[From the New Orleans Delta, April 7.) Tho veteran Twiggs has already advanced on the road that leads to the capital of the Aztecs, He com- mands the vanguard of the army which is to realize the popular idea of revelling in the halls of the Monteaumas, Our own Smith loads the division, with his gallant rifles, anda nobler corps has never marched under our banner; and @ strong body of regular infantry and artillery. amounting, in all, to 2,600 strong, bring up the main body. Thirty miles from Vera Cruz, the river Antigua fy spanine by a noble bridge, built of stone, with lofty arches, and guarded ,by @ strong fort, which commands the road for along distance. This bridge is associated with some of the most gailant displays of Mexican courage and patriotism. Here it was the brave Victoria, with a small band of peasante, kept at bay the Spanish armios‘and cut off the convoys of their treasures and provisions, ‘The post isa strong one, and if defended with skill and vigor, will give our army’ much troublo. It is said that La Vega commands the force at the Puerté Nacional, and is determined to fustify by some brilliant dved the high expestations excited by hile manly bearing at Resaca de is Palms. But it will be vain. The impetus which our military strength and confidence have received from the previous success of our army, will bear it trinmphantly over all the obstacles of Mexi- can valorand fervor. This bridge passed, the road lies open, and unobstructed to the lovely city of Jalapa, Here our hardy veterans, accustomed to the low marshy valley of the Rio Grandoe and the arid plains of Coahuila and Nuovo Leon, like the republican army of Napoleon, after passing the frigid and rugged heights of San Bernard, and pitching their tents in the smiling vale of the Arno, will suddenly find themselves transported into a region of surpassing benuty, fertility and salubrity. Here they may stretch their war-worn frames on beds of roses and violets, and feast their senses on all that is rich and beautiful in’ nature. The cool, bracing air of the mountain mingles with the soft, health-giving breeze from the Gulf, and the combination produces an atmos- phere of perpetual spring. Here will floek the poor peasants with the various produce of this rich valley, with inexhaustible supplies of luscious fruit and nutri- tious food, But delightful as the scene andvits pleasures are, our army should not rest hore longer than to refresh their tired bodies and repair the damage of the hard service on the sandhills of Vora Crus, and of the march from the set highly detri hardy matures and rough habits of our soldiers would run riot in the luxurious abundance of Jalaps. Onward, onward, must be the i Continual activity is the true secret of military discipline. Soldiers are always happier, and more obedient and docile under the excitement of a mareb, than when in camp under the dominion of idlo- ness and ennué, ‘There is no reason why our army should stop for any longth of time at Jalapa. The sum- mer in this high region is mild and temperate, the road is level and beautiful, and the country through which it passes in fertile and productive. In ten days our army could march from Jalaps to the city of Mexico. Here, we think, the enemy would offer no resistance, the city not admitting of any effective defence against artillery. ‘If the Mexicans were determined not to yield their capital without a blow, it would be struck before our army arrived'within sight of the city. But with a foreo of 20,000 strong, we do not apprehend any serious dif: culty in taking: the capital. Once possessed of this famous El Dorado of our soldiers, this maguificent elty oble race who fell beneath the bloody sword of we shall then be prepared to listen to the over- tures of the enemy for peace, or if such overtures are not made with all due humility, to take possession of the whole republic as the lawful spoils of war, and to govern it with the laws of our republie, APFAIRS IN MEXICO.

The letter also states that the number of lives lost by the Mexicans during the attack on Vera Crus, is much greater than has been published. In La Patria of the 7th. several extracts are given from the Republicano, which is published in the city of Mexico, filos*of which, up to the 17h March, have been reocived, After detailing the lamentable condition to which the civil war now raging in Mexicohad reduced the city and its inhabitants, it gives various particulars of outrages that had been committed, sich a as- Rusrinations, robberies, &e.; in fot it is erime enough fA person to appear in the stroets decently dressed, to be insulted every moment by the partizans of the go- yernment.

The City Election—News from Santa Fe—Terrrible En- counter—Libel Suit—Markets, $c. $e. We have just passed through « highly exciting muni- clpal election. Contrary to the anticipations of the most sanguine two months since, the democratic party of this city has triumphed, and both nativism and whig- gery are prostrate—at least for the present. The elec- tion of yesterday terminated in the entire success of the democratic general ticket. For Mullanpby, the democratic candidate for the mayoralty, there were 2,456 votes polled; for’ Campbell, native, 1,890, and for Lucas, whig, 961, making the majority of the successful candidate 634 votes over his nativist opponent, and 1493 over the whig. In the board of aldermen, the same party has elected six out of the seven members to be elected, and in the board of delegates ten out of twelve. The election, though # highly interesting one, passed off quietly, and not a scene of riot was presented during the day. In this contest the whigs did not expect « further vic- tory than the defeat of the nativist party, which is com- posed almost exclusively of quasi whigs. ‘They little ex- pected, however, to find their old opponents so strong as the latter turned out to be; nativism in this city, it is generally thought, iy now defunct, and henceforth the wattle will be betwoen the two old parties. In bringing about the result of this election the demo- cratic paper here, the Union, exerted a very considera- ble agency, Heratofore, the party of which It is now tho organ, has beon distracted by local differences. ‘Through n, these, ina great party now acta with Ee measure, been healed, and th | a unanimity which attests its real strength. A dreadful disaster occurred yesterday morning about two, on board the steamer Simon Kenton, while the boat Yar lying by temporarily, at Clarksville, on the upper Mississippi. One of the connecting pipes broke, as it is supposed, from the settling of the machinery,and the steam escaping among the crow and deck passongers, several ‘sona were badly scalded. Among the number was Mr. Mead, of Keokuck, who died of his injuries, a few hours after the accident. Oneof the enginecrs, also, was badly scalded, and five or more of the deck passengers. ‘e havo noching further from Santa Fe aince the ar- rival of Mr. Caldwell, tho particulars of whose intelli- gence I sent you. A dreadful rencontre took placo at Quincy, Illinois, on Saturday evening last. Two printers, formerly ot this city quarrelled about a young lady to whom one of them was to have been married on that very evening. They met accidentally, when one of them, Magner, drow a reast. Luckett, finding himself wounded, drew a bowie knifo and stabbed his assailant to the heart. Magner died immediately, but some hopes aro entertained for Luckett’s recovery. James G.

Gazette It is usual at the mills to have two sets of hands, one employed in the day, and the other inthe night. About nix o'clock, yesterday morning, as they were about re- lieving the night hands, and some twenty-eight individu- als were in the mills, from some cause as yet unknown, the packing house and press room suddenly exploded. Two distinct explosions, it is said, were heard, ay not simultaneourly. It is curious ti the subtle agent which produced all this mischief, which may be inferred from the fact that a gentleman who re- sides five miles to the north of this city distinetly felt the concussion,and for along time wondered what produced it The powder mills are situated about 33 miles south of Philadelphia, and the vibrations produced in the atmos phore by the explosion extended sensibly a distance of nearly 40 miles from the spot. Fortunately forthe other buildings, the amount of powder at the mills was not so , who are contractors with the United States government for supplying powder to the army in Mexico, had sent off a large quantity to that destination, clae the effects would have been as terribly destructive as they were some twenty-cight years ago, when the ex- plosion followed from one building of the’ mills to ano- ther until it reached the magazine, when a most terrible destruction was produced.

Ahead of one of the bodies, though so much dis- figured that it could not be known to which of the blackened and mutilated trunks it had belonged, we were informed was found the best part of a mile from any of the bodies, and nearly all the human remains were 0 dreadfully torn and discolored as to be with great dificulty recognized by thelr friends. ‘The picture was indeed one of the most heart-rending that it is pos- sible to imagine. —Philad.
