AudaCifY RcDrOYcd.

II is only necessary to copy the following extract
of Gen Taylors order of the 18th February, publish
ed in the Washington Union, to confute the charges
of the Indiana State Journal that that officer was
purposely left with inadequate force by the admin
lsraton. The reckless of the Journal, for the
last few weeks was not exceled by the same print in
the days of Barnett 1t is thought by some that the
agricultural editor has finger IN the pie The fol-
lowing the language of Gen. Taylor, addressed to
the War Department:
Il have no Intelligent from the interior more re-
cent or authentic than that heretofore commun cated
There is understood to be considerable force in
front, Is it likely that any serious demonstra
ton will be made in this direction. Tie frequent
alarms since the middle of December seem 10 have
substantial foundations | am happy to add that the
population Of Saltillo is fast returning the city
Under the iudlcous management Of Maj Warren
discreet officer of the Illinois volunteers, who
mands in the town. it is hoped tina, the people may
remain quietly in their homes"

Mr.. BENTON AND HIS CoMMIsSIoN.-The story that
Mr. Benton asked for the recall, expected the recall
of Scott, Taylor, or any other officer engaged in the
least particle of fact for Its foundation. The Wash
ington letter writer's of the whig prints we perceive,
are repeating the same story They have now, since
the adjournment Of Congress, nothing to do but to
relate as facts the idle and silly gucses they hear in
the streets.
The truth of the matter is, that Mr.. Benton has
neither asked nor sought this appointment. 1t was
Offered to him by the administration account of
the confidence they felt IN his practical sagacy and
the respect entertained for him in Mexico, which it
was thought, would give him influence in negotia-
ting peace with that republic.
The object Of appointing Mr.. Benton could not be
attained without giving him, not tie actual command
of single military operations but the general control
of them-the power of directing when TO strike and
when to withhold the blow. This power the cabinet
have not thought proper confer, say from fear
of embroiling themselves with the general officers
already engaged In the war, while some attribute
the decision other However tins may be,
Mr.. Benton, we learn, Is not dissatisfied with the
result.
The principal regret which feel account of
the failure of the arrangement with Mr.. Benton arises
from this considerations that If he were appointed, our
hope of early peace would be much strengthened
Our Washington correspondent, In observing that the
only of investing him with the prIncipa COM
mand would be the recall Of the major generals now
In the field, gives. presume one of the arguments
which had weight with the Presidents cabinet But
many persons of high authority in military matters
hold that recall would have been by means
sary. and such, have reason to believe, was Mr..
Bcnton's view of the matter-N Y. Post.

within prescribed territory in which Saltlo is sit
uatcd and several other minor towns.
TAKEN SHoRT.-Col. Curtis's march from Camaryc
to offer battle to Gen. Urea, GAYS the Matamoras
Flag OF the 18th lnst appears to have operated pow
GRIZZLY upon that General; without risking battle,
the gallant Mexican, with his 1000 chosen troops,
.all dressed IN yellow bucksku," rrecpitately re.
treated towards Tula Pass
We had expected better Of Urea. and that the gal
liant Sd Ohio boys might have opportunity Of dis
tlnguishng themselves; much desired he should try
their metal
RETREAT OF SANTA ANNA-We understand from
reliable authority, says the Matamoras Flag Of the
18th inst, that there letters IN town from Next
stating that Santa Anna an full retreat 10 San
LUIS Potosi. The letters also state that he held a
consultation with his principal officers after the first
days engagement, and that retreat then
uously advocated. Before the battle commenced the
Mexicans firmly believed that Gen. Taylor would re-
tire before their vastly superior numbers and tat in
his retreat they could supply themselves with pro-
visions, of which they were in much necd-almost
starving.
Finding the Americans obstinate. and determined
to fight for their eatabes with the foreclosures OF
bull dogs. they despared of getting a dinner fiom
them, and deemed 1t prudent To retire.
