This sixteenth section, as above, is all that
makes any direct requirements at the hands Of
the present Board of town Trustees, previous TO
the election Of April 4th of this year. The old
Board, it will be seen, is compelled only to give
notice Of the place Of election in each ward
and no definite provision is made in this section
as to what particular period previous to the
day of election such places must be designated
by public notice from the Board. But this
omission appears to be covered by the twenty
first section of the last chapter of the act which
provides that mot more than six days notice
shall be required Ito be givcnl of the first cleo
ton to he held under this act, any thing CON

We trust that under this explanation of that
part of the charter relating to elections, our
citizens will be enabled to act, vote and run
for Office with full understanding of what they
are about, and what is required at their bands

AN INCIDENT At TIE BATTLE OF BrENA VISA
The funeral Grafton pronounced at Salem.
Mass. by Hon. C. W. Cpham contains an ac-
count Of the celebrated flag of truce which dur
ing the battle Of Buena Vista, was sent from
Santa Anna to Gen. Taylor. The account was
derived from the lips CT the late President, and
is as follows:
"As this incident Of the battle NAV possibly.
II the secret history of the war is ever fully re-
vealcd, be to"nd to she'd light upon it. / will
here record the facts related TO me by Gen. Tav-
Tor himself. During the height of the conflict IL
nag was seen approaching. The emergencies of
,he day, had 50 stripped him Of his staff, that
having no one to send he went himscIfto meet

speak Elt sh nor Spanish. the conference took

Taylor wants - Feeling somewhat indignant

some other illegimatc advantage, or at best. as
species OF trlflipg. gave an answer dictated

officer withdrew. Upon a mon cnt's reflection.

government had advised him that they had IA

might nave influence enough with his country
men To effect termination of the war and it
occurred to him as really designed to open Tie
way Tor negotiation, and perhaps. a paciiicaton
an object ever near to his heart. He rode
over the fields iii search OF Gen. Wool. and made
known the circumstance to him. and suggested.
iinot too great p rsonal exposure, the expe-
cheney OF his carrying a flag to The Mexican
lines to ask an explanation of the message.
To send an officer Of rank. character and 20

be so regarded, of his blunt and summary an
swcr. Gen. Wool readily and CALAMITY under

but the fire of the Mexican batteries could not
again be stopped, and no further parley took
place. The next morning, when Col. Bliss was
sent with flag to the Mexican head quarters,
he was requested to ascertain what had been
intended by the message of the previous day.

growing out Of the disbursement of the funds
referred to in this report be settled by the pro-

| We take the liberty, without the authors
knowledge, Of publishing the following frank
and manly letter, virtually Withdrawing the
charges against Gov. r. some weeks previous

due to Col. Robertson than to the other party
that this letter should go before the people of
Minnesota and it is no disgrace or humiliation
to any man to acknowledge wrong in himself
when convinced Of the fact. On the contrary,
it shows a frankness and moral courage which
men do not always possess. We trust, howe
yer, that our old editorial antagonist has learn

and paying out the funds under them in which
was Influenced by no personal or improper
motive and in view Of the prejudice thereby ex-
cited against you as a man OF character. be-
leve it to be but an act of simple justice to you
and myself to say, in an explicit manner and
before leaving this city to return to Minnesota,
that the testimony in the late Investigation of
your official conduct in that regard, satisfies
me that you have been fully acquitted Of having
been actuated in said treaties or payments 10y
corrupt or fraudulent designs, and cheerfully
say that in my opinion, after a full cOnsidcra-

case, that no stain rests upon your character
! in these transactions as a man of integrity.

with what believed to be q violation of law,
about which. / am aware: diverse opinions are

An apostrophe to aportiOn Of the remains Of a
human being. found on the river bank at
Point Pleasant, in. Virginia, near the spot
where the slain were buried, who fell in the
Virginia ranks in the celebrated battle, COM
manded by Gen. Andrew Lewis on the part
of Virginia, and by King Cornstalk on the
part of the Indians, on the memorable 10th
of October, IVA.
Thou sacred remainsl Who viii lay
claim to thee on the great day Of Judg-
ment, when the grave and the ocean
shall be required to give up the dead,
when every constituent portion of hu-
man beings shall be gathered to its
parent stock to form a perfect being, To
appear at the bar of God, to render an
account of the deeds done in the body!
Yes, who will claim thee?
Thou sacred relicts, once the pride
and ornament of one of natures noble
men, was no doubt cut down in the
pride and bloom of manhood, when
hope was highest, when the future
painted to thy Imagination long lie and
usefulness. When the war bugle re-
sounded through Virginia, announcing
the murder of the borderers by the
tomahawk and scalping-knife, thou
perhaps, had darling wife, babe in
the cradle, father, mother, sister
who might fall sacrifice to Indian bar
barity, who spares no sex or condition.
and to secure to them peace and securi'
ty, thou buekled on the implements oi
war and rushed to the tented field de-
termined to risk life in so noble cause
but thou fell where thou metest the
enemy in bloody strife-long wilt thy
friends and countrymen remember thy
noble daring, they will erect a mouu'
ment more durable than brass, monu
ment in the hearts of each Virginlar
who shall recount the scenes OF tina
memorable day, and remember in graft
tude that thy life was sacrificed tha
thy friends might live in peace, wlthou
the dread of the presence OF the mur
derous Indian with an uplifted toma
hawk.
Oh that thou could'st have lived t.
have witnessed the savages retiring be
fore the spread of religion and the art
of civilization. That thou could'st hav'
lived to see them reduced to a mer'
nominal force, by their determination t.
remain an isolated race, despising tn
religion of the white man and the com
forts of civilization. Oh that thou wer
here to tell us what feelings swayed il
thy breast, when the all-exciting drum
aroused thee to action.
Thou descendant of the puritan faith
ers, the determination they eyinced c
encountering the perils of an ocean voy
age across the Atlantic. and being Gu
off by savages rather than live wher
they could not enjoy the freedom {
worshiping the living God in the man
ner desirable by them, now pervade
thy breast and thou determined to iv
in peace or die in its achievement.
Thou chivalrous Virginians, who fe
on that memorable day, thy countryme
will yet erect monument to commemt
rate thy heroic death. The names (
Col. Charles Lewis and Col. Flemin
will head the list of those who fell 0
that occasion, whose names will rise

the ground where they fell.
