([F om The N. 0. Picayune, May 4 j INTERESTING FROM CHHUABHA. The Battle of Santa Cruz De Rosales. The U. S. steam ship Fashion, Capt. Morgan, arrived from Brazos Santiago yesterday, whence she sailed on the 30th ult., bringing its sentral dagys later intelligence from the Rio Grand~ and, Interesting news from Chihuahua. A mohg the passen.gars olf the Fashion was 3. L.. Collins, tsq., bearer of despatch es from Get.- rice aid Gen. Wool to head quarters at Washington. Onr readers are -already familiar with the name of Squire Collins, honorable. men. tion having bean repeatedly made of him. ie was taken prisoner some months since near Chihuahua, and con fined till about. the first of February; 'when he succeeded in making his escape and joining the American troops at El Paso. He participated in the battle of Santa Cruz de Rosales, with General Price's command, and- lias kindly fur.i wished us with a succinct of .the affair and the events which were.connected, with it. As we have had no accounts of the engagementtsave - from'Mexican sources, an American's version of the affair will-be read with interest. Mr. Collins informs us-that about the first week in Februarg he succeeded-in breaking prison a Cihiahua then i_ in th sot ;.

Letters an. nouncing the intended march of ijrrea were found in the possession of the com manding officer. Intelligence was there upon despatched to Santa Fe to^ Gen. Price, who immediatly : started with two compnnies of the It 'Regiment U. S. Dragoons, corimmanded by Major Bell, one company of same regiment, acting at artillery, commarded by Lieut. Love, and the- hattallion of St. Louis Infantry; coimanded by Lieut. Col. Easton, and tho Santa Fe Battallion Major Walker, and arrived about the 20th of February at Cf Paso, increasing the command to about 1500' men. It was asce tamed that the report of Urrea's adiance was- entirelf false, and Squire Collins furnishing .Gen. Price with all information of Gov. Trits's po sition' a'nd means of resistande, Gen. P. at once determined to march down and attack him. Accordingly onr the 1st of March, he started with about 400 men and arm ived at Chihuamhua on the eve ning of the 1th~ performing the entire distant in the extraordinary spade of seven days. A deptriatiotr of the ciciv authorities came out and held an inter view with Getn. Price, informing himn of the r-eported .cone!usion of a treaty of peace between Mexico andf the United States, and entreated him not to criter the city. Gen. Price very prop~etly disregarded this request, doubted the in formation' and marched into the city. Ascertainiimg that Trias was bnt one day's march removed front him, lie dge, termined to follow him the next morning and accordingly raised all the horses he could to supply the place of those brokendawn on the march from El P'aa so, and:th'e next morning utf9 o'clock, his enmomndwere all on thme march af ter Trias. Notwithstanding the previous long marches; this gallant commnand ac complished the distance of 60 miles that day and halted before the. town of Sans a Crtna-a place of about 2000 inhatbi tanits, where Trias commuand was in possession A bout 7or 8 o'clocksthe next morninig, Gen. Price sent into town a flag of truce and demand the -unicondi tionaled surrender of Trias; This Gov.

We can wily say that if - doator cuts'open the great artery of the neck, and tells his patient "be quiet. good 'sir, I am only giving you a little bleeding for the good of your health." We will rather take our own sense as to his inten, ion by his act than by his word. One who goes for reform-in good faith, goes for the good of the Bank-goes to make it use ful and safe, and to continue its existence as such. Now we look back at 1843 and see the recomendations made in Goy. Hammond's message, and we see clearly that if they had been adopted the BatK would have been destroyed as effectually as the doctors patient whose jugular was cut under pretence of bleeding-anti we now throw our eyes on the pages of the great leader of these movements tagainst the Bank, and we see in the xxi. number of the pamphlet of "Anti-Dett," that he recommends the people "to annihilate the fraud"-(that is the Bank,) and insure their "safety by terminating its existence." Can any thing be lainer ? To "annihlli ate" and "terminate its existence" is re form with a vengeance. Now it seems to us that before the people decide to follow any leader or act by his advice, they should see where they are to be led, and what they are to he used for. If they wish to set thinkingly and- prudently, they will pause-and think themselves-and .:above all. they will'desire as their.- Representa tives in the Legislature where these things must be considered, men who will not blindly pledge th-emselves to do any thing and afterwards-listen'to argument, exam ioe evidence, and perhaps repent at lei sure. '4'.wise man acts cautiously.. Ex acly !n proportion as the subject is impor. tant, will he desire to see evidence and hear ali argument before he hurries to a deeisiun.' And if: ady' one. is in such hot aste: to become a machine instead.or' the dtratmelled. piesentative: of a think ing nd intel lige peoie, he is not'likel e1e'dei esrndl casts his vote. --That we 'do notagree tnthe system started now; for the firsttime, in demanding pledges of our catidide before they go' to measures that must'he discussed .in the LUegislature afterwards. They are no longerfree men, after they have surrendered themselves up .to these' pledged. r men thiak an'e act es reason directs. But they promise to' think no more and not to .act as evidence and reason may direct them when the tim'e comes, lyut to act in.a certain way, let ev idence and reason condemn ever so much. Now let the people act as they may, they always think sooner or later. They may be misled for a while, but reason will come back, and then they will put a proper esti mate on the man who has done his duty. They will value as they ought those high and honorable minds that refuse to be made mere registering machines, and to bb degraded from the independent tnanly Representative, with a free mind and a true heart,'to the mere cypher, whose on ly duty consists in giving his yea to the measure that has been cooked up for his digestion. For our part, when we select Repre sentatives to stand up for us in she Legis lature, we wish them to be the equal of those they meet-not to go there tied and in fetters. We wish to see them th'e Rep resentatives of a free constituency,weari.ntg no man's colrcr-not mere counters of a game marked up and scored1 by the mas-| ters who play it, and often play it for ob., jects in which the public good' is not very dpjaaerft. -- GuN.

But obefre I approach this part of the subject, I beg. to ad'dress to you a 'few remarks' upon' the bill which is ofred for our consderation; What i' the bill sir? It proposes to require from' the inhabit= , 4. - .. ants of this District to'enter into'bonds for it amounts to that--to indemnifyall persons who shall suffer losses by means- :n .': of a mob-to indemnify all persons for - any possible trespass that roa be cor. - mitted upon them by irresponsible vio lence. Now, I m'ust be permitted to say that'this is a' srt of legislation; tha" - =' is riot to be found in that part of the country in which' I live.- I think it -is unknown in the States south'of the Po tomac. Why should we be called on to 'assa law at this time, to give indemnity for ' trespasses" committed by a mob? If wersesatisfied th'at the existing laws of ' the Dfistrict were inadequate to the pro tection of thle property of the'citiien,I ' do no't knowd that I should' b'e a'verse to the adoption" of some mneasu're' that mright be calculated to control' th'a ioven'ents of a mob.- B'ut tvhat is'the fdct I Why, that the lfis a'e i'adeqiiate to the pro' tection of th','owners of slaves a'gainsk ' those whoare dis'posed' to inteifere with'" that species of property,' whilst othet' species of liroperty has' adequate p'ofece * 5% L tection. I put the'q'uestion to the'hion~.
