officers were particularly anxious to know
whether he Intended top on', or hold his

In the morning is council of war was
summoned and there were eleven cams
present, three only of them advised ad
vance. Mind, least no censure upon arty
one. A differenie of opinion, under such
circumstances, might have been expected.
But they who knew the power of the Light
Artillery, and had seen it play that day,
had confidence that it could clear a way
for the army back to Fort Brown. a Old
Zack," fur that is the name we call him,
replied after die, cosaultution had broken
up, we will advance in fifteen minute/l—
and forward they marched to Renee de la
Palma, the result of which, you all know.
Old Zack kept his word to Major Brown,
but alas, the brave and lamented Major
had received his death Wound.
So at Buena Vista. the personal3tharac
ter of General Taylor hada like influence
on the army. When the War EeparA
meet deemed it necessary in order to form
a column to invade Mexico via Vera. Cruz
to take his regulars from him, he was sure
that Santa Anna would *Reek him. "I
em the weak point," he often said, " and I
know he will attack me." But tie deter
mined to defend his position, and in order
the best. way to defend it, to advance.
Gen. Scott has taken a hundred, said he.:
I shall save 1 thousand. Gen. Taylor
kept‘well informed of the approach of the
enemy, by Geo. scouts, moved on
to Saltine, then on to Apia Nueva. It
was proposed at one time to meet the ene
my in advance of Aqua Nueva, but ascer
taining by his engineers that their posi
tion could be turned, he resolved.' to fall
back to Buena Vista, as the enemy tip
preached him. Buena Vista Id a military
position that any 'soldier's eye would se
lect fora defence. To no pat tiodar per
son is the credit of selection due—liir it
has been raid that even wartime') picked it
out as a place to repulse an tummy. Va
rious officers have had the credit of the.se
leetion, but, whatever particular ,credit is
due, is certainly due to the Commander4n-
Chief,,who fought the battle. The Mexi
cans themselves had fought a battle there.
Santn Anna knew the ground so well, that
he ordered Gen. Minon fo get into our
rear. Minon did as ordered, but when 'he
