Mr. Hx-President Tyler.

"Mr Tyler, for example, states, that in proposing
or asserting to the annexation Of Texas he was not

es,cd in Texas lands Or Texas bonds. Why, does he
not know that at least two members Of his Cahinei-
Secretaries Upshuf and Gmer--were very large laud
holders in Texas and that they strongly and

A Happy Meeting.

Some months ago long account was published
IN many OF the papers, OF young man who was y.

either lost stolen from his parents nearly 80 years
ago, when he was only or years of age--whose
only recollection Of the matter was, that he was
taken from a large and lhickly settled plase, m

whIther-thaI after slrolling through the country
some years with company Of vagrani Indians or

New England village, lin Grafton, Mass where
he was married about 10 years ago, aud has since

been known by the name of Abraham Vesia.
A correspondent of the Albany Evening Journal
says: That the above account fell into the hands
OF an aged couple in the town oil Ontario, Wayne
county, n. Y. who, having los, two children about
the period mentioned, felt peculiar neres, IN this

The Heroes of Monterey.

The New Orleans Delta gives the following ac-
count of the appearance Of the First Tennessee
Regiment now, conlrased with its splendid and
gallant array when it departed for the war year
ago:
Gust one year ago there marched through our
streets as noble and splendid body OF men as ever
went forth to battle They we're about nine hun
dred strong The men were in the vgor OF youth
rul manhood, and as, in perfect order aud with mil
ilary precision they paraded through our city, the
admiration of our people broke forth in loud ap-
plause Of the gallant array. This was the first
Tennessee regiment, under the heroic veteran Col
Campbell They left our city, fresh from their own
happy homes in the mountains aud by the river
sides of heahlu Tennessee, full Of hope, ambition
and patriotism they departed IN cheerful spirits,
and with impatient atdor for the scene OF war.
Arrived in the hostile country, they we're soon
involved in all the sufTeiings, depriyatons, ennu,
and sickness incident to camp life. Disease made
fearful havoc in their ranks. Scores returned to
their homes broken down in health and spirits, ere
they had seen hostile face When the dullness
and misery Of camp life we're changed into the stir
aud excitement of the march and the battlefield
this regiment was the foremost in the storm and the
first in the havoc and destruction which the enemy
poured into our ranks in the bloody charge al Mon
tcrey. One-third of them lay gaspiug in death, or
under severe wounds, on the plains. But those
who were ei we're undismsycd and nobly sustain.
ed their ground amid the iron tempest hurled upon
them from the enemy covered works. They came
not to be conquered; die they might. and would II
il were the alternative TO a surrender, but 10 give

two thousand miles to conquer, meyer entered their
minds or hearts Monterey yielded to the lrressti.
