EFFECTS OF DISCIPLINE.

The New Orleans Picayuue says:-In CONVEX
sation which we had with an intelligent officer who
arrived yesterday from Buena Vista we learned that
the regiments Of volunteers whose officers had taken
pains to drill and exercise them in the art of war
distinguished themselves throughout the battles of
the 22d and 23d February. or the Arkansas cav
airy, two companies (Capt. Pixies and Capt. Pres
tons) were well drilled and fought with distinction
That those companies which fled during the engage
ment were so disorderly that nothing was expected
of them. Ofthe two Indiana regiments in the bat
tie one was well disciplined and fought bravely
the other was not, and gave way in the commence
ment of the fight. The Kentucky.foot and Davis's
Mississippi regiment, together with Lanes Indiana
regiment and Baker and Bissel's Illinois troops.
were well differed and conducted themselves with
the greatest gallantry and firmness. There was no
accounting for the different behavior of the two re-
gments from Indiana, except upon the score of dis
cipllne. They were both from the same State and
apparently of the same staple, yet Bowles's regi-
ment lett their brave commander, who, deserted by
the body of his men, collected some score of such
as would follow him and asked permission to fight
In the ranks of the Mississippi regiment where
they did good service till the close Of the battle
When Col Mckee and Lieut. COL Clay were
Killed their regiment was pressed SO hard by an
overwhelming column Of Mexicans-some six or
more to one-that Capt. Washington drew the can
lister from his battery and fired shells over the heads
OF the Kentucky troops, which bursting among the
enemy contributed greatly to the relief Of our men.
his shows the great GOODNESS with which these
batteries were managed.

From the N. Orleans Picayunc, April 6.
LATE FROM THE CITY OF MEXICO.

BY the way of Vera Cruz and Tampico we
have received file of papers from the city Of
Mexico to the 18th Of March; our previous dates
thence were down to the 9th Of FEBRUARY.
These papers are occupied with the miserable
details of the two factions in the city of Mexico,
one under Gomez Farias the Vice President the
other under Gen. Pena Barragan. Much blood
has been shed, but without any decisive effect.
Sci Republican," Of the 18th March announces
that the American arms have triumphed in Chihua-
hua, that the city of chihuahua, the capitol of The
State has, fallen. The small forces which defend
ed it, says the Republcano, were routed The
same number of that paper, and the number Of the
18th, complains that che Government does not pub
lish the details of the fighting, declaring that Mex
lean courage is not TO be damned by such reverses
We cannot but infer, from the manner in which
the Republican, introduces the subject, that Chi
huahua did not fall till after the battle glorious to
the American arms.
The Republican, OF the 18th of March reports
that certain Indians of New Mexico, Los Chimay-
os TO the number Of 5000, have risen against the
Americans, and joined the Pueblos previously in in
surrectiOn
The entrance Of Santa Anna into San Luis Pc

NOT TO BE ENSNARED.

The following extract from the Washington cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia North American,
shows that the march to the Rio Grande was tho
administrations own step, and that Gen, Taylor
has, all along. perfectly understood with whom no
had to deal
''It was the design of Mr. Polk and his advisers
to get Gen. Taylor to assume this responsibility by
giving him general and indefinite instructions.
while they concealed their designs. Hence the
various communications that passed between him
and the War Department, before he consented to
march from Corpus Christi. AS the general in
command, he told the administration, eff you de-
sign to hold the Rio Grande as the western boun-
Diary of Texas such position would facilitate your
object" He never adcised them to the step di-
rectly or indirectly. Idefy particle of proof from
even the partial correspondence, published in the
Union.
seen. Taylor well knew with whom he had to
deal before he took command of the army in Texas.
One of his last conversations in New Orleans on the
very eve of his departure, was related to me by
distinguished statesman, now numbered among the
dead, who shared his intimate friendship. On be-
ing advised to be careful of ENHANCEMENT in his OPP
eratlons, Gen. Taylor replied that he had 'dcter-
mined upon his course, and would not bulge an
inch without the written authority in his pocket"
"This caution has characterised his conduct
throughout, and has protected him against the in
sldous snares of the Executive and his advisers"

THE LIEUTENANT GENERAL.

Inc country will bear in mind that, among the
many notable plans of Mr.. Polk for conducting the
Mexican war, one OF the most prominent was to
make Senator Benton Lieut. General, and place
HIM IN the chief command Of the American Army.
In the first place he admits Santa Anna to Mexico.
and gives the enemy the best General of their
country; in the next, he endeavors to place nj the
head Of our own troops man VINO, we NAV safely
say, is no General at ALTO stamp this policy "a
folly is the very mildest term which can be applied
to it,
1t is no merit Of Mr.. Polk that Mr. Benton was
not made Lieut.. General. In defiance of the will
OF Congress and of the people, he repeatedly en-
deavOred to force civilian into the chief command
Such was the return which he would have made
for the services Of the intrepid Taylor. Such is the
sentiment ability" with which he would have con-
Quoted the war.
Recent events have shown how entirely tmnc-
cessd to say the least Of it, was this notable plan
OF MIR. Polk. Under the victorious banner Of Gen.
Taylor, and upheld chiefly by confidence in his
military knowledge and prowess, our army has won
triumph at Buena Vista almost unparalleled in
the annals OF warfare. Under the scientific gu-
dance Of Gen. Scott the strongest castle of Mexico
has been captured after short struggle and in the
most brilliant manner.---Who believes that Col.
Benton could have accomplished these objects
lie has himself said that his plan of hostlties was
different from those Of both Taylor and Scott, and
we have no doubt that its results would have been
widely different from those which have followed
the efforts of those illustrious commanders. =.
That such preposterous humbug as the appoint
ment of Benton to the chief command should ever
have been entertained by sane man. appears more
than ever, matter Of wonder, after the comment
upon it presented by recent glorious Victories
Rich. Republican.
