There is a fearful responsibility resting
somewhere, from this state of things, and #
it is followed BY the defeat or capturetAdf3
Gen. Taylor's army we should pity our worst
enemy, if he had to abide the walked wrath, ;.
Of the American people. The great and. OBJ
trious error has been IN reducing the force
of Gen. Taylor, to 80 great an extent, and
stripping him of all his regular troops. II
he has been permitted to retain 1000 reg
ulars, as a nucleus for the volunteers to rail-
ly around and depend on. it would have
doubled the efficiency of his army, as all
must acknowledge the disadvantages of q
force, exclusively composed Of volunteers,
deficient in drill and discipline, and without
regular trained and educated officers. Five
of the new Regiments of Volunteers, who by
this time have probably all arrived, were
destined to reinforce Gen. Taylor and
on their arrival at head quarters his orders
were to advance on San Luis, for which he
was making all possible arrangements. Phis -
additional force,o of course, will not reach in
time, to be of any service in the present
emergency, as the next adviccs will bring
the definite result, for good or for evil.

COUNTRY BOY.

Happy is the rural lips,
Far removed from city strife,
Health and pleasure round thee teen
Sorrow passes like a dream.
Let me taste thy m~atchless bliss,
Grant Inc but this humble wish;
O'er the verdant fields to rove,
With the flowers to fall in love.
Or when eve glides slow along
On the lake to pour my song;
Or listen in the dewy night,
For fairy step, or mountain spritc.
Or let me with the sky-lark rise,
With it present my sacrifice,
Oh, give me but this single joy,
To live and die, a country boy.
