 ABUSE OF GEN. TAYLOR.

The Boston Chronotype, print of theTribune
 school, has the following infamous sentiments "If there is in the United States heart worthy 1 of American liberty, it's impulse it TO JOIN THE MEXICANS, and huri down upon the bose, slarisa,
 msrcendry iaraders, who born in Republic. go to
 play the accuIsed game of the Ilessians, over the | tops of those Mexican volcanoes. H monh be sud
 aud tcof joy, but joy aererteiess, 10 hear Mdi the hordes uHfer SeoH and Iayior uere, EVERY MAN or THEM, SWEPT INTO TIIE NEXT WORLD. Whai 6u- | sness has aa inrading army tn Tnls' Were il the
 last word the Chronotype should utter and its
 editor with his wife and little ones were to suffer
 for it the magnanimous reribution of Christian war fare, as did the women and children at Vera Cruz
 it would brand Polk, Scott Taylor, and all their
 subordinate butchers less t to live in this green
 and flowery world than any wretch that ever swung out of it on hemp"
 1 The only reasonable conclusion that can be ar
 rived at. is, that writer of the above is fugitive l from an insane hospital and is thus giving vent 10 the rawlings of his added intellect. No man of sane
 mind. unless he be scamp of the deepest dye l could give atterance to such aboiniDable senti- ments.
 l The Boston Whig, another violent federal paper, speaking of the nomination of Gen Taylor for the i Presidency, induiges tine following abuse of tine brave old soldier --- "y4 Settled 5atter.-A man whose trade has been
 war--hunting runaway slaves amid the everglades of Florida, and butchering the poor SeminoIes be- cause they harbored the iugitiyes-and waging the slave drivers war upon the poor, starving Mexi-
 cans--doing it all. l admit in obedience to orders
 doing ii ably, but still yoluntanly--and none the
 less internal because egal--such man must be
 never President by the votes of the free States" We do not see the Democratic papers assail Gen Taylor; they admire his pairiotism-applard his gallantry, and admit most cordially and sincerely that he merits the confidence of his country in any station in which he may be placed; it is t. whigs who so shaneiully abuse hin--and before long, in addition 10 his being military ehieitain, stained with blood-a Southern man, aad slave holder, expect to see him denounced Democrat!--- Ner Heapea Reg isfer.

..cAPr. PIKE ARRoAp."

Under this head the Gazette introduces to his readers. some remarks taken from the New York Express. very complimentary to the talents and bravery Of fthe captain. and, after mentioning him a candidate for congress in Arkansas, and the earliest to take the field in the service of his coun- try; adds the following rich moreeau:
 "His eompaay was oae of Me ftco of y4rhGnsas rkicA did rof ieape ths field at Baena Tista, bui anached to and acted brareiy wifh Col May's dra- gooas"
 If this sentence means anything else than that every company Of Arkansas volunteers run, except Capt. Pike's and one other, we hope the Gazette will eniighten us, and if such islander upon the balance of the regiment is not angrily condemned by the people of this State, we have very much mistaken the,r patriotism and love of truth. That northern whig paper could perpetrate such cal umny, created surprise, but that print in own State. should give currency to it @itoai contrad,c toa is offence to Inc character of the State, an outrage upon her citizens who have fought and fallen al Buena Vista. in which regret to see the editor cfshe Gazette implicated. He may have overlook ed the words, have italicised above. but he com Ineats other portions of the article from the Ex- press, and eossects where there is an error. He cannot be ignorant of their want of truth for in the same paper hs has "eSselastS io Psb!iss portion cf Cot. Marshall's report" which stamps their character as plainly words can. We would glad iy regard this as mere oversight in our neighbor cf the Gazette. We hope it may prove so; but aa oyerwcening disposition, to pile hcaors upon Capt Pike and his command. at the expense of othe, DOT tioas of the regiment, has been evinced on former occasions. which we have felt obliged to notice.
 Not one among the warmest friends of Captain Pike. who are so indiscIeetly laudng him. will more cheeffuily ward what is due to his galiantry and courage, discipline and good conduct than we Bat we will never do it at the expense of 'honor to whom honor is due"

By the following extract from Ls Pair,a. paper published in New Orleans it will be seen that Santa Anna's recent visit to the city of Mexico, was any thing but agreeable. La Paria has received let ters from the city of Mexico to the Fist of May in which 1t IS stated that Santa Anna arrived in the capital on the 10th May, as expected; that his reception very different from what he anticipa. ted. The populace, or rabbie, principally leper0s, assembled to the President ad interim, and showered upon him curses loud and deep: and from words proceeded, the old nursery story runs, to try what virtue there was in stones. His Excel lency not being ambitious 10 follow the example of st. stephen, escaped with great difficulty, and pro- tccted by his friends, sought an asylum in the palace. The people, indignant at the frequent de- feats of the Mexican armies, and the failure of Santa Anna to redeem his numerous promises. sought to revenge themselves upon his person. Had it not been for the arned force and the police. the unhap- py President would have been dragged through the streets, inc fate of that poor amputated limb, which has served him so long as a most po- tent reminder of courage and gallantry which are now sadly in want of new props"

 CAPT. STEVENS T. MAscN.-The people of the county of Loudon. Virginia. assembled on the 10th ult, at Leesburg. where Capt Mason formerly re- sided, and adopted the following resolution, with great unanimity;
 ''Resolrei, That the people of the county of Lou doun, in the State of Virginia, present to Captain Stevens T. Mason, of the regiment of U. 5. Moun- ted Rinemen, sword with suitable insignia, as commemorative of his valor in the attack on the strong position of the enemy at Cerro Gordo, in which he lost ieg--and also as an evidence oi their appreciation of his gallant conduct in that hard fought action" Five days after this aatterng testimonial was vo- luntarily bestowed by the people who knew him best that gallant officer expired hardby the bloody of his fame. Ere yet the shout of exultation with which his coantymen received the intelligence of that glorious victory had revetberated along the defIes of the Cerro Gordo, another victim had been added to the red holocaust of battle.
 Capt Mason was the son of Gen. Mason, who fell in duel with Col. McCaIty many years ago. is sincerely lamented in the army. IL would have cheered his spirit whilst preparing to wings it way where the god of battles distributes the rewards of merit with judgment that is not approached on earth, had the proceedings of the people of his na- tive State reached him in season. But now the sympathy of friends will fall upon ears sealed against the cannon's roar, and the sword of honor win have been fashioned for hand that will never wield weapon more. He died whilst yet the con- scousness of having served his country faithfully was his only guerdon Picaynne.

Our thanks are due 10 Hon. K. W Johnson foI number of the "Picket Guard" published at Sal tito, of sth May. We take from il the following well deserved tribute to the memory of Col. Yell and further, eye witness sis;s ,eA of the manner in which Volunteers dePor,ed themselves in the fight. --
 Among the many brave spirits that fell on the plains of Buena Vista on the ever mem- orable 23d, there was perhaps none that ex- celled in many of the highest and most en- nobliag qualities, the individual to whose memory this is a slight tribute.
 His conduct on that day was marked by the highest degree of valor and coolness, and at the same time, the utmost eagerness to come in contact with the superior num- Der ofihe enemy. Together with Col. Mar shall, who was at the head of the Kentucky cavalry, he leJ on the Arkansas cavalry, in charge against greatly superior force of Mxeican cavalry, who were immediately driven back upon the support of an immense column of infantry. Still eager to come in conflict with the enemy, then strongly sup ported, the two corps were again drawn up 10 effect his desired object but much to his disappointment third corps of cavalry, who were to act ii conjunction, being drawn of suddenly to another I,ar, of the field, the pro- jses was abandoned for the time, and the two corps fell back in the direction of the ranche,

 The vicksburg Sentinel, Of March 27th. contains an account of difEealty between J. JEkKISs, Esq, editor ef that paper, and A, H. McAArHuR. of the Whig, resulting in challenge from the Iormer.-- The cause seems to have been an unprosoSed and violent attack made by the Whig upon the edises of Sentinel. to which he replied in tiie following Ian guage:
 "All we have to say is, that after we have found man once to be capable of no high CT feelings or motives than those ot black guard or spaniel, we can treat him ouly as we would the creatures he most resembles. We dislike aisercaiion of any character too much to engage in it willingly under any cireumsiances; but when sought to be thrust upon us by one who neither has the sense to avoid ungenlenanly personalities, nor the manliness 10 give the proper redress for in- suit, we have no alternative but to shun Il altogether"
 To which McArthur. in closing his reply, pub lished in his next paper, said:
 ''We certainly desire no personal alterca lions, but if the editor of the Sentinel fel ssiHsulled" at our course, he should have has the 'manlness" to demand 'sproper redress before endeavoring to leave the impfessio, that we have not the manliness" to give il There is no need of complaint on that score as he has never applied tn vain"
 The former deeming this design io draw iron him hostile message. sent by c. M. Banks letter "insitiag the editor of the Whig'' to hold t~~..~-r--.as.as wifh Lis friend 1t was accepte and the time appointed when friend of tn other should meet bim 10 settle The preimnare' When the hour arrived the friend of MeArthu failed to appear. Another hour was appointed an still he did not come. Alicr which the second c Mir. Jenkins informed him of course he could d tuothing in the matter. We have heard nothin of the termination of the quarrel.
 We should regret to hear of any unfortu nate result from this affair, us there are lev papers in the south more ably conducte, than the Sentinel, and none we lake up witl more pleasure.

fl I4 f in order to draw of the brigade of cavalry from iis heavy snpporl Of infaniry. The plan uccceded---the enemy, doubtless cmbolden- ed by the apparent retreat, detached them selves from their infantry, and came out with the intention of charging on our vastly inie- Fior though not more intimidated force, not two hundred strong, theirs being variousIy estimated from two to three thousand in num- bers. The conduct of our gallant Colonel on that occasion was no less admirable than had characterized it throughout the action. In order to prepare his men for the onset, he could be seen riding about the lines caution- lng them tn coolness and confidence, and his manner and bearing on this occasion were l well calculated to reflect the highest credit upon him at an imminent crisis. The charge was made by the enemy, who, con tident of success, divided their immense force by striking rather at our wings, and conse- quenily our forces were thrown immediately in the midst of them, forming complete
 melee. Their intention was, doubtless, to
 surround us and make complete havoc of the
 affair. Meeting however with greater resis-
 tance than anticipated, though the shock was for moment terrible indeed, the enemy were
 thrown inlo coufusIon. their forces divided
 and they finally fled in dismay.
 It is not with the object of laudiug partic- uIar corps, iha. this single fact of the battle
 is thus ailnded se, but to do justice to the
 memory of one, conspicuous actor m the
 scene, who in his zeal to sustain tho honoi !, Of the flag, was, as we most sadly lament
 unfortunately slain. From his cbnspicuou.
 position at the head of the reg't, he wa.
 doubtless made special mark of by the enc , my and from his aln ost reckless daring, ht z became overwhelmed by their immense num-
 bers, not however until hc had succeeded iii making some of them fall before him. Col Yell was well known as having been
 for many years conspicuous in the legsla- tive halls of our country where from his cour- 7 ,eons dcportmen together with the many l amiahle and agreeable traits which adorned his character, he had secured for himself the
 high estimation If his associates in the pub
 lIc councils, and no man was more endeared . to his constituents.
