l mt instant, -report that the arrival of the steamer Britannia of M1ay"4th froin Liverpool; was announced by. Telegr'aph from New York to Philadelphia.. and that-the leading item. of - be ws by-her was the death of Louis Phillippe. The Baltimore Clipper also contains the above report..and adds the "sad event was im mediately followed-by a revolution." .It has been spread through the District, whether 'designedly or not, we cannot. tell, that our'meeting here on Saturday last, to raise Volunteers, was very near a failure. Now 'we take this occasion to say, that such a ru moris totally unfounded. We lhnd a most ad nuirable meeting; and instead of its hai-ing been broken up in a raw. as it has been asserted, everything was carried on in the best spirit imaginable. To be sure. towards the conchu sion of the proceedings, there was an animated little discussion, but if there was anything like an- ill naturcd controversy, we confess that we were wholly ign'orant of the fact, although we were present. There is a very wide difference between speaking warmly, and speaking in anger. The meeting, from the first, was not intended to be a large one, nor to be a meeting of all the citizens of Edgefield. The call -which was made through the papers, was addressed par ticularly, and in so many words. to the young men of the district, in order to give them an opportunity of volunteering for the Mexican war, and of consulting on the preparatory steps to be taken, to obtain their reception by the President of the United States; and we here take the liberty to say, and we are proud to be able to do so, that several young men of our ac. quaiutance who would do honor to any section of the country, most nobly responded to the call made upon their patriotism and the ir valor. The fact is, we were enabled, almost entirely to complete that day, one of the best volan. teer companies that has ever been raised in this part of the State.. There were no signatures obtained iri public, nor was there a call made for them in public, but ihere was a handsome number of as tadsome and gallant gentlemen, as there are is, the State. who enrolled their names as volunteers for the war. both in the morning and in the evening of Saturday Inst. The meeting was entirely military in its character, and it was got up solely far the put pose we have tnentidned, and. it subserved that purinose as well as any me.'eting could hirie done under the circunmstanceA.. We will state in coalmnhalon. that from the spirit and enihiasiastii nianifested in all plarts of our District, we are niorally certain. thuit when a requisiiion' is made upon South Carolmnia for trooprl. our Old EdgeSeid rill not only be equal to her duty,- lut she till send forth al most any number of her sons that may be cal led for.

Taylor on the Rio Bravo, that we are unable to say, which should be most relied on. We suppose, that none of them should he im'pilicit ly believed. That there have been battles, and that many vpluable. lives have been lost, atid that Geir. Taylor has gained a victory, no one can doulit, but we shall not get the truth of the matter, until it comes from the city of Wash ington. -The accounts are evidently exniggerated ini our favor. It need not be believed. for a mao ment, that we~have dest~royed so manyMei cans, and- done soiunch fatal execution, against such' powerful odds, without having sustained a very considerable loss. The disparity in the number of the forces enigaged in the twvo ac tions, catnnot lbe so'great a's has lyeeni represen W e have hopes though, that the two valua ble officers Brown antd Ringgold may not have beern slain. It may be "hoping against hope," but the latest accounts do not seem to us, to confirm- the tnews'of their death, so fully as the uiut Intelligence of the battle did. - npt Intelgece.-Tihe President hat r frytretouadfa ude men to ~euerolled an'd'ade ready, tobcc ekled 'irto public'service at any miinent.-.

Official Despatches to Gen.Gaines.-We have been politely favored with.:a peansal of the offi cial despatch addressed by Gen. Taylor to Gen. Gaines, dated front his camp on the field of battle, three miles from Matamoras, May. 9th, 1846. It does not; differ materially from the accounts of the ;tw'o engagements already laid before the public. On the 8th General T. drove the enemy from their position. and oc cupied it during the night. The loss in this con flict was 12 killed and 39 wounded. On the 9th, tihe army resumed its march, untill..it en con mtered the enemy, piotected, as stated in our exia, by a.rayine; with artillery on its ravine. This battery was stormed by Captain May's company of dragoons. The number killed and wounded ni our side couli not be ascer taind. Private accounts nake the niumber something over one hundred. In this second engagement. Lieut. Inge of the 2d Dragoons, Lieut. Cochrane of te 4th Infantry, and Lieut. Chadbourne of the nfan - try. were killed. Officers woummnded-Lient. Cole. Alclmtosh and Payne, Capts. Montgome ry and Hove, Lieutenanit Gaters, Miaclay, Selden, Burbank, Jordon, and -Fowler of the Infantry. The despatch states that the forces under Gen. Taylor were two thousand three hundred men. and they had to contend against 3,00 Mexicans of time regular army, atn? abont 2000 rregumlar cavalry. Ti'he tort opposite %latamoras has been near ly incessantly homnbarded during one hundred and sixty hours, during whit-h an immense enumber of:'-,t and shells were thrown :n it.

One of the most terrible disasters that has ever been occasioned by the winds or storms, in this part of the country. occur red on Thursday. May 14, about 8 o'clock, P M., on the plantation of Mr. James Perry, near Perry's Cross Roads. Saluda. The course of the wind. was about due North, and ranuing in width, from fifty to one hundred yards. The following are, as near as can be gathered, the particulars of the desolation it spread on the premises of Mr. Perry. His dwelling house was thrown down, and even the sills were rmoved. The roofs, and a few top logs were taken from the meat house and from rhe burn. The fetc ing, in some places, was swept even to the bottom rail. Some very large trees were blown down; two, in particular, were ta ken up by the roots, and broken off. and then carried to the distance of forty or fifty feet. A wagon. standing near the barm, was carried some fifty feet, and consider ably broken. A pig pen was bourne off. witt a pig in it, neither of which has ever been seen since. Amuut eightorrten hush els of corn was blown away, nod has never been found from that time. The house hold furniture was nearly all destroyed some blown entirely olf; and a large chest containing the most valuable wearing tip pamrel of the family. and all of ilr. P's papies, was carried comnpletely away. The chest w"as brokent into pieces, amtd some of its contetms were found a nmile from the place am which it started. But strange to relate, adbhoiagh there were temn in family, none of them were killed. Mr. Perry, hi-m wife, anid iwom chil dren, and two negroies were injutred, but none of them fatally. Andlwhait is stramng er still, two of the children hmad gone to bed. and the bedsteadl upon which they were lyimng. was bmlownm off and brokemn. amnd thei bed i'self "as turn into atoms, snnd the children were thrown into the road w ithouat receiving the slighmtest injury." here was noii a thing killed Ott the place, not even a chickent, so' far as could be as Thi- is . certainily, an instance of the overrulimng amnd wise Providence of God !
