Col Bonhean. were directed by me to support that portion of Gen Twiggs’s division ordered to attack the first of the | enemy's works at Contreras. o These regiments moved with great alacrity and cool- ness for three fourths ofa mile. under a heavy fire of round shot and shells, to. position a lite and in advance of the battery commanded by Magruder, llery. ‘whos conduct 1 bad an oppor- tunity to observe with admiration, which position they mxintained from two o'clock until 9 o'clock, P.M. At thathour, finding myself,as I believed the senior officer in that part of the field, and learning from Captain Magruder, whose battery had already suffered greatly from the enemy's vastly superior weight of metal, that ptaln | he was authorised by the orders of the general com- manding the division, in oase of an inability to make an ression on the opposite works, to withdraw bis guos. ‘as the force which supported his isting of the 9th and 12th regimente of in- retire to the base ofthe heights, about a mileand a half in frout of the enemy's works. and there to wait further orders. At 1 o'clock on the following morning, (the 20th) Gen T with Capt Lee, of evgineer a whose hed services on both days not, | om ked—came to my bi with orders from the general in-obief to assemble all the forcesin my immediate peighborbood, and occupy a position in order favor of Brig. Gon Smith, who to storm the enemy's works at dawn of dai Being orgeas to her House, during the last 2 rd | myrelf unable to keep wy saddle or to walk, incon 1 fequence of a severe injury from the fall of my horse the day before, the command of this force devolved upon Colonel Ransom, of the 9th infantry The night was extremely dark and the rain poured in torrents, but this gallant and efficent officer succeeded in organizing bis force, und in gaining the position as- signed bim without diftoulty. His presence attracted the fire of the enemy until the storming parties under the direction of Gen. Smith, had crowned the hill im- mediately in rear of their works. And when this bril- lant achievement of storming the enemy's batteries was perfected, Ransom’s command poured a devouring fire into the ranks of the fugitives. After the rout of the enemy at this point, my command, in common with other troops. followed the retiring enemy into the town of San Angel The 16th infantry, which had been pre- viously detached, and under the immediate orders of the general commanding the division, joined the brigade in the pursuit. For the operations of this regiment thus far, | refer to Lieut. Col. Howard's report, herewith en- closed, At San Angel, dispositions having been made to at- tack in reverse the entrenchments on the San Augustin road, my brigade, in concert with that of Gen. Shields, was ordered to cross the open country between Santa Catarina and the above named road, in order to cut off the enemy's retreat. Having arrived at a hacienda near the road, the enemy's iufantry was feund posted on the latter, as far us the rye could reach in either directioi besides cavalry hovering in the cornflelds on our flank and rear. Ta this position our troops received a most galling fire, which for time threw them into seme confusion, but they soon rallied and made a desperate effort to restore the fortune of the day. The intrepid Gen. Shields, sup- ported by Col. Ransom,succeeded in bringing portious of the commands into order, and with the building as a pivot, threw forward their left wings and dashed on the thickest of the enemy, Gen. Shields moving directly on the road where a large body of Mexican infantry w~ concealed in a ditch which skirted it, and from whence they hud hitherto kept up a destructive fire, with oom- parative safety to themselves. Col. Ransom moved more obliquely toward the road, and directed his course to an old village, on the tops and behind the houses of which the enemy were in great force. The rout of the enemy in this part of the field imme. diately became complete. Thus, in fifteen or twenty minutes from the tims when the fortune of the day seemed doubtful. victory perched upon our standard The lo-s sustained by my brigade in the two da: gagements amounts, in killed, wounded and missing, to about 160 menof all geades. That of the 16th regiment, from its exposed position in front of the hacienda, in the Inst aay’s wffair, was by far the greatest. ita gallant colonel, Morgan, was wounded early in the action. I re- gret to state that Lieut. Col. Bonham, commanding the {ath infantry, was severely wounded in the hand by the accidental discharge of his pistol on the morning of the 20th, ia consequence of which I was deprived of one of my most brave and wMelent officers during the ensuing ongegement It was my misfortune, as before stated, to reacive a serious injury from the fall of my horse, on the afternoon of the 10th This accident rendered me unable to struggle with the diMoulties of the ground, over which wo hnd to pags oa the evening of the last duy; aud in tho effort to do ao, I fell, faint from exhaustion and pain, afew yards from the severest fire of the enemy’s line ; and, ditbough in @ position to observe the general con- duct of my brigade, I cannot speak of the individual bearing of my offloere and meu so much from porsoan! observation as from the reportsof my staff and those of the commanders of regiments These show it to have been everything that could be desired ; Indeed, for new troops, their deportment was admirable. I have already spoken of Colonel Ransom and Morgan, and Lieut. Col Bonbam, in terms sufficient- ly indicative of my hearty approbation of their condnct Lieut Col. Howard, who suc:eeded Col. Mor command of the 15th regiment, and Capt. took the place of Lieut. Col Bonham, at the head of the 12th, are not less entitled to my commendation. Among the brave officers of my brigade who fell mor- tally wounded upon the field, I lament to mention Capt. Augustus Quarles, of company F; Lieut. Goodloe, of company B, and Lieut. Goodman, of company E, all of the 1éth infantry. Mojor F. D. Mills, of the 15th infantry, after having behaved in the most gallant manner throughout the ac- tion, near its close followed in pursuit of the foo, since which time he hs not been heard frow, and great fears are entertained for his safety. Commanders of regiments spoak in terms of high commendation of the following offloers:—Major Sey- mour ; Captains Bodfish, Thompson, and Kimball; lat Liouts. C J. Sprague (adjutant), G. Bowers, Jackson, and Slocum; 2d Lieuts. Newman, Palmer, and Pierce; the two former severely wounded, and Sergeant Major MacNabb, acting 2d Lieut. of company F, all of the 9ch infantry ; Capt.

Beach, Beckett, and Wiley, all of the 16tn infantry; Lieut. ‘T. . Brodhead, adjutant of the 1otb4in- fantry, merits the highest commendation for his cool- ness and conduct. I should do violence to my sense of justice were I to omit to notice the admirable bearing of Lieut. Reno, of the Ordnatice, who, although not under my orders, was frequently asrociated with my command in charge of the mountain howitzer battery. with which he rendered signal service, especially on the afternoon of the 20th | have great satisfaction in referring to the intrepid conduct and valuable services of my Adjatant General, Capt.

I fear that, in consequence of engagements not con- nected with my immediate command since my arrival at this place, and the urgent call for this report since my return from Tacubaya, | may have ocoasion to regret the failure to do justice to the distinguished conduct of the officers and men of my brigade.

Esteemep Frienp: Your friendly letter of July 12th I replied to on the 16th August, sending you at the same time a copy of review which | have made of your valu- able books, and & diploma, 0. for you, entrusted to me by the Institute; all of which, making’s tolerable pack- age, were forwarded through Dr. Flugel at Leipsic. Since then I have received yours of the 26th July, and at once git down to anawer it by post. First, { tender you my thanks for the interest with which you have taken up my views concerning the ob- servations ef Venus, and for the effective manner in which you have undertaken to make the plan known in the United States. The article in the National Intelli- gencer (No. 10.733) expresses my ideas thoroughly, as you will probably have seen in the more complete essay, (Astronemiche Nachrichten, No, 699,) which has ere this reaebed you [regret to observe that | neglected to express in my paper the reasons why | deem it necessery that the small stare used for micrometrical comparisons should be se- lected at an early period, and that they should be ob- rorved ones. the selection being by means ef the Berlia ‘Academy star obarts. Though | regarded the reasons obvious, | became aware too late that they should have been distinctly indicated, and not have been passed over in silence. If micrometrical measurementa shall prove of real uti- lity, it is manifestly necessary that the point 2 of the heuvens to which they refer, should be determined as nearly a4 possible, in the same manner and from thi elements aa the point C, ascertained by meridi vations. ‘This can only be effected, if the small stars un- dergo at each period new and accurate determinations oftheir right ascension and deolination, by comparison with neighboring Fundamental stars, and espeoially with the same Fundamental stars to which the simultaneous meridian observations of the planet are referred. (Thus, 1 suppose, all observations in 1847 should be referred to a Virginia and a Leonis, and those of 1849 toa Tauri and a Arietis) But, the small stars being invisible (from day-light) at the period when the observations are made from observations of another epoch; and, therefor eliminate the vitiating effeet of proper-motion, it of anterior years, which is the tained in the * Histotre Celest ene ee Bessel’s Zones,’ ko. GERLING. Lieut. JM. Gituiss, U. 8. N., Washington. Hanvann University, Oct. 22, 1847, Mass or Nertune —The Astronomische Nachrich- ten of Sept. 16, 1847, contulos a communication from Mr. Lassell of Liverpool, concerning his observations upon @ supposed satwilite of Neptune. They seem to be cvaclustye iu favor uf the ealstence of such a satellite, and efforts basis for a rough computation of the mass of the primary. He hus given eleven diagrams of the position of tho suteliite,correspooding to as many diffe- rent dates of observation. four of which are in 1946, and the remaining seven in 1847 A careful examination of these diagramy shows that the satellite must have made eleven or twelve entire revolutions about its primary from its superior conjunction, December 1, 1846, to the wame on July 23d, 1847, and that its period of revolution must, therefore, have been 21.3 days, or 19.5 da; The latter of these periods seems Lo be most consistent with those of 1846; so that the longer period seems to be the most probable one. Mr. Lasselt has also given several estimaced distances of tue satellite from Neptune, which he has never stated to appear to be inore than four diameters of the pla: He did not, however, estimate the distance when thu sa. tellite was at its greatest elongation, but his greatest ob- served distance corresponds .to the time when the sutellite was at rather more than baif its greatest poasi- bie distance from the primary. By compariag the times of observation with the probable times of oopjunction of the satellite with the planet, it 1s easy to ascertain the direction of the one body from the other, und thence the apparent foreshortening of the line which joins them, to an observer of the earth. This mode of computation has given me seven diameters of the planet, as the men- ture of the probable mean distance of u ellite from Neptune; and none of the observations gi mean distance as ten diameters of Neptui also know the apparent diameter of Neptune, which has been measured with great precision by Galle, Euene, Challis, Walker and Mitchell, and found to be about 2% seconds, and certainly less than three seconds of arc. The probable mean distance of the sutellite from Neptune is, therefore, about twenty secouds of arc, and caunot be as great as thirty seconds. * If, however, the mean distance of the satellite is as- assumed to be thirty seconds, and the tims of revolution 19-6 days, the mass of Neptune can be easily computed tw be one half of the mass of Uranus, instead of being twice as large as that of Uranus, which was the mass re- quired by Leverrier’s and Adams’s theories. ‘Ihe ob- servations of Lassell, then, seem to prove that Neptune cannot have more than one-fourth part of the mass of the planet of theory, and that its mass is probably not more than one-fifteenth part of this theoretical planet. ‘This extraordinary deficiency of mass, combined with that of ecoeatricity, (which was first ascertained by Mr Walker, and which’ Leverrier was very unwilling to ad- mit, because he regar fatal blow to his theory, but which Inter observations have established beyond ail disputa)cuts down exceedingly the effeotive action of Neptune upon Uranus. The unexplained irregularities of motion of Uranus amount to one hundred and eighty seconds, which were to be attributed to the action of the gvometrical planet, but of which Neptune, with ite pre- sent orbit and the greatest possible mass consistent with Lussell’s observations, could not account for more than twenty seconds, aud does not probably account for five seoouds: ‘This speculation depends for its support upon Lassell’s estimated distances, but @ rigid scrutiny of these esti- mates shows them to be consistent with vach other, and consequently worthy of confidence. Here, then, is the tinal biow to the most magnificent structure which hu- man genius hasever erected, and the moral of the ancient Babel svems to be reproduced in the defeat of the bold attempt to scale the her to infinity.

This curi- osity was probably produced by the blunder of « s#crib- bier in this city, who writes to New York that a lai budget of despatches had arrived from the camp. But the fact ts, that no despatches have been received from the general, descriptive of the late stirring events; and, indeed, no letter. us we have understood, from General Soott since the 4th of Juoe.
