SucH was the laconic reply of the gallant
Zachary Taylor, to a "haUghty summons to
surrender" from that imperial coward, Gen.
Santa Anna, previous to the hard fought bat
tie of Buena Vista. Santa Anna, with a
powerful force of twenty-five thousand men.
threatened the brave little army under Tay-
lor, which amounted to only four thousand

tion. But the "hero of Palo Alto" was de-
