That is to say the American losses were
fifteen per cent. or one-third more than
those Of the European armies. At Buena
Vista General Taylor estimated the Next
can loss on the field at 1000 men, or
about twelve per cent. of the whole num-
Der admitted to have been engaged by the
Mexicans themselves. AS for hard fight
ing, all European history does not furnish
parallel to the constancy and bravery of
the Mexican division of Valencia, at the
battle of Contreras. The whole force of
1000 was literally destroyed in the tracks
where it stood, and the division, as mill
tary organization, ceased to exist. Alto
gether. these comparisons show that none
of the European battles are as steadfastly
contested as those Of the New World, and,
as observed by contemporary, that the
old weapons of warfare, even in Mexican
hands, are more destructive than the new
and much boasted "weapons ofprecision'
in those of the French. Their efficiency
is greater in the mystery that surrounds
them than their effects in the feld.-N.

NOBLE JOHN LowTH.-The conduct
the noble, self sacrificing conduct-of John
Lowth, in reference to the nomination of
Commissioner, deserves more than pass
ing notice. When the vote was being tax
en- for that officer, and when John had re-
ceived ninety-six votes, the highest on the
list. and was within three votes Of nom
nation, he arose and magnanimous y with
drew his name in favor of Mr.. Fleck, the
nominee. This was SO unselfish and ex-
hibited such marked traits of noble Irish
character, that the members could not be
restrained, and one general shout of bravo
arose from the vast crowd. Members
flocked around Mr. Lowth, and with ex-
pressions that meant more than words
could express, ASSURED MIN that he should
not be forgotten lie m'H not be forgotten
So long as there is a spark of manhood
left in the Democratic party, John Lowth
wiW be -emembered, and suitably reward
ed. ohm appreciated the importance of
hang the Scandinavian portion of our
population represented on our ticket, and
he sacrificed his own ambition for the good
of bis party. Again, say we, John Lowth
shall DE remembered Madison Patriot.

Daily Times.
The article on which we remarked, on
Monday, appeared first, we believe, as a
communication in the Waterman, without
note or comment. The Patriot copied it,
and endorsed it warmly which we did
not wonder at. No more do we wonder
that 1t suits the Times, which not only
repeats the articles abusive epithcts against
the Grand-Jury System, but invents a lot of
its own. Certainly we should not expect the
Patriot and the Times to favor the Grand
Jury System but to suppose that the rest of
the community will 90 for breaking it up, is
another thing altogether. They are a great
deal more likely to say they see stronger
reasons than ever for its continuance. The
Grand-Jury System viii not be disturbed in
Vermont, SO long as the Patriot and the
Times oppose it.
The Times is down on the Grand-Jury
system as a whole, and the Chiueqden Coun-
fy G~rand-Jury in particular. Not having
the fear of the TINES before its eyes, it has
indicted the Directors of the State Agricul-
tu1al Society for aiding and abetting ''Horse-
trotting' for prizes, or purses made up, or
valuable reward of some sort, against the
Statute in such case made and provided. Ev-
identity the Times thinks the oaths of Grand
Jurors and the Statutes of the State are to
be of no account, if there isa Horse-trot' in
the case. 1t says The State Agricultural
Society is OF more interest and value to the
welfare and prosperityo OF Vermont than forty
thousand Grand Juries." The logic of the
Times runs this way: No prizes for speed
offered, there will be no horse-trots-no horse
trotS. there will be no horses. and no State
Far, and no Agricultural Society. and no
Agriculturo-argal, the Grand Jury of Chit
tenden County, orfnding a bill as their oatbs
required, were a set of ninnles and block
heads-deadly enemies to tle peace and good
order OF the community, to the agricultural
interests of the State in general, and to the
interests of Burlington in particular.

RELICS OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN

RELICS OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.-The &C
counts furnished by Lady Franklin's discov-
ery vessel which has returned from the Arc
tic regions, possess a melancholy interest.
Sir John appears to have died at an early
date, nearly a year before the ships were
abandoned. There must have been terrible
suffering among the Inflated band before
thew Law down to die on the ice of the fro
zen zone.
Many deeply interesting personal relics of
the expedition were found on the Western
shore of King Williams Island, and others
were obtained from the Esquimau1, whe
stated that after the abandonment, one ship
was crushed in the ice and sunk. and the
other was forced on shore, where she re-
mains.
The Fox was unable to penetrate beyond
Bellot Straits, and wintered in Brentford
Bav. The search included the estuary of
Great Fish river, and the discovery of 800
miles of coast line, uniting the former ex-
plorations, was performed by sledge journeys
during last spring. Minute and interesting
details of the expedition are published. Sew
eral skeletons of Franklin's men, large guam
titles of clothing, &c, and a duplicate record
up to the abandonment of the ships were
discovered.
