officer, who was so severely woun
ded at the battle of " liesaca de 1;
Palma," arrived in Baltimore las
night by the Susquehanna Rail
road and took lodgings at Bar
num's. He has so far recoverei
from his wound as to be able t<
walk pretty well on crutches. H<
brings with him a number of tro
phies of the two battles, consisting
of eighteen standards of flags
banners, lances, spears, &c
Among them is the famous an<
beautiful flag, remarkable for it:
elegantly worked Eagle, bearing
the inscription, " Battallion Guer
dacoste Tampico*" This trophy
was torn from its staff by a Mexi
can soldier in the heat of the bat
tie, who put it into his hat. H<
was subsequently taken prisoner
and the flag preserved. Th<
health of the vet jran Colonel, w<
regret to see, is much impaired
and he is but a shadow of what h<
was when hft lpft tllf> /inmrnonjl ?
Fort Mclleny to join the army a
the South. He will leave here to
morrow lor Washington with the
trophies which will be depositee
in the War Department.
Captains Hunter and Kerr
Lieutenants Saunders, Lowry, ant
Jones, of the Dragoons, have alsc
arrived in Baltimore from the seal
of war. They were all gallanl
and brave participants in the battles
on the Rio Grande.

DC?3 In the Washington Correspondence
of the New York Journal
of Commerce we find two 01
three paragraphs which commend
themselves to attention :?
"Some few months ago, Mr.
Rejon, one of the most, eminent oi
the Mexican statesmen, said to a
citizen of the United States that
iVlexico would never be regenerated
without a long war with the
United States. A war, he said,
was necessary to break down thcj
military despotism that had sc
long crushed the liberties and the
spirits of the Mexican people.
Mexico, he said, or rather her
Government must be conquered,
before the people could ever attain
their rights."
"We must do another thing, and
do it immediately?take all the
Mexican ports, and give to Mexico
through them. wh;itshe h s never
enjoyed, a free trade. Give
them o:r cotton goods without, any
duty. They will be excellent customers,
paying in million, hides
and wool, &c. A trade might

that would be vastly beneficial to
the people of both countries. When
the exorbitant duty shall be taken

1 DIED, from fever, on the 12th ult.,
! in her 26th year, AMANDA, wife of
Hamilton T. Miller, after a short illness
of four days. A hearty response will
, be readily given by all intimate with
the deceased, that she was a devoted
; wife, a kind and affectionate mother.
. and an exemplary christian. Removed
in the bloom of life, in the bright anti.
cipationsof future prospects, from a cir|
cle of numerous friends to an early tomb,
a lasting impression will remain of her
' winning deportment, her auniable and
' gentle disposition.?Communicated.
DIED, at his residence, in this District,
on the 4th instant, in the 74th year
[ of his age, Mai. JOHN CHILES
This excellent man has left the example
of a well spent life, worthy of all
1 imitation. As Sheriff of this District.
' and as a member of the Legislature, he
filled public office with such meekness,
fidelity and integrity, as Tequited the fa"
vor of his fellow-citizens, which bestow1
ed it.
> But it was at home, in the discharge
' of his social and domestic duties,, that his
r unpretending usefulness was most felt,
f and will long be missed. Kind, sincere
l and Dure, with a clear
. and a temper imperturbable, he pursued
I the right in a most gentie manner, but
at the same time gave evidence not to be
mistaken of a firmness which no inHur
ence could sway to the wrong. Equal5
ly removed from party asperity and from
f apathy to public affairs, he was earnest
; and active in all his duties as a citizcn,
bat so tolerant and forgiving that his
ardent love of his country and indepon,
dent maintenance of his own opinions
begot no personal strife with those who
differed from him. For more than thirty
years he was a deacon in the Baptist
Church, and humbly labored to make i
his conduct suitable to his professions.
As a christian, citizen, neighbor, friend,
master, brother, father, husband he was
> virtuously eminent, in a degree far beyond
what the unassuming simolicitv of
# w M /
his deportment might suggest to those
who did not know him intimately. ,
With his good constitution and tem
perate habits he enjoyed health uninterupted
till near his end. By a second
marriage he left five young children :
some too young to have profited by his
lessons, or even to have personal remem- i
berance of him ; but his good works will i
remain to bear testimony of the worth,
while it must be a consolation to his widow
and elder children to treasure in
their memories. P.
DIED, on Saturday the 10th instant,
near Abbeville, MARY JANE, daughter
of John and Margarette Wier, in the
21st year of her age. She but recently
attached herself to the Presbyterian
Church, Upper Longcane.
In her death, cut down in thn morn
ing of life The afflicting thought
brings sadness and melancholy home to
the hearts of the many who loved her,
and who will never more on earth, behold
her cheerful lace, nor hear again
her welcome voice.
The Church mingles her grief with
this afflicted and bereaved family, who
by this dispensation, have had another
sorrow added to their cud of bitter wn
ter?called before to drink, in the death
of another beloved daughter.
Shortly before her death, (and sensi
ble she was about to pass over Jordan,)
she said to her father : " She had once j
' thought, that fears and tears would both ,
harrass her when she come to die; but
now, not so, she was not afraid to die."
No doubt, that then she leaned on Jesus
for repose, and found it. O! her parents
have hope, and a good hope in her
death, carrying to their bosoms the
sweetness of sanctified religion?"there j
is no sweetness like it." ]
"One family, we dwell in Him,
One church above, beneath : 1
Though now divided by the stream, '
The narrow stream of death." L.
