for the present this sub ject and to offer a w-w remarks upon tbe army and its past deeds it is stjh diffi cult to account for the fact that we are here hen in the great capital of mexico not the 22,000 paper men of the union but what is left ofthe 10,000 real men by whom the work ol subjugation has been accomplished the whole seems like a dream even to those who have taken part in the hard conflicts — yet here in mexico we are and masters after a succession of battles each one ol which may be counted a forlorn hope — after a succession of victories each one of which was ob tained over in immensely superior force — after formidable works each one of which seemed impregnable have been stormed and successfully carried here amid the " halls of the montezumas the numeri cally insignificanl band of anglo saxons has found a partial rest from its toils and its dangers a breathing place after its in numerable trials and perils nor the chronicles of ancient wars nor the prow ess of modern achievements furnish a parallel to the second conquest of mexico while lhe lustre which hung around the name ol oof-te^rand fits kardy actvehturers burnished by the glowing descriptions of prescott become dimmed by the deeds of these days you in the united states cannot be made to feel and appreciate all that stern and unflinching courage has effected iu the beautilul valley of mexico since our little army first entered it — words are in adequate to give even a faint picture of the brilliant succession of events which have ended in the subjection of this proud capital the deeds of cortes brave and vigorous as they were must suffer by a comparison the hardy and adventurous spaniard surrounded by his hosts of tlas calan and other allies brought agencies ihen deemed supernatural to the work had all lhe engines and appliances of mod ern war a hisdisposal and fought against an enemy superstitious and awe-stricken and provided only with the ruder imple ments of battle grant that they were brave but their bravery was of a piece with lhat ol the hindoo widow who fear lessly and unresistingly chants her own death song on the grave of her lifeless husband the followers of ihe aztec monarch of montezuma and of guate mo/.in offered themselves as sacrifices to iheir idols the mass when all hopes of victory had banished still continued the light it is true ; but in their onslaughts upon the iron ranks of the christians they were but fulfilling their own destiny anil rushing upon a doom lhat was inevitable the altars ot their gods demanded yearly and even daily sacrifices long before the advent of he strangers — the demands were now increased yet the victims were ever ready true a follower of the cross occasionally fell borne down by some av alanche of pagan warriors : but for every drop of christian blood a river would flow and well did cortes know that in the end be must conquer his calculations were based upon mathematics and in the pro blem of life and death he foresaw that the result would be in his favor science severe discipline strange animals bestrode by powerful man invulnerable armor all tbe appliances which make war terrible love of gold and blind religious zeal — these all these were pitted against undis ! ciplined unmailed and comparatively un armed masses — and the results of such encounters were known even before the eyes of the shrewd and calculating cas tilian rested upon the rich vallies of a.u-d buac j hut widely dilferent was it wben a short two months since the second con querors fust came in sight of the domes and turrets of mexico i some respects the cases may have been parallel the anglo saxons were cut oil from all suc cor and support irom home and had naught but their own stout hearts and strong arms to depend upon ; but thev had not coats of mail and lire-arms in the days of the first conquerors so terrible witb which to oppose cotton shirts and bows and ar rows on tbe contrary they had to con tend witb a proud and implacable enemy an enemy provided with the same means of attack and resistence as themselves strongly fortified immensely superior in numbers pretending lo tbe highest ad vancement of civilization chivalry and valor fighting for home and fireside and insol nt in his fancied strength and secu rity breastwork and barricade were to be assailed from causeway and open field and auxiliaries the americans had none as the case with the early spaniards — the yankee invaders found the valley bristling with bayonets against which bayonets were to be opposed ; at every avenue they found heavy cannon in posi tion to check ibeir advance and at disad vantageous points only could ihey plant their guns for the attack they had be | fore tbem a city of 200,000 inhabitants — a city in which every house was a fortress thev had a population incited against them by a thousand and one idle tales and calumnies by stories of brutalities and excesses ihey wen said to have commit ted and which they were advancing to repeat ; a population which had learned the sieges of saguntom and saragossa by heart and in their exceeding pride of va lor doubtless thought tbey were to rival if not excel the deeds enacted by the de fenders of those valiant cities with the least reverse it was understood that all the americans were to be massacred the brutal murder of our wounded men at el molino proves the savage intention — and thus our army had emphatically no thing but " victory or death before it the result as every one knows was vic tory — victory most complete — the entire prostration of an enemy all powerful in numbers and position if not in prowess the evidence is that we are here and that santa anna's proud army i.s scattered and destroyed yet still all appears like a dream the long roll may sound for an hour and scarce 7000 able bodied men will llock to the alarm call ; yet they are masters of the heart of the republic the page that records the history of this campaign will l deemed a doubtful one in alter times it will be difficult to credit that a handful of men numbering only 10.000 with not jo pieces of artillery all told discomfitted ami drove 3.),000 men protected by all the subtleties of engineer ing and with three times their number of heavy guns ; yet the proofs of holy writ are not stronger the result of the two campaigns against mexico that of the early spaniards and tbe yankees — has been the same — the subjugation and oc cupation of the capital ; it now remains to he seen how the world will compare the two achievements yours c g w k citv or mexico

disposed to listen to any propositions of peace the parly most hostile to the united states para doxical as it may appear is the one mosl fa vorable to peace santa anna he thinks in mead of taking ihe route towards oajaca as many suppose will make the best of his way to tuspan and will there embark for jamaica or some oilier british west india island cu ba he will not visit he says as while residing there he was strongly suspected of being en gaged in some plot to overturn the spanish government my informant even goes so far as to him lhal a vessel is at this lime in readi ness at or near tuspan on which the great man is to embark and that his old and con stant friend mackintosh is an active arrent in the business i give his speculations lor what they are worth believing hem entitled to as much credit as one half that are afloat of all the reverses lhat santa anna has ever met wilh — and he has risen above them all the last has been the most severe ; and how he can re cover in the present instance no one ran di vine for any one but him there would be no hope we have news from alvarez to the cftect tha after santa anna dispersed his officers at el pinal giving such ol ihem leave to retire to iheir homes as desired it he alvarez fell back upon puebla with about 2000 ragamuffins plun dering iheir subsistence as they went aloof — before he leli llie army was out of provisions or resources of any kind disorganised and dis pirited and santa anna found it utterly impos sible to keep it together any longer it now remains io be seen whai alvarez is to do un lil rincon i installed he is to be commander in chief hot where i his army ? even il he is reinforced by r.yes and bustamente he still willnot have more than 6000 men if gen scott had even 4000 additional troops at this time — just enough to hold lhe capital and fit oul a small expedition besides — he might break up and scatter the mexican army with ease but he does not hold a foot of land between this and vera cruz outside the range of a 21-pounder nor wili he until reinlorced what is to be lhe policy of our government in relation to the conduct of this war ? i hear it agilated that we are to take up some line as a boundary fall back upon it cease all active operations aud merely hold and sustain the boundary that may be adopted this course although preferable to our past milk-and-water policy wiil never do to my humble thinking — we shall be al war with the mexicans for all time the simp withdrawal of our troops will he looked upon as proof positive of our in ability to sustain ourselves here in the heart of the republic while a long iine of military de fences will be harrassed by a proud but ignor ant people until montezuma is forgotten or his history incorporated wilh heathen mythology no kind of warfare it warfare it caul be call ed would suit the mexican as well — we should in placing a species ot wall between them and lhe murderous inroads of the dreaded apaches and camanches and while they would laugh at us lor our pains ihey would annoy us for our presumption relieved irom immediate danger ihe thousands ot worthless military demagogues won j pester themselves

california coasl . it i.i help the mailer some perhaps il a strict blockade of all the seaports of the country is put down ou ihe programme ofthe new system but all will fail in bringing about a peace with a nation utterly blind to iis own interests and brave to a degree when danger is afar oil you may ask then how is peace to be oh tair.ed ! the safest wisest most expeditious and cheapest plan would be to reinforce ihis line at once wiih 50,000 men this should be tho first step then real war should be de clared against mexico not a quasi half-and half state of hostilites as at present — keep all that we have got and let it be understood lhat we are to get and hold all that we can — send every officer captured a close prisoner to the united states and provide strong place in which to keep all the privates — have no talk with the people or their leaders save thai our in tention is in overrun destroy antl conquer — let all the inhabitants be made to know lhat we are at war with them — follow up blows with blows not with soft words — leave peace com missioners ami peace propositions al home in stead ol sending them to a market where there is no demand for bach absurdities — in short and to repeat what i hav already urged have a force in the country sufficient to gi\-e the enemy no respites nor time to recover ibeir morale but let every hard fought battle have a result which has never yet been the case and we shall soon have a peace i hear that gen scott is blamed in some ofthe papers of the u states for delaying his march upon the capital a5.b.-&tf-*ys e id how could he do otherwise with the force he had on first r-v/.e ring puebla . with the scanty means afforded him^n£"{i{i_*p ed altogether the wiser policy supposing lhat he had pushed upon this city in the early part of june he might have driven santa anna and the army out it is true and with comparatively little loss ; but at lhat time he would have had a large and hostile population within the gates with not more than sufficient numbers to keep them in subjection while santa anna would have surrounded the capital with lhe force then at his hands occupied every avenue cut off all supplies and finally compelled gen scott to fight the battle of mexico at every disadvantage it had to be fought somewhere and our coin mander-in-chief only wailed until he had a suf ficent force to insure success i may
