-.. 21st nstanti, report that the arrival of the steamer Bitannia of May'4th Trom Liverpool, ~ was announced by Telegraph froni New Xark to Philadelphia.. and .that- the leading item of - -naws by -her .was the deathof L6ais Phillippe.. The Baltimore Clipper also contains'the above report..and adds the "sad event was im mediately followed-by a revolution." It'las been spread 'through the District, whether designedly' or not, we cannot. tell, that our reeting here on Saturday last, to raise Volunteers, was .very near a failure. Now we take this occasion to say, that such a ru nmor is totally unfounded. W'had a most ad iuirable meeting; and instead of its having been broken up in a row. as it has been asserted. every;thing was carried on in the best spirit imagiiable. To be-sure. towards the conclu sion o'fthe proceedings, there was an animated . little discussion, but if there was anything like an-ill-nitured controversy, we confess that we weri-whollyignorant of the fact, although we werepresent. 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-papeis, 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 var, and ofconsulting 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. quaintance who would do honor to any section of the country, most nobly responded to the call made upon their patriotism and the it valor. The fact is, we were enabled, almost entirely to complete that day, one of the best volun teer companies that has ever beeri raised in this part of the State. There were no signatures obtainedin public, nor was there a call made for them in public, but there was a handsome number ofas iaodsome and gallant gentlemen, as there are in the State. who enrolled their anies as volunteers for the war. both in the morning and in the evening of Saturday last. The meeting was entirely military in its character, and it was got up solely for the put pose we have toentidned, and it subserved that purjpse as well' as any meeting could haid done tuderythe.cirumstanceA. . We will state in. conth.slon. that fromh the spiritand enihiasi nianifested in all ports oIr otr Dlistrict, we are triotally certaio, that when a reqtriiilon' is mtde upon South Carohnia for troops, our Old Edgeie!d dill not only be equal to her duty, liut she will send forth al. most any number of her sons that may be cal led for.

WARDVUAW, Chairman. Jos'EmR Assay. Scerctary. Thib Lbte Victor.-T here are so many coh tradiciory accouttns oif the late battles of' Gdn. Taylor on the Rio Bravo, that we are unable to say, wvhiCh should be tmost relied on. We suppose. that none of them should be im'plicit ly believed. That there have been battles, and that many vgluablejlives have been lust, and that Get. Taylor has gained a victory. no one can doulit, hut wve shall not get the truth of the matter, until it comes from the city of WVash ington. . The-accounts are evidently exaggerated itn our favor. It need not he believed, for a mao ment, that we.have destroyed so many Mexi cans, and dJone somiuch fittal execution against such' powerful adds, without having sustained a very considerable loss. The disparity in the number'of the forces engaged in the two ac tions, cannot be so'great at's has been represen ted. - . - We have hopes though, that the two v'alua be oflicers Brown and Rinegold may not hav'e been slain. It may be "'hoping against hope," but thme latest accounts do not seem to us, to confirm the news oftheir deaih, so fully as the it intelligence of the battle did. .

With un so.ft perftime's offering~s They r~nce wvere won't to share ; They sighed as lovers sigh around, Azitd left, our l'eave.s tippn,' A wreat h of kisses sweetly bound WVhere. are the zephayrs gone? They loved us in Spring's earlier hours, Trhey whispered round us then: Though bloomed a thousand brighter flowers In woodlanid, glade, and glen; ; But now the moon aff4oaspa is.haere* Our truant loves are flown ?.. - Oht! do they still our soft spells wear ? Where are the zephyrs gotne? Our leaves have lost the glorious breaths That chainied the zephyrs' wings, No longer do wve.weave such wreaths As4.he perfume-spirit brings. Why linger here, when life's bright chain Hath lost the ray., that shown ? Our pei-ished aweets we mourn in vain, With ibe sephrs'-bright wings, gone ! *ThIiaeiarana'md of thermonth of May.

May 9th, 1846. It does not ;dif'er materially from the accounts of the 2w'o engagements already. laid before the pblic.' On the 8th General T drove the enmy from t~heir poasition, end oc cupied it during the night. The loss in this con flict was 12 killed and ,19 wounded. On the 9th, .the army resumed its march, untill.:it en conntered the enemy, prntected, as stated in our extra; by a,rayine; with artillery on its ravine. This battery was stormed by Captain May's company of dragoons The number killed and wounded on our side could not be ascer taineed. Private accounts make the number something over one hundred. In this second engagement. Lieut. Inge of the 2d Diagoons. Lient. Cochrane of tje 4th Infantry, and Lieut. Chadbourne of the'! nfan try, were killed. Officers wonuded-Lient. Cole. AlcIntush and Payne, Capts. Mongome ry and HIove, Lieutenants Gaters. Maclay. Selhlen, Ilnrbank. Jordon, and Fowler of the ltifntry. The despatch states that the forces tinder Gen. Taylor were two thousand three hundred en. aid they had to contend against 3.800 Mexicans of the regular army, and about 2000 irregular cavalry. .The fort opposite %atamorns has been near ly incessantly hombarded during one hundred and sixty hours, durinr whi:h an immense menaber ofshot and shells were thrown in it.

One of the most tarrible disasters that ha-i ever been occasioned by the winds or storms, in ibis part of the country. occur red on Thurslay. May 14, about 8 o'clock, P M., on the plantuiion of Mr. James Perry, near Perry's Cross Roads. Saluda. The course of the tind, was about due North, and raneing in width, from fifty to one hundred yards. The following are, as near as can be gathered, the particulits of the desolation it spread on the premises of Mr. Perry. Hia dwelling hous- was thrown down, and even the sills were moved. The roofs, and a few top logs were taken from the meat house and from the burn. The fenc ing, in soie 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 of, and then carried to thedistance of forty or fifty feet. A wagon. standing near the bare, was carried some fifty feet, and. consider ably broken. A pig pen was bourne off. wit h a pig in it, neither of which ha; ever bean seen since. A'nut eight or ten hush els of corn was blown away, and has never heen found from that time. The house hold furniture was nearly all destroyed soIne blown entirely mll; and a large chest contaitting the most valuable wearing tip pareh of the famcily, and all of air. P's paplers, was carried completely awaty. The chest was broken into pieces, andc some of its contets were found a mile from the lplace nt which it started. But strange to relate, alihough there were ten in family, none oif them were killed. Mr. Perry, his wife, and iwo chil dlreni, and two negroes were injtired, but none oif them fatally. And what is stra.ng er still, two oh the children had gone to bed. and the bedstead upon which they were lyinag. was blown, offe-nd broketi. andh the hed i'self "as torn into atoms. nd the children were thrown into the road w ithout receiving thu slightest injury. there was nout a thing killed otn the place, not even a chickeni, so fat- as could be as cert.ainedl. This is -certaituly, an instance of the overrulinig and wise Providence of God! F'or what puower could have preserved the lives of this family, therown as they were, in the very- midst of such havoc and ruin, but the im g ty power of Otnei poledice itself? lexrican Wr.-It is with extreme regzret that we have noticed the apathy of our fellowv citizens in te-lation to tIs wvar.
