G?JV\ ZJCHJUY TAYLOR.
He stards am >ng bU warrior men,
With foea beleagured round;
With each a hasty council holds.
"Wenait retrace our ground !"
Tia thus the cautious chiefs reply,
H> luctani and deajw?ndingly.
Calm ia the tone of him who now
The fate of all controls?
"We march! advance toward the fort!
Ye hare the nerve, the soul*!
In flight ia death : Men we will die
Beneath yon bi.d of liberty !"
Enough. Each warrior bows hia head,
That master will has spoken.
The lines ate charged?disordered?fled !
The leagutiog hosts are broken.
The fort is reached?the four-fold foe,
i As autumn leaves bewildered go.
Again he stands at Monterey !
O'er weary miles at last
His gsliant band have reached the mount,
Nerved by the glorioua past.
Beyond them frown* the rugged steep,
Upon their arrne the heroea sleep.
Each house a fort?each rough ascent
A barrier thrown by nature's hand,
Down from the horrid battlements!
In open field th' invading stand.
Hi speaks?they act! our eagle high
Screams forth the shiiek of victory.
Again?reduced?a noble few
Await th' uncertain shock.
Each pulse is calm, each heart is firm,
Firm as th' imbedded rock.
Well reck that few the approaching strife,
, Where one is matched with four for life.
Mad, as the raging tempest sweeps,
On dash their legions?on !
Th* unbroken lines repel the shock
Death fellows wide the gun.
Again their murderous legions near!
Again death checks their red career.
. And now combined?united?all
With about, with lance they nigh !
Loud peal the horrid notes of war?
) Swept down, onr eagles fly.
The day is lost?yet, list! a cheer !
??Ho! rally ! charge! our chief it near!"
The tida is tamed?the flowing gore
Of fleeing foemen streams around.
Dread, dread, the murMrous ordnance roar?
That matter spirit holds tho ground!
His presence as a spell hath wrought
The triumph which such valor bought
Untouched in death the hostile lie !
No plundering hanil profanes
The relics of the dead strewn there
Thick o'er the sanguine plaina.
Th' imploring wdunded claim a rare?
. Look in their midst?our chief is there.'
t flan of the iron heart and will!
Man of the Christian heart!
The conquering hosts are gathering still,
Bound with thee, ne'er to part.
From city fall, from prairie wide,
Comes sweeping on thy fame's proud tide.
Man of the age?in vain resist
The enviooe few tby glorious way !
Bright shall the blessed sunlight gild
Thy destined, honored, future day.
The nation claims thee, Hero, now !
Her civic wreath awaits thy brow.
New Albany, May 11, 1847.
THE MEMOIRS
OF
MAJOR GENERAL
ZACHARY TAYLOR.
Written expressly tor the National Whig.
Accordingly, next morning, (the 23d of
December) Colonel Taylor laid out a small
stockade work for the protection of a future
depot, and in order that he might be able to
move with the greater celerity, he deposited
the whole of his heavy baggage, including
artillery, &.C., at this point. After having
provisioned the command for three days,
and leaving behind Captain Munroe with
his Company, the pioneer pontoniers, 85
gick and disabled infantry, and a portion of
the friendly Indians, who alleged they were
unable to march any farther, he crossed the
Kissiinmee, taking as a guide the old Indian
who had been captured the day before, and
who accompanied the advance with great
apparent reluctance, in pursuit of the ene
my, and early the next day, (the 24th of
December,) reached Alligator's encamp
ment, situated on the edge of Cabbage Tree
Hammock, in the midst of a large prairie,
and in which, from the appearance of
things?there being other encampments in
the vicinity, and many evidences of slaugh
tered cattle?there must have been several
hundred individuals. At a small hammock,
at no great distance from Alligator's en
campment and surrounded by a swamp,
impassable for mounted men, the spies sur
prised an encampment, containing one old
man, four young men, and some women
and children. One of the party immediate
ly raised a white flag, when the men were
taken possession of and brought across the
swamp to the main body. Colonel Taylot
proceeded with an interpreter to meet them.
They proved to be Seminoles and professed
to be friendly. They stated that they were
preparing to come yi, that they had just
slaughtered a number of cattle, and were
employed in drying and jerking the same.
Thev also informed Colonel Taylor that
the Mickasukies, headed by A-vi-a-ka (Sam j
Jo;ie>) were some ten or l>velve miles dis
la it, encamped in a swamp, and that the}
were prepared lo fii(ht the Americans.
Although the Colonel placed but little
confidence in their professions of friendship
or their intentions of coming in, yet he h*'
no time to look up their women and chil
dren who had fled and conceeld themselves
?u the swamp, or to have encumbered him
self with them in the situation he then was
Accordingly, he released the old man, who
promised that he would collect all the wo-j
men and children and take them into Cap-'
tain Munroe at the Kissimmee the next
Jay- He also dismissed the old man, who
had acted as guide thus far, supplying his
place with the four able warriors who had
been captured that morning.
These arrangements being made, Colonel
Taylor moved forward under their guid
ance for the camp of the Mickasukies. Be
tween 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon of
the23d of December, Colonel Taylor reach
ed a very dense cypress swamp, through
which he was compelled to pass, and in
which the guides informed him he might
be attacked. After making the necessary
dispositions for battle, it was ascertained
that there was no enemy to oppose his
march. The whole army crossed over the
swamp and encamped for the night, the
hour being late. During the passage of the
rear, Captain Parks, who was in advance
with a few friendly Indians, fell in with two
of t*ie enemy's spies, about three miles dis
tant from the camp, one on horseback and
the other on foot, and succeeded in captur
ing the latter. He was an active young
warrior, armed with an excellent rifle, with
fifty balls in his pouch and an adequate pro
portion of powder. This Indian confirmed
the information which had been previously
received from the other Indians,and, in ad
dition, stated that a large body of Semi
j noles, headed by John Cohua, Co-a-coo
chee, (and no doubt, Alligator,) with other
chiefs, were encamped five or six miles from
Colonel Taylor, near the Mickasukies, with
a cypress swamp and a dense hammock be
tween them and the latter. The army
moved forward at day-light the next morn
ing, the 24th of December, and after march
ing five or six miles, reached the camp of
the Seminoles, on the border of another
cypress swamp, which must have contain
ed several hundred persons,and which bore
evident traces of having been abandoned in a
great hurry, as the fires were still burning
I and quanti ies of beef lying on the ground
unconsumed. Here the troops were again
| disposed of in order of battle, but no enemy |
appeared to oppose them. The command
crossed over this swamp about 11 o'clock
in the morning, and entered a large prairie
in its front, on which two or three hundred
head of cattle were grazing and a number
of Indian ponies. Here another young In
dian warrior was taken, armed and equip
ped as the former was. He pointed out a
dense hammock on the right, about a mile
distant, in which he said, the hostiles were
posted and waiting to give the Americana
battle.
( To he cantinMd.}
The whale ship Sarah Esther, bound to ihe
Pacific, has been seized by the Brazillian Go*
vernment, who were discharging her cajgo.?
The cause of her seizure was that she had put
into the Rio Grande, and sold a little oil to pay
charges. Fine chance, this, lor Mr. Minister
Todd to 'extinguish' himself.
Copperdom on Lake Superior is fast filling
up with inhaditants. Over 5000 speculators,
&.c. are wending their way there now.
In Bellows Falls, (Vermont) and in Centre
ville, (Indiana) there has been a newspaper
nomination of the Hon. Andrew Stewart, of
Pennsylvania, as a Whig candidate for the
Vice Presidency. Taylor, of course, for Pre
sident.
If a miss is as good as a mile, how many
young ladies does it take to make a league?
We think we could make a "league" with
one.
There are now in the Uuiversity of Virginia
460 students who pay, and 32 who are paid
for by the State. ,
A Baltimore man recently essayed to hang
himself three times and was cut down hy his
wife. The fourth time she let him hang, and
he cut himselef down by a great effort. He
is quite sane now.

In the last two months 16,000 foreigners
have landed at New York, and have paid each

bought for a hospital lor hick strangers. The
fund is ample for them and they are well taken
care of.
The aspirants for the Piesidency, says Preu

Mr. Polk has authorized his organ to say that
he hasn't the slightest idea ol a second tenn.
Mr. Calhoun has said that he wouldn't accept'
ih? Presidency except in obedience to a general
call of the people, and then only from a sense
of duty.
The Letheon put to a new v?e. The Boston
papers contain accounts of the hiving ot a
jwarm of bees, after the abstraction of their
whole supply of honey, by throwing the little
workers into a sound oblivion of what was go
ing on around them, for half an hour or so.?
This was done in Cambridge, near Boston, the
Lelheon being applied by injection into the
hive by a skillful hand.
The Washington Union, in noticing thf
fact that the Locofocoes of Montgomery county
in this State have nominated Gen. Taylor foi
ths Presidency, says that they are "too quick
upon the trigger." Undoubtedly, says Prentice,
the Polk men all consider the Taylor men "too
quick upon the trigger." Mr. Polk's friend
Santa Aua found the sume fault with the Tay
lor men at Buena Vista?he thought them "
quick upon the trigger."
On the 8th instant a large meeting wm held at the
Forge in New Kent county, Virginia, without dia
