No one rejoices more heartily than ourselves
over the cheering intelligence from the army
We give all credit 10 Taylor and his noble COM
panicns. With this avowal, il will not be con-
sidcred improper in Us to correct The injustice
done 10 The Administration by the Wing press.
Many OF them charged The President with forcing
Taylor into perilous position, with the miscra-
BILE view of sacrificing him and his army for pc
litical considerations The thrilling news from
Buena Vista utterly dssipaes this ungenerous
and absurd insinuaiion.
But, says The Wing press, the official cores
pondence shows criminal neg ect and ineifclency
on the part Of the Administration. We shall
hereafter publish extracts from that correspond

The Administration We desire 10 cast blame
upon no one, but to ward off grossly unjust al
tacks upon The War Department. For the pre-
sent, we content ourselves with re-pubishing the
following article from The New York CONNER

neglect or unnecessary delay. Commemorate e.

requests OF Gen. Taylor, bnt these efforts were

THE GLORIOUS NEws From THE ARMY.

The fault-hnders arc balled, and in spite Of
the gloomy predictions OF The Wings. Gen. Tay-
lor has moi been cut of but has achieved vic
tory still more glorious and remarkable Than any
that the American army has won during the
Mexican campaign. Again, all the alarms
about the danger 10 our troops and forts along
The Rio Grande are now thrown 10 the winds,
and the whole nation, as the intelligence spreads
through The country, vii! send up shouts OF Joy

filled with excitement OF pleasure on the ar

tails, as we find them in all The papers lha, have
reached US. Nothing a, the present moment can
attract mole attention; indeed, our feelings have
been so excited, that we canno,turn 10 more sober
and dry subjects Of discussion Any analysis OF
the details is unnecessary; every one can best
make his own comments upon The result. Sui
fee ii 10 say that upon the testimony OF Santa
Anna himself and The Mexican lctler-writets, The
victory has been most decisive-ihe Mexican
army in imminent peril Of dissolution, and III
lery disheartened by the sufferinss OF thirst and
hunger, and more than all, by the proslralion OF

forth to them, as stimulus 10 acton.-t Cut up as
il is, and unprovded with The common necessa-
ries OF life, we cannot conceive how Santa Anna
is TO conduct it safely 10 San Luis. With
dreaded enemy in front, and famine and desert
in his rear, its situation is most desolae.l
We regard he battle of Buena Vista as almost
the lurnng point ofthe war. When its melancholy
