Tess that we indulge in gloomy apprehensions OF
the result, and the more, because OF the charac-

in La Patria, the Spanish paper at New Orleans,
we know that Santa Anna had with him so to 90
pieces of artillery, and that IL more pieces were
to be seut by the Tula pass
We have seen letters of late date from SaGl-
10, from regular officer, which says: "Much
OF the volunteer force under Gen. Taylor is
complete mob, disobedient. and undisciplined''-
And another account says: Taylor is more in
despair at his own command than from the force
OF the enemy" The orders of the War Depart
ment forbid the publication of these letters, or we
could quote from them more freely
Now such force may be admirable in an en-
renched defence but on retreat, a wretched
protection.

TAYLOR's Loss AT BUENA VISTA.

Gen. Taylor in his official dispatches gave
his loss, of killed and wounded, in the battle
ofthe 22d and 23d except one Kentucky com
pany. The National Intellgencer publishes
letter stating the loss of this company,as being
one halfor more of the whole company, 1t
was probably so cut up as to leave no one
whose duty it was to make return TO the
commander-in-chief This swels the number
of killed and wounded in this battle TO up
wards of 800.
This company had 90 killed, 26 privates
wounded and also officers.
The Kentuukians suffered severely. They
doubtless fought the best Of any of the troops,
and consequently bled the most freely. They
lost several brave officers as well IA many
brave men. Doubtless two.thirds ofthe whole
from Kentucky we're gallant wings and voted
for Clay and against annexation and the con-

as freely as others-n HHle mare freely than the
