The Pony In Franz-,J osef Land.

At an early stage in our journey our
difficulties began. The pony broke loose
the second night out, and, unfortunate
ly, gorged herself with dried vegetables
These, together with dog biscuits and a
few pounds Of oats saved from the pre-
vious sledging, were her usual fodder,
owing to the lack of legitimate horse
food, which had quite run out more
than 10 months before. AS expected,
the surfeit of dried vegetables brought
on a serious illness, to remedy which
Armitage and l dubbed together the
small supply of pills which we had
with us. He produced, think, two va
rieties of pills, and had a number of
podophyllin; so we made up a dose of
90 in all, which l administered to our
invalid pony, mixed up in some frozen
fat from our frying pan. This 1 am
glad to say, had the desired effect of at
all events partly restoring her to health.

Mexican commander that he should
blockade that river until his own gov
eminent told him to quit; that If the
Mexican authorities could not control
their ferocious followers he would cross
the river and do it for them, and in
brief announced to friend and foe that
ne would "oarry the war into Africa. :"
Taylor was to make good his war
talk and did it in his first campaign.
When the Mexicans found the Ameri-
cans fortifying Matamoras, they moved
by roundabout course to attack Tey-
lor's base of supplies at Point Isabel, in
rear Of Matamoras. Leaving a garrison
at Matamoras, Taylor hurried to Point
Isabel, but the sounds Of firing at Mata-
moras alarmed him for the safety of
that post, and, again dividing his force,
he set out to return. He had but 2, 600
soldiers, and at Palo Alto found 6, 600
Mexicans drawn up across his pathway.
Boldly attacking, Taylor drove the enc
my and slept on the battlefield, but
when he started on his march next
morning found the Mexicans, re-enforc-
ed by 2, 900 men, in position at Resaca
de la Palma. One Of the Mexican gem
erals, who before night was Taylor s
prisoner, said eff had had sum Of
money in camp, / would have consider
ed it as safe as if at the City Of Mexico
/ could have bet any amount that no
10, 900 could have driven us.
Before the battle opened the sound of
firing at Matamoras showed TAYLOR that
there was no time TO lose. He attacked
the Mexioans and drove them inch by
inch until at last a timely and decisive
charge Of a squadron of cavalry, backed
by an infantry column, captured the
Mexican batteries. The stroke was fol
lowed by rush Of the whole American
line. Routed at every point, the Mexi-
cans retreated to their lines around
Matamoras and were actually driven
into the river by American bayonets.
The storming Of Monterey by gallant
American soldiers under the eye of this
gray haired leader was another brilliant
stroke of arms Then came Buena Vista,
where odds of four to one did not appall
the old hero. 1t was at Buena Vista
that Taylor insisted upon fighting when
younger men eounseled retreat 1t was
there, also, that he sent word by an aid
to Santa Anna when the naughty die
tator summoned him to surrender and
save his army from slaughter, General
Taylor never surrenders. +" On that field
he was urged by his officers to avoid ex-
posure of his person and with laugh
he said he wanted to give his favorite
horse a taste Of battle, because che
missed the fun at Monterey.
The battle went against Taylor the
first day at Buena Vista. Urged again
by his officers to retreat, the old hero
said: "Noi III never pass my wounded
aliyeW Next morning the battle was
begun by the Mexicans with vigor. Tay
lor rode up and down the line burning
with the fire of Napoleon. In every
crisis he was on hand, and it was the
genius, the courage and the bulldog
readiness of this veteran commander
that won the battle of Buena Vista, de-
stroying forever tho Mexican army of
the west. GEORGE l.. KII4MER.

duties called him, won the second hon
ors of the great conflict at the age of 81.
Both were older than the present com
mander of the army, General Nelson A.
Miles.
AS this is an age for worshiping
young blood in active life it is worth
while to glance at the careers of the
graybeards Scott and Taylor in their
Mexican campaigns. The climate of
Mexico was against every northerner,
old Or young but those hardy veterans
passed the ordeal equal to any, and Scott
lived to command the army 10 years
after peace was declared. He was 10
when the civil war broke out in 1861
and directed affairs until the armies
were set in the field.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1898-05-07

Thirty years passed between the war
of 1912, where Scott won glory in the
flush of young manhood, and the Next
can war. Meanwhile there had been lit
tie chance TO perfect himself in the art
of war beyond what could be learned
from books. Scott the soldier, or at
least the general, was a self trained
man, but when he took up the problem
of marching an army from the gulf to
the capital of Mexico in the heart of
that ancient state, he had such grasp
that there was scarcely halt in prog
ress. Between April and September he
fought his way through the valley of
Mexico and planted the stars and stripes
upon the citadel which marked the size
of the hall of the Montezumas,
When he sat down before Vera Cruz
in March, he was urged to force the
fighting. The place was very strong by
nature and art and well manned. Scott
said that he would take it with the loss
of less than 100 men. He did take it in
less than a month. There were some
short, sharp passages at arms which
showed the temper Of the American sol
diers and sailors, and when Scott sent
in his demand for surrender the Mexi-
can leader knew that discretion was the
better part of valor and gave in.
At the next stage of the great game
Scott was as bold as he had been eau
tious at Vera Cruz. His march to the
City of Mexico was blocked at Cerro
Gordo by strong line Of batteries and
troops covering the main road and rest
ing upon the heights at Cerro Gordo.
The position was flanked by mountains,
making it difficult to attack at any
point except the end of the line. This
would compel the Americans to APP
proaoh with slender columns, and even
should they win the Mexioans could re-
tire and hold up their enemy at the next
pass. The heights of Cerro Gordo and
the fortified mound of FL TELEGRAPH at
the other end of the Mexican line were
the strongholds which must fall before
the Americans could march ON to the
Mexican capital.
The Mexican leaders at Cerro Gordo
looked we'll to their front line and the
ground around it, for they took it for
granted that Scott would mass his
troops and storm that point. They gave
no thought to the mountain which lay
along their flank stretching to the cita-
dels in the extreme left. In fact, it was
not dreamed of for moment that any
army would attempt to march over the
great wilderness barrier for the purpose
Of attack. But this is exactly what
Scott accomplished. Making feint of
preparations to force the passage at the
head of the Mexican line, he sent de-
tachments over the mountains to meet
at given point and attack the heights
on the Mexican left, the fall of which
would carry everything.
The plan of attack adopted sounds
well if one leaves out of account the en-
envy. What if the Mexicans intercepted
the detachments while scattered through
the mountains or, with the Americans
divided and separated by miles of noun
famous country, rushed upon the col
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1898-05-07

the civil war.
But Scott was equal to the heaviest
direct attacks. When he found the cita-
del of Chapultepeo, at the gates Of the
City of Mexico, barring his march, he
attacked with the readiness Of Ma
poleon. Not that he began a reckless
and bloody campaign without warrant.
The season was getting late and the
time had come to push things 1t looked
as though Chapultepeo was commanded
by the heights wherein stood I'll Molinos
del Rey, q collection Of strong stone
buildings used as a fortress by the Mex
leans. This was carried by some sharp
fighting, which, although it produced
no definite result, inspired the American
soldiers to deeds of utmost daring.
After the affair at Molinos del Rey
Scott held an informal council to discuss
the best method of attacking the City
Of Mexico, which lay within sight be-
yond the lofty height of Chapultepec.
There were roads around Ohapultepec
leading to various gates of the city, and
the officers, including the engineers
who had studied the ground, all, with
one exception, presented plans Of attack
which would leave Chapultepeo to the
last. Some would march to storm one
gate and some another. When all had
spoken, the old hero said i'll effect,
Gentlemen, we'll storm Chapultepec
first, then look to the gates. His plan
was carried out with a sublimity Of
daring never surpassed, and Chapultepeo
fell before the American army after a
few hours fighting Chapultepec was
the key to the City of Mexico, and, al
though there was some resistance when
the Americans appeared at the gates,
the audaoity and irresistible vigor of
the attack on the heights paralyzed the
defenders.
If Scott ended the war with the yigor
of mature manhood, Zachary Taylor

mountain passes through which the col
umn dehled and piloted the troops on
their march. Stonewall jackson was
with the army then also, and it is easy
to believe that the veteran Scott's tao
tics at Cerro Gordo were the models for
the flank attacks so often used by these
able leaders Of the Confederacy during
the civil war.
