MEN, WE MUST TAKE THAT BATrLRy!'
These were the brief words Of Capt MAY TO
his soldiers when he made his brilliant charge
at the Battle Resaca de la Palma on the 9th
Of May. That Of the Sth is called the Battle
of Palo Alto" and il was in this Major RING
GOLD was killed The Washington Union
says it has seen letter from the Point, Qsabel,)
written on the 18th Of May, which furnishes
a few additional interesting items Of news con-
nected with Gen TAYLoR's action of the 10th.
With the permission of the gentleman to whom
ii was addressed, we here present our readers
with condensed synopsis Of its contents:
.'Capt. MAYS squadron, ordered by the
General at all risk to silence the battery threat
ening 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 intrepidiiy OF the
squadron engaged, whose leader, (MAr,) by
the-by, cleared the enemy's breast-work ten
yards in advance of his troop. He was noun
ted ON his iavorie old charger, Tom, (woun-
ded in this affair." known TO many officers Of
the army as having borne him successfully
through numerous fights and skirmishes 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 Semi
noles, on which occasion it will be recollected
that Capt Chen Lieut) MAY knocked down
and secured the chief in the act Of raising his
rifle TO shoot him.
seen. VEGA, who in this affair became
prisoner TO Capt MAY, is said TO be one of the
brayest and most accomplished officers Of the
Mexican army"
Well did this young and ardent officer carry
out the laconic order of Gen. TAYLOR, 10
which he made the reply SO Characteristic of
the soldier. Sir" said the general, ssyou
must take that battery" ssMen," said the
captain IN reply, 1--WE must take that battery.

when ordered frtln Fort McHeny 70 join the
Army in Texas, the experienced Surgeon q
this post strongly insisted upon his physical
inability to 60 through with the campaign
But he strengthened himself for duty, and, a.
far as known here, he was never, for an hour,
unfit for service since he left the Fort. He
fell in the fierce battle If the 6th ult, the Same
ball killing his horse under him, and wounded
him mortally.
The deceased was an accomplished gentle
man, beloved by his friends. and truly respec-
ted by all who knew him. He was devo.
ted TO his profession, and justly appreciated
the high responsibilities Of an officer in COM
mand He rigidly enforced discipline, At al
times, and In all things; and yet, probably, no
officer had more entirely the respect, the con-
fidence, and the afieciionate regard OF all his
officers and men, than the gallant soldier Of
whom this brief sketch is given.
The deceased, in letter to his immediate
friends, written just as the Army was about %
march for Camp Isabel, (but which letter was
received only since the sad intelligence Of his
falD spoke of the extreme probability OF q Sc
rious rencontre with the enemy, and express
ed sure confidence in the triumph Of our gall
liant little Army But with characteristic cool
ness he also adverted To the great probability
Of his own fall in battle and, in anticipation
of that event, he made brief will, which was
enclosed IN that letter.
His patriotic words to the friendly officer
who came to his assistance ought not to be
forgotten: "Don't stay with me: you have
work TO do: 60 ahead.o
Such was the late Major RlSeooLr; and
many such brave and gallant men make our

FROM THE N. y. TRIBUNE.
LOVES ENDEAvOR--A SONG.
BY C. d. STUART

BY C. d. STUART.
Love is like the Summer sunlight
Over field and over flower,
Nursing out of hardest bosoms
Gentle tokens of its power
But it will not live unanswered,
And forsaken is in pain,
And oh, vain is Loves endeavorl
That brings Love not back again!
And the kingly crown is heavy,
And the gold is only pelf,
II there Is no reed unbroken
Where the heart may lean itself;
Where the heart may lean unwounded
Like the rose that drinks the rain,
And oh, vain is Loves endeavor
That brings not Love back again.
As the sunshine on the river,
As the dew upon the hill,
So the heart by Love is strengthened,
And can bear the keenest i'll;
But the shadows chill the river
When the dew forgets the plain,
And oh, vain is Loves endeavor
That brings Love not back again

CAPTAIN MAY.

This gallant officer has imlnorialized HIM
self. A friend who has watched his eques-
TRAN movements at the camp describes him a.
most singular being. With a beard extend
ing 10 his breast, and hair to his hip bone,
which, as he cuts through the wind on HE
charger, streams out in all directions, he pre-
SCENTS most imposing appearance His gait
on foot is awkard, and that of his horse Gan
immense one) is the rack Of Canadian pony.
We are glad to quote the annexed paragraph
from last evenings Courier :--"Weh have seen
letter from this gallant officer TO his brother,
in this city, dated Point Isabel, May H. 1t
was received last Sunday by the Col. HARVEY:
The Captain tells his brother tina, the squad
ron, at the head Of which he charged the enc
my's battery, contained 81 men; and Of these
he lost one officer and 10 privates killed, and
Is wounded-28 horses killed, and 10 woun-
ded--that is nearly one third Of his men, and
almost half of his horses hors du combat. The
Captain himself was not touched, which for
tunate circumstance was owing TO his being
about ten yards in advance Of his squadron in
the charge.
! The Captain was born in the city OF WASH
ton, where his father, DR.. MAY, who died q
few years ago, was highly respected by his
tellow-citizens OF all classes he left SIX or sew
en- sons all fine looking men, not one of them
under six feet in height. The Captain, who
has so highly distinguished himself in the late
operations on the Rio Grande, some years ago,
when quite youth, attracted the notice Of
Gen. JACKSON by his fine horsemanship, and
the old chief appointed him a cornet in ono
of the regiments Of Dragons, then organising.
The General was a good judge Of men, and in
the instance Of young MAY his presentiment
has bsen fully veried."-.w Q. I'ppic, May

WINE.

Though poets sing of the cup divine,
Enchanting heart and soul;
Though brightly CLOVIS the mellow wine,
In pleasures flowing bowl;
Though on its face the bubbles glide,
And fragrant odors yield:
Yet deep beneath The sparkling tide,
A demon lies concealed
Whose breath infects the tempting grape,
Though bright its juice may glow;
And he, who drinks, viii ne'er escape,
The spell that turks below.
Then cast the beaker from thy lip,
Its fatal witch'ry shun;
Nor from the trimming goblet sip,
Whilst life Its course may run.

TIME.
There is a silent river,
The rolling river Tine,
In summers rosy bushes,
In hoary winters rime
1t fioweth, fioweth, floweth,
In whatsoever cline.
And well trimm'd barks are sailing
Upon its silent tide:
With golden riches laden
The little vessels glide;
And Faith, and Love and Action
And Hope are side by side.
And oh, host of others
Compose the little feet
Now soon the waves are heaving,
Now wide the waters beat;
Gray mists steal DER the waters.
The mournful mists of Fate,
The polar-star grows DINNER;
The scatter'd vessels driven;
All wide in disappointment
Unto the waves are given,
And faith alone remaineth
To bear the soul to Heaven.
