Tlac Gallant lincoln.

When the tidings Of the bloody ba,-
tic Of Buena Vista reached US, it i'll
be remembered that we paid feeble
tribute to the memory of the youthful,
but brave and distinguished Lincoln.
We now find an interesting article re-.
lating to him, in the Boston Evening
Transcript, extracts from which we
cannot deny ourselves the melancholy
pleasure of making here. II seems
that Captain Lincoln was only 80
years of age, at his fall. and that, be-
sides doting fathor and mother, and
devoted sister, he left behind him a
wife and child, to weep for his loss and
to mourn for the sad chances Of battle
We have before us,says the Transcript,
beautifully written and touching let
ter on the death of Captain Lincoln,
written to his father, by brother
companion in arms-a brave young
officer, son-in-law Of gentleman OF
Boston, who has won for himself
many Iaurels in the late battle. The
letter particularly mentions what the
writer saw of Captain Lincoln the last
two days of his life, and by permits
sion, we transcribe such passages as
may be interesting to the public. in
addition TO what they already know OF
that fearful battle, in which blood was
poured out like water, and in which the
hopes of so many families were laid
low orever-N. Y. Express.
"You know that the battle of Buena
Vista began on the 22d of February,
and that after a few hours Of fighting
between our rifemen and the Mexi
can light infantry, in the mountains,
and an occasional cannonade on the
part of the enemy in our front, il
ceased for that day between sunset and
dark. During all that time, Captain
Lincoln was actively engaged in post
ing our troops and looking out for the
best ground for them to occupy, pre-
pairing for the heavy conflict of the
coming day. The company Of lst
dragons which command, being one
OF the two which usually compose
General WOODS personal escort, was
encamped near him, and consequently
near Captain Lincoln, who was bis As
sistant Adjutant General. During the
evening Captain Lincoln came TO see
me at my campfire; be told me Of the
arrangements he had made OF The
forces, of reinforcements he had re-
commended the General to send to our
troops which had just been engaged,
Of our prospects for the next day, and
the contest, he felt sure, would termin-
ate in our favor. And then he spoke
of home-our dear New Englsnd-of
the anxiety with which the hearts we
loved there would beat, could they
witness our situation. He spoke OF
you all-of his young wife-snd said,

old Rough and Ready'S Uniform.
An army correspondent Of the Utica
Gazette thus describes Gen. Taylor's
uniform, the day before the battle of
Buena Vista:
The old General has appeared as
cool during the day as if nothing of
any moment was transporting. His
dress is Of faded mixed cloth, with par
falcons rGiher short, an old wool hat,
and an oyercoat also mixed, and much
the worse for wear. In fact palmer
looking man you cannot expect to see
returning from days work in corn
field in old Oneida. His staff Of
young officers presented striking con-
trast.

0TGen. Taylor, in the year ls4I,
purchased, il is said, plantation, stock,
&c., near Rodney, in Mississippi, for
which he paid, in cash, ninety five
thousand dollars. An exchange pa
per learns from Hon. w. M. Gwin, Of
New Orleans, personal friend of
General Taylor, that some miscreant
opened beach in the levce, about two
miles above the plantation named a.

RFTho Pittsburgh journal, of the
'27th ut., contains the following ac-
count of terrible affair which is said
to have happened on the night of the

wife, arising out of his supposed nti-
macy, with "A Miss Staley. person

turned her out of the house. On be-
ing informed Of this conduct, some oil
his neighbors determined to take a
vengeance on him, by giving him a
coat Of tar and feathers. Accordingly
a company of fifteen persons proceed
ed TO his house, on the night of the
2lst. Burr, however, had received
warning Of their approach and wa
prepared to rccaive them. He barrl-
caded his house, and armed himself
and Miss Staley's father with axe:
guns aud pistols. When the assail-
ants arrived regular battle common

persons were seriously, and four NOR.

James Craig was cut through the bach

Burr had the scalp torn from his skull

Craig, Palm, Flick, and Staley would

bout 3, or perhaps 4, clock in the af-
ternoon. The enemy, who had sue

siton, made fierce charge upon our
column, and fought with desperation
that seemed, for time, to ensure sue
cess to their arms. The struggle last

Taylor was silent spectator, his
countenance exhibiting the most anx-

approached him, and implored him to
retire. He needed them not. His
thoughts were intent upon victory or
defeat. He knew not. at this moment,
what the result would be. He felt
that that engagement was TO decide his
fate. He had given all his orders and
selected his position. If the day went
against him, he was irretrievably lost \;
if for him, he could rejoice, in common
with his countrymen, in the triumph

Such seemed to be his thoughts

the enemy give way and retreat in the
utmost confusion, he gave free vent to
his pent up feelings. His right leg
was quickly iisengaged from the pom

folded over his breast, relaxed their
hold--his feet fairly danced in the
stirrups-and his whole body was in

exciting and intense interest. His
face was suffused with tears. The day

little army saved from the disgrace of

from weeping for JOY at what had

hero live TO enjoy the honors Of his nu.
merous brilliant victories, and many
other honors that grateful country
will, ere long, bestow upon him.
