The Picayurtf of the 21th gives us the only intel
ligence we hare recently received from Mexico, which
Nve trust will he of sufficient interest to lay before our
readers :
The steamship James L. Day, Copi. O’Grndy, ar
rived at a lste hour last night from Vera Cruz, having
failed thence on the 19th inst., with a number of invalid
poliliers. Two died on the passage, viz: Richard
Beomisn, 12th infantry, on the 10th inat., and Win.
Miller, of company D, Voltigeura, on the 23.1.
There had been no later arrival direct from the city

Headquarters—M kxk an Army.
I have taken possession of this city’ with the army un

the several points fortified, and occupied by your Excel
lency, and also with the view ©f liberating its inhabi
tants Irmn the domination of the forces of the United
States from whom they have already suffered too much.
But More commencing any operations of a military
character, l have considered it my duty to act in obe
dience to the impulses of humanity, and consequently
request that your Excellency will please evacuate this
■within a certain and peremtory space of time, it being
known to yen at the same time that you can depart with
all die honors ot war, either to forma junction with
<Jen. Scott, or to the forces of your country at Perote,
according as it best suits your pleasure. Hut should
this courteous request of mine be unheeded by your
then, although to me it is a painful alterna
tive,! shall commence to assault your positions, the
consequences of which act will be felt by your garrison,
because there exists in the vicinity of your Excellency,
an army of 8,000 men who are determined that the
rights of their nation shall be maintained and respected.

September 25, 1847. $
To his Excellency, D. Antonio Lopet de Santa Anna,
General in-Chief of the Mexican Army in front of
the city :
~ Sir— l have the honor of receiving, at 2 o’clock this
afternoon, your Excellency’s letter of this date. In it
you were pleased to notify me of the fact that you had
taken possesion of this city, for the purpose, as you de
clare, of restoring to the full enjoyment of their liberty
its citizens who have hitherto suffered so much from the
U. S. army. You likewise were pleased to offer cer
tain stipulations to this garrison, provided that it would,
within u fixed time, abandon the point of defence which
it now occupies. With regard to the assertion of your
Excellency, which implies that the inhabitants of Pue
bla have been maltreated by the U. S. troops, I wholly
deny it. On the contrary, I assure you that the property
and privileges of all have been maintained, and respect
ed with the greatest scrupulousness, indeed, so much so
has it been done, that its parallel cannot be found in the
annals of war. And I would most willingly leave it to
the moat intelligent and impartial portion of the popula
tion of the city to decide, from which of the two con
tending parties they have received the most injury and
molestation ; whether it is from their own countrymen
or the troops of the United States.
\V idi regard to that particular part of your Excel
lency s letter which demands the surrender, within a
fixed lime, of all the positions now oc -ipied by the
troops under my command,! can only say in reply, that
having been honored with the duty of guarding and
protecting them, it is equally my greatest wish and par
amount obligation to preserve them to the last ; and I
am fully satisfied that I shall be able to defend them
successfully, isasmuch as I have at my disposal all the
resources essential to its full and complete accomplish
ment.
W ith considerations in the highest degree respectful,
I have the honor to be your Excellency’s most obedient
aervam, THOMAS CHILDS,CoI. U. S. Army,

The Arco Iris of the 13th inst. furnishes interesting
interesting news from Plubla, which is translated to ur
hands by \he Genius of Liberty. It is a fitting sequel
to the above correspondence :
Plubla, 2Sth. —At 5 o’clock on the evening of yes
terday the points of San Juan de Dios, Santa Rosa and
Santa Monica commenced a heavy cannonade upon
the American works. The latter immediately began to
throw cannon shot, bombs and grenades into the centre
of the city, which suffered iu consequence some consid
erable injury.
Don Manno del Rio, whilst standing with his wife on
the back balcony of his house, was struck dead by a
cannonball. At about 8 o’clook P. M. the cannonade
ceased, but commenced again at the dawn ol the follow
ing day.
Puebla, 29th.—By order of Santa Anna a body of
troops was yesterday posted in the Convent of Santa
Teresa, at one of the comers of which a breastwork or
cotton bales were erected. Four hundred cotton bales
have already been demanded of the house of Velasco
for the defence ol the city. To prevent the completion j
©1 this work the Americans from the fort of San Jose
kept up a continual fire upon the workmen, which, being
■toutl) returned by the Mexicans, the discharge of bombs
•nd grenades from the American lines greatly increas
ed.
After canonading and skirniisliing for
two or three days, without any material injury to either
party, Santa Anna retired from Peubla with his forces.
A Mexican paper from Jalapa says:—
I On the Ist of the present month Gen. Santa Anna, at
lllie head of2ooo cavalry and infantry and three pieces of
puilery, sallied out of Puebla, intending to attack th<
ILii. ricun train which left Jalapa on the Ist inst., ami

►yahualeo the designs of the commander-in-chief of
P** Mexican forces were wholly frustrated, all his men,
►‘th the exception of 130 hussars of his personal guard,
paving pronounced against him. As an excuse lor this
■weeding, the officers and privates aliedged that they
g * 11 Driuly convinced that their further continuance at

mr.- that den. Patteraon has in view an expedition
against some Slate not hitherto invaded -hy American
arms, instead of reinforcing General Scott.
1 lie same |mper has some speculnt ons upon the pro

ed for peace upon any terms. We have little laith in
this.
Tile Genius of Liberty of the sth inst , gives the fol
lowing account ol an expedition against the guerrillas
Guerrilla j'.xprdition. — The guerrilla, have of late
become so truohlesome nud daring, and have gathered
in such swarms in the chapparral and other places of
ttmbusc in the vicinity of this city, that even the Mexi
can l.trmrrs would not venture in to supply our market
111 consequence of this slate of affairs, Capt. Truett with
200 mounted volunteers, and Copt. Armstrong with 180,
wen! out on the morning of the 13th inst., by order of
Maj. Gen. Patterson, to scour the country and rid it of
these marauding robbers, who under the guise ofpatrio
ism, infest it to the detriment of the Mexicans as well
a, the Americans. According to the orders of Maj.
Gen. Patteraon, Capt. Truett was to proceed to the
right ot the city in u north westerly direction until he
struck the ( Uizalia road, which he was to follow turning
to t ie left, while Capt. Armstrong was to proceed to
left of the city in n smith westerly direction until struck
the same rood, which he was to iollow turning to the
right. Tlie two detachments were to wore to march
with hankers until they met, and it will be seen, by
■lie arrangement, that any party, fleeing from cither ol
them would run a risk oi being encounted hy tlie other.
Capt. Truett marced by Santa Fe and Matagordera,
lie found in various pluces large quantities of arms and
ammunition whieli he either destroyed or carried uway,
anil succeeded in killing six guerriileros. Capt. Arm- ‘
strong went to Medelin, where there were a great num
ber ol guerriileros, hut they nil made their escape, with
the exception of one, who was killed. Mere he found a
large lot of arms and ammunition, with some oi the
clothing of the American soldiers, of wltich he destoyed
the greater part and carried the remainder away. He
remainded at Medelin all night, re-crossed the river
early next morning, and marched in tlie direction of the
Orizaba road. He proceeded, however, but a short dis
tance iu that direction when he came across the trial of
a number ol shod horses, he immediately turned in the
direction of the trial, and following the tracks, soon ar
rived at a number oi ranchos which were all crowded
with guerriileros. The volunteers charged upon them
with their usual impetuosity, driving them away from
every rancho with much slaughter. Six bodies were
counted lying dead ill one yard. In these ranchos were
ound arms in abundance, among which were those
worn by the army and navy officers of the United States,
but mostly Mexican sabres and British muskets. Capts
I ruett and Armstrong returned yesterday, and the
manner in which they conducted the expedition was
highly approved of by Maj. Gen. Patterson.
We have received the above information from an un
questionable source and the tacts may be relied upon.
At the battle of Cerro Gordo, where Santa Anna also
commanded, we have seen six hundred American sol
diers left on tile field, killed and wounded .
At tlie battle of Churubusco, where Santa Anna,
with Valencia commanded - , we have seen one thousand
and seventeen hundred American soldiers left on the
field, killed and wounded.
At the various batties before the gates of Mexico, we
have seen some 1,700 to 2,000 more of the very flower
ol the American army cut down by the Mexican legions
under Santa Anna.
We have thus seen some five thousand Americans
slain by what Mr. Ritchie pronounced to be a grand
piece of diplomacy on the part of Mr. Polk. All these
have follen,aiid liostsof others have disabled and niuti
lated in consequence of the aid and comfort afforded to
she enemy by Mr. Polk; and still it remains to be seen,’
as much as it is did when President Polk sent in his
message last December, whether Santa Anna's return,
by Mr. Polks s agency, “may not prove favorable to a
pacific adjustment of existing difficulties.” And it re
mains to be seen,” also, how much longer he may con
tinue the war, organize new armies, and give ns battle,
and how many more American soldiers he may kill.

A Suggestion.
The “Mexican Whig” State ol Kentucky has fur
nished for the Mex ican war five companies more than
is wanted, or will be received by the President ; while
patriotic Democratic State cl Alabama, that hastieen
called on to furnish only five companies, lacks just five
companies of the number required Now, we have to
suggest to those companies o.‘ Mexican Clay Whigs of
Kentockf, who are desirous of engaging iu the service
of their country ami Aurr been relused there, to (Vine
down to Alabama and they can have a chance. We
want j u*t jiv companies, and there seems to be no
prospect of getting them in this democratic State.—
Our people seem to have a decided du'itke to “villauuus
saltpetre.”
Will the Kentucky papers have the go,niness to lay
this proposition before the “Mexican Whigs” ol that
rasenlly Whig Slate,” and if accepted let tlie live com
panies come on forthwith !—Mobile Advertiser.

Increased Speed ou Kailwnya.
The latust English papers gave some aeeount of an
engine which line recently been invited tor the mainte
nanrr of high speed upon railways of narrow gutge.
It ha- Is en put in operatimi with the fullest succeiai
The peculiarities of the engine consist chiefly in a dis-
I position of the wheels, which permits them to support
the wear and weight ol locomotive apparatus of far
i greater (lower thansny previously used, while ut the
same time the weight of it is so distributed tlint die cen
tre oi gravity is placed much lower titan usual. To
these advantages are added the corresponding power
ol using driving wheels ol any diameter, together with
(lie great advantage of bringing the largest portions ol
tlie entire weight ot the engines to bear u|ion the ex
treme wheels. Tlie engine lias run thirty miles ill diir
ty-three minutes, including the time lost in “getting up
S|ieed, ’ and in slowly eoming to rest. Many of there
miles were gone over at tlie rate oi sixty-five miles jier
hour. A mail train oi sixteen carriages, weighing to
gether about eighty tons, was taken from Camden
Town to Tring, up hill nearly the whole way, a dis
tance oi thirty miles, in forty minutes, including th e

Cation S imples from ftidia.
The parcels of Cotton samples, to whieli we alluded
iu oir 1 ust n lm'i -r us having arrived from In lia to this
I port anj to Manchester, have been exhibited to the
trade in both towns, and have sold at 611 to 61J per
pound. The quality has been represented to us as clean
well colored, but deficient in staple, which is attributed
to the defective inode of cleaning at present adopted in
India. The parcels were divided into small lots not
exceeding 40 bales, and they attracted great attention
from the spinners and manufacturers. Reports are to be
transmitted to the East India Company for their informa
, lion, as to the quality of their produce in manufacturing
use, and as to the requisitesof the trade. The Manches
ter report of the quality of the parcel sent there says
’ Tlie cotton was considered very satisfactory iu poin
of cleanness and freedom from seed ; and, so far ns we
have been informed, that the only complaint made is
with reference to its shortness ol staple. Doubtless it i s
not so long as could be wi-hed ; hut this is a defect
which, il the statements oiexperienced cultivators are to ■
be credited, can be retndied lo a considerable extent, by
; selecting ground for cotton cultivation nearer the coast.
We understand that, with a view to this end, Dr. Wright
at the suggestion of the Manchester Commercial Asso
ciation, has already secured farms near the coast, in he
Goimpatore district. It is said that in this district he an-.
ticipates obtaining from 1009 to 1200 pounds of unclean
ed cotton per acre ; and even if half tltis produce be oh- \
tained, tog ther with a longer staple, the experiment
will be a remarkably successful one, and full of the most
important results. Messrs. John Peel & Cos. had re'j
ceived 90 bales of this cotton by the same vessel. We ;
may now add that they said the whole of this quantity
on Saturday last, at 6ld per pound. The way in which
this cotton has been brought to Manchester, by tlie
spinners, without th: intervention of any buying bro
kers, is a fact full of of significance, to which howev
er, we shall not further allude at present. We are in
expectation of further cargoes, ere long, of the experi
mental cotton, so that our spinners, will have ample op
portunities and means of judging of the qualities of cot
ton, the growdi of various parts of Indian territory.”—

The descendants of Cortes and of the Spanish con

with the bravery that the Mexicans have shown, migh t
have rendered their capital and its precious valley itn‘
pregnable , at least to the ten or twelve thousand men
dial the Americans could at present have brough
against it. But as the arrows of the Mexican Indians
told weakly against the firearms of Cortes, the utility
or treachery of Santa Anna in defensive warfare has
placed the city of Mexico at the mercy of the American

Santa Anna—What has been seen.
President Polk, in Ids annual message of December
7, 1846, said :
“ W lien orders were issued to the commander of our
navul forces in the Gulf, on the 15di day of May last on
ly two days after the existence ol the war had been re
cognised by Congress, to place the coast of Mexico un
der blockade, he was directed not to obstruct the pas
sage of Santa Anna to Mexico, should he return.
*
It remains to lie seen whether his return may not yet
prove favorable to n pacific adjustment of existing dif
ficulties.”
Santa Anna being thus passed into Mexico by Pres
deut Polk, to “aid and oomfort” the “poor miserable
Mexicans,” lot us inquire what we have seen of the
things the President told Congress remained “to be
seen.”
At the battle of Monterey, in September, 1846, we
have seen five hundred American soldiers left on tlie
field, killed and wounded.
At the battle of Bueua Vista, in February, 1847,
where Santa Anna commanded, we lutve seen sevei
hundred Americun soldiers left on the field, kilUdanu
wounded.

During tlie revolutionary war, Gen. Lnfayette beinj
in Baltimore, was invited to a ball. He went as re

might lie expected of a young Frenchman of twenty
two, he addressed the ladies thus:—“Ladies, you are
very handsome ; you dance very prettily ; your ball i
very fine , —but my soldiers have no shirts.” Tlie up
peul was irresistible: the ball ceased ; the ladies went
home and went to work, and the next day a large mini
beroi shirts were prepared by the fairest hands of Bal

SANDS’ SARSAPARILLA.
The blood contains the elements of the whole ani
mal structure: flesh and fibre, glands, muscles, tendons,
the nails, the hair, and even the bones themselves are
allsustained hy the blood. Well may it be called the
stream of life. In proportion to the purity, will be thnt
of the substances into which it is continually changing.
Corrupt blood instead of producing health, is likely
enough to develop sores and ulcers. When these ap
pear, whether in the specihc forms of scrofula, abscess,
&c. or of the ordinary types, there is no detergent, it
is believed, thaiwilllso rapidly neutralize the virus in
the blood irom whence they spring as this preparation.
Natural action of the excretory organs, renewed appe
tite, recruited strength, and a clear skin, are the results
secured to the afflicted from the use of this medicine,
as the uniform tosumony ol a multitude of attested cures
abundantly provts.
Prepared and sold by A. B. & D. SANDS, Druggists,
