ANOTHER BATTLE OF BUENA VISTA EXPECTED.
According to the recent intelligence from the
Rio Grande, it would seem that the Mexlcans
are collecting together vast forces to fall on Gen.
Wool, and to retrieve the glory they lost at Buena
Vista. From various quarters we learn this. A
late New Orleans French journal says -" The
sloop Decatur, arrived on the I'd at New Orleans,
brings news from Vera Cruz dated the oath
January There was in Vera Cruz rumor that
Santa Anna had made pronunciamento by which
he called under arms 10000 men to continue the
war. This report had been brought to Vera Cruz
by an express, arrived from the interior of the
country, few hours before the departure of the
Decatur"
The long debates in Congress, both in the
House and in the Senate, the extraordinary
speeches, indicating Mexico and abusing the
government, which issue from Washington
and elsewhere, will no doubt produce their ma
tural effects among the Mexicans, and help very
much to aid and assist them in assembling
another army. We expect, therefore, in a very
short time the re-openng Of the war on the Rio
Grande, and we would not be surprised if it com.
mcnced with some terrible conflict near the scene
of the battle of Buena Vista.

THE EXECUTION COMMITTEE OF THE CHIpAGo
HARBOR AND RIVER CONvESTIoN,-or such por-
ton of them as could be convened on a short
notice-met on Tuesday, at the Astor House,
Abbott Lawrence, Esq, oi Boston, in the chair.
The draft Of a memorial to Congress, on the
general subject Of river and harbor improve.
ments, and in special REPUTATION Of some recent
doctrines put forth in opposition to the power OF
Congress in this behalf, was presented BY Mr.. J.
C.. Spencer, to whom has been assigned the
charge Of preparing said report, and of receiving
and digesting the reports of various sub.com.
mittecs, in calculation of the commerce and bu-
siness of The lakes and rivers, and of the ditii.
cultics and dangers, by reason of insufficient
harbors and obstructed rivers, in the p~rosecu.
ton of that business.
The Report was carefully considered and
unanimously adopted, and IA committee was de.
pu,ed to proceed to Washington, as soon as the
signatures of the respective members of the Ex,
%ecutive Committee should be obtained, and la,
the memorial before Congress.
1t is, we say without fear of being d~isprovet
by the eventual judgment Of the public, the q
blest and most original argument in favor ofth,
power and duty of Congress, to aid the com
merce among the States by harbor and river i'm
provement-and the most complete REPUTATION
Of the nation that this work crn, or lawful,
may, be accomplished by the action of the Sc
parate S~tates-that has been framed.
We trust this memorial, backed by the copi
Gus and convincing statistics which accompan,
it, will avail to prompt Congress to do what i
so much needed, for the benefit to the harbor
and rivers of our handy. Y. Courier an

little compassion our friends of the Ba rnburner

GEN, CAss's RtsiesAfios.-Gen Cass had re.
signed his seat in the Senate. lie has thus
sought to avoid committing himself on the ques-
tons coming up in that body, or which may be
brought up by his opponents. Such a measure
as the bill for the organization Of Oregon, on Inc
principle Of which he is committed, might, at
this crisis, embarrass him. To vote against Q
territorial government to Oregon, on the same
ground that he denies TO Congress the powert 10

serve his consistency but would hardly strength
en- his prospects. A candidate pledged to con-

yVery little progress among the electors.

Wing National Convention.
Nomination of Gen. Taylor.

At ia o'clock yesterday, the Telegraph bro't
us the brief announcement, which we immedi-
ately published in an Extra, that Gen. TAYLOR
had received the nomination of the Wing Ma
tional Convention, for the Presidency, on the
fourth balloting. No statement of the details Of
the several ballo,ings accompanied The despatch;
and for information, beyond the bate fact Of the
nomination, our readers will refer to the Tele-
graphic new in another column, i fany shall be
received in season to accompany this article.
In the absence of the definite Information al.
luded to, we of course infer that the nomination
of Gen. TAYLOR received the authoritative sane
ton of the Convention, that he has been selected
as the Wing most likely, in existing circum-
stances, to unite the wishes and the efforts of
the People of this Country, in rejecting the prin-
ciples, arresting the measures and defeating the
candidates, of the Destructives who, for the
past four years, have Rad possession of the
power, and disastrously controlled the policy, of
the National Government. We of course in
fer that the nomination has been fairly and hon
orably made, after a full and free interchange of
opinions, and an unreserved expression and adj
vocacy of preferences, and that the voice of the
majority of the Convention, thus expressed, was
tremendously ratified by the several Delegations
who composed ii. II so, (and our respect for
and confidence in the integrity and patriotism OF
the National Convention do rot permit us to
doubt on the subject) we certainly acquiesce in
the result, and shall give to General TAYLOR
our sincere and cordial support.
It is surely unnecessary for us to say tina,
Gen. TAYLOR has not been our choice fur the
Presidency,--first or second and that his nom.
i%nation has received no encoura cement from
the columns of this paper. Nor need We
say that we look for the last time upon the
glorious and s~potless banner of HENRY
CLAY, every fold of which, as it has long bravet
the battle and the breeze, is written over in let
tiers of living light, with the records of splendit
services, matchless craftsmanship, devoted ant
self-sacriicing patriotism, and fearless and un

.Dombey d. Son.
Through the curtain poured the sunlight
With a sudden gush of Joy,
Where upon his bed of weakness
Lay the dying little hoy.
On the rising airs of Evening
Balmy sounds of Summer came,
And a voice amid their music
Seemed to call him by his name!
And the golden waves were dancing
On the flooded Chamber wall
On the sunny hair of Florence
And the brow Of little Paul!
As the sunsets tide receding,
Ebbed again into the sky,
Passed the faint hue from his features
AND The lustre from his eye;
As i up the rosy surges
Oh that shining rivers flow,
Went his spirit to the angel,
Who had claimed it long ago!
Ponder still, and full Of yearning,
Seemed to come e'er gentle call,
And the throb OF life grew fainter
In the heart Of little Paul.
But the fond arms of n sister,
Like a link around him Law,
Ginning back his f~uttering spirit
To the love which was its stay,
And its own weak arms were folded
In a clinging dear embrace,
Till his cheek and dewey forhead
Rested gently on her face.
Slowly sank his weary eyelids;
One faint brealhing--that was all,
And no more the kiss of Florence
Thrilled the lips of little Paul.
Through his childish world he wandered
Like n stranger, still and lone,
For the depth OF Manhood's feeling
Had within his bosom grown.
Yet the love whose meek entreaty,
In his patient features smiled,
Gave at last the sainted Mother,
To the happy cherub child
Sad and silent through the chamber
Crept the shadows up the wall
Cold against the cheek of Florence
Grew the cheek of little Paul!
