flreef his youth had-gone out; but the , , spirit

the virtues and the patriotism Of that chief,
whose arm, 'sustained by Omnipotent power,
rolled back the great stones, which for ages
had sealed the sepulchre of Union rights, end
burst the fetters which had bound the genius
of liberty. AU over this vast republic, it Was
a night of ley. How difierent was the iscene
in another quarter! • At-Buena Vista on the
cold and black Sierra - Madre, lay'a little band
of patriots. No cheerful fires blazed around
them. The colddamp earth was their bed;
the lowering clouds of night their canopy, and
the piercing mountain storm,- the song that
lulled their weary spirits to- rest. In front
were the serried hosts of Santa Anna—the ar—
my of the Mexicaurepublie, numbering twen
ty thousand soldiers. Around the chief were
gathered the choice military spirits,, of the
land. They looked to the morrow with bright
anticipations, as the day that was to retrieve
their fallen fortunes. On the morning of the
20 f as far as the eyes of our little army could
reach, nothirig was seen but living masses•
moving in-order to the attack. Their bright
uniforms in the diStant valley looked like one
yak flower garden, and the rays of the morn
ing sun was refleeted back by the thsiusand
polished lances that gleamed upon the moun
tain side. The details of that glorious
achievement have been recorded by `other and
abler pens. It was a day that shed lustre
upon our arms, and added - renown to "Anieri-•
can prowess; From early dawn; until the
curtain of night dropped upon the scene, five
thousand Americans, arm to arm were en
gaged in deadly conflict with the overpower
ing number, :that',..were hurled in frightful
- masses upon them. Never, on the American.
continent, was a battle fought against such
fearful odds, and never was a-result more glo—
rious. . Although we are Called upon to
mourn the loss of. many a gallant spirit, it
enlygroves tkat our army' was made of men
"who for their country, nobly dared to die.”—
They were freemen, in whoin' bosoms boat
American hearts. .When a foreign foe had
invaded - their soil, American blood had been
bbt'il, with characteristic zeal and patriotism
they rushed to their country's standard, deter
mined to sustain the nation's honor, or perish
i n the last effort. They exphanged the
peaceful fireside, the comforts' of home, and
domestic felicity, for the 'tented field, and the
clangor of arms. They bid farewell to their
parents, wives, children and friends,many of
them never to return figain..Along e lonely
Vaults of the Rio Grande, or on the mountain
heights of the Sierre . Madre, they sleep.—
Peace to their ashes!
'Whilst these brave men were were fighting
.our battles, and pouring out yrir life's-blood
like water, curiosity led me
,t examine what
their repr sentatives in Congress assembled
were dot for theni. In. the Senate, at the
very hot the fiercest strife, GEOIIO/1 EVANS
the Fed enator from Maine, was giving
moral ai n comfort tckqur enemies, by ma
hing• a furious and " dehunciatory speech
against his country extolling Mexican justice
and Mexican piatrionism, whilSt these very.
miscreants whose character be:was extolling,

brave patriots, as they were dying tor their
country's cause, thnit that, at that. very.iiio
went, an American Senator, in the national
Senate chamber, was denouncing the coun
try and cause for W hich they were dying, as
unjust; 'and that th it enemies were waging a
jUt.t and righteous var.
fßat they breathe out their spirits; and the
cold, unfeeling, an i-American words fell not
upon their leaden ears. In the other end of.
the Capitol, where the immediate representa
tives of the pedple were assembled, I:another
scene was being e acted; the army approPri
/aim, bill was and r consideration. The de
bate opened with a able and patriotic speech
from Mr. Xonats
. .of New llainpshire,,n
worthy, represents, Ise of a noble State. Yu
succession followed the moil. Citsrtims-CAU
, soz.t„ of New Yorik, a 'Federalist. Ile made
' the most liberal speech on that side of the
Liaise: and ? his patriotic appeals to his broth
er Federalists "to raise themselves above all
party considerations, and help to prosecute
the war in' such a way as,would reflect honor
and glory upon their. country," did credit to
his distinguished relative of ~ 'Carrollton."
Nest was heard the deep-toned voice of Vir
ginia'4 favorite 'son, the patriotic DOONIO 00
His defence of the' administration, the justice
of the war, and the necessity of 'its vigorous
prosedution, were logical, eloquent, nod con
,clusive. It was admitted by all who heard
him, to.be one of the most brilliant alias of
the reason.' The hour of 3 o'clock arrived,
and I,the House proceeded to vote upon the bill.
It, was the great measure of the country.
Upon its, fate depended the success of our
arms the honor and glory of our nation. Our,
arm; needed provisions; the , weary soldier

But with confusion and shame will the future

names of 28 members of Congress,' who at
the very moment our glorious little army on
the far off mountains of exico wet° contend

the necessary supplies. To - the veteran Gen.'

The .1 u rtd, British frigate.is 'still lying here;
end will 'probably remain at the disposition of
Gen:tral Miller for several months. ; A British
store ship has just arrived from ValpaLaiso
with full supplies for a frigate for a year.—
The Government haVe kept up such an inces
sant quarrel with the decision of the British
Gevernmnet under whicl' their ioverei b nty
was restored, as to crew e the necessit of
keeping n ship of war on he spot, in order.to
aid the consul general to; carry out any in
set-actions he' i may receive from London.
Stioth is the fact, and the most clear-headed
of owl foreign community baiie their apprehen
sions that, in view of the proceeeings of our
Government in California, and in view alio of
the settlement 'of the Oregon question on
terms which will preclude the British Govern
ment from establishing any military station
on that coast, they will take occasion of the
want of good faith and capcity on the part of
those in authority here, to assert lit least the
right ore paramount control, if not of absolute
jurihdiction, in the Island. 1 .

A pat, a short time since, ade an addi

one day, (to receive the gratulations of her
friends', probably,) found upon her return, that
all the "little ones" had disappeared. The
mother's feelings may ho better imagined than II
described; and we shall therefore make no at- ' l ,
tempt at the pathetic depiction. A few days
after this melancholy seperation, a rat's nest
was discovered, upon. removing some rubbish
in the house, and in the, nest were the kittens,'
fat and playful!! They had doubtleis' been
suckled by the she rat. flow the kittens go!,
