with approbation.
There is a species of amusement
participated in by some of the 1:uls of our
Village, every afternoon, which, in our
humble opinion, had better be stopppd before
it is tco Into. We allude to the practice
of shooting bats in the streets. We did
think that the numerous melancholy acci
dents which wo chronicle weeic after week,
ought to be a sufficient warning to our citizens
to have a stop put to it immediately.

We publish,this week, in anothercoiumn,

interest whatever, from the armv.
We have been anxiously waiting, for a

Chancellor Harper.?The numerous
friends of this distinguished jurist will be
happy to learn that he has recovered from
his recent attack of illness, and that his
health is now better than it has been for a
long time past.
Ilearj/ Loss.?It is estimated that the
losses bv Itlunder of the United fitntos trains
in Mexico, amount to 85,000,000. This
is certainly a largo amount. From all the

$2,000,000 would cover tli is business of the

numerous friends jn Charleston were
pleased to find him in the enjoyment of excellent
health and spirits, and regret that it
was not convenient for him to have remained
longer among them. It would
have been very gratifying to his constituents
in this part of the State if his engagements
would have permittod him to receive
a public manifestation of their approval of
his public course, so universally felt by
them. We trust yet to have that gratiticafirm

the whole management of the war, he
averred that it had been utterly disgraceful.
He stated that hc should go to Washington,

Arrival at Puebla?JJv.
The steamship Galveston, Captain Havi- I
land, arrived yesterday from Vera Cruz,
having touched sit Tampico, Brazos and
Galveston. JShc left Vera Cruz on the
lath instant.
I}y tliit; arrival we are. in possession of;
advices from Puebla to the Oth of August?
just one week later than wo had before received
Our letters were brought through
from Puebla to Vera Cruz by a courier desnatched
exclusivelv for this office. The
nows is important.
General Scott was still at Puebla on the
Oth iust., but the army was to take up the
lino of march the next day for the oily of
Mexico. General Twiggs's division leaving
on the 7ih} General Cluitman's on the
8th, General Worth's on the 9th, and (Jen.
Pillow's on the 10th. Colonel Chijds remains
in command at Puebla.
General Pierce arrived at Puebla on tho
6th inst.?not on the 2nd inst, as some ol
our contemporaries stated, lie lost not a
single man on his march, notwithstanding
" another severe battle with the guerrillas."
The most agreeable news by this arrival
is the escape of Major Gaines and Passed
Midshipman Rogers from the city of Mexico,
and their safe arrival at General Scott's
headquarters. They were of course not
under parole at the time they left Mexico.
The particulars will be found in the letters
below from Mr Kendall. I lis letters mention
an affair between Captain Rufl*, of the
rifles, with his command, and a Mexican
guerrilla party, in which the latter was entirely
routed. Mr. K.. also writes us of the
death of Lieut. Ilill. of the 2nd Draffoons.
and I)r. Hainncr, of the South Carolina
Regiment. Wo need not refer more particularly
to his loiters which abound in
interest.
From Vera Cruz, too, the news is important.
The train which left Vera Cruz on
the evening of the Gth inst., has been attacked
about 21 miles from Vera Cruz;
indeed, a line Us commenced shortly after
leaving that city. The escort to the train
under command of Major Lally, of ihe 9th
Infantry, Colonel Wilson being down with
vtdlow fever. We have confidence that the fbl
lowing is a more correct report of the principal
affair than that of the Sun of Anahuac.
It is from an officer of intelligence, and is
to the iatest date:
Camp at Brigade, *21 miles from Vera Cruz,
August 11, 1847.
Gentlemen?The command under Maj.
Lally was met by the guerrillas yesterday
in force at Passo Oncja, one mile in the rear
of this camp, about 3, P. M. Attacks were
made in front, in rear, and upon the centre
of the train, and they were repulsed at all
points, and we advanced to this encampment.
Our force *vas well distributed for
the defence of the train, the force in the rear,
being nearly as long as in front, and a
guard of two companies in the centre of the
wagons, and flankers along side of the train
throughout.
But our loss is severe, two officers being
severely wounded. Captain James H.
Caldwell, of the Voltigeurs, and Captain
Arthur C. Cummins, of the 11th Infantry,
the former a nativo of Maryland, the latter
ot Virginia. Ten men, non-commissioned
officers and privates, are wounded. None
L-M Iml nntrwrlit O no hoc /linrl
?> uiu r\iiiV/U wuli v/u v iiuj ui?/u cuiv/vj
and some perhaps dangerously wounded.?
Elopes are yet entertained for the recovery
of the two Captains, if we can send them to
Vera Cruz. I believe that the commanding
officer has sent to Vera Cruz for a detachment
of horse to escort ambulances to
take back the bounded which may accumulate
by thetiino we reach the National
Bridge. We arc 1,000 strong, with a
train of seventy wagons, and the troops all
raw and comparatively uninstructed. But
I think we will make our way through securely;
nerhaos fijrhtins: our way for manv
days. We are about twelve miles from the
National Bridge, and we move on a few
miles to day.
The sun says eight men were killed on
our side, and that Captain Loyell's Georgia
mounted men killed twenty-five of the
enemy in a charge. Governor Wilson immediately
ordered up reinforcements. Captain
Fairchild's company started at once to
go up, and Captain Seefeld's of the Louisiana
battalion, were also ordered up. A
gentleman who came over on the Galveston,
saw the latter leaving the city. Captain
Besancon's company was absent on a scout
when the news reached Vera Cruz of the
danger of the train. When he returned,
he would bo ordered up, and other forces
were to be sent forward. The' verbal reports
are that the Americans had thirty men
wounded in this skirmish and asjjmany
horses killed. It is not to be concealed, that
seriousJTed'rg aro felt for the safety^* this
train. ^The Mexicans have made extensive
preparation# to harrass it and ^a&'it off if
possible. IWe are-informedjJlBirihe num

number. The Mexicans are under the
impression that the train takes up a million
of dollars in specie?so says the Boletin of

at Vera Cruz.' The Boletin prays

God that the guerrillas and national guard I
together may succeed in cutting off the
train. The National Bridge is the point
vvhexe the decisive action is expected.?
There was a report in Vera Cruz, that the
guerrillas had destroyed a part of the bridge
and erected defensive vvorks there. The
latest number of the Sun of Almhuae sets
down the number of the guerrillas at 4000.
Led on by the hope of a rich booty, they
must not be expected to desist from their ,
attacks so Jong as a chance remains for |
them.
Two men belonging to the train lagged
behind on the second day's march from :
Vera Cruz, and were cut off by the Mexicans.
One of them was horribly mutilated, |
both legs being cut off below the knees.?
He died immediately, The other was so

Return of General Paretics to Mexico.?
Jlis successful Escape into the Interir.
The steamship Alabama, Mapt. Windle,
arrived this morning from Vera Cruz, having
sailed thence on the 15th inst.
Quite the most important news by this
arrival is the return of Gen. Paredes to
Mexico. At last accounts he was at Paris.
He reached Vera Cruz on the 14th inst., in
the English royal mail steamer Tcviot, un
der an assumed name. 1 he steamer was
telegraphed about 0 o'clock in the morning
from the.castle. Ft em ilia steamer herself
a private signal was thrown out, known
only to English merchant*, that a distinguished
personage was on board. Preparation
was made for his immediate reception
by his friends, but all was still as midnight.
The steamer anchored and Don
Martino, passenger from Havana, leaped
into the first boat lying alongside, landed on
the mole, nnd went to his friend, Pepe Zamora,
borrowed forty ounces, three horses,
hat, coat, and servant, and was past the
gates in less than thirty minutes, with a
fast hone and a clear track.
The mail from the steamer in the meantime
came on shore. Among the letters
were some to the Collector and others from
Gen. Campbell, our Consul nt Havana, disclosing
the fact that Gen. Marino Paredes
y Arrillaga, ex-President of Mexico, had
taken passage on the steamer, nnd direct*
tng them to look out for him. The information
came an hour too late; the bird had
flown. We gather these facts from one of
_l . _ i?i
our correspondents, ana oeiow we give a
letter from another, without having time to
ponder upon his speculations as to the influence
of the return of Paiodes upon the

Correspondence of the Picayune.
Vera Cruz, Aug. 14.
It is with mortification and regret that I
have to inform you that Gen. Pa redes passed
through our city this morning, about
7 o'clock, in disguise, and before it was ascertained
that such was the case, he was far
out of our reach on his way to the city of
Mexico.
He arrived this morning on the royal
mail steamer Teviot, under an assumed
name, and entirely unknown to the captain
ol the vessel. As soon as the vessel came
to anchor he immediately came to the Mole
in a pilot boat, anil proceeded to tho heart
of (he city to the residence of a Mexican
merchant,to whom he made himself known,
and obtained from him a lound-jacktt, a sum*
i bnro and horses for himself and servant,
i and "bamoscd the ranch" without ceremony.
! One hundred dollars reward was offered
for his arrest as soon as information reach:
ed Col. Wilson that he was or had been in
the city, and every eflbrt was made to ar;
rrst him,hut the '-bird had flown" and given
! us a specimen of assurance and cunning
that would do credit to tiie father of Yankee
tricks.
! The Mexican merchant who assisted in
the escape is repe Zamora, ami during this
search for Paredes his house was surrounj
(led. The oflicer entered and was assured
; by Mr. Zamora that Paredes was not in
the house. "Has he been here," was the
question asked. ;'Yes," replied Zamora
| very coolly. ''What did he want," asked
the American. ''He introduced himself to
me as CJen. Pa rede?, and asked me to be:
friend him, and L told him that I would.
lie then asked me to let him have a jackJ

suit of his return from exile.
The Pinon Pass, Near tub City op
Mexico.?Wc glean the following description
of the Pinon Pass'from the N. Y. Sun,
I It is only sixteen miles from the Capital,
| and it is probable that if Scott met with any
j resistance at all from Santa Anna, it was
j there offered him :

x iiu i i iiuti JL uoo to on IIIU |;uuvi^ui
j road from Mexico to Puebla, sixteen miles
) from Mexico and sixty nine miles from
! Puebla. It is a narrow gorge between two
' volcanic mountains, about sixty rods wide,
I and the fortifications, which are built in the
| form of a half circle from mountain to
| mountain are about eighty roils in length.
The fortifications are composed' of stone
and earth of great strength, and are capable
I of mounting forty heavy cannon. Toward
! Puebla, the fortifications have a perfect con
non shot range tor more than a mile and a.
half, sweeping the entire road. Near the
mountain to the right, going toward Puebla,
on a high eminence, Santa Anna has erected
an Observatory, safe from cannon shot,
from which he intends watching the expected
battle. In case of defeat he has secured hi*
retreat to the Capital by a private path. A
battery of cannon has also been placed 0.11 a
hill to the right of the road beyond the Pass
towards Puebla. Some defences are also
erected on the two mountains which form
the Pass. The spot is admirably situated
? _ j.p i _ /-< :._i _ .1 j i .i_ _ c
iu ueicnu mo oapiuu, unci in uiu minus ui
any body hut Mexicans, would be impassable.
Santa Anna's Observatory is nearly
thirty feet higher than any of the surrounding
hills. Upwards of 30,000 men were
at work on the fortifications when our cou?
rier left. There is but one other road at all
practicable, by which the American .force
could advance, the "Annunciation" totho
South of the Puebla road, and this is defended
by still more difficult passes. There
is a road still South of this, but it is a mero
mule path. The probability is that Gen,
Scott's delay has forced another bloody battle
UDon our trooDS. which would have been
avoided had he marched directly from Corra
Gordo upon the Capital. Ere this, the hattie
has been probably fought, and we, wait
anxiously to chronicle the history of Gen.
Scott's reception at Pinon Pass."
