GEN. TAYLOR'S DESPATCH,

A detailed report Of the battle of Buena
Vista, has been forwarded 10 Warrington by
Gen. Taylor; and published in the Union
The despatch is very long and circumstan-
iial, presenting the positions and movements
of the different commands on the field of bat
tie, and the effects andresults Of these move
ments. From this period it is most mani
fest, that nothing but the most obstinate and
daring courage Of our officers and soldiers
saved our army from entire destruction.
The whole American force actually enga-
ged in the battle was 334 officers and 4,425
men. of whom 453 only were regulars, while
the Mexican army is stated at twenty thous-
and men.
The American loss was 267 killed, OF
whom IS were officers; 456 wounded and %
missing. The Mexican loss may be fairly
estimated from 1.500 to 1000, of whom 500
were left dead on the field.

This road will doubtless be completed in the
course Of year. When these two roads are

things, he says Tribune.
'Mexicans, Vera Cruz is in the power OF

of Vera Cruz, if the fall of that city shall a

the salvation ofihe country

THE OGDENSBURGH ROAD.

We this day present our readers with an
extract from The report Of Mr.. Hayward,
highly favourable 10 the construction of the
Ogdensbnrgh road. 1t ofcourse opens the
most cheering prospects TO theVermoui roads
which are TO be connected with il. The pre-
ceeding portion of this report shows thatihe
country through which the route passes is
very level, admitting OF gentle grades. in no
instance exceeding 80 feet per mile, and re-
quiring an outlay Of but nineteen Thousand
dollars per mile for its completion. The COST
will therefore be two thousand dollars per
mile less than the Rutland, which is much
the cheapest estimate of any road in New
England.
1t is by 10 means certain that sober sec
ondIthought, founded upon more thorough
Investigations of The facts, will confirm the
conclusion Of the engineer that Rouse's Point
is the best eastern terminus ofthe road. Ii is
much out ola direct course from the ST, Law
renee to New York or Boston. Besides
bridging the Lake must be vastly expensive.

Free Press speaks Of this project as hardly

see no reason why :he Rutland is not TO reap

il will bring upon the Vermont Roads. In
deed with The peculiar advantages which all
must cOncede as belonging exclusively TO The

and freedom from the innumerable abrupt

it could not fail Of competing for business
with a certainty of success. The advocates
of the Rutland have never contemplated the
Ogdensburgh road as essential 10 lis pros
perily. They have ever deemed the way
business, passing as II does, through the
richest agricultural and mineral region in
New England, as rendering the stock a very
profitable investment. Yet as muuifcieni
feeder which promised triumphant success
10 the Rutland, they have regarded the con-
sruction Of the OedensLuIeh as OF IL,

WAR NEWS.

We can give our readers nothing new
from the seat of War. Little Of importance
has transpired in relation 10 the operations
of either Taylor or Scott Still we think our
readers will derive much edifcation from the
perusal of the letter from General Taylor in
this paper, which affords the most interesting
details of the bloody battle of Buena Vista.
There is however passage in this letter up
on the subject ofthe Presidency, which will
confirm this high opinion. now so generally
entertained oCthe patriotism. sound sense,
and civil virtues of its distinguished author.
When the war is ended, it will DC just the
time when the political campaign Tor 1s4S
