A letter fro'ift Lieutenant A. B. Corwinc, j *Df the Ohio volunteers, to* the Oiwcinnati j Chronicle, furnishes some interesting inci- j dents of the battle of Bnena Vista. After i describing the gallant stand 'Hjade ^by" the i Mississippi volunteers—vvhich Movement ¦ (Jeneral Taylor watched with lhe mo^t ,f uirr- ful anxiety, and which he'wdis heard to Bay : reflected the highest credit oU 'Coil. iOdvis' , mililarv iudije'mpnl—Lieut. Corwinc says :
"Gen. Tnylor hus giVined inoreinflrience over his nrmy, than any other General, sa-it} | Napoleon, that ever lived.    There is not a i man of thern. I suppose, who ever thinks of: anything else than suceess, when 'Gen. Tay- j lor leads them to baltle.    A Certain convic- j- tion re.its upon the mind of the soldier, that 1 ¦Pold Ktuigh and Ready canntit be whipped ; j audit nerves hi.4 arms and strengthens his i heart to do and daro, more than ho could with j •any less feelings of contidence.    It 'ivas that ¦sort of feeling which animated our little ar- imy, when the}'  saw the  glittering arms of 'ithe countless host of Santa Amia, pouring its thousands through the -gorges of the moun¬ tains.    There 'were no he.irts there that day that quailed for an instant, at the cbct^^n ar¬ my of IMexico.    Tho   very heu'^-ens Were made vocal withtheshoulsoftriii'mph, vvliich went up from the-Aniericun army, 'Vvhen fhey savv the foe.    They had confidence in tlicdr 'General-—^they knew   that   hit cii . i  had measured with the utmost accurii'v. '.(C e.v- -Icnt ofthe  figlit, nnd the 'exiicl rci-   ¦:,• and they knew he never calculated   upon ftiisc /premises.    We also knew he had determifted 'that vve should whip ihcim, and vve consider¬ ed " that done vvhich ought to be done."    So •all thought and felt, and so all cCcied at Buena Vista." * • ' *   •
" One ofthe calnp rn«iors te, that Oih ithe •night ofthe 23d. at a council ofhis oilicers, it Avas debated as to wheiher they should fall hack on Monterey,  or risk an e'ngagement jj ^vith the enemy in the morn4rig.    The coun- : I ¦oil was uncertain and  somewhat divided, | •and, afiM along debiUe, in vvhich theopiuion i! 'ofthe miijority inclined against an action, jl ¦old Jlough and Ready rose from his place, •and said, " Well, gentlemen, the council is -adjourned to meet afiler {he battle.    Lithe •Tnorning, we w'lM feel the enemy."    The an¬ nouncement was received With a shout; apd there was not a heart in that cpuncrl of brave men, that did not feel proud  to have the .judgement of such a man to Jean on as Gen- «ral Taylor."
Ditadful   Di.sli'ess i/i   ¦Switzerland:''—K Jih.ysician, writing from SchVi 11^ in the Can- tow of ^Sri.-wus, on the 28th iFebruary says: i: '"¦th'epa'ri*h«/ »'^htt31 *sinone Vast charnel i

The | feebleness of the inhabitants prevents them from digging deeper.—The master ofa pub- | lie school, who had year since a hundred !| 'and forty schoUars, now has not one. Half, \ lare dead, the rest incapable of raising them- 'I selves. The master, to support his family, is .! working on the roads."
Thc PeuUa Indians.-^An the recent mas- i «acife and subsequent engagements in New Alexico, these Indians acted a cojispicuous part.    Wc learn from the LidependenCe Esr- [ posilor, that when the Ibrtified cktirch of j Taos was ifited by the American forces, a ! Pueblo squaw appeared ion  the  rambarts I bearing a flag oftruce.    This was shot from i her hand.    In these engagements, says the Expositor, the Indians tought better, and did more execution thSin the Mexicans.    They would kill our men with their arrows at a dis¬ tance ofone hundred and fifty yards, while on horseback.
¦   The   Philadeiphia   Chronicle gi<*cs  the ||      Mr. Leake, of Albemarle, in his   contest following solid n.-usons for surporting Gen. i with iM'r. Goggin, has had   rather tx. rough Taylor  for the Presidency, and  " nobody •else."—

The Conquered Terr'ilory.^&ir, I fear We are not yet arrived at the beginning ofthe end. I pretend to see but litlle of the future, and that little gives no gratification. All I cun scan is contention, strife, and agitation. Before we obtain perfect right to conquered territory, there must be a cession. A cession can only be made b^trealy. No treaty can pass thc Senate till the coj^stitution is over¬ thrown, without thc consent of two thirds of its members.
