Dying Moments of Lieut.. Col, Henry
Clay, Jr.


The battle Of Buena Vista, which re-
suited in the complete victory Of 1000
American troops--principally inexper-
enccd volunteers, $1,000 Mexican
soldiers, Of the regular army, will long be
remembered with pride, even by those to
whom war in all its forms is abhorrent and
revolving. In spite Of unquestioned prin.
c,ple--notwthstanding deep.seated con-
viction that all war is madness and folly
of which the world will yet learn TO be
ashamed--there is something in our ma
ture which causes the blood to stir and
the eyes to fill with sympathetic tears, as
we read Of gallant selldevolion or call up
be fore the fancy such a scene as the artist
has depicted with historic fidelity.
1t was on the ever memorable 22d oil
February. that General Taylor left his
camp at Ssllillo. and advanced TO the po
sition where he bad determined TO await
the approach Of an immense Mexican
force under Santa Anna. The Mexicans
advanced in prodigious numbers, aud con.
ceiving themselves quite secure Of victory,
sent flag to General Scott, with mod
est proposal for "A surrender Mt discretion
! This was declined by the General in a
style OF truly Roman simplicity and
our army for some reason was even then,
confined 10 few ineffective movements,
which were soon interrupted by the ap.
proach Of night.
On the 23J, the main bettle--in which
the subject of our sketch was slain--wa;
| lost.
The Kentucky regiment, at first sta
tioned on the right, was transferred TO {
position near The centre Of the line, wher,
it met the iercest Of the onset. After
time, The M"xicans, who had gained tim,
by sending a AAg Of truce to ask Via
General TdyLor wonted?" obtained TEN
{ porary advantage; but charge, 10 which
the first Illinois regiment and M'Kee'
Kontuckians were foremost, drove them
back with great loss. A hot pursuit now
commenced, and our troops, forgetful o.
the Jisproportion in NUN bers between
themselves and The enemy. pressed on,
until the Mexicans rallied in overwhelm
ing force and drove them back in turn
A bloody fight took place in deep ravine
al the foot Of hill, and M'Kee and CLAW
fell, mortally wounded.
Lieut.. Coz. Clay was shot through the
thigh, and, being unable to stand, was
taken up and carried some distance by his
men but owing TO the steepness OF the
ascent, the difficulty became very great
as the enemy was pressing upon them il
great numbers. Calm and lully himscl
under these dreadful circumstances, Col
Clay,with generosity which deserves tC
be remembered by the side of Sir PhillI
Sidney's conduct on similar occasion
begged his brave fellows 20 leave him t
his fate, since otherwise the sacrifice O
the whole party was inevitable. AS the,
were about 10 comply. he gave his pistols
in charge TO one Of them, with message
for his father, "Tell him." said he, cha
used these TO the last ! They were hi
gift"
Here the enemy approached, and til,
men seeing the impossibility Of resistance
turned and fled and, looking back, be
( held their gallant commander fghlin,
with his sword as he lay. while the Mex
leans were stabbing him with their bay
onets.
