It developes the most t puerile, foolish and boyish spirit?one which we t never would have supposed had existence in the < breasts of the officers who wrote those letters, previous to the lamentable fact being known. The campaign from the city of Vera Cruz to < the capital ot Mexico, is decidedly the most bril* i ii int in the annals of modern warfare, not only tor the almost unexampled diapluy of military i science and skill which marked its conduct, but in the bravery, gallantry, and heroic valor which were displayed by officers and men, in carrying out the plan of the campaign, and all the arrangements, from the greatest to the most minute. It astonished the world, and proved to the satisfaction of our worst traducers, nnd the contt mncrs of our political system and institutions, that th* great western republic, as a military power, has power and resources, in a military point of view, sufficient to carry on successfully a loreign war?a war of invasion in a distant enemy's country?as it possesses to resist aggression and defend the security and integrity of its own territory. This fact was long disputed and doubted by the statesmen of the old world; but their doubts were one by one dispelled, as town wfter town and castle after caetle eurren- i .ered to our invincible army. We would be glad if we could stop here?il nothing had trans- i pired to mar the beauty of this gorgeous picture, i We would be glad if the end of the volume < had been reached with the successful i ? mi/ vii uur viou|'B imu uir gicai auu I far-famed capital ot Mexico; but truth, and our duty an a journalist to record the events o* the day, without fear or favor, compel as to turn over another leaf, and record events which tend as much to the shame of the Mexican war kb the before-mentioned acts of gallantry, skill and indomitable bravery, tended to its glory. No sooner was the army of the enemy scattered to the four winds, and their great general had fltd before our victorious troops, having scarce -a place whereto to lly for his personal safety, than our generals ar>a officers commenced among themselves a scramble for the monopoly of all the glory which belonged in common to all, both officers and men, and of which there was abundance for each and all. From that time to the present, bickerings, courts-martial, courts of inquiry, crimination and recrimination, have been the order of the day, and no one can predict when the disgraceful business will end. Letters which should never have been made public, are brought to light, and mutters which alone interested the parties immediately concerned, have been published to the world, and commented upon in all the barbers' shops and grogaeries of the land, the frequenters of which make their own comments, in their own way, on what they read, ia favor of, and against the officers, who, from their services in the field, had identified themselves with the glory of their country, and excited the admiration of both hemispheres. If the parties them*rlv s are to blame in this matter, their partizans in Congress are equally culpable. They have taken up the quarrels amongthe officers in : U mu i?ir* 1UV llll as III 14 L. II CttllKDlUCBB auu UiPJ'io; , BD much bicksring and.ill-feeling in their speeches aid controversies, as the pirties among whom the quarrels originated; and it is to them that the country ie indebted for the publication of the correspondence which has thrown this shame on th? M'xican war. But there ard of tl>at prudence, self ; rot, Hnd Mga<'ity which ouiiht to hive dintmguisbed th'in all. We allude to General Taylor and General Wool, who fought aide by side in ibe glorious battle of Buena Viala, and at* n-1 ude liy aide to this day'in the ranks of Iri' ndship and good will. Their conduct stands out in bold rrliel to that of Genera Hcott aad th<* "ff ?r- a** icinled with him, and entitled them to more merit t?t an has yet been awarded them When the former conceived himself to be ie.irrd by the administration, he wrote a I gB.hed rebuke, and ihrn threw himaelf and | , , * his caure on Ins country. He did not sloop to carry on a fretful and angry correspondence with the War Department, but acted asbecame his dmtiity and character. He may have written too muny political Utters, us we think he did. j [l he had r< f'ised to answer all th" electioneer- | iag r.nd office-seeking communications w:iicl? j were addressed to him, he would have acted j wiser than ;n noticing them. But, as a military j man, he has not fallen into the errors which the other otficere have committed. Taylor Mkrtings in New Yokk.?Within a fe v days we have had two Taylor meetings in this city?one at Military Hall, in the Bowery, 1 and the other at Lafayette Hall, in Broadway.? i Neither of them was crowded. At th? first there i were not more than a hundred and fifty persons j p-esent, undat the other not over three hundred j At the one in the Bowery, Casaius M. Clay de- ; livered a long, prosy fpeech in favor of General j Taylor ns a candidate lor the Presidency, in which he developed nothing new, nor broached a jingle original idea. At the other, Mr. Toombs, \ Irom Georgia, Bioke. and made a pn?>i?nh in i which almost every subject but the fitness of General Taylor to fill the presidential chair, was he tli^rne. Mr. Prescott Hall also spoke at the ume meeting, but we did not report him, be:ause he has already said as much as he can ay on the subject, ana each successive speech which he has made Bince he delivered he one reported in this paper in full, has been mt a repetition?a perfect stereotype of the ,deas he uttered on that occasion. At each ol hose meetings there was a proportion of the iriends of Mr. Clay, who seemed determined lhat the Taylor men should not have it all their awn way ; for they cheered their candidate lustily, in spite of the eloquence of a Cassius or i Too tubs. We would enquire, what are the objects of the lien who are at the bottom of these movements 1 ieueral Taylor hfes placed himself in the hands >f his countrymen, to elect him or not, as they lec fit. He has expressly disavowed all connecion wi h party, and will not run as the exclu live candidate of the one or the other. The :ountry knows the position in which he has jlaced himself in regard to the Presidency; and vhat more is required 1 We are very much inclined to believe that hose meetings are attempts bv cliques of despeate oflice-seekiug politicians, out at elbow and >ocket, to secure eome of the spoils in case of >eneral Taylor's election ; and it would be well nr nulilto to Unnw it Tf ItOiimoI Taulnr :annot be elevated to the chief magistracy by iia own merits, he Burely will never reach that loeition by the efforts of the Taylor cliques in his city?whether they emanate from Wall street, or Military Hall in the Bowery. We ipprrhend that we understand the movement. The Discharged Convict Gould.?We revived yesterday, from the agent of the Committee on Discharged Convicts of the Prison j Association, the following reply to the appeal j made by Robert Gouid, the discharged convict, I who was relueed assistance by that philanthropic association : 4 mo. 28th. 1948. In reply to Robert Oould, in the Herald of tbia moruiog, we would ju?t aay, that we find it neoesaao to nae m loh caution when discharged convict* apply for relief, uiherwiee we should often be greatly imposed upon Unu'.d wai thoee only whom we believe are earnest ia ineir determination to reform 19 A AC T. HOPPER, i Agent of the Committee on Discharged Conviots, Prison Association. This seems to be reasonable enough, with one fxception. How does Mr. Isaac T. Hopper know that the poor convict was under the influence of liquor! We have seen many persons laboring under the influence of misfortune?the visible ( fffcts of which many would impute to liquor ind strong drink. We rather think, then, on this point that Hr. Hopper's reasons ar? insufficient. However, as Gould's application to the benevo'e.it prison association has been refused, we by all means recommend him to apply to the generous feelings of Alderman McElrath. He is Alderman of the Third ward, and has been, during hit term of office, according to the appearance of the advertising columns of the Tribune, receiving immense Bums from the strong chest of the Corporation, not in strict accordance with law It is probable that Gould, as he has been incarcerated in Sing Sing, served out a term there foi stealing, or taking the property of others contrary to law, in another sense of the term. It would seem but fair, therefore, that Alderman McElrath should divide the gains which he made out of the corporation?with the unfortunate discharged convict from Sing Sing. To get public moneys contrary to law, or appropriate private moneys belonging to another, do not seem very hostile to each other in principle. There ought to be some fraternization between such principles and parties We advise Mr. Gould, therefore, to apply to Aldermnn McElrath, and there is no doubt he will receive prompt assistance in these days of liberty, equality and fraternity.

Chatham Thkatui.?It baa formerly be< a the policy of the rultrs of the people on the continent of Europe to (rant largs sums annually ior the support of the theatres, and thus, by kecplDg these establishments open at low prices, they provided abundant amusement tor the many, and hoped to keep them from paying too much attention to the acts of tbeir rulers. Thia system was all very well for a limq, but seems to have broken down lately, aa the folks in Europe are all performing real melodramas, in wnieh the hurried exits of kings and potentates are the chief iuoidsnt-s But what we want to come at Is this, that here, in our happy and free country, the sovereigns also make large contributions to the support ot theatres?the sovereign people we mean ?and when anything is produced that especially tiokles their fancies, no reward is too great for the skilful manage'. At the Chatham, for instanoe. they must be making a young fortune out of " New York as it is," as every available (eat in the house is flllod every evening before eight o'eloak; and as tne manager of the house is determined not to overcrowd his patrons, great numbers are every evnlog rofnsed admittance after the house is filled oomfortab^ The best plan, therefore, is to engage seats during the day, or go quite early in the evening. The romantic little drama ot the "Blind By," was performed as the first piece last evening, pretty little Miss 8 Deuln taking the part of Edmund, the blind boy. This young lady is a most versatile and talented aotress, and will become very eminent we venture to predict. Tho remainder of the entertainmnnts xvent off with the usual eclat ; they consisted of'' Our National Defences " "New York as ft is " and the very laughable faroe of the " House Dog." The same bill is to be repeated this evenirg Broabway Thkatkk.?We have been so long nauseated snl wearitd with spe tao'.e', pintomlmes, equestrian feats, jugglery, gun and pistol firing, fighting, blustering, and all sorts of Bartholomew Fair eihlbltioLS, addressed to the eyes of the ignorant and volgar, acting upon the outk&rd senses, and depraving, degrading, and ruining the public taste, that we hailed with inexpressible delight and satisfaction, the high intellectual treat we reoeived last night of the solid, Round, and genuine dramatic production of a comedy, representative of real Ufa, and as full of entertainment and pleaslog and Tailed picture* of human beings and notions, as it was full of truth, usefulness, and instruation. We were all along O'lnTii&ed that the fault of a degraded stage, converted 11 the use of horses, puppet shows, and gunpowder, only tit and only intended to please and astonish big children, was not the fault of the penple, but of managers and aotors. The former found they oould draw together a ciowd by getting up a showy, trashy exhibition, without resorting to talented actors, and the Utter found it was easier to play tho buffjon and merry-undrew, *nd create a laugh by clap-trap tricks, than to perform a rational part, calling for thought, study, and intellectual action Henc.* the stage b?oame the At' grided arena of a mere amphitheatre, and the genutue, pleasing intellectual drama seemed in danger of being forgotten and banished forever. We hail with grateful joy the excellent good taste and judgment of the managers of the Broadway theatre iu produoiag the beautiful oomedy of " Romance and Reality," which was performed last night for the eleventh time in succession, to a house crowded In evsry part, from parquette to gallery We believe it might have been continued with perfect success to a 20ih or 30:h representation, had not previous arrangements called for its temporary withdrawal The good sense and correct taste of the public are fully vindicated and assorted by the crowd? 1 bouses which have nightly assembled to witness the new piece, it is a proof that th* people c*n appreciate an i erjoy sound intellectual and rational entertainment, whenever managers, as in the oase of Col Mann and his associates, have the good taste, judgment and enterprise to present it before them We hope to see a career so successfully begun by the Broadway, tendlngso highly to improve the public taste ani elevate and invigorate the publio mind, persevered in and Imitated by all our publio theatres. Mr Brougham may ba justly proud of the authorship of such a oomedy as " Romance and Reality," and we are glad, for bis sake, that it is cast so well, and the several parts so ably performed as to render all the justice it merited to such an able and beautiful drama Ne piece could te better cast.

This telegraph is oonstruoted >n at?w principle, whloh dispenses with the magnetic lotion, to produce meohanicai movements for makiog tnd recording signs, and employs long strips of paper, so perforated in groups, that each group represents some (Down Utter or sign The non-conducting substance )f the paper passing bstween^the electritjd parts of tho aaohine Intercepts the electric oirouit, except at e?ch pignoration where the electrised p irts of the maobine some iu contact through eich sucessive perforation; this admits the eleotric current to sot with its natural velocity to oomplete the circuit, and transmit the liga to a dlstaut station where -ucti sigu is recorded by :he clectrie pulsation pasting into und through a jhemicalty prepared paper, made te revolve on a oy Under hat travels at a like speed per minute as the perforated "prut the transmitting station. In this manner no time it by any mechaniotl movements or m*goetio ao- Ion, jr uy any manipulation off the operator at the machine, in J by multiplying the parts through which the perforutsd paper passes, giving each part a separate battery and a wite to eaah line of telegraph, the same communication is fully and simultaneously trausmi ted to and recorded it any reasonable multiplicity of distant stations, or If a naohine consisting of twenty suoh puts is required to end to one. two or three distant stations only, ?ll those l?arts not wanted are put oat of action by simply turnicg back the parts that complete the eleotric oirouit In 'his manner Mr Bain has already transmitted signs repi enting one thousand letter * (nut words as been erroiicnUMiv miD[)ant>ill dap inlnntA : and kt iha avuraffA nf IX letter* lo a word, this will tc about 285 words per minute; but It Ijbrlievtd by Mr. Sain that he w:ll teshortly nbl* to transmit 3600 sign* equal to lnUO werds a minute, though he does not wish to assert that be has traDsmlted *o large a number. No part ot the machinery it liable to derangement, except the conducting wlre?; this is 03mm3D to every other arrangement at prrsent In use. though the time may not b? tar distant when thin last inoonvenience may be avoided By this mode of operation,the publlo news of Europe, or of the United S ates, may be composed in either country,or on the pa>stge between, so that oa the arrival of the steamship, the composed news may be at onca pUoed in the eleotno telegraph, and In a few minutrs be transmitted to every important p!aco In the country, for the piass to be onpying it tor the public information, in places hundreds or even thousands of mllvs apart, within one hour of the same iln.6 at which it arrives; or a merotiaut having oor es!>onden?o at a distant city, oau u-e his own mode, as agreed between himself and his correspondent, of sig 1tying letters by perforations, and in tiansmitting a notice by this means, be secure against any one else knowing the business It oon?erus, because the paper aontaining the reoeived and reoorded notice gclug to the corespondent would only te understood by him and the patty who sent It. From the rapid action ot this mode, Moe wire will transmit more than fifteen wires aan do now, as so many communiaatioas oan hs successively sent In the same time now oeoupied for one. This mode is in use between London and Birmingham, a diatanee of II'2 miles, and between Manchester and Liverpool, a distance of S3 miles. It has been proved from London to Liverpool, a distance of i'ii miles, under an unfavorable state of the tnnnels through whioh the 0"nneetion of the wires passed, but the result was the same, and when Mr. Bain left England, the London and Liverpool line was In course ef completion throughout. The exhibition will be continued to-day.and the Improvements ia many respects observable In the construction af the msohWry of this new telegraph, will, doubtless, seonre for it the attention anl patronage of men of scienoe In America. It will, we understand, soon ka fully tested, with a view to prove its superiority over the present mode of telegraphic communication. House's TcLKnRAFH ?
