It closed its cereer yester Ong reader: in its appropriate place, a telegraphi the proceedings to the latest moment. We ure inclined in believe, from the indus ry exhibited by the members, and the great * of ousiness they transected during the am Jast two days, that they endeavored to remove, in some de the disgrace attached to them in conseque. of their precile conduct during the whole of the preceding portion of the session. If they have succeeded in doing so, they have done more than we think they have. The people, however, are the judges. ‘They certainly labored hard in these two days, and omplished probably more good than they did during the previous ime, put we are not dis- | posed to give them any credit for it. They might as well have taken a vote on the Wilmot proviso twe months ago, as on the last day but one of the session, and saved the country from the dishonor they have caused to her. They cannot avoid the responsibility they willingly incurred. We refer ou. readers to the full reports of Thursday's proceedings, in another part of this paper. IMPORTANT WAR INTELLIGENCE. Naval and Military Attack on Vera Cruz and San Joan d’Ulloa. We have the pleasure of presenting to our | readers this morning, some important, informa- | tion connected with the contemplated attack on | able to avail himself of it hereafter. This peace after its capture. _ If the attack be made on the 20th, an ex- | press will, we understand, be immediately sent | to Washington, or to the nearest point to that city, and the news will reach us about the first of April. {n the meantime, however, it is not improbable that a grand battle will be fought be- tween the troops under Santa Anna and those fulldebates in both Houses; parti- | under General Taylor. Two great battles at the attack on Vera Croz and San Juan de Uilos; Mr. and Mrs. Bennett's letters from Europe ; late news fromthe army and navy; Washington correspondence ; proceedings of the Legislature, and our regular summary of politi- eal, financial, miscellaneous and commercial in- same time would be a serious blow to Mexico. The above particulars may be relied upon for | accuracy. It will be seen, therefore, that we may very soon expect to hear important news | from the seat of wi The Funeral Procession to Escort the He. mains of Captains Morris, Wiliams and | Fletds, The ship Auburn has arrived from New Or- leans, having on board the remains of the gallant officers whose names appear above, and who fell at the battle of Monterey.

It will be recollected by our readers that the | plen of operations of the army and navy were first published in this journal. It may be neces- sary to recapitulate them here, so that the history of the matter will be complete. Gen. Scott takes command of the army, and will rendezvous at the Island of Lobos. Thither the whole of the army, with the exception of that portion left un- der the command of Gen. Tay!or, for the purpose of garrisoning Saltillo, Monterey, Camargo, &c., &e., which will be held by him, will be trans- ported from Tampico by the several vessels, nearly one hundred in number, which the government has chartered here and in other cities for the purpose. That island affords an excellent harbor, and is only eight miles distant from the main shore, and from its abundance of water, &c., is admirably adapted fora rendezvous. From this island the troops will be conveyed to the shore, and it is for this duty that the great number of launches were ordered by the government. From the point of landing, (sen.

These brave men, who were called at an ear- ly day, to offer up their lives in their country’s cause, were highly esteemed, not only in their profession, butin private life. Captain Williams, who belonged to the corps of Topographical En- gineers, was better known to the public than the others. He was a man whose place it will be difficult to fill; his amiability was such as to cha- racterize him wherever he was known ; his love of the fine arts led him to devote much of his lei- sure time to drawing and coloring, in which he was eminently successful, and his pursuit of let- | ters had stored his mind with a fund of useful and rangement between him and Commodore Perry, | ygreeable information, which, though modestly the city of Vera Cruz and the Castle of San Juan | introduced (for he was never pretending) always de Ulloa will be simultaneously attacked by the | had the effect to enchain the attention of these | | wholistened tohim. Of his bravery, Montere: Thus much we published on a former occa- | y Y> army and navy. sion The details of the great programme have been studiously concealid by Gen. Seett and the ministration, as well as by all who were acquaint | ed with them. Our army officers received orders from day to day, but their purport was never divu'ged. The line of battle ship Ohio underwent repairs recently, with the view, ostensibly, of pro- ceeding to the Pacific, and joining the blockading | squadron on that side of Mexico, and sailed with | sealed orders from Hampton roads on the Ist in- | stant. These orders are not to be opened until | she g tsinto a certain latitude; but we will take the liberty of making our readers acquainted with their contents probably before Capt. Stringham | himself will know them. ‘This vessel has sailed ostensibly for the Pacific; ‘ut before she will have reached there, she will have taken part in the grand demonstration about | to be made on the enemy’s strongholds. She sailed in company with the sloop-ot-war Deca- tur, but she will not goin sight of Vera Cruz un- | tilthe morning of the day when General Scott | will attack that city. The appearance of a ves- sel of her size and armament would reasonably induce the Mexicans to suppose that an attack was contemplated immediately, and it is to pre« vent this suspicion that she will remain out of sight until the eventful time shall have arrived.— | The Decatur will act as an agent to convey from the squadron there to her, and inform her of the proper time to take her place. Between General Scott and Commodore Perry, who will relieve Commodore Conner, signals have been arranged that will enable Com. Conner to know the precise day or hour that he will commence the attack on the city. Commodore Perry will immediately communicate, by means of the Decatur, or one of the small steamers, to the Oftio, the commander of which will govern himself accordingly. The moment that General Scott commences to attack the city, the whole fleet will play on the castle, for the purpose of preventing the yarrison from acting in concert with the Mexicans in Vera Cruz. In this manner it is supposed that both ty andthe castle will be taken in a short ume. ‘he time appointed for this demonstration is the first, and the Mississippi, which will sail in a day or two, with Commodore Perry, are directed | to be in that neighborhood by that time. The object of secrecy has been to put Santa Anna off his guard, and prevent him from co-operating with the troopsin Vera Cruz. He must remain where he is, for fear that Gen ‘Taylor might ad- | vance towards San Luis. time ocetpied by our troops after its capture, for the purpose of testing the effect of the them. If it prove unhealthy, it will probably be snzed to the water, so that the enemy will not be the 20th of this month, if Gen. Scott be ready | by that time; if not, as soon after as possible. At} all events, the Ohio and Decatur, which sailed on { the time when he received his death wound, the military despatches and the journals throughout heconutry, have already spoken. He was a Vir- ginian, of a good family; but this was never allud- ed to by himself with anything like an air of vani- ty. Capt. Williams was beloved for his own sake. Captain Fields is highly spokes of by his brother | officers, and all who knew him. He, too, was kind hearted and engaging in his manners, and had drawn towards himself the esteem of a long list of friends. The families of both these officers reside at Buffalo, whither the remains of the | fallen are to be taken for burial. Of Captain Morris we have not heard so much said; he is, however, highly spoken of by his fellow citizens of Albany, who deplore his loss, and have taken every pains to rescue his remains from the field | of his death. No one will be found to deny, with truthfulness, that each one of this trio won for himself, before death, the laurels due to | bravery. It is to be hoped that as many citizens as can spare the time, will join the funeral procession; | show themselves, inthis way, sympathizers with | the relatives, who have thus lost such estimable | | friends, no less than for the purpose of showing, at this small expense, a sympathy with our pa: triotic fellow citizens who are still periling their | livesin the country whence these relics have just | | come. Serious AcciEents on THE EastTERN RaILRoaps. | —Three accidents occurred on the Worcester road, in about half an hour, on Wednesday after- | fi noon. Two persons were killed, two dreadfully injared, and several others, including one or two ladies, slightly injured. A laborer, named Flint, anda brakeman, were the two killed. Another | brakeman, named Kennedy, had both legs bro- | ken, and a man named Page was so seriously in- | jured that he is not expected to live. Two or three locomotives, and a great many cars, were | smashed, and the probability is, that the damage | sustained will amount to between $30,000 and ( $50,000. About the time these accidents occur- red, one happened on the Western road, near | Worcester. One man was injured, and the cars | considerably damaged.
