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."
