day last, to adopt measures for the removal OF
the bodies of Col. Yell and his brave compatrio,s
who fell at Bucna Vista,,and to erect, at Little

their valor and patriotism. AT which, commit

purpose. This committee will be prepared with
subscription lists, and will call upon each of our
citizens, for his mite towards The performance OF
this grateful duty. We should remember that
when the intelligence roaclci Us that our rcg-
mcnt had failed to perform its duty-that many
had deserted their coors in the hour Of BATTLE our
Indignation and notification were incalculabc:
that we felt like flying to the battle field, and
there with lifo-bloo vindica,c the honor OF
our State. And as the tidrngs were heraIdrd, that
there were spirits on that field WHO upheld the
honor Of our State our admiration and feeling Of
gratitude were as unbDundrd. What less can we
do than to rear monument, as n.gratcful tribdt".
TO tho memory of those who yielded up their
lives, but saved the honor of our State!
The names Of priyo,cs Harmon Wynn ard
Dar~in Siewarl, are included among those to be
removed not that we desire 10 b; selfish in this

o. 1t is with blendd feelings of modification
and disgust, that we witness the course pursued
by our Little Rock contemporaries, in regard to
COL Rome and Capt. Pike. They are to blame
ior suffering themselves to be made the medium
OF such disgraceful quarreling. The actions of
those officers, the battle field, will speak loud
or than cords, and it is useless for the friends Of
either party, to attempt to create any particular
public sentiment. If Roane has sustained himself
We will know it, from Gen. WooI's report, the best
source; ard no letters rob him Of his meri-
ted fame. If he has not, all the letters writ
ten from the army, for effect, will not convince US
to the contrary.
If Pike behaved as good soldier, no
statements Of letter writers viii nvail to suIIy
his rcpuation, against the report Of the gallant
Col. May. The letter from member of the
Crawford company, published in the last Banner,
is the counterpart of one written to this place.
which we refused to publish, bccaus" we be lie, ed
that the sole object of the writer was to pull one
man. n nd 10 degrade another, and because his
statements would have no force, but expose him
to ridicuIc when set up against those Of the great
Hero Of Buena Vista. That writer says Capt
Pike was not in the ba tile Of Bucna Vista; and
Cen Tay or, in his report, says he 'cas there. Who
arc to believe, old Rough and Ready, or this
malignant scrbbIer?
Capt. Pike is no favori:e of ours we shall ever
cschcw his political doctrines. but fhe las by his
'cfiiccnt service in the army, rnerted fav
orabIc opinion Of him soldier, will not
withhold it,
he is a IFhig.

THE HERO OF CERRo GORDO.

1t is settled that Col. WM. S. IIARNEY is the
Hero Of Ccrro Gordo; and performed tho most
brilliant act of inlrepidsty, during the war: the
siorming of Cerro Gordo, is almost unparalleled
as a military achievement. a correspondent to
the n. O. Pcnyunc, writing from Janpn, says:
az possible, | intend obtaining full list of u II
tn" officers under Coz llurnoy who cook part in
the noted and successful stormiug of Cerro Gordo.
The name Of the hill should also be placed on
the colors of each regiment engaged. Words
cannot describe the strength Of the place, nor the
immense difficulty, TO say nothing OF the danger
attended upon s,orming it. 1t is said that Santa
Anna remarked, the evening before it was cap
tured, "If tie Yankees can storm this place thcv
can storm hell iiScit!' The 81 and 7th Infantry.
under Capt. Alexander and Lieut., Cot. PIymp-
tom, went side and side; the lst Artillery, under
Col. ChiIds, although stationed short distance
in the reserve, could no, be restrained
and held back, while many of tho Rifles even left
the position assigned them, and were "in at the
DEATH" il can be allowed such expression.
Not man who looks at the natural and artificial
obstacles these men had TO encounter, but mast
think they would deter and dismay the sloutcsl
hearts; yet every man under Cot. llarney pressed
onward, u if determined to be first al the breast
works. The history of war can hardly show n
parallel to the sIormng If Ccrro Gordo."
