noble daring shows the unshrinking hero
10 the hour of danger. In private life he
is warm aud noble friend, with heart
as kind and feeling, as it is bold in danger;
and many are the days that be and my.
self have spent together in the bond of
friendship-that are written in my heart
never 10 be forgotten.
The victory Of Buera Vista is mainly
attributed to him and the gallant few al.
tached to his park Of Flying Artillery.
Was it not for his "little more grape"
Gen. Taylor would have been disconft-
ed-he knew il; and 10 the strait he
evinced the unfinching herosm that even
the hosts Of his enemies could not shake
or quail. May he still be preserved by
that Almighty hand that succored our
country in "the days tha. tried mems
souls" He is warm and uuwavering
patriot as ever lived; aud his acts show
that his life is the counlry's, and his efforts
for her honor.-Deiapare Gazette.

Captain Bragg is North Carolinian, and
graduated at West Point, In 1887, and
was attached to the Cd U. S.aArtillery. I
met him and served with him in Florida,

ILATER FROM THE fARMY OF
GENERAL TAYLOR.
By The steamship New Orleans we have
later dates from the Rio Grande AID the
army of Gen. Taylor.
We have copy OF the Matamoras Flag
of The Cd inst. The individual found MUIR
dered below Reynosa, as before mentioned
by US, turns out to be private in Captain
Paul's company OF Massachusetts volun-
leers. a company of Massachusetts men,
under Capt. Walsh, escortins a train to
Camargo. passed the spot a few days
since, aud identified aud buried the body.
Capt. w. demanded Of some Mexicans
residing near The scene Of murder to pro-
duce the murderers or he would burn down
their ranches. The threat had The desired
effect, and three incorrigible scoundrels
were handed over 10 hiul-one of whom
was killed in endeavoring to make his es-
cape, and the other Two are imprisoned at
Reynosa. The clotaes of the murdered
man were upon the Mexican who was Kill
led.
From the Flag we learn that 1t. Col-
Abbott, with four companies of Massachu.
setts volunteers, escorling wagon Train
and number of artillery horses. took up
the line of march for CeraIvo Oh Satur-
day the 29th ul,. Col. Wright, with tho
remaining six companies, was to proceed
by boat 10 Camargo, thence TO Monterey,
as soon as transportation could be had.
The troops remaining at Malamoras at
ter the departure of the Massachusetts re-
giment will be three companies Of the Sd
dragons.
- We copy the following from the Flag:
Mmder.-A Mexican, Joseph Marie
Lara, carpenter by trade, who has ashop
near the lower end OF Commercial street,
was found about ten o'clock OIL Saturday
last, lying dead on tho floor of his house,
having been stabbed>in the breast. Il has
not yet been ascertained by whose hands
he Twas killed. Ills wife represents that
she left him in the house in conversation
with a volunteer, and when she returned
he was found as described. Crcumstan-
ces tend to a belief that she committed or
ips,ia ated the murder herself, and we un-
derstand that she has been imprisoned un-
iii after the matter can undergo investiga-
tion. ~ ~

The stoppage of the Plainfeid Bal.k, consequent
upon the repeal Of its charter by the Legislature Of
Nsw-Jeney. has caused very considerable sgta
ton and at least temporary loss IN City There
must have been macy thousands Of dollars Of It's
notes 10 circulation, which are understood to have
been issued from and were hitherto bought at the
counter Of The Sun, and these notes appear to
have been very generally in the hands Of needy per
sons In sums Of one to FIVE dollars each The man
ffeststions Of excitement around The Sun office
yesterday must have been anything but agreeable
70 the bankers or publishers, and we spprehend
that, whatever shall be the fate Of the Plainaeid
notes in circulation It will be long day before pa
per Of like description will ngsn be freely circu.
lated in our City.
Being entirely unspprsej Of the material facts
In the Gaze that these notes are not now re-
deemed anywhere, and arc selling Mt various and
ruinous SLAVES or rates Of discouut-we iorbear
al attempts to fix the blame in the premises which
must ultimately rest somerhere. Whether the
Legislature has acted hastily and unwaTantsbly
In repeating the Charter or not, sonetodY has re-
Ssived fall value for every dollar Of these notes now
in circulation or paralyzed in the hands OF innocent
holders, and that somebody or those somebodies #
there be more than one, ought 20 redeem them
dollar for Extraordinarily, 1.-The or they will BY
legal coercion, il they would rather not We cannot
doubt that they ultimately all be redeemed at or
near par, and that every ho.ierGhoud avoid saorfc
ing them ifpossible If these notes depreciate to
6fty or seventy FIVE per cent the managers can
easily buy them up for small share OF their pro-
ceeds, and promptly resume with vast profit from
the explosion ard brave display OF flying coors.
There must be something near their face FOR them

faithfully applied, Hold on
Bot IL Is high time that the Working Glass Of
our City should be shielded henceforih from expo

They have fully earned every dollar they receive
for their labor and it ought to be good and safe

ally those ssaed under our General Banking
Law, are secured by law and the securities for
these latter are not in the vaults Of the Banks Tor
out OF them according TO circumstances) but in the
vaults Of the State itself The stoppage Of one of
these Banks, 1T the worst, can only entail on the
holders Of its notes q loss Of five to ten per cent
Of their face, and very often Bank has been en-
ioined and yet its assets found sufficient to pay
