secretary of the Treasury to prepare a statement show ing the amount of money m>w in the Uni ted States Treasury, including all sums in the hands of Assistant Treasurers, Na tional Ranks and ail other depositories ; designating the amount in each separate ly, and report the same amount in each separtely, and report the same to this House.” I transmit herewith a communication from tlie Treasurer of the United States. .State thesuin o'f one thousand dollars, j dow molehills—with"the graves of Fedcr-, together with statements prepared by ■V Ain betbedoty of the Tux Collecor.Ll. ..d -posed leniaios of W ^if ^ u’in mediately upon the open in" ot an cuad. * - j <xtfiee by any person for the purpose of selling tickets in any such lottery cr en terpri.se, or of selling or offering sue tickets for sale iu any manner, to lev and collect said tax from any property of said person to be found. 12 There shall he levied a specific tax of twenty cents per gallon on everr gal- who stop here to examine the battle field, is a strong earthwork known as Fort Rob- iuett, immediately north of the Memphis and Charleston road, on the hill, just above the first “ cut ” on that road, about a quarter of a mile west of the town. Here occurred on the morning of the 4th of October, that desperate conflict, so well well known to immortal fame, in which Coi. Win. I*. Rogers, of the 2d Texas Regiment, commanded on that and the previous day a brigade of Texas and Ar kansas sharpsooters. Col. Rogers fell, fighting, within the fort, and is buried just without the ditch. Of all the Confederate dead on this field, Colonel Rogers is, I am told, the only- one who was properly buried ; that is to say, the only one who Tvas buried deep enough to prevent the rains from washing the dirt away and exposing his bones.— He, it is said, was buried under 'the im mediate supervision ot Gen. Rosecrans, who had a substantial paling placed around the grave, and a headboard, with this inscription : “ Col. Geo. Rogers, 2d Texas Regiment, Killed Oct. 4th, 1802.” As will be seen from this (which is an exact copy,) General Rosecrans made a mistake in the first or Ohritian name of Col. Rogers. It should read : “ Colonel William F. Rogers, 2d Texas,” See. It will be remembered by many of your readers that Gen. Rosecrans, in some official corespondence with Gens. Van Dorn and Friee, soon after the battle, spoke in most glowing terms of the gallantry of Col, Rogers, naming ^him, I believe, “ the bravest of the brave.” He also compli mented the entire division to which the knightly and peerless individual belonged —Maury’s—and said that “ the brave dead of so galiant a division should never want for fittiug burial atjiis bauds ”—or words to that effect. No doubt the Gen eral fuily- intended to earry out this prom ise, and probably issued orders according ly ; hut those orders were certainly never fittingly carried out, as will appear to any one who rides over the field—as has ap peared to hundreds and thousands who hav^riddeu over it since the close of the war.

Tea Months in Mexico — Interesting Statement of the Condition of the Country. What the Writer Saic. I shall now proceed to state some facts, well enough known in Mexico, but kept secret abroad; and I may add that all cases I describe form by no means excep tions, but occur in all parts of the country. bVhcn I arrived iu March, 1805, at Mazatlan, I found only that city, in the whole State of Sinaloa, in the hands of the French. -All the" west of the State was in' the hands of guerillas. In order to go into the interior I was obliged to smuggle myself, accompanied by two Friends, during the night from Mazatlan, and as soon as I passed through into the lines of the republicans, we were all cap tured and brought before General Ramon Corona. As soon as that gentleman got sight of our American passports we were set at liberty; he wished us farewell, and promised in no way to molest us in the future. We passed the two months of March and April in perfect peace, but in May the campaign was opened, and the French-Mcxicau General brought his hordes from Tepic. Liberal Magnanimity. In order to illustrate the contrast be tween the conduct of the Liberals and the French-Mexican commanders, I shall relate a little occurrence which happened a month before my arrival at A tale, a little port in the State of Sinaloa. From this little port one hundred French-Afri- cans sailed, accompanied by a few sailors from a French man of-war, and comman ded by a ship’s captain, and marched into the interior in order to capture the seat of government of the State—the city of Cullacan. Rut not' far from Al- tetos, the commander of the Liberal for ces received them, and with about one hundred men attacked them in the almost impassable mountain roads so impetu ously, that, after about forty of the French had been killed, about seventy had to surrender at discretion. Colonel Rube, who was well aware what would have been his fate if he had been cap tured, and tho French had been the cap- tors, treated the vanquished with the greatest attention ; divided everything he had with them; gave them horses in order to facilitate the toilsome traveling, and sent them to Chihuahua as captives. Vandalism of the French. At the time the above affair ended so disgracefully for the French, another col umn of four hundred started in a south- ernly direction, via Presidio, to the Villa de San Libertian Messillas, Rosario, and from there back to Mazatlan. That ex pedition resembled rather the desolating march of the Goths and Vandals than that of a civilized army. In Presidio, without the necessity of firing a single shot, the greater part of the houses of one class were burned down, while the other class were saved by having above them the American and English flags.— In San Libertian the Liberal troops under General Corona made some resistance, and when they were conquered and compelled to retire, the flourishing little village was reduced to ashes. Two thousand people were driven into the mountains without food or shelter, and every cow, calf, hog, or chicken which could not be taken along was killed; even the dogs were not spared. More than four thousand people live in the State or Sinaloa to day like cattle in the woods, without any other food than half-ripe fruits, which grow wild in the woods; the corn-fields have been destroyed, the fences torn down, and many poor women and children have per ished through misery in the woods. Horrid Atrocities by the Invaders. In the first week of May last the Im perial General, Lozado, moved from Tepic with one thousand five hundred men, via San Jago to the State of Jalisco. He found the first resistance near Acaponeta, where Frcfeeto Guzina, with his Indians, tried to hinder him in his advance. Rut resistance. was in vain. When Lozado arrived at Acaponeta he gave the sign for pillage. The most abominable acts were committed by a dissolute soldatcska, the cruelty of which cannot be conceived by the wildest imagination. I do- not intend to go into specialities of the inva sion of Mexico, and am, therefore, oblig ed to pass over details of extreme cruelties. I will only remark that Acaponeta was destroyed, burned down, and its inhabi tants driven into the mountains, without food or shelter, glad to have escap:d with their lives. From Acaponeta the destoy- ing hordes moved to Escumape, where j the same spectacle was enacted, only in,a : more cruel and terrible manner; because , here some earnest resistance was made, J and the little village, with its three thous-; and inhabitants, has been known as the seat of Democratic principles. On the 10th of 3Iay, Lozado arrived at Rosario. Here he met with a column of the French, and both united, whipped Corona near Mataian, took this village, as also Coco- tota, destroyed the villages, farm-houses, fences and everything, and the inhabi- j tants who had not been cut down, and j had not escaped, were brought as captives j to Rosario. Infamous Treachery of a 'French Com-1 mander. 1 In Rosario began a reign of terror and , death. After the defeat of Corona, at j Mazatlan, he escaped with some hundred j men into the mountains. Lozado issued a proclamation promising an amnesty to. all who should voluntarily lay down ilieir j arms and lake the oath ot allegiance to- the Empire. Many Mexicans, who con sidered all further resistance useless, and who arc without any means whatever to continue the war, appeared at Rosario, counting upon the conditions of tho proc lamation, to lay down their arms and take the oath for the Empire. They came with honest intentions. I have known and spoken with many of them. All were agreed that if they would be suffer ed to till their soil, and follow their occu pations in peace, they would gladly accom modate themselves to the new order of things, and give up all further resistance. Rut we .shall see how Lozado kept his written proclamation. To illustrate what happened, I will giye here a single in stance out of fifty similar ones: Dr. Fran cisco Rimienta never carried any arms himself, but out of old friendship for Corona, could not refuse to officiate as his private secretary. He himself told me of his having speken to Corona, and that he had explained to him the useless- ness of any further resistance. Resides, he said, he had a wife with four little children, who would starve without his taking care of them, and, therefore, he had come to take advantage of the proc lamation. He was brought before Lozado, who handed to him his papers of pardon and release. In the evening he left Ro sario in order to stay at Chametle with his family. The same night a creature of Lozado, by the name o£ Maurieio Cas taneda, went to Dr. Rimienta, who was torn from the side of his wife, in spite of the prayers and cries ot four little chil dren, and shot. This tiger remained till morning with his victim, and then threat ened with sure death anybody who should dare to bury the corpse, leaving, in order to commit similar crimes at some other place. Indiscriminate Butchery of the People. I repeat again, all these things happen ed before my own eyes. On the night of June 1st, last, I counted fourteen victims who were led past my window to be brought to the Oampo Santo (cemetery) to be shot and their corpses to be throwu upon the road. In and around Rosario, at the report of a rifle, the hogs came run ning as a signal for getting hold of a corpse. I have seen a man by the name of Fcrez well in the evening, and the fol lowing day lying before my door-half de voured by the hogs ; and a woman, under seal of secrecy, has told me that she had seen how Ferez was torn by four soldiers from his house, stabbed with their bayo nets and afterwards thown into the street. On the 18th of June, twenty-two Liberals, under the leadership of Correa, were sur rounded by a French party, and though the Mexicans laid down their arms aud made no attempt to run away, they were all stabbed with bayonets and given over to the hogs. When it is stated that these twenty-two men were on their way to Rosario to take advantage of the procla mation of amnesty, the deed appears the more, horrible. Devastation by the Invaders. At that time I had to make a trip from Mazatian to Durango. This section was formerly one of the most prosperous in Mexico, and the whole way was lined with habitations and fences. Rut great God 1 what a sight it presented in the month of July ! Heaps of ashes instead of houses; skeletons of men and beasts around the ashes; weeds and parasytical plants covered the open fields; no fence, no root, no man. From San 31arcus to Saragossa and 3Iasatcs, one single desert, one cemetry. More than 5,000 people used to live in these districts, and to-day not a single soul is to be found—all driv en away from their habitations, and their fields destroyed and wasted. Heaven knows what has become of these people, but I saw some of them in the woods, who tell heartbreaking stories of their Bufferings. Mutual Distrust and Hatred. Returning to 3Iazatlan, I had an oppor. tunity to move in every class of society- 3Iy linguistic abilitidb and my social posi tion afforded me a chance to be on a con fidential footing with many of the best people. I have often taken my breakfast with French officers, who openly and sincerely confessed their regret at the un natural state of the country, and assured me they should consider themselves very happy at being recalled from 3Iexico; not because they had the moral convic tion that they would he able to appease the country. I frequented the best fami lies, and remarked with astonishment that no French officer was admitted into re spectable society. I found the antipathy against the French amongst ail classes, but with the fair sex the feeling and . the hatred were the most bitter. Tne nick name Chinaho, which the French call the Mexicans, is accepted with pride by the latter; but woe to the Frenchman who is found alone upon an isolated road. The Tyranny Intolerable. I would mention the name of five of the largest houses among the merchants, if-I did not fear to injure them, which complain bitterly of the inactivity of the French, of the exertion of the Imperial officers, and other kinds of oppression.— I couid mention hundreds of the best men in Mexico who acknowledge the Imperial government, who are longing for an inter vention of the United States, even with) the loss of independence.
