We find in the New Orleans Troiuc of the 30ih ultimo the subjoined highly j interesting account of the Battle of Bue- i na Vista, from the pen of an accomplish- j t-d gentleman who shared its honors and its perils. It is full of interest, as pre senting the most graphic description ol the scenes of that ensanguined field which we have yet seen. Nat. Intel. Correspondtnce of the New Orleans Tropic. Camp at Bursa Vista, Febr. 24, 1847. On the morning of the 22d intelligence reached General Taylor at his camp, on the hill overlooking Saltiilo from the south, that Santa Anna, whose presence in our vicinity had been reported for sev eral days, was advancing upen our main lody, stationed near the Rancho San Juan ile Buena Vista, about seven miles from Saltiilo. The General immediately mov rd forward with May's squadron of Dra goons, Sherman's and Bragg's batteries uf Artillery, and the Mississippi regimeut cf Riflemen, under Col. Davis, and ar rived at the position which he had select ed for awaiting the attack of the enemy about 11 o'clock. The time and the place, the hour and the man, seemed to promise a glorious celebration of the day. It was the 22d of February, the anniver sary of that day on w hich the God of Baule. gave to freedom its noblest cham pion, to patriotism its purest model, to America a preserver, and to the world iie nearest realization of human perfec tion; fcr panegyric sinks before the name of Washington. The morning was bright and beautiful. Not a cloud floated athwart the firmament or dimmed the azure of the skv, and the flood of golden radiance which gilded the mountain lops and poured over the val leys, wrought light and shade into a thou sand fantastic forms. A soft breeze swept down from the mountains, rolling into graceful undulations ihe banner of the Republic, which was proudly streaming from the fiag-stafT of the fort and from the towers and battlements of Saltiilo. The omens were all in our favor. In the choice of his position Gen. Tay lor exhibited the same comprehensive sa gacity and masterly coup i'.eil which characterized his dispositions at Resaca de la Palraa, and which crowned trium phantly all his operations amid the bla zing lines of Monterey. The mountains rise on euher side of an irregular and broken valley, about three miles in width, dotted over with hills and ridges, and scarred with broad and winding ravines. The main road lies along the course of an arroyo, the bed of which is now so deep as to form an almost impassable barrier, while the other side is Wounded by preci pitous elevations, stretching perpendicu larly towards the mountains, and separa ted by broad gullies, until they mingle in to one at the base of the principal range. On the right of the narrowest point of the roadway a battalion of the first Illi nois regiment, under Lieut. Col. Weather lord, was stationed in a small trench, ex tending to the natural ravine, while, on the opposite height, the main body of the regiment under Col. Hardin was posted, with a single niece of artillery from Capt. Washington's battery. The post of .ho- j nor on the extreme right was assigned to ! Brag's artillery, his left supported by the second regiment of Kentucky foot under Col. McKee.the left flank, of which rested upon the arroyo. Washington's j Lattery occupied a position immediately ! in front of the narrow point of the road May, in rear of which and somewhat to the left, on another height, the second II linis regiment, under Col. Bisscll, was posted. Next on the left, the Indiana brignd?, under Gen, Lane, was deployed, while on the extreme left the Kentucky cavalry, undvr Col. Marshall, occupied a position directly under the frowniug sum mits of the mountains. The two squal rons of the first an 1 second dragoons, and the Arkansas cav.d-y under Col. Yell, ere posted in rear, ready for any ser vice which tliu exigencies of the day tuight require. These dispositions had been made for and success; their field officers, McKee, some time, when the enemy was seen , Clay, and Fry, passing along their line, advancing in the distance, and the clouds animating and encouraging the men by of dust which rolled up before him gave precept and example. The second Un satisfactory evidence that his numbers ; nois regiment also received the enemy's were not unworthy the trial of strength fire with great firmness, and returned an upon which we were about to enter. j aruple equivalent. While the fierce con He arrived upon his position in immense flict was going on the main body of Col. masses, and with forces sufficiently nu- f Hardin's regiment moved to the ricrht of merous to have commenced Ins attack at once, had he been as confident of success as it subsequently appeared he was soli- citous for our safety. The first evidence directly afiorded us of the presence of Santa Anna was a white flag, which was dimly seen fluttering in the breeze, and anon Surgeon General Lindenberg, of the Mexican army, arrived, bearing a beauli ful emblem of benevolent bravado and Christian charity. It was a missive from Santa Anna, suggested by considerations for our personal comfort, which has pla ced us under lasting obligations, propo sing to General Taylor terms of uncon ditional surrender; promising good treat ment; assuring us that his force amounted to upwards of 20,000 men; that our de feat was inevitable, and that, to spare the effusion of blood, his proposition should be complied with. Strange to say, the American General showed the greatest ingratitude; evinced no appreciation what ever of Santa Anna's kindness, and in formed him that whether his force amoun ted to 20,000 or 50,000. it was equally a matter of indifference; the terms of ad justment must be arranged by gunpow der. The messenger returned to his employ er, and we waited ia silence to hear the war of his artillery. Hours rolled by without any movement on his part, and it appeared that the Mexican commander, grieved at our stubbornness, was almost disposed to retrace his steps, as if deter mined to have no further intercourse with such ungrateful audacity. At length he mustered resolution to open a fire from a mortar, throwing several shells into our camp without execution. While this was going on, iaptam oteen, ot mc ist dragoons, with a single man, started to- i one ot the men volunteered to lake the wards a hill on which the Mexican Gen- flag. The party returned to the field, eral seemed to be stationed with his sufi", ; and, though not in time to repair the dis but before he completed the ascent the j aster which their flight had created, to rc party vanished, and when he reached the j trieve, in a slight degree, the character of top he discovered that two regiments had the State. While the day, however, by thrown themselves into squares to resist his charge. The Captain's gravity was overcome by this opposition, and he re turned. Just before dark a number of Santa Anna's infantry had succeeded in getting a position high up the mountains on our left, from which they could make a noise without exposing themselves to much danger, and at a distance of three hundred yards opened a most tremendous fire up on Col. Marshall's regiment. This was returned by two of his companies, which were dismounted - and detached for the purpose within a as soon as they could arrive neighborly range. The skir mishing continued until after dark, with no result to us save the wounding of three men very slightly. During the night a Mexican prisoner was taken, who reported Santa Anna's force as consisting of fifteen pieces of ar tillery, including some 24-pounders, six thousand cavalry, and fifteen thousand in fantry, thus confirming the statement of his superior. The firing on our extreme left, which ceased soon after sunset oh the 22d, was renewed on the morning of the 23d at an early hour. This was also accompanied by quick discharges of artillery from the same quarter, the Mexicans having estab lished during the night a 12-poundcr on a point at the base cf tha mountain, which commanded any position which could be taken by us. To counteract the effect of this piece, Lieut. O'Brien, 1th artillery, was detached with three pieces of Wash ington's batterv, having with him Lieu tenant Bryan, of the Topographical En gineers, who, having planted a few shells in the midst of the enemy's gunners, for the time effectually silenced his fire. From the movements soon perceptible along the left of our line it became evi dent that the enemy was attempting to turn that flank, and for this purpose had concentrated a large body of cavalry and infantry on his right. The base of the mountain around which these troops were winding their way seemed girdled with a belt of steel, as their glittering sabres and polished lances flashed back the beams of the morning sun. Sherman's and Brngg's batteries were immediately ordered to the left; Col. Bisseli's regiment occupied a position between them, while Col. Mc Kee's Kentuckians were transferred from the right of our line so as to hold a posi tion near the centre. The second Indiana regiment, under Col. Bowles, was placed on our extreme left, nearly perpendicular to the direction of our line, so as to op pose by a direct fire the flank movement of the enemy. These dispositions hav ing been promptly effected, the artillery of both armies opened its fires, and si multaneously the Mexican infantry com menced a rapid and extended discharge , upon our line from the left to McKee's regiment. Our artillery belched forth its thunders with tremendous effect, while the Kentuckians returned the fire of the Mexican infantry with great steadiness ; the Kentuckians, and the representatives ; of each State seemed to vie with each other in ihe honorable ambition of doing the best service for their country. Both regiments gallantly sustained their posi tions and won unfading laurels. The veterans of Austcrlitz could not have ex hibited more courage, coolness, and devo tion. In the mean time the enemy's cavalry had been stealthily pursuing its way along the mountain, and, though our artillery had wrought great havoc among its num bers, the leading squadrons had passed the extreme points of danger, and were almost in position to attack us in rear. At this critical moment the Indiana regi ment turned upon its proper front and commenced an inglorious flight. The 1 efforts of Col. Bowles to bring it into po sition were vam, and over hills and ra vines they pursued their shameful career to the great delight of the enemy, who rent the air with shouts of triumph. Se veral officers of General Taylor's stair immediately dashed off, to arrest, if pos sible, the retreating regiment, and restore it again to reputation and duty. Major Dix, of the Pay Department, formerly of the 7th infantry, was the first to reach the deserters, and seizing the colors of the regiment, appealed to the men to know whether they had determined to desert them. He was answered by three cheers, showing that though the men had little disposition to become heroes themselves, they were not unmindful of an act of tli-j- linguishcd gallantry on the part of anoth er. A portion of the regiment immedi ately rallied around him, and was re formed by the officers. Dix, in person, then led them towards the enemy until tins disgraceful panic, was last going a gainst u?, the artillery was advanced, its front extended, and different sections and pieces, under Sherman, Bragg, O'Brien, Thomas, Reynolds, Kilburn, French, and Bryan, were working such carnage in the ranks of the enemv as to make the col umns roll to and fro like ships upon the billows. His triumph at the Indiana re treat was but for a moment, and his shouts of joy were soon followed by groans of anguish and the shrieks of expiring hun dreds. Washington's battery on the right had now opened its fire and driven back a large party of lancers, advancing in that direction. Along the entire line the battle raged with great fury. Twenty -one thou sand of the victims of Mexican oppres sion and the myrmidons of Mexican des potism were arrayed against five thou sand Americans, sent forth to conquer a peace. The discharges of the infantry followed each other more rapidly than the sounds of the Swiss Bell-ringers in the fierce fervor of a finale, and the volleys of artillery reverberated through the mountains like the thunders of an Alpine storm. The myriads of Mexican cavalry still pressed forward on our left, and threaten ed a charge upon the Mississippi rifles, under Col. Davis, who had been ordered to support the Indiana regiment, and had succeeded in preserving a fragment of it in position. Col. Davis immediately threw his command in the form of a V, the opening towards the enemy, and a w at ted his advance. On he came, dash ing with all the speed of Mexican horses, but when he arrived at that point from which could be seen the whites of his eyes, both lines poured forth a sheet of lead that scattered him like chaff, felling many a gallant steed to the earth, and sen ding scores of riders to the sleep that knows no waking. While the dispersed Mexican cavalry were rallying, the 3d Indiana regiment, under Col. Lane, was ordered to join Col. Davis, supported by a considerable body of horse. About this time, from some unknown reason, our wagon train dis played its length along the Saltiilo road, and offered a conspicuous prize for the Mexican lancers, which they seemed not unwilling to appropriate. Fortunately, Lieut. Rucker, with a squadron of the 1st dragoons, (Capt. Steen having been pre viously wounded and Capt. Eustis con fined to his bed by illness,) was present, and by order of Gen Taylor dashed a- mong them in a most brilliant style, dis persing them by his charge as effectually as the previous fire of the Mississippi ri flemen. May s dragoons, with a squad ron of Arkansas cavalry under Capt. Pike, and supported by a single piece of artillery under Lieut. Reynolds, now claimed their share in the discussion, and when the Mexicans had again assembled they had to encounter another shock from the two squadrons, besides a fierce fire of grape from Revnolds's six-pcttndcr. The lancers once more rallied, and, di- recting their course towards the Saltiilo road, were met by the remainder of Col. Yell's regiment and Marshall's Kcntuck- ; ians, who drove them towards the moun- tarns on the opposite side of valley, ! so.-i oi mutual consent, alter me last car where, from their appearance when last , nage wrought among the Mexicans by visible, it may be presumed, they are still j the art l.'ery, both bailies seemed willing running. In ihis precipitate movement ( to pauseupon the result. Night fell, and they were compelled to pass through a j the American General, with his troops, rancho, in which many of our valiant slept upon the battle ground, prepared, if comrades had previously taken refuge, necessary, to resume operations on the who, Irom this secure retreat, opened quite-an effective fire upon them. It is reported, moreover, that hundreds of the Arkansas cavalry were so well satisfied with the result of this single effort, that they deemed it unnecessary to make an other, and accordingly kept on their way to town, and there reported Gen. Taylor in full retreat. At this time the Mexican force was much divided, and the fortunes of tfie day were with us. Santa Anna saw the cri sis, and by craft and cunning sought to avert it. He sent a white flag to (Jen. Taylor, desiring to know "what he want ed." This was at once believed to be a mere ruse to gain lime and re-collect his men, but the American General thought fit to notice it, and Gen. Wool was depu ted to meet the representative of Santa Anna, and to say to him lhat we "wanted" peace. Before the interview could be had, the Mexicans themselves re-opened their fires, thus adding treachery of the highest order to the other barbarian prac tices which distinguish their mode of warfare. The flag, however, had accom plished the ends which its wily origtnator designed, for though our troops could have effectually prevented the remainder of his cavalry from joining the main bo dy, it could . only have been done by a fire, which, while the parley lasted, would have been an undoubted breach of faith. Although a portion of the lancers during this interim had regained their-original position, a formidable number, still re mained behind. Upon these the infantry opened a brisk fire, while Reynolds's ar tillery, beautifully served, hailed the grape and canister upon them with terrible ef fect. The craft of Santa Anna had restored his courage, and wiili his reinforcement of cavalry he determined to charge our line. Under cover of their artillery, horse and foot advanced upon our batteries. These, from the smallness of our infan- try force, were but feebly supported, yet j j.uoix, ami wua by the most brilliant and daring efforts no- ,!'3 hst breal.h re c8timoiiy against In ,f ..!

Again, our spirits rose. The Mexicans appeared thoroughly rout ed; and while their regiments and divis ions were flying before us, nearly all our light ' troops were ordered forward, and followed them with a most deadly fire, mingled wilh shouts which rose above the roar of artillery. In this charge the first Illinois regiment and McKee's Kentuck ians were ioremost. The pursuit was too hot, and, as it evinced too clearly our deficiency in numbers, the Mexicans, with a suddenness which was almost magical, rallied and returned upon us. They came in myriadr, and for a while the carnage was dreadtul on both sides. We were but a handful to oppose the frightful mas ses which were hurled upon us, and could as easily h ve resisted an avalaiv.-he of thunderbolts. We were driveu back, and the day seemed lost feyond redemption. Victory, which a moment before appear ed within our grasp, was suddenly torn from our standard. There was but one hope, but that proved an anchor sure and steadfast. While our men were driven through the rav ines, at the extremities of which a body of American lancers were stationed to pounce upon them like tigers, Brent and Whiting, of Washington's battery, gave them such a torrent of grape as to put thein to flight, and thus saved the rem nants of those brave regiments which had long borne the hottest portion of the fight. On the other flank, while the Mexicans came rushing on like legions of fiends, the artillery was left unsupported, and capture by the enemy seemed inevitable; but Bragg and Thomas rose with the cri sis, and ci-iipscd even the fame they won at Monterey, while Sherman, O'Brien, and Brian proved themselves worthy of the alliance. Every horse with O'Bri en's battery was killed, and the enemy had advanced to within range of grape, attrAaniilfT ill l-A f trn film Tint VM hl m.nL v ,rrP, ami hfnr the showers of iron-hail which assailed hira, squadrons and battalions fell like leaves in the blasts of autumn. The Mexicans were once more driven back with great loss, though taking with them three pie ces of artillery which were without hor ses. Thus thrice during the day, when all seemed lost but honor, did the artillery, by the ability with which it was manoeu vred, roll back the tidq of success from the enemv, and give such overwhelming r ' destructivencss to its effect that the armv was saved and the glory of the American arms maintained. j The battle had now raged with varia- , b!e success for nearly ten hours, and. by a morrow, iiut ere tne sun rose again up- eJ, leaving behind them only the rum or ds of t ieir dead and dying whose bones are to whiten their native hills, and whose moans of anguish were to excite in their enemies lhat compassion which can have no existence in the bosoms of their friends. Throughout the action Gen. Taylor was where the shots fell hottest and thick- esi, iwo oi wmcn passeu tnroun his clothes, greatest fertility He constantly evinced the quickness of conception, of resource, and a cool unerring judgment not to be baffled. Gen. Y ool was wherever his presence was required, stimulating the troops to ac tivity and exertion. The operations of Gen. Lane were confined to his own bri gade, and his effurts were worthy of bet ter material for their application. Major Bliss bore himself with his usual gallant ry, having his horse, as at Palo Alto, shot in the head. Mr. Crittenden, a son of the Senator from Kentucky, was conspic uous in the field as a volunteer aid to Gen. Taylor; and the Medical Director's assistant Surgeon, Hitchcock, would be sometimes seen where the balls fell fast est, binding up a wound or dressing a broken leg, with true professional zeal; and anon galloping with the ardor of an ametur knight, conveying orders to differ ent commanders. In this, as in every case of arbitrament by the sword, the laurel is closely entwin ed with the Cypress, and the lustre of a brilliant victory is darkened by the blood ot which it has been purchafljd. I am unable to state our loss, but it has been very severe, nd proves the battle of Bne na Vista to have been by far the most ter rible conflict in which our troops have been engaged. Captain Lincoln, Assist ant Adjutant General to Gen. Wool, fell early in the action, while proudly distin guished by his efforts to bring the flying i i. ... .1 - l .. -.u noble Hardin met his death gloriously while conducting the last terrible charge. Co!. McKee after having gallantly t:s tained the honor of Kentucky throughout the action, fell in the foremost rank, and Lieut. Colonel Clay was cut down at al most the same moment with Hardin and McKee, while giving his men the most brilliant example of noble daring and lofty chivalry. Others have fallen, but iheir names arc not knvn to me, nor is for me to pro nounce the eulogy of those whose names I have recorded. 0:hcr and abler pons will do justice to the character and mem ory of the illustrious dead, whose devo tion to the Republic they have written with their blood and sealed with their lives. Lincoln was a gallant officer and accomplished gentleman, of pure heart and generous impulses, and worthy of his revolutionary lineage. Yell was a warm friend and grdisnt mm, quick to seethe right and ready to pursue it. Hardin was one of Nature's noblest spirits, a sol dier tried and true, a rare union of the best qualities of the head anil heart. Mc Kee was wi.e in council andfbrave in the field, with a heart moved by ihe tendsrest sympathies and most noble impulses. And what shall I stsy of Clay the young the brave, the chivalrous foremost in the fight the soul of every lefty sentiment? devoted to his friends add genorous to his enemies? He fell in the fluwer of his age and usefulness, and has left no wor thier name behind him. If he was not the "noblest Roman of them all," few will deny that in him 'Were the elements So mixed, that Nature might stand up and say . To all the world this was a man." But I cannot go on. Bi ena Vista. THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR. Fro m the N. O. Delta, March 31. Operations aroind Vera Ckvz. The opinion we have already entertained, hat the Mexicans would make a vigorous stand at Vera Cruz, receives daily rontir- I mallon 1 he' reckoned without their host who thought Gen. Scott woald a chieve a bloodless victory. From all we can gather the Mexican soldiers in Vera Cruz seem inspired with much spirit and zeal, and are determined not to yield up the city without some strong manifesta tions of bravery and patriotism. There arc about five thousand effective soldiers in the town, and a large number of towns folk, men and women.who in siege can be rendered extremely useful in aiding ihe soldiers. Wc sll remember, ia the histo ry of the Peninsular War, hovr power fully the citizens of Saragosa, aad other Spanish towns, co-operated agniust the besigeing French armies. We understand that though it was the urgent desire of the Mexican commander that the citizens especially tiie women, should leave the town, but few in fact left. This U deep ly to be regretted. Many deplorable? scenes must ensue from the bombarding or storming a town where are gathered many innoceut women and children. Tho Mexican women are somewhat remarka ble for their bravery. In thia, as in all the other higher qualities of humanity, thev are vastly superior to the men. In this battles of Monterey and Buena Vi?u they were every where, in the very mids: of contending host, conspicuous for their devotion and self possessed courn in administering to the wounded, and cheer ing the last flickering thoughts of the dy ing soldier. It would give a dark tingo to the brilliancy of any victory we might achieve before Vera Cruz," if helpless women and children were mingled with the victims of the fierce storm we are a bout to let Iooe on the devoted city. Let it be borne in mind, however, that our General, to avoid such sad results of war, has offered a free passage through his camp to all the non-combatants of the ci ty, and has indeed solicited the departure of the women and children. In vigorously defending Vera Cruz the Mexicans are influenced more by a pride of character and a sense of shame lor their previous defeats, than by any patri otic impulses, or by any hope of succeed ing in the conflict. They tight as the du ellist does, en a point of honor, and even if they are worsted, are well satisfied with the show at least of courage and chi valry. Defeat to them is a matter ot course, but its mortification are son for gotten, if it has been achieved at great sacrifice of life. Thus we find Santa Anna, after a precipitate fight from the bloody field of Buena Vista, claiming the victory over Taylor, chiefly on the ground of the heavy loss he inflicted on the lat ter, and on the "brave charge of his invin cible soldiers." It is a victory with the Mexicans to show ficjht against our troops. Ii is not known in what way Gener.it Scott will cenduct h'13 operations arcuuJ Vera Cruz whether he will content him self with the unquestionable honor of a. long siege, and starving the poor Vera Cruzanos into terms, or whether he will cast the hazard of his die upon the bloody arbitrament of a storm, and revive the glories of Chippewa and Lundy's Lane under the heavy fire of San Juan d'Ulua. The latter plan will be the most brilliant and glorious, and we think the least des tructive and dangerous to our troops. The delay of a siege, besides the casual ties incident to the exposed portion of our lines, which are even now withia range of the guns of the ca?t!e, and which we presume are to be adv-uced still nearer to the city, will bring our troops in con tact with a foe mere formidable than Mex ican valor and prowess. The vomito would thin our ranks faster than all the guns of San Juan, and Vera Cruz would tin J in this scourge a wall of defence more invulnerable than the sevenfold walls of Troy. To carry the city by storm will, we think, the most judicious and effective mode of operations, and the one most suited to the character of qur troop?. The valor and energy of our raw volunteers will languish under a long siege, in a warm climate and exposed 'po sition. In a combined attack on the city they would equal any troops in the world. When Vera Cruz is taken it will, we presume be garrisoned, and the body of our troop will be marched to the high and beautiful town of Jalapa, situate about thirty miles from the seacoast, but seven ty miles by the road from Vera Cruz. Here they can be maintained in health, and well supplied with all the comforts and necessaries of life. If a proper deci phne is preserved, as we are sure will be the casa if Gen.' Scott remain in com mand, these troops will be in fine condi tio:! to march towards the capital in ihs fall. It will be necessary, however to impose a tight rain upon eur volunteers when encampeJ in the lovely valley of ! Jalapa,, or lured by the influences of the ch:nat?, anJ removed fro.11 the restrains of a w?ll-orJered society, they may share thj fate of Hannibal's veterans when en camped at Cannrc, who, worn out by lux ury and dissipation, fell an easy prey to the wary enemy. But we trust that these dangers may be avoided by the speedy termination of thia uufortunattf war. Ojt unfotintc asd obstinate enemy will, we trust, awake from his delusioa, and accept of the orerturcsso often pro- i ferr?d by us, anl untie m terminating so destructive a war. All tbe glory and brilliancy achieved by either nation can i n:ver 'Blazon th e7ildeJ or eonsferate ih crime1 of a war between twa neighboring Rt Re publics.
