We give below the General Orders OF
more properly speaking, address Of General
Taylor to his army after the battle Of Buenn
Vista. Ii will be seen that all his soldiers
do not receive praise for their conduct in the
battle, and those who scsmpered from the
field when the bullets whistled about their
ears, must feel mortified indeed at the pol
troonery they exhibited:

l. The Commanding General has the
grateful task Of congra,uIating the troops
upon the brilliant success which attended
their arms in the conflict of the I'D and 23d.
Confident in the immense superiority Of mum.
bers, and stimulated by the presence OF q
distinguished leader. the Mexican troops
were yet repulsed in every effort to force
our lines, and finally withdrew with immense
loss from the field.
g The General would express his obliga.
tions to the officers and men engaged, Tor
the cordial support which they rendered
through hout the action. 1t will be his high
est pride to bring to the notice Of the gov
eminent the conspicuous gallantry Of partic
ular officers and corps, whose unwavering
stendiness more than once saved the fortunes
Of the day. lie would also express his high
satisfaction with the conduct of the small
command left to hold Saltillo. Though not
so seriously engaged as their des, their
services were very important and efficiently
rendered. Whilst bestowIng this just tri
butte to the good conduct of the troops, the
General deeply regrets TO say that there
were not few exceptions. He trusts that

conflict going on there. He was confidently

The Picayune thinks there is nothing i'm
probable in this rumor. Santa Anna would
be glad for any pretext for retreating, and his
presence in the capital would bring matters
to an immediate crisis.
Mr.. Kendall writes 10 the Picayune that
the city might have been taken by assault

fight at the river Raisin, rs fell on this fatal

Clay had but just left for his house.
A letter from Lexington says. 4 never

the brilliant victory which covered our arms
with new glory. The Court Immc cdiotely nd-

Rh0DE.ISLANDER;
NEWPORT:
Thursday Morning, April Is, 1Sl7.

The ELEcTIoN.-We present our rea-
ders, to day, with full and accurate re-
turns of the votes cast in this State, at
the late election for General Officers and
for Representatives to the Both Congress,
from the Eastern and Western Dist riots.
The majority for the Hon. ELISHA HAIR
RIs, the Law and Order candidate for
Governor, over BALLoU, L. +. is 1882;
and over BALLoU and all others, ll76.
Mr.. LAwToN's majority, will prove,
we think, when the returns are counted,
to be nearly, or quite equal to that Of
Governor Harris and the majorities for
Secretary of State, Attorney General and
General Treasurer, are all Of the same
Overwhelming and unprecedented char
acter. Considering the extreme apathy
and inertness, which prevailed in the
State, almost Immediately previous to
the election, and what we could not but
consider as the culpable remissness and
inattention of our Law and Order friends
in the management OF the canvass in
nearly every town and county, the above
result is indeed most gratifying. If any
thing can demonstrate the abiding at
tachment Of the people of Rhode Island
to the sound conservative principles,
which are the surest safeguard of our old
and cherished privileges, it is success so
decided in an election carried forward
under circumstances SO unpromising.
In the Eastern Congressional District,
the Hon. RoBERr B. CRANsToN, the
regularly nominated candidate Of the
Law and Order party, obtained majori-
|ty in the District over FENNER BRowN
L. +. ofS7O. Mr.. Cranston's majority
lover Brown and all others was at first
computed at 35, but by subsequent
correction OF the return of the 9th ward
in the city of Providence, was reduced
somewhat below that number. We have
given the table published in the Provi-
dence Journal of Monday thorough re-
vision, and after correcting the return
from this town from memoranda in the
Town Clerks Office, and adding the
scattering vote said to have been given
in the fourth district ofthe town of Smith
field, we make Mr.. Cranston's majority
over allie. In n vote so very close
as this, where some few errata are al
most inevitable, it is Of course impossi-
BILE to arrive at absolute certainty OF the
result, until the votes are counted by the
competent authority. But so far as very
careful inquiry and much direct informa-
ton as to the exact returns Of most Of
the towns in the District will authorize
us to speak, we feel entire confidence,
that Mr.. Cranston is elected by the ma
jority before mentioned.
We had prepared some remarks on the
unexpectedly close result in the Eastern
Congressional District and particularly
as to the remarkable vote in the town Of
Warren--but the great pressure Of adj
vertisements on us this week compcls Us
TO defer them to our next

Grasper was soverpowered. He could
hardly believe that he heard aright.-
This was the man who had been driven
by his graspng spirit into bankruptcy,
and thereby utterly ruined. The thought,
again flashed through his mind and sen,
the blood burning to his face. Pride for
a momen tempted him TO refuse the offer
ed kindness, but there was too much at
stake-he could not do it. While the
act Of Layton heaped Goals Of fire upon
his head, he had no alternative but to sub
nit to thing only less painful than utter
uin. From ruin he was saved, but he
was an altered and an humbled man. -
Many times since have unfortunate debt
