Where is the holy Indignation of the Times at these

the armies and navies which waged warfare of pi-

were guilty of atrocities to which the annals of civil

Communicated.
Capt. Ben w. Moore, of LIST Dragons.
Many of the choice spirits OF the land have winged
their way to immortality during the Mexican war, and
the of their death has spread over the land meet
ing friends and relatives tempered with the applause due
to their gallant acts The funeral sbow-he monumental
pe-the panygeric of the oratorthe admiration OF the
people have taken from death its sting and grief for the
individual is lost in admiration OF the hero
To this must be excepted those heroic men who have
fallen in the far distant land of California. Time and
distance shut out their deeds from view and their names,
with their bodies, are buried the fields they have so
calamity won.
These reflections find truth in the fate of the brave
Capts Moore and Johnston, and Lieut.. Hammond who
fell in the charge at San Pasqual.
Capt Moore entered the army IN 1892 and served in
the Black Hawk war, and has been until the beginning
of the present war; without inter- upton the western
He served with distinction in the conquest of New Mex
leo and when General keany determined TO cross the
msuntans with only 100 dragons, Capt. Moore
lectcd to command them.
Athletic beyond the ordinary run OF men, and of in
domitable spirit, he bore like man the atgues OF that
terrible march, and infused his spirit into others.
Perfect in craftsmanship, of commanding stature and
generous impulses, he the beau ideal of cavalry
officer.
The battle of San Pasqua was fought at night that the
enemy might not the numbers and condition of the
lacking party When the day dawned the enemy had
fled, and single horseman far in advance Of
the dead and wounded of the American party But horse
and rider were perfectly mouonless. 1t was Captain
Moore As the party charged with collecting the dead
and wounded got within few steps of him, he fell from
his noble charger perfectly hleess His body found
to be pierced in many places with ances, and in his
clenched fist was the handle of his broken sabre
Gen. kearny had forgotten his wounds in the ex-
ctement OF the fight and the flush of success but when
he Moore fall from his horse, change came over
him, and with every other present, he bitterly la
mented the death OF this brave and chivarous officer

with the United States The streets of the city OF Mex

would be offered to General Scott
General Alvarez, who is with his forces on the road
between Pueba and Jaapa Zone of the letters says be-
