FROM OUR CORRKSPONDENT. 8 VzA Cauz, 8th April.1847. .1 Mr. Editor -Our Brigade returned to this 6 place from Alvarado, on yesterdny morning, a after ani absence of seven days from the rest of ,4 the army. I was so much exhausted from the t4 march, that I have been unable to write until this moment. As hot as the weather is here, and it is as hot as you can imagine, on our re- C turn from taking the town just mentioned, we P marched, the first day, eighteen miles, the se- n cond twenty-one, and the third day twelve bj it 12 o'clock, M]. We met with no resistance at Alvarado. and e were even deprived of the honor of receiving the surrender of the town. According to ar rangement at Head Quarters, the navy was to co operate with the land forces, and the first vessel which arrived at the town, being under the command of Lient. Hunter. after firing two tI or three shots over the placc. caused it to raise g the white flag. Some of'the navy sailed twen ty miles higher np the river, and took another si town of considerable importance for its fruit and inland trade. At Alvarado, we captured about twenty or tlhirty pieces of cannon, but many of them being of very inferior quality. we carried off only eight or ten guns. The inhabitants of the country through wh'ch we pass, manifest much less hoslility towards C us, than I could have ekxpected. On our march b from Alvaradothey might have killed hundreds ri of onr straeglers. if they had been so disposed, j but they injured no person. We anticipate no apposition between this and Jalapa, and very q little even at the latter place. I presume we . will take up the line of march in a few days for i the interior. We will either pass our sumnimer a qtarters in the country, or proceed directly to vt the city of Mexico,'where we will meet the d whole strength and glory of Santa Anna. Vera Cru begins already to become Amer. icanized. We have a Theatre established here, a Printiog press,. and two or three American S stores. I send you a copy of the paper. from it which you can ascertain snore precisely the h terms of the surrender, and the amount of pro- te perty received, asad also the marclhings and 'I countermarchings generally of the army. We have some sickness in our regiment, and I regret to say, thast on the day before yes terday, lost three mon from the ranks, by death. One of them, was a man from our own coin pany. Win Reynolds. who, while in health, a performed the du'tes of a isoldier, as cheerfully, v and I may add, as nobly as any man in the re- si giment. I feel more keenly the loss of Rey- f nolds, because I wias well acquainted with him, and knew his quiet and manly virtues I am well and hearty, and stouter than when I left Edgelield. I will write frequently. and when I get rest ed, will give you a description of the country and its inhabitants. Yours, &c. SALUDA. fi P. S.

Califurnia.--The Washington Union sys that the insurrection is extinguished i California. The regular troops have rrived there from New York, and Ste enson's regiment has joined them for )me time. These are important rein" rcements; and, as the Union remarks, rith the force under Kearney, Fremont nd Stockton, will constitute a military irce which will sot at defiance all the forts of the Mexicans. The Union has also learned from an rticle in the "Californian," just received. hat a'strong part of the population is in avor of a union-with the United States. The only drawback to thin interesting nd satisfactory intelligence, is the state rient furnished by a correspondent of the 1. . Picayune, to the effect that a serious ispute had taken place between Gen. [earney and Coin. Stockston as to whom hould be confided the civil government f the territory. Col. Fremont, it is-said, spoused the cause of Stockton: and joined rith him in the refusal to' recognize the ight of Gen. Kearney tpsact as G overnor.

He was known to be the creature of Stanta Itina, and if his propositiotns were accepited hte enemies of the people andi the chturch rould he confirmed itn their destructive and ulimited power. The Chance of Peace.-We saw a pri 'ate letter from a very intelligent officer at fera Cruz. dated the 10th inst. in wvhich le says thtat several of the Mexican eon ederacy have denounced the war with the Jnited States, and threatenedl to secede luless peace should be made. Many dexicaus predicted within sixty days. hut ur correspondent ptits little faith in uguries so favorable. H e thinks the great litficulty in the way of a peace is the- fact hat Santa Annta is so nearly crushed that te dare not mtake a trea'y. Nor does here appear to he any one else in Mexico trong enough to incur the great respon. ibility. None of thc .nld politiciatns will enture upon the step. Our correspon lont adds : .'Some man now tunknown to amne, with not hing to lose and every thing o gait-. may arise and advocate a peace ilicy successfully. His want of ambition r the little chance of his obtainting power nay prevent him from becoming obno'xious o the jealousies of parties, andI gain for his idh-rents generally.
