The New York Courier has also repubshed the
seven "serious questions for Mr. Buchanan to answer
charging him with suppressing certain letters, which he
has been ''urged by men in and out OF power to pro-
duce when it is notorious that these very letters were
published in February last The "Courier" is thus mis-
led by the shameful ignorance of its coemporares and
adds another to the number of oxes who have consent
ed to cut off their tails
The Courier, however behaves with more decency
than the Philadelphia "North American" This paper,
which was caught in the very fact of complaining OF the
suppression of letters which the merest scoist should
have recolected had been published more than four
months ago. has not the cando to confess its bunder
but it turns upon us, in that abusive and iliberal
STYLE which distinguishes the "North American" and
disgraces the press of epha-whch, until its
Enlistment was almost the very beau ideal of the decency
and decorum of the press tits satisfied with abusing
for correcting its bunders but repeats OF the gra
uitous charges which were made in the queries
against Mr. Buchanan 1t reteraes the innuendoes which
contained in these in.erroga,ores" and these are,
sthat Mr. Buchanan knew that Sidell could not be re-
ceved in the capacity of minister before he was sent in
hat capacity that he knew, Also that Mcrico pre-
pared to sell arhateuer territory the United States might
require upon reasonable terms that he expressly in
formed that Gen Arista 1could not make any offensive
Increment in the disputed territory; and that IN defiance
of these facts he urged in cabinet council the adoption OF
aggressive measures, and concurred in the suggestion
that the time had come to subjugate Mexico"
The "North American" syly repeats these asser
TONS though il does not endorse them Thus, without
having the courage assert has the to in
sinuate charges which pronounce to be totally false
The " Cincinnati Commercial" also falls into the
same blunder and republshes the queries, with
long and unavailng comment Is possible that this

A LEAVE TAKING-ARlsTA AND HIS GENER-
ALs.-The following rich scene is actually said
to have taken place. The description, remarks
the Flag, is derived from gentlemen high in
the confidence and esteem of the chief actor,
but whose name we are not permitted to men
ton:
After the battle of the 8th and 9th of May,
when the Mexican army in their retreat had
reached Llnares, Gen. Arista summoned Gen
erals Ampudia, Torrejon, Riquena and Canales
to his quarters, and thus addressed them:
''Gentlemen-l ann about to resign the com
mand of the Army of the North, and have sent
for you that you may know the reasons which
have influenced me. They are simply these
cannot command the army with honor to my
self, or country, as long as it numbers SO many
towards, with. high command in its ranks
You, Ampudia are base coward; entrusted
you with 5000 of my best men you betrayed
your trust, proved recreant to the interests OF
your country, and error-stricken fled trembling
and dislnayed, without being within half a
league OF hostile gun.
''You Torrejon, have some reputation as a
cavalry officer God knows how or where YOU
obtained it; am only astonished that you should
have the eflrontery to pretend to command.
''You, Riquena call yourself an artillery off
Ger; you have been consistent through life,
only in one particular your cowardice; you
are brave. like all gasconaders when dangers
are at distance but when the hour of battle
arrives, you are either not to be found, or your
terror renders your presence not only useless
but injurious.
''And you Canales, to be called General
what satire what bitter irony GeuerGL!-
faugh robber, a cow driver, vagabond skulk-
er from rancho to rancho a cowardly pauner,
whose very presence is loathed by every non
orable man, and whose claim to the title OF
General produces the most profound contempt.
As for you, Colonel Carasco; begOne and loash
your brooches, you dirty dog
Gentlemen am done with you; our con-
nection is at an end. Would that your con-
nection with our unfortunate country was also
at an end"

Os-Capt. Briggs company belonging to the
ID Indiana Regiment arrived here yesterday
evening. The Mayorand Council received them
at the wharf and escorted them to one ofour no
tells, and rendered them public dinner, but
such was their anxiety to see home that they
declined delaying their departure even for one
day.
Lieut.. Davis belonging to the company, had
his trunk opened just before the boat arrived
here, and about one thousand dollars stolen from
it, seven hundred of which belonged to himself
and the balance to sick and wounded soldiers OF
the company. The theft was not discovered
until after the boat had left the wharf. Lieut..
Davis, took the next boat in pursuit in hopes OF
being able 10 oyertakc the boat and thief. Sin

BRUTAL FERocfrY.-The New Orleans pa
pers mention the case of Il soldier who enter
ed the store Of venerable Silversmith in that
city to enquire for walking stick, left by one
of his officers for repair. An evidence of au-
thority to receive it was required and that was
deemed an insult.-He raised a stick and
knocked down the umoilending and unresiting
old man, seized brick and broke his jaw bone
with it, His daughter interlered, but without
effect. Tetanus cnsued with the former; the
latter has, By the shock, been bereft Of her rea-
sJn.
The papers which record this, one of the
darkest scenes in the drama of human crime,
speak of the perpetrator as one OF a company
raised in indianapolis. Weare sorry if it be
true that place so respectable should ever have
been polluted by his footstep. One, whose
callous heart neither the decritpude ofage, nor
the beseechings of filial affection could move
to arrest the ruiTian arm, should, like the first
murderer, be wanderer without local habit

service twelve months ago over nine hundred men.

their homes. This regiment was not in any battle,
but to it was assigned the duty guarding the depots
along the Rio Grande Over one halt OF the men have
died, or are in dying condition. by diseases common
to the wretched climate Far harder was the lot of
these poor fellows, who wasted away under the full
inlunce of pestilence, than that of those who met
with quick deaths the battlefield. On the heads
ofthe promoters of this unjust rests most fear
full responsibility, for they responsible Tor the
deaths of the many thousands who have already fal-
len victims TO the errors OF battle and pesu-

A PROMPT REPLY.-An incident is related in
letter from Jalapa, published in the Somer-
Vile (Tenn.) Reporter, which is worthy Of be-
ing repeated. The editors of two of the Mem
phis papers say they heard it alsotrom the lips Of
several of the returned volunteers:
When the I'd Tennessee volunteers were
driven back at Cerro Gordo by the hurricane OF
grape, canister and musketry which seventeen
pieces of artillery and near three thousand
small arms had h rled against the advancing
columns, cutting down nearly third of their
number in the short space of three minutes,
COL Haskell assembled the scattered regiment
and reformed it in the chaparral for second
charge Gen. Pillow, on comingup and cast
ing his eyes ever the gallant little band, was so
struck with the diminution of their numbers
that he demanded, .'Where is your command,
colonel? there are not half of themhereT ''They
are there, sir" replied the intrepid Haskell,
pointing towards the enemy's batteries-''they
are there, sir, dead and dying on the field to
which they were ordered =

Of Epes:
Should we be discharged in Mexico, large
party of us have formed the plan of purchasing
mules and ponies and making our way home
through Texas, and the interior of Louisiana
This would really be pleasure excursion. The

WAS OLD HOMER MEXICAN FEDERALIsr?'
SO it would seem from the following lines,
as rendered into English verse, from those OF
this old Father of Epic Poetry, by Alexander
Pope. Is there not danger in the continuance
Of Homer among the classical students Of Old
Harvard, since it inculcates much "treGSondble"
doctrines? Next to Hon. Stephen c. Phillips
letter which trds not read, what can be more
replete with the bluest federalism" than the
following lines?-[ Boston atlas.
'Curst is the man, and void of law and right,
Unworthy property, unworthy right,
Unfit for public rule or private care;
That wretch, that monster, that delights in war,
Whose lust is murder, and whose horrid Joy,
To tear his country, and his kind destroy"

O--We understand that Joseph A. Wright,
most bitter Locofoco partizan who is running
against Col. K. w. Thompson in the seventh
Congressional District, declares, on the stump,
that he will vote for Gen. Taylor for the pres
idency. This declaration is made for the pur-
pos. offalling in with the popular current, and
with no intention ON his part, of being carried
out He can't gull the real friends of General
Taylor in that way. He is too well known and
understood to play, successfully, such game
State Journal
Mr.. Owen in this District is attempting the
same trick. He, it is said, goes stronger for
Taylor than any Wing that can be found. Does
he think the people have forgotten his attempt
to supersede the old hero?

and 1.-THE pass" proves it, but whilst he may
lament that the Mexican should leave the Presi

he will not follow his fortunes SO far as to abdi
