Remember Pie!
Yes, dear one! thus the envied train
Of those around thee homage pay;
But wilt tliou never kindly deign
To think of him that’s far away ?
Thy form, thine eytt thine angel smile,
For weary years I may not see;
But wilt thou not sometimes the while.
My sister dear, remember me >
But not in fashion's brilliant ball,
Surrounded by tlie gay uid fair,
And tliou art fairest of them all.
Oh think not, think not of me there.
But when the thougtless crowd is gone,
Aud hush'd the voice of senseless glee,.
And all is silent, still, and lone,
And tliou art sad,—remember me!
Remember me—hut, loveliest, ne’er
When in his orbit fair, uid high.
The morning's glowing charioteer
Rises proudly up the blushing sky ;
But when the waning moonbeam sleeps,
At midnight on the lonely lea.
And nature's pensive spirit weeps,
Iu all her dews—remember me!
Remember me, I pray; but not
In Flora’s gav uid blooming hour.
When everyInrake has found its note,
Aud sunshine smiles iu every flower;
But when the falling leaf is sear,
And withers sadly on the tree,
Aud o’er the ruius of the year
Dark autumn sighs—remember me!
Remember me! but cboosc not, dear,
Tlie bour when on tbe gentle lake
The sportive wavelets, blue and cleor,
Soft rippling on the margin break;
Rut when tlie deafening billows foam
In madness o’er tlie pathless sea.
Then let thy pilgrim fancy roam
Across them—and remember me!

City or Mexico, Sept. 23,1847.
It is only n fortnight since I wrote you a detailed
account of tbe buttles of Contreras and Clmrubus-
co, and now I have to inform you of two more se
vere contested actions, which resulted in the en
tire rout of the Mexican army and the full of the
capital. I11 my letter of the 3d lust., I gave you
the prevailing opinions ofthe dny, with regard to
the probabilities of peace, which at that time were
very great. Tlie negotiations continued to lie car-
rieil ou will) great appearance of success until the
5th, when Mr. Trist returned with tlie news that
tlie Mexican government hod rejected with scorn
the proposition of tlie American commissioner, aud
at tlie same time Gen. Scott discovered that the
city was being fortified in violation of the armis
tice. He gave Santa Anna till 12, M., the 7th, to
recommence the negotiations and to atone for his
hrenrh of faith. But no apology came, aud the
time for action was at hand.
The key jaunt ofthe enemy’s line was a strong
and apparently impregnable work on the top of a
steep and rocky hill, about two miles from the city,
and was called Chupultejiec. Its cannon com
manded entirely the little village of Tucubaya,
where Gen. Scott’s and Gen. Worth’s head-quar
ters were, as well as tlie road leading to tlie city
and tlie aqueduct which supplies it with water.—
The hill was strongly fortified on all sides, nnd on
the toj> was covered by massive stone buildings of
tho Mexican Military College. The sides of the
hill were ruined, mid n thick and high stone wall
ran round a great part of it. On tho side of tlie
bill farthest from U» ana ronj from Tacnhaya to
the city, was a foundry which was represented as
being unprotected, lint full of'nmmnnition. It was
therefore determined to curry it with the intention
of storming Chapultejiec on that side. Tlie attack
commenced early ou the morning of the 8th, by a
storming party Of Worth's division, which was at
tacked so furiously, and received such n tremen
dous and unexjiected fire of artillery, that they
were obliged to fallback, leaving tlieir dead mid
wounded lying njion the field. The Mexicans, uf.
ter tlio retreat, cami out and killed nearly all tlie
wonnJcd, rttnong them three officer*. The whole
of Worth’s division was then ordered up, ns well as
Cndwallnder’s brigade, nnd after a furious and
bloody fight of an hour, they finally drove the ene
my out of tlieir works with a loss of a thousand
killed and wounded, besides, (as wo afterwards
learned,) mi hundred and two officers. The ene
my’s works were found to he much stronger than
was expected, consisting of a regular field work
surroundiag n strong stone mill, whicli was filled
with men. and which mounted ten pieces of artil
lery, princijially four and eight jmunders. The cn-
emv. who seemed to consider this the main at
tack on Chapultejiec, fought with the most dogged
obstinacy aud courage, aud returned no less than
three times after they had been driven out.
Our own loss, from the nature of the ground, was
very great. Twenty-one officers were killed anil
wounded out of forty-tkree present, and nearly eight
hundred men. There were in the action only about
3,500 of our troops, while the Mexican force is sta--
ted by themselves to hare been about 10,000.
The 8th infantry suffered greatly, aud came out
with only three officers. Lieut. C. Morris behaved
very gallantly, hut was so unfortunate ns to be shot
through the leg just above the ancle. Twiggs’di
vision was not engaged in the battle of Molino del
Rey, or King’s Mill, ns it is called. _ The mill was
foil of jiowder, and after the fighting was over,
blew up by accidcut, nud killed Lieut. Armstrong,
of the Artillerv. In all, this action lost us the
lives of nine officers. Our division had been h’ing
at the village of San Angel till the afternoon of the
12th. when word came to move up to riedad, a lit
tle village about two miles from Chapultejiec, as
well as from the c ity. The doctor told me to go to
the Hospital; the br'eret said no ! So I went in a
wagon, ns I was too sick to walk. That night we
arrived at I’iedud, where we bivouacked. The
next dav. the batteries, having been got into posi
tion at Tacuhaya, for bombarding Chapultepcc,
commenced firing at daylight. We could see the
whole of it from where we were, aud a most splen
did sight it was. Every hall went crashing thro’
the building, and every shell tore up tlio ramparts,
while their fire was scarcely less hot. It lasted all
day, and only ceased with daylight. In the after
noon a coll was made for 250 picked men for tlie
forlorn hope, tostorm the next morning at daylight.
At daylighton the I3th, all were in cxjiectation.
At G A. M. tho order came for Smith’s brigade to
march to Tncubnva. In tea minutes we were on
tlie road all in a harry, for fear we might be too
late. XX’e got into the village and marched down
to support Gen. Quitman on the road The firing
from the castle was very heavy ns our column pass
ed in the rear of our own batteries, hut luckily it
fell a few ynrds short. One by one, we crept
through a ditch, which jiartially sheltered us until
the two leadiug companies were ordered to de
ploy as skirmishers, when off ive started across the
open field and drove the enemy from behind a row
of mngney plants, and took their place. We were
then formed nearly as follows: Tlie stormers were
in the road at the foot of the hill, on the right look-
pared for the pursuit. The road leading from Ciia-
pultepec to tlie capital is a jierfect, straight and
broad carriage way, in the centre of which runs
the aqueduct tint supplies the city with water.—
It U supjiorted ujioit stone arches of about eight
feet span and height; tlie bottom of which are
about a foot higher than tlie road. Smith’s bri
gade was intended ns a bupjiort to Quitman’s, hut
it formed so quickly that it became tlie attacking
party, instead of the reserve, and dashed up the
rca 1 in full pursuit. The enemy soon commenc
ed a heavy fire ufion us from a strong battcrv
across the road, and death again found us, after ft
seemed to have loft us for tlie day. At last we
crawled up close to the battery, and our death-
dealing rifles told with fearful effect. Closer nnd
closer, from arc h to arch, we crept, until, “for
ward Rifle*!” brought out every man with a yell,
and the battery was ours. Again commenced our
slow and deadly march, as we gradually approach
ed the garrVo or gate of tho city, the" enemy re
treating slow v before us.
As soon as tliey crossed the gate n tremendous
firo of artillery opened upon us on both sides of
the aqueduebns well as from two flanking ha Her
n-eon both sides of the road. Here our loss was
very great; slowly creeping from arch to arch, we
lost tiiiiuy men by the batteries iu front, while the
fire from flanking batteries coming through the
arches, killed many who were safe from that in
frout. About noon we got close up to tlie garritta,
aud the enemy’s fire being partly silenced by our
artillery in the road, and thus being driven out of
the cross battery on tho left, we once more gave
the rillevell, and charged the garritta. Again we
were first, anil at twenty minutes past one, on the
I4th of Sejitember, the regiment entered the city
of Mexico. But our work was not yet ended.
Directly iu front was still another battery, with
flanking batteries, as before. Our regiment again
went forward, nnd assisted bv some others, we oc
cupied a house anil some of the arches, nnd not
only kept off, hut repelled fonrnttemptsntchargos
which they made. Meanwhile we had construct
ed a battery of sand hags at the garritta, mid kept
nji nslinrji tire ill front. Towards dark those in
front were recalled, nnd retired behind the battery.
That night the battery was completed, and the
men slept on tlieir anus iu the arches of tlio aque
duct.
So much for one column of tlie army. Imme
diately after the fall of Chapultepcc, General
XVorth’s division filed round to the left andtook tho
roiul to the gate of San Costno. This he soon
reached with but little resistance to liis progress,
nnd establishing his batteries, lie fired ujiou the
rear ofthe citadel,and thus partially diverted their
tire from us. lie entered the citv late iu the af
ternoon, some time after us. All night we lav
there, cold and hungry, but ready for the next day’s
work. During the night two commissioners came
in, who said that Santa Anna and his army hail
evacuated tho city; that it was at our mercy, and
that no further resistance would he offered to our
entrance. The next morning at daylight, we form
ed at tlie garrita nnd marched into the main plaza,
ill front of tlie Catliedral and tile I’alnce; and at 7
o’clock 1*. M., on the 15th of September, 1847, tlie
“Stars and Strijies” floated over the Halls of the
Montczumas. Gen. XVorth’s division arrived about
un hour later, nud took jiosscssion of the Alameda.
About 8 o’clock a tremendous hurrah broke from
a corner of tlie plaza, and in a few minutes were
seen tho towering plumes and commanding form
of ourgalluut old nero, Gen. Scott, escorted hy
the Second Dragoons. The heartfelt welcome
that came from our little baud, was such ns Mon
tezuma’.* Hall had never heard, and must have
deejily affected the General. Well they might—
for of the 10,000 gallant spirits that welcomed him
at Pueblo, scarcely 7,000 were left. Contreras,
Churulmsco, San Antonio, EI Molina del Rey,
Chapultejiec, and the Garrita, had laid low 3000 of
onr gallant army, and filled with grief aud sorrow
the hearts of all the rest.
Gen. Scott entered the Palace. But some ran
dom firing began to be heard indifferent parts of
the city, and the whistling of halls became the
music of the clay. The mob of the city had risen,
and from behind walls and windows the coward
ly lepero* tired ujniu. our men imjHiteut revenge.
The firing suon became sharper nnd nrauy of our
men were wounded iu the l’laza. Some of them
were sent out as skirmishes, and the firing be
came general; cannon, were jifaced at tlie corners
of the streets leading iuto the Plaza, and we soon
cleared them with grape and canister. Mad
houses were broken open to get at the house tops,
anil a great many were plundered by the very men
who were firing upon us, and of course ft was laid
to its. Some titty or sixty of tlieir men were killed
in a single house, nnd tiiongh tliey wounded a good
many of ours, we killed five for one. This lusted
till dark, when we were marched into tlio yard
and quartered there for the night, leaving the Ar
tillery to guard the Plaza.
The firing commenced again the next morning,
but was stopped before night by killing some 200.

‘VUi! I wish I was a faiiy !’■ a little maiden rried,
“Then iu a coach and six'.so grandly I won il rah*.-
I would dress in silks and satins, with gulden fringes
bound,
And my robe, like sunbeams shining, should sweep tlio

“Oh! I wish I were a fairy!" another sweet voice sane.
“For the fairies are so beautiful, so happy, anl so
young,—
I would dwell by gashing fountains, where the wild
flower bows its head.
And a green enamelled carozt o'er the sloping vinhere
spread.
‘‘Then if a pretty maiden rnme tripping there to fill
Her pitchers from the waters, taut glisten jure anl
I would touch her with rav wand, as tlie foirv -til l of

And from her lips should usaethcdnnnoud, pearl ami

‘'Oil! I wish I were a Fair}-! - ' cried a sweeter voice-
than all.
“But I would not turn my footsteps to graudeur's glit
teriug hall;
I would seek the haunts of sorrow, nud every tenr
should dry.
In the bright arid sunny lustre of niv Guiy-bcaming
eye.'
“I would go into tire cottage of the lowly ami the poor.
Ami I’d drop a purse idgold, as I flitted thro’ the door—
The widow's heart should sing, nml the little oi'i'lmn's.
YYliere'er ray silver sandals left tbeir small print ou

“Oli! bless tlio gentle maiden,” a fairy voice replied,
“Thy wish it shall be granted—like a moonbeam thou,

To tlie chamber of the sick, nnd the pillow of the sad—
Thou sbalt breath a bslm on one, owl make the other

"Thy go’d shall never fail—for it’s coined from thy

Thy flowers shall never wither, but ambrosial sweets-

Tliou hast a fairy treasure, niul blessings shall bo

A yonng actress, Madlc. with 11II the-attri
butes of tier nation—wit,beauty and talent in Inn-
art, entered her appartment in tho Rue , and
carelessly threw her shawl on the ottoman. Slio
scorned to droop in grief; nnd why? She had ::i>
rival to drend in her theatre, not a li iir of her silk
en tresses had changed its line: not 11 vow or pro
testation loss liiul crowned her last success. Why
then, was she sad?
‘Alas,” and she addressed her *nuiy true friend,
her confidential fesmio do cbnmbre, “alas! I am
the most miaerul ie of earthly beings. My whole
heart is absorbed on one subject), my existeuco is
a bane to n.-e_ without it.”
“And who is that hajijiy object.”
“Ob, Josephine! I huve fondly gazed, too fondly
fixe-? my affections, and then, as she mused to her
seif, “ where can I find two thousand francs?”
It was of nu enamelled dressing-case she spoke;
she had seen it ns she came home; Iind asked tho
pricc;but “alas, two thousand francs!” and she sigh*
ed heavily.
Tho door bell' rang—the maid went in nml
raise— “It is the English Lord with the unutterable
name, Madiuii.”
“Let him come in,” sho sullenly replied. Lont
entered; he cume to offer tho homage of hi*
adieu. The entree to the society of such beauty
nnd such talent he would preserve for Iris future-
visit* to Fan's; and lie ransacked his bruin? fo finil
some souvenir to present in token of his admira
tion. “I can only he sure of pleasing if I know wist
will find favor in yonr eyes.”
The prevailing p-issiou of tlio ennmeHcd (Tress*
ing^asestill being her only tlionght, she exclaim
ed, “Yes, yes; there is in the Rue de la I’aix what
would make me the floppiest creature in the world.
It is an enamelled' dressing-case. Morning nml
evening, did I jiossess it, you would ever be its
thought before me."
Before an hour shall pas* you shall lie the iinppy

and drove to the Rue de la I’uix. The dressing-

“XX’hat, and'were you not offered a sale for it
“Yes, madnmc,. an Englishman did ndmiro- it?

Macon, Oct. 26-. 5—tf
ing toward the city; ou tlio right of tho road in n
ditch, partially sheltered from tho enemy’s fire,
wn* Gen. Smith’s brigade, while two of our comjia-
nics were deployed in a ditch jierpendicular to the
road, aud about 150 yards from the enemy’s batte
ries. Gen. Fillow’suivision attacked on the left of
the hill, opposite u*. After about an hour 1 * hard
firing, the enemy’* began to slacken, and the word
was given to charge. We rushed forward, and iu
three tninntes wo carried the first battery. The
Rifles cutered the battery with the storming party,
which was commanded by one of its Cajitmns.—
YX’e following the fugitives close up tlie aqueduct,
and turning to tbe left clambered up the steep
path to the castle. The enemy were miming down
in crowds, aud the slaughter was tremendous in
tho road and orchard. Omr men were infuriated
by the conduct ofthe Mexican* at Molino del Key,
and took hut few prisoner*. The castle was com
pletely torn to jueccs. Nearly cvcty part was
riddled by our shot, while tho pavement and forti
fication* were completely torn up by die shelf*.—
I am afraid the prosjierity of the Mexican Military
Academy ha* been seriously checked. In it were
crowd* of prisoners of every rank and color,
among wlmm were 50 general officers, and afiont
an hundred cadet*. Tlie latter were pretty little
fellows, from ten to sixteen years of age. Several
of them were killed fighting like demon*, and iu-
deed they showed nu example of courage worthy
of imitation by some of their superiors hi rauk-
Iraving this captured fortress, with the stars and
stripes wavingovcr.it in ahundredplaces, we pre-
nextday we were marched into tolerable quarters,
and once more made ourselves as comfortable as
we could. But uh 1 we were weary meu 1 For
five days we hail not changed our clothes or taken
off our anus. We had not slept in a bed or had
a comfortable meal; for three days nnd night* we
had been tinder constant fire, and for two ufehts
ive had not slept. * * * I rejoice in the glori
ous laurels which the Rifles have won. It is. us
all acknowledge, the fighting Regiment of the
Army. If entered Chapultejiec simultaneously
with tho storming party. It was first iu all the
euemy’s works from Chapultejiec to the Citadel.
It was the first jilautcil its triuinjihant banner ou
the I’alncc of the Montezuinas. Whenever bloody
work was to be done, ‘the Rifle*' was the oiy, and
there they were. All sjieak of them in terms ot
praise nud admiration. Let me give you hut a
single instance. Some of their officers and men
were standing together when Gen. Scott hapjieiied
to ride by.- Checking his horse he returned the'r
salute, siiying with great energy and emphasis,
Brave Rifle*! Veteran*! Yon Have Bern baptised
in fire and blood, and have comeout steel! ” Had
you seen the unbidden tear stealing to- the eves of
those rough but gallaut spirits whose hearts kueiv
no fear, aud who had never yet, ill their long trial,
faltered or fallen hack, while tlieir flashing eyes
aud upright form* hesjioke its truth, you would
have felt with me that such words us those ivijied
out long mouths of hanlshiji and suffering. But wa jter
what told still more the tale of suffering and death,
were the deserted ranks and scanty numbers of
that gallant regimeut. Five hundred stor.ly men
left Jefferson Barracks for the plains of Mexico:—
one hundred nnd fifty-nine have met us here:—
aud now one hundred and seventy alouc are left to
tell the tale 1 Tho fate of the rest you kumv al
ready. Chapultejiec’s bloody hill, Mexico’s Capi
tol, have cost us an hundred noble fellows, while
seven officers havo felt that the rifles were doom
ed. Our gallant Major lost liis arm early iu the
day. Fulmer has a grape shot in his thigh. Oue
of our captains saved his life by half au inch,
while tlie rest whose slighter wounds jiermit them
to he about, attend to duty from necessity.
News still sad have I to tell. Lieu’. Morris of
the 8lh is dead. Ilo was shot through tlie ancie
nt Molino del Rey, while acting most bravely, and
died iu the Hospital, beloved by his regiment and
lamented by all. He was buried with the hon
ors of war, together with three officers of ids regi
ment. Of 17 officers in this regiment, 9 were
wounded aud 4 died in that battle. Worthy son
ofa worthy sire!—he died with his harness on, and
the tears of a soldier lament his fate. Kodgcni
fell at Chnpultepec; he was a noble follow aud is
bewailed by all who knew him. He died on llio
spot, nnd his face wore the most beautiful expres
sion imaginable. Foster iv.-is badly wounded in
tho leg on tbe 8th. I’almcr’s wound is not severe;
the shot was spout, nnd struck him on the arm and
hip hone. Tlie hall was taken out of his boot, nud
lie is now walking about, though lame, lie be
haved admirably. Schuyler H.-unilum is nearly
recovered; I met'him iu the street yesterday, look
ing thin aud pale, but much better, and 111 another
week ho intends returning to his staff duties. Ho
is in excellent spirit*.
Lieut. Graham of tlie dragoons, is getting better
fast, asalso Lieut. Thom, who wasslightly wound
ed in the action of the 8th. Since ivo entered the
valley of Mexico, ive have lost upwards of twenty-
five killed.
Since our communications were cut off wilh
