1t is settled that Col. WM. S. IIARNEY is the
Hero Of Ccrro Gordo; and performed tho most
brilliant act of inlrepidsty, during the war: the
siorming of Cerro Gordo, is almost unparalleled
as a military achievement. a correspondent to
the n. O. Pcnyunc, writing from Janpn, says:


az possible, | intend obtaining full list of u II
tn" officers under Coz llurnoy who cook part in
the noted and successful stormiug of Cerro Gordo.
The name Of the hill should also be placed on
the colors of each regiment engaged. Words
cannot describe the strength Of the place, nor the
immense difficulty, TO say nothing OF the danger
attended upon s,orming it. 1t is said that Santa
Anna remarked, the evening before it was cap
tured, "If tie Yankees can storm this place thcv
can storm hell iiScit!' The 81 and 7th Infantry.
under Capt. Alexander and Lieut., Cot. PIymp-
tom, went side and side; the lst Artillery, under
Col. ChiIds, although stationed short distance
in the reserve, could no, be restrained
and held back, while many of tho Rifles even left
the position assigned them, and were "in at the
DEATH" il can be allowed such expression.
Not man who looks at the natural and artificial
obstacles these men had TO encounter, but mast
think they would deter and dismay the sloutcsl
hearts; yet every man under Cot. llarney pressed
onward, u if determined to be first al the breast
works. The history of war can hardly show n
parallel to the sIormng If Ccrro Gordo."
