The following extracts of-a letter fro it N„
Orleans, to the editor of the New \jork Morn,
ing News, will be read v#TfTTinterest.
r It will be seen front this lettor that Gen. La
Vega avows the opinion that the Mexicans
will yet deal us some bard blows : From the
elements before us it is extremely difficult to
form an opinion of the course Mexico will pur
sue hereafter. To judge from the unsettled
state of things in that ill stared country as
well as from her past imbecility and weakness,
we might presume that lire late disasters on the
Rio Grahde would end the war—and induce
her government to come forward and sua for
poaco. Yet we cannot banish the impression
formed, by carefully watching the progress of
events in that quarter that"whether abetted by
foreign aid or not, ns many haw cbniV*.ir«d
1
Me insolence of Mexico has not yet been suffi
ciently’ rebuked. It will require a severer fla-
j gellation than she has yet received if we would
j have her manners mended .‘efficiently, either to
J guarantee her good behavior for the future, or
impress upon her tho necessity of conforming
in her intercourse with us, to the rules which
every nation claiming to be civilized observe in
their intercouse with other communities.
“ Gen. La Vega was taken a prisoner in
the battle oi Resacu de la Palma, while- de
fending the pass so gallantly carried by Capt.
JVIay and Hvo companies of 2J dragoons, back
ed by the 5th infantry, lie fore (he resistless
charge ef the dragoons, uljo flew over the b.t-
terv by forms, most of the Mexican artillery
fled in confusion to the Rio Grando, which they
took whenever they could find it out; but Gen.
La \ egn, seizing a match,/was preparing to
fire a cannon almost alone, when he, was at
tacked by the dragoons. 11 o turned to defend
himself, and between the wheels of two can
non height like a lion, refusing to surrender to
bom j of tho “ croakers” ask where tire mon
ey is to come from to p iy the expense of this
" ar, forgetting that all tho silver spoons, plate,
nnd jewelry Delong;ng to fine ladies, as well as
the pork and corn of the planter must be pm
into requisition whenever the necessities of the
•State require it. All that is to ba done in such
a case is to order the solJier to do his duty.—
I’lio whole property of Me Nation forms oue
mass for her defence; as to any other owner,
it is idle to think of such ati absurdity, further
than to leave in place of all lims converted, full
evidence of the quantity, quality and condition,
and from whom taken, that Congress may make
full indemnity; but this indemnity is no concern
of the soldier. It is his duty.to take all tho
army requires wherever found, and whoever the
y have c'onjectured, owner m ty be.

EXTRACT FROM FROM THE DIARY OF A

The summer'of 18— had departed, .and the
soft twilight of a mellmv day in the autumn jif
that year found me still at my office. 1 lid(1
passed tho day in a state of pt?rfect al>stnictipn.
The iat'xicatioa of a new pm Cession art work
had overpowered me; and it was riot until the
following noto was placed in.my hands, that 1
observed that night was fast drawing her sable
curtains around me.

of your coming. Circumstances put it out of my power to
see you elsewhere. Yours, &o.,

My eye ran rapidly over tho contents of tills
mysterious note, and dropping the candle on
tiie lubln I hurried to the door to demand of
tho bearer an explanation of its contents; but
he had left, and there was nothing visible but
the blue sky and the shining stars, and the
moon, which like a golden lamp, was rolling -
taro ;g!i tbo dark bluo depths of lu aveu! A
thoustipj embarrassing thoughts- chased' each
other across my mind.
“Approach and enter tho house by the east
door, and with as little noise as possible.”.
To mo those were ominous words. But 1 pass
over the recital of my own feelings. Yielding
to the engrossing passion of niy profession, i
determined to comply with my friend’s request.
All was still, and a3 1 walked rapidly along my
IRISH JASPER GREENS.
This fine company, numbering ninety-six
rank and file, commanded by II mry R. Jack-
son", arrived on tfie Savannah cars on Friday
evening last. Tney were escorted from the
depot in E 1st Macon, to the Court House
Square, by the Floyd Rifles, Bibb Cavalry, and
Macon Volunteers; ^received &, welcomed to
the city by Stmuel R. Blake, Esq., an honora
ry member of the Rifles, in an addtessof great
beauty & appropriateness. ■ We regret that we
are unable to layit before ourreaders. His speech
was replete with tbe'uoblost sentiments of pa
triotism j but our distance from him and the
frequent interruptions of his remarks by the
deafening cheers of the multitude, prevents us
from venturing to give even an-outlitio of it.
Captain Jackson responded in behalf of the
Greens. He spoke with afervor and eloquence
which tiue patriotism can alone inspire—
which must be beard to be realized. Alter
Capt. Jackson had concluded, the Greens, es
corted by tbo volunteer companies of tho city,
marched up to Second street, wliere'tliey par
took of a collution prepared for them by the
citizens.
The Greens then returned to the Floyd
House, where quarters had" been secure^, foj
them, & remained the guests of tho city during
their stay. At 9 o’clock on Saturday morning
they resumed their march to Columbus,the place
of rendezvous, &. wer? escorted out of the city
by the companies which bad received them the
previous evening.
The Greens arc well officered and as fine a
set of volunteers as ivo ever saw. They at
tracted general admiration from their military
appearance and superior discipline while here.
We bid their Godspeed on their patriotic ex
pedition. ' '

The approach to Mexico when tho city first

The Texas Telegraph of the 22d u!t. says,—
“ yVc learn front a piivate letter, that General
Tavlor t#s expressed a dctci.miiiatioH to make
his summer qdarters at Monterey, and there is
no doubt, taut with the force now under his
command, anti the volunteers that, tire hasten
ing 10 l»is standard, that be can establish his
summer quarters in any part of tlio .eastern pro-
vjiices of Mexico that lie desired. The valley
of Monterey was visited by many-of; our ^of-
diers, duri-ig the Federal war, ami they aii
dcscribe. it us an earthly paradise, groves uf or
anges, lemons, figs, and- poinegranai.es, sur
rounded the ciiy ; and the whole valley which
is irrigated by countless rivulets of pure nnd
oholesumo water, is but a continuous garden
producing various kinds of vegetables, and tro
pical It nils in. abundance. The cfini'i'te botre-
vcr. iii summer, is rather too warm to be agree
able to persons from the Northern States; but
tit a shorl'di-slauce, in the eh. vateil plains along
tho mountains, tfie climate even in midsummer
is as c<>ol and salubrious as ihjit pffl.ie Cittskill
mduDtauis. Even me noitbern fiuits, sucii as
the apple, pear, etc.; are prorideed in abur d-
aiice in those elevated regi'ins. When our
troops oncti get pleasantly located in that de-
ligntful region, they will bo vqry uinviliii.g to
forsake it, and the. glowir-g dcscriplions ihey
wifi circdlu’te throughout the Union, will ere
lang excite a desire among all classes to annex
it to tho United States. The stupendous chain
of the Sierra Madre, is a boundary meet for a
rent nation; but the insignificant Rio BruVtj
only suitable to define the limits of States or
couiuies.”

At a meeting ol the Trustees of thin Company, it was
G o. Ybga, who with other officers of tho
Mexican army wore brought to this city yes'-
terJ-av as prisoners of war, was at the'storming
of tho Alamo, .and tvus taken prisoner at ihb
ioui of San Jacinto. He is represented to Ir*
a very brave 'rind honorable geriUeth.m. We
tiro glad to Itear ihal he wid K-ceive w hile lit re,
every politeness and courtesy. The veteran
Gaines, with Uiu magnanimity ami considera*
lint t|uil, always nlteud valor, list no lime in-
taking measures for tho comfort and con
venience of the distinguished Mexican. The
handsome conduct towardslrni of Geo. Taylor
and his officers is spoken of in' lit terms h} v our
correspondent at Point Isabel. We are pure,
the citizens of New Or cans will also exercise
such courtesy, as to persuade Gen. Vi:ca and
his cdmiudqs that they are rather guests than
prisoners in our city.—;V. O. lhillctui, 23(1
