We publish in thisday’s Herald many of the details of intelligence recently received from the city of Mexico, and they remove all doubts as to the safety of our gallant little army. The par- tieulars of the victories achieved by our troops are intensely interesting, and will be read with most absorbing attention. This day’s Herald includes all that has yet come to hand, When we receive any further news from the same quarter, we shall give it to our readers as fully as we can. What we publish to-day, may be relied upon} The Military Spirit of the American People. ‘The Progress of Repubiicanism. Notwithstanding the facts of our history, ever since we first became an independent people, and in spite of the evidence of several successful wars, the people of Europe, until lately, held us in great contempt asa military people. This is perhaps not surprising, considering that, until witnin a few years past, the distance which se- parated us from Europe was in reality so_much greater than it now is. The salient points of our history, and the events of our world, lost much of their interest in Europe, and excited but little attention, because when first reported there, they were already comparatively old and past. Another almost sufficient reason why Eu- rope thought contemptuously of us as a mili- tary people, was the fact of our enterprise and skill in the pursuits of commerce. Calling us generically by the name of “ Yankees,” and that word having become synonymous with a “keen dealer” and skilful shopkeeper, they settled down into the notion that Americans were a people generally destitute of genius and enthusiasm, and so wholly absorbed in the pursuit of money as to be incapable of any other ambition or any other pursuit. The events of the present war with Mexico, related as they now are in the salons of Paris and London almost as soon as they reach us in New York, are beginning, very considerably, to open the eyes of Europe toa better understand- ing and more correct appreciaticn of Ameri- cans and American character. It is, in sober truth, of very little importance to us to obtain the name and fame of being a war- like people, nor do we mean to desire by these remarks, that our fame inthe world should rest upon such a basis and such a superstructure. Allwe desire is not to be mistaken and not to be belied; that the truth should be known and recognized. Now the truth is, that since the heroic times of ancient Greece and Rome, there has not been seen in the worlda people so decidedly martial, or eminently qualified for military achievements, so soldierlike and spirited, in and for battle, as the American people. . ‘We speak the sober conviction of our minds from what we have known—from what we have seen—from what we daily read and hear. So far from the assertion of this fact deserving to be called bombastic, as Europe is accustomed to treat our just claims to what is due to us, the fact itself is as natural and as inevitable as it is true. It cannot be otherwise, because since the bright days of Greece and Rome, to which we have referred, there has not been in Europe or the world a people endowed with the same institu- tions, animated with the same spirit, or impelled by the same motives, until we first appeared as a nation on the great theatre of the world. There have been republics since those days; there have been republicans; but there have been no demo- cracies in the world since the days of Leonidas and the Thermopyle until now with us in Ameri- ‘ea. This explains the secret; we are a demo- t R Anderson, 3d Art., severely. | | cratic people; and such a people, in the nature of things, must rule and prevail and shine and sue- efact of the great military spirit and enthusiasm of the Ame- ricans can never be denied by any one who hes seen the simplest parale of volunteers, even in citizen’s dress Such a martial bearing— such a military abandon—such confidence, cheerfulness, and vigor, stamped on every depicted in every movement, stirred up in every breast, as they march along at the sound of the drum, 1s to be seen no where but in Amer The European soldier is a slave—the Amerjcan a free man. The European is a ma- chine—the American is spirit and life. The words, in which the author describes the ani- | mation of female beauty, may with a little altera- tion be applied to the American soldier—‘* War 18 in all his steps, fight in his eye. In all his mo- | tions military spirit.” It is the fashion in the present time to decry | and abuse many necessary and useful things, and, among these, war. That war is sometimes necessary, no one willdeny. If it isnecessary, Since war is necessary, and often unavoidable, then that martial spirit by which alone it can,be carried on suc- cessfully, is something to be envied and ad- mired by men. Such is the spirit which dis- | tinguishes, in a pre-eminent degree,the American | people. As a proof of the existence of this spirit | among us, if proof were wanting, we beg to refer | our readers to the extract from a Kentucky paper | given in another column of this day’s Herald. | The perusal of that article calls to one’s mind the scenes such as Thucydides, Xenophon and Livy have described them in ancient history. There is, in fact, a feature of our own history, strong and marked, and possessing aremarkable similarity with the same scenes which occured so many ages ago, when the bold Thebans fol- lowed paminondas to the field, or the hardy Spartans assembled for certain death under the Leonidas. Indeed, there are in existence anecdotes which we have heard of the most romantic description; ilar little his- tories are known to every one, and occur inevery corner of our great country, mil teading to show the military spirit, ci acity, energy, and devotion of the American people. any of these anec- dotes of high chivalrous bearing, of noblé enthu- siasm, and patriotic devotion, will doubtless be lost to history, and not be gathered up in the pages of our future records, though they are tully equal, in devotion to country, and in pain- | ful self-sacrifice, to the best feats recorded of the heroes of antiquity. Meat We should like to see thee histories collected, which are scattered in rich hig | rig up and down the country. We should like to see re- lated the conduct of Yell of Arkansas, of Pierce of New Hampshire; in a word, of those indi- viduals who, like them, have lett home and for- tune, and every comfort, to shoulder the musket, and undergo all the hardest privations of the common soldier. Such are the men who com- pose our volunteer companies from all the States; such are the men who form our volunteers. Three hundred thousand such men at the com- mencement this war, offered themselves for the battle! Their names ure on record in the Bureau of the War Department. They could not all be accepted, but there they were, anxious to be accepted, and ready to march on to the battle. OVERLAND EXPRESS TELEGRAPHIC TO THE NEW YORK HERALD OFFICE.

The New Orleans Deita’s correspondent gives the fol- lowing account of the entrance into the city after the vhe results and successes of the day :—‘ Gen. Scott in- tended, on the morning of the 18th, to make a lodgment on the new plaza, entering by the San Cosme gate, and bombard the city, and fur this purpose the balance of Gen. Twiggs’ division was ordered from El Piedad to the support of Gen, Worth.” On the night of the 13th, Santa Anne evacuated all his positions and retreated from the oity, baving had more than one half of his army killed and wounded or taken prisoners. Among the latter was Gen. Bravo, with his staff,at Chapultepec. Santa Anns found that if he fought ason the 14th, he would hardly have a body guard left to cover his retreat. Early in the morning the two columns took up their march. Generals Quitman and Smith, at the head of their columns, entered the grand netional plaza at 7 o'clock. The columy was formed iu the plaas by order of Gen. Quitman. The national flug of the vanguard of the Cerro Gordo division, while the command came to a pre- sent, wae flung to the breese on the National Palace, and it now triumphantly waves over the Halls of the Mon- tesumas. Gen. Worth’s command halted four or five squares from the Plaza, where Col. Garland was wounded. About eight o’olock Gen Scott and staff, in full feath- er, escorted by the cavalry, came into the city, amidst the huzsas of the soldiery on all sides. As he entered, the band of the 2d dragoons, mounted, interested the staring crowds with “Hail, Columbia.”’ As the escort entered the Grand Plaza, the band moved the patriotism of the whole of us to alittle higher Pitch, by the good old fashioned national air of “Yankee Doodle.” One of the first acts of General Scott was to appoint General Quitman Civil and Military Governor of Mex- foo, and Col. 8. T, Belton, Lieutenant Governor. Gen. | Quitman’s department embraces the following offloers:— Captain F, N. Page, Assistant Adjutant General; and Lieut, M, Lovell, M. Wiloox, and R. P. Hammond, Aid. de-Camps; Captain G. T. Davis, Secretary; and Mr. Levi, Interpreter. Throughout the 14th, and on the morning of the 15th, the Mexioans continued to fire from the corners and tops of the houses, killing rome and wounding others. The artillory was first tried on them ; but, owing to their unseen position, it was not effective. The rifle regiment and some of the infantry were then sent in pursuit, which force silenced them wherever they went, The Mextoans were very much mistaken when they came to engage the Rifles on the house tops. During their revolutions, they would fight in this way for several days, without doing each other much injury; but the deadly fire of the Rifles, picked them out from their hiding places where they least expected it, and made them very willing to cease 90 unequal a combat. Since our army arrived in the Valley, we have lost | about three thousand men in killed and wounded, thousand men, upwards ef six thousand of been taken prisoners. ‘We have captured 70 pieces of artillery: 27 at the bat- tle of Contreras; 10 in a fort at Churubusco; and 33 on the 12th, 13th and 14th. The last of Mr. Kendall’s letters dated the ‘28th, men- | tions two rumors with regard to Santa Anna, one ol which is, “That he had been taken prisoner by Colonel Childs,” and the other, “that he had been slain by Gen- Alvares and the Congress of Puebla.” The following is one of the latest of Mr. Kendall’s letters: City or Mexico, it. 25, 1847. | Assassinations continue.

Santa Anna has been proclaimed, by Senor Gam- boa, with being traitor to his country, having inten- tionally allowed the Americans te defeat him in every battle; and fimally, se accuses him of having destroyed the nationality of Mexico; the honor and glory of their unfortunate city; and of having compromised in the ca- lamity, all classes of society.

The Union has letters giving the disposition of the Mexican forces. Felasola with 4,000 men, and Gen. Corteyal with 3,000, Leperos and National Guards have united to make s demonstration on the capital. Santa Anna with Gen. Quejana, and 2,000 horse and 1,000 foot, were organizing to obstruct reinforcements going to Gen. Scott, assisted by Rhea with 2,000 men. Should Santa Anna be unsuccessful, he will make his way to the coast, and leave the country. The war hereafter is to be carried on by the different departments or States, each department or State to ope- rate with its own forccs. Telegraphic Despatch, No. 4. Partaverrnia, Oot. 21st, 1817, The New Orleans Delta and Times contain some futrher interesting details. A letter is pnblished from Santa Anna—with his ad- dress on the resignation of the Presidency, but he clear- ly continues directing the operations of scattering por- tions of the army. It issaid- that he has twenty-five hundred regulars, besides guerillas. It was rumored at the capital by messengers from Pu- ebla on the 27th, that Generals Paredes, Bustamente, and other influential persons, were about to invite a foreign Prince to Mexico, to settle the difficulties of the country. There are papers from the city of Mexico as ‘iate as the 28th, which say that Gen. Quitman issued orders on the 25th, notifying all officers of the Mexican army at the capital to report immediately to the Inspector Gen- | eral of the American army; and another order, dated 27th, regulating the value of commodities. The American shops were again opened, and the thea- tre was crowded to everflowing. Contentment begins to reign throughout the city. Numerous families, em- bracing the softer sex, were seen walking the streets in perfect confidence. The Atlisco National states that General Scott has proposed issuing circulars to the different States, ex- horting them to appoint commissioners with full powers to concludes peace. Also, tnat he had projected an expedition of fifteen hundred men against Toluca. The corporation of the city of Mexico had addressed several proclamations to the inhabitants to remain peaceful, and c¢éase in any manner to injure the Ameri- canarmy. Ifthe proclamations were not complied with, the corporation would guarateo neitheir their lives nor property, as General Scott had issued direct orders that every house they fired from should be immediately levelled to the ground by artillery. The functions of the Mexican Exeoutive were dis- charged by Senor Pena y Pena, associated with Senor Pacheco, and one gentleman whose name is not men tioned. It was supposed that Pena would decide to form a cabinet on the 27th. Telegraphic Despatch No, 5, Pritapenrnta, Oct. 21—2:50—P.

Park Tueatne.—The Bishop opera troupe gave their first performance at the Park Theatre last evening, and were received in a manner which showed at once the favor with which the audience were disposed to greet the enterprise, and the artists on their part gave ample evidence that they would fulfil the promises and fally answer the expectations of their numerous friends. The charming opera of “ Norma’’ always a favorite here, ‘was last night rendered in a stylewhich constitute it a musical treat indeed. The prima donna was in excel- lent voice, and her singing was marked by that fuultless- ness of execution for which she is so remarkable, and her acting was of the energetic and purely dramatic atyle which the role of Norma requires to make it fully effective. In a word, Madame Bishop's efforts were per- fectly suceessful. Mile. Korsizeky, as Adalgitha, was successful as a debutant. She evidently felt some em- barrassment, but the kiud encouragement which she met from her listeners, had the effect to dispel, in a great measure her timidity, and she accomplished her task in @ manner which gives her friends every reason to believe tbat she will excel in the profession which she has chosen. Signor Valtellina, the prime basso of the troupe was, a6 he always is, excellent in the part, (Oroneso.) which was assigned tohim. This was his first appear- nce at the Park, but he was by no means before nce of strangers; he was hailed upon his first ap- pearance na manner that betokened a friendly reoog- nition. He good from first to last, his full rich voice completely fi the houee, and was a noble accompani- | mett to the fine soprano of the prima donna Mr. Reeves the new tenore, made a most favorable impression; his voize is clear and expressive, and when accompanied by by his good acting, gives life and soul to the whole part fois fortunate in’ the possession of a fine personal ap pearance, agreeable countenance and dresses in good taste. Although not so familiar with the Italian language as is desirable ina singer in the Italian Opeaa, yet he acquitted himself well and received great applause. The chorusers are guod and the orchestre fully equal to the performanoe of their duty ‘The manegement of the Park, deserves credit for the manner in which they have second+d the efforts of the Opera troupe by putting the pieces handsomely upon the stage. To aight we are to be entertained with * La Sonambula,”’ (the American version,) in which Madame Bishop, Sig. Valtellina, Mr Reeves, Mile. Corsinski, and Mme. Bouland After the opera, the farce of “Simpson & Co.” will be performed. Bowery Turatre.—The Bedouin Arabs will repeat their extraordinary performances at the Bowery Thea atre,this evening, and astonish, as they have done, all who behold them. The feats ot these children of the desert are indeed wonderful, and to be appreciated must be seen. The performances this evening will commence with the“ Siege of Monterey,” which increases in favor nightly. The Arabs will perform afterwards, and the amusements will conclude with the comedy of the “ Spectre Bridegroom.” CuatHaM Tueatne.—The new domestic drama, the © Mill of Rylard,” bids fair to become popular at the Chatham theatre; as much, if not more so, than any piece that has been produced there in @ longtime. It appears te affect the sympathies ef the audience to as great an extent as the author intended, and we are sure that that individual would be rejoiced to see the way in which itis received. It will be repeated thi ening. C9 Of the “Lady and the Devil,” will be performed. Cincus—Boweny Amrmitneatne —The performances to-night are varied and interesting. They consist of equestrianism, in s variety of entertainments, such as brilliant cavalcades, ‘Don Quixotte.’’ “ Sprite of the Silver Shower,” scenes in she ring, pantomime, dancing. &e. Enough amusement for one night, say we, and doubtless all those who go there this evening will agree with us. Tue Amenican Crnevs—Sanps, Lext & Co.—By an advertisement in another column, it will be seen that the equestrian company of Messrs. Sands, Lent & Co. ave to perform in Paterson, Newark and Jersey oity in the course of a dayortwo. The we'l-known popularity of this elegant troupe will always insure its success, The principal part of the performances devolve upon Mr,Sands in the exercises with his two beautiful children, toge- ther with the dancing horses, May Fly and the ponies we most admire. We oan make no comparisons with anything we have ever | seen before, because his performances are isolated, origi- nal and pecutiar to himswit alone. withont his accompli manageable, no other an on in this country, and but one (Bouchet) in Europe knowing anything aboet perform: ing him.

Cuntsry’s Mixsrnxss.—A happy, singing, careless cos black negro, is decidedly one of the merriest objects im the world, and fully do Christy's Minstrels pourtray the peculiarities of the race. But from the way in which their concert room is crowded nightly, we are inclined to think that their merriment is continual, and though Suginnee they receive ‘o-night they have, 94 every night, their daily song is unvariedly to one tune, viz: “money in both pockets.” And why should they not? They assuredly deserve their good fortune. The price of admission tor each individual is but a trifle, and the amount of amusement lie derives is very great; so it isa fair transaction for ail round. To night, as usual, they have an excellent bill. Ma. Demrsten’s Concent ar THe Tapernacie.—We have already mentioned Mr. Dempster’s return, and the concert which he intends giving this evening at the Tabernacle. We feel a pleasure in bringing it again be- fore the notice of our readers, as we are convinced that the kind of entertainment given by Mr. D. is one that possesses tho highest interest. It is now some few years since Mr. Dempster first came among us, and since then he has sung in every part of the Union, and has always been met with applause and full audiences. About two years ago he left us to return to Great Britain, through the length and breadth of which he gave his concerts, and was as successful there as he was amcng u:, and now he returns to us with his stock of ballads consider- ably replenished. It isa peculiar feature in him, thet he has composed the music for several of his most popu- lar pieces, such as that gem, the Queen, nnd many others Who has not heard of his beautiful mode of rendering thoro touching ballads, the Irish Emigrant’s Lament, the Dying Child, (words by Mary Howitt.) tho Indian’s Complaint. Again, in his native dialect he stands unrivalied; witness his singing of John Anderson My Joe, Saw ye my wee Thing, Tak yer Auld Cloak around ‘ye, ana that glorious rondo glee, in fact, every thing combined, of Duncan G: ‘e can in all sin- cerity assure our readers, that Mr. D,’s concert will ba decidedly # refined and delightful one, Sicnorn Buitz.—But two more evenings are left to witness this gentleman’s performance, We need on! say that be is decidedly great and eminent in his magi- cal tranrsctions . Dr, Coutyer’s Mopeu Axtists.—Again this evening we have « fresh programme set forth. We are glad to find this graceful exhibition is so well attended and pa- tronized: it fully deserves it. Gen. Tom Tuumn is holding five levees every day at the American Museum, each of which is fully attended. The General goon starts for the South and Havana, to er © rep oles aed . abe of the prinaipal cities, im- mediately atter which he retires to private life j his well-earned fortune, PEN savas Metopron.—The Negro Minstrels, at this place of en tertuinment, are doing very well. Master Juba’s danc- ing is much admired. Herz and Sivori are announced for a concert at New Bedford, this evening. Booth, the tragedian, is playing at the Front street: theatre, Baltimore. 7) Pa7 ns St the City Intelligence, Fain ov tae Amentcan Institure.—It will be reool. lected that the fingers of an interesting little girl were chopped off by a machine at the fair lat week. The in- Juries she received will incapacitate her from ever earn- ing ® livelihood, and lest sho might be thrown on the oold charity of the world for her support, we learn that the whole of the proceeds of the exhibition to-morrow, will besettled on her for life. We trust, therefore, that the receipts will be large. We are confident thatit needs but the fact to be known, to ensure the receipt of a sunt sufficient to place the little girl beyond want. Fonrian Pictorrats.—Berford & Co., Aator House, bas received all the English Pictorials. They form en illustrated history of the world as it is. Mr. Wa. H. Hort called upon us, yesterday, and presented a certificate from Kipp and Brown, that he fitted up the car which wasdrawn in the Washington Monument procession, and of which we gave a cut in Wednesday’s Herald. Exrness Favons.—Adams & Co.'s, Harnden & Co's, and Gay & Co.’s express lines, on the arrival of thy. Cambria, furnished us with English papers some bow in advance of the mail, We are aleo indebted to Living: Wells for various attentions in the way of late nd papers from the West, and to Mucro's New w Bedford express for like favors. (§Democnatic Nomisatina Conventions.—The demo- of the oty and ty of New York useumbied last evening, in their district headquarters, for the purpose of nominating caudidates, to be supported by them at the ensuing election, tor seate in the House of Assembly of this State. In most of the districts, the nominating conventions did not do any more than or- ganize, and in such, if any, that nominations were made, the time at which they were made was too late to aliow us to publish them in this day’s paper. We expect to be able to publish a complete iist of them very r00a.
