S. com-roanding the regiment of Mormon-, died at the tort on the 23d of congestive fever. His left for the prairies about a week before his "death, but he was compelled to remain behind at the fort. His death is deeply regretted. Col.

Price's regiment had all left on the 22d and the Colonel and his adjutant fol lowed the ensuing day. Several companies of the new regiment had arrived and it would soon be completed. Those Despatches. Our correspondent at Anton Lizardo informs us that the U. S.

steam cutter Legar6. had arrived off Vera despatches for Commodore Conner, and that the next day a flag of truce was sent into the city from the Cumberland. These must have been the letters.of the Secretary of State to Commodore Conner and the Ministerof Foreign Affairs in Mexico, proposing a negotiation for the con- elusion of a peace between the two countries. These letters, dated the 27h of July, were immediately despatched to the squadron from Washington, and arrived at Mobile on tho 4th August. They were thence sent to Pensn- eola, where Mr.

Habersham, the bearer, took passage on board the cutter Wollcott, Capt. Fatio, for Vera Cruz. The ollcot put int Mobile on account of weather, and Mr. Habcr-ham arrived in New Orleans on the 13th, with i the despatches. Hence he embarked on the 19th for the Brazos, where he met the Legarfc, which vessel took him to Vera Cruz.

After a journey of about thirty days, we'are glad that these important papers have at length reached their destination. If it did not evince a querulous spirit, we would say that Government carriers travel to the tune of take your time Miss Lucy." Despatches for the Pacific California. Com, Sloat. A Washington letter, remarking upon the report that Com. Nicholson was to be sent with despatches to Chagros, thence to be conveyed to the Pacific, states that Com.

Sloat, who is shortly to be replaced by Com.Shubrick, has rendered himself obnoxious to the charge of masterly inactivity." It will be seen that recent letters from Vera Cruz apeak of the taking of California by our squadron. This news was brought to Vera Cruz by the British squadron. We incline to the belief that all the reports of the taking of California by Com. are traceable to-an old rumor which found its way to this place from Jamaica some months back. Our advices before the last arrival, speaking of the capture of California, do not mention the squadron of Com.

Sloat in connection with the event. We should not be surprised to learn that the navy has had no part in the business, and that the capture" was effected by American sojourners and the natives themselves. Indeed, since the times of Micheltoreno, the authority of Mexico in California has been merely nominal. Capt.Matson, of the British sloop-of-war Daring, informed us, when here about a fortnight ago, that the annexation of California to the Unjted States wus regarded as old news. We have heard it hinted that Com.

Sloat has had the fear of the example of Com. T. ap Catesby Jones before his eyes) whose descent upon California several years ago was visited with a court martial. The Tobacco Trade. We observe in the Ketucky papers the report of a meeting held in Cumberland county by the tobacco growers, to take into consideration the subject of a general tobacco inspection and warehouse law.

A committee was appointed to draw up resolutions in accordance with the views of the meeting. The resolutions which recommend the establishment by the State of Kentucky of a system of tobacco inspection and warehousing, to be under the control of the law as a State institution are prefaced by a preamble, in 1a-Q ULF SQUADRON. the Trixtoa. cVc.

the squadron off Vera Cruz with uneasiness. Hecent events Tampico and Alvarado have had the effect to qualify our anticipations of the achievements of the navy during this war with no little apprehension a feeling which we must acknowledge is unjust to the gallant and brave hearts who adorn the service one which we would willingly shake off if a single successful enterprise were to give us an opportunity of chronicling anything but failures and calamities in that quarter. Even in regard to this last mischance the wreck of the brig Truxton we would fain find, in the gallant conauct oi Lieut. Hunter and a sailors, in capturing two Mexican vessels whilst the brig was going to pieces, a compensation for the loss of that valuable vessel. It would be, perhaps, an injustice to the commander of the Truxton to speak of this disaster in a fault finding spirit.

The meagre accounts as yet received do not furnish grounds for a decided opinion as to the nature of the disaster whether it was auch a one as a rea sonable forecast could have prevented, or was one of those casualties which befall the most prudent officers. Nor can any opinion be formed of the propriety of abandoning the vessel, or the necessity of surrendering himself and crew as prisoners of war, till a more detailed statement of facts is published. These matters will necessarily undOrgo official investigation, and until further advices arrive, it is better to think ns well of the business as one can. Some of our contemporaries have doubted he propriety of criticising the operations of the navy at this juncture, and some remarks of ours upon the Alvarado and Tampico affairs were considered premature and ill-timed by the Savannah Republican and perhaps other journals. We must dissent altogether from this vifr of the dutv of public journalists.

Either the press Bhould say nothing of transactions which are discreditable to the prowess of the squadron, or the energy of its commander, or suy what it thinks. There was no avoiding an expression of opinion upon the abandonment of the enterprise against Alvarado, unless the facts had been suppressed and tho country kept in Cimmerian darkness respecting them. Our own comments, too, upon that retreat, were, comparatively speaking, sweets extracted from the bitterness with which some of the officers of the squadron spoke of it. Nor can we see what good purpose will be subserved by stating what is becoming too prevailing sentiment on shore, to wit: that the country has been disappointed in its expectations of the squadron. The people do not desire the navy to un dertake impossible things but they were not prepared to see abandon feasible ones when once undertaken.

The sooner the navy and the country understand one another on this point, the better it will be for the service. What is the matter Why is it that nothing creditable has been done by the squadron? What fatality is it that has caused the miscarriages which all its efforts have ended in We cannot but repent this question, when we consider that no country can boast more daring spirits, more chivalrous hearts, more ready and willing material afloat than the United Stated. What has palsied the right arm of the Republic loss of the U. S. brig-of-war Truxton! Officers and crew, with the exception of twa lieutenant! and nineteen men, taken prisoners by the Mexicans and marched to Tampico.

I avail myself of the sailing of the U.

S. cutter Legarc to give you an inkling of what ia going on here. Santa Anna arrived here on the 16th inst. from Havana, in the English merchant steamer Arab, accompanied by his lady and friend, Gen. Almonte.

He was well received on his landing at Vera Cruz, but our accounts say not very enthusiastic. He has gone to Mexico. Through the English squadron stationed here, we were informed sometime since that Death of Judge Kennedy. At Philadelphia, 011 Wednesday evening, the 26th the Hon. John Kennedy, one of the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, died at his residence in that city, after a long and severe illness, in the 72d year of his age.

I take upon myself to state that you have been misinformed; there existed no hostile feeling whatever between Col. Price's regiment and the Mor mon battalion. The Mormons conducted them selves wun- me sinciesi' propriety, anu were much respected by every person in the garrison.

They had some twenty-five women as laundresses, which the law allows four laundresses to each company but they were very respective women, whose conduct could create no hostility between the Mormons and the regiment. f3 A trunk on the back of a stage from llagerstown, was recently cut off and carried into a wood, the bottom knocked out and the thief dressed himself in an entire new suit of clothes it contained, and was quite indignant when arrested at the suspicion of foul play imputed to him. the case of Oliver Perry, ie principal witness against Capt.

I regret to inform you of the loss of the beautiful U. S. brig Truxton, by all accounts the best vessel of her class in our service, Capt.

E. W. Carpender. The Truxton sailed frxun hre in the early part of this month for Tampico. On the 14th, while standing into the harbor of Tuspan, 120 miles north of Vera Cruz, a small Mexican coasting vessel was discovered, and soon after made a prize of.

Carpender engaged the captain of this vessel to pilot him into a safe anchorage, but in doing so ran the Truxton on a reef where she was soon, in a very perilous situation. Capt. Carpender then despatched Lieut. Berryman to the squadron for the assistance of a steamer. The boat in which this officer left "was, after four days' hard pulling, picked trp by the St.

Mary's off Vera Cruz. As soon as our Commodore was informed of the fact, he sent the Princeton to Tuspnn. lnlethe hng was on the reel, utter the departure of Lt. Berryman, two Mexican coasting vessels appeared in the offing; these were captured by a boat's crew in charge of Lt. Bushrod Hunter, but this gentleman was unable, from the violence of the gale blowing at the time, to reach the wreck with his prizes, and was therefore compelled to make fortius place, where he arrived several days ago.

On the arrival of the Princeton at the wreck of the Truxton, she was found abandoned, and that she had been stripped of all light articles by the Mexicans. A flag of truce was sent on shore from the Princeton, by whom it was ascertained that Capt. Carpender, his officers and crew who were with him, landed at Tuspan on the 17th, and were very hospitably received and treated by the inhabitants. On the If th they started on foot for Tampico, intending to offer themselves as prisoners of war, since then we have no further accounts of them. On the return of the flag of truce to the Princeton, the commander of that vessel, finding there was no possibility of saving the Truxton, set her on fire, and she had burnt to the water's edge when the Princeton took her departure.

The following is a list of the officers attached to the Truxton, who have gone to Tampico Commander E. W. Carpender; Acting Master Isaac N. Briceland Passed Midshipmen John P. Bankhead, George B.

The We add to the information contained in our own correspondence the following letter received by the Bulletin. By the next arival from Vera Cruz we shall doubtless receive more complete details of this distressing occurrence The ex-President, Santa Anna, arrived off here on the 16th and entered Vera Cruz on the same day he was accompanied by his lady and daughter and Gen. Almonte. The steamer that brought him was boarded by an officer from the St. Mary's, and his Excellence was a little disturbed by the visit, apprehending he might possibly be detained, but the commander of the St.

Mary's previously instructed by the Commodore, permitted him to pass. udg-ing from the reports that have reached us, and the royal salute given him, his arrival was hailed with great joy. With deep regret, I have also to inform you, amongst other news, of the loss of the U. S. the lGth of August.

Just before starting it was discovered that a Mexican servant, who had been attending to Lieut. Cof. Walker's mess, was missing, and with him also twelve fine horses. Walker's fine charger, however, was not one of them. This affair, of course, detained the marching of the regiment some time.

Good shots and good riders, mounted on the best horses, were Boon on a scout atier the thief, dividing and taking different routes. In the course of some three hours he was found, and part of the horses were recovered. The theft was proved upon the Mexican, and a court martial sentenced him to receive one hundred lathe. The stripes were duly administered and the prisoner set at liberty but it is almost certain that further punishment followed. No doubt the unfortunate man was shot by men who lost their horses, and who waylaid bis retreat.

Besides this, nothing of importance occurred while the regiment remained at San Fernando. From San Fernando Col. Hays moved to- arils China, which place had previously been entered by Capt. McCulloch, an account of which our readers have seen. Hays reached China on the 23d of AugiiPt.

The route from San Fernando to China is, for most of the way, very difficult of a sort of cattle-path, rather than a highway, winding around enormous bills, through ravines and upon the margins of yawning precipices, hedged in almost continuously by prickly pear and chaparral, and overhung with thorns and bramble. In their march, the Rangers were constantly on the look-out for the enemy. They passed innumerable ranches and but at none could tbey find the people in arms. At one or two points they found the uniform of Mexican soldiers, but there was nobody in them The wearers, we suppose, had vamosed! In this wav the march was continued day after day Hays hearing of a body of troops at one point and another, but on his approach there was nobody to be seen but women and children, with two or three ragged, dirty, cowardly-looking men. Chinu was entered by the Rangers without any opposition.

On the arrival of the regiment every door was found closed; only a few of the inhabitants were to be seen, and these upon the house-tops and balconies. At night the Mexican penchant for horse-flesh was indulged in, and three horses were relieved of their halters and carried off. Next day, by vigilant pursuit, the rogue was overhauled, his case 'soon decided upon, and he was shot. He implicated his master, a man of wealth, in the theft, and we may hear further of the affair soon. The boys" intended to sift the matter thoroughly.

On the 26th ult. the Rangers were to move from China some eighteen miles on the way to Camargo, and encamp on the Rio San uan for further orders. Col. Hays, with about twenty-five men from bis regiment, went into Camargo on the 26th, and communicated with Gen. Taylor.

It was understood at Camargo on the 27th that all the Texan volunteers, except Col. Hays's regiment, were disbanded or were to be disbanded, their term of enlistment being out or about expiring. Hays, it was thought, would come in for three months' more service. The main army is at Camargo, but there are troops at prominent points all along the Rio Grande from the mouth up. Considerable sickness prevails and deaths are daily occurring ainongBt them.

On the night of the 31st ult. a riot broke out among some volunteers, on a steamboat lying missary wounded, but sliehtly so. At the time Col. Baker was shot he was engaged in a personal conflict with tho Captain of the Irish company, who is also among the wounded. The rioters were finally subdued, forced to surrender their arms, and placed under a strong guard.

The full particulars of this outrageous transaction could not be procured before the McKim left. We shall probably hear further of it by the next arrival. Alexander JrSeahorn, of Fulton county, 111., belonging to Company Illinois regiment, died on board the McKim on Thursday night, and was buried at sea. Several other poor fellows apparently near their latter end were on hoard. The eight of these suffering and emaciated men, who had gone to their country's war full of hope and health and enthusiasm, is one which touches the sensibilities roost keenly.

The first regiment of Indiana volunteers, Col. Drake, have been stationed at the mouth of the Rio Grande. By this arrival we have accounts of the blow-in? up of the steamboat Enterprise, by which tive persons were instantly killed and several This casualty occurred a little after duylight on the 21st about forty-live above Reynosa, when the engine had just made the third revolutiou, the boat having been tied 11;) to the bank during the night. There docs not seem to have been much damage done to her hull by the explosion but her tipper forward works aud part of the cabin were terribly ili'inolUhed. The first four rims of the boilers were blown literally into fragment, and how so many persons escaped instant death is truly a wonder.

There were over 150 persons on hoard, and many in the immediate vicinity of and directly over the boilers, who were scarcely u.jureu. obtained these particulars, wun the accompanying list of killed and wounded, from Mr. Emmons, one of the pilots of the Enterprise, who, with seven othr persons, was lying upon the boiler deck directly by the wheel. Of these eight persons only four were badly injured. Immediately in front of the wheel, and almost between the chimneys, sixteen other mon were lying down, most of them aleep, when the explosion took place.

This part of lar troops. This was the largest body of regu lar troops that has ever been brought together since the last war, there being about three thousand on the field. The scene was beautiful beyond description beautiful, not because of any display of gaudy uniforms, fur every officer and man was in undress," or every day working Ml attire but beautiful in consequence of the pre-1 cision and promptitude with which every order was executed. There were six regiments of infantry, one artillery battallion acting as infantry, and two batteries of light artillery. The General, of course, received a salute from the hatter.

These two batteries are commanded by Duncan and Bragg, two as fine officers as the service contains. The 7th Infantry, under Capt. Miles, which is encamped in the plaza, marched down and joined in the review. This is splendid regiment, and is in the most perfect state of discipline. It will 1 remembered that the 7tb was in the battle cf New Orleans, and distinguished itself there.

Its present officers, though not many of them personally acquainted with him, frequently speak with great respect of Major Pierc, of New Orleans, who commanded the regiment at the battles before and on the Ctb of January. Gen. Taylor looked belter to-day than I ever a him look before.

It is said that the boilers had been cleaned out luring the night, and no positive cause for the explosion is given. It was suggested that what in known as the inud valve may have become obstructed and caused the boilers to leak this, however, is but conjecture. Foiihe satisfaction of those of our readers who have had friends on board the Enterprise, we give the following list of killed and wounded, made out with great care, and hich is no doubt correct Killtd.

The wounded, with the exception of four who went to Camargo, were taken to Reynosa. On the 28th ult. it was said that Lieut. Dearingwas out of danger and doing well; Patrick Kelly was out of his senses and would probably die. One other man, name not known, was buried at Reynosa the day before.

The body of one of those who were blown overboard was picked up on the 27th and buried by some Mexicans at a ranche some miles below Revnosa. The Rio Grande was still high in many places up to and over its banks on the 31st uH. and rising. Among the rumors in circulation atMatamo-ros was one that Monterey hadlready fallen into the hands of the Americans. To Col.

Harney rumor gave the performance of this exploit. The "American Flag" of the 29th puts no faith in it, but rather inclines to adopt the version of the story given by the Mexicans. They say that letters from Monterey assert that a body of Americans, who came down by the way of New Mexico, were joined near tbe Presidio by a number of Texan avenlurerot, and the combined force bad entered the town without any opposition.
