At everyisound front the adj'i cent shores-the railing of some night bird, or the quick footstep of some wild beast-the dash of the our suspended, and the Rangei'.a grasp tightened on his rifle, All knew the enterptize ; and that silence, which is natural to men who feel themselves in the extreme of moral jeoptrdy, settled like a cloud upon the midnight adventurers. " Hush sofry~nenr !" said the watchful Hiar mon, in a voico which scarcely rose above a - whisper, as his crnoe swept along a rigid prormintory-'there's a light ahead!' All eyes were bent towards the shore. A tall Indian fire gleamed up amidst the -great oarks, casting a red arid strong light uipen the wiaters. For a single and orwas suspended, an vrerls -tened wvithr painrful earnestness to catrch tire well known sounds, which -eldomi fait'ed to indiente the proximity of rthe savages. All wvas now silent. WVith, slow and faint movements of thre oar, the canoes gradually approached the suspected spot. A fter moving caurtiously for a considerabla distance, in the dark shadowv, thre party at length ventured wvithrin the broad circle of the lighrt whicl at first attracted their aclention. liar mion was at their htead, with an eye ant hand as quick as thioste of thre savage en emy whom he sought. Thie body of a fallen tree lay acres thre path. *As tire Rangers were on1 point of leaping over it, thre hoarse-whlis pe of H arrmon again broke tire sile~nce "See here,'' Ire exclaimed, pointing t the tree; 'it's thre work of thre red skins. Smothered wrath glowed ont tire liy of the Rangers as tliey bent grimly fe, wvnrd in thre direct ion pointed out by thei conmmander. Blood wvas spilt on th rank grass, and a human hrand-he han of a white man-lay upon tire blood log,. a o a~'r There s otaw rsoken, br every countenance wvorked wvith terribi emotion. Had thre Rangers followed thre owsn despirate inclination they wvottl haierried recklessly on to tho ofo of vengence ; but the example of their leader, who had regained his usual calm ness and self command, prepared them for a less speedy but more certain tri umph. Cautiously passing over the the fearful obstacle in the path way, and closely fo!losded by his companions, he advat.ced stealthily and cautiously to the light, hiding himself and his party as much rs possible behind the thick trees. In a few moments they obtained a full view of the objects of their search. Stretched at their length, around a huge fire, but at a convenient distance from it, lay the forms of twenty savages. It was evidt nt from tltier appearance that they had passed the day in one of their hortid revels and they nete now sufier ing under the effects of intoxication. Occasionally a grim warrior among them stated half upt ight, grasping his toma hawk, as if to combat some vision of his disordered brain ; but unable to shake off the stupor from his senses, unifarmly tell back into hh former position.

This change was unknown to the new lessee, who had it seems conceived the horrible plan of murdering Bell that night, and recov ering the money.

The first day of this month at 11 A M., his excellency, the General-in-chief left this place to join the drinj, whici had marched a few hours previous, foi the purpose of passing the river at nc great distan:e from the enemy's camp In consequence of the orders given fot the accomplislhment of this dangerous operation, with propet security and con formable to the rules of the military art, on the arrival of our troops at the point dasignated, all the troops under the com mand of Geh. Torrejoin, had already oc. copied the left bank. The enthusiasm of our soldiers to overcome the obstacle that separated them from their enemy was so great. that they appeared sorrow, ful at the delay caused by the injuries received by the flatsboats that had ne cessarily been conveyed by landon carts, and were so much damaged that they immediately filled with water on being p'ut into the river. Nevertheless such was the activity of the works, sucfi tire ardor and activity of the General-in-Chief, whose orders were fulfilled with the greatest celet ity and exactness that a few hours sufficed to transport to the oppo s1li umtrgin.of the Bravo a strong Divis ion, wit i alT their artillery and train of war. This rapid and well combined movement ought to have demonstrated to lhe invadersl hat the Mexicans have been not only i'nstruction and aptitude for u ar, but that these qualities appear realized an the present occasion by the most pure end refined patriotism. The Division of the North encountering fatigues and overcomingdificulties, ran in search of an enemy, wh.i covered by parapets and defended by cannons of heavy calibre, can, with this indisputable advantage uwait the attack. With deep fosses, with a multitude of fortifications, the de fence were easy against those who p.re sen to 'tim their bare breasts. But General Taylor dared net resist the va. lor and enthusiasm of the sons of Mex ico. Well he foresaw the intrepidity with which our soldiers would have iushed upon tlv. usurpers of ggiationtil. taii ninjuriesato avenge, these who have grasped their arms not to aug ment their own property by despoiling th'ers, bu't iW favor of the independence of the country ; well he knew, we again repeat, thet Mexicans have no dread either of forces, or fortifications, or heavy artillery. Thus it is, the chief of the American forces, intimidated the moment h6 knew by the proximity of the situation of his camp that our army prepared to pass the river, sallied out precipitately for the Fronton de Santa land, with neatly all of his troops arid pieces of artillery, and some wagons. The march was observed from this place, during which his Extellency Sir General D. Francisco M'eja sent an expres's to communicate the notice to the General inChief. Here we must render to our heroes the honor they merit. The ex press verbally informed some soldiers, who had not yet reached the river, of the retreat of the enemy -they immediately set off at a run spontaneously the rest of the distante. Such was the ardor and the anxious diesire to come up with the enemy. The complete flight and terror that those so set ofl with,-fromi the fron tier, to shut themselges-in and evade the encounter,-frustt ated the activemeasures of Sir Gen. A rista, given withi the ob ject of advancing~thie cavalry on the plain to cut off the retreat of the fugitives. But it was not possible, even fur a for ced nmarch, in the night. Gen. Taylor left his camp at 2 P. M., and as feat has wings, lie succeeded in gettin[ into the Fronton ; for when the cavalry got to the point where they ought to have cut them off, they were alteady past, and some leagues ahead. Great was the dis app~ointmient of our valiants that ,they could not meet the enernj face to'facei their rout would have been certain, and the greatest part of the American army who thought to cast dow/n the lixicans wvould have perished ini the first battle o importance. But we want to fight, and the Americans do not know how to use any arms except deceit and perfidy. Why did they not remain firm at the fool of their flag T Why did.they leave thi land they iniquitously pretend to usurp Is this the way the General fulfills his wvord of honor f Has not Mr. Tayloi said in all his communicationS, that h< was prepared to repel those that'offerec to attack him ? Why then~ did he rul awvay cowardly, and shut himself up ii the Fronton ? The Chief of the Amer ican army has covered himself with dis grace and ignominy ; sacrificing, to sav< himself, a part of his forces that he lef in the fortifications; for it is certain he would not return to succor them. He i not ignoraut of the danger they run; hi lie calculates that his would be greate if he har1 the temerty to attempt .o r.: ""sist on the plain the. bayonets and lan ces of the Mezicans. We pass o to relate the glorious stc esaofeste (Sunday, May 3d.) A day-break ou batteries opened fire on the fortiicati of the enemby, and the thundei'ing oft 6' Mexican cannod was saluted by th.:drums of all the barracks and points o-2the line, by the bells of the parish chi ch, and by the cheers of the inhabita of Matamoras. In a mo aient te ite erwere filled, and all were happy thai ;hour had arrived to give a terrible Ie tothe American camp, whose odious esence ought no longer to be tolerateda' The enemy answered, but were soon convinced thatt their ar tillery, although of superior calibre, could not coeupt 'e with that of this place. After five hots fire, our bulwarks re mained i o 'able fronm their soldiery, and the know! ge displayed in the rules of the art of- .eir construction .; but it did not happe aeo with the fortifications of our opponens,-for. their parapets were comple y demolished, in such a manner that b 1 o'clock, A. M., they ceased to pla efr artillery; and si lenced their . For our part we con tinued activel rest of the day with out the enemy ring to answer,-for the parapets whi, they sheltered them selves under, og destroyed, they had not the coura iq load their cannons, that remained. rely uncovered. The result de istrates what is in real ity the exagge kill of the American artillery. T lave 18 pounders, and those of ourlf " not .exceed' the Cali bre of 8' poui -nevertheless the skill and practice:. '&Mexicans sufficed to vanquish tho gbat handled superior arms.--Unfa lory and eternal lion or to our vali" atillery! The enemy, in their impot -rage, a'nd' previous to hiding their s behind the most dis tant parapets i the barbarity to direct their arms 'o' Icity,. to destroy the edifices, since not easy to destroy the fortilicati m whence they re ceived so ",i iury. This mean vengeance, ' ot1y be 'i the souls of miserable' foftunrtely..did not succe ' intended. They with -the tittk'oflp'strdtedillustriousl) philanthiopistsf Fut threir awla1dness was equal to their malice, for neatly all the balls went over, and those that truck the houses, although they were 18 poun -ders, did no other damage than. make one or two lbles ii tls'walls. If those who conceived the infamous idea of de stioying Matamoros, had seen the smile of contempt that thd owners of the hous es displayed, and their indifference for the losses they might sustain, they would have admired the patriotism and uncon cern of the Mexicans, Who are always ready to make the greatest sacrifices to maintain their country & independence. The brilliant 3d of May is another tes timony of this truth. In the hottest of the flie %ge noticed the enthusiasm of all the inhabitants. A ball scarcely fell be fore the children ran in search of it, with out fear that another, directed by the same aim, might strike the same place. This occurred in our presence in the principal square, where a great many citizens' had collectedr The, triumph of our arms has been complete, and we have only to lament the death of one sergeant and two artillerymen, who died gloriously fighting for their country. The families of these victirdis will be provided for by tho supreme government, to whose paternal gratitude they have been recommended by the General in chief. It will also serve to console us that the blood of those valiants has been avenged by their brave companions. As the ar~ tillery of our- bastions' introduced many balls in the enemy's embrasures, the loss of the Americans must hare been very great; and although we do noi know with certainty the number os deaths,the mostexact information makes them 56. i\ is' probhbhe' it is so-theli abandoning their cannon since TI- A?. ME in consequence of two of them being dismounted, and the rest entirely un covered,-the terrot and panic witha which they retreated to' theii- farthe entrenchmients at the greatest speed their taking every thing away from then reach of our- artillery,-thie diestructior which ought to have been occasiondbj the grenades which- were so well direc't ed that some were scarcely a varahyard? distant from the spot where they oughi to have. fallen,-all contribute to provt that the enemy has suffered terrible in~ jury.' If it was not so, why, if they havi any valor left, did thef inot dare to re pair their fortifitcations during the night It is true that from time to time we firei s a few cannons in the darli, but the air tcould not be certain, and nothing by cowardice hindered them' from answer s .ing-the fire we opened'upon-them'at'th t break . of day ; not an .American ha r shbwn his head. Silence reigns in thei - j,andm for this motive we have sut " pended our fire to-day to a few shots fIr there is no enemy to present himsel *dhin reach of our battaries. To con. t elude, we insert a brilliant paragraph it the answer given by his Excellency the General in Chief, to the account whici he received of the proceedings of yesters day. le says, "Mexico ought to glory, especially in the valiant division of the North, that a force inferior in discipline, and perhaps in numbers; and who re quire nearly twci months to receive their necessary supplies from tWe Capitol, are proudly defying, on an immense plain, the army of the U. States, and all the powers of that republic; who, alihough they can receive assistance in fifty houts, dared not to come out of the Fronton and give us battle." MAJOR RINGGOLD. The following letter from an eminent Surgeon of the Navy, conveys the parti culars of the death of the late gallant Major Samuel Ringgold. It will be read with melancholy interest, especially in the section of country, where the deceas, ed was so well known and so univessally esteemed: THE LATE GALLANT MAJOR RINGGOLD. CAMP IsAnEZ, Near the mouth of the Rio Bravo Del Norte, 11th May, 1846. The numerous friends of Major Ring' gold will doubtless be anxious to know the particulars attending his melancholy end, a'nd I hasten to give them to you. The engagement of the 8th was entirely in the hands of the artillery, and Major R. took a most active part oith it. About-6 o'clock lie was struckt by a six pound shot. He was mounted, and the shot struck him at right angles, hitting him in the right thigh, passing through the holsters and upper part of the shoul ders.of his horse, and then striking the left thigh, in the same liie in which it first struelt him. On the evening of the 9th he reached this camp under charge of Dr. Byrne of the army: dfe was im, mediately placed in confortable quar' terse and his wotmde dressed; Aia im mense mass of makeds:aild ,i t inents The artries were not divided, ieither were the bones broken. I remailed with Bilm all night. He had but little pain, and at intervals had s'eo sleep. On dressing his wdunds in the niorning, they presented a most unfavorable a' pecr, and there was but little re-action. During the night he gave me ma'iy inci dents of the battle, and spoke with much pride of the execution of his shot. He directed his shot not only to.grot'ps and masses of the enemy, but to particular men in their line; lie saw them fall, their places occupied by others, who in their turn were sliot dowuf, pbiiting his guns to the same place, and he felt as confident of hitting his nfark as though lie had been using a rifle. He had but one thing to regret, and that was the small number of men in his company. He said that he had' made use of all his exertions to have his company increased to 100 men, but without success. From the small number of his men, as' they were disabled at their guns, he ias without others to take their places. During the day he continued to lose strength, but was free froni pai'r abat chaeerful. He spoke constantly of the efficiency or his guns, and brave doti' duct..of his officers atnd men. He continued to grod woi-se, and' a medical officer remained constantly by his side. Dr. Byrne remained with himi during the night, using every means which could be devised to save his val ua ble life,- but without eflbet.- i%.con' tinued' to g'row~'oi-se until' one o'clockc last night, when he expired. He surviv ed'his'udounds 60 hours ; during all this tinie he had but little pain-conversed cheerfully, and made all his arrange ments for his approaching end with the greatest composure and resignation. H'e will be buried to-day at 3' o'clock, P. M., lan.ented by the whole camp. The wounded are generally dotng very well. F am your- obedient servant, 3. M. FOL TZ, Surgeon United States Navy.
