Before daylight the sick and wounded of
this little party were removed to Santa Anna's
hacienda?a quarter of a mile from the
bridge. A scouting party was then sent j
out, and also a party to clear the bridge, I
'which was done without any opposition, i
The main body of the party then passed |
over the Bridge. Every thing appearing i
then to be safe, and all danger being passed !
Lieut. M'Williams and Mr. Frazer were j
sent back to bring on the train on the other :
side of the bridge. Just as they were en- j
;tering the bridge, a party of twenty-five j
Mexicans appeared on the ridge, and fired j
several vollies on them. The wagon mas- j
tor and four others, who were passing the I
:bridge, were fired on and the whole five ;
were killed, and a wagon was captured, of
no great value.
After the lire had ceased, a party of lan cers
appeared on the bridge and |seeined to
De preparing to ctrirge, but seeing that
Captain Bain bridge's pujty were preparing
to receive them, they wheeled the horses
and galloped ofl*.
Cap' in Bainbridgc resumed his march
in good order, followed by 4U0 or 500 of
the lancer?, who hung upon his rear and
flanks for four or five miles, but at a respec* j
table distance. Thus hemmed in, this lit- ;
tie party pursued its way until it arrived at
the Pass of La Voilta, where Col. Mcintosh |
had encamped with his large train. The
Mexicans who had attacked B.iiubridge's
party were the same who had compelled
Col. Mcintosh to halt and wait for rein- i
tbrcements. The party remained that night !
in Mcintosh's camp, and during the w hole <
time the Mexicans kept a continual lire on
the camp, approaching, with the greatest
boldness, very near to our sentinels.
On the next day Captain lJainbridge's
party resumed its march to Vera Cruz, being
joined by Capt. Duporu's Dragoons, who
were sent back to get their horses. This
company, with its gallant Captain, had behaved
very handsomely in the attack on
Mcintosh's camp. Its gallantry was the
theme ol universal praise anil admiration
in the army. Indeed, it was generally admitted
that Col. Alrlntosh's command was
saved by the gallantry of Duperu's party.
Bainbridge's party continued their march to
Vera Cruz, where they arrived in safety.')
In thp iiip:ilitirni! I )urnpm's nnrlv lmviiwr :i !
long return train to guard, and being threatened
by a large body oi lancers, halted at
Santa Fe, where they were charged by a
greatly superior force, which they gal!amlv
repulsed, killing many of the enemy, and
suffering no lo.ss themselves. It was said,
however, that some of our wagons were cut
ofTandthedrivers taken prisoners. Captain
Duperu arrived safely in Vera Cruz, having
lost three killed and three wounded.
On the day Captain Bainbridge's parly !
left Mcintosh's camp Gen. Cadwallader had j
arrived, with a force of 8UU men and i
iwu iiuw JL iiu i\\ u turnwere 1
then joined, making, in all, about 1GU0 men. i
with two howitzers,under command of Gen.
Cadwallader, and pushed 011 towards the
National Bridge.
On approaching the bridge General ;
Cadwallader occupied the heights comman |
ding the bridge, from which the enemy had |
iiredon Coptain Bainbridge's party, where j
he was attacked by a large force of the 1
Mexicans, posted in tin: ridges and ehapar- '
ral, and some hard fighting was carried 011 j
for several hours, the. Mexicans losing some 1
15 killed and some 30or 40 wounded. The j
Mexicans were repulsed; the bridge was;
successfully passed by Gen. Cadwallader, !
who was on his way to Jala pa.
'i he estimated loss of Col. Mcintosh's i
party is about 840.01)0. For miles the road !
is strewed with empty boxes and bacon
sides, which had been captured by the enemy.
There is a great deal of dissatisfaction
in the army, respecting the conduct of
the command which hud charge of this !
train. There will be a court of inquiry i
into the subject.
The garrison at Jalapa has been broken j
up, by order of Gen. Scott, and all the sick \
and Government stores have been sent to i
Perote Castle, so that this line of communi- \
cation is entirely closed, (ieneral Scott
has had a road opened Irom Perote to Tux
pan, from which,in future, all our stores and
men will be sent, in preference to the old
road. The Engineer corps have completed
a fine road from Tuxpan to Perote, the distance
being less than one half that from
Vera Cruz to Perote, and Tuxpan being a ;
healthier place.
The success of the attack on Mcintosh's !
command has given great confidence to the j
guerrillas, who are swarming in great num- j
hers through the country, and attacking all
our parties, large and small.
It was chiefly owing to the gallantry of
Major Bennett, the Paymaster, that the specie
was saved. He was in one of them
himself when the wagon was attacked, and
fought like a tiger.
We are pained to hear that the fine char- j
ger sent out by the citizens of New Orleans j
to Col. Harney, was captured by the Mexicans.
Their daring was so great that they
even lariated a woman who was in the
wagon, but she was rescued by our men
after some hard fighting.
There are about 1,000 men in camp at
Vera Cruz.
General Shields was at Jalapa, and was
about to leave for the United States, when
he received an order from Gen. Scott to
join him at Puebla.
There are no preparations to defend any
point between Puebla and the Capital.?
Ail the odds and ends of the army are colcity,
about 20,000 in number,
* jfljfy a?d of miserable material.
YiMNi Wis * small pronunciamento at the
Mexico* which was easily put down
by Gen. Bustamente. It waa got up by
factions of the pracu party and of Gomez
Farias' party. Their cry was ''down with
Santa Anna!" but tho President ad interim
still maintains his power and influence, j
Congress lias refused to accept his reignation.
We have about 0000 men at Puebiu, un- j
der command of Worth and Quitman.
Gen. Scott will remain at Puebla until j
he is reinforced. Gen. liravo is in com- j
maud of the army at the Capital.
Santa Anna has published quite a lla- j
ming account of the allair between him and \
Gen. Worth, at Amozoque. The truth is:
that he had a large forcc of cavalrv. which I
was attacked by Co!. Duncan's battery ami 1
Maj. Bonneville of the Oth Infantry. He |
did not wait to receive morethanone volley, |
from which, however, he sustained a heavy
loss, and then fled in the wildest disorder :
towards the capital.
The gallant Capt. Walker has oomrnen- I
ccd his work of retaliation oti the guerrillas.
On the morning of the 7th inst., lie started
with his command from Perote on an expedition
seme distance into the interior. On- 1
ring the expedition he succeeded in captui
ingnineteen guerrillas and an Alcade?he !
has employed them in cleaning the streets :
and sinks. {
A letter had been received in Vera Cruz
on the 15th inst., previous to tho sailing of
the Galveston, direct from the head uuarters :
ol Gen. Scott, stilting1 that Gen. Scott had ,
issued orders lor the. removal of the govern- '
ment from Vera Cruz to Tuxpm. This
changh was said to be, in prat, owing to the
sickness of Vera Cruz, and because communications
could he more easily kept up
cetween Tuxpan and Pucbla than between
the latter place and Vera Cruz. All the
public stores in Vera Cruz would, in that
case, be removed to Tuxpan, and troops, only
sufficiently to garrison the place, left at
VeraCruz. The activity displayed among
the dflerent vessels in the harbour of Vera i
Cruz in shifting the cargoes from vessels 1
having but small portions of Government
property on board, into others nearly full,
with the evident iutentio of a move, would
go far to confirm the rumor of a change in

ALCOHOL,?TEMPERANCE, &c. 1
llenee, Mr. Editor, if what we have said,
in our n")r.tfdiu?j articles, in relation to alcohol,
as a great national, moral, mental, \
and physical evil, ho true, do not the moral i
principles of rectitude forbid that we should j
use it as a beverage ! Do not our moral j
obligations, to the claims of God, and to so- j
ciety forbid that we should encourage, in i
any way, any thiuu. whatever, that is so 1
destructive in its consoquencos as alcohol !
has positively proved itself to be? Here
when we consider the relative value of the
means of our happiness, both collectively

and humanity is slowly advancing, we
shall all be compelled to give an affirmative !
answer.
True, alcohol is an important ariic.ln of
the Materia Aledica, but hero it is not used
asabwerage. True, alcohol is often very
efficacious as a stiinulcnt in disease, when i
the vital powers aro rapidly on the decline; .
but hero the invalid does not sip it as a beverage.
True, alcohol is very essential in ;
the arts and sciences : but here it is not ta- I
Ut-n at all. j
Now is there anything good in alcohol
more than wo here admit? Have we not
now fairly admitted all its virtues, and with
equal fail ness portrayed its many evils Is
there any one, however hardy, who will
pretend to advocate its merits as a beverage?
Will the sotNo. Will the moderate
drinker? No. Will the patriot? No.
Will the christian ? No. Will the finer
sex? No. Here the mind irresistibly !
comes to the conclusion that Total Aitstainunce
from alcohol, as a beverage, is
the indispensible duty of every accountable
being, and every thing that is moral, noble,
