THE N. C. REGIMENT. We find in the-last "Greensboro' Patriot," Letter from Capt. Hranr, dated, at Saltillo, October 10, from which we take the following passage : " I hare visited the Camp of our Regiment daily for a fortnight, on my regular trips to liuena Vista, to attend a uetferal uourt Alaruai.now in session there, and of which CoL Paine, Lieut. CoL Fags, and myself are members. I perceive an almost daily improvement In the discipline, order and police of ourllegimenL and I-unhesitatingly declare, that, instead of the confusion and disorder so prevalent in other Regiments, I find perfect quietude and con tentment now pervadinethe u Old North 'State" Regiment Hit should be published to the world, that while it is extremely difficult to confine the men of the other Regiments within the chai of sentinels even by day or night and to restrain some ef them from escaping to Saltillo. upon bacchanalian adventures, or even from committing depredations upon the enemy, in the meantime not a single Officer, uon-conrtnissioned. Officer or Private, of oar Regi ment, has beon known to adventure to Saltillo with out the proper passport, although within two miles of the Citv. and not a single instance of the slight est imposition or depredations upon the Mexicans has been committed by any of them. A new supply of clothing, (which they will receive to day J a little more attention to cleanliness of dress and of accou trements, added to the excellent drill and police du ties enforced by CoL Paine and (he two other, excel lent Field Officers,' will make our Regiment equal to any of the eld regular Regiments of infantry of the fine,9 and certainly superior to the 'Volunteer Regiments now here. " But the effect produced by a large and full Re giment under good discipline, will be lost with us, to meagre and so much reduced in rank and file in every Company from death and discharges. The health of the Regiment is better now than it has ever the number of nio.fc not bcintf more than sixiv- five, and scarcely any of them in hospital. Since I last addressed yon, Capt Pender our Quartermas ter has died, and his remains have been sent to Mon terey. . CoL Paine has been extremely unfortunate in regard to his S taft O ur regularly appointed A s sistant Commissary, Exum "Whitaker, and Assistant Quarter Master. Solomon Pender, have both died ; Capt. Buck left him in the midst of his late troubles (not agreeably to his consent,) to become a tempora ry aid-de-camp to Gen. CusMng and I am sorry to add that our highly esteemed Assistant Commissary, W. P. Graves, lately appointed, vice Whitaker, de ceased, is at this time quite ill at Saltillo, from the prevailing disease of the country. V " CoL Paine has labored under these and many other disadvantages, since he has undertaken the functions of his present station, and the remit of all his Labors and persevering efforts has proved him to be no ordinary man. ' If he has been too rigid in his discipline for an Officer of Volunteers, I am sure it was an error of the head, and not of the heart, and I am equally sure that I am right in saying, that both Officers and men will like him, and every other dis ciplinarian in the Regiment, much better at the end of their service for the elevation which this discipline will give them. The resignations of Officers of our Regiment has not yet come to an end. Capt Rob erta of the Wayne Company has resigned, and will shortly set out for home ; he has had bad health ever sinee he has been in the country." DCT'A letter, from a French gentleman,1 many years a resident of Mexicofdated Vera Cruz, Octo ber 30th, says : t: My opinion is. from my own observation in the interior, that the United States can at this time ob tain whatever they may wish, because all although not publicly manifested are in favor of peace. But one who knows the Mexican character, will not be surprised that they vociferate war, notwithstanding ifcey thins, differently." The same letter states that "there are several parties in Mexico composed of the wealthy and in fluential ; the peace party wishes our protection for some time; rhe annexation paiiy desire to mer their nationality in that of the United States ; and anather favors a military occupation of the country until they Ace prepared to take core of their own in terests." i . . .. ..

AFFINITIES. We recommend the following' appropriate and well-timed remarks, from the " Norfolk Herald," to our neighbo? of the u Standardw : V The Abolitionists have proved invariably and in contestibly. that their affinities are with the Locofo cos; and that they have none whatever with the Whigs." The latest instance we have, and which might suffice,, in the absence of any other proof, to sustain this assertion, is in the recent Congressional Elections in Maine The Whigs in that State, are opposed to the War, and to the acquisition of "slave territory" by the War. The Locos of Maine, fol lowing in the footsteps of the Administration, take the opposite ground. The Whigs of Maine, there fore, to the extent that national measures are con cerned, have taken kindred ground with the Aboli litionists ; yet rather than vote for the Whig can didates, by which they would (as is shewn by the returns.) have elected three, and probably four of them, they preferred a coarse (that of running can didates of their own,) which they knew would insure the defeat of the Whigs and the triumph of the Locos. With whom, then, are the sympathies of this mean and despicable party the scorn and the by-word of both political parties at the South ? Certainly not with the Whigs and just as certain ly n-Uh the Locofocos. For, as the old Scotch pro verb has it, " Lite drams to Hit, as a blin' horse till a stone dvke." HOW'TO GET A CABIN PASSAGE. The u Picayune" tells one ef the best stories of the season under the above title. It appears that, a few weeks since, as one of our finest transport Stea mers was about to leave New Orleans for Vera Crux, and all the Colonels and , Captains and Ma jors and Surgeons were patting down their names for berths, a quiet-looking and neatly-dressed young man stepped up to the table on which lay the Regis ter, and entered his name in a bold hand opposite to berth No, 16, as "John Robinson, M. D. The Clerk, who was standing by, observed " Doctor, I can give you a better berth than that" " I hank you," said the Doctor, u I will leave it entirely to your selection." The Doctor took a seat : and pre sently after, an Officer entered, who knew him Now comes the rich part of the story : "Why, sir," said the Captain to the Clerk, "do you allow that man (pointing to Robinson.) to enter the cabin?" " 1 hat man," answered the Clerk. "has as much right, sir, in the cabin as you have." uYou are mistaken," said the Captain; "do you know who he is ?" " Certainly I do know who he is that's one of -your Surgeons." The astonished Officer started in amazement, and exclaimed, " Why, sir, that's one of my teamstersSurgeon, indeed !" It was now the time for the Clerk to show surprise, 1 V- 1 --1 I ll. - a , . suu ue iwieu vue tci-j picture vi asiomsnment. " There must be some mistake about this," he finally remarked ; " but I'll soon see all about it f and step ping into the cabin, took up the Register and point ed to " John Robinson, M. DP By this time, several of the passengers were crowding about the Register, having heard something of the affair. The Captain of the Steamer, too, had also joined the company, when the Clerk turning round to Robinson, said to him M Look here, Doctor or Mr. Robinson, or who ever you are, is this your name?" The individual addressed, coolly got up, and stepping to the table to see rchich name the Clerk meant, said, upon see ing the name on which he held his finger, " Yes, sir, that's my name." "Did you write it?" asked the commander of the vesscL "Yes sir." "Did you write M. D.' after it ?" asked the commander. "I did." "Are you a Doctor of Medicine or a Surgeon?" continued the Captain. "No sir," calm ly replied Robinson. lhen why do you attach these initials to your name ?' " Because they desig nate my profession or rank in the army." "Your profession! your rank! Explain yourself. Are you an officer 7" continued the commander. " No sir, 1 never said 1 was an officer," mildly replied Ro binson. " Well, sir," demanded the Captain, " why do you use the 'M. D.'-after your name; what do they mean 1" "1 have no sort of objection, sir, to inform, you M. D, as I use the letters, stand for Mule Driver! John Robinson, Mule Driver! and I ain't nothing else ."' All hands laughed at the cool wit of the fellow, and the Captain of the Ship said, that the M. D. couldn't go on the deck of his vessel to eat and sleep, " no how it could be nxed."

Scott, with about 12,000 men, left for the Ci ty on the 8th of August, having shortly before been reinforced by detachments under PUIok, Cadnalla der and Pierce, these three Generals having been but slightly impeded in their progress from Vera Cruz to Puebla. Gen. Scott upon leaving here, con stituted CoL Childs Civil and Military Governor, garrisoning this City with four Companies of the 1st Pennsylvania Regiment of Volunteers, .under CoL Black" Co. B, 2d Artillery; under Capt Ken drick, the Indiana Company of the 3d Dragoons, un der Captain Forde, and a few Ordnance and Howit zer men, under Lieut Lindley, in addition to about 300 sick the whole force amounting to about 1,000 men, including Co. D, 3d Artillery under Captain Morehead. Oat of this force, there was only about $00 men fit for duty, the sick, in general, being too debilitated for any kind of duty. This garrison was disposed, in the Forts of Gaudaloupe, commanded by Capt Morehead Loretto, commanded by Major Gwynn and the large and defensible Cuartel of San Jose, at the Southern part of the City, in a Pla za or the same' name, and commanded by Lieut Col. clacks. For Artillery, Loretto hacLtwo 12 pounders, a mountain Howitzer, and a ten inch Mortar; Gau- dalupe, a mountain Howitzer, and the Cuartel San J ose, 5 mountain Howitzers. You will therefore perceive, that our force was small to garrison a City so extensive as this, with a vast and hostile population of 70,000 souls ! al though the artillery we possessed,' and the strong and commanding situations of our forts and posi tions, gave us an opportunity of making a vigorous defence in event of attack. D urine the whole time that Gen. Scott was operating against the City, Puebla continued in its usual quiet state, although detachments of straggling bodies of men, under Gen. Kea, couia ue seen novering arouna tae environs oi ' t J . 1 . c the town, but doing no mischief beyond occasionally firing on our piquets, and capturing a few teamsters, who imprudently went out to repulse them, but were surrounded by superiority of numbers. No sooner, however, did we receive intelligence of Uen. bcotfs success, than it was observed that the citizens as sumed an offensive and insolent demeanor towards our people, and repeatedly insulted them when they attended the markets : large bodies of lancers abso lutely occupied several parts of tho City, and had frequent encounters with several of our sick ; and eventually, things began to assume so serious an as pect, that Gov. Childs withdrew our force into San Jose and the two forty fortified the Plaza San Jose with breastwords and prepared to act entirely on the defensive. The intentions of the enemy shortly could not be mistaken. Large bodies of their in fantry and cavalry took possession of the main part of the City ; and it was at length rumored that uen. Santa Anna himself was advancing with a heavy column, for the purpose of driving us from Puebla. On the 25th October, Santa Anna and Gen. Rea, with 8,000 men, principally cavalry, marched into the City. He disposed his forces in the Plaza, and amongst the streets and blocks leading to San J ose, and all the outlets and inlets of the City ; his caval ry took up their positions on the Amazoque, Chola- la, Tlascala and Matamoras roads, being the four creat causeways through which sutplies for tho Army and City were forced to pass You will per ceive in No. 1 of tho u Flag," Gen. Santa Anna's summons, and CoL Childs' reply both productions are samples of the two very different men. The following day, (Sunday,) Col. Childs opened his batteries upon the town, and such masses of the en emv as showed themselves with shot and shell. On the following morning, the firing became general, the Mexicans pouring heavy volleys of musketry into the Cuartel and Plaza San Jose, from the tops of houses and corners of streets, and wherever they could see any Americana Our men answered with vizor, and frequently deadly precision; and the mountain howitzers and guns from the forts, did good service in dispersing the enemy's cavalry when occupying the streets or approaching the forts. The bodies of lancers who had occupied the roads above-mentioned, now made themselves very active in cutting off any provisions or forage coming in for the use of our troops, and attacking such straggling parties of our people, asimprudently strayed from the line. During the whole 28 days of the siege, the troops were deprived of meat onl subsisted principally on rice, bread, sugar and coffee, of which, owing to the excellent arrangements of the Commis sary department, there was abundance. . Owing to the emallness of our force, and the har rassing and continuous fire of the enemy, the guard duty was very severe amongst our men, added to the incessant vigilance required, which rendered it necessary for our troops, day and night, to be on the " qui vive.' ' 1 heir hardships and deprivations, our gallant fellows, however, bore with unflinching and praiseworthy constancy, and several marked and extraordinary acts of gallantry were performed by both officers and men. On the 5th October. San ta Anna and 3,000 men, with two pieces of artillery, moved on to Huamantala, a town 35 miles from this place. The object of this movement was to get into Gen. Lane's rear, and cut off the train then coming up. The majority of his army he left at this place, for the purpose of carrying on the siege, which was still prosecuted with annymg perseverance, the details and result of the action at iluomantala, you will find at length in the u Flag." One of its most distressinz consequences was the lamented death of the gallant Walker-an irreparable loss to our Ar my. Straggling bodies of the army discomfited at Huamantala, returned to Fuebla on the 10th; and our enraged and mortified enemy made a last and desperate assault on San Jose, and our out-post of the TicoU Gardens, but without success, lhey were signally repulsed, and our positions were still triumphantly maintained. It will be seen in the "Flag," that Lieuts. Wood, Moore and Carroll, of tne 1st Pennsylvania Kegimem, signauy uiswnguisn cd themselves, by the gallant and successful defence of the " Tivoli." On the evening of the 11th, large portions of the Mexicans left the City, leaving be hind a body of lancers. On the 12th, amidst the roar of ordnance, the ringing of the bells at the Church Son Jose, and the enthusiastic cheering of the men, the lone-expected tram, and reinforcements of 3,000 men, under Gen. Lane, came in sight 1 regret to say, that Company U.K" of the 1st Penn sylvania Regiment bavins:, with laudable but im prudent impulse, charged upon a large body of the enemy at the main Plaza, were unfortunately sur rounded by an .overwhelming number of lancers, who charged upon, and did them considerable hurt, wounding and killing no inconsiderable number. The Mexicans, however; were ultimately repulsed ; and the advance guard of the train shortly after wards coming in, the enemy were driven with great loss from the City, and pursued for many miles by the cavalry. Thus triumphantly ended this memo rable and harrassing siege so triumphant in its termination, to our small though invincible band reflecting so bright and glorious rays on our arms. I have hastily thrown together these details, know ing they will be perused with no less pride than plea sure, by your many readers. The Siege of Puehht may be considered one of the most glorious achieve ments of this unhappy war not only when it is ta ken into consideration the fearful odds against which we fought, the heroism and individual daring dis played by bur troops, both rank and file, and the no ble and spirited demeanor or uov. lamias. - -In future letters, I will furnish you with fresh in telligence from the Seat of War : though I do not anticipate I shall have to relate many more inter esting or stirring events than the siege of Puebla.

Mb J CaljtoOn and his Friends. In the Messenger,' published near Mr. Calhoun's res idence in Pendleton district, we observe a-re mark, which, in connection with its locality; may not oe without significance. The Messenger says, the South Carolina members (of Congress) are not regarded, as strict party men. Though they generally act with the democrats, they do not always ; -and this independent position caus ed them and a few others lo be disignated, at the last session, the balance of power jarty.'

If we have an nexed no part of Mexico to the United States yet it seems, by a statement 'in the Matamoras Flag, that we have annexed some of her citizens. An election took place in Texas a few -days since for State Officers ; and the Flag tells us that at the precinct opposite Matamoras, G. T.

Picayune. Custom House Retrenchment. The New York Express says that Mr. Secretary Walker has issued orders, directing a reduction of ten per cent, to be made in the ,wages of those em ployed in the. various Custom Houses throughout the country. We have received a communica tion upon the subject, wnicn states that the re duction is applicable only to the laborers, and those of small salaries. It does not affect the hish salaried men ; as, for instance, Mr. Collector Morton, Mr. Parmenter, Mr. Rant qui, and others. They have their wages fixed by law. The order only affects the wages of laborers. The Secre tary, we understand, expects to save from seven ty-five to one hundred thousand dollars by this one turn of the screw ; and, as it is just so much taken from the pockets of the laboring man, it affords an apt illustration of the intense love these. Democrats have for the poor man. 44 Come here, come here, my dear little chickabiddies, I only want to cut your heads off." Boston Alias, New Paper in Washington.

She has left behind ' a long train of connexions and friends," by whom her death will be deeply felt and greatly lamented.' In every relation of life, she recognized its existence, and was faithful in the discharge. of its various: obligations,, As a wife and mother, she was kind, and affectionate, and cheerful and happy; as a. mistress, indulgent to a fault ; and as a neighbor, hospitable and benevolent ever ready to impart aid to the needy, or relief to! the distressed. And although she was not connected with any Church, she was nevertheless a firm be liever in the great truths of Christianity. Of none, however, did she entertain morecorrect experiment al conceptions,' than the utter depravity' of human nature, and its entire inadequacy to the great work of redemption. She depended, therefore, upon the oaviour, for herwisdom and righteousness, her sanctincation and redemption. She remained per- tectly m ner senses to the very moment ot ner ae- parture, and was calm and resigned in view of its approach. This, together Vith her great patience, throagh long protracted and extreme sufferings, fur nishes the pleasing hope to her friends, that she now ' rests from her labors." I. hey should not then grieve too much that she has met the common fate of all. In the length of her days and their peacetul and happy termination, there is much to administer consolation ; while in her charactervthere is an ex ample of mildness, industry and piety, every way worthy of their imitation and lasting remembrance. .. . r Uommvnicatea.
