Will you permit that a co- hi vetous and barnarous stranger should out- %t rage that God who has visited, consoled n you in your itfirmities--wh6'acomnpanies n you in the horrible transition from life to ri the enjoyment of eternal heatitudes?

Mr Kendall, in onie of his last. let'ers, relates several anecdotes piartiemmltr por tions of the action at Ceirro Gmordo andI give individuality to the pariiesengamged.in them,. .It'is -not to'be expected that a despatch. however elaborate. camn embirace all, oir ini deed many, of the acts of heroistm which contribute to the success- of hatIe ; and ti -is only in the anecd'ote amid army gossip. which grow into- iraditionis tihatt many of the inost'daring acts of chivalry ariu pre -sirved.

A furious tang of trumpets first- announced that the nenv was in motion, and soon-' we could* be a long line of infantry niarchiag down te steep hill side nel making directly for' es height now occupied by-Col.EH. and )iis nall but gallant band. - With: such; 'emendous fury did the trumpeters blow eir instruments, that.one unused to'thear roerid have thought that they alone were fulcient to-drive every Yankee .comple xly from the heroic and sacred- soil of lexico.

Soon they reached a spot almost rithin musket range. and while 'they h'ad shed a moment to form, to recover their rind, and collect and strengthen their erves for the coming struggle. Col.

His men were artially concealed behind the crow of the' ill, yet he himself was in plain view of the ostile host ; and now he commenced-a arangue which would have served for an rm of 20,000 men, appointed every 'way.

This note is carefully sealed and sent on the capitol, and when all are counted, the in. dividual who has- tire vote of tle greatest number of States is declared duly elected. Such' is about the amount of.the law in relation so the matter; yet it is known that in Septemrber last the Coag-ress of the Republic, in an extraordinary session choose Santa Anna Fresident and Gomez Farias Vice President, and the same Con greas. in the present-disiracted state of the country, may do the same again'. If the high frnctionaries are chrserr aceordinrg to the constitutiotr there are several States Vera Cruz,. Tamaulipas, Nueva, Leon, Upper California, and perhaps one- or two others-who can take no part in' the elec tion from the fact that they occtpied- by our troops. .We' shall know all about this matter in the course of a few days, and in the meantime I c'an- inform you that there are many intelligent and think. ing Mexicans here who minks Herrera will be elected, but perhaps with them the wish is father to the hope. T-he sudvent of the Americar troops in any part of the cnuntry gives the popula tion of the towns and cities two separate and distinct frights; the first is when they hear of th" approacli of -los Yankees,' for such have been the reports circulated by the Guvernment that they hoaestly believe that their houses are to- be robbed, their wives and daughters violated, and every species of outrage committed; the second fright is when they hear that the Ameri cans are to leave them, for they soon learn that their trade is better, that they have greater protection, and that the laws of the strangers are more wholesome, liberal and give greater safety than they have ever enjoyed under their own. They have been buying and sellimg, too, have been traficing with the Americans, contrary to the expreses injunctions of their rulers, and now it is their own people, their own lawless and half fed soldiery. that they really fear the moat. A day of sorrow will that be for Mexico wheti the A meri-. cans leave it, although for one I believe that, that day is far distant. As long as the military hold supremacy in the coon try our armies certaily cannot evacuate it. . . .

The train which started up - under es cort of Capts, Walker and Rufit arrived yesterday,- and it is now said that an on ward movement to-morrow has been deci ded upon. A great excitement has been caused here on its being ascertained that no less than twelve wagon loads of sut ler's. stores had been -found- scattered through the train, to the great detriment of the service. Arrests are talked of. and I suzppose'several will take place'. Many essentials-tor the use of the army were absolutely left behind to- make- room for the good's and- baggage of private individ uals. .- . . BesiderIHerrei'a it is- said' that Ellorlaga is talked-of as-a candidate for the presi dency. It may he' recollected' that the latter made a close run with Santa A'nna for the same offlee at the l'ast election.
