T H 12 MEMOIRS
or
major general
ZACHARY TAYLOR.
Written expressly lor the National Whig.
While the squadron of the first dragoons
was detached on this service, a large body
of the enemy was observed to concentrate
on the extreme left of the American line,
apparently with the view of making a des
cent upon the hacienda of Buena V isla
where General Taylor's train and baggage
were deposited. Lieut. Colonel May was
ordered to the support of that point with
two pieces of Captain Sherman's battery
under Lieut. Reynolds. In ihe meantime
the scattered forces near the hacienda, com
posed in part of Majors Trail and Gorman s
commands, had been to some extent or
ganized under the advice x>f Major Mon
roe, chief of artillery, with the assistance
of Major Morrison of the volunteer staff,
and were posted to defend the position.
Before the cavalry had reached the hacien
da, that of the enemy made its attack, and
was handsomely met by the Kentucky and
Arkansas cavalry under Colonels Marshall
and Yell. The Mexican column immedi
ately divided?one portion sweeping by
the depot where it received a destructive
fire from the force which had collected
there, gained the mountain opposite undei
a fire from Lieut. Reynold's section?the
remaining portion regaining the base of the]
mountain on the left. In the charge at
Buena Vista, Col. Yell fell gallantly at the
head of his regiment, and also Adjutant
Vaughan of the Kentucky cavalry, a young
officer of much promise. Lieut. Colonel
May, who had been rejoined by the squad
ron of first dragoons, and by portions of the
Arkansas and Indiana troops under Lieut
Colonel Roane and Major Gorman, now ap
proached the base of the mountain, hold
ing in check the right flank of the enemy,
upon whose masses crowded in the narrow
gorges and ravines, our artillery were doing
iear.ul execution.
"^he position of that portion of the Mexi
can army which had gained the rear of the
American lines, was now very critical, and
it seemed doubtful whether it could regain
the main body. At this moment General
Taylor received from General Santa Anna
a message by a staff officer, desiring to know
what General Taylor wanted ? General
Taylor immediately despatched Gen. Wool
to the Mexican General-in-Chief, and sent
orders to cease firing. U|?on reaching the
Mexican lines, Gen. Wool could not cause
the enemy to cease their fiie, and returned
without having an interview with General
Santa Anna. The extreme right of the
enemy con inued its retreat along the base
of the mountain, and, finally, iu spite of
every effort to prevent it, effected a junc
tion with the remainder of the Mexican
army
During the day, the cavalry of General
Minon had ascended the" elevated plain
abort Saltillo, and occupied the road fiom
the city to the field of battle where they in
tercepted several Americans. Approaching
the town they were tired upon by Captain
Webster, from the redoubt occupied by his
company, and they then moved off towards
the eastern side of the valley, and oblique
ly towards Buena Vista. At this time
Capt. Shover moved rapidly forward with
his piece, supported by a miscellaneous
command of mounted volunteers, and fired
several shots at the cavalry with great ef
fect. They were driven into the ravines
which led to the lower valley, closely pur
sued by Captain Shover, who was further
supported by a piqce of Captain Webster's
battery, under Lieut. Donaldson, which
had advanced from the redoubt, supported
by Captain Wheeler's company of Illinois
volunteers. The enemy made one or two
efforts to charge the artillery, but was final
ly driven back in a confused mass, and he
did not again appear upon the plain.
In the meantime the firing had partially
ceased upon the principal field. The ene
my seemed to confine his efforts to the pro
tection of artillery. General Taylor had
left the plateau for a moment, when he
was recalled thither by a very heavy mus
ketry fire. On regaining that position, the
General discovered that the American in
fantry, Illinois and second Kentucky had
engaged a greatly superior force of the
enemy?evidently his reserves?and that
they had been overwhelmed by numbers.
The moment was most critical. Captain
O'Brien, with two pieces, had seived this
heavy charge to the last, and was finally
obliged to leave his guns on the field?his
infantry support being entirely routed
Captain Bragg, who had just arrived from
the left, was ordered at once into battery
without any infantry to support him, and
at the imminent risk of losing his guns,
this officer came rapidly into action?the
Mexican line being but a few yards fiom
the muzzle of his pieces. The first dis
charge of the canister caused the enemy to
hesitate, and the second and third drove
him back in disorder, and saved the day.
The second Kentucky regiment which had
advanced beyond supporting distance in
this affair, was driven back, and closely
pressed by the enemy's cavalry. Taking
a ravine which led in the direction of Capt.
Washington's battery, their pursuers be
came exposed to his fire, which kooii check
ed and drove them back with loss. In the
meantime the rest of the American artillery
had taken position on the plateau, covered
by the Mississippi and third Indiana regi
ments, the former of which reached the
ground in time to pour a fire into the right
flank of the enemy, and thus contributed
to his repulse. In the last conflict the
American army had the misfortune to sus
tain a very heavy loss. Col- Hardin of the
lirst Illinois, and Col. M'Kee, and Lk'Ut.
Colonel Clay, of tl e second Kentucky re
?^iinents, fell ut this lime gallantly leading
their commands.
No further attempt was made by the ene
my to force General Taylor's position.

I'KOM BROWNING'S RUSSIAN ANTHOLOGY.
O'er ihe wide earth yon torch of heavenly light;
Its splendor spreads, and God's | roud work unveiU;
My a iul enraptured at the marvellous sight, ?
Unwonted peace and joy and wonder feel*;
And with uplifted thoughts of tcstacy,
Exclaim, "How great must their Creator be !"
Or, if a mortal's power could stretch so high?
If mortal sight could reach that glorious aun,
And looked undazzled at its majesty,
'Twould seem a fiery ocean burning on
From Time'* first birth whose ever flaming ray
Could ne'er extinguished be by Titoe's decay.
There waves of fire 'gainst waves of fire are daahiog,
And know no bounds; there hurricanes of flame,
As if in everlasting combat flashing,
Roar with a fury which no lime can tame;
Their molten mountains boil like ocean wave#,
And rain in burning streams the welkin laves.
But in Thy presence all is hut a spark,
A little spark; that wondrous orb was lighted
By Thy own hand, the dreary and the dark
Pathway of man to cheer?of man benighted:
To guide the march of seasons on their way,
And ( lace us in a paradise of day.
Dull night her sceptre sways o'er plains and hills.
O'er the dark forest and the flaming sea;
Thy wondrous energy all nature fills,
And leads our thoughts, and leads our hopes to
Thee.
How great is God ! a million tongues repeat
And million tongues re-echo, "God, how great!"
But now again the day-star bursts the gloom;
Scatters its sunshine o'er the opening sky;
Thy eye, that pierces even through the tomb,
Has chaised the,clouds, has bid the vapors fly,
And smiles of light descending from above,
Bathe all the universe with joy and love.
