omen, We MUST TAKE THAT BATTERY !''--
These were the briefwo of Capt. MAY to his
soldiers when he made his brilliant charge at
the "Battle Resaca de la Palma" on the 9Th
inst The Washington Union says it has seen
letter from the Point CIsabel,) written on the
18th inst, which furnishes few additional in
teresting items of news connected with Gen.
Taylor's action of the 10th. With the per-
mission of the gentleman to whom it was ad-
dressed, we here present our readers with con-
densed synopsis of its contents:
"Capt. Mays squadron, ordered by the Cen
eral at all risk to silence the battery threaten
ing to snatch the victory from US, consisted of
some seventy Dragons. Of these, in the
charge, one officer and nine men were killed.
and ten were wounded twenty-eight of their
horses were also killed, and eleven were woun-
ded. The loss sustained in this gallant affair
is alone proof Of the daring ntrepidty of the
squadron engaged, whose leader, (May,) by
the-by, cleared the enemy's breast-work ten
yards in advance Of his troop. He was mount
ed on his favorite old charger, Tom, (wounded
in this affair." known to many officers of the
army as having borne him successfully
through numerous fights and skrmishes in the
Florida campaign. This, believe, was the
horse on which he led the charge on the camp
of Phillip, the head chief of the Seminoles, on
which occasion it will be recolected that Cap
tain then Lieut. May knocked down and Sc
cured the chief in the act of raising his rife
to shoot him.
"Gen.Vega, who in this affair became a pris-
oner to Capt. May, is said to be one of the
bravest and most accomplished officers of the
Mexican army"
Well did thus young and ardent officer carry
out the laconlc order of Gen. Taylor, TO which
he made the reply so characteristic of the SOL
der. "Sir," said the general, ''you must take
that battery" "Men," said the captain in
reply, 1--WE must take that battery! Follow!''

''If this iniquitous project shall succeed then

sometimes alleged, yet by persons,wc believe,
but very little informed in regard to their eff
feet How they can hurt farmers is a wonder,
and we should like to know; but how they
benefit the farmer, in many ways, is easily
shown. Perhaps these directors TO Rail Roads
on account Of the imaginary real injury
they may have had upon farmers living in the
immediate vicinity of the large markets, have
heard the sad stories of these mon, who, by
their proximity to market have monopolizcd it,
and received large profits upon their produc-
tons. Rail Raods, we confess bring into COM
petition with the these farmers, the farmer
one and two hundred miles distant. We see
no injury To farmers in this, but ON the
trnry, it all tends to equality, and also to equal
ize the value Of the soil-making that more
distant, and reached by a Rail Road, of a near
er value to that located in the vicinity of the
market. This is the last thing the farmer in
the country has to complain of,and we reckon
that those who understand the matter do not
complain very loudly.
a week or two since there large guam
tity of fat oxen at the Brighton market, and
they sold for about 81 per hundred, These
cattle were not driven there, but were carried
from Albany upon the Western Rail Road
They were fat when they started and fat when
they arrived. The shrinkagc and most Of the
expense of driving were saved to the owner,
and the cattle being in good condition sold for
a better price.
So it may be with fat cattle from this section,
when Rail Road shall be opened, and $40
$l5 and $50 be saved TO the seller upon each
yoke ofsuch cattle. The market for such is
the best in the winter, but those living in the
vicinity, & such as have access to it by R.Road,
reap the benefit oft. Our farmers now can
not get their cattle there in the winter, fat,
while others do.
We should like 20 see the ohjector to Rail
Roads figure out his case, and show how much
the farmers of NorthcrnVermontw will be likely
to lose upon their cattle trade by the opening
of Rail Road to Brighton or its vicinity.
Come on and let us see the figures.

ed TO be the true course TO secure ultimate
success, not only in an enterprise like this,
but in all enterprises worthy the attention of

ing diplomacy" to be "practised" by stch as

that somebody may have something to shoot
