    FROM SANTA FE.
Brilliant Victory—Overwhelming Defeat
of Two Thousand . l lfericani! 1
The Louisville Courier, of the 2d inet., contains
the following letter from St. Louis :
Br, Lours, March 29, 1947.
Mr. W. N. Maldemen—Dear Sir: We have thin
moment received an express from Santa Fe; the
Mexican Insurrectionists, numbering 2000 men,
marched down on Santa Fe, as was intimated by
our last advice.. They were met by Capt. Mor
ris's command in the valley of the Marchand total
ly defeated! A great number of the enemy were
killed and wounded, and the red fled precipitately
to the mountain.. The action was a moat brilliant
one on the part of our men and reflects much credit
on their coolneas and courage.
The following exciting information in contained
in a slip from the Independence Expositor, of the
25th inet.:
Thome. Caldwell, Esq.. has just got in from the
plains, and confirms the sad intelligence of the tnas•
nacre at Taos. Gov. Charles Bent and twenty-five
Americans, aro the victims of a cold-blooded assas
sination.
The insurrectionists consisted of about 2000
men, and started lot Santa Fe. Col. Price sent out
about 300 men to quell them; they met about 25
miles from Santa Fe, when an engagement took
place—the Mexicans drew up 2000 strong, but at
the first fire from our bravo Missouri boys, 36 of
them fell dead; and the balance fled.
Capt. Morris, of Platte, who was in command,
pursued them through the Moro valley, and burned
to ashes every house, town and rarchero in his path.
The inhabitants fled to the mountains, where they
are bound to starve, as Morin leaves them nothing
whatever to subsist upon—a just retribution for
their assassination of innocent people.
As Mr. Caldwell was passing out out. he heard
at a distance, the sound of artillery, and learned
from rumor in the edge of the settlement, that the
American army had whipped them worse than ever.
Capt. Headley, of Ray county volunteers, was the
only one killed on our side, and some seven slight
ly wounded.
The following additional items are from a letter
from Independence to the St. Louis Union :
No doubt the city of Taos is now in ashes, es
our Missouri boys had custard the smoke from their
burning houses to ascend from is thousand hills;—
the inhabitants in the Morn la!ley, men, women
and children, had fled to tho mountains. Mr. Cald
well left Col. Doniphatt at El Parse on the 12th of
January waiting for the a , Tillery companies to ar-
rive, when he intended to march to hihualtua.—
Po thinks that lloniphan, ere this, has taken Chi-
Imbue, or boa been token himself. We may await
with trembling anxiety a long time, I fear, for the
result of this hazardous expedition.
LATER.
;From the North American.]
Pirranuno, April 9, 9 P. M.
The SI. Louis Reveille of the 3 tst ult. contains
:Santa Fe news to the 3d of February. Several
actions had taken place between the Inaurrect tonists
and tke Americana. Col. Price, with 350 men, had
a battle with 2000 Mexicans at Corrado. in which
the Americans were victorious, antl36 of the cnetny
_ . .
Another action occurred a few days afterwards at
Nails Vado, with a similar result.
An action had occurred between the Miisottri
Volunteers and the Mexicans at Mier, in which
I ;npt. Headley, the commander or the voluntecio
wns killed.
The Americans then retired to Vegas. A rein
forcement of .100 men was sent from Santa Fe. un
der Col. Morrison, on whoa a appearance the Mex
icans abandoned More, after murdering eight A nter.
jeans. The insurrectionists are mostly of the !Ab
ide. Don Vigil, the Secretary of State under Gov.
Bent, was acting as Governor of Santa Fe. In a
skirmish between the volunteers under Capt. St.
Vrain and the insurrectionists, a Mexican was kill
ed, wearing Gov. Bent's coat and shirt. There was
much sickness at Santa Pe—from three to five
deaths occurring daily, mostly teamsters.
(EN. TAYLOR.
In speaking of the battle of Buena
Vista, the editor of the Richmond Whig
thus speaks of "Old Rough and Ready."
" We have no words to express our
admiration of the courageous and skil
ful commander of our forces, ZACHA
RY TAYLOR—of whom it is difficult
to say whether he is most to be adtnlred
for his rare genius, Ms ilidomitable en
ergy, and the modesty which seems to
be unconscious of his own merits, or
honored for the humanity and benevo
lence, which, when the battle has ceas
ed to rage, he has uniformly exhibited
towards the vanquished foe. Terrible
as the storm' while the conflict lasts, he
is 'gentle as the breeze' when the pros
trate enemy appeals to his forbearance
and magnanimity. Stern in the per
formance of his duty, he has not been
rendered callous by the scenes of car
nage which he has been compelled to
witness. Nor does he shrink himself i
from the perils of fife battle field. Thrice
has he narrowly escaped the bullets of
the enemy—as if he 'bears a charmed
life,' and is specially protected by Pro
vidence, to serve his country in other
fields. However this may be--Tand we
pretend to no power of divination—the
reputation of " OLD ROUGH AND READY "
is henceforth national property; clad he
who shall venture to detract from it, or
to pluck a leaf from the wreath with
which a grateful and admiring country
is prepared to encircle his brow, will be
visited by a general burst of indignation.
We make-this remark in no partizan
spirit. We •speak not as a Whig, of a
Whig:General, but as an American cit
izen of an American commander, who,
surrounded by dangers and difficulties,
has never for a moment quailed or fal,
tered, but with a calm and steady spirit,
has dared and overcome them all, by a
genius and a skill equal to any emergen
cy, and by a resolute will. which no cir
cumstances, however adverse, can sub
due or divert from its purpose."
INFORMATION WANTED.—lnformation
is wanted of John Farrar, who served
milk in Manayunk two years ago. His
wife desires to know if he is still living.
Newspapers will confer a favor on a poor
afflicted woman by copying this notice,
as thus she hopes some person may be
able to relieve her anxiety. Maria Far

INTERESTING INCIDENTS OF
THE BATTLE AT BUENA VISTA
The " Matamoras Flag" contains a
full account of the Battle of Buena Vista,
most of the incidents of which we have
already published from New Orleans
papers. The following, however, is part
ly new, and very interesting:
On the .23d at early dawn, the battle
was renewed with great fury. The chief
efforts of the enemy stunned to be direct
ed against the left wing, composed of
Gen. Wool's division, Gen. Lane being
in command of the Indiana brigade.—
The fight was most obstinate and saw.
guinary. Santa Anna, from his vastly
superior forces, was enabled to direct,
against this part of our army, three or
four men to one. They fought with de
termined bravery, and fully redeemed
their character from the aspersions here
tofore cast upon it. Being composed
chiefly of cavalry, they galloped up to
the very mouths of our guns, and cut
and lanced the gunners. Every man be
longing to O'Bryan's battery were either ,
killed or wounded. Capt. Bragg seeing
this, and fearing that his own guns might
be captured, prepared to take another
position. At this critical juncture when
a single false move might have proved
fatal to the whole army, Major Mans
field, of the Engineer department, spur
red to Gen. Tay.lor and informed him of
the contemplated change of position.—
" Cksback instantly," replied Gen. Tay
lor, a and tell him not to move an inch,
but give them grape and canister." The
order was obeyed by the gallant Bragg
as promptly as it was given, and his bat
tery instantly vomited forth the most
awful destruction, the guns being char
ged with musket balls and every species
of death-dealing missiles.
While Bragg was slaying them right,
left, and centre, General Taylor quietly
' rode up behind him without being obser
ved, and in an undertone of voice said,
" a little more Grape, Captain Bragg !"
Those few words so completely inspired
him and his men, that they fired with
re-doubled vigor and the result shows
the effect of "a little more grape."
We should have stated that den Wool
had been manoeuvring to draw the Mex
icans within reach of our artillery. He
made a feint of attacking them in force,
and suddenly retreating, decoyed them
within range of our light batteries. His
force opened to the right and left, and
the havoc was tremendous. Six thou
sand cavalry charged Bragg's battery,
when within two hundred yards, every
gun opened upon them, cutting a lane
through their entire column thirty feet
broad. A second round halted them for
a moment but the third proved so des
tructive that they fled in the greatest
confusion.
The fighting continued for some time
after this, but the repulse of this charge
upon the battery, contributed, more than
anything else, to the victory. The bat
tle lasted eight long hours, without the
slightest intermission. he Mexicans
fought with all the fury of despair, and
left no means untried to carry the day.
It is thought by many that if their gen
eral officers had headed them on the
field, the result would have been differ
ent ; but these valorous gentlemen, who
vaunt so loudly when out of harm's way,
took especial care to place their bodies
' beyond the reach of the bullets.
* * * * At the des
perate attack on O'Brynn's battery,when
the Indiana brigade wavered and totter
' tal all along the line, from the force of
overwhelming numbers, Major Dix, of
the paymaster's department, snatched a
flag staff from the hands of its carrier
and rushed to the front of the brigade
and exhorted the men to stand firm.—
IHis presence reanimated them, and they
redoubled their exertions. Col. Jeffer
son Davis, the brave, chivalrous, and ac
complished commander of the• Missis
sippi Rifles, was severely wounded,
whether on the first or second day of
the fight, is not known. They were
thrown forward, the first day, as skir
mishers, a most perilous duty, and suffer
ed severely, loosing 40 men in killed,
, and having 110 wounded—a loss, con
sidering the weakness of the regiment,
not over 400 in number,--almost unpar
alleled. The Lieutenant Colonel of this
regiment, from a Wound received at Mon
terey, is yet quivering on the verge of
' the grave, having been the first to,mount
the walls of the castellated fort, at that
battle; and now his chief in command
is struck down, and his life vibrates in
the same uncertain fate. Truly may it
be said of this regiment, it has perform
ed its duty well.
Thousands of the Mexicans, after their
defeat, fled to the mountains, and after
the lapse of a few days they presented
themselves to Gen. Taylor as prisoners
of war. He told them, in their own lan
guage to vamos, that he would have no
, thing to do with them.
_ _
Two thousand females, whO followed
the Mexican army, remained, like min
istering angels, to take care of the woun
ded. Gen. Taylor treated them with the
kindness due their sex, and the human
ity expected of an American.
'Blucher and Wellington like, Generals
Wool.and Taylor met after the retreat
commenced. Gen. W. rushed between
his extended arms and congratulated
him upon the favorable result of the
day's toil. Gen. Taylor playfully re
torted : " 0, it's impossible to whip us
when we all pull together !"
During the battle the 2d Kentucky
regiment of infantry became closely en
gaged with the enemy's " lancers."—
From the overwhelming number of the
lancers, the Colonel considering his reg
iment lost, and about to be cut to pieces,
dispatched his Adjutant to Gdh. Taylor,
to say to him that " his regiment was
completely surroutided '." that he "was
fighting hand to hand;" that "in all
probability he would be tetally annihi
lated," and to "ask Gen. Taylor what
he should do."
Gen. Taylor promptly replied to the
Adjutant, (whose countenance was the
perfect picture of despair) in the coolest
manner imaginable, saying, "go tell
your Colonel that he has got then► just
where he wants them, and now is the
time to give it them." Whereupon, the
Adjuta►it wheeled his horse, clapped his
spurs to hiin,dashed up to the little band,
and shouted at the top of his voice‘---
" boys, General Taylor says we've got
them just where we Want them, and
now's out time to give it thean'"rhe
intrepid Kentuckians caught the impulse
like electricity, raised a cheer, dnd With
their naked bayonets, in less tithe than
have been relating it, routed them coin ,
' pletely, and drove them from the field►
GENERAL TAYLOR,
Many inqttiries are made as to tile
early . history of General Taylor. The
subjoined answers from the Newark Ad
vertiser, will gratify many. While they
show that General Taylor, who achiev
ed the four great victories in one cam
paign, "worked" up from the white ep
aulette on the left shoulder, to the dou
ble epaulette of gold, and the yellow
feather—from the lowest to the highest
grade—he never looked for an act of
Congress to place him a step or two up
the ladder, or did political acts unmili
tary favor:
"He comes from an ancient Virginia
family, which emigrated from England,
with other friends of liberty, and settled
in the eastern part of Virginia, near two
centuries ago—a family which has since
been greatly distinguished in its vari
ous branches, and which included in its
connexions such names as James Madi
son, John Taylor, of Caroline, Judge .
Pendleton, General Hunt, &c. General
Taylor's father was one of the most
daring of those enterprising pioneers
who settled 'the dark and bloody ground'
which defines the Indian word Kentucky,
and many anecdotes are told of his prow
ess in desperate encounters with the sav
ages,
" He became, also, a man of eminence
in civil life, and was a member of the
Electoral Colleges which voted for Jef
ferson, Madison, Monroe and Clay. He
died on his estate near Lexington, in
1826, leaving four sons, of whom Old
Zack' is the third, and, we believe, one
or two daughters. The eldest son, Ge
neral James Taylor, who was a Quar
ter Master General in the army during
the war of 1812, now resides at New
port, (Ky.) at the advanced age of 80
years.
"His more distinguished brother Was
born in Kentucky, two' years before Its
admission into the Union, and is now,
therefore 56 years of age. Having a
stout, vigorous frame, he was early dis
tinguished for feats of manly character,
and many amusing anecdotes arc told of
his achievements in the sports of boy
hood. The same foresight, firmness and
decision which have since so attracted
public admiration, are said to have cha
racterized his whole course through all
the shifting circumstances of life. Soon
after the affair of the Chesapeake and
Leopard, previous to the war of 1812,
lie, being then 18 years of age, received
from Mr. Jefferson, in 1808, the appoint
ment of Lieutenant in the Seventh In
fantry, and commenced that military
career which has now been crowned
with imperishable fame.
"1-lis strict observance of duty, and
distinguished merit as a disciplinarian,
soon commended him for promotion,
and at the opening of the war of 1812,
we find him a Captain in his regiment.
Having been entrusted with the com
mand of Fort Harrison, on the Wabash,
with a garrison of fifty men, he greatly
distinguished himself in diet year, by
his successful defence of it, against a
formidable attack by a large body of In
dians, and was rewarded by the Presi
dent with the brevet rank of Major.—
Hie well known skill in Indian warfare,
acquired in his brilliant career in the
Northwest Territory, secured for him
the command of the First Brigade of
the Army of the South, and it was at
the head of that division that ho won
the bloody battle of Lake Okee-Chobee,
during the Florida campaign of 1838,
and for which achievement he was bre
vetted Brigadier General. After four
or five years arduous service in the
swamps and hammocks of Florida, he
was assigned to the command of the
first department of the Army at Fort
Jessup, where the order to Texas and
the Rio Grande found him.
By his marriage with a lady of Ma
ryland, Gen. Taylor has one son and
two daughters, one of whom is married
to Col. Davis, of the Mississippi regi
ment, who was severely wounded at
Buena Vista. But to pursue his mili
tary career further in the midst of the
glowing enthusiasm of the country over
his brilliant achievements in Mexico,
would be idle."

LAWYERS vs. IRON-MASTERS.
In nothing does the Locofoco press
delight more than in raising a clamor
about distinctions of classes. At one
time their Whole out-cry is against
LAWYERS, so fierce and loud that the
poor lawyers can hardly raise their heads
or think of getting all office ; and are at
last forced to patiently submit to their
fate and quietly sink down to political
obscurity. But now, tiles, the locofoco
party itself happens tb be struggling'
with the dead weight of ti Lawyer at its
back, and it must therefore raise its I
out-cry against some other class. IRON
MASTERS—insoIent and overbearing
Iron-Masters—are now the obj ects of
the greatest odium with the oeofoco
press. The aristocratic and haughty ,
Lawyers, who have all the law in the
country under their hats, and won't give
a poor man the smallest particle With , .
ouf he first graciously hands over a $V
or an SX, are now plain, common and
Vulgar working-men, in the estimation
Of the locofoco press, compared with the
lordly Iron-Masters !! I
Well we are ready to take issue with
the locofoco press on this question of
Lawyers vs. Iron-Masters, and to con
tend With all our might that IrotPKlew=
ters end Verifiers are not a bit Worse than
Lawyers ! Sonic of our best friends in
the world ; to be sure are Lawyers ; and
considering that they are at best only
" necessary Oils," there ttre no men we
so highly regard or Value. But in this
political campaign we think it would be
fatally dangerous to the interests of the
State to elect it L./70 7 1 7 E1i as our nest
Governor ! We may think otherwise
three years hence, but Oath We say with
all our might—" Down With thd Lawyer
Candidate!" FRANCIS R. SlltiNk is a
LAWYER, and bow has he used his
greatest client, and almost the only one
he ever had, Pennsylvania? He has
played the Lawyer to our good old Com•
monwealth, in the cause of sundry Clerk•
ships and other profitable offices under
fat annual retaining fees, of from $l2OO
to $3OOO, for the last THIRTY YEARS,
until lie has probably plucked the old
goose to the tune of little less than ONE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!
Here is a LAWYER for you, who has
lived upon and grown rich front one client
for the last thirty years !
And how has this Lai managed
the interests of his great t, Penn
sylvania'! The Lawyers of other States
have outwitted him !
He has prostrated Pennsylvania's
pride and power at the feet of the South.
"Dressed in a little brief authority," i
he has attempted to play the petty
tyrant. He has crushed the spirit of
enterprise—its HAS SET HIMSELF AGAINST
TIIE INTERESTS OF TILE PEOPLE—he has
treated their petitions with contempt.—
Such a Lawyer is unfit to be the ruler
over a free people.
In opposition to this Lawyer candidate
we have General JAMES IRVIN, the
FARMER of Centre county—the One
Term and Tariff eandidate—the friend
of the People, and the advocate of Home
Industry against British Workshops!—
Farmers and working-men of Pennsyl
vania, which do you choose I—Carlisle

giment, who was so severely wounded
at the battle of Buena Vista, is married
