MORE OF THE BATTLE OF BUENA VISTA -
Every incident connected with this glorious
achievement of cur arms, is deeply interesting
to the people of this country. The most dar-
ing feats of bravery were performed by our
troops throughout these two trying days, when
combating treble their number. AS an in
stance, says the New Orleans Picayune of the
26th March, of the desperation with which
both armies fought, Mr.. Crittenden, who acted
as Genl Taylor's aid throughout the fight,
when asked whether the Mexicans had taken
three pieces of ordnance from US, as Santa
Anna reported, replied in the affirmative, and
said that the guns were not given up till eve
ry man at them was shot down and every horse
killed near them; and, moreover, that i'll bear
ing them off the Mexicans suffered loss OF
some six hundred men. They interfered mad
~ between the retreating guns and our men
seeking to regain them. These guns were a
part of Capt Washington's battery, under the
command of Lieut.. OBrien. Lieut.. OBJ. was
wounded before his guns were taken, and
when reporting his loss to Gen. Taylor, was
complimented for his bravery-it was no fault
of his. Capt Washington was in another par
of the field and sustained himself with great
GOODNESS and intelligence, as did Capts. Bragg
and Sherman, with their respective batteries
in all but fourteen guns.

PEACE-WHEN WILL 1T GOMEZ

When may we reasonably look for peace !?
is a question now asked by every one. 1t is
really hard to say. Were we at war with al
most any other civilized nation on the face of
the earth, we might reasonably expect that
the result of the present campaign would be a
peace with the republic of Mexico, alike adj
vantageous and honorable to this county
For we confidently believe that, before the 1st
day of May, the forces of the United States
will either be in possession or investing the
Capitalize city of Mexico itself. Were
such the case with regard to any other Of the
civilized nations of the world, we could have
peace on our own terms. BIT with regard to
Mexico, we really do not know what to say.
She is perfect anomaly. She does not know
when TO cry enough. For surely, long ere
this, she ought to be sensible that the contest
is an unequal one, and that the longer it Is
continued, the worse it will be for her. II
then, we may, under existing circumstances,
hazard speculation on the period of the pres
ent war, we would predict that a treaty OF
peace will be made before the 1st of June next
We may be mistaken, but we think that the
war will not last beyond this period.

c5-The following card appears in the "War-
renton Reporter" of Saturday last. We like
the spirit of it, and believe that its tone will
be responded to by the people of North Caro-
lima generally, without distinction of party -
81 Card-The President of the United
States, his Excellency, JAMES K. Polk, was
born IN North Carolina, in the county of
Mecklenburg, and was educated at the Univer-
sity of the State. tits announced in the news
papers that he has promised to visit that seat
of learning at the next commencement, which
will be the first Thursday of June next, and
to attend the meeting of the society of the AL
lumni at that place, of which he is a member,
the day before. This visit of the President to
his native State, and to the University, his H.
ma Mater, is hailed by his fellow citizens OF
North Carolina, without distinction of party.
as an event which will call forth their best
feelings, and to the Chief Magistrate of the
Union every respect is due. Therefore, the
citizens of Granville, Warren, and Franklin,
through which counties the Rail Road passes
upon which he is to travel, without distinction
OF party, are requested to meet in Henderson,
on Saturday, the 18th day of April, to appoint
committee of arrangements to receive the
President and his suit at CASTOR, near the Dor
der of the State, to offer him its Inequalities
and to conduct him on his way to the Univer-
sty. A full meeting is desired to appoint the
committee, and to deliberate upon its various
duties. By MANY CITIZENS.

oG-The following is the 18th Section of the
act of Congress, passed at the last Session,
for the encouragement of volunteering. 1t
will be seen from it, that the non-commission-
ed officers and privates have as good chance
as the commissioned officers, to distinguish
themselves by gallant actions We like the
spirit in which the law was passed, and have
no doubt but it will be a great stimulous to
the young men of the Union to enter into the
service of the country
"And be it further enacted, That when a.
ny non commissioned officer shall distinguish
himself, OF may have distinguished himself, in
the service, the President of the United States
shall be and he is hereby authorized, on the
recommendation of the commanding officer OF
the regiment to which said non-commissoned
officer belongs, to attach him by brevet of the
lowest grade of rank, with the usual pay and
emoluments of such grade, to any corps Of
the army: Provided, that there shall not be
more than one SO attached to any one compa-
ny at the same time, and whenever any pri.
vate soldier shall so distinguish himself, the
President may in like manner grant him a
certificate of merit, which shall entitle him to
additional pay at the rate of two dollars pei
month";"

MEETING IN SAMPSON

At a Democratic meeting held in the Court
House in the town of Clinton, on the Sd of
April, 1S47, on motion of Dr. E. F. Shaw,
Isaiah Thompson, Esq, was called to the
Chair, and VIM. A. Faison and o. NJ Ches-
mutt were requested to act as Secretaries. Mr.

gentlemen committee for the purpose of
drafting preamble and resolutions. viz: DR..
Thomas Bunting, Arthur Brown, Richard c.
Holmes, A. B. Chestnut, and DR.. E. F. Shaw
Josiah Johnson being called upon, address,
the meeting in an appropriate and sensible
speech. The committee then having return

Whereas, The time is approaching when it
will be necessary to select candidate to rep
resent the 18th Congressional district in the
next Congress of the United States and where
as, we, portion of the Democracy of Samp-
son, approve of primary meetings of the peo-
pie to express their wishes and declare their
preference; and whereas, the course heretofore
pursued by our late representative, the Hon.
James ]. M'Kay, in the Congress of the Uni
ted States, his sound political principles, dis
tinguished abilities, and experience in legisla-
ton, entitle him to our confidence therefore,
RESOLVED, That we cordially respond to his
nomination by our sister counties Of Onslow,
New Hanover and Duplin, and recommend
his reelection to serve this district in the next
Congress; that we hereby earnestly request
him to accept the nomination, and pledge our
selves to give him our undivided support
Resolved, That the democrats OF this county
will be gratifed to see the Hon. James j. Nc
Kay whenever it may suit his convenience to
visit them; but whether he visits them or not,
they will endeavor to give him strong sup
port.
On motion of Patrick Murphy, Esq,
Resolved, That the Secretaries forward a
copy of the above resolutions to the Hon. Jas.
J.. Mckay.
On motion of Rhichard c. Holmes, Esq,
RESOLVED, That the proceedings of this NEE
ting be published in the Wilmington Journal
and Fayetteville North Carolinian.

Orr1c1AI DISPATCHES OF GEN. TAYLOR
The official dispatches OF Genl Taylor, giving
an account of the battle of Buena Vista, will
be found in another column. They are just
ike the old hero, terse, modest and pithy-
He writes just enough to give clear account
Of the transaction, and not word more In
deed, we might almost say, that his despatch
es are written in the laconic style. We ad-
mire particularly his reply to Santa Annals
proposition to surrender. It's particularly short
and sweet. Accompanying the dispatches is
list of the killed and wounded, so faras Gen.
Taylor had been able to ascertain them with
accuracy. We don't think that we need pub
lish it, as we have given our readers con-
dcnsed list in our last paper. We particular
" admire the manner of the Dispatches
They are written just in that style which
would lead the reader to think that the events
dilated upon were matters of every day occur
renee. They are perfectly plain and straight
forward,

ADVANCE ON THE RIO GRANDE.-We COM
mend to the calm perusal of our wing friends,
the article taken from the Baltimore Repubi-
can, on this subject. 1t will be seen by a pc
rusal of it, that Gen. Taylor himself sugges-
ted and urged that move which the wings
have censured so much, and which they charge
as the cause of the war. Yes, Gen. Taylor,
whom they now talk OF as their next candi-
date for the Presidency, was the very man
who advised the advance from Corpus Christi,
and that several months before the administra-
ton determined upon this step.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1847-04-09

D-We notice that several of the Federal
papers are hosting to their mast heads the
name of Gen Taylor, as their next candidate
for the Presidency We think our Federal
friends are premature We do not, neither do
they, know whether Gen. Taylor goes the
whole Federal figure. We doubt it. Besides
it looks rather paradoxical for party to start
successful general for the Presidency, seeing
that, at periods within the memory of man,
they have evinced such holy horror of emil
itary chieftains." More anon.

G-ln the Tampico correspondence of the N.
Orleans Delta, we find the following para
graph
" Allow me the privilege of correcting re-
port that the Mexican spy Ryley, now lying
IN the jail at Tampico, is an Irishman This
Is not the fact, he is a Londoner, his name is
Ryder, not Ryley, 1speak of this confidently,
as having some little knowledge of Irish char
acter which would enable me to detect impo-
sltlon, and the poor wretch's owr account OF
himself, added to my observation, has brought
me to this conclusion. He IS not an Irisbmar
Poor Paddy has enough to do to bear his own
faults without saddling HIM with the vices of
other nations"
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1847-04-09

MEXICAN BARBAaITY-The principal rea-
son why so many of our gallant officers were
killed in the battle of Buena Vista, was, that
the Mexican troops, with barbarity unknown
in civilized warfare, SO soon as an American
officer was found wounded on the field, put
him to death with their lances. The cowardly
barbarous wretches, who would have fed like
scared sheep before the same officers, actually
assassinated these gallant fellows when they
found them helpless from their wounds.

DISPATCHES FROM GENERAL ScoTr-The
Union of the 5th inst. contains two official de-
Bpatches received at the War department from
Gen. Scott, the first dated 18th March, and the
second the 18th. These dispatches contain
nothing but what our readers are in possession
of before this time, from other sources. APP
pended to them is the reply of Gen. Scott TO
the Consuls Of France and Spain, who address
ed him notes, claiming the protection of the
persons and property Of the subjects OF those
two countries residing in Vera Cruz. Genl
Scott tells them, that SO far as in his power,
he will see that no damage is done to the per-
sons or property OF the citizens or subjects OF
those nations who may be on terms Of friend
ship with the United States; and to that end,
he sends to the various Consus safeguards
which are to be respected by the troops in the
United States army. General Scott says, that
owing to the want of his heavy ordnance and
draft horses and mules, he has been much re-
tarded in the advances upon the city.

ANOTHER VERSION OF THE i" STRIP.

ANOTHER VERSION OF THE " STRIPED PFC %
In Lawrence, Mass, lives an ingenious gro
Ger, who has contrived the following means of
evading the penal laws against retailing rum
by the small measure, as our North Carolina
statute has it. Behind partition stands the
owner OF the little grocery, concealed from the
view of any one in the outer shop. AS soon
as the sucker comes in, little drawer is sho-
we'd out OF the counter close by the partition,
wlthtwo compartments, in one of which is the
glass of liquor and IN the other the customer
deposits the change OF course the Temper
anee men can't indict the seller, as there is no
one seen
