If the State convention will take positive measures against betting on p]Actions much will have been done towards safeguarding and reforming the primary. The resolutions of fereed in the Bamberg county convention by Hon. S. G. Mayfield and unanimously adopted were along the right line. Betting on elections is a prolific source of fraud and corruption. Capture of Vera Cruz in 1847. (continued from page 1, column 6) sitting on the ground near me." Vera Cruz, March 22.?"Today at 2 o'clock we summoned the town to surrender, which they, of course declined. At 4 p. m. we opened fire with nine mortars, and immediately the batteries of every1 fort in town and the castle concentrated their fire on our mortars. For an hour you t cannot imagine the scene. You could see the balls dancing on the plain?the shells bursting in the air Pand exploding on the ground sending the sand skyward. The gunboats of the navy dropped in near \ the shore and opened on the town ?this continued all evening. At sundown the navy drew off, but our mortars are still at work and the town and forts replying now. and then. You can hear from the trenches the crash of the houses as the immense shells fall among them. May God have mercy on the poor, helpless inhabitants! "We had two men wounded and an officer, John R. Venton, killed. This is the extent of the injury done > to-day." Vera Cruz, March 23.?"The firing continued all night. The gunboats came up again just as the sun . rose. The town was envolved in smoke. Vera Cruz is not ours yet." Vera Cruz, March 25.?"The shells are still flying in every direction on the devoted city. To-night the foreign consuls sent a messenger to Gen. Scott begging for a truce 1 to permit the neutrals to leave the city, also the women and children. ! To-morrow an answer will be sent i . . ? ?a refusal, I suppose. I wish they would surrender and make peace, for I am sick at heart at seeing these devastating shells thrown into a I populous city. This is not a feature * .j of war that brave men consider." Vera Cruz, March 30.?"Yesterday the town surrendered and their troops, about five thousand, marched between ours, formed into two lines, and stacked their arms. This about 10 o'clock. As soon as this was over, our troops took possession , of the castle and different forts and O * the battery at the Plaza, and as our \r. soldiers marched in the colors were hoisted and salutes fired from the works and Plaza. c . "It was a lovely morning, though rather warm, and the glorious sun seemed to shine the brighter to teach poor man how contempible the pantomine he was playing. As the women and children and soldiers' wives filed past I could not but feel melancholy. I saw a son with an aged mother strapped to his back tottering under the weight of filial love. A young woman with an in fant at her breast, and still another almost a mother. When we passed the walls and got into the streets, we first began to realize the injury we had inflicted. Tottering houses and fallen balconies?and streets filled with debris?the hospitals suffered the most and in one of them a shell exploded, wounding several persons. The soldiers suffered but little loss, perhaps some thirty or forty killed and wounded, our own near the same. The town is perfectly quiet, except where the intemperance of our soldiers make trouble. You know among the many elements composing an army, there will be some rascals. Many thiuk this will be the last battle." Hi 1 "THE OLDES' H Look Over 1 the 1 / Ready-to-Wear.
