Ac length the editor, Senor Torres, thinking the whole affair had blown over, and that time enough had elapsed to allow the wrath of the young gentlemen to cool down, made his appearance on the street, but never was man more mistaken—before he reached the Plaza, he encoun- tered ene of the young gentlemen, who gave him as severe a cowhiding as ever 4 man received. He made rome resistance, but finding it was no use, concluded that it was best to try a run, by which he succeeded in escaping. He then appealed to our military authorities for redreas, : nd made # great ado about the liberty of the presa, and the extent to which it was tolerated in the United States; but! believe the only satisfaction he re- ceived, was tho reply, that editors in the Umted States had the right to publish what they pleased; but if they violated the laws, or insulted the feelings of private in- dividuals, they must take the consequences.

"The following incident occurred on the 13th of Sep- tember, previous to the storming of the castle of Cha- pultepee, and { think it exhibited as much courtesy as any thiog I have ever heard. Msj. Hunter, of 11th {nf., at the head of his regiment, was marching up to take his position in line, preparatory to the storming of the castle, Maj. Sumner, with the 24 Dragoons, came round in a run from the opposite side of the hill, expecting to have to charge a eld battery, or the retreating forces of theenemy. The head of the two regiments met at a point where both were compelled to halt for a moment. Major Hunter rode up to Major Sumner, extending his hand, saluting bim with,“ I{ow do you do, Major Sum- ner?’ who replied, ° f sir, | do not recoliect you." “Do not recollect me?” “No, sir.” replied Major Sum- nor When Major flunter, as it were, straightening himeeif up in his saddle, remarked, “1 wan one of your Sergeants at Carlisle, sir.’’ At this,Major Sumaerrecog- nized his former Sergeant, sud, extending his band, re- marked, “ Well, really, sit, | am exceedingly happy to weet you, and more particularly at tho present time, going into battle with the same rank as myself, and both of us in command of regiments. | wish that good for- (une may attend bg aud that we may mvot hereafcer, when we will be able more fully to renew our former ac- quaintance.’’ At this time it became necessary for both commands to move to their different positions, and the two Majors separated, wishing each other success and good fortune.
