Pierce gained about the number of votes
which Hale lost, viz: about 10000 SO it
has been generally in the North The i'm,
posture, which, before the election, was suf-
fciently exposed, of connecting Scott and the
Wings of the North with the aboltionists,
deserves, now that it is seen whom that sect
regarded as most friendly to it, to be held up
to the scorn and ridiculc Of the South.
The falling off of the aggregate Wing vote
in Massachusetts was tho same in nearly
every state in the Union; at a state election
held but five days after the Presidential cleo
tion, the Wings in Massachusetts increased
their vote near 5000
These facts arc enough to deprive the re-
suit OF much Of its merit as n triumph, and
they show conclusively that the strength oil

HARD TO KEEP FROM GRUNTMG.

Among the many incidents connected with
the battle of Buena Vista, there is perhaps
not more striking instance of presence Of
mind and great power of endurance than the
following:
S. X, tall raw-boned sucker who had
fought all day through the 23,l, was one oil
those who accompanied Colonel Bissel i'll
that bloody charge, commonly called Har.
dn's charge. In the first fire of the enemy
X. was shot through the leg and completely
disabled, his leg being terribly shattered
Our men who were engaged i'll this charge
being but small handful, were overwhelmed
great numbers of Mcxicans, and consequent
Iy compelled to retreat precipitately, leaving
the wounded 10 the tender mercies OF the
generous hearted Mexicans, who were never
known to spare wounded soldier when
thrown into their power. X. seeing ou'
men leaving. and the enemy approaching
rapidly, thought it about time to make his
will, for, as he afterwards expressed himself
they were about to get his note, or rather his
bacon. Believing that the Mexicans would
instantly murder him if they found life in
him, he pulled out his purse Of money ant
laid it as far from him as possible, aud laic
rock upon it. No sooner had he hid his
money than the Mexicans rushed upon him
and commenced search for money, he
holding his breath at the same time and pre-
tending to be dead. They soon concluded
their search by turning over the stone under
which the money lay. The wretches ther
commenced wrcaking their vengeance upon
the poor fellow, by thrusting their bayonet:
into his breast and side, and then by beating
him over The head with the butts Of their mus
kets, until poor X. was horribly mangled
After the battle was over he was found al
most dead. Fortunately none of his wounds
were mortal. The writer, who was all in
mate at the hospital at the same time will
K, has heard him describe his feelings, OF
the occasion, as follows" When the
scoundrels came on me knew my onl
chance was to play possum. l could stan'
it to have the bayonets stuck into me, bu
when they began beating me over the hea
with the butts of. their muskets, found
