Mr Ira Stanbrough, of the State of New York, has put in operation for the Batersea Manufac turing Company in this place, one of Howd's Patent Water Wheels, 7 feet diameter, with IS ! inch buckets under the following circumstances: The mills contain 2,700 Throstle and Dan forth Spindles, 90 Looms and all necessary prepara tions, which h ive driven-by two Breast Wheels, e.ich VI feet long by 13 diameter, under, a he. d and i.ll of about 11 feet, but the location being abject to back w.iter, iqese wheels did not work to advantage. Mr -Stanbrough having great con tidence in his Wheel, not only that it would ob vi.ite the difficulty with back water, but he was willing to guarantee that it w-uld drive all the machinery and save one-third the water then used ; and having executed to the company a bond in S-J,000 for that purpose, it was determ ined to let him make the tri. l, which I am happy to say has resulted very sat isf ictorily, and that he has fairly and fully fulfilled his contract, and I would recommend his wheel to public notice.

This certifies that the Howd Wheel I put in my mill eighteen months since, that ground, up on trial, 20 bushels of corn per hour, has worked so well and convinced me so fully that it is the best wheel driven by the force of water, that I have determined to put up another the present season.

GUERRILLA WAR IN MEXICO The Mexican correspondence of the Missouri Republican, though its news is not always quite as late as what we receive through other channels, is usually very instructive in particulars which we do not receive so intelligibly and accurately in any other way. Such is the character of the following extracts from that correspon dence, giving us a clearer and more dis tinct idea of the harassing nature of the war upon detachments and transportation trains of our army in Mexico than any thing that we have read : Nat. Inf. Correspondence of the Missouri Republican. Jalapa, (Mexico,) June 17, 1846. This is the last letter I shall write you from this place, and I pen this without knowing how or when I shall be able to give it a direction that will ensure its ever reaching even the Gulf coast. On the morning of the 15th inst. a train of about three hundred wagons, principally loaded with ammunition, succeeded in reaching this place. They were fourteen days coming from Vera Cruz, and skirmishing from that place to the hacienda Encei ro kept up during the whole way. The prin cipal object of attack was the large amount of specie in the train between three and four hundred thousand dollars which had drawn together between fifteen hundred and two thousand guerrillas. They were principally commanded by three Priests, (Spanish Carlists,) who had been banished from their own country for their ferocity, their fanaticism and bigotry. They gave ii a a oreat deal of trouble, and succeeded, .innnir thf entire route, in killing: and wounSingl between forty and fifty of our men. We lost about thirty public wagons, la number of horses and mules, and a great deal of subsistence that was thrown from the wagons with a view f lightening the loads. Our loss in property, trifling as it 13 and especially when compared to the lossol men is of course, greatly magni fied by the enemy, and the report is indus triously circulated by them, throughout the entire country, that they have captured half of the train and killed half of the es cort. The train left Vera Cruz with an escort of about five hundred men, under Col. Mc intosh. An express was sent to v era Cruz, informing Col. Wilson, in command of that post, of the number of guerrillas that were annoying the escort, and of the dan gers that surrounded the train. General . ... .... Cadwallader, with what men he had there. immediately left to reinforce them, and reached them a short distance the other side of the National Bridge. So soon as he took command, something like order and system was restored, where before nothing but contusion and alarm prevailed; and a!- tnougn constantly attacked oy me guerril las from their ambush, he had but little trou ble comparatively speaking, or met with lit tle loss atter leaving the iNationai nnuge. At the National Bridge the enemv made a regular stand, availing himself of the fort and breastworks upon the heights and sides of the hills that had been thrown up with the view of intercepting Gen. Scott in his march upon Jalapa. Here the heav iest or our loss in men occurred, and here the most obstinate attack was made upon the train by the guerrillas. To the pru dence and military skill and experience of Gen Cadwalader is solely to be attribu ted the route of the enemy, and the preser vation of the train, specie, mail, &c. On the 8th instant a party of citizens, with a number of discharged officers and the wounded men of the 4th Illinois regi ment, left here taking along some five or six wagons, in one of which was contained a large and important mail. So soon as the news reached us of the number of guerrillas, and the obstinacy of their attack upon the upward train, the greatest solici tude was felt for the company of between one and two hundred men who had left here for Vera Cruz. They were at best but noorlv armed, and were without any orrnni-7..'tion whatever. In the event of an attack, all here concluded that the brave II linoians, and-their attendants, would be abandoned, and that the whole would have their throats cut by the merci less and blood thirsty guerrillas. At the National Bridge they were attacked, and lost five of their number, the greater por tion preferring trusting to the speed of their horses rather than the prowess of their arms. Most fortunate was it for them that Gen Cadwalader happened in their vi cinity at the time with his command ; but for that not one would have been left to tell the fate of the rest. The General most kindly detached a company of caval ry, under Captain Depera, to protect them from further attack, and the whole succeed ed in reaching Vera Cruz in safety. The above incidents will give you some little idea of the state of the road between this r.nd Vera Cruz, and of the immense hazard a man runs, even in a large body, of losing his life in attempting fo reach the sea coast. Gen. Scott is in a far more precarious situation than ever Gen Taylor was in at Uuena Vista, and it he succeeds in cutting his way through with the small number of men he has to the city of Mexi co, and holding his position, the battles of Buena Vista and Cerro Gordo will sink into utter insignificance compared with such an achievement. An express reached Colonel Childs from the General-in-chief, night before last, plac ing him on his guard against a contempla ted attack on the part of the enemy upon the train between this and Perote and Puebla. Gen Bravo had been thrown upon the road, bv Santa Anna, with a force ot three thousand men, a portion of whom are cavalry, sent from the city of Mexico. General Scott also wrote that he was now satisfied we should have one of the severest and most obstinate battles this side of the capital of the Republic, that had yet been fought in Mexico, and he was waiting the anxious solicitude to hear of the arrival of more troops at Vera Cruz, and of their being on their inarch to reinforce him. To day this post is to be evacuated, and our troops take up their line of march for the advance of the army. Col. Childs, with the garrison, leaves this morning at ten o'clock, and in the afternoon, or very early to morrow morning, Gen. Cadwala der leaves with his command. The aggre gate of the strength of the twb commands will not exceed twenty two hundred men, and the number of pieces of artillery we shall take along is six. With this strength and material we expect to fight ourselves through, let the number of guerillas be what they may. The strongest point of attack is a pass in the Perote mountains, about a day's march from here, which is said, by those acquainted with the topography of the country, to be equally as formidable a position for the enemy as was that of Cerro Gordo. The present object of the guerrillas is more to secure the large amount of money and the ammunition we have along than to capture or destroy the force that is protecting it. The " hope of reward 9 has- induced a large number to join the guerrillas, who but for the money never would, have risked their necks, even in a skirmish. When I reach Perote I will again write you, though it will be without any assurance that the letter will get off for weeks to come. It is bad enough to be hemmed in an enemy's country as scarcely to be able to leave the garrison of a post with safety; but to have your line of communication entirely out off, and the means ot communicating with your friends and your country, even by letter, success fully checked, is insupportable. Perote, (Mexico, June 22, 1847". Yesterdav, about noon, the entire force that was at Jalapa succeeded in reach ing here in safety, and without any loss whatever to the train. The march was conducted under the immediate command of Brigadier General Cadwallader, who although slow in his movements, is general ly sure and safe. We were parts of four days in making a distance of thirty five miles, owing to the unwieldiness of the train and the annoyance the guerrillas gave us. They had posted themselves along the heights of the La Hoya for ner ly two miles, and were about a thousaud strong. The pass of the La Hoya is much longer than that of the Cerro Gordo, though not so formidable in ray judgment ; and, in the hands of any thing like a war like people, it would have beeu very difficult to have got the train through without im mense loss. On the 20th we encountered the guerri llas, and after some six hour' skirmish ing, in which we took eighteen prisoners, and killed between seventy and eighty of them, they were completely and effectually routed. We threw out, in the first in stance, large flanking parties, and they scaled every height both with our infan try and cavalry. Two caves were discover ed by the first artillery, in which were stowed large quantities of provisions, some ammunition, and a few fire arms. Among the former were American hams, sugar, and hard bread After occupying the heights with our forces, so as to effect ually command the pass its entire dis tance, the train was passed through and halted at the village of Las Vigas a short distance this side of the La Hoya. Tne evening previous to our attempting to force our way through the pass in the moun tains, Col. Wynkoop, who is in command at this place and the castle of Perote, hearing of. the number ot the enemy that had nosteil themselves at La Hova with a view of cutting off the train, left a eight o'clock in the evening with the greater part ot the 1st Pennsylvania regiment and Capt Walker's company of mounted rifle men. They were engaged with the guerillas, on this side of the pass, from eleven o'clock that ni":ht up to the time we ot through the next morning, and did most excellent service. lhey drove the enemy for several miles back from tne road, "and burnt every rancho in their route, leaving desolate the wkole country over which they passed. Oa our reaching Las Vigas, a pretty and flourishinglittle town, it was found that the dwellings were en tirely deserted by the Mexicans, and it was sat isi acton iy asceriameu inai mey uau e . 1 -.1 .1 "11 lUeiuined themselves wun tne guerillas. With the consent of the Commanding Gen! the torch was applied io buildings, and in a few moments the entire town was one universal scene of conflagration. Every building in it, numbering between eighty and one hundred, was destroyed by tire the only one that was spared being the neat little Catholic church that adorn ed the town. Its solitary appearance among the smouldering ruins of the town created sensations better imagined than described ; and the example set in this instance, it is greatly to be hoped, will have the effect of restraining the ene my in future in their murderous course of warfare. Our loss was, comparatively speaking, nothing. On reaching here Gen. Cadwalader was met by an express from Gen. Scott, desir ing him not to advance with the train, except in conjunction with Col. Child's command, and the force that was to go forward from thi3 post, as a. large body of cavalry, between two and three thousand strong,- with a small field battery, under the command of Generals Bravo and Al varez, had posted themselves between this and Puebla, more with a view of secur ing a part of the train than "many expecta tion of doing much injury to our force. We shall, therefore, have another brush with these gentlemen robbers before we reach the advance of the army ; but as the country is generally a plain, we can have a fair chance at them, and-cut them up more effectually than was done at La Hoya. From here - we take six com panies of the 1st Pennsylvania regiment, under Col. Black, in addition to our force that we left Jalapa with, and the train will be materially lessened, in consequence of the number of wagons we leave here, that brought forward the sick and some subsistence designed for this post. The sick, alone, required nearly forty wagons, all of which are to remain here. Colonel Wynkoop, with four companies of the 1st Pennsylvania regiment, Capt. Taylor battery, and Capt. Walker's com pany of mounted riflemen, remain to garri son the castle of Perote and this town ; which, considering that it is the principal hospital & the depot of subsistence between the advance of the army and Vera Cruz, is certainly a very small force. But there is no other alternative, if Gen. Scott is ever to get to Mexico, so slow are the rein forcements in reaching him. In addition to the force now going forward under Gen. I Cadwalader, it is expected that about two thousand more are now on their march from Vera Cruz to Puebla. If they arrive with in four or five days after we do they will be in time for the big battle that is too fought this side of the city of Mexico. Among the eighteen " prisoners taken by us on the 20th instant at La Hoya, were two Germans, deserters from our army. There are four others among thg guerrillas that I regret we could not hava secured. The doom of the two captur4 will be that of a traitor' death. I was in hopes we should have left here to day, but in cohseqtfehee ofth insufficiency ot the quartermaster's depart ment, we shall not setoff before to morrow, if we do then. We ought to get through to Puebla in five days, and Bog all the Mexi can forces besides, that are between this and the advance of the army, yet if we do not move with more rapidity than we did from Jalapa here, it will take us from iht ill take to ten days The castle of Perote, next to that of Sao Juan de Uloa, is the strongest fortification -in Mexico. It is, however, in a most filthy condition, and the sick are dying out of the hospitals ia large numbers daily. Disease is making far greater havoc among our forces than is the enemy. Perote it a most miserable little place, even for Mexico, though the country that surrounds it so picturesque and grand in the extreme The vslley of Perote is a very fertile soil and the fields of corn, barley, and wheat are immensely extensive Upon the whole it is more generally cultivated than an other section of Mexico for the same extent over which I have passed From the Camden Journal.
