these interesting items Ot information, Gen. Taylor described 10 me the anxious consul tationS of the second nights of the battle. His officers came 10 him, one after another, expressing a decided opinion that his army was too much broken to be brought up to the struggle another day. He declared to them his belief that, dreadfully as his forces had suffered, the enemy had suffered Worse; that retreat or any other alternative was
 :irely out of the question; that he had made his arrangements to present, still, a formidable front to the foe, and all that re- mained for them was to make up their minds to conquer or die together, if the assault upon their position should be renewed with the returning light. "But," said he, "gen- tlemen, it will not be renewed. Isurveyed the whole field as the sun went down, and 1 believe we have beaten the enemy"
 When the third day dawned it was dis covered that Santa Anna had fled from the ground. General Taylor instantly ordered a train of wagons, provided with medical and other means of relief, and accompa- nied by surgeons from his own army, 10 follow on the track of the Mexicans, and administer 10 the wants of the wounded and disabled, whom they had abandoned on their retreat. Upon some ones expressing a doubt whether such use of the public stores and wagons, for the benefit of the enemy, would be allowed by the Depart ment, Taylor cut the difficulty short, at once, by saying, then, l will pay the biII"- and to provide for the contingency. he di- rected separate account 10 be kept of all that was expended for the purpose.

Besides which, we have the following statistics of the loss of human life in the war The number of deaths returned by officers of the army is I2,S7S; 9749 were discharged for disability, of whom at least half have died--say 4S74; 72,26O men were mustered into service during the war, and 50,573 were mustered out; of the residue, amounting to 22,6S7, 20,O72 were returned as dead, discharged or deserted, and the difference, 26l5, are supposed to be dead; of those mustered out of service if is estimated 10 per cent, or 5II4, have since died; thus making, in the aggregate, a loss of 25,48l lives through this war,
