=. Mr. RAYNER AND HIS ORGANS.
MEssRs. ED1roRs What has become of the advo-
r. where. where Oh wherei have they gomez g
rs Where is the letter ySu have so repeatedly called
for? We have found out where " keeling is, and
who wrote tkot preface y. to Mr.. Rayner's speech
And while we agree with the Juvenile Editor ct the
Register that the cry no longer Is q" who struck Bill
Nv Patterson" OF, .V no wrote the Junus letters!
still should like to know where the letter is, and
where are Mr.. Rayner's advocates?
1t was kind of expiring KICK, that, which the
Star Tor as a correspondent of yours suggests,
sGalary ~ made in late issue on the question OF
the Barringer and Rayner affair." But the effort
failed: and YOU having followed up your exposition
Of that shameless piece of fraud, the Hon K. Ray
ner is cleft alone in his gLory"-with Mr. Barrihger.
Why is the Register silent on that matter! except
to keep company with the GGtdra. Because the
nation to the Presidency, that surely is no reason
why the Register (of departed mediocrty) should do
too!
But yesterday the of Cesar might have stood against
Now lies he there and poor do him reverence
But that is not the worst You remember, gen
tletnen, how Mr.. Rayner denounced President PIERCE
as "Pin,p," &C., and his Cabinet officers as sec
en- sohlpt cu7s p" lam sure you will never forget
that. Well what do we find now, and WHAT'S the
object OF it. in the GALAXY and also in the Register
(of departed, &C., l)--the following paragraph;
IAN AMERICAN SoLDIER.-Most providentiaiiy at
that moment Taylor arrived with Davis (I0n. e/ct-
teryo,s Daris) Mississippi rifiemen and Mays dra-
goons. The former barely stopped an instant for
the fill their canteens, then fastened to the
field, Boiling with rage, Oacis :@lled on the Iha'-
ana UoIuRteers to form behind that acdW pointing
to his men, and attoaaee against their enemy Their
colonel Bowles, the tears streaming down his face
finding all his appeals frutess, seized musket, md
joined the Mssippians as a private lime couid
not be lost Ampudia was close upon them; DGUlS
formed and adoanced aoith steady tread against
body more than tire times his strength. rain OF
balls poured upon the Mssis$ippians, but no man
pulled a trigger till sure his mark. Then those
deadly rifles blazed, and stunned the Mexican ad-
vance. 4 ravine separated them from the enemy;
Darts gaze the cord, and, aoih cheer, DOZEN thFy
rushed md up the other side; then Forming hasttty,
Nth one a,ctut rozley they shattered the Aerica''
head, and drore them back to cocer."
What can be the meaning of the foregoing IN the
Raleigh organs of the Hon. h. Rayner? Is the
" Hon Jefferson Davis OF the above not the same
Davis composing part OF President Plerces
Cabinet? Is it possible that the above Jet: D0r1s
is the one denounced By NJ. Rayner as "wHIPT
Curl" In Heavens name is he the one? Oh
shame where is thy blush And why this cruel
rebuke from the Star and the Register?
This is the unkindes cut of all!
Messrs Editors l do not counsel the support of
what is wrong in any man. | would have all men
to do right and to restrain its violation in all emer
gencies Bat add to the sins of omission those Of
comm ssio,a-to neglect opposing restraint to the
preparation of g wrong and outrage nay, to en-
courage ito be of the first to throw the stone
is scorse than ingratitude strong than traitors
steel"
"He their friend, kind and just to them
And now, when the remembrance of his course to
his opponents in the late campaign must bring re-
morse; when overwhelmed by defeat-hs bright vi
thin afrthe bowls of his ours in hrs ears for the
kennels of the whipped" ones-the Pope still alive
the Irish not yet driven into the sea- Small Pc
tatoes" to speak commercially firm, and in great
letter yet demanded, and the question
at issue between Messrs. Rayner and Barringer not
half forgotton--anaidst aItthis, that danning para
graph is produced In the anguish of his SOUL well
may Mr.. Rayner cxcaim Save from my Triends.'
In addition to the base iRgrutitalde of these or
gans of Mr. Rayner's there is an amount of hypoc-
rsy truly disgusting land added to that, there is
gross falsehood or two. Accompanying the above
is the following: "
"a BATTALION OF IRISH DEsERTERs CAPTURED
the parley, one Mexican battery |
continued its fire upon our troops This was the
eighteen and twenty four FOUNDER battery of the
battalion of San Patricio, composed of 1rishmen
desertersl from ranks, and commanded by an
Irishman named Riley"
1t was under pretence of showing up the Irish |
that Mr.. Rayner's friends of the Star and Register
inserted that picture Of jeff Davis Mr.. Rayncrs
g whipped cur" The above paragraph is false in
fact is proved by the following, which l clip |
from the South Side Democrat, and the Star and |
Register must might haze known it. In refer
ence to the charge that Riley ,Irishnan, and
that the Regiment he commanded was composed !
wholly of Irish, we have the following; and in JUS
nations composing army in that great struggle
the SANDER ought to be at corrected:
" That affair was settled in the last Congress- |
1t turns out that Riley was not an 1rishman but
native American, like Arnold. And who command |
ed the force "a majority of which were 'foregners
that conquered the traorous regiment, fighting the

proved that he Woodward deserter. What |
is the testimony of Mr.. Buter- of South Carolina
In the debate IN the Senate, in interrupting Mr.
Weller of California he aid that Riey's regiment
had shot down his own corps, and when the Off 4
GERS were laid low, the flag of the Palmetto reg-
ment was tied around an Irishman named Leonard I
and by him carried triumphantly through the fight
Gen. Shields stated that those of Reys regiment
who survived thebatt were taken prisoners by his
command. His aid-de-camp, by his order went
around and ascertained their names and places of
