Taylor has often been heard to speak
of him as one on whom he could re-

7hp Frmvuiness nr the ToHcy Of
FL Paso.-A resident of the Valley
Paso in New Mexico, writes TO the
War Department. at Washington,
that the Valley is continuous or
chard and garden. The settlement
of FL Faso extends from the falls Of
the Rio Grande, on the north, to the
Preside, on the south-a distance
of y miles. This spacious valley IS
about midway between Santa Fe and
chihuahua, and is isolated from all
other Mexican settlements By the
mountains that rise on the east and
west, and close into the river on the
north and south. The breadth of
the valley is about 10 miles. The
falls of the river arc ten miles north
of the "Pia=a publca," or public
square, and afford sufficient water
power for grist and saw mills enough
to supply the entire settlement with
flour and lumber. The most impor.
tant production of the valley is the
grape, from which are annually man.
ulactured not less than goo, 600 Gal.

Holding tie highest rank on the

ceFt when too desperate for the
bravest TO iullil-and receiving 10
orders himself, he conducted the
Whole battle. His frenzied manner,
exciting appeals, andfearful daring,
infused new spirit into the troops,
and they charged after him, shout
ing like madmen. So perfectly be-
side himself with excitement, that
lie dashed up TO an officer WHO did
not lead on his men as he wished,
and opened his head with lis sword.
He was every where present, and
pushed the first line Of the enemy so
vigorously, that it at length gave
way. Burgoyne moving up his left
wing to cover his retreat, he hull-
ed three regiments with such terri
BILE ilnpetuosity upon it, that it also
broke and hed.-Wlile the British
officers were making desperate eff
forts in other parts of the field, to
stay the reverse tide Of battle, he
pressed on after Burgoyne-storm-
ing over the batteries, and clearing
every obstacle, till at length he for
ced him and the whole army back
into camp. Not satisfied with this,
he prepared 20 storm the camp also.
But once behind their entrench-
ment, the British rallied. and fought
with the fury of men struggling for
life. The grape shot and balls
swept every inch of the ground, and
it rained an iron tempest ON the
American ranks, but nothing could
resist their fiery valor. On, on they
swept in the track of their leader,
carrying every thing before them.
! The sun had now sunk in the west,
and the night was drawing its man
tie over the scene. Arnold, enrag-
ed at the obstinacy of the enemy,
and resolved to make one more dcS-
perate effort for a complete victory,
rallied few of his bravest troops
about him, and rousing them by his
enthusiastic appeals, led them to a
last charge on the camp itself. 'Y0u,'
said he to one, 'were with me Il,
Quebec, you in the wilderness,
and you on Champlain-Follow
me" His sword was seen glancing
like beam of light along their SER
ried array-the next moment he
galloped in font, and riding right
gallantly at their head through the
devouring fire, broke with CHATTER
into the very sally-port Of the enc
my, where horse and rider sunk to-
gether to the earth-the good steed
dead, and Arnold beneath him, with
his leg shattered to pieces, the same
leg that was broken at the storming
of Quebec. This ended the fight,
and the wounded hero was borne
pale and bleeding from the field Of
his fame, only to awaken to chagrin
and disappointment.-There is but
little doubt that when lie violated
his orders and galloped to the field,
he had made up his mind to bury
his sorrows and disappointment in a
bloody grave. Would that he had
succeeded, and saved himself from
the curse of his countrymen and the
scorn of the world
