censure. The position of Gen. Wool is entirely diff
ferent-he gave his official approval to the facts and
opinions of the Courts of Inquiry, and considers that
the order alone caused the retreat. When the ami
verssy of the battle of Buena Vista celebrated
at Monterey, Gen. Wool, in speaking Of the battle
ground, said
''That such the strength of the position. that
but for the unfortunate and unexpected retreat
of Col. Bowless regiment, the I'd Indiana volunteers
the Americans would have defeated the Mexican army
early in the day-he attack in the centre had been
repulsed with great loss by Washington's Battery
the advancing column sent to attack the forces the
left, had also been repused and dispersed-when, at
this moment, Col. Bowles's regiment fled, under has
order TO retreat, the field of battle"
Now, if Gen. Wool be correct, it was the order,
not panic, that caused the retreat.

A reward Of $500 recently offered by the
Governor of New York and VIM. McElroy of Ulster
county, for the recovery of child Of the latter about
years old, supposed to have been abducted. So
strong was this opinion impressed upon the minds Of
the neighborhood, that purse made up to enable
the distracted father to pursue the supposed kdnupper
He did so; and traced him, as lie supposed, through
the southern tier of counties to Chaauque; from thence
up the lake to Detroit, and from thence to Canada.
Hefrequenty heard of a man, accompanied by child,
on the road, and pursued the phantom with all the
eagerness of hope Months were thus employed and
now it appears that the little fellow was drowned
his fathers house. Painful though this dis
covery is, it will afford relief 10 the heart-stricken

Messrs CHAPMANs & Co.-GENTLEMEN: | was in

The Democrats are pretty well united in Virginia,
