full daring, infused new splits into the troops
and they charged after him, shouting like
madmen. So perfectly beside himst If was he
with excitement, that he dashed up to an Off
Ger who did not lead on his men as he wished
and opened his head with his sword.
He was everywhere present, and pushed the
first line Of the enemy so vigorously, that 1t
at length gave way. Burgoyne moving up his
right wing to cover their retreat, he hurled
three regiments with such terrible imPetuoslty
upon it, that it also broke and fled. While the
British officers were making desperate efforts
in other parts of the field to stay the reversed
tide of battle, he pressed on after Burgoyne-
storming over the batteries, and clearing every
obstacle, till at length he forced his whole ar
my back into their camp. Not satisfied with
this he prepared to storm the camp also. But
once behind their Entertainments, the British
rallied, and fought with the fury Of men strug-
Cling for their lives. The grape shot and balls
swept every inch of ground, and it rained an
iron tempest on the American ranks, but no
thing could resist their fiery valor. On, on
they swept in the track Of their leader, carry
ing every thing before them. The sun had
now sunk in the west, and the night was draw
ing its mantle over the scene.
Arnold, enraged at the obstinacy of the en-
envy, and resolved to make one more desperate
effort for a complete victory, rallied a few o
his bravest troops, about him, and rousing then
by his enthusiastic appeals, led them to
last charge on the first camp itself. "You,'
said he to one, twas with me at Quebec, yot
in the wilderness, and yoW on Champlain-FoI
low me!' His sword was seen glancing lik
a beam oil light along their array-the mex
moment he galloped in front, and riding rlgt
gallantIy at their head through the devourin
n fire, bloke with a clatter and a crash into tn
very sally port of the enemy, where horse an
r rider sunk together to the earth-the goo
steed dead, and Arnold beneath him, with h
1t leg shattered to pieces, the same leg that WI
broken at the stormiDg of Quebec.
Ie Thus ended the tight, and the wounded h
h 70 was borne pale and bleeding from the tie
ht of fame, only to awaken to chagrin and dl
to appointment. There is but little doubt, tn
n when he violated his orders and gallOped to q
in field, he had made up his mind to bury his SC
tn rows and disappointment in a bloody grave.
ne Would that he had succeeded, and saved bill
of self from the curse of his countrymen'and t
IA scorn Of the world!

Gen. taylor.

A New Orleans paper states that there is a
strong probability General Taylor will return
to the United States on leave of absence fora
month. We respectfully suggest that the
President delay his visit to New York, till he
can be accompanied by the old General, and
that they should enter the City at the same
time but at different points. There would be
such a glorious opportunity for the illustration
Of the philosophical principle Of the attraction
of bodies.
We will imgaine Mr.. President Polk landi

thousands exercising potent lungs.

One of the highest qualities of Gen. Taylor
is his wonderous power to inspire every des-
%cription of force under his command, whether
volunteers or regulars, with that confidence
which insures invinoibility. AT the most crit
ical moments at Buena Vista, when the deci-
mated wearied regiments, overwhelmed by the
fresh masses of the desperate enemy were
yielding ground, the cry "Here comes ola
ZACH" was the talismanic phrase which nerVed
and inspired every responding spirit "A vol
unteer from Buena Vista with whom we con-
versed said to us, seen. Taylor ICON that oGttte
and no mistake about it. No other man could
have held men up to that terrible fire and car
mage. When ever the troops f%altered, his ap-
~perance and cheering word OF encouragement
as he rode through the lines, made the men
feel and stand like rocks" An officer IN the
I'd Illinois volunteer regiment, in a letter des
cribing the battle says:
"What can be said of "Old Rough ant
Ready" He was every where, at the SAINT
time animating, ordering, and persuading hi
men to remember the day and their country
and strike home for both. The breast Of hi
coat was pierced by a canister shot, "Thes'
balls are growing %excited,' was his cool re
mark.
, A regular "~cavalry officer" in a letter II
+. the New York Spirit Of The Times, says:
"Of Gen. Taylor it is unnecessary to sa,,
> anything. His GOODNESS, courage, and admire
: Bile Judgment are known to all. But it shout
-. be clearly and distinctly known, that no ma
!. lining but him could hare Won he battle. Hi
presence was worth 5000 men. Had he bee
struck with a cannon shot, the day ~Gs lost
Such was the confidence the Volunteers ha
in him, so long as he remained In the nell
they thought victory certain They had
II such co6dencc in any other Gene!al. col
+. slider that to him, under God, we owe our live
. Fortunately, too he escaped without a woun
r. though shot through the clothes with mo
81 than one ball."
Such seems to be the universal opinion
~ all engaged there. 1t was the personal etior
and influence of Gen. Taylor himself Whit
saved our gallant little army from total am
hlation, and the country the fruits OF q
i whole years campaign. The time will cor
n when his devoted g~allantry on this, as well as
i other occasions, will be appreciated by q graI
j full people, despite the maliguity Of unprln'
pied politicians.

Major General pillow.

We give this week a statement, from officers
of Col. Hask ell'S Regiment, in relation to the
military capacity Of this excellent Judge of
Horse-Aesh, who was first appointed, and then
promoted, over some OF the first military men
Of the age. The Major General Qor we love
to give him his tItle) comes out in reply in an
article Of such great length, as to preclude us
much to our regret-frOm publishing it. But
the point to meet, as every one will see, was
that he sent up Col Haskell's regiment to a
position he himself had carefully recOnnoitered
as one where there was but one gun. Instead
of that, the regiment was opened upon by
thirteen pieces Of artillery and three thousand
muskets. This mistake he excuses by saying
that the engineer and himself had examined
it as we'll as they could (under fre)-that it
was masked, and that therefore he could not
see it though he had "carefllly recOnnOitered" it
He then charges Col. Il. with trepidatiou
amounting to cowardice, and regrets he cam
pay a compliment to his personal courage al
the Colonel and the officers of the regimen
had done TO mis-. Inns cnaISo
on two accounts: First he, Maj. Gen. +. take
great credit to himself for having passed
through a portion of the field which was rake'
by a crashing fire which moved down all HI
. staff, together with himself. The dreadful dan
ger of the track, he took as the key note OF hi
J song: yet he insinuates, aye charges, that
a was A piece of cowardice for Col. H. to pursu
. him through, this same trail, to report TO hlT
u the murderous position in which his regimen
! had been placed, by the 'cGrefu" ignoranC
e Of this same Major General. This pragmat
cal hero is about as matchless a logician as h
! is a tactician, when he can wire out such
g conclusion from such premises. This charG
e in the second place, is remarkable for contr
d dieting the official report Of Gen. Scott as

GA little more Grape, Capt. BIagg!"
The Captain was working away at his gun,
His aim was full steady and true;
And where the bright lances reflected the sun
His death-shot unerringly flew!
While the cnemy's balls whistlod close TO his
ear,
He felt there was work to be done;
So, unduunted by numbers-a stranger to tear
He calmly reloaded his gun!
He wiped the huge sweat-droPs that stood on
his face,
And, waking the thunder again,
Beheld the proud foeman spring high from his
place,
And fall on the battle-scarred plain!
And as the loud echoes cnme Numbering back
From many a far frowning crag,
He smiled as he heard the low voice OF olt
Zack,

And the shot did its errand so well,
That the mighty rejoicings Of victory won
Went up as the enemy fell!

When hundreds deserted his fagi
And said, as he marked their inglorious High

John WadIeigh's Trial for sleeping in

Justice WinsIow--WhGt do you know about
John Wadleigh's sleeping in meeting?

Justice-Then tell us about it; that's just

hard working man; that is, he works mighty
hard doing nothing; and that's the hardest
work there is done. II will make a Teller sleep

reason that Wadleigh would materially bet very

sometimes materially considerable warm, aud

ever been considered more difficult to cure than
those of cutaneous kind, and it will be conceded
BY all intelligent and candid physicians, that a
knowledge Of the nature and successful treatment
of them is very limited and imperfect 1. is notorious
that many Of these disorders have generally re-

opinion so commonly prevalent, that they are in
curable and it is probable that before the discov
ery and introduction of Beatson's justly celebra-
ted remedy this belief was well founded. But
wherever Ibis medicine hiss been known and used,
it has shown this opinion to be erroneous-it has
