.DCPCOLONEL PAYNE.-Thisgallan officer, who was so severely woun ded at the battle of " liesaca de 1; Palma," arrived in Baltimore las night by the Susquehanna Rail road and took lodgings at Bar num's. He has so far recoverei from his wound as to be able t< walk pretty well on crutches. H< brings with him a number of tro phies of the two battles, consisting of eighteen standards of flags banners, lances, spears, &c Among them is the famous an< beautiful flag, remarkable for it: elegantly worked Eagle, bearing the inscription, " Battallion Guer dacoste Tampico*" This trophy was torn from its staff by a Mexi can soldier in the heat of the bat tie, who put it into his hat. H< was subsequently taken prisoner and the flag preserved. Th< health of the vet jran Colonel, w< regret to see, is much impaired and he is but a shadow of what h< was when hft lpft tllf> /inmrnonjl ? Fort Mclleny to join the army a the South. He will leave here to morrow lor Washington with the trophies which will be depositee in the War Department. Captains Hunter and Kerr Lieutenants Saunders, Lowry, ant Jones, of the Dragoons, have alsc arrived in Baltimore from the seal of war. They were all gallanl and brave participants in the battles on the Rio Grande. Tt -1>- * Mjuuimore irairioi, i lift, inst. DC?3 In the Washington Correspondence of the New York Journal of Commerce we find two 01 three paragraphs which commend themselves to attention :? "Some few months ago, Mr. Rejon, one of the most, eminent oi the Mexican statesmen, said to a citizen of the United States that iVlexico would never be regenerated without a long war with the United States. A war, he said, was necessary to break down thcj military despotism that had sc long crushed the liberties and the spirits of the Mexican people. Mexico, he said, or rather her Government must be conquered, before the people could ever attain their rights." "We must do another thing, and do it immediately?take all the Mexican ports, and give to Mexico through them. wh;itshe h s never enjoyed, a free trade. Give them o:r cotton goods without, any duty. They will be excellent customers, paying in million, hides and wool, &c.

Miller, after a short illness of four days. A hearty response will , be readily given by all intimate with the deceased, that she was a devoted ; wife, a kind and affectionate mother. . and an exemplary christian. Removed in the bloom of life, in the bright anti. cipationsof future prospects, from a cir| cle of numerous friends to an early tomb, a lasting impression will remain of her ' winning deportment, her auniable and ' gentle disposition.?Communicated. DIED, at his residence, in this District, on the 4th instant, in the 74th year [ of his age, Mai. JOHN CHILES This excellent man has left the example of a well spent life, worthy of all 1 imitation. As Sheriff of this District. ' and as a member of the Legislature, he filled public office with such meekness, fidelity and integrity, as Tequited the fa" vor of his fellow-citizens, which bestow1 ed it. > But it was at home, in the discharge ' of his social and domestic duties,, that his r unpretending usefulness was most felt, f and will long be missed. Kind, sincere l and Dure, with a clear . and a temper imperturbable, he pursued I the right in a most gentie manner, but at the same time gave evidence not to be mistaken of a firmness which no inHur ence could sway to the wrong. Equal5 ly removed from party asperity and from f apathy to public affairs, he was earnest ; and active in all his duties as a citizcn, bat so tolerant and forgiving that his ardent love of his country and indepon, dent maintenance of his own opinions begot no personal strife with those who differed from him. For more than thirty years he was a deacon in the Baptist Church, and humbly labored to make i his conduct suitable to his professions. As a christian, citizen, neighbor, friend, master, brother, father, husband he was > virtuously eminent, in a degree far beyond what the unassuming simolicitv of # w M / his deportment might suggest to those who did not know him intimately. , With his good constitution and tem perate habits he enjoyed health uninterupted till near his end. By a second marriage he left five young children : some too young to have profited by his lessons, or even to have personal remem- i berance of him ; but his good works will i remain to bear testimony of the worth, while it must be a consolation to his widow and elder children to treasure in their memories. P. DIED, on Saturday the 10th instant, near Abbeville, MARY JANE, daughter of John and Margarette Wier, in the 21st year of her age. She but recently attached herself to the Presbyterian Church, Upper Longcane. In her death, cut down in thn morn ing of life The afflicting thought brings sadness and melancholy home to the hearts of the many who loved her, and who will never more on earth, behold her cheerful lace, nor hear again her welcome voice. The Church mingles her grief with this afflicted and bereaved family, who by this dispensation, have had another sorrow added to their cud of bitter wn ter?called before to drink, in the death of another beloved daughter. Shortly before her death, (and sensi ble she was about to pass over Jordan,) she said to her father : " She had once j ' thought, that fears and tears would both , harrass her when she come to die; but now, not so, she was not afraid to die." No doubt, that then she leaned on Jesus for repose, and found it. O! her parents have hope, and a good hope in her death, carrying to their bosoms the sweetness of sanctified religion?"there j is no sweetness like it." ] "One family, we dwell in Him, One church above, beneath : 1 Though now divided by the stream, ' The narrow stream of death."
