Now tint lipneril MrOonncH cd-and jr-m. pn ,le jegm to remember that there wore brgii' spots in his character. I knpv bun hm j ag i in Ma'iun.i. an.l while he w in Congress and jnme of the newspapers and letter-writers were handling him roughly, he would oi'ten come to ma, on aoc uiKi nt' our old a ?iiuaiiitinocslii), perhaps At. wiili tears ih his eyes.bpg of me la imeicwle in his behalf. A: try to get the ed itors and letter-writers afoiessid to let him thine. He would eay he asked it, not for Ins own s ike but ror his s ike of his excellent wife and children. On these occasions I more than once told him ihat he knew as well s. he could told, iu-h could put n stop to the abuse he complained of. He wmild reply. "I know its I know it; you would hive rc Btip drinkibg and frolick -iiiff r4 shut uu thia walking nrocery! Hut J'"" ,l- ,n, " : V . .1 .k I l . .-1 i .nantt tima and it is impossble. 1 can't stop, but must fi on." I once asked him what he expected his end would bel He replieJ seriously for he was sober that he knew not. His wife, he said, was good christian, ami would goto Hesven. He hoped bis children would,- but as for hiinseli, he could only say that at one period ofhiabfe he was, for thirteen months, sincere exhorter in tha chiHch. and if the (iod above did not Inok- baek to thai period of his life with a favorable eye, and save him, wby then he would be lost, for he could do nothing r..ow toward Baviug h;4aself it was too late! Poor Mac pence to hisashe! jMt nives ns pleasure to state that the damage done to the Kail Road near this my by the recent flood, is not a 3 great as was anticipated. The IJ ard of Directors were in session last waek. They orderCMi -a trusKel bridge to ba coastructed to supply the loss 01 the culvert. This will be completed in a few weeks, and will last, it is supposed, some five years, in the-meantime the Company will at thieir leisure repair permanently the damage Hone. Many of our citizens here think that it would be good policy to abandon the plane altogether, and that it would be advantageous both to the Company and the city to construct a Macadamised road for the the transportation ol goods and passengers between the top of the hill and the river, lla Hoard of Djrecters urc persuaded that the expense to the Company of transportation in ordinary carriages and wagons would be entirely too heavy, and they are compelled from necessity (for the present at leas!) to keep up the inclined plane. We are int'ermed that there is a plan on foot by which steam power will bi used on the plane altogether, and thus dispense with the use of horses. The Company are about to get an engine so constructed as to be used on the plane ns well as on the level .Madison. Banner. Mr. Wick, in his speech here, last Saturday, in his attempt to ecreen himself from censure. for voting ag3nsl raising the pay o the volunteers, let out some things in regard to the way they do things up in I W ashington rity that was entirely new to nn, and we doubt not wiil be to our readeM.

This was the case, he said, w hen the bill to raise the pay of t!:e voluntaers, was before the Honse of Representatives. The Chairmen of the different committees, were sliding through the Democratic side of the House, instructing the People's R representatives how the President desired thrui to vote! .Mr. W. admitted that he followed those instruc tions and justified himself by saying that j he was a p''iy man that lie was sent to i Conoress because he was a Poik and Dal- ) H 1 lill auu l ' i I : las Klector and was bound to support the j Party, nght ot wrong.

The scene was beautiful beyond descriptionbeautiful, not because ol any display of gaudy uniforms, for every officer and man was in '"undress," or every day working attire but beautiful in conse quem e ol the precision and promf.itude with which every order was executed. riiere were six regiments of infantry, one artillery battalion acting as infantry, and j two batteries of light artillery. The gen - ! eral, of course, received a salute from the latter. These two batteries are commanded by Duncan and Bragg, two as fine officers as the service contains. The 7th infantry, under Captain Miles, which is encamped in the plaza, marched down and joined in the review. This is a splendid regiment, and is in the most perfect state of discipline. It w ill Le remembered that the 7ih was in the battle of New Orleans, and distinguished itself there. Its present officers, though not many of them persona. ly acquainted with him, frequently speak with great respect ol Major Piere, of New Orleans, who com:i anded the regiment at the battle and on the Sih of Jan - nary.

The mure I see of Gen. Taylor the more I am impressed with the conviction that he is a man of extaordinary ability, and the very man to occupy the place he does. The regulars who are to operate against .Montery, or rather that portion of the army on ihe Rio Grande, have been tecognized, as follows: Gen. Twicg's command first division. 3d brigade, composed of 3d and 4th infantry, commanded by Col Garland; 4th. brigade, composed of the 1st and 21 infanlry, under Col. Riley, regular cavalry, and Capt.

Rlanchard's company of (Louisiana volunteers are attached to this division. This is a high honor to Captain Ulan-c'nard-and to his company. I should have remaiked that Col. P. F. Smith, of the newly made mounted riflemen, (regulars.) appeared in the review to-day, in command of the . 2nd brigade. This command he will retain during the war. Major Sanford, in anticipation of his promotion, has been assigned to lhe command of lhe 8th infantry, his place in the 5th being filled by Capt. Martin Scott. The fist brigade will march day after tomorrow, 19ih, in the direction of Montery. They will establish a depot on the Mier route at Seralvo, about 00 miles distant from Camargo. Two companies of ColWood's regiment of Texan horses will accompany the brigade, to escort ihe train of pack-mules on their return to this place. The whole ol Gen. Worth's division will be in motion in tho course of lhe week. II. Camargo Mexico, Aug. 21, 1S4G. Night before last General Worth crossed the San Juan with one brigade of his division, to wit. the artillery battalion actot I ing as infantry, "red-legged infantry," and , f:,, c. .

When General Worth left, the active command of the forces at this place devolved on Colonel P. F. Smith, General Taylor giving general directions, cf course as he did when General Worth was here. Col. nel Smith's brigade consisting of the 5ih and 7ih regular icfantry, and the Louj isiana volunteers, under Captain Blanch j ard are ordered to move acros the San i Juan to-morrow, and will take up their line of march for Seralvo on Monday or Tuesday nest.

There is a report current at this point, brought by persons from Malamotas, that Mier and Monterey have both been taken, and ore now in possession of the Americans. This report is credited by many intelligent gentlemen here, while others express doubts of its correctness. The troops are stationed at short distances from Point Isabel to Camargo, on or near the River. The health is as good as the season of the year and the inactive condition of the troops could wll warrant. Some of them however are sick, and I have j met five of the Indiana volunteers on their 1 way home. Cne of their number, by the name of Morgan they leave here, for the reason l!:at he is too low to go on board cf ship. I think him past recover. He will be taken to the hospital where he will be well attended. We left New Orleans on the evening of the 27th on board the steamer M Kim, and had a pleasant voyage (baring a little sea sickness.) being out from port to port 3 days and 4 nights. The distance from New Orleans to Brazos Santiago, is about j COO rpiles, 19J of which is acioss the Gulf i stream. There is an immense depot of U. Sates stores here, and some twenty or;norere6- ! sels in port, laden with all of the nianT articles necessary for every department of I warlike preparations, such as bacon, flour, j coffee, sugar, bean"; peas, molasses, bread, j krout, onion. A:c., in the provision line ..,.,, i.. ui uic jJiuviamu illie. There are also large number, of mules. oxen, wagons, oats, corn, tents, tent ringing, tarpaulins, and every imj.liiv.ent cf mechanical use, such as blacks iniths,Coopers, carpenters, wagon makers, and several other branches. There are several Govern ment storc-ho 1ses on this peninsula, made of lumber brought from New Orleans. Immense quantities of stonecoal is also brought here fron: New Orleans, for the use of the steamers, as fuel is remarkably scarce on or near this plac. There are probably 300 or COO persons here engaged in receiving, hauling and lorwarding the 6iipplies. One eom.iauy of regular soldiers is all the armed fort e wbieii is stationed here at present. The place is a poor Hit sand bcch wkb some sand knolls io its centre, and is alone valuable as a lauding place for vessels drawing from 7j to 6 feet water. Several wreckea vessels mark the da.nj.-er of its en-. trance, and show a large sacrillca of public and private property. Two of tho steamers lately sent to the Rio Grande have lately blown up, bursting their boilers and killing several persons. Point Isabel, by water, from here, is only about 5 miles in a westerly direction, and lha mouth of the Rio Grands is about!, miles in a routh eastern direction. Tho ocean coist is very rough, showing heavy breakers occasioned by tie bars over which the waves beat. As I progress in my travels you shall hear from me. Yours, A. F, MORRISON. News from Kexico.
