lor. The brave old man was sitting quietly
on bis old white charger, with his leg over
the pomnel OF his saddle, watching the move
ments OF The enemy, when the Mexican otil-
Ger was presented. In IA very courageous and
graceful manner. the officer stated that he had
been sent BY his excellency Gen. Santa Anna,
TO enquire in the most respectful manner,
"what be General Taylor was waiting for.
From the silence of General Taylor's batter
les. and the quiet manner in which he recei-
we'd Santa Annals terrific cannonading, the
Mexican supposed he was asking very
searching question, to which however, old
Rough and Ready gave the very pertinent re-
ply, that "he was only waiting for General
Santa Anna to surrender" The Mexican re-
turned hastily to his lines.
The message proved to be a ratss to ascer-
tain what General Taylor's position was, for
after the return Of the Mexican officer to his
own ranks, the whole Mexican battery seemed
to open upon the Old Hero, and The balls flew
over and about him like hail. Utterly indit-
fereni to the perils OF his situation, there sat
the chief, on his conspicuous white horse,
peeriog through his spy glass, at the long
lines OF Mexican troops that could be seen at
great distance on The march. The persua-
sion OF his aids could not induce him to aban-
don his favorable point for observation, nor
