deal of pleasure:-

Aqua Nueva, Mexico, March /, 1917.
My Dear Sr:-You will no doubt have re-
ceived, before this can reach you, the deeply
distressing intelligence of the death of your
son in the battle of Buena Vista. 1t is with
nc wish of intruding upon the sanctuary of
parental sorrow, and with no hope of admins
tering any consolation to your wounded heart,
that have taken the liberty of addressing you
these few lines; but have felt it duty to
the distinguished dead, to pay a willing tribute
TO his many excellent qualities, and while my
feelings are still fresh, to express the desola-
ton which his untimely loss and that Of kin
drei spirits has occasioned.
had but a casual acquaintance with your
son, until he became for time a member OF
my military family, and can truly say, that
no one ever won more rapidly upon my re-
gard, or established a more. lasting claim to
my respect and esteem. Manly and honora-
bic in every impulse, with no feeling but fol
the honor of the service and of the country
he gave every assurance that in the hour OF
need | could lean with confidence upon his
support. Nor was disappointed. Under the
guidance of himself and the lamented Mckee
gallantly did the sons of Kentucky in the
thlckest OF the strife, uphold the honor of the
State and of the country
A grateful people will do justice to the
memory OF those who fell on that eventfu
day. But may be permitted to express the
bereavement which feel in the loss of valued
friends. To your son ] felt bound by the

OFFICIAL DEsPATcHEs.-Th Union OF Mon
day night contains the detailed accounts Of the
battle of Buena Vista, from the pen Of Gen.
Taylor. The account is very long and in
teresting one, but as we have published so
full details OF that action heretofore in our c.
lumns, and as those details correspond so near
ly with the account furnished by Gen. Taylor,
we do not think it necessary to republish it.
We also find in the same paper of the same
date, the official accounts of the operations in
New Mexico, from the pen of Col Sterling
Price. This despatch we will give in our
next paper, as we think our readers will be
interested in learning the authentic details Of
our brilliant successes in that quarter.
05-The Chronicle OF Wednesday last, does
not answer one of our questions He has
not shewn one single instance in which the
President has shewn any hostility to General
Taylor. His "aray of proof" we do say,
has no bearing on the point at issue whatever,
and we leave the readers of the Chronicle to
be the judges. But why does the Chronicle
allude to that part of our article alone? Why
did he not answer some of our inquiries about
the political principles of Gen. Taylor Why
does that paper keep such profound silence
about the political doctrines of the man whose
name he hosts as a candidate for the Presi-
dency? Again. Why does the Chronicle
say nothing about the enormity of running a
military chieftain for the first civil office in
the Uuion? On all these matters, our neigh
Dor keeps a comfortable silence We presume
a political creed will be manufactured fol-
Gen. Taylor, all in good time, should the
whig party run him as a candidate as yet
however, we presume the Chronicle is pro,
foundry ignorant OF what that creed will be
We presume he will learn it all in good time
But we had supposed that he would be able tc
guess at it, before advocating the old Genera
for so high political affair. So soon as oul
neighbor finds out, we would thank him tc
impart the information, for we assure him, il
all sincerity, that we feel considerable curios
ity on the subject
