I have no doubt that the time will come when the mass of the people will make a desperate effort to regain what they have lost, yet if such an army as should long ago have been sent into the country is furnished to the commander-in-chief, there is no doubt but that it can be easily maintained ; but to try to hold it with a handf ul of men, such as have undertaken and carried out the contruest to the admiration of the world, would be running too much risk of sacrificing the most gallant and devoted little army that iuu?m 101 any country. Io? may disagree I with me in many of ihcse observation, but j if you will look calmly into the future and j form your ideas froin the past, I do not j think, in the whole, you will find me far , out of the way. It is with much regret the residents cf j Vera Cruz have learned that the 1st Infau- : try are to be relieved and sent to the interior ; to join Gt neral Sco'.t. It would be doing I a great injustice to detain this gallant little i regiment at Vera Cruz any longer. They j have had to encounter an army lor si* months to which all the mighty engines of j warfare were but play things, and in that j time they have borne to the toinb nearly i one-third of their comrades. Nine-tenths \ of those remaining have passed safely : through the dreaded disease of the climate, i and are now the only troops in the service j who have become sufficiently ai*elin?:it?><l J - ? to make them proof hereafter against the ' vomilo and other diseases nearly as bad. j There is not a man of the gallant little band that has been long and anxiously looking ' for relief and another opportunity to meet ; the enemies of their country. These men ; some in for no share in the honors which j have been achieved, for it was necessary j that some should Slav behind, and I need ' *> ' | not tell you with how much regret the i u Old First"' learned that it devolved upon | them. That they have done their duty i faithfully every man in Vera Cruz will j vouch for, and would it be justice to forget i them entirely when the places of those who j have fallen in battle are to be filled ? I t hope that their important services in garri { soiling the base of ;ill our operations will be j uet:< r appreciated when the}' are belter | understood. The victims to the diseases oftlie clitnate | since last April in Vera Cruz, will not fall j t-hort of twelve hundred, and it behooves j those who have the management of affairs j to sec that a sufficient number of troops to i carry out these objects is sent forward du- ! rinjj the he:ilthy season, and that tremen- ? don6 sacrifice of life avoided. The hospital reports on the 1st ultimo called for 911 on the sick list, which is quite a nice little tinny ol itself.

The Texas Raxgkrs.?u Mustanor." *li?> - OJ nl>!e and industrous correspondent of the New Orleans Delta, tlws notices the arrival of the Texas Hangers, under Colonel Jack Hays, in the City of Mexico: "They were the observed of all the ob servers, and excited as much lively interest as if President Polk and the American Congress had suddenly set themselves down in front of the palace to organize and regulate a government and laws for the people of this benighted land?crowds of men flocked to | see them, (however always keeping a res- j pectful distance,) and woman affrighted, ; rficliorl I*rnm tltA KoLinnioe i?%tsv tt?** They were armed with their old-fashoined, ; maple stocked rifles lying across their sad- i dies, the butts of two large pistols sticking out of the holsters, and a pair of Colt's six shooters belted around their waists?-njaking only fifteen shots to the man. There aio only 500 men in the Regiment, and ; summing then) all tip they have only got 7,- i f>00 shots, which it will take them at least [ ?jght or len minutes to fire into the ranks <ff an enemy, when they are at a charge. But then they have got a name, and I am beginning to believe there is something in a name. The Mexicans believe them to be a sort of aemi-civilized, half-man, half-devil, with a slight mixture or tne lion ana snappwgturtle, and have a more holy horror ofthera than they have of the old saint himself. And do not be surprised when I tell you that I have several limes been a^ked by some of the inhabitants if the Texans will be allow> ed to go into the streets without a guard over them. It is really surprising that men with such a reputation should be among the very best disciplined troops in our army * and not disposed to commit outrages, or create disturbance in any way. But the greasers mu.*t not interfere with them, as was ilfujtratcd this evening. About an hour ago : ^ some of them were quietly passing through one of the stieets, when a crowd of leperos gathered aiouud them, und commenced throwing stones, the result of which wa?. that in a very few minutes there were ten dead Mexicans lying in the street, and two men, badly wounded, taken to the guard house." Oun Disabled Volunteers,?

They therefore entered into a private examination of the girl?lacks.m & l?vuns. and soon became satisfied that she h id been j stolen from North Carolina. A warrant j was issued, Jackson was arrested, the other j muking his escape through the forest north | of the viliage.

Gibbs (alias) Jackson was committed to Jail, to await his trial, at the next General Sessions.

Height of tub Presidents.?Almost ail j our Presidents have been tall men, as if we selected our rulers as the children of Israel did their first monarch, for his height.? George Washington was fully six feel; Jno. | Adams, five feet ten inches ; Thomas Jef- j ferson, six feet two inches; James Madison j fire feet nine inches; James Monroe, full six feel: John (1 Adams. fiv? f???? ipn A Jackson, six feet one inch; Martin Van Buren, five feet eight; Win. H Harrison, five feet ten ; John Tyler, six feet; James K. Polk, five feet ten. These are heights above the average of mankind, except in Kentucky and Tennessee. An ofHcer writing from Mcxico, says every thing is high in that city, he paid $40 for a new coat; a pair of shoes cost 85, a pound of tea $5, and every tiling in proportion A Sound Paragraph.?The time is not far distant when the merchant whose rent costs him more than his advertising, will be universally regarded as one who does not understand his business, and will not long have any business to understand' u Bread upon the Waters."?The American Tract Society have recently started two Colporteurs, with flat bottomed boats,laden with their valuable publications, for the purpose of supplying the numerous boatmen, traders, and travellers, on the waters of the Tennessee and Misssissippi rivers to New Orleans, with healthful, moj ral and intellectual food. A H cm an Tiger?We notice in an j English paper that a jealous wife recently tied her husband in bod while he slept and then poured boiling water over him.? When arraigned for trial, which resulted in transportation for life, she boldly confessed the crime. "Her eye shot forth with all the living fire That haunts the whelpless tiger in her ire." Siiici.ley in Boyhood.?Shelley was nt this time tall for his age, slightly and delii cately built, and rather narrow chested, with a complexion fair and ruddy, a face rather long than oval, llis features, not regularly handsome, were set off by a profusion of silky brown hair, that curled na- ; turally. The expression of countenance was one of exceeding sweetness and innocence. Mis blue eyes were very large and prominent, considered by phrenologists to indicate n great aptitude lor verbal memory. They were at times, when he was abstrarted, as he often was in contemplation, dull, and as it were, insensible to external objects; at others, they flashed with the fire, of inteli ligence. His voice was soft ami low, but j broken in its tones when any thing much j interested him, harsh and unmodulated ; j and this peculiarity he never lost. As is | recorded of Thompson, he was naturally j calm ; hut when he read of some flagrant \ net of injustice, oppression or cruelly, then indeed the sharpest marks of horror and indignation were visible in his countenance.
