The Mexican War. THE CAPTURE OF CHIHUAHUA. [From the St. Louis Union, Ey > 28. The following ts @ translation of Col. Doniphan’s Pro- clamation on taking possession of Chihuahua. We give ita free translation, as we are somewhat rusty in our Spanish :— PROCLAMATION @f the Commander-in-Chief of the North American forees in Chihuahua The Commander-in-Chief of the North American forces in Chihuahua announces to all the citizens of that State, that he has taken milttary of the capi- tal, and has the pleasure of assuring them that in it com- plete tranquility exists, He invites all the citizens to return to their houses, and continue in their ordinary occu os fo aie to them security of person, property, and religion. He declares, also, in the name of his Government, that having taken possession of the capital since be conquer- ed the forces of the State, he holds possession of the whole State, i He invites all ofthe oltizens, pueblos and’rancheros to continue their trade, coming to this capital to buy and sell just as they did before recent occurrences, for no one will be molested or annoyed in any thing, as he be- fore has explalned that the property of each person will be respected; and that in case the troops of his command need any thing, the value of it will be paid, at its just Price, with all punctuality: He pledges himself in fle manner, that the American troops will punish promptly every excoss committed, either by the savage Indians or any other individuals. Ho assures again all good citizens that we war only against the army,and not against individual citizens who are unarmed. For this, we exact only, not that any Mexican should tako up arms against his country, but that in case of ac- tual war, he shall remain ; for it must not, on the contrary, be expected th hall respect the rights of those who tal inst our views, DER G. DONIPHAN. Commander-in-Chief, BATILE OF SAN FRANCISCO. Craven xean Moxtener, Mexico, Feb, 27, 1847. i Lieut, Col. Irwin, with three Tcompanies, composed of the 2d Ohio, was attacked at Marin by Gon. Jose Urrea, with aix hundred lancers, on Wednosday,the 24th instant. Urrea was repulsed with loss. Col. Morgan, of 2d Ohio regiment, on the evening of the 23d instant, received or- ders at Cerralvo, from Gen. Taylor, to concentrate his regiment and march to Monterey. ‘Adjutant Joline was despatched to Major Wall, at Puntaguda, with orders from the colonel to destroy all government stores, and march at onee to Cerralvo, By the risk and gallantry of Joline, Major Wall reached Cerralvo at midnight, and before day on the morning of the 24th instant, ‘wo’ fired all government stores, tents, and a vast amount of eloth- ing, and took the line of march for Monterey. We marched all day and night of the 24th, and arrived at Papigas on the morning ofthe 25th. We heard the firing Marin, eighteen miles from there. After resting for an hour, we again pushed on; and at 2 o'clock, P. M., reached the ground on which tho train under Lieut. Bar: bor was captured on the day previous. | Fifty bodies were found on the ground horribly mutilated, and these were worthy bodies of the unarmed wagoners, and six or eight ofthe bodies wore thrown into the flames. Lieut, Barber and his command were taken prisoners. At 4 o'clock, P. M., we reached Marin, and learned that Lieut. Col. Irwin’ had recelved succor from Monterey, and had marched from Marin at 12 o'clock, M.,on thint day, At 11 o'clock, P. M., we again took the line of march, and at & Ilttle before 7’o’clock, a mile and ahalf beyond Agua Frio, we were attacked by General Joso Urrea, with 00 lancers. We immediately formed a hollow square, and in this formation continued to march, halting at every hundred yards to repel the charge of the enemy--marched one mile beyond Auga Frio without losing a man; but being surrounded en every side by the enemy, Colonel Morgan thought it prudent to send a courier to overtake Licutenant Colonel Irwin. Lieutenant Stewart, of the Highland company, volunteered to discharge the perilous duty, Lhe lancers lined the chapparal within fy yards of theroud, as far as the eye could see—Licutenant Stew- art, with a friendly Mexican and an American, dashed out gn ithe road,and the enemy opened a heary fire from both sides of the chapparal. ‘Tho Mexican was killed and the American wounded, but Stewart dashed gallant- ly on. General Urrea now formed his command tomake ® combined charge upon thefront of our square. ‘The lancers soon appeared on every side; they were splendidly equipped, and manceuvred beautifully. When the word was given to charge, the Mexicans raised a wild yell, which was answered back by three long and deafenin, cheers from our square. The Mexicans dashed on until they arrived within soventy yards, whon the word was n to fire, A destructive blaze issued from every side of the square. and many a saddle was emptied, and many ® Mexican officer and soldier was seen to reel and tumble from his horse. Urrea again fell back, caused his men todiamount, and opened a heavy fire upon us from the ehapparal. ‘Colonel Morgan sont Captain Latham for- ward with bis company, with orders to dislodge them. ‘The enemy again falling back the colonel rode forward to try to discover the squadron of the enemy galloping across the road for the position of the enemy. He ob- served » purpose of forming in our front. The officer commanding the lancers gallantly wheeled his hor saluted the colonel by touching his cap, and then bec oned him towards hii. ‘The colonel returned the salute, rode back to the square, and ordered the music to up Yankee Doodle.” Our square was again and we marched about a hundred yards, when a heavy, but ill-aimed fire was opened from the chapparal. Our flag was now unfurled, and for fifteen minutes the chap- ed with a line of fire, Captain Graham, assistant quartermaster, waa now killed by a shot from the enemy; he fought gallantly,and one ino- ment before he unhorsed a lancer. One or two of our men were also alightly wounded. Small parties were now detached, and sent into the chapparal, and in twenty minutes we had succeeded in driving the onemy from both flanks, and from our front to the rear. Throughout the fight Maj. Wall displayed great courage. In the early part of the action a ball whizzed near his head, when the old major exclaimed, “ Why see how d-—d careless they are, they would just as soon hit a fellow asnot.”” It wax nearly 11 0’ clock; we had been fighting four hours, and had marehed threo miles during the fight. We werenow near San Francisco, One of cur men stationed on the top of a wagon, to observe the movements of the enemy, reported that infantry and artillery were approaching, and he thought they were Mexicans. Colonel Morgan immediately called a halt, and informed Captain Siefert that he wished him to select ‘ffty pleked mon, and to await order to charge upon the battery. In three minutes fifty volunteers were under the command of Captain Siefert and Lieutenant Armstrong, and the colonel was on the point of masking a division in the ehapparal, and ordering @ charge upon the battery, when, to our great joy, we recognized our own glorious comrades rushing to our assistance. Stewart came as he went, in a gallop, and Lieut, Col. Irwin,with his com- mand, ebkindled with joy and enthusiasm, galloped for- ward at the heud of higeolumn; hg brought with him 160 effective men and two six-poundem® one under command of Captain Bradley, the other under command of Capt. Carnes. Colonel Morgan sent Lieutenant Colonel Irvin. with the flold pieces and his infantry, to take up posi- tion five handred yards to the ing the position occupied by the enemy. The fight re- commenced with great onergy, but the destructive fire from the artillery, and the well-directed aim of the in- fantry, soon drove the enumy from their last position, and they retreated with precipitation. Before the arri- val of Lieutenant Colonel Irvin, with his one hundred and fifty men, our fighting foree was two hundred ; the reinforcement increased our strength to threo hundred and fifty. Irwin’s command consisted of detachmunts of three Ohio and two Kentucky companies, all of whom fought with great courage. ‘The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded, as is reported by o Texan ranger, who passed over the ground after the battle, is 60 or 70, among whom wore several officers; our total loss was four or five, two killed and three wounded—one of the weunded since dead. A detachment of about a hundred and fifty men of our regiment at Camargo, under Cap- tains Regnolds and Conipe and Lieut, Markland, They will join us on the first opportunity. All the non-combe- tants, as they are usually onlled—the musicians, the sur- goon, assistant su nd all the hospital attendants qurere armed for, the fight, as wall as thoir professional duties proper. We find that our men should be able to torn thelr hands to anything im this ountry, On the morning of the 28th, we shall take up our march for Sal. illo, Major Wall, with four companies, will occupy the Rinconada paasos, Col. Morgan, and Lieutenant Colo- nel Irwin, with six companies, march to Saltillo. Colonel Morgan displayed the utmost coolness and bravery du- ring tho whole engagement. Every offloor and private in command distinguished himself by his personal bra- very ed from Cerralvo to Monterey, a dis- tauce of eighty miles, in sixty hours, and four hours of that we were ongaged with the enemy. Major Giddings, with five companies It Ohio, also marched to our assia- tanoo, Although they marched with great rapidity, they did not arrive until after the battle was over. At Marin we found n part of the stores taken from Barber's train, and the buildings containing them were fired and destroyed. Marin ia in ruins! Very respectfully, your friend, &e. P. 8.

Crrapet Font, Monteney, Mexico, February 26, 1847. § In ten toring my heartfelt congratulations on your brilliant success at Saltillo, | deem it proper for your in- formation to apprize you of our position and the opera- tions at this point. On the 20th inst., in consequence of the departure of Brigadier General Marshall to join your forces, the command devolved on me, With the excep- tion of a few officers of the goneral staff of the army on duty here, and a few wounded and sick from the general hospital, the force, as you are aware, is entirely volun- teers. My regiment Ist Kentucky foot volunteers, was en- camped at the citadel, and the Ist regiment Ohio volun- teors, under command of Major Giddings, occupied tho ‘The dofences of the eity under that most energetic and skilful engineer, Captain Fraser, were far from being. in #8 state of completion, and his utmost exertion, were called into requisition to place the works in condition to resist such force as was probable could be brought against it, as was momentarily expected. On the morning of tho 24th inst., deoming it prudent to concentrate my forces, | or- dered Major Giddings to join me with his command in the citadel. All the government stores ring been pre- viously removed and stored here by the exertions of the officers in charge of them, and under the active and wil- ling co-operation of my command, | soon tound myself, equal in All respects to sustain the honor of our fing, if ‘Through my reconnoltring, and other sourees of in- formation, it was ‘scertgined that large. forces of the ouemyfwere surrounding me, though none inade their | &ppearance here; and this was confirmed on the morning | of the 24th instant by a despatch from Lt. Col. Irwin, of | the 2d regiment Ohio, that his command of 130 men was | in Marin, surrounded 7 a large body of the enemy, un- | der command of Gen. Urrea. Subsequently | received such information as excited the apprehension that » train of 106 wagons, escorted by Lt. W. F. Barbour, wit 30 men from the 1st regiment Kentucky volunteers, would be cut of below Marin. I despatched Maj. J’ B. Shepard, Ist regiment Ken- tucky volunteers, with tive companies of infantry, thirty mounted men, and two 4-pounders, to relieve Lt. Col. Ir- win, with discretionary orders to proceed beyond Marin, with a view to secure a train and escort ; and I have the fieation to unnounce that Muj. Shepherd, who vo- wnteered for the service, performed it in the most prompt and gallant manuer ‘and without loss. le did not proceed beyond Marin, having ascertained that the wagon train and escort had been captured near Ramos. About forty-five persons, nearly all teamsters, were killed, a number taken prisoners, and the wagons and probably most of the stores destroyed. A few of the teamsters and one of the escort escaped and have come into this place. ‘This morning it was ascertained that the enemy was im force at Aqua Frio, (twelve miles distant,) and had surrounded and attacked Col. Morgan, commanding 2d Ohio volunteers, with about 200 of his command, who was marching to this place. On the receipt a despatch from Col. Morgan, Lt, Col. Irwin, with bis command, and the troops which had been despatched to his relief, encamped at Wulnut Springs, promptly proceeded to the point and arrived iu time to render essential service in aiding Col. Morgan to disperse tho enemy. I despatched Major Giddings, of tho 1st Olio regiment volunteers, with three companies of his command, to unite with Lieut. Col. Irwin in reaching Col. Morgan, but he did not reach the place of attack until the forces in advance had dispersed the onemy, though it is due to Major Giddings tosay that he displayod great promptness and activity in marching on the duty to which he was ordered. T have the satisfaction to announce the return of the several detachments above referred to, but regret te state that one man of his command was killed in the command at Aqua Frio, Col. Morgan has arrived here with the larger part of his eommand, and | have the honor to enclose his report, In concluding this report, which | have endeavored to make as briofas posible, | deem it my duty, as well as pleasure, to recommend to your peste A) notice, Captain G. D, Ramsey, ordnance commander, whose promptness and efficiency in the diseharge ofthe many duties of his department, are worthy of the highost commendation; and in addition to these he rendored me exsential service im aiding, in arranging and drilling aportion of my com- mand in artillery tactics. It is ay duty and pleasure to commend tho very prompt and faithful manner in which Capt. A. Montgomery, assistant quartermastei charged his duties, rendered unusually onerot necessary removal of all the stores, &c., from the the fort, Lieut. Stewart, of the 3d artillery, A.C. 8., was as- siduous in the discharge of his duties, and, in addition, volunteered his valuable aid in drilling my men at the has dis- uns. have the homox 66 be, very respectfully, ko.

Vena Cruz, March 30, 1847, The 2d dragoons had a fine fight, and mostly of their ewn, on the 2oth, at the stone bridge, some few miles in the rear of Vera Cruz. They made a most beautiful charge over the bridge, routed the enemy in a force of 1000 and by hes pursued them for more than five miles and until dark, when they were either all routed or put to the sabre.

Yet this part of our great State, and espesially this county, deserves occasional notice. St. Clair county is the oldest in this State, having been organized by the Governor and Judges of the “North Western Territory’ in 1790, and then inciuded all the settlements in the prairie regions on the east side of the “ Great Water,” as the aboriginal name Misasis- sippi signifies. It is still one of the largest counties in this great and growing State, containing over one thou- sand square miles of the most fertile soil, and nearly 20,000 inhabitants. Besides a“ sprinkling” of various nations and colors, the mixed descendants of various Indian tribes, Afri- cans, Spanish, Poles, &c., we have three principal classes of Anglo-Saxon, German and French descent. Those of French origin were of the ancient European settlers, the pionsors which planted themselves in the Indian villages of Cahokia and Taumarois (now Prairie du Port) in 1682, when La Salle went down the Mississippi and planted his trading posts inthis remote region. About one-third of the population are German immigrants and their children, who came amongst us since 1830. In lan- ange, manners, habits, society, and feelings, they are fast becoming Americanised, Amalgamation amongst ith into contact with the Mexican lance, but | cannot give particulars. ‘The following officers wero in the splondid charge of our cavalry, on the 25th, near Vera Cruz: Col.

Wan Derantment, Apivraxt Grxerat's Orrice, Washington, April 15, 1847. § 1. By the 6th section of an act of Congress, Approved March 8, 1847, the President {s “authorized to accept the services of individual volunteers to fill vacancies which may occur by death, discharge, or other causes, in the volunteer regiments or corps now in the service of the United States, or which may be received during the ex- inting war with Mexico.” And it being very desirable to fill the ranks of the voluatecr regiments, the respec- tive Colonels are requested to take prompt measures and give the necessary instructions to recruit their compa- nics to the full standard of 100 privates each. It is sup- pored that many individuals may be found near the camp, willing to enter the volunteer service, and who may how be logally enrolled on the spot; but to in- sure the requisite number to fill vacancies, it is suggested to the commanders of regiments, that other measures may be taken by sending such company officers, not to exceed three in number, as may be out of health—or not unwilling to engage in the important duties of recruiting for their respective regiments, to the districts in which they wero rained, with all the necessary end proper in- structions. The President, duly appreciating the ardor and patriotism of the volunteer officers, trusty that a ficient number may be found who will cheerfully leave the camp for a temporary absence on 40 indispen- sable a service—the more especially, as it is well known that the duties in campaign often impnir the health of many valuable officers, upon which class such details usually fall. ‘Tho names of the officers selected, and the places to which they may be ordered, will be reported to the Adjutant General, who ,will forward the rolls, and supply such other instructions as may be found necessa- ry. None but effective, able bodied men will be received. 2, The recruiting officers for the volunteer service, who may be detached by their Colonels, will be furnished with muster rolls, in which they will immediately enrol tho name of each individual. who may engage to enter the service for the period of the war; aud the persons 10 enrolled to fill up companies will be entitled to one day's pay and allowances for every 20 miles they may travel from the place of enrolment to the general rendezvous by the nearest mail route, being at the rate of 72 cents for o private of Infantry, and $1 40 for a private of mounted corps, ‘The regular monthly pay and allow- ai mmence from the day the volunteer arrives at the place of rendezvous, if he be received as an effective, able bodied recruit. 3, Volunteers will be sont in convenient detachments to places of general rendezvous or depots, where they wil be mmediately inspected. by the commanding or other proper officer and surgeon; and any found defeetive or unsound, will be rejected as unfit for service. Ax soon as 100 reoruite are assembled for any one regiment, they will immediately be put in route for the army in the field. 4, For the convenience and better accommodation of the volunteers raised in the United States, the following military posts are designated av places of rendezvous, or , Where rations and quarters will be fur- Volunteers Recruited.

All our fears as to the threatened overflow of the Mis- sissippl, it would seem, are being realized. Already the town of Bayou Sara is encompassed by the back water, and several of its streets impassable on foot, In fact, eighteen inches more rise will cause an inundation equal to thet in 1844, Several families have moved on the hill, and more are seeking places of refuge in the country, The destruction to pl said to be iminenso—many plantations, if not entirely overflowed, being rendered equally useless by transpira- tion water, The river continues to rise at this point.—- if Ne St, Francisville Chron, 24rh ult. the young folks will soon destroy all distinction, W the exception of a dozen Anglo-Saxon families, who had located near the French villages on the American bo' tom, no settlements were made by that class in the coun- ty, until 1802, when Turkey Hill, Ogle’s Prairie, and seve- ral other small settlements were formed. In a state of nature about one-third of this county was a dense forest, one third clear prairie, and the remuin- ing portion an intermediate grade, in western parlance called “ Barrens.”’ ‘This does not indicate poor land, but is a term employed to denote its covering, being ® mix- ture of grass, and scattering, shrubby timber. ‘The Eng- lish term, meadow, will convey the correct {i ea of apral. rie. Dry, wet. level and undulating are fhere circum. stances, as in forest land. Much idle speculation has been indulged about the origin of our western prairies. If any one will tell wh: certain portions of the carth’s surfaco are clothed wit! heavy timber, there are plenty of “sucker” boys who will account on natural principles for the existence of prairies. The truth is where timber first gets possession, grass will not grow except to a limited extent, and where forms a tough sward timber will not take root. ot the grass carpet be destroyed. as is the case in a few years where settlements are formed, and timber aprings up and grows with astonishing rapidity, In this county are many thousands of ncres. which, forty years since, contained not a single shrub, but now are clothed with dense and heavy forests. In all the old settled counties of Illinois, timber increases much faster than itcan be ‘The vast prairies of the West, in due season will bo wa red with farms, and dotted over with towns and villages Agricultural prospects are quite favorable with us at present, and our currency has not been better in thirty years.
