A SKErCn FRoM TI& uL.*'
I have something to tell you*hich I
amesurd will' please yhu-:nne of iut--real
dashy, off hand brilliant affairs,"by a umall
party, worthy of the tines of Decatur and
Somers. We received the news a few
days ago,- that is, a gendial statement of
the facts. I shall do a little filling in for.
your 4pecial eudificati'of-but the facts
the acts, stand for themselves.
The late movements of the squadron
on different points left the U. S. brig Som
ers under Lt. Com'dg. I. Simms. the on.
ly vessel Hockaling the imMnediate port of
Vera Cruz.
On the evening of the 16th November,
nothing being . in sight, the Somers
ran in to the anchorage at Green Island.
On the morning of the 19th, they were
mortified to find a brig under Mexican col
ors standing in to the northward of the
castle, and too close for them. to cut her
off. The Mexicans received her with
great joy and exultation. She was now
safe under the protection of their power.
fil batteries, and to make it worse, our
officers would have to stand the joikes of the
Englishmen, with whom we often exchange
visits-their squadron of observation an
chored at Sacrificios saw, of course, the
brig slip 8-1. easily through the block
ude. The Somers remained quietly at
her anchors, and on the next day (the
20th) we have the opening of the 1st
Act, time, aftern-on, Lt. Com'dg Simms
pacing the deck, looking rather blowy
nobody in fact, particularly good humored.
Enter-Lt. Jas. S., Parker, 2d Lt.- of the
brig with Passed Midshipmen R. C. Rod
. gers and J. R. Ilynson. They approach
Lt. Gom'dg S. very respectfully touching
their caps. Lt. P.--"lWe request permis.
sion, Sir, to visit the English squadron at
Sacrificios." Lt. Comm'dng S. hesitates.
Parker continues-'We might get some
information." Lt. Com'dg S.-"You can
go, Sir! You must he back gentlemen, as
early as possible." Lt. P. and triends ex
change glanus, evidently pleased. - "Ccr
tainly, Sir! Can we have the first Cutter,
Sir?". Lt. Com'd S. "N,', Sir! You may
take the 3d." Parker and friends evidently
lower in the chops--"Very good, Sir!" In
a little while they shove off, and before
sunset are pleasantly chatting with the of
ficers'of the celebtated frigate "Endymi
on." (She was one of the squadron that
cap)tured Comi. Decatur in te "President.")
When the night haud we-li set in Parker ae d
.friends bid their English friends good e"en,
and as they shook hands requested them,
"If nothing is heard of us before to-muir
row evening please send word to the S.'m
ers that wve are dead or prisoners in the
Castle, for we are going to cut out or burna
the brig that gave us the slip yesterday."
Trhe Englishmien laughed and proamised,
never thinking them mad enough for such
an attemplt. Trhey shoved off and soon
were lost to his sight. Nine gallant hearts
were they, who left on desperate enterprise
with such slight farewell-they wuere in a
small six-oar'di boat-3 oilicers-6 goodc
men. It did seem madlness- not sno, ioch
-to (10 the dleed, as to) eupe aufter the deed
wtas done, frem the fire of suuch and so
many batteries-far discov-ery seemedh in-.
evit.able, as the brig was moored to the
wvalls of thec Castle, and oveI looked by- the
sentries; mnadness-yes, it is madness that
often wins that which wisdom wtill not
dare. Thel Englishman -a gailln fellow
-'thought them mad as they pulled away.
Three hours after the Quartermnaster of then
wvatchi cal led his aSttientioni to a strange
' light at the Caste-it flickeredl-1shes~
sprung up-flames burst ont-and by her
owvn burning light hue saw tihe brig uaicder
the castle's wall-consuming! llunninag
his eye along the now lighuted horizon, he
sawv a small boat I ulling steadily, and far
ori her way to Green Island. "By G-J
they've done it."' But let us go with our
oivn true hearted boys. Slightly armed
with each a cutlass and a pistol, cheerily
they puolledl away, yet gently-and present
ly lay on their oars, about half a mile
from the Castle---muflled wvell their oar
Jocks---arranged their plans---and every
man understanding his place, they waited
till silence and the increasing darkaness fat
Wored their design.. "Nowv my menc said
Parker, give way.-sink your oars well
pull steady---not a word---give way:" And
ifie boat glided like a dark shadow over
the waves. The castle-seems to rise from
out the gloom as they appmoacha, and its
huge battlements spread out into the dark,
ness. Silent as cienth, wvith stendly noise
less stroke they urge the boat. The brig
ioomus uip --they see the very sentry on the
warr~.-and they unseen. Glood fortune
spee&~ them. One other pull---the oars
slide quietly trailin.g from thme locks-%they
tuuli. the brig, and eight brave men arc
sjlrlngihg-'upi:hi sidesi The ecrelbss
nighit-w aje ndleamless.~f danger, Was
so1ng.;w ha acomrade, -leaning egjnet
'the inuinOast.-hearlng, noise :he turned,
exclim 1 ing" -Quien viv-" a stunning blow:
cut short his challenge, and 're hiaisnate
had well- turned tos-e the cause he too was
felled upon the deck. Three otheriwere
secured upon the d--kSwift-and noise
less as .had been the.. work, the sentries
on the castle observed a disturbance in the
brig, and hailed to kno'w the causes Par
ker who-speake Spanish like a native, as.
sumed the pa-t of 'the Captain-of the brig
and replied cooly-.some of my rascals
are tipsey, and I am tyiig them- tha t's all,
I don't want any assistance." His office'rs
and men were -meanwhile - busy securiag
all .they could find below, and,inl less time
than it takes to tell of it' they hll securely
bound and securely gagged all-on board.
The sentries -on the wall never imagining
kthe possibility tif a'n enemy at their very,
side, were satisfied with Parker's answe,
and, he, as soon as the Mexicant crew
were secured, remained vuiet for sometine,
ilten cautiottsly passing his prisoners and
man into his boat, everything'was prepar'%
ed for their retreat. The three now enter.
ed the hol of the brig and carefully fited,
her in variou . parts, building their fires'so
that some 20 ;"r 30 minutes would elapse
before they would burst out.' She wais
securely moored by chains to the Cast(
walls, but it would have been impossib.i,
had she been free, for them to have gother
out. She was laden with a rich cargo of
warlike stores, of which-.ittle or nothing
had been removed by the Mexicans. Re
gaining their boat, now heavy with the
added weight of their prisoners, the gallant
party pulled away-silently, slowly, leav
ing their prey--deep sinking their oars,
they tug on their way. Those only wio
have known immediate great danger im.
pending over their heads can imagine ile
hard strung nerves of that noble crew, as
resolute for all fortune, but hopeful for
good, they cautiously won their first hun
dred yards from the castle. The slightest
accident might discover them, and to be
discovered was to be the mark of an
hundred cannon. They have wdn their
way. The castle has sunk in darkness,
the Ltavandera is passed, . when pres,
ently they see a flickering light and hear
the drumns of the castle. "Give way.,
my hearties," cries Parker, "we have built
a beacon that may light us to our own
graves." Soon they had passe-! out of
range,.and as their flaming prey sent tip
now thight flushes to tlie skies, they gave
three hearty, happy cheers. Such, so far
as l can gdther, may pass for an account
of the most gallant and best conducted
deed of the war.
CoNDIoN PUNZ5IeMkNT IN EGVP.-On

MOVEMENT OF THE S.. uREGIMENT.
Ve are informed that the right ring. of'

near Hamburg on tleieteining of Friday
te-fist oPJ1nary' and that' tla left wing
followed on the seeond. ' Their' route is to
Mobile. It is said that tie troops-were in
fine spirits and lighly'elitedat thi pros
pect of a prompt movement to the iscene
of action.
With the other Districts of. the State
which liave furnished voltjnteers we feel
a deep interest in the rnoveienti of Uhe
regiment, and; in particular, of the Sum
ter volunteers, from whom.we indulge the
hope of hearing. No doubt, thie incessant
occupation attendant on the m;arch of mili
tary bodies has heretofore caused the si
lence of our volunteers on those, subjects
which are of immediate interest to us,
their friends, and, in some cases, their re
latives.
We are in constant expectation of hear
ing from them, aim our' columns offer a
general means 6f information to the dis
trict of the movements and condition of
those formerly our brothers in peace now
our volunteers in war.
THEIPWAR.
It has become evident to the administra
tion and the people in general that a suc
cession of measures must be adopted, and
that a more effectual blow against the
power of the Mexican. republic must be
struck, in order to put in end-to the war.
For eight months our army isa .een war
ring within the boindaries of Meiico, Its
success has been brilliant and productive
of important consequences. A territoy,
vast in extent arid rich in agricultural and
mineral resources, has been conquered and
a temporary. government established.
Much has been doine; but the*tst remains
to be lone. ComparatiVelyuiening, otir
army is still on the confines of the vi'st
republic of Mex'io. - We iay progress
little by little; afiid our efnqutests may be
slow ani sure. 'his policy %Vill fiunlly ac
compalisha what we desire; but it has now be
come a quiestiont of deep consideration and
important interest, whether this accom
pilishment mnay not be too distant, and
whether a peace purchmabed at such -a cost
may be not too dear, if, on the'conclusion
of peace, any portion of the territory al
ready or thamt may be coangnered is to be
restiored to Mexico.
The present war has become a war of
thme people ; anid -their dleterpainationa and
that eat the government is,' that Mexico
shall not only restore what was previous
ly dlue to our people, but shall indemnify
the colmtry fear the wvhole expenses of thme
war. Should pence be madte on these con
ditiomns, is there any proabambility thant Mex
ico will be auble to perfoirm them ? No.
Should the perfoarmnance of such a. gondi
ional peace be required teo be immediate,
it is evident thast Mexico is tunable to cada~
ply with it. Shoul it be made to take
effect at some future day, its distance
wvould lend enchantment to its provisions,
and -the same csourse, wvhich she has long
pursued tow ardl us, would again be run-to
end in increasiug aggressions on) her part,
tinally in impsatent and insulting wvar, and
in new w'ar and conquest on our part.
W1hait then) remains to be done? Our
generals have been successful, anad our soal
dliers valiant. Why then peed we halt-at
wvhat finally must be doned The -city of
Mexico must be taken. The necessity of
this meaisuire is 'evidlent, and the results
from such an effect would be both imme
dliate and lastiung. The sooner a blow 'is
struck at thme vit als of our enerny, the~soon
or is there a reasonable prospect of peace.
The hearts of nations, like the hearts of
men, must bie reachied tea control the'life
blosad which gives power, to their actions.
Mexico can afford to lose many of her
proavinces, but cannot bear up against the
hiss of her chief city.
Let ouir army then, uniting with the navy,
asea'ult thme key of the reptublic,. and, by ta
king possession of that, opena ihe gates of
the capital. Then, and not till then, is
there w probability thst our proud andl self
sufficient enemy, that is not cotnecious- of
defeat t eelved, nor of rank ling.covrupti-on
within, tiaten to thme proposals of the Amer
ican republic, whether dictating the condi.
tioans eaf peace with severe justice, whether
dlemadiig the entire cession of the Mexi
can. territory, or temperig her demands
for injuries received with the jumst mag.
