The Louisville Journal says that at the
great meeting in New Orleans, on the
Both ult., in honor Of the victory Al Bue-
na Yista, one Of the speakers was the
Hon. Caleb Cushing. colonel Of the Mas
sachusetts regiment. Cushing. IN the
course of his speech, called over the
names of the prominent officers killed IN
the battle; emitting that Of the gGHant
Clay. The moment he finished his enu-
meration. some one shouted "Lieut. Col.
HENRY CLAY, Jr.f" For several minutes
the house rang with applause. Gushing
keenly felt the rebuke, and, when at last
he was able 10 resume his speech. he
apolceised for not having mentioned The
name Of Clay. said that the omission was
the result OF forgetfulness. and protested
that no man IN The nation had a higher
admiration Of the distinguished father Of
Col. Clay than himself.

that a public speaker, In enumersting the
names Of the patriots who fell al Buena
