aor Lieut.. A. b. Corwin, of the Ohio voiun-
,,ors. 10 the Cincinnati Chronicle, furnishes
anne interesting incidents of the battle Of
pocna Vista. After describing the gallant
,,ood made by the Mississippi volunteers
which movement Gen. Taylor watched with
tho most painful anxiety, and which he was
bcord to say reflected the highest credit on
Col Davis military judgment-Lieut Cor
win says,
aGen. Taylor has gained more influence

NopoIcon, that ever lived. There is not

"One Of the camp rumors is, that on the
night ofthc 22d, at n council of his officers, it
was debated MS TO whether they should fall
back on Monterey or risk an engagement
with the enemy in the morning. The coun-
ell was uncertain and somewhat divided, and
after long debate, in which the opinion OF
the majority inclined against an action, old
Rough and Ready rose from his place, and
said, We'll, gentlemen, the council is adj
iourncd to meet after the battle. In the morn

SENATOR BUTLER AT HOME.

From the "South Carolnan'' we learn that a
large concourse of citizens assembled at the Court
house in Columbia TO welcome home Judge Bur-
LER, the Senator from South Carolina, on his re-
turn from Washington. A public meeting being
organized, resolutions were adopted, which, though
no more than Just to his merits, could not but be
gratifying to him. To these he responded with his
usual frankness and point Among other things
worthy of note, he adverted to the prescription,
by public meetings in Georgia, by which he with
| others had been accommodated from what is
termed the Democratic party. This (he said,
would not change his course. Democracy was q
term of doubtful and fallacious import-he pre-
ferred the name OF Republican. There were
some securities in the guarantees of an organized
Republic, none in an irresponsible Democracy
He spoke at some length tracing with clearness the
distinctions between constitutional Republic ane
the turbulent action of irresponsible Masses
The elucidaton which he gave Of the pretended
persecution, by the Senate, of the Editor of thu
Washington Union is, by odds, the best w
have seen:
"He alluded to the circumstances Of Mr.. Rhches expul
sion for libel upon the Senate declared that the only
ments brought forward by his champions were, Fathe
Richie and the liberty of the Press the liberty of tn
Press and Father Richie No other. 'And what did hi
expulsion amount (said Mr.. b. Why, simply reno
val from the benches back of the Senators seat in tn
gallery among the pretties women have seen,
where half Of the time would much rather have beef
than in my seat And, to liberty of the Press,
abuse makes free one the Union certainly free in tina
respect as any one ever saw" Az. ......

Mn. CALHoUN's ANNEX ALTON POLICY.

The " Union comments on Mr.. CALHOUN s
agency in the annexation of Texas, and thus speaks
Certainly there were in various parts OF the Unon many
very well informed persons-old and sanch friends OF an
nexaonwho considered that the agency of Mr. Calhoun in
that transaction might have been quite well dispensed with
that the method of annexation adopted and unsuccessy tried
by him was far from being the best and safest method that
unnecessarily and unwisey narrowed the grounds of policy
upon which he placed the that he clogged with
many difficulties and perls naturally belonging to it that,
of the incidents Of his in the matter, he failed
adopt any very scrupuousy strict construction of the
sutional limits of Executive authority and that, in
word the Texan business not web managed till passed
substantially ont of Mr. Cahouns hands and into the hands
OF Congress Then, indeed in mode quite different from
the mode adopted by Mr. Calhoun, annexation
mated and the just and legitimate triumph othe achieve
ment last happily accomplished comparatively little aten-
ton was paid any which might appear the
of statesman whose plan Of annexation had most sgndi
failed the moment when annexation IN itself was
most popular"
There can be no doubt but that i" many very well
informed persons did think all this. But why
has it never been said by the Union before now
Why has that print, entertaining all these opinions,
and filled with these thoughts, just found language
to express its ideas That is question which the
Union ought to answer and satisfactorily explain.
Mr.. Calhoun will see that he has been acting for and
with men, all along, who have secretly condemned
his whole course and policy.-.4terdndria Gaz.
