Bravely they swept on. in face of a withering lire, and siattered the Mexicans in all directions. Attempting to pursue the fugitives l across the ravine, our sol diers, were exposed to the fire of the Mexican batteries posted there, which mowed them down till they were piled in bleeding masses. Every effort was made to dismantle these guns, but, though blocked up by the dead and dying, the Mexican veterans stood resclutely to their posts. Heroic Charge of Captain May In this desperate crisis of the battle General Taylor ordered Captain May to charge with his dragoons upon the Mexican batteries. This he performed in the lace of murderous showers of grape-shot. driving the Mexican artilledists of Mexico fought with des turing General la Vega. The veteran artillerists of Mexico fought with des perate valor to regain their guns, but were beaten back again and again with immense loss, and soon the now dismayed Mexican host was in a dis orderly retreat. Thus, by a wonderful cavalry charge on entrenched batteries, Resaca ile la Palma was won. and another brilliant name had been added to the tororet blazoned with the names of Columbia's heroes. Captain May was a name to conjure with throughout the length and breadth of our land, and there was scarcely a town in the United States so obscure that it did not have an old-fashioned hand fire engine, a race horse, a street or a hotel named "Captain May." As the Americans rushed in pursuit of the panic-stricken enemy, the lat ter threw away arms and baggage and lmiried in headlong flight toward the Rio Grande.

Hundreds threw themselves into the river and many found death beneath its waters. In this engagement the Americans numbered 1,700; the Mexicans 7,000. The American loss was 122 including several gallant officers killed and wounded. The loss of the enemy from the circumstances attending their Hight, was never accurately ascer-' tained, but was not less than 1,000. Ilow Taylor Came lo Monterey When General Taylor reached Fort Brown he found that its gallant gar rison had withstood a continuous bombardment of 160 hours from the Matamoros batteries during the pro gress of which the commander of the little band, Major Brown, fell mortally wounded. Taylor immediately crossed the river, drove the enemy from Matamoros and occupied the town permanently. It. was now the desire of the Am erican commander to press on to the inland city of Monterey where the Mexican. Gen. Amputia was collecting a large army. But he found himself deficient in troops, supplies and means oi transportation, and was obliged to delay tor months. In fact, despite its brilliant victories, the Mexican war was one long drawn-out history of lack of preparedness on the part of the I'nited States which was constantly hampering the actions of our vic torious generals and depriving them of the fruits of their triumphs, while at the same time it caused a needless prolongation of the war. Some of these blunders in regard to lack of preparation, which ought to be a lesson to our pepole of to T day, will be mentioned more specifically before the close of this series. At length Taylor's meager force of ■ egulars began to be augmented by volunteer regiments from the States, and in September 1846, he began his march toward the strongly-fortified Monterey. <>n the 18th of September the Am erican army encamped at Walnut Springs, three miles from the city, the fortifications of which were found to hi of immense strength, defended by redoubts and stone walls, and having every street commanded by heavy artillery. In addition to this the hell Independence, without the walls, was biislling with forts, one of which, named the Bishop's Palace, was deem ed iin pregnable. On September 21 the division com manded by the celebrated General Worth, having gained the heights in rfar of the Rishop's Palace, stormed tin- two principal redoubts near it and turned the captured guns on the main fortification. The next day thu Bishop's Palace itself fell before the determined assault of Worth's intrepid men. To favor Worth's movements, other American detachments under Twlgg and Butler had made a demonstration asrfiinst the city itself in which they losi heavily. On the night of the 22nd the enemy, finding their outer defenses no longer tenable, evacuated them, withdrawing al 1 their forces to the cathedral and other central works near the principal plana of the city. I low the Americans dug their way from house to house along the bloody streets of Monterey must lie reserved for the next number. (To Bo Continued). MI sir \T ui\VK.
