[Correspondence of the Columbus Enquirer.] Camp near Veka Cruz, ) Nov< 12th, 1847. ) Capt. loyall is with fne —a veteran truly — who has been engaged ih six distinct bbwdy tilts with the enemy, lie has met the full ex pectation of his friends in Georgia, lie, and hi* company, are entitled to every considera tion usually awarded to faithful soldiers. The Captain and his command came from the Na tional Bridge on yesterday. Col. Echols,- of the 13th regiment, is in command at that post, Georgians and Alabamians. Capt. Loyall’s first interview with the enemy was a few miles this side of the Bridge—where he had one private killed, Joseph Davis—3 wounded, corp. Terrill, privates Jno. Costley and Wm. C. Watson. The second came off at the National Bridge, one w'ounded, Jno. Mayberry. The third at Cerro Gordo, no one killed or wounded. Forth, about one mile this side of Jalapa, no one killed or wounded. Fifth, Hunmantla; killed, Elisha L. Richardson— wounded, Lieut. G. T. Anderson, privates Jno. T. Milton and Samuel M. Forshby. Sixth, Atlisco, no one killed or wounded. In the intervieics aforesaid, quite a number of the enemy were killed and wounded. In the last as>ault, however, the facts were bet ter authenticated than in the previous battles. The Mexican report is 200 killed and 300 Wounded. Capt. Walker was killed in the fifth engagement; at the moment Ca[t. Loyall was not more than ten steps from him. From the impression 1 hare received, Capt. Walker was at least rash, lie had been under arrest for No one believes he was a coward; he may have been imprudent, and I think he was. Immediately afrer Capt. Walker's death, Captain Loyall assumed the command. The mounted men were in advance of the infantry some five miles, and before their arrival the Mexican Lancers, numbering about 2,500, Charged upon oUr forces, were repulsed, and before the arrival of our Infantry, retired — leaving the town in the hands of our brate and gallant Capt. Loyall.- Capt. Loyall and his command have not been indulged in a day’s rest since their ar rival here. Their services have been various —their pay nothing —their comfort nothing— but if the Captain and his command are not reliable soldiers, such are no where to bfc found. At I-luamantla several distinguished persons were taken by Capt. Loyall. CoL La Yega and Maj. Iturbide w'ere among them, both aids to Santa Ann i—who was near the place, but he went to the church, and looked on.- Capt. Loyall has bedn ordered in every direction, hastened to every spot, and generally met ene mies, and occasionally found none at home, al though otherwise expected. The alcaldes said the Americans -were expected, and the sol diers had retired to the opposite side of the town, but did not give notice at what point they would rest. Capt. Loyall’s men have not received a dol lar since they left Georgia# now near six months. They have not been upon their oars at any time, and the forage for their horses has not exceeded generally the half of the usual allowance. The first Lieutanant, McCurdy, and 2d Lieutenant, Pitcher, have been untit for duty since their arrival here, in conse quence of sickness. The entire duties of the company have devolved upon Capt. Loyall and Lieut. Anderson, neither of whom ever failed to answer when called for duty. They Itave accomplished all they "were ordered to accomplish, they have failed in nothing, the treasury of tire country has not yet spoken to them, and a grateful people should speak to them. At La Yega, this side the National Bridge, Capt. Loyall had three shots sent through his clothing—one through the right sleeve, one near his right breast and one through his left sleeve. His horse was wounded in the face, too low to be fatal. In tire charge at llua mantla his horse was killcd.- Will you not talk to the people, or those who represent them? J. S. C. November 17, 1847. The Georgia Mounted Battalion, with three other campanies, go with a train to San Juan on to-morrow, where this battalion relieves,for the present, the garrison at that post, consist ing of Georgia Infantry, who are ordered to Jalapa.- Three days ago, the expected train from Mexico arrived, under command of Col. Har ney. Quite a number of sick, wounded and disabled officers and privates arrived on their way home. Gens. Quitman and Shields also arrived,and will pay a short visit to the United States.— They are both in excellent health, and, I think, cannot be otherwise than gtatified at the hearty welcome which they have received here. Col. Harney has not been with his fami ly for near three years, and he too has a short respite from field duties. Gen. Butler arrived to-day, and will take command, Gen. Marshall is yet disabled, but his admirable Aid and Adjutant enables him to discharge his duties with little inconveni ence to himself. Our early friend, Jesse B. Ilceves, arrived with the train from Mexico,in excellent health, and will return in few days. He was engaged in all the severe contests at and near Mexico, And several of his train were killed w ithin a few steps of this excellent soldier. I know' him well, for he served with me in a former campaign, and I must speak out. The health of the battalion is good, and but few will be left at tire Hospital when we march on to-morrow. Three days ages a clever young man, every way modest and unassuming, by the name of Morse, from Augusta, Georgia, died of yellow fever contracted at Tampico, lie joined Capt. Kendall’s company a day or twro before we sailed from Mobile. His habits were goo<l,but ke was so imprudent as to be in Tampico too late at night. Capt. Goulding will, very soon, I think, liave his command mounted again- Capt. Ful ton is now receiving that portion of his com pany left at Mobile. Our teamsters, with their wagons and mules, under charge of— — Ector, have not yet arrived. Os Capt. VV of £ord and his company we have no tidings. Since my arrival here, Capt. Nelson has t>ccn sick; so has Capt. Hamilton. Both, are Again in the saddle. Capt. Kendall * health is good, and he is always ready for duty—al ways efficient —and I regard him as a worthy model of a good soldier, and a good officer. Utters are equally worthy,but none better, and 1 his friends of Upatoie may well be proud of him. Capt. NY. N. Nelson, now in command of the Georgia Infantry Battalion, is with us, in excellent health and improved spirits because of the prospect of their near approach to the i city of Mexico. He will f .turn, w r ith us, to his command on to-morrow. I have just received a note from Lieut. Mangham, from the National Bridge, ill which he reports, “ All’s well.” We tire saddened by the absence of Capt. Wafford and his company. We are annoyed by the loss of Capt. Goulding’s horses, arid some fifteen of Captain Fulton’s, Naught else to complain of just now. j. s; c; Camp Booara, Nov. 16, 1847. j Messrs. Editors : — I am just now on a visit, i from Camp San Juan, to the Georgia Horse Battalion at this place. I have seen the Colo- I nel, and most of the officers and men on drill, and am happy to add my testimony to their extremely fine and soldier-like appearance. — No man could have gained the respect and es teem of those around him more completely that CoL Calhoun seems to have done. I am staying with Dr. Bozemcn, who has gained the entire confidence of the battalion. But no more of this, as it looks too much like flattery, and possibly you may want to hear something of the Infantry. c garrison Camp San Juan, about 18 miles from Yera Cruz, and live in daily hope of going on to wards the city, Our camp is somewhat sick ly, but by the constant attention of our in- 1 telligent surgeon, Dr. Miles, we manage to j weatrier it pretty well. Gen. Quitman spent j a shoi £ time with us the other day, and was pleased to compliment the neat appearance of our camp.- 1 look Upofl strict policeing as ab solutely necessary. Three of Lieut.

Eereiiing Mercury, 3d tnif.J Reception ofGcn Taylor- This is a great day in New Orleans. The sun rose gloriously this morning,and the clouds which were lowering above us for the last few davs, passed away before its light as the dotrbts which darkened o’er our country ere the battle of Palo Alto was fought and won, baforc the glory of Gen, Taylor’s victory. The Mary kingsland left the wharf at half past 9, witji the Committee of Arrangements and Lehma’ri’s ! brass band, and proceeded down the river to j the Barracks. Gen. Taylor received his visitors at the door | of his temporary dwellings, and there was an i expression of kindly feeling beaming in his face and a warmth in the pressure of his hand, as he saluted each person that passed, which told that the old man’s heart is as kind as it is brave, lie conversed freely with the members of the committee,on various matters —sugar planting, and agricultural affairs —stated his desire to leave the city on Sunday morning, so as to ar rive at Donaldsonville early in the day, as he purposed staying there for a few hours. When Gen. Taylor was received on board, the band commenced playing “Hail to the Chief,” and the shores of the Mississippi echoed the cheer which pealed from enthusistic thou sands. It was a grand and glorious sight, the broad bosom of the Mississippi, when the Mary Kinsland left the Wharf. Steamer after steamer came down the river with bands of music on board and streamers on ; the breeze; And it would be impossible to de- ! scr.be the enthusiasm with which he was cheer ed as each bounded to join in the acquatic j procession. The Mary Kingsland passed up j the river as far as Lafayette, with the ship i America towed immediately after her, and a long line of steamboats dashing on behind. Gen. Taylor leant on the arm of Mr. Peters, j and received with cap in hand the congratula tions of the people ou shore. When the Mary Kingsland neared the wharf, the sight which presented itself Was imposing in the highest de gree. The streets were dark with tire accumu lated mass of heads, and the ships’ decks,house tops, and every spot where a man could stand, was occupied. The music burst forth in “The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.” The carmen roared a welcome, and the stream ers with which all the vessels were decorated, appeared to wave in triumph. The excitement of the people was almost maddening, as he laud ed, and peal after peal of applause greeted the return of the old Hero. Here we must stop. To-morrow, we hope to do justice to the magnificent spectacle of to day. Beware of Counterfeits- We yesterday saw a Twenty Dollar Note of the Bank of Charleston, avhich was received by one of our citizens as genuine, but which was refused at the State Bank as a counterfeit. It appears-that the Bank of Charleston has issued no trills engraved like the counterfeit in ques tion, which has at its head an engraving of a high hill with [a rail-road track near by, on which is-a locomotive. It is worthy of remark too, that the vignettes (heads) on either end are very faintly done. The signatures of the President and Cashier are engraved sac similes, and the name of the payee is also engraved. The public cannot be too cautious, as no ortc, we presume, could possibly detect them, with out the aid of a Bank officer. —Savannah Repub lican, Sth inst. « (From the Griffin Jeffersonian.) Capt Doyle E- Sweeny- It is with sincere regret we announce the death of Captain Doyle Edward Sweeny, who died of diarrhoea, at Puebla, on the the 22d of July last, in the 57th year of his age. — Captain Sweeny was born and raised in the city of Philadelphia. The writer of this no tice formed his first acquaintance at school in that city. After receiving a plain, grammar school education, he was put in the printing office of John Binns, editor of the “Demo cratic Press,” where, by his industry he soon became an excellent practical Printer, and was noted for his general acquirements, and sub stantial information. When the war broke out between this country and Great Britain in 1812, Mr. Sweeny first served as a volun teer, and afterwards, through the recommen dation of Joel Barlow', then late Minister Plenipotentiary near the Court of France, ob tained a Lieutenancy in the army, which com mission he bore till the end of the war, with j honor to himself and credit to the service. Af ter the war,he engaged in a South Sea voyage, and was absent from his native city three years, and on his return removed to the State of 1 South Carolina. He took up his residence in Columbia, and became co-editor, with James A. Black, now' a member of Congress from that State, of the Columbia Telescope, w'hich they afteiwvards sold to Mr. A. S. Johnson. When the brave and lamented Col. Pierce M. Butler raised the Palmetto Banner to march for Mex ico, Sweeny was among the first to enroll his name, although then considerably advanced beyond a legal age for military duty, and marched to Mexico. The disease above men tioned, which has been fatal to so many of our brave countrymen in that inhospitable climate, seized upon his vitals, and in a few days con signed him to the cold embrace of death. Capt. Sweeny was frank and honest. Un used to the least dissimulation himself, he could not abide the slightest appearance of it in others. In his friendships he was ardent and devoted, in his opinions open, bold, and decided, in his intercourse, manly and inde pendent. He had faults, (as who has not) but even those faults for the most part emanated from a bitter detestation of the gilding and j '; gloss with which vice and wrong are too often I enveloped. In a pure spirit of patriotism he j had no superior, and to his love of country he j ! sacrificed the sweets of civil life, home, friends, and life. He has left a widow and we believe , one child to mourn his loss. Satisfaction’ from Editors.—When the | John Bull newspaper first started,many gentle j men felt offended with the freedom of its re marks. A gallant colonel, a near relation ot an illustrious house, taking amiss some inno cent freedom of the editor, determined to curb ; his wit by a smart application of the horsewhip. I Well, the colonel full of martial tury, walked himself olf to the John Bull office, in Fleet ; street, burning with revenge, grasping in his i right hand the riding master’s whip of the regi ! ment. Intimating his-wish to see the editor, he was politely shown into a room, and informed that the editor would wait on him instantly. Like a chafed lion, he walked up and down j the room during the interval, flourishing his j weapon of vengeance; when the door opened, ; and in marched an individual of the Brobdig- j nag species, clad in a thick white tu/zy grey coat, his chin buried in a red cotton handker- ! chief, with a broad oil-skin hat upon his head, and a most suspicious looking oak stick under his arm. “ What might you want with me, sirasked this engaging looking individual. “ I wished to see the editor.” “I am the edi- j tor, sir, at your surwis,” said the Brobdiguag, j taking from its rest the stick of about the ! thickness and seize of a elothes-prop. “ In- j deed !” ejaculated the colonel, edging away j ] towards the door; oh, another time.” “ When- j ’ ever you please, sir;” and the parties sepa- : j rated.

Glover, Directors. Specie- The amount of specie exported from New ; York during the month of November, was less than a million and a half of dollars ; in Octo ber it w’as a trifle above six hundred and se venty thousand dollars, and the total export i during the year is about three millions two j hundred thousand dollars. Money Matters- The N. Y. Journal of Commerce of 26th ult. says —“ The money pressure during the last w eek has been much as during the previous week. The difficulty in obtaining money, ex cept from the banks, results in a great mea sure from the usury law’, causing everything offered in the street to be scrutinized much more severely than wmuld otherwise be ne cessaay, and preventing almost all capitalists from using their money at all at more than legal interest. The banks have noAV about six millions of specie. About half a million was exported by the packets of Dec. Ist, as we said would be the case iri our article a w’eek ago. — Aside from that, nothing has occurred. The export of silver toFrance has ceased entirely.” The Effect at the North- A correspondent of the New York Herald, w riting from Boston* thus speaks of the ef fect of Mr: Clay’s speech in Massachusetts: Many men, well acquainted with the £, \ South, have long Said that theire is i'r* opposition to slavery in that quarter i the Republic which only needed £3^” nient to speak out. It is believed here that_jkA VW*Mr. Clay's speech and resolutions have forded such encouragement. Still, a great anxiety exists to hcrir from the South, and to ascertain how the speech and resolutions have been received there.” We shall see whether the “ encouragement” which Mr. Clay has given w’ill bring out at at the “ South,” that “ opposition to Slavery” which some Massachusetts people b'clieve ex ists here. Let the South remember that this question is like a two-edged sw’ord, and the Whig party feel that while the adoption of Mr. Clay’s view's may promote their pai’ty in terests, and cut at their Democratic oppo nents, with its other edge it aims a keen hlow at tKo v4tala n£ southern poace, labor and prosperity. — Columbus Times.- [Correspondence of the Constitutionalist .j GRORGIA LEGISLATURE.

The following letter, among many, ha 9 been ad dressed to the Doctor: New York, July 15, 1&47. Dear Brother # # * A change, yes, a wonderful change,has come oyer me since I wrote to you. Oh, say you, what change 7 I will tell you, would that 1 could speak in the ear of all my sex who are suffering as you known 1 have suf fered for years —I would tell them to look up and be comforted. There is hope evon for them —yes, 1 notwithstanding they may have ‘"spent all their j Irving on physicians without any benefit" but rath- j crgr.wwo.se. Yes, brother, them. J lor Dr. Banning ’s Justly celebrated Body Brace i, the fireat panacea. Vou are aware that I have used various other supports, without much, if any bene gt. Well, what will you say when I tell v OU | have been induced by a f.iend of humanity one that like yourself, de.ights to relieve his suffering fellow creatures, to fry one of Dr. Banning's Bra ces as an experiment. I have worn it for some time, and can now testify that language is wholly j inadequate to express the relief I have received from it. That constant dull pain and pulling sen sation in my right side is n holly obviated by the use of the Brace likewise the pressing, bearing down of the abdomen is entirely relieved. That goneness, or feeling that the joints of the lower part of the spine were gone, is also entirely relieved.— Likewise Piles, and constant constipation of the bowels are wholly obviated. You well know how difficult it has been for me to walk any distance for years on account of those complaints. Since I came to this city. I have walked more than usual, and the consequence has frequently been inability to rise from my bed tor hours.
