The bearing of this gallant officer in the battle of
Buena Vista, described by persons who pres
ent, was in the highest degree gallant noble and
soldier-like. When his Brigade, COMPOSED IF the
two Indiana Regiments, was exposed to a merciess
hire from the Mexican batteries their TANKS, and
front ire from large body Of the eaemys batteries
when the grape ani musket shot few as thick as hail
over and through the lines Of our volunteers, who
began to waver before the fiery storm, their brave
General could be seen fifty yards in advance Of the
iine waving his sword with eady shattered
by musket ball, and streaming with blood and
mounted on a noble charger, who was gradually
sinking under the loss of blood from FIVE distinct
wounds. A brave sight indeed was this; the recol-
lection Of which should forever silence those who
would dwell upon the momentary delinquency of the
lndIanians. As his Brigade fell back under the
pressure of Overwhelming numbers, General Lane
himself brought up the rear, and was the last
leave his position. Blackened by the powder and
smoke, covered with blood and severely wounded,
with his clothes riddled with bullets he sullenly re-
tired before the enemy loudly cursng the cowardice
OF some OF his men. and appealing to them in a
strain OF mingled entreaty and scathing irony TO
stand by their coors and the honor of their State.
And throughout that long and bloody day this brave
officer was seen in every place Of peril and difficulty,
raiying troops and leading them against tie foe
Not until victory had perched on our banner, and the
beaten enemy had retired from the field did he dis.
mount from his jaded ard wounded horse; and then,
exhausted by fatigue and loss of blood, he tainted
into the arms of his Aid, and borne away to the
hospital, where he received surgical assistance,
which he SO greatly needed.-Nec Orleans Dslta.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE WABAsH.-An extra from
the Vncennes Qa) Gazette, dated the 18th instant,
announces that the distractions in the navigation of
the Wabash river about to be removed We CO.
Ply the following from the extra:
The books for the subscription to the Wabash Ma
vigation Company stock, opened at this place, have
been closed, with subscription of $5l 900, which,
with what we know has been taken at other points,
fully authorizes to that more than the
quisie amount Of stock has been taken.
Thus this great interest," after having attracted the
attention of the National and State Legislatures for
some twenty years past without any good result, is
speedily to receive the proper aid from individual
enterprise.
In less than eighteen months good low-water
navigation, if not better, will be secured to the lower
Wabash at least as is now enjoyed the Ohio above
and below the falls.
The company will probably commence operations
by the middle of June next.
We congratulate the five hundred thousand people
of this fertile valley as well as the people of every
region depending upon its granares for their daily
sustenance.
At this moment fifty rounds Of our ordnance is ex-
pressing the joy of our inhabitants.

Colonel BOwles, and the brave Captain

Three days before the bloody battle Of Buena Vista,
Colonel Bcwles ordered the lamented Captain Kinder
TO detail portion of his command for certain pur-
pose Captain Kinder informed the Colonel that that
duty belonged to his first Sergeant For this instruc-
ton, the field commander had Captain Kinder arrest
ed, and his sword taken from him. But on the NOR
ming Of the tweniysecond, and but short time be-
fore the brave Kinder fell he marched at the head OF
his company, with a musket upon his commanding
shoulder instead of his sword by his side. General
Lane, the very soul OF chyalry and noble bearing,
learning that the Colonel had not delivered Ca ptaIn
Kinder his sword and that he was upon the sanguin-
airy field Of battle armed only as common soldier,
Immediately ordered Colonel Bowles to deliver up 10
the gallant Kinder his sword. The order imme-
dlatey complied with but the brave and noble youth
was soon after seriously wounded, while leading OH
his commaBd in the thickest Of the fight.
Thus fell brave officer and a warm and devoted
friend. He was highly esteemed by all while living.
and his death has thrown a gloom over large circle
of friends. But his Colonel still liyes-lives TO reap
the just reward Of his cdwardce and treachery and
to receive from the brave and chivarous Of Ind-
ana the severest for the sanderous report he
made to Gen. Wool, of the gallant and brave regi-
ment under his command-a regiment deserving a
purer man-a Drawer soldier, and a better military
officer, to command them upon the battle field.

OI-In several editorials lately, the Journal has
manifested even less conscentiousness than usual
The Journal represents Judge Wick having given
vote for amendment to the resolution of thanks TO
Gen. Taylor and ,he army, lcih intent cast stig-
ma upon that officer. This is not true. Immediately
after the news Of the fall of Monterey reached
Washington, some one introduced the resolution Of
thanks. At that time no information of the causes
why the Mexican army were permitted to march off
with arms in their hands had reached Washington,
and impression prevailed that perhaps better terms
might have been obtained. The mover of the reso-
luton, and others were urged to let the motion lie till
further information could be obtained, but refused
The resolution passed the House, with a provso an
nexed declaring in substance that it should not be
construed an approval of the terms of the capu-
lation, Judge Wick voting for both the amendment
and the resolution. In the Senate the resolution
was after delay till the csuses which produced such
favorable terms to the Mexican army were fully un-
dersood, adjusted to leave out the proviso and
Judge Wick, having then full light the subject
voted for the resolution, with pleasure.
Again: The Journal accuses Judge Wick of be-
rating the democracy because they would not SUPER
cede Gen. Taylor, by placing him ga democratic
commander" This is not fair. Judge Wick did
find fault with the democracy for not passing law
the effect of which would, no doubt, have been to
place democrat at the head of the army. The
effect would not have been to supersede Gen. Taylor
Gen. T. was not then at the head of the army. Gen.
Scott in virtue of his rank was Commander-n-chief
Had the law passed, Gen. Taylor would have lost no
rank. Gen. Scott would have been superseded, and
he only. Besides the intent Of the law which Judge
Wick advocated, to place at the head of the
army in possession of the views of the admins
tration TO speedy peace, skilled in matters per-
tanning to the of the controversy and having
common party interest in bringing the war to a
close. This the object. The lauding, repre-
hension, or suspendpg of Gen. Taylor had nothing
to do with the case. He needed praise for his
deeds praised him. The effect of the law would not
have been such to either to reprehend or supcrsede
him.

Judge Wick, in answering Judge PEAsLEE's speech'
remarked that he believed he did not vote on the
Stewart proposition TO raise the pay of volunteers,
but, that had he been in the House, he would have
voted against it. and for the that he wished to
do better for the volunteers at some future time To
test the truth of this reason, give the resolution of
Mr.. Stewart, found page $50 of House Journal
Restored, That the Committee Military Affairs be in
struced report bill increasing the pay Of the volunteers
dollars month"; and granting those
who the end Of the war; die 10 the service,
hundred and sixty acres Of land.
The Judge claimed great credit because he voted.
at the recent session of Congress- to give the voun
teers one hundred and sixty of land, and said
that 6etter'' than the Stewart proposition This
is incorrect the above resolution proposed to give
them one hundred and sixty of land. as well as
TO raise their pay from to ten dollars per month
What ercuse next, Judge !-IadianG Journal.
No excuse Mr. Defrees. but reason. The resolu-
ton of MIR. Stewart gives the land only to such
would serve to the end of the war; which would nave
cut out all our volunteers from this State then in
vice, who serve but year. This would have placed
the regulars entered for the war, better footing
than Judge Wick's volunteer constituents.
Bah brother Defrees. What have you to say to
that!

VOLUNTEERS FROM SwITzERLAND.-The Philadel-
phia Ledger of the 18th inst, saws: 1.-The war in
Mexico has not only aroused the military enthusiasm
Of citizens, but it that numbers of Eu-
ropeans offering their services to the United States
Government. The German Schnellpost's correspond
ent in Base, Switzerland, says eight hundred young
and hardy men, among whom some of the most
distinguished officers in the Swiss service, have Offer
ed their services TO the United States government,
through the American Consul at Basic. They will
engage TO serve during the war, for five or ten
years, and afterwards form themselves into military
colony in California, upon the plan of colonies which
England and Russia have in several Of their do
minions. Several of these volunteers have families,
and are most respectfully connected.
This is highly complimentary to the United States,
but doubt that the government will accept their
services, while so many of our own gallant voun-
eers arc DESTROYS of entering the service of their
country.
