Tom is a clever fellow and deserves to be patronised. " - - Lieut.- Kearney, who recruited for the Dragoon service at Indianapolis, is already on his march to join the Army. The N. O. Pica yun of the 21st inst., says: 'Lient; Kearney brought up his company of is rs goons to town yesterday, agreeably 10 pre vious announcement, ihey made a very tin appearuce, though the dust whicli covers every tiling just now gave them the appearauce of soldiers returning Ironi the wars, rather than proceeding thither. We have never seen a bo- ' itj of men so finely mounted ns they were.' Speaking of war, we may as well state thai we have a rendesvous at this place and two U States Army officers, Captain Stephen Tucker recruiting for the new mourned rifle regimen I, and Lieut. A. D. Kelson of "the 6ih. Infantry We are informed by these Gentlemen that Indi ana has furnished more troops for the regular service since the Government commenced falling tip the different regiments, than any other State, and those of the very best character. Capt. Tucker ha recruited near half his company at this place, and a finer body of men would be hard to find; when all to-ghethcr ihey will av- ' erage near six leet, aud will, when they arrivein Mexico, give a good account of themselves. Those recruited by Lieut. Nelson, lor the Infantry service are equally promising. FROM THE ARMY. We pubiisli all the additional items from tbe amy, so far as received.

He is so desperately j ' wounded that his recovery woull be deemed a .miracle, but he has great strength ot constitu' lion and his numerous Iriende do not despair.

Superior 10 us in numbers, strongly fottifierl aud wilh immense preponderance of artillery, they have yet been driven from point to point until forced I o rue for terms of capituiatio.i. Such terms have been granted as were considered due to the gallant defence ol the town and to , the liberal policy of our own Government. The General begs to return his thanks lo his commanders aud to all his officers and men, boih of the regular and volunteer forces for the skill, the courage, and parseverance with which they have overcome mini fold difficulties, and finally achieved a victory slieddinn lustre upon the American arms. A great result 1ms been obtained, but not without the loss of mmj gallant and accomplished officers aud brave men.

A Washington letter published in the New York Herald, has the following items: We ar informed of a speedy attack upon Tampico, as the result of the late Cabinet !eihetations, and that with this view, a portion of the New York volunteers, called for last summer, may noV expect a call for active service. We have strong; ransnn to believe, o'.so, that Vera Cruz is no longer to be spared : but tlmi a co-operate attack by land and sea will follow 'e lose after the storming of Tampico, if it does not take place simultaneously. The Government ia resolved to enforce it upon the Mexicans that we are in raruest. and i satisfied that the sooner the enemy are convinced of it the better lor them, for us, for huinanity, and lor the tieasnry. The destructive fire to which (he division under Gen. Taylor was exposed, when advancing n the enemy1 forts on the 21st ult., at Almite rrv, may be "gathered from the fate of the gallant Third Kfjimmt. Soon after the time when the order lo advance was given, Maj. Lear, in command ol the regiment at the time, got killed. Capt. Morris then assumed the command ; he too shared a like fate. Capt. Ennbiidue next to lead; lie eot severely wounded, and - had to retire, Bvt. Major Brbotir was the next to take command : he waa killed.

EVACUATION OF MONTEREY.

Monterey, Mexico, Sept. 29, 1846 Gentlemen We are at length 111 quiet pos session ot this place, the lust division of Ampudia's army having marched out yesterday morn ing. The 1st division marcnea out, on ine zom, the 2d on the 27th, and the balance on the 23th. I saw the two last, and was able to form a tol erable good ideaol the number of men in them. There could not have been tewer than 2ouu in each division, of regular soldiers, well armed and equipped, , Add to these some 2000 h rsemen who left the city in email parties, during iho four days fight, and at least 5000 citizens of the town-who took up arms in its defence, aud you have a pretty stroug furce for the dele nee ol the place which na'.ure and art have combined to render as strung as any in the wotld. How such oil army, thus situated, coutd ever allow iisell to be conquered by a force ol leas than 7000 men, will always sppear strange to me. The cowardice ol Ainpudia is now established beyond a doubt. So careful was tie of his person, that it is said he never once left his house when any firing was going on. -What a pity that one ol our shells could not have drupt into his bedroom. 1 lelt perlectly satisfied, when I saw the Mexican troops pass out of town, with the arrangements which (jen Toytor had made willi them. To have taken all those men prisoners would have been useless. Their arms we did not want; their horses were worthless, with a few exceptions, and it would have been very expensive and troublesome to feed and guard so many men. And moreover, it would have cost many valuable life to have carried i incity at the point of the bayonet. 1 rode out with the head ot the column day before yesterday, when their second d ivision left town. Thai scene alone would almost have remunerated one for the long journey to Monterev. At the head ot i lie column rode the commander of the division, with Ins staff, accompanied by Maj. Scott, of the 5th infantry, with his Adjutant (Lieut. Deas,) and Lieuis. Hanson, Uobinsoii and McLaws. Gol reyton rode by the side of tiie chief, and received a very affectionate embrace from him us we turned out to let the column march, when the head had recched l alice iiiil. Aud now was pre sented a scene that I can never forget. 1 wo regim'enls ol infantry led ofF. with colort flying, drums beatins, and the trumpets blowing with all their might. The lifers made all the noise they could. The men were all well armed, & the whole- division seemed to be well appointed, with ilie exception of shoes, in lien ot which, most of the men wore s-iiuials.' Three pieces of artillery were in the centre of ilie column, one six, one nine, and one twelve-pounder. The line, marching four uhreast, extended about one mile. The army was accompanied by a great many females; officers' wives on horseback, their faces muffled, , and w i th hats on; soldiers' wives mounted ondonkeys.or on foot, some of them carrying burdens that I would scarcely think of packing upon mules; younc women with short pettieo.t 9, and tiuii, tripping lightly along; young giris trudging along with their littlo valuables in their arms. 1 noticed one pretty little creature, about nine years old, with a pet chicken on one arm and parrot perched upon tier hand, i lie ugliest woman t ever nearu oi was waiKing otuiuu a poor little flea-bit donkey, belaboring him with a large" slick, the donkey was ridden by a rou'itr woman, a second edition ot the old one. A Drecious pair, tnai motner aim uau"iuer. Most of the soldiers looked sullen, and their eyes g'eamcd with hatred, and a desire for re venge. One ot Mcuuiiocirs noises, a vaiuauie animal, which' a man was leading out of th way of the Mexican troops, was seized and led off, the soldiers levying their muskets at the hostler when he endeavored to recover hts horse. The animal was promptly! returned, however.on the circumstance being mentioned to the commanding officer. Yesterday moruine the last - division ' was drawn out in the plaza next to the cathedral I that is, all that the plaza coutd hold and Capt . Miles, who is stationed there with his regiment, fjlll lllfaniry,) 9'rew u;) his command and saluted the regiments as they passed hill. I never heard a noise until ycsfPTrttiy morning. Pandemonium never contai ned ns noisy a gang as these Mexicans are. It seemed to be the particular endeavor of every man to make all the noise that is in his power, Inere must have been fifty buglers and as many filers and as many drummers playingt the same time, and l0 three vf. lliein attempting the same tune. I saw several regiments of fine looking sol diers, men of "good size, youn j, active a uJ athletic. The 1st division is encamped in the grove, three miles east of the town one of the loveliest spo:s in the world, shaded by large pecan aud live oak trees Th's grove seems to be the only woodland in this region, and W resorted to by the citizens of Monterey as a place for holuing pick-nick parties. The 3d, a volunteer division, is also encamped in this grove. Gen. Worth's division occupies the tnwiu The citizens arc beginning to return in great numbers' and apper to feel glad that the Mexican Army has left them. 11. FROM THE Seat of War. Wo copy the fol lowing from the Charleston Evening News of j We are indebted to Cant. Thornton, of the U. S. Dragoons, who arrived here yesterday, lor ?ome interesting particulars from the sea.t.of war. Capt. Thornton informs us that it is now very sickly at .Matu moras, which place he left some where about tin; 24th of last month. At (he j time of his lea ing, llmre were 700 Americans, i aboul three-fourths voluuteeis, sick of liiseuta ry, accompanied with intestinal ulceration and typhod lever. The avetage number of deaths was five a day. It is to be exptcied, however, that the accession of cold wtmlitr will abate the violence of the disease. Capt. T. further informs us ihat an order had been issued by Gen. Taylor to Gen . Patterson, st CHmurgo, to 8-nd the A lahnma and Georgian volunteers to Monterey. They were lo be commanded by Gen. Pillow. The following is the location of the American forces at the different points on the Rio Grande. One regiment of volunteers at the mouth of the Rio Grande. Two reimen!s at a Mexican fort on the river, 10 miles from' the mou'li. One regiment of Ohio volunteers under the command of Col. Curtis, and lour companies ol ariiilery, regulars, at Matomoros. The volunteers are encamped on the north edj;e of ihe town; two companies of artillery, under Capt. howo.are stationed in Fori Urj.vn; one company in Fort Paredes, and one in the Plaza. The whole of the troops at Camargo under the command ol Col. Clarke, A S. A. One company of artillery, regulars, and oin company of Kentucky volunteers are encamped at kcyonea. Oife company ol artillery muter uapt. swarivrout, at Mier. One hundred and thirty draminn recruits under Lieut. Lund are encamped in the Fl8Zii Mier. Gen Patterson had, previous to the two rcoiments being ordered to Monterey, about 4,000 men encamped three miles from Camargo. Maj Tochmax Demanded by tiie Mmpekor of : RLTSSIA- Ti-e Washington correspondent of the ; New York Herald says: . .... . - fi' i tv i: i. .1 ajor locimian, a l oudti exiie, nut now a citizen of the United Slates, and a regular practicing attorney of this city, is at prrsent involved in some little interactional dilliculty. about which , however, we neeil have no sortol apprehension. The Autocrat ot all the llu. sians has instructed his minister here, the Baron Bodisco, to have Major Toch man surrender, ed over to the Russian government and listen tier mercies, as a criminal against her laws. The mildest fate of the Major, if given up, would be bis transfer to the mines of' Siberia, Jiy crime is a participation in ihe Polish revolutionary war of "3i. We have only to say, that us the Major lias since become a citizen of the United States, we can't spare him."

(VERY IJIPORTASTJiEWS FROM

TIIE CITY OF MEXICO. LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM ; " VERA CRUZ. The following very interesting intelligence we copy from the New Orleans Commercial Times of Saturday, the lOlh inst: The U. S. sloop of-war John Adatn9, 'commander McCluney, from Vera Cruz the 25th ult., touched on the S. W. pass on the 7lh instant, on her way to Peusacola. Lieut. Kennedy, late of the U. S. schooner Forward, came passenger in her, and left her at the Balize, arriving in the ciiy yesterday al t re noon, v From this gentleman we have learned the following particulars regarding the blockading squadron. - The whole of the officers and crew of the Truxton, who sur rendered to the Mexicans, after the loss of that vessel off Tuspan, have been released, the officers on parole the men under a pledge for a due exchange. Capt. Carpender, the laie comrnatuler of that ill-fated vessel, Pur ser Culler, Mr. Wilkinson, Captains cleik, and many of her crew came passengers on the John Adams. The rest of the officers nnd men were taken on board the store ship Relief, at Atone Lizardo, aud was lo sail for Pensacola in a few days after the departure of the John Adams; she was only awaiting the arrival of the schooner Forward, Capt. .Nones, which had been despatched to Tuspanroti the 23th ult., to take on br.urd ten or twelve men, who had been left there sick by Cupt. Carpender, when he lelt for Tarn pico afer sur tendering himself and crew. The U. S. frigate Rarilan, Capt. Gregory, front Pensacola, and ihe steamer Vixen from. New York, arrived off Vera Cruz on the 2"2d tilt., the latter having on board Com. M. C. Perry. It was believed that Com. Petry would hoist his fl igon board of the sieamar Mississippi, on her arrival off Vera Cruz, where she wus d tily expected fioin Pensacola. The rmrine who was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to die, for sltiking Lieut.. Taylor,-of the sloop-of-war St. Marys, was hung at the yard-arm on board that vessel on the 2ytb ulf. .The schooner Flirt Lieut. Sinclair thnd sailed for Not folk, Va. for repairs. The brig Pqrpoise was on a cruizo to' the Southwaid; the Sotnersand Si. Marys were block aditig Very Cruz. The lemainder of the squadron were at SiCiificios where f here were lying at anchor several foreign men-of-war. Lieui. Kennedy states that at the time he left no rumor existed of any attempt to be made by the squadron on Tampico. There had been for -sometime a report that a hostile demonstration was to be made on Alvarado. With regard to Mexican interna! aflairs very little was known in the sqmdnui. It was however, stated that Santa Anna had put himself at the head of tlia army, and. wis aboul to march against General Taylor. The Mexicans, notwithstanding all their attachment to Santa Anna would not elect him their President utiles he pledged himself to a vigorous prosecution of the war with America, On that subject there was little" diller ence of opinion j seemingly, nil ranks were burning witn a oesue to onve tlie invader from the soil, if they could. The health of the crews on board the several ships off Vera Cruz was very satisfactory and ihe admir hie discipline kept up Ins pill them all in a most efficient state to meet t!ie enemy. Officers nnd men are alike noxious for an opportunity to show their mettle. City of Mexico In addition to the intelligence which we have given in the preceding paragraphs, we have learned from another source some interest to the public, which havo lately transpired iu the interior ol -Mex ico. Siula Anna, as it rppears, his suddenly become the chief head and hope of the war parly in Mexico, which indeed, to say the truth, embraces neatly the whole ol the population. He is now, or was at latest dales in live city of Mexico, arranging the plan of an extensive campaign against the several American corpse iTarmee, organizing, recruiting, encouraii)( exhorting ihe inhabitants nut only of the capital, but the whole countiy, i with a view to meet the danger that threatens ..uexico wniitiia wno:e ot tier defensive resouices. e tind tliat bint t Anna had at length Wo 1 1 quit tea ins reireat, ms nacieiula, w here he had been, no doubt lying by for an opportune moment to arrive when tie could best exhibit himself to the inh ibiiants of the capital, and profit by their highest enthusiasm, push ed to an extreme by their alternate hopes and fears. On the 14th ultimo, he leached Az Uta, a small town distant ten or twelve leagues from ihe city of Mexico. Here he receiv ea a communication mini Almonte, the interim Secretary of War, proposing to him the Supreme Executive or Diciaiorshiji. This off-T was m tde on the part of the pmvisional government organized by General Sal is, aftur the fall of I'atedes. Santa Anna replied immediately to the mission of his partisan, Almonie, who is said to be body and soul devoted lo the interests of his patron. He evinces considerable reluctance to profit by the generous confidence exhibited towards linn by his countrymen ; he declares that he cannot accept ihe offer made hitn of becoming chief tit' ihe Republic. His only desire, he pioiesls is to occupy tlie post for which be bus been nominated, and which he has assumed ihut of commander-in chief of tlie aiiny fur the puipo.e of leading h in person against the peifidious'1 foe who is now ravaging in l,er heart. He says ihat in his exile, lie heaid the vuice of his country calling on him tu defend her, nnd he hastened home to be employed in this mission. The circumstances which environ .Mexico, he believes are so eminently perilous, that she must make a desperate effort, or Le contented to see her uamecrossed from ihe list of independent nations. He reiterates his ardent wish to mutch against .the enemy; he strives to impress ou Almonte, and through him on the Mexican people, that his motives are pure and his purposes honest, and that an assumption of supietne power, such as embracing the olfer then made him. could have no other effect than impeaching his honor in the eyes of his fellow citizens, by investing his first measure on reaching the capital wilh the characteristic of self ambit ion. The whole of his effusion is in the usual style of Mexican documents, grandiiloqucnt and tuflited lie concludes by init

ma ling hia intention of enier ng the city f .u.. ,i 'Pi.:. i iJ

ilie uca uay. i no :uiiC!poi)ueilCc is shrewdly supposed to be part oi a; drama, the end of which is to raise this seemingly patriotic, but really ambitious and unprincipled man, to the supteme Dictatorship, j On the 5th ult, then, Santa Anna arrived at the capital, amid rejoicings more enthusiastic than bad ever been witnessed before. The people seem to behold in him tteir saviour, and were almost frantic with joy. The testimonies of attachment to bis person Were unbounded. The next day the most vigorous measures so far as declarations go, were taken by the provisional Government. A levee of 30,000 men to recruit the army was ordered. . Requisitions were forthwith transmitted to all the principal places tit the Republic, for an immediate furnishing of their respective quotas of men. Fue bla and the whole ol the towns within a circuit of 50 or 60 leagues of the metropolis, are slated to have complied with the greatest alacrity. A regiment was immediately raised in Puebla on the arrival thereof the news of the levy of 3J.OU0 men. To lacillitate the arming and equipping of tiiis larye body of troops the Government have ordered that duties on munitions ot war shall cease to be levied until further notice. In view of this extensive armament of the Mexican people, end, putting implicit faith in tne truta of the preceding news, (ot iheir authenticity we can have no reasonable doubt, Irom the source through which they reach us,) it would be madness to temporise any longer with this iulaiuraied people. The war must now be prosecuted with vigor; such indeed, seems by tbe late Intelligence Irom Washington to be the course traced out by our Administration. If any hope has ever been entertained ol a pacific policy on the part of Santa Anna, Ihey must be abandoned . II is lute conduct shows that he bus trown oil" the mask, il he ever wore the semblance of a friend ot ueace. He bus counselled his countrymen to a war a outrance to draw the sword and fling away the scabbard to combat for existeice which means to exterminate or txpel ua liom the soil. FROM SANTA FE, The St. Louis papers contain what purousto be intelligence irom the Atmy under lien Kear ney at Santa Fe. Much ol the news we know to be incorrect such Tor instance as Puiedes marching wilh 15,001) men agiiust Gen. vool ut Chihuahua! . It is pretty certain, we think, ihat Taredes i about this U.ne in Havana ii itsquite as probable that tile story ol 500 men, the "flower of the Mexican foice," said lo he on their way lo attack Lieu. Keniney, is also tlie offspring ol idle rumor. The St. l.ouis Republican ot the lOili inst. says: From letters written about the let of September. e learn that Gin. Kearney Was suil at Santa Fe. He had given orders lor the movement of tlie troops on an expedition aboul one hundred and tifiy miles in tne interior. Tiny were to leave on the 2d September, and would, it was supposed, ho absent about iwo weeks. By the 'tunc ot their return, it was expected thai the Mormon liuttuliuu ol Infantry, under the command ot Lieut. Col. Sniuh, would have arrived at Santa Fe, and then the expedition uainat Cuialornia was to coiunieiire. lo- tins expectation they would be, however disappoint ed,as letters Irom Col. Smlil:, written on Ihe route say, 'mat he would not be able to reach Shiiiu Fe beloro the 1st ol October. It had been determined that the two compinies of dragroons under the command ot Cnpis. Moor-e and Cook, and I lie battalion of Mormon iulautry, were to accompany Gen. Kearney on the expedition to Cuiiloruiu. .None ol the Missouri volunteers were to be employed in this service. We further learn, that alter the departure ol Gen. Kearney, the remainder ol the loice was lo be divided, Une.hulfol it was to remain at Santa Fe; including the battalion ol arnlery under the command of Maj.'Clark, aud a couipa ny of dragoons undej1 Capt! Summer. The re; maiiitler ol the lorce under Col. Ddllipliian, was to nrftrcli to Chihuahua, there luti attached to Gen, Wool's army. It was supposed thai he would arrive there. in October. Ge.v. Wool's Route. The accounts reeeived at Washington Irom San A ntonto are not so hue as our own, but are iu a more authentic shape. WjTcopy the lollowing Irom the Union ol the Ii t U inst: Official despatches have been received fmn Geti. Wool, as late us the I5ih September Irom Sun Antonio, which state thut everything is be ing done to hasten the march ot the troops to rn that place, and that boats for the transportation of ihe army across the Rio Grande, which is reported to. be high, would be teady in the course of that week. He probably made his lorwaid movement by tiie 21 at ol September, and before this lime is lull upon his route to Chihuahua, Gen. Wool was to. send forward his advance (COO regulars nnd 1-200 volunteers) on llio 21st viid and iMd;the remainder ol the lorce, not exceeding 1200 men, to follow immediately ut ter. IJia route would be to ilie r "esuiio sentu Rosa, thence to Chihuahua, and he might proba bly take Mouclova in his route, it being- only seventy five miles Irom Santa Kosu. V e take the lollowing extract from a letter. with the perusal of which we have been la vored dated ; Camargo, 19ih Sept. 124G.

THE DETAILS OF THE SE1EGE AT MnYTF.TfF.V

MONTEREY. The intelligence brought by the James L. , Day, steamer, of three day's seige of Monterey was of imposing and fearful interest, but Ihe: details of that sanguinary aud bloody contest are looked for with more intense enxiety than we have ever seen evinced since the tocsin of war sounded, the drums beat to arms in Texas and Mexico. The opinion prevails that the story of the slaughter of our brave Army, officers and men, has not been told. There are gentlemen in our midst attached to the profession of arms, whose judgment in such mailers is entitled lo high regard, who express ihe opinion that tbe number of killed and wounded of our brave countrymen, in the three day's conflict is greatly underrated. These officers are conversant with the history of battles of this character (where the advantages are all on the side of the besieged party) andudging from the past, they cannot believe that the number ol our troops who fell martyrs to their heroic valor, can be as small as it has been represented. Should the judgment of these officers not prove faulty in this particular (but we devoutly pray it may.) The detailed accounts expected by the slearner McKim, will be of mournful, heart-rending tnterist. J he .ucKun is hourly looueu lor, and we will lose no lime in spreading whatever intelligence we may receive by her, belore our readers. Ar. (J. Tropic. Extension of empire.

It concludtd as lolluws: "Again with war, and tflorts to destroy credit, the poor man's capital, comes another revolution, proposed in the ihumier of levying and taxing duties at our Cusioiu-flouse. for tlie first tune in the history ot anj' civilized Government, a univeisal, horizontal system ol ad valorem duties, upon any thing and every thing, has been resolved uj on. llerealter,wbat we stiull pay at the Custom House, is to be decided at Genoa, Hamburg, Lyons. Havre, London, or Liverpool, rather than at New York! Never belore did a nation put it in the power of loreioners to levy us taxes! II we import too much under these loose templing ad valorem?, foreigners under the new Turiti'ol i 846, with their loreign irt 'oices. will sack us ol our specie, while ollice-hoiders under the Sub'1 re usury Act, sack us also. In all this new Tii rill', we feel that ho.me is sacriiiccd, our own Labor given up, and our own Mechanics surrounded to loreign competition, and loreign wages ot labor, with no edequate remuneration. Time tlie eternal and certain arbiter of all things will show we are right. "Now to rescue us liom these wrongs existing, and dangers, impending. Men ot Net" York, 3our presence before the billot-box is necessary. We reiterate then the cry tvi:ii which we started, 'Tukn Out !' "Teas Ocn !" Turn out from the mountain top and Irom the valley'! Turn out from ihe" work-shop and Irom the farm-house ! - Drop the plow handle throw down the fore-plain, the irowtl,ihe hammer, and the pick axe, and put nut tti it fire tlrai is consuming our Republic ! before it is aifain, as f . out I83t lo U-4IJ, a friihilui caiifl .g ranou. 'Turn out! one and all Irom Luke Eie to Muntauk Point! The engine you are to man, men, is that ol the Cataract Suite, it can at once extinguish this Adminictriiiion, just as it von poured upon it, in one lull flood, your own Niagara. Turn out, lurn out, then, we repeal, henceforth until the 3d o! November. Remember a lull voie is a Whig victory. Cnly turn, out, then, and stop not till we can say, "all's wkllV again. DIKI On the 24th nisi, in the 8ih year of his age Thomas Ver.no, simof Thomas M. Archer. - - . And shall my bleeding heart arraign Tnat Go i, whose ways are love! Or vainly cherish anxious pain For him who rests above? No! let me rather huuiHy pay Obedience to his will. And wilh my inmost spirit siy, "The Lord is righteous still."
