COROES ADVERTISER. , ~ WEDNESDAY, SEPT 29, 1847. M OUR ARMY. The recent victories of ohr army un- der the walls of Mexico, shed a bright, lustre on our whole country. | We rust recollect that in these battles Our sol- diers fought at a vast distange from their homes, in the interior of the enemy's eountry, with communications always in- terrupted, and which for every train had to be re-opened, before we can appreci- ate their exploits. That an army so small in numbers and under such diffi- eult circumstances, should retain that discipline and esprit de corps so necessa- ry in an army, is not the least surpri- sing among the strange incidents of this war. Too high hopes can scarcely be formed of troops animated by such an indomitable spirit. - What a contrast does the conduct of the Mexicans pre- sent! - We should not speak invidiously of a pation at war with us, but the re- flection is forced upon us that the Mexi- can people have lost the chivalric spirit which heretofore has distinguished them. Demoralization, all men knew, had corrupted and made inefficient their army, their generals, their statesmen; but mone were prepared to find the people themselves abandoning their capital, the most gorgeous city on our continent, and ready to deliver it up on the approach of our small force, with so feeble a struggle. There are sad truths to be found &n the history of nations, as well as in individ- uals. Yet few instances can be found where slumbering patriotism has not a- roused itself to defend the cherished as- sociations and the pride which in every country encircle the metropolis, and that this feeling should be so feeble in a re- public of the 19th century is one of the remarkable incidents in history. BEEN TO SEE THE ELEPHANT. Being in the receipt of three daily pa- pers from the city of Troy, and having - noticed daily in two of the number, puffs of the \ grand collection of rare curiosi- ties'' to be found in the Troy Musem», we \laid by\ a quarter of a dollar for the purpose of seeing for ourself. - The door-kecper passed, the first observation we took was at two sheep or perhaps deeg-skins shaved, which were ornament- ed with hieroglyphics, penciled rudely with charcoal. - Further along you come to a 7 by 9 frame containing two or three bills of the old continental money, and ._ then pass into the room over which the © Egyptian mummy presides. - The Mum- my is no doubt a very old one and very much decayed, as all mummies when ve- ry old, must be. _ The Mummy is tied up in a coffee sack, and all that can be seen of it is one of its legs. In this room are seen squirrels, monkeys, hens, ducks ard a variety of poultry, not re- markable of course for beauty, but val- uable on account of being antiquated . gpecimens, and being collected there in one room. We of course could not, in our five minutes' visit, see all the curios- ities, nor do we think one could be hired for a moderate compensation to inspect very closely. - The \ Burmese Figures,\ , eracked up so by the Troy -Post as be- ing \ novel curiosities,\ are so indeed, if figures whittled out of wood, with an arm or nose cut off by an occasional slip of the jack-knife, may be termed curiosi- ties,. Their \ Beggar\ (we forget his name) is an interesting young man, and the artist is no more to be commended than the exhibitor, who has very inge- niously made good the slips of the knife by tying on hands, by bits of strings.- Then comethe war-clubs, and Indian cu- riosities,. old moccasins, etc. ; also a piece of the castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa, -the latter by far the most interesting curios- ities in the Museum. - Take it all in all, we do consider it little the smallest af- fiir out; were the price of admission 6 1-4 cents it might be termed TOL EBRABLE. And this is the \ Museum,\ of which our Troy papers boast and to which ma- ny of the wonder-seeking people of our village have been duped, -a Museum to the proprietor of which, we understand some of the citizens of Troy have pledg- ed the sum of $10,000 for two years} - Oh erackey. Rarurr Boun.-The Post Office in this village was entered on Wednesday night last, and robbed of most of the let- ters contained therein. - The rogue or rogues have not been detected.

Gor a ScoupIna.-We were waited upon by a depuitation of girls and were berated \a few,\ for favoring, as they alleged, the Aéents of ghe Mills, in pub- lishing the article sxéfid \ A Peaceful Citizen.\ +\ Oh !\ said one of them, \if we had the creature by the marr, we'd \ We put our hat on our head and reasoned the case. We stand on neutral grounds in the matter and well- written articles, if not personal, will not be rejected, though at the same time we question the propriety of agitating the subject through tho papers. ' The following paragraph from the Al- exandria Clazette expresses, we believe, a very general opinion. It is a piéy that a most gallant and able officer, as Lt. Col. Fremont undoubtedly is, should al- low himself to be betrayed, by anybody's influence or advice from what his own letter of Colonel Fremont must strike every reader as excessively Beu- tonian in its style and manner. It isall news to us that the newspapers, or any of them, ever made such grave charges a- gainst Col. F., as are mentioned in this letter. We believe the most the public ever knew of the matter was, that some* difficulty about rank occurred between (Gen. Kearney and Col. Fremont-a sub- ject about which they cared very little.\ The N. Orleans Bulletin says that the letter of \ Leonidas,\ published in the N. O0. Delta, claiming all the glory of the late victories for Gen. Pillow, contained, as originally prepared and sent to that paper, the following incident : 'We have heard it stated that one of the omitted incidents, was the detail of a personal rencontre between General Pillow and a Mexican officer. - The wri- distance ahead of his charging column, when he at once recognized as having seen at Cerro Gordo-that he (Gen. P.) immediately drew his revolver, loaded with the identical ball that had wounded him at Cerro Gordo, and blew out the brains of, the Mexicans! - Now if this is in the letter, and we have good authority for believing it is, there is a romance a- bout it, as well as a highly interesting fact, of which the present as well as fu- ture generations, should not be kept in ignorance.\ . Txs Barter or Mzsx1co-GENERAL Scorr axnp uis Arxv.-In the Union of Monday evening, we have two long and interesting letters from officers in the ar- my, in the course of which, the following paragraphs appear : \The greeting of Gen. Scott by the troops after the action on seeing the suc- cess of all his plans, was loud and vocife- rous. It must have shaken the Halls of the Montezumas.' - Their enthusiasm seemed to cheer the Mexican officers in their captivity. - The army has complete confidence in him, and apprehend noth- ing where he commands. - He sees to ev- rything, and calculates the cost of every measure; and they know and feel that their lives and labour will not be use- lessly expended. During the day, we took 2,700 prisoners, 8 generals, 37 pie- ces of artillery, and ammunition enough for a 'whole campaign. Their defences were completely turned, and their plans upset.\ \ After each battle, when the troops saw the complete success of Gen. Seott's plans he was received with the most vo- ciferous cheers throughout the whole ar- my. The shouts must have reached Mexico. Even the captive Mexican of- ficers seemed cheered in their distress, to witness their enthusiasm. The army have the greatest confidence in him, and justly. They know his cares for them. They know his worth. He weighs his plans well, calculates the cost of every measure, attempts nothing without a reasonable prospect of success.\ Burcrartes. -The offices of A.

The Moniteur [des Arts says, in reporting it :-'This new metal, which ere long, will be of more value than gold, and which the inventor has called Silicon, is of a white color, ve- ry sonorous, and as brilliant and transpa- rent as crystal. -It can be obtained, with equal ease, opaque or colored; com- bines with various substances, and some of these combinations produce shades of extraordinary beauty. Itis without smell -very ductile, very maleable, and neith- er air nor acids effect it. It can be blown like glass, melted or stretched out into long threads of perfect reglarity. It is hard, very tough, and possesses the qual- ities of molten steel in the very highest degree, without requiring to be tempered by the existing process, which as it is well known offers no certainty -while the result of the new method is sure.\ A varisty of objects have been manu- factured with this silicon, which are about to be submitted to public exhibition on the place of the Hotel de Ville, at Saint Etienne. «\ Positively my last appearance in public, \as the convict said on the gallows. | the city Wfith BURCLARY-BURGLAR CAUGHT.

Argus. . _FreEnxncx ann EnguisH Lap:cs.-The Cou. Fier des Etats Unss in copying a paragraph which has been going the rounds, that French- men prefer English ladies for wives, and that hardly a lady of any passable qualities remains a long time unmarried at Paris, anless with her marry French ladies, up the case as fol- lows: ** If Frenchmen prefer to marry English women, it is because they have taste for joining the useful to the agreeable, utile dulei. The English ladies at Paris, have, generally. a pretty handsome dowery in store ; the Frenchmen know it and profit therehy. The contrary #s general- ly the case with the English gents who cannot even with their guineas, move the hearts of the French fair, who, despite all the calumnies ut- tered against them abroad, prefer the man of their choice, to the foreigner with his weight in guineas and ridiculous traits, This is the cause of the difference alluded to. Cll 222 Enrrors.-Shrinking and Swell- ing of Meat in the Pot. -When children, we used to be told that pork, beef, &c., killed in the old of the moon, would shrink in the pot; and it the new it would swell ; and a great ma- ny good honest farmers religiously obseravd her waxing and waning quarters for their periodi- cal packing. That some meat shrinks, while other swells, is a fact too notorious for cavil; but that the moon is to be praised or blamed for this agency, we most fully deny,. The true cause for these changes is to be found in the manner of feeding the animals before slaughter- ing. An animal that has been long well ted, till the fat cells have become fully charged with solid matter, will, on exposure to boiling water, a portion of it, and consequently aswell ihe dimensions of the flesh ; but that which has been hastily or but partially fattened, will diminish in cooking from the abstraction of the juices which occupied the cavities or spaces be- tween the lean fibres. This is the whole secret of the shrinking and swelling of meats. It will thus be perceived that one carcass, of equal weight may differ materially in value from ano» ther of nearly the same apparent quality.. This difference in value is equally manifest jn the quality of fish or poultry: Eggs from well-fed hens are also much more rich and substantial than those which are produced by hens sparsely fed. - The latter wil} invariably be found mea- gre and watery.
