Cerro (ordo, this party was g iformed:that itswould not be prudent to o go through the pass, as there were about -. ; - 4000 iMexicnas in the-chaparral along the d, pass. Previous to. this, two otlicers who a ' had gone to the rear of the train were fired a at from the chaparral. At the mouth of the pass the party was organised and marched u S.~. .._ through without meeting an enemy. Ar- ( rived atthe Bridge that evening. Whilst they were bivouacked on the other side h of the bridge, being so fatigued that they n S' were unable to furnish a guard, they were informed that some persons were barrica- it ding, the bridge. A guard was then sta- ( t tioned between the bridge and encampment, ti to prevent the party being surprised. At , this time signal lights on- the ridges and a cliffs were distinctly seen. Before daylight-the sick and wounded v of this little party were removed to Santa a Anna's hacienda-a quarter of a mile from d the bridge. A scouting party was then sent out, and also a party to clear the e bridge, which was done without any op- C position. The main body of the party 5 then passed over the bridge. Every thing p appearing then to be safe, and all danger I being passed Lieut. M4'Wi'liams and Mr; c Frazer were sent back to bring on the train c on the other side of the bridge. Just as tl they were entering the bridge, -a party of twenty-five Mexicans appeared on the o ridge,, and fired several vollies on them. o: The wagon master and four others, who q were passing the bridge, were fired on and d the whole five were killed, and a wagon o was ciptured, of no great value. After the.fire had ceased, a party. of " { lancers appeared on the bridge and seemed a to be preparing to charge,- but seeing that i Captain Bainbridge's party were preparing p to receive them, they wheeled their horses 3 and .gallopped off. C Captain Bainbridge resumed his march ' in good order, followed by 400 or 500 of g the lancers, who hung upon his rear and a flanks for four or five miles, but at a re- v speitable.distance. Thus hemmed in, this si - little party pursued its way until it arrived b, at the Pass of La Voitta, where Colonel t McIntoshihad : encamped with his large ti train.'The Mexicans who had attacked fa * Bainbridge's'party were the same who had b; compelled Col. McIntosh to halt and wait'for reinforceients. The party re- F mained that nigtit. in Mclntosh's camp, and durijg; th-e whole.time the Mexicans w kept a'c.tinuallire'on the camp. ap- p, = :proaciiug,ivith the groatest boldness, very M "usea txburdentinels ' - - . . of ithiiixentday CaptainBaibridge's. ct sumeditts urartih to Vera'Cruz, 'w ga n .' aptarn, ' re ~z~-th'eyhseeof universal praise and admira- 'p iVi aniahe'army'. lindeed, it was generally C Tadmitted that Col2 Mclntosh's command was sae bytegallantry of Doperu's b party Bainbridge's party continued their it march to Vera Cruz, whero they srrived c< in safety.

It was said, however, ithat el * some of or wvagons were cut off and the drivers .taken. prisoners. -Capt. Dupern ni arrived safely in Vera Cruz, having lost ca -three killed add three wvounmded. On the day Capt. Bainabridge's party gi left McIntosh's camp GJen. Cadwallader us had arrived, with a force of6500 men and two howvitzers. The twvo commands wore then joined, making, in all, about 1000 men, with two hewitzers, under command of Gen. Cadwallader, and pushed on to- tr wards the National Bridge. g On approachiug the bridge 'Gen. Cad- ai wallader occupied the heighta commanding a~ thme bridge, from which thme enemy had ei fired on Capt.

Cadwal lader, who was ont his way to Jailapa. ( Thme estimated loss of Col. Mcintosh's party is about $40,000. For miles the h road is strewed with empty boxes and tr bacon sides, wvhic~h had been captured by , the-enemy. There is a great deal of dis- gi S'' satisfaction in the army, respecting the is conduct of the command whaich had charge al of this~ train. T[hero will be a court of et inquiry inito the subject. rho garrisotn at Jalapa has been broken up, by .order of Gen. Scott, and all the sick and Governmenit stores have been s sent to Perote Castle, so that this line of s communication is entirely closed. Gen. Scott has had a read opened from Perote fi -to Tluxpan, from which, ini future, all our stores and men will be sent, in preference (s to the old road. 'The Engineer corps have h completed a fine road from Tuxpan toh Perote, the dlistance being less than one half that from Vera Cruzs to Porote, and g TK- iuzpan being a healthier place. *The success of the aittack on Mclntosh's ot command has given great confidence- to se h--~i,e gerrillas, who are swarming in great pr -numbeti through the country, and attack- lec Sigall umr parties, large and small. sn k:aspchiefly ewinmg to the gallantry of up * ljaj*Bennett, the Paymaster, that the. specui~aaimved.Ho was in one of them himl h:was attacked, ccl S and g or .dii - --' e aret pained .heer that theofine wi char-ger sent out byit ctimtiens of New.

We have about 6000 mon at Puebla, adot command of Gens. Worth and tuitman. Gen. Scott will remain at Puebla until a is reinforced. Gen. Bravo is in co'm taud of the army at the Capital. t Santa Anna has published quite a flam. r ig account of the af'air between him and len. Worth, at Amozoque. Tbe truth is t tat lie had a large force of cavalry, which as attacked by Col. Duncan's battery nd Maj. Boneyille of the. 6th 'Infantry. Le did not wait to receive more than one olley, from which however, he sustainej heavy work, and then fled in the wildet isorder towards the Capital. s The gallant Capt.

On the morning of the 8th inst. he started rith his command from Porote on an ex edition'some distance into the. interior. luring, the expedition he succeeded in apturing nineteen guerrillas and. an'Al- 1 ade-he has employed them in cleaning re streets and sinks. A letter has been received in Vera Cruz I n the 15th inst., previous to the sailing f the Galveston, direct from the head uarters of Gen. Scott, stating that Gen. I cott had issued orders for the removal.of t the goverumont from Vera Cruz to c 'uxpan. This change was said to be, in 1 art owing to the sickness in Vera Cruz, nd because 'communications could be I tore easily kept up between Tuxpan and t Puebla than between the latter place and 1 rara Cruz. All the public stores in Vera t ruz would, in that case, be removed to 'uxpan, and troops, only sufficient to C irrison the place, left at Vera Cruz. The t tivity displayed among the different r essels in the harbor of Vera Cruz in iifting the cargoes, from vessels having it small portions of Government proper- < on board,.into others nearly ifull, with i e evident intention of a move, would go I r to confirm the rumor of a change in the i iso of operations. Orm the Correspondence of the'Chars. Courier. WasHINO'roN, June-22. The Government has taken a verf im rtant and decided step in regard to.the exican war, and one that promises, if I sei.ciolusitof- the war, at least to iioT *hja~cioi, iMi to. 3igcejh Mexico, and mae rith it' a trety of tace, and guaranty. the security of tha~t lovrn ment. There is no doubt that a most formida t peace party has arieti in Mexico, and at some of its members have boon in >mmunication with Gen. Scott. As anon iGen. Scott shall arrive in the city of [exico, the peace party will form a Gow rnment defacto, under the guaraaty ofj n, Sdott. Our armies must, of course, remain irn [exico till the treaty made with the new I iveroment shall be fully carried into I T'oct.e Trho mass of the Mexican people are > expected to concur in the treaty, be tuso many of their loaders will oppose it, A civil war will arise, and the newv avernment and its supporters will have as allies.

The Chicago Convention.-Under this caption will be.feund some very sensible remarks upon the Rtiver and Harbor Bill, which was vetoed by Mr. Folk,'but which the Whigs will again b endeavor to pass through Congress. The re- d marks which we have transferred to our co umns, are takeu'fronthe Georgia Constitu tionalist, an able States Rights paper. We ' heartily concur with the editor in his views about the Chicago Convention. We hope that the schemes of the Whigs, and a portion of the Democrats, for building up certain favorite sections of the Union out of the National rrea sury, will'not be lost sight of- in the blaze of a victories in Mexico. Destitution on the Continent of Europe.-Our d hearts have been much pained, at the recital of s the terrible famine which prevails in Ireland. But this ill fated country is not alone. Desti tution is almost as great in large portions of Germany and Belgium. The benevolent of this country, and of Europe, have done much to relieve the distress of the sufferers, but thou sands must necessarily die of starvation or dis ease, brought on by insufficient food in the countries above mentioned. Large Fee.-In the case of General Leslie Combs, against the Uank of Kentncky,the Jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff of fourteen thousand dollars. This was an action for the value of legal services rendered the defer,dant in their suit against the Schuylkill Bank. Law yers, who obtain such fees, must find the prac tce of their profession very agreable pastime. Eztraordinar , Longevity.-A cotemporary 'journal says, that there is a case of extraordina ry longevity on Long Island. This is a man 'born in the 17th century, being now one hun dred and fifty years.. Remarkable as this case may be, there have been others still more so. The v,:nerable Parr, was, we believe, some thing older at the time 'of his death. Henry Jenkins, an Englishman, -was about 168 years old, when heodied. - Maria Louisa Empress of France.-In a cor ner of a newspaper, we recently read the fol loiving paragraph about Maria -Louisa,late Em presso France, and lady of the great Napo. leon. lor years past,sho had sunk into compar. ativel.bscurity.

European Newos.-The steamer Cambria, ar rived, at' Boston, a few days since.. Th e only 'political event of importance which has occur. red, to diversify' the face of affairs ini Europe, is the joint intervention of England Francc and Spain. in the dispute between the Queen of Pcrtugal and her subjects. Some persons -of distinction have recently died. Reuben G. Beaseley, the American Consul at Havre, died on the 1st inst.. All the American shipping, at that port, had their flage half mast during the day. The death of three persons of great re nown are announced. We make the followving extracts. Prince Jerome Bonaparo, nephew of Napoleon, lately died at Florence, from a diseaso of the spine. His physiciati at first gave some hopes of roCovery, if the Princ~e used the waters of Vernal, in the Pyrenees; but the French Government refused permission for the Prince to enter tbe French territory. Rev. Dr. Chalm'ors, of Glasgow, re cently died suddenly in that city. Tihe European Times, in announcing his death says:-* "lHe expired us calmly, in Scotland the othdr day, as the babe at its mother's breast-as placid, resigned, contentedly. No pre'vious intimation showed that he was heir to nature's infirmity; the hand of disease was not upon him. TJ.he brilliant intellect was to have shod its light next day on the General Assembly. Hoe was a great man-great in his power mental supremacy, in his moral grandeur- Fore most amongst one of the most onlightoned and best educated nations in the~ world,i Dr. Chalmers w as his country's idol-her favorite son.

I Daniel O'Connell, the A postle-of Lib ety, as he is called, is tno more, Hie di9ed at Genoa orn the 14th of May, at the ad vanced age of 72 years. A letter of the Rev.

['he revival of the article in the leading uropean markets produced a correspond og effect with us, and the decline that has Iready taken plate in our Corn prices, annot fail to have a favorable effect on be future course of this produce, especial. y if our stock, which is gradually being xhausted, could be reinforced by a few lirect supplies, whereby purchasers could Lave a larger assortment at their disposal, ad increased activity be given to the irticle. For the Edgefield Advertiser. Mr. EDIToR.-The Legislature of this state, at its last session, passed an act to liminish the number of Magistrates, to one or each Beat Company, and two for each orporate Town or Coutt House Village, and that the office of all Magistrates here ofore appointed shall be vacant on the first lay of March next, and that ibose to be ippointed at the next session of the legis ature shall take their offices on the same lay, which act will reduce the number of agistratos, for Edgefield District, from ifty down to twent-eight. It therefore ecomes important, that competent men, ad such as will suit the people, should be ippointed. I, (as one of the representatives' ,f the people,) take the liberty to suggest, .o the commanding officers of Beat Corn aanies, throughout the District, and to the Iown Councils of Edgefield and Ham )urg, the propriety of each, respectively, ppointing a day and place, and. giving public'notico, rcquestiig all min entitled L, vote, to assemble, and'whendsemblkd; proceed' to nominate by ballot 'or other wise, (as may suit the people. best,) the man'or men (as the cas' may be) whom Th'ey hishr hei M agistrates for the next fould be suited' in their Magistrates, other wise I doubt their being suited.' *DANIEL HOLLAND. ~ June 24th, 1847. If the Editors of the Hamburg Republi :no, and Hamburg Journal, think. the above wvormhy a place in their columns, they wit! enfor a favor if they will give it a few insertions. TE For the Advertiser,. Tl'AMB3URG JOURNAL AND TH E EDGJEFIELD RAIL ROAD.. MRn. EDZtTOn.-We have undertaken in tome former numbers of your paper, to discuss the importance and the practica bilty of a Rail Road from this -'place to Aiken. 0Others have contributed 'valuable rticles upon the same subject, and al though the writers then seomingly failed to awaken extensively a zeal that beat in unison with their own, we are happy now to say, that, that desirable object has been ccomplished by the Editor of the H1am murg Journal. In the Journal of'the 17th nst. a most extraordlinary article appeared ider the editorial head, which we beg ave, briefly to notice. "The Aiken and Edgefield Rail Road" s the captidia of this editorial 'effusion. Permit me in' thetirst' place to direct your ttention to the very kind and respetful erms in which the editor is pleased -'to peak of ths enterprise of our citizens. 'hrotghout we find such phtrases as "a nonument of their shortsightedness and ally," "this tminiature project" "this oasis fthepiney woods"1"this miniature Road" this contemplated structure of cnvy'and lly" &c. After a care ful perusal of this rticle, the close observer will not be long n decidinig whtch stands forth the more roinntly, the liutle amalice which dtcta ed the article or the folly of tho' enterprise vhich it so feebly attacks. The editor has tt had tho smartness to cover over the bject of his article oven with the flimsiest overing. He professes to lament the fol y of his fellow citizer~s' of Edgelneld in isking capital in so disas~trous a 'scheme. lis paternal care is not withheld from the implo hearted planters who do not live 'in the immediate vicinity of the village" ud ho generously 'volanteers to warn hem against being entrapped by the base d treacherous mpchinations of those ho -rould "reap the only -real benefit" hile they will ho left "with the bag to old." Now wvhatis the-object otall this? s it really to prove that the investment ill ha a bad Otto? Is there one single rgument or even an attetmpt at argument : prove this? Is it his object really to mit the planters upon their guard .against bis base trick that is about to be played ipen them, to caution them against being nrapp2d by scheming and dishonest metn, io. There~ is no one so blind as to be uped by sttch palpable nonsense. -The ruth. the hated truth which so tmuch dis arbs the peace and quiet of the Editor, is, ot this miniature work of envy and folly, u itis the importance of the enterprise,' 5 growing popularity,.its dailye inceasmng frspects of : suiccess,,andl the. threatepiug~
