Upbraid me not—l never swore
Eternal love to thee.

And I am six feet three;
I wonder, dear, how you suppose

That cannot fix a beau.
Besides, you must confess, my lova,
The bargain scarcely fair.
For never could we snake a match,
Although we made a Nair:

ACCOUNT OF TtiE LATE BATTLE.
BATTLE OP BUENA VISTA.
INTERESTING DESCRIPTION,
_ _ .
The New Orleans Delta having bud
`An interview with Major Coffee, of. the
Army, who brought over Gen. Taylor's
despatches—a son of the distinguished
' General who fought so bravely on the
Plains of Chalinettee, and in various
bther battles, by the side of the illustri
bus Jackson, and acted as the aid of
, ',Gen. Taylor, in the bloody fight of Bue
na Vista, gives these particulars of this
"bard fought battle:
Gen. Taylor had fallen in love, at first
'tight, with the position at which he
finally made his stand—at Buena Vista.
movement towards Agua Nueva was
Merely a ruse to decoy the enemy into
the field which he had selected for his
battle ground. As soon as McCulloch's
men, who were invaluable as scouts, in
formed himof Santa Anna's approachi to
Agua Nueva, Gen. Taylor quietly broke
up his camp, and fell back to his first
love—Buena Vista. This position was
admirably chosen. It was at the foot
of a mountain, or rather of two moun
&ins, betweenwhich ran the road through
a narrow valley. On his right there
was a deep ravine, which protected that
flank more effectually than half a dozen
regiments could have done. The left of
Gen. Taylor's line rested on the base of
a mountain. The road in the centre was
entrenched and defended by a strong
'battery. In front the ground was une
ven—broken into hills and deep ravines
—well adapted to the mode of fighting
suited to our volunteers, and by its pe
culiarities supplying the disadvantage
of a great inferiority of numbers.
On the 21st the enemy were descried
approaching over the distant hills. At
their appearance the volunteers raised a
great shout, and gave three tremendous
cheers. Their engineers and officers
were seen flying over the field, and
dragging their cannon about to get them
into position ; but the nature of the
ground did not favor the undertaking,
and it was late in the day before the big
guns began to open.
The enemy had with them thirty-two
cannon, mostly of large calibre. Their
fire, though kept up very briskly, and
apparently well manned, did so little ex
ecution in our ranks, that it was not
considered necessary to return their fire.
Our cannon were therefore silent the
whole of the 21st. Eight or ten killed
land wounded was the extent of the casu
alties sustained by our army on the 21st.
During the day an officer approached
our lines with a flag of truce, and re
quested to be shown to Gen. Taylor.
The brave old man was sitting quietly
on his white charger, with his leg over
the pommel of the saddel, watching the
movements of the enemy when the Mex
ican officer was presented. In a very
courteous and graceful manner the offi
cer stated that hehad been sent by his
Excellency Gen. Santa Anna to his Ex
cellency Gen. Taylor, to inquire, in the
most respectful manner, what he (Gen.
Taylor) was waiting for. From the si
lence of Gen. Taylor's batteries, and
tint quiet manner in which lie received
Santa Anna's terrific cannonading, the
Mexican supposed he was asking a very
proper question, to which, however, old
Rough and Ready gave . the very perti
nent reply, that he " was only waiting
for Gen. Santa Anna to surrender."—
The Mexican returned hastily to his
lines. This message proved to be a
ruse to ascertain where Gen. Taylor's
position was, for after the return of the
Mexican officer to his own ranks, the
whole Mexican battery seemed to open
upon Gcn. Taylor's position, and the
bells flew over and about him like hail.
Utterly indifferent to the perils of his
situation, there sat the old chief, on his
conspicuouswhite horse, peering through
his spy glass, at the long lines of Mexi
can troops that could be seen at a great
distance on the march. The persuasion
of his aids could not induce him to aban
don his favorite point of observation,
nor to give up his old white horse. To
the suggestion of his staffthat old whitey
was rather too conspicuous a charger for
the commander, he replied that "the old
fellow had missed the fun at Monterey,
on account of a sore foot, and he was
determined he should have his share
this time."
At sunrise on the 22d February, the
battle began in earnest. The Mexicans
were drawn out in immense numbers.
The dark columns of infantry extended
as far as the eye could reach, and the
cavalry seemed to cover the whole view
with their interminable lines. At in
tervals betwen the infantry and cavalry,
their big guns, strongly protected by a
large artillery force, kept lip an inces
sant cannonade against our lines. Their
forces were soon in motion. Our artil
lery was thrown forward to meet them,
protected by the volunteers. Gen. Wool
led the main body in person, and was
seen everywhere, rallying and encoura
ging the volunteers. The two armies
were soon engaged in hot conflict. The
broken nature of the around divided the
forces, so that instead . of one general en
gagement, the regiments were compelled
in a great measure to fight on their own
hook. Our officers were always in the
advance, leading their troops—henee the
great mortality among them. In this
general melee, one of our small regi
ments, of 400 men, would be attacked
by a whole Mexican brigade. 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
number of the officers were killed here,
among them was Col. McKee, who fell
badly wounded, and
.was immediately
despatched by the enemy, who pierced
him with their bayonets us he lay on the
ground. Lieut. Col. Clay was shot in
the thigh, and being unable to walk,
was taken up and carried some distance
by some of his men, but owing to the
steepness of the hill, the men finding it
very difficult to carry him, and the ene
my in great numbers pressing upon
them, the gallant Limit. Col. begged
them to leave him and take care of
themselves. Forced to leave him on the
field, the last that was seen of this noble
young officer, he was lying on his back
fighting with his sword the enemy who
were stabbing him with their bayonets.
The veteran Capt. Wm. S. Willis, of the
same regiment, at the head of his corn
pany,with three stalwart sonswho fought
at his side, wus badly wounded, but still
continued the fight until he was over
come with the loss of blood.
In the meantime, the Indiana brigade,
who were drawn out and ordered to
charge the enemy, were seized with a
panic, and displaying some hesitation s

; front, and whilst upbraiding them for
; their cowardice, was shot, several balls
. passing through his body. In justice
to this brigade, it should be stated that
they subsequently rallied, and fully re
deemed their reputation by the most
gallant and effective fighting.
Col. Haidin led the Illinoisians in very
handsome style, and the sturdy " suck
ers" fought like lions. Their intrepid
•Col. fell wounded, and experienced the
fate of COls. McKee and Clay, and was
killed by the enemy—not, however, be
fore he had killed one of the cowardly
miscreants with a pistol which he fired
whilst lying on the ground.
Col. Yell led, the foremost man, a
charge of his mounted volunteers,
against a large body of lancers, and
was killed by a lance which entered his
mouth, and tore off one side of his face.
The Missippians, the heroes of Mont
erey, after doing hard duty as skirmish
ers, were ordered into line to receive a
charge of cavalry, which they did with
their rifles, delivering at the same time
a most destructive fire among the crowd
ed columns of cavalry. The enemy was
completely repulsed. The distinguish
ed commander of this gallant regiment,
Col. Jefferson Davis, was badly wound
ed, an escopette ball having entered his
foot, and passed out of his leg. He was,
however, doing well when last beard
from. The chivalrous Lieut. Col. Mc-
Clung was prevented from doing his
share of the brave deeds of this brilliant
fight, by the grievous wound received
at the battle of Monterey, which still
confines him to his bed, and from which,
it is much feared by his best friends, he
will never recover. 1
Col. Humphrey Marshall's splendid
regiment of Kentucky Cavalry were im
patient for an opportunity of showing
their mettle, and avenging the capture
of their brethren, then in the hands of
the enemy. They were soon favored
with the desired opportunity, by the ap
proach of a force of more than 2000
Lancers and Hussars, who gallantly
charged them. The Kentuckians stood
their ground with immoveable steadiness
and receiving the enemy with a fire
from their carbines, charged in the most
gallant style through the column on the
right, and wheeling,' fell on their left,
dispersing and killing a great many of
them. A like charge was made by Col.
May, at the head of a squadron of Dra
goons, and one of Arkansas Cavalry,
against a large body of the enemy's Cav
alry, with like results.
During the engagement on the right,
Santa Anna, seeing that Gen. Taylor's
force was tint well protected on the left
flank, sent a large force of Cavalry
around that point, and outflanking Tay
lor, succeeded in throwing 2000 men
into his rear. But Gen. Taylor imme
diately sent Capt. Bragg, with his esti! ,
lery, against this force, who succeeded
in cutting thein•off from the main body.
Lieut. Crittenden was despatched, with
a flag of truce, to demand the immediate
surrender of this force. The Mexican
officer, pretending not to understand the
character of this mission, insisted that
lie should be blindfolded, according to
the rules of 'war, and thus had the Lieut.
carried 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 differ
ent road from that by which they had
gained this position.
Lt. Crittenden was conducted blind
folded. to the tent of the Mexican Gen
! eral-in-Chief, which lie found a long dis
tance from the scene of action, and which
he thought the safest place e had been
in during the whole day. As lie approach
ed Santa Anna's tent he was greeted
with a most tremendous flourish of trum
pets, which might have been heard a
mile off, but produced no great terror in
the mind of the Kentuckian. • His blind
was taken ofl; and he found himself in
the presence of the famous Mexican
Chief, surrounded by a brilliant Staff of
bedizzened, gilded, and moustached .offi
cers. Santa Anna apologized to the Lt.
for the act of his officers, in having him
blindfolded, saying, that so far from hav
ing any desire to conceal his . situation,
he was desirous of exhibiting to Gen.
Taylor the utter folly of resisting so pow
erful an army as he had under his com
mand. To which the Lieutenant replied,
that his simple message was to demand
his [Santa Anna's] immediate surrender
to Gen. Taylor. t% hen this extraordi
nary demand was translated to the Mex
ican, he raised his hands and eye-brow
in utter astonishment at the temerity and
presumption of such a message, and re
plied that he would expect Gen. Taylor
to surrender in an hour or lie would de
stroy all his forces. Lieut. Crittenden's
reply, which we have already given—
" Gen . Taylor never surrenders r.--ter
minuted the interview, and the battle
recommenced, and was continued until ,
night.

THE KENTUCKY REGIMENT,
AN INCIDENT AT TUE BATTLE OF BUENA VISTA.
At a very critical point of the battle
on the 23d, when it became necessary
to sustain one of our columns, which was
staggering under a charge made by the
Mexicans in overwhelming numbers,
Gen. Taylor despatched Mr. Crittenden
to order Col. McKee, of the 2nd Ken- ,
tucky Regiment, to bring his men into
immediate action. Mr. Crittenden found
the re g iment, men and officers, eager
for the fray, delivered the order and rode
back to the General, by whose side it
was his duty to keep. The Kentuckians
moved forward in gallant style, led by
McKee and Clay, both of whom, alas!
fell in a subsequent part of the day.—
It so happened that' before reaching a
position from which they could deliver
an effective fire, the regiment had to
cross a valley which was broken up by
ravines and masses of stone. Whilst
crossing this valley the heads only of
the men could be seen from the point
which Gen. Taylor and Mr. Crittenden
occupied—and these were bobbing up
and down and crosswise in such confu•
slots as to impress both with the idea
that the regiment had fallen into disor-
der. The Mexicans were annoying them
at the same moment by a fire, which
helped to confirm the opinion of the Gen ,
eral that the Kentuckians were thrown
into dismay:
It was one of those decisive crises
which occur in every contested field,
when the issue of the day depended, for
the time being, upon the gallantry of a
particular corps:
Gen: Taylor, who, as before said,
could only see the heads of the troops.
and misled by their motions in getting
across gullies and going around rocks
and other obstructions into the belief
that they were about to falter, turned to
Mr. Crittenden, who is a Kentuckian,
and with a countenance indicating deep
mortification ; for the General is a Kenr
tuckian too, and an eye fierce with emo
tion; exclaimed, "Mr. Crittenden, this
will not do—this is not the way for Ken
tuckians to behave themselves when
called upon to make good a battle—it
will not answer, sir ;"and with this he
clenched his teeth end knit his brow and
set his teeth hard together. Mr. Crit ,
tender), who was mistaken by the same
indications that deceived the General,
could scarcely make a reply from very
chagrin and shame. In a few moments,
however, the Kentuckians had crossed
the uneven places, and were seen ascend•
ing the slope of the valley, shoulder to
shoulder, and with the firm and regular
Step of veterans of a hundred fields.—
On they moved until they reached the
crest of the hill where they met the en
emy before the flush of a temporary ad-
Vantage had subsided. Here they deliv
ered their fires with such regularity and
deadly aim that the decimated phalanx
of Mexico gave way and retreated pre
cipitously. As the Kentuckians emer
ged from the valley the countenance of
the old General, who was regarding them
with the intensest interest, gradually
relaxed the bitterness of its expression.
A glow of pride supplanted the deep
mortification which fixed its muscles,
and enthusiasm qualified " the fierce
glance of his eye. Forward they moved
under his riveted gaze, whose feelings
became more and more wrought up as
they approached the scene of carnage.
When they opened their fire the old
General could no longer restrain his
admiration, but broke forth with a loud
huzza—" Hurrah for old Kentucky," he
exclaimed, talking as it were to himself
and rising in his saddle—" that's the
way to do it; give them h—II," and the
tears of exultation rolled down his cheeks
as he said it.
Having got rid of this ebulition of State
pride he went about looking after other
parts of the field.
The Kentuckians that day did their
duty as others did. They paid toll hi
travelling the high road to glory, as the
list of killed and wounded shows.
