LOUISIANA-NEWS, POLITICS, &c.
= The news by the Romer arrived in this city one
key in advance of the mall and was used, by the
commercial house here, that got up the express,
throughout Saturday, but it will be perceived that
very little was done, and the Cotton sold brought
satisfactory prices. Our Legislature has been long
time in session, bat has transacted but little business
it becomes daily more apparent that New Con-
stituton is imperfect in almost all its particulars, the
State has deprived itself of privileges almost
airy for ITS existence und the pea of doing away
with monopolies. Wings and Democrats are alike
becoming dissatisfied. The expectations of en-
lightened policy the part of our new Governor
are becoming daily dissatisfied; in the few appoint
ments he has madethe strctest party lines have been
drawn, and it is expect ted that shall be ruled with
the most severe rod o. Loco-F ocoism. Grema John
son in private life, is most amiabIe excellent man
but his very goodness of heart put him under the
control of the designing and selfish members of his
party. The feeling here Is general that Polk has
broken down, and that his administration is done.

THE pAILY UNION

there being swamp ON either hand. Gen. Taylor
Immediately ordered charge IN the teeth al the en-
my's destructive fire, and the troops promptly re-
sponded, and carried the enemy's guns at the point
Of the bayonet.
So sudden and impetuous was the attack, and so
successful, that Arisa had not time TO save his pa
pers, which, with all his correspondence, fell into
the hands of Gen. Taylor.
The action lasted one hour and half, in which
time 600 Mexicans were either killed or wounded,
and the Americans took 800 prisoners, and eight
pieces OF artillery. The American loss In action
was but sixty-two killed and wounded.
Among the killed were Col. Mcintosh, Lieut..
Cochran, Col. Brown, 10y the bursting OF shell, }
Lieut. Eng, and one or two others, whose names are
not given. Col. Payne, Lieuts. Gates, Burbank,
HoOe, Luther, and others were wounded.
We regret to say that Major Ringgold, who was
so severely wounded in the action Of the 9th, died
on the 10Th lnst and was buried the next day with
the honors Of war
The total loss of the Mexicans in the two actions
Of the 9Th and 9th was a, least 200. The Mexican
force amounted to at least six thousand men, while
that of the Americans on the ground did not exceed
/ 900 men.
An exchange Of prisoners took place between the
two armies subsequent TO the action, by which
Captains Thornton and Hardee, and Lieut.. Kane,
have been returned 10 the army. Lieut.. Deas was
not demanded, and still remains prisoner. Among
the prisoners taken by Gen. Taylor, was General
Vega. For him two American officers were offered
in exchange, but it was declined TO give him up,
save in exchange for an American officer Of equal
rank, whenever one should be taken.
Gen. Vega and two Mexican Lieutenants were
sent over by General Taylor on the Col Harvey as
prisoners Of war. Gen. Vega was allowed to be ae-
by one Of his aids, Northumberland,
as a friend.
