The bloody field of Molino del Key wae finished, and the American arms I were again victorious. But it proved adear bought victory. The battle field was red with Anglo-Saxon blood, for never did the Aztec armv make a more desperate defence. Those who participated in thatglorious battle will never forget its eventful circumstances; how at the faint dawn of morn, when the stars looked sweetly upon the earth, our army moved slowly into its position, corps after corps,; artillery, infantry and cavalry; the muttered word of command; the rum-i bling of wheels and the muflled tramp,! trump, tramp of the devoted storming j party, which pioneered the main force.' It was not I've o'clock in the morning i when the battle commenced. With a I thunder which shook the earth, the! heavy guns of Hnger's battery belched forth the first signal of attack. Then j the stunners, carrying their ladders, and fascines, started forward, cheering; as thov ran, and were soon lost amid I fthc thick smoke which rolled from i ihe Mexican cannon.. Now and then i a broad flash of lire showed our gul-j lant fellows fighting hand to hand with! the enemy's cannonicrs. On pressing ! the centre of our line, and like a rush-, ing tornado, swept the enemy from I their guns, hut bravely they rallied. I And in turn our troops were driven j back. Ilcre the carnage was dreadful. Of the fourteen oflieers of the 1 storming party eleven were killed or! wounded in less than f?tYo?>n minnt.? Meantime upon each wing the fight; progressed with great fury, and the: ditches in front of Molino del Key; and Casa do Main, were rapidly filling' tip with the dead and wounded. In j front ot these defences the carnage was terrific. The gallant Mcintosh was shot while cheering on his men.?, Lieut. Scott fell in the front rank, and , noble Waite sank under a mortal wound. Among the Mexicans there; was a heavy loss of gallant officers.? Old General Leon, grey-haired but full of fire; Bclderez llnerta and Meo-1 leos, all accomplished officers, fought' their last fight upon the ramparts ot^ Casa tie Mata. But direful was the conflict; no; power could stay the Savon's red right arm. Over broken ground, gaping ditches, and bloody rampart, in the face of fire and steel, the American troops pressed forward, trampling the dead bodies of friend and foe beneath their feet, until covered with t he stains of battle, they stood triumphantly upon the Mexican fortifications. Oh ! it was a glorious moment when, as the smoke rolled away, the stars and stripes were conn traiMur# f i 1 BU^II n?i IIIK 11 Will IIIU iUC.MCIlll UUg* staff, proud emblems of American valor. But we. did not intend to descril>e the battle of Molino del Key at length.? Slowly the scattered remnants of the American force retired from the hard earned tield, and upon the Ninth Regiment devolved that most painful of all duties, burying the dead, and pickup the wounded! About sunset the labor commenced. Some six hundred men, divided into small parties, pursued the melancholy duty. Day faded, but the moon, soon rising, shed a pale sepulchral light over the scene, which no man con Id contemplate without a thrill of horror. Over a large expanse of ground the bodies of the dead and wounded men were thickly strewn.? In some places a hundred corpses might he counted within tho spate of a few fifjuare yards while the sandy oil wr.i wet with human gore.? Largo pits wore dug and triend and foe found a soldior's grave together.? Death had abolished all distinction.? American and Mexican, who a few hours before were striking for each other's lives, now lay peacefully side by sido, their animosity subdued.? Ambulations and waimrui mtlo.I nwav to the temporary hospitals tilled with wounded men, whose groans of anguish were awful to hear. It was while the work of burial progressed that a lieutenant, in charge ot a small party, cunio to a ravine not far moved from tho maiu lino of attack.? Many wounded men crowded to the hanks of this stream to slake that terrible thirst which a Bevere wound always induces. As tho party were collecting such injured soldiers as would bear removing, the wail of an infant suddenly attracted tho lieutenant's attention. lie listened again, and the sound came faintly upon his ear, so plain, however, that there was no mistaking its source. Search was instanti ly made along tho margin oftho brook, I and in a few moments a uigli was disclosed at which the most hardened I heart grew faint. Two dead bodies lay on tho sand a few feet from the water's edge. One a young Mexican artilleryman, wlu?sc bead was badly crushed, apparently by a large shot ; the other, a young and very beautiful Mexican girl, from whoso neck a rivulet of dark blood was yet oozing, for a musket ball had penetrated to the jugular vein. The younjr man lav uoon his hack, apparently just as lie fell, while the position of the woman indicated that she received the fatal ball while kneeling at his side. Hut tliis is not all. Kaked and dabbled over with the blood of its parents, an infant, evidently about three months old, was lying upon the breast of its motliet', wailing and grasping with his little hands her long black hair, which was damp with cold night, dew. Oh, it was a picture which made the heart swell witli emotions of pity too deep for utterance?that helpless, innocent infant, stained with its mother's blood ! Often have we thought of the dread ? tul scene, for it was a scene never to be forgotten. That gloomy battle-liohl, strewn with dead and living; the brook murmuring gleefully along, uiimindful of its bloody ripples ; the groups ot soldiers standing with their spades and picks around those dead parents, and the living ha he, and over all the moon gleaming with ghostly glare, formed a striking scene for the uread panorama ot w ar. The man had probably met his death while in search of water, as a leather bucket, such as is generally attached to an artillery carriage, was lying near hv ; the woman must have received a chance shot while bonding over her husband's body, for the Mexican women, with heroic devotion, often follow their husbands or lovers into battle. The lieutenant,giving order# tjiat the two should he entered in one grave, wrapped the ha ho in a blanket, aiiti 111 11? *11\ wiiii two or iiu men started in search of an ambulance, intending to send the little orphan to the Mexican camp. lie. had not proceeded lar when a couple of Mexican friars were discovered prowling, as was their custom, anions the dead bodies in t-eareh of plunder. Ordering them to desist, the officer related the scene he had just witnessed, and in conclusion, olfered one of the priests a liberal reward if he would take the babe in safety to the eanip of bis countrymen. The priest assented with alacrity, and receiving his reward, took the infant, and turned away. With a consciousness of having fulfilled the dictates of humanity, the lieutenant prepared to join his party again, lie had taken hut a few steps, however, when an ox clftination of horror from one of his companions caused him to turn quickly, and as he did so, they bounded from his side in pursuit of the two priests, who were running rapidly toj wards the Mexican lines. , A sudden suspicion of horrible inii port glanced through the officer's mind in an instant, and eallinir on his men to fire on the fugitives if they did not 'stop, lie looked earnestly along their tracks, and soon discovered the reason of his companions' conduct; for, thrown : down amidst a heap of corpses, \va> the dead infant, with a bayonet driver j completely through its body! The inhuman wretch to whom the officer j consigned his little charge, had no proceeded a dozen yards, before com init'.ing the atrocious deed. The pur suit was successful, and in a few ino merits both friars were brought bad trembling, and in broken English beg igiug for mercy. But justice wtu i quick and sure. A filo of men wen soon on the ground. "Five minutei for prayers," said the lieutenant, look ' ing at hia watch?" five minutes, vol | bloody scoundrels ! Sergeant, tietheii hands. Men, form fifteen paces front.1 j These orders were quickly obeyed, tin I victims meanwhile begging for theii lives. "Your time is up," said tin officer. 44 It ja no uso; a man wire would murder an infant deserve! worse than death." 44 Are you ready j i ur^eant ?" 44 i es, sir," was the reply j Iheu tied havo mercy on the souk of tlio^s villains. Plat toon! ready aim, fikk 1" A sharp report rang out upua the 6till night air, and the two friars were dead men. [Froui the Ntwhville Journnl of Medicine.] A Doctor's Life.

If lie says nny! thing abuu., politics, he had better let it ! alone ; if lie don't say anything about it, " we like to see a man show his colors." It" lie visits his patients every I day, it is to run up a bill; if he don't, j it is unjustifiable negligence. It he says anything about religion, lie is a hypocrite; if he don't, he is an infidel. 1 It lie uses any of the popular remedies j of the day, it is to cater to the whims j and prejudices of the people to till his j pockets; it" lio don't use tliem, it is j from professional selfishness. it'he is in lie habit of having counsel often, it is because he knows nothing; if he objects to having it on the ground that he understands his own business, he is ' afraid of exposing his ignorance to his (superiors.
