God has laid heavily upon us, " but His j
will be clone and not ours."
From the tone of some of the papers that j
are published in the city, I see that the Alex- 1
icansare becoming very much alarmed as to .
what will be the policy that our Govern- j
ment will pursue towards them, now we j
arc in possession of their Capital. They j
anticipate from the great quantity of troops '
now coming into the country, that it is our
intention to occupy the country?an idea
that ought to have been impressed on them at
the beginning of this war, for, from what I
have seen and know of this people, we
must change our policy from this lenient
system, and make war support war. This
then will fall heavily upon the church parfu

u[)on the landed proprietors. The Priests
nrc also becoming alarmed, tor fear that
if we change our system and commence a.
military occupation of the country, it will
cause the Intro luction of thousands of foreign
ers, bringing with them the peculiar notions
of their country, which when introduced
amongst them, will have a tendency to subvert
their powers and consequently the
downfall of Popery?or more properly
speaking idoletry.
Congrc86 is now in session at Quetaro
and some of the deputies have had the boldness
to say, the longer, they put of adjusting
the difficulties with the Yankees?the
harder will be the term3, and that they had
better make a virtue of necessity.

Jtfy Dedr Taller,?It is with the greatest
imaginable pleasure I embrace this oppor-!
tunity of addressing you. As it has been
so long since you heard from me, I know
you must be anxious to know what has become
ol me.
I suppose you have long siner heard
that (ion. Si\>tt has t:ikon the capitol?that
ho had two severe battles, in one of which
our Kegiinent su lie red greatly. 1 have never
been able to learn the particulars of the
several engagements. I have only heard
that our mUoli beloved Colonel was killed,
nobly sustaining the reputation for bravery
and patriotism which he has so long borne.
Hisik;uth was a glorious one. In losing

cominaiiilers, and South Carolina one
ol her noblest heroes. By his death, some
of the lx-.st American blood has been spilt
on Mexican soil." While we regret the
loss of such a man and greatly sympathize
with his ljereaved family, should wo not
feel proud that the honor of the Palmetto
State has been so brightly sustained, even
at the gr<"it sacrifice of Col. Butler, and
many others who gloriously fell by his side?
You have received the particulars of the j
battles, and perhaps know more about them j
than 1 do. You may be astonished when j
you learn that 1 am in Puebla and our Re- ,
giment in Mexico. I w ill explain the whole j

fore tin' Regiment loft this place, I was la j
ken ill. O.pt. Marshall had me taken to
!iis room rather than I should be sent to the
general hospital, and employed a French
Physician, (one of the most eminent of his
profession in the city,) who afforded me
great relief. I shall ever feel grateful (and
I know my friends will all heartily join me
in it) to Capt. Marshall for his kind attention
to me during my illness. We arc glad j
that the citizens of his native District and
State may see in this that he exhibited one
of the noblest traits which characterizes the
true soldier?kindness to the sufferers from
his ranks?1 am certain I would have died
if I had been sent to the general hospital.
During my sickness, our Regiment was ordered
to march for the city. I was so weak
at the lime, that it was impossible for me to
accompany it. and consequently I, together
with fifteen others of the Abbeville Com
puny, wore lelt til the general hospital oJ

Cheatham died a few nights since. 1 was

desirous to do my part of it. However, we j
h id some fighting to do while defending this
d o o

left lor the city, Santa Anna, with about
8UUU men, came, and demanded a surrender
of Puchhi. which of course was not
granted. All immediately commenced
preparations lor the charge, for we expected i
the "Napoleon of the South*' (as he styles j
himself) would charge upon the garrison '
and hospital; but he did not see proper to !
do so. Mo built breast works across the :
streets, and cut us off from all provisions. ;
In this condition he kept us for thirty days, |
daring which time there was a continual
fire kept up from both parties. The streets,
which* a few days before were crowded
with pack mules and pack women, weie as
empty and silent as a desert, and nothing
could be heard but the shrill cracks of the
rifles and musketry, mingled with the loud
roar of the cannon. Capt. Rae, who commanded
guards of the hospital, ordered ten
rifles to be brought for the use of those in
the hospital who were able. I was one of |
the selected ten. I took a rifle, placed my-!
self at one of the windows, and awaited my j
chance. Soon a tall Mexican rather daringly
walked out in the street, and was deliberately
aiming at one of our sentinels,
but ere his musket fired, my rifle went off,
and down fell the villainous fellow. This
is the only one I am certain that I killed.
I 6hot many times and may have killed
others. During the whole siege, we lived
on gruel made of flour and water. I never
was so nearly starved in all my life. In a
lew days, ben. L<ane came with 4UUU men
and put the Mexicans to flight. Since that
time every thing goes on peacefully and
plentifully I am still in the hospital, but
as well as I was, and by the exercise of
prudence, I think I will be able to return
home, where, around the peaceful fireside,
I will recount to you all the trying scenes
through \vhich J have pqssed jn endeavoring
to serve my beloved country.
