Mr J. MeKntght, a merohent de New Mexico, whose arrival at Independence we noticed some days ago. reached this city. Mr. MeKnight came into the settlements with the party of United States officera and others whore arrival we noticed oa Monday last. but he left bevaig +e ‘se days later than they did. He compan Mr. Owens. of thi trip Throagh in tw ty-tive days, bape te bee a fairs were quiet in Santa Fé at the time of their leaving. but the number of persons tried by the court at Taos, and sentenced to be hung. had created a deep and wide-spread sensation among the Mexicans, in ery quarter, and particularly among the Puebla Indians.— Eleven persons had been tried and convicted of high treason to the United States, and sentenced to be hung. ‘The execution had been carried into effect on the 11th of April, and before Mr. MeK. left the Mexican settle- y Vegas, an express arrived frem the leading men of ‘Taos to the people of Vegua, to hold themselves in readiness to march to Taos, if they were needed. From theae and other circumstances, the opinion was general that there would be another attempt at revolution. The alcalde, and other leading men at Vegas, were attempting to keep down the spirit of revo- lution. So exasperated are the feelings of the Indians and the Mezicana, that nothing but the presence of a strong fores can keep them down. Mr. MoK. represents thy Camanche Indians as very hostile and troublesome to the traders and government trains. He gives us the same uccount tha: we have heretofore published of their taking the horses and mules of Messrs, Wood and Sanford, at the Caches, on the Arkavsas. This is near where the United States government is putting up a depot, or station fort. The Camanches came within fifty yards of the fort, and jock off in sight of the men. ‘They also at- tacked Mr. Mck. and Mr. Owens, at Walaut Creek, fired upon them several timos, and succeeded in getting off two mules. It is their intention to attack all parties drove th which they think they are strong enough to rob, A short time ago, @ Mr. Brown, a Santa Fe trader, with a train of wagons, left the settlements for Santa Fe. Nothing definite bad been heard from them, until the day our informant left Independence lauding. ‘That day one of Mr. Brown's men came into Independence, and gave the information, that, at the crossing of the Arkan- sas, the Camanches attacked Mr. Brown's party, which, being few in numbers, was not prepared for resistance; took from him ali hiv mules and his merchandize. We do not learn that any of the men had been injured, but Mr. B's. expedition must be ma- torially injured, or totally destroyed by this robbery. ANECDOTES OF CERRO GORDO, From the New Orleans Picayune, May 19). Mr. Kendall, in one of his last letters, relates several anecdotes, current in the army, which {llustrate parti- cular portions of the action at Cerro Gordo, and give individuality to the parties engaged in them.’ It is not to be expected that a despatch, howevor elaborate, can embrace all, or indeed many, of the acts ot heroism which contribute to the success of battle; and it is only in the way of anecdote and army gossip, which grow inte traditions.that many of the most daring acts of chi- valry are preserved. The following ruse de guerre gives us to understand that Col. Harney ia quite as fertile in expedient. when need be, as bold ia action. With the Rifles, a portion of the Ist Artillery and one company of the 7th Infantry, this dashing officer had in tho morning driven the Mexicans from two hills which were overlooked by their strong work on Ceiro Gordo, but which were a with groat loss, aud so many had been detailed to cai mer of the line is in i Aigr e course of construc iw fall in PES MAIL STEAMER FOR SOUTHAMP- N AND BREMEN.—Passengers. by who have eng: berths, but not yet taken ont th for the wime, at the Ocean eneral Emigration Office, 7 % ‘ ; i South street, New York. ‘Tapacott’s Emigrants’ Travelling Guide oan'be had on ap orermnpemt es ity OLD ESTABLISHED PASSAGE OFFI 219 Peart Strix: SAMUEL OMPSON AND NEPHEW.

Whe SR TAPSCOLT, “ 96 Bouth sweet, New York. off the wounded and take care of the dead. that in the aflernoon the colonel found himself with but mere handful of men. to protect and sustain the position he had won with so much diffleulty. About 2 o'clock in the afternoon the Mexicans made a tremendous demon- stration, as if to retake the heights. Happening to be in a valley direetly between Col, Harney and Corro Gordo, whither a few of us had gone, under cover of the tress and brushwood, to obtain a good view of tho Mexicans @n tho latter hill, we had a most exeellent opportunity of seeing the whole movement. A furious clang of tram- pets first announced that the enemy was in motion, and soon we could see a longline of infantry marching down the steep hill side, and making directly for the height now occupied by Colonel H. and” his small brt gallant band. With such tremendous fury did the trumpeters blow their instruments, that one unused to them would have thought ‘that they alone were sufficient to drive every Yankee com- pletely from the heroic and sacred soil of Mexico. Onward still they came, and onward; louder came the blasts feom the trumpets, doubtless to give themselves courage, as they neared the spot where they knew they would meet with war to the death. The position was all-important tothent, and a host was on the way to at- taek it, Soon they reached arpot almost within inusket range, and while they had halted a moment to form, to recover their wind, and collect and strengthen their nerves for the coming struggle, Col. Harney improved the occasion to play off a regular trick upon them. His men were partially coucealed bebind the brow of the hill, yet he himself was in plain view of the hostile host; and ‘ow he commenced a harangue which would have served for an army of 20.000 men, appointed every way with cannon, with cavalry, with mortars, and with all the ap- pliauces of wor, “Dou't shost yet !? shouted he to his little band. and his lungs are none of the weakest; “wait till they come closer, aud then give them h—l! Don't draw a trigger, | tell you—double charge thos» cannons, there, with grape aud canister, and walt till I give the word. | don’t want one of them ever to get back alive!”” In this strain he went on interlarding his battle speech with « few more of the strongest kind of adjectives than 1 care about repeating. ‘The effect was glorious, Nota wordof the harangue, which might have been heard a milo, was lost upon the Mexicans, not a quarter of that distance off ; and as some of them understood English, and at once interpreted the speech, especially about double loading the cannon with grape and canister, to the commanding officer, he very prudently wheeled ‘his men and marched back the way he came without firing n gun! It is needless to say that Col, Harney had nothing in the shape of a cannon with him—it was the strongest kind of a“bluff game” he was pliying, and the sequel shows that he won at ft. During the same afternoon Licut, Reno, with two of Talcott’s mountain howitzers, did not a little execu- tion by pitching grape and spherical case into the Mexi- cans. The latter are most destructive, and after one or two dosesof them had burst upon the retiring colama of the enemy; it was noticed that their pace improved materially On the following day, at the storming of Cerro Gordo, the leading men of the 3d and 7th infantry reached op- poxite sides of the cireular breastwork of brash the Mex- tean# hed erected to protect their main fortification on the crest of the hill) The enemy had all been driven with loss from this outer work, and the victors had halt- ed for a few moments to coliect their breath and wait for those who were more exhausted to come up, preparatory tothe main attack upon the stronghold, when Lieut. Clitz, of the 3d, saw some of the men of the other regi- ment clambering over the breastwork, “iurra! 34)? he ejaculated; “over and at them, or the 7th will be in d together the two gallant their previous high reputation in this trying action, and | trust that all our readers may read the official reports of their daring deeds of valor.
