The Battle of Buemt Vista.
From the New-Orleans Delta, March 27. j
We had the pleasure of an interview yesterday .
with Major Coffee, of the Army, who brought over .
Gen. Taylor's dispatches. This gallant officer t
-i son of ihe distinguished General who fought so :
bravely on the Plains of Chalmette, and in various J
other battles, by the side of the illustrious Jackson ,
acted as the Aid of Gen. Taylor in the bloody ;
fight at Buena Yista. We are greatly indebted to :
him for many particulars of this hard-fought bat- j
tie- I
Gen. Taylor had fallen in love, at first sight,
with the position at which he nnauy maue ms
stand at Buena Vista. His move toward Agua
N'ueva was merely a ruse to decoy the enemy into
ihe field which he had selected for his battle-,
ground. As soon as McCulloch's men, who were ;
a.
invaluable as scouts, mlormed him oi aanta An-.
nas approach to Agua Nueva, Gen. Taylor qui- su,orcj tUe enemy w10 were sabbing him with Lieutenant Crittenden's reply, which we have al
etly broke up his camp and fell back to his first- lheir bayonets Tlle vetera Captain William S. ready given" Gen. Taylor never surrenders V

ther of two mountains, between which ran the road '
through a narrow valley. On his right there was ,

was entrenched and defended by a strong battery.

the casualities sustained by our army on the 2 1st.
During the day an officer approached our lines
with a flag of truce, and requested to be shown to
Gen. Taylor. The brave old man was sitting
quietly on his old white charge with his leg over
the pommel of the saddle, watching the movements
of the enemy, when the Mexican officer was pre
sented. In a very courteous and graceful man
ner the officer stated that " he had been sent by
his Excellency Gen. Santa Anna, to his Excel
lency Gen. Taylor, to inquire, in the most respect
ful manner, what he Gen. Taylor was waiting
for." From the silence of General Taylor's bat
teries, and the quiet manner in which he received
Santa Anna's terrific cannonading, the Mexican
supposed he was asking a very pertinent question,
to which, however, old Rough and Ready gave the
very pertinent reply that "he was only waiting for
Gen. Santa Anna to surrender.31 The Mexican
returned hastily to his lines. This message proved
to be a ruse to ascertain where Gen. Taylor's po
sition was, for after the return of the Mexican of
ficer to his own ranks the whole 'Mexican battery
seemed to open upon Gen. Taylor's position, and
the balls flew over and about him like hail. Ut
terly indifferent to the perils of his situation, there
sat the old chief, on his conspicuous white horse,
peering through his spy glass at the long lines of
Mexican troops that could baseent a. great dis
tance on the march. The persuasion ..of Jus -aids
could not induce him to abandon his. favorable
point for xbseryaiion, nor give up his did white
Jioise. To the, juggflstip,n. of his staff- that old
whitey was rather i.too conspicuous aucharger for
ihe commander, h'eireplid4'that4he old fellow 'had'
missed the fun at--Monterey; 'on account of a sore
Joot, and he .ns determined he should, have his
frluue this time."
At sunrise on the 22d February the battle be
gun in earnest. The Mexicans were drawn out
in immense numbers. The dark columns of in
fantry extended as far as the eye could reach, and
the cavalry seemed to cover the whole view with
their lines. At intervals between the infantry,
their big guns, strongly-protected by a large artil
lery force, kept up an incessant cannonade against
our lines. Their forces wore soon in motion.
Our artillery was thrown forward to meet thern,
protected by the volunteers. Gen. Wool led ihe
main body in person, and was seen everywhere
rallying and encouraging the volunteers. The
two armies were soon engaged in hot conflict.
The broken nature of the ground divided the for
ces, so that litead of one general engagement
the regiments were compelled in a great measure
to light on their own hook. Our officers were al
ways in the advance, leading their troops hence
' the great mortality among them In this general
Uncicc, one oi our small regiments ol 400 men,
would be attacked by a whole Mexican brigade of
several thousand.' Thus the Kentucky Infantry
was attacked at the foot of a hill, in a deep ravine,
by an immense force of the enemy. A. large num-
bcr of the officers was killed here among them
was Col. McKee, who fell badly wounded, and
was immediately dispatched by the enemy, who
pierced him with their bayonets as he lay on the
ground Lieut. Col. Clay was shot through the
thigh, and being unable to walk, was taken up and
carried some distance by some of his men, but

repulsed. The distinguished command
this gallant regiment, Colonel Jefferson Da- j
vis, was badly wounded, an escopette ball havintr!
entered his foot and passed out of his leg. lie1
was, however, doing well when last heard from. '
The chivalrous Colonel McClung was prevented!
from doing his share of the brave deeds of this j
brilliant fight, by tiie grievous wound received at j
the battle of Monterey, which still confines him to!
his bed, and from which it is feared by his best
friends he will never recover.
Colonel Humphrey Marshall's splendid regi
ment of Kentucky cavalry were impatient for an
opportunity of showing their mettle and avenging
lhe capture ol lheir brethren, then in the hands of
the enemy. They were soon favored with the de
sired opportunity, by the approach of a force of
more than 2000 lancers and hussars, who gallant
ly charged them. The Kenluckians stood their
ground with immovable steadiness, and receiving
the enenmy with a fire from their carbines, charged
in the most gallant style through the, column on
the right, and wheeling, fell on their left, dispers
ing and killing a great many of them. A like
charge tvas made by Col. May, at the head of a
squadron of dragoons, and one .of Arkansas caval
ry, against a large body of the enemy's cavaliy,
with like results.
During the engagement on the right, 'anla An
na, seeing that General Taylor's force was not
well protected oh the left flank, sent a large force
of cavalry aidund'that point, and outflanking Tay
lor succeeded in throwing 2000 meh into his rear.

Lieut. Crittenden was dispatched, with a flag of
truce, to demand the immediate surrender of this
force. The Mexican officer, pretending not to un
derstand the character of his mission, insisted that
he should be blindfolded, according to the rules of
war, and thus had the Lieutenant canied into the
camp of Santa Anna himself. This was a ruse to
get time to extricate the Mexican cavalry from
their dangerous position, and pending this truce
they were all drawn off by a different road from
that by which they had gained this position.
Lieutenant Ciittenden was conducted blindfol
ded to the tent of the Mexican General-in-Chief,
which he found a long distance from the scene of
action, and which he thought the safest place he
had been in during the whole day. As ho ap
proached Santa Anna's tent he was greeted with
a most tremendons flourish of trumpets, which .
might have been heard a mile off, but produced no !
very great terror in the mind of the Kentuckian.
His blind was taken off, and he found himself in
the presence of the famous Mexican Chief, sur
rounded by a brilliant staff of bedizened, gilded,
and moustached officers. Santan Anna apologized
to the Lieutenant for the act of his officers, in hav
ing him blindfolded, saying, that so far from hav
ing any desire to conceal his situation, he was de
sirous of exhibiting to General Taylor the utter
folly of resisting so powerful an army as he had
under his command. To which the Lieutenant
replied, that his simple message was to demand
his Santa Anna's immediate surrender to Gener
al Taylor. When this extraordinary demand was
translated to the Mexican, he raised his hands and
eyebrows in utter astonishment at the temerity
and presumption of such a message, and replied,
that he would expect Gen. Taylor to surrender in
an hour, or he would destroy all his forces.
termineted the interview, and the battle recom-
menced, and was continued until night.

tillery, which, under Lieutenant O'Brien, had been

There was but one complaint made against him.
Brigadier Gen. Lane, also showed himself,to be a
brave and capable officer. Although wounded
early in the action, he kept his horse until it closed, !
and never for a moment left his post.
The old General-in-Chief remained at his origi-
nal and much exposed position, superintending
the battle and narrowly watching its events. An
escopette ball passed through his overcoat that
same old brown, so familiar to all the officers and
men who have ever been und.er his command, and
which has seen several campaigns in Plorida, in
Texas, and in Mexico.
On the night of the 22d, both armies drew off
from the field of battle. Our men were engaged
all night in bringing in the wounded and taking
care of them; the Mexicans as well as their own
men- There were, however, but few of our men
found on the field wounded. They were, to use
Santa Anna's significant words, .in his despatch,
" all dead," the cowardly miscreants having killed
every man whom they overtook wounded and help
less on the field. With like turpitude and treach
ery, they left their own dead unburied and their
wounded uncared for, on the field where lhey fell.
The latter were carried. to Saltillo in our own
wagons ; the former were buried by the Alcalde,
under the orders of Gen Taylor.
A-"number of officers were taken-prisoners, and
an exchange was effected, by which all our men
who are now in their hands were released Cas
sius M. Clay's party are understood now to be in
the City of Mexico. '

Minon, it appears has not as yet realized the
brillant career of which he considered his cap
ture of Maj. Borland an earnest. He was or
dered by Santa Anna 10 attack and carry Sai
lillo during the engagement at Buena Visla.
With this 'object, he made a demonstration
against the town wilh two thousand cavalry.
Lieut. Shover, with sixty men and two small
pieces of artillery went ouMo meet the valiant
General, and at one discharge of his cannon,
sent him and his large force to the right-about
in double quick time.
In concluding our necessarily imperfect
sketch of the few details of the brilliant deeds
of American valor performed at Buena Visla
details gathered froth a hasty conversation, we
musi bo allowed to express our satisfaction to
find that the anticipations we have so confi
dently and so frequently expressed of tho bra
very and efficiency of our volunteers, have
been more than realized. Let those who have
made our citizen soldiers the theme of their
rjbaldry and ridicule, be forever hushed into
silence by the unparalleled gallantry and glory
which have consocracd in American history
the bloody field of Buena Vista.

; his eye cocked boih ways. And h.e reasoned
i with himself, saying, "If i shall obey the
king, then will ihe enemy open upon me in
from, and the king and his company shall as
sault me the back, and lhe place shall become
too hot for me, and my travailings for the land
a
of Jonathan shall be nought.
And behold, as he pondered on these things,
and sipped his j,' hasty plate of soup," his spirit
waxed warm within htm, and he straightway
declared unto the king, he would be hanged if
he would budge an inch. Then was lho king
wroth, and said unto him, "The Whigs do so
to me, and more also, if I dont play ihe devil
with ihce for this !" Nevertheless, the word
of the king prevailed not against him.
But the war displeased Horace the Fourier
ilo, and ho railed vehemently against the king,
and cursed him in his heart, and taught the
peoplo also lo hate him. Now Horace was a
mighty scribe, neither regarded he the apparel
of any man.
Clt-APTEIt n.
Now Zachariah did many mighty acts and
smote the enemy hip and thigh, and took pris
oners ihe captains of their host, and very much
spoil, of caitlo and sheep and asses.
But in process of tune, the treasury of the
king wah greatly diminished; and he called
unto him Robert, the Steward of his household,
and said unio him, " Wherewithal will hou
proi ido' for the sustenance of ihe army, and, the
maidens of my household 1" And the Steward
answered and said unto him : This thing wili l
do, I will I'omb my hair and anoint my whiskers
wiih oil, and put on a' sanctimonious air, and
go unio-'the mon;y shavers of Gotham, and it
shall be, when they behold. my face, that iheif
purse strings bhall relax, and they shalUreplen
ish tho treasures of my lord the km. Anl
the saying pleased the king well. .
So Robert went unto Gotham unto the m-.v
of the money changers. And he went Tnn
the chief banker named Flmihean, audji
aought him saying, " Lend now unto n.e ti n
thousand talents of gold, and ihe king will
the repaid.4' But Flintheait rolled up the whitu
of his eyes and answered him, saying, A )n
servant gieen, that he should do this great
thing V Likewise also said all the bankers
Bui when the king heard thereof, he was
greatly troubled, and wist not what to do ; like
wife Marcy the scribe rent his pants."
Now Ritchie, surnamed the Father," was
privy counsellor to the king, and ihe same wa.t
a cunning man, and a plausible, "and full of 'all
manner of hypocrisy, and deceit, and sened
diligently his father the devil. And he crepi
stealthily at midnight unto the king and suui
unto him, why is the countenance of my lord
the king cast down 1 Aro not all the people
as grass in thy sight 1 Now. therefore, lei a
tax be imposed on tea and coffee, ho shall thy
treasuries be filled." And ihe king sought la
do according to the word of Ritchie ; but the
people murmured against him, and would nut
be taxed.
In those days the spirit moved Zncharialrtci
write a letter to his kinsman, and il was noised
abroad through all the land. And the ihin
troubled the king, aud ho would have lai.l
hands on Zachariah but he feared the people ;
. for alj ,hc peoplo ored Zacharhih, and deJire.l
a gallows fifty cubits high. So the land had
rest from the sciibes and quill-drivers.
