THE BATTLE OF BUENA VISTA.
T-ifc Editors of the Republic :
1 all'iaion of Sir Henry L.
Bulwer. in his late brilliant. speech at Bl
tiskjre.totbe battle of Buena Vista, asso
ciated wiih thai of Aeineourt, induces me
to request lhe republication of the following
Icitets, written at the time. Many who have
read the narrative of that extraordinary e
vent have not an adequate conception of
tie consequences depending on the result.
During the war thirty letters were written
kjsie, and fourteen of them have just bn
republished io this city in pamphlet form.
11. M. BSACKKfBIDGE.
LETTER XII-
March, 1847.
The accounts from the seat of war in the
States of the Rio Grande are becoraiiig ev
ery day more seti us ; perhaps, I should say,
alarming. It is now placed beyond all doubt
thai Sauta Anna, instead of throwing him
self between the city ol Mexico and the
expected march of General Scott, has sud
denly advanced on General Taylor at Sal
tillo. We now seethe effect of weakening
the army of the Rio Grande, under the slip,
position that the Mexican commander could
stake no other military movement than of
covering the national capital. The Amer
ieao gentral, by extraordinary exertion, has
eolUcted all hi- disposable force at the
point where he can most advantageously ar
rest the march of Santa Anna ; but his di
vision does not exceed five thousand men,
sot more than half of them regulars, while
the Mexican army is not short of twenty
thousand, and by far the most formidable
tr yet embodied in that country. We
bave every confidence in General Taylor
and bis gallant officers and soldiers; be is
neof those whose resources of mind have
always been brought out by emergencies,
and always found equal to them ; but it must
be confessed, the odds, at present, are fear
fully against him.
It is said, that General Taylor has receiv.
borders (porhaps discretionary) both from
fbs War Department, and the commander-ia-chief,
to retreat to Monterey. This, 1 am
confident, he will never do. fie must meet
Santa Anna on the edge of the desert of three
auudred miles, which he is compelled to
doss, and he will make his stand at the ad
mirably chosen battlefield of Buena Vista,
which, according to the description of Cap
tain Hughs, is a defile just suited for any
army like that of General Taylor to defend
and to withstand the shock of an attacking
force four times its numbers. Hero is ex
xnly one of those cases where everything
must be put to the hazard of the die," or
eery thing must be lost.
Lt us for a moment consider the conse
quences of the retreat of Gen. Taylor to
Monterey, or of his defeat at Buena Vista.
'U Anna, once at Saltiilo. will find eve
rything necessary to refresh his troops, after
je ufferings and fatigues of their inarch.
Toe retreat of the American gem rl will be
bearded as a Tictory for Santa Anna, and
" ill cause the rancheros of New Loon,
raillaf and Tamaulipas, to rise en mtust.
General Urrta, it is said, is at the head ol
ten thousand men near Victoria, so tbst our
Uny will be shut up in Monterey, and all
jmunications cut off with the Rio Grande.
11 true, a portion of General Taylor's force
be detached to defend some narrow
Pbetweeu Monterey andSiltillo, and at
pt to oppose the adrance'of Santa Anna.
uiav not Mouterev be turned hv ITrres.
thus place himself in tha rear of that
"taebment, while a portion of the Mexican
nJ shall advance ia front 1 Although San-
Anna may not be able to transport bis ar
Ul ry, is it impossible for him to enter the
J of the Rio Grande with bis infantry
"d eavalrv. bv soma circuitous wav T I set
P o pretensions to being a military critic;
'wggestions are merely thrown out for
what they ars worth, ahd they may be worth
notbfng.- Bur 1 can eoncei? it now i hie
for & Anna, with his whole army, to en
ter New Leon and Tainaufipas-and the nc.
cesiary consequence must be, that all our
inililartr stores at Camargo and Matamoraa
roust fall into his hands. He will sweep lhe
whole Tullej of the Rio Grande and in all
probability will not stop there, but cross in
to Texas, now almost defenceless, there be-
ing no force at any point capable of oddo-
sing his progress. Admit that these ore
bare possibilities, they may become probs.
bilities, and probabilities may become real
ities.
The supposed retreat, or defeat of our ar
my, will change the whole face of the war.
Should either of these e rents take pUce,
(and such is' my confidence in General Tay
lor, that 1 firmly believe they will no'.,) then
the descent on Vera Cruz, and the march to
Mexico, under the commander-in-chief, will
have to be abandoned, and a retrograde
movement undertaken to the Rio Grande,
which cannot he effected without great dif
ficulty and delay.
Our whole country waits with breathless
anxiety the issue of the conflict between
General Taylor and Santa Anna. Ii is the
turning point of this war if our arms prove
succtrtful, there will be everything to hope,
and peace will hive been conquered ; but if
we fail, the prospect before us will be dark
and gloomy indeed.
LETTER XIII. THE BATTLE OF BCESA VISTA
AND ITS BESCLTS.
April, 1847.
Sir : We have at length authentic accounts
of the great battle fought at Buena Viu ;
it is certainly one of the most extraordinary
on record, and its consequences are even
more important than the event itself. These
are of such magnitude that Santa Anna nev
er would Jiave made his daring movement if
he hud not been .certain of success. Who
could have supposed that twenty thousand
men, under a high state of discipline, ami
perfectly provided with everything necessa
ry to constitute the army, cavalry, artillery,
and infantry, should be totally defeated by
two thousand five hundred regulars, and an
equal number of volunteers? Such an idea
certainly never entered the mind of any
Mexican, at lenst. It appears that his ar.
tny is entirely disorganized, and it is doubt
ful whether he will ev r be able to reach
San Luis with the fourth of those who mar
ched from that place. But the moral influ
ence throughout Mexico must be incalcula
ble -the Mexicans may now say as the sub
jects of Montezuma said of the Spaniards:
"The pods of the slraneers are stronger thai,
our gods.
The reliance of the Mexicans for the de
fence of the capital is destroyed and gone.
Had S-tnta Anna been successful against
Taylor, no other defence of the capital would
have been necessary ; the descent on Vera
Cruz would have been at once abandoned,
and our troops recalled for the purpose of
covering our own tro-itier. Instead ol be
ing broken and dispirited, the Mexicans ev
erywhere would have risen up in anus, and
perhaps would, for the first time, have ex
hibited a national spirit the contrary of
this effect lias been produced. It will re
quire a prodigious effort, and much time, to
organize another army ; and the graer part
will be new conscripts, if they can be dig-
nift.d een with i hat name, where there is
no voluntary enlistment, or fir and regular j
draft, but where lhe poor peasant is seized
by lorce, and driven, tied with ropes, to the
places of rendezvous, like a brute beast, to
be beaten, and broken into the trade of. war.
And now from Tmnpico to S iliuMo, from the
Sierra Madre tothe S -bii-e, the wr isov. r
all thai is necessary is to consolidate the con
quest of the beautiful country west of the Rio
Grande.
lean readily conceive the effect of this
uninterrupted series of successful military
events, and extraordinary battles, both on
the Mexican and the European tmnd. Tn
slumbering military might existing in our
republic, ready to be called forth by events,
must strike Europeans with amazement ;
and its secret lies in the Irei dom of our in.
stitutions the same which gave to Greece
and Rome their preeminence. One trait
has been exhibited in even a higher degree
than in Greece the emulation or rivalry
of states; and even of a higher kind than
that which was displayed at PUtea ami Mas
aibon ; Kentucky has vied with South Caro
lina, and Masssehnsetls with MissisUM'l
may the cherished remembrance long serve to
bind them together in fraternal affection I
The battle of Palo Alto and Resaca were
decisive as to the superiority or our srms,
especially of our artillery, and of the inferi
ority of the enemy in cavalry, whose effi.
ciency was so much overrstid. At Monter
ev, with evey advantage of numbers, walls,
and fortresses, they were lit rally crushed ;
and then, to crown all, at Buena Vista, 111
spite of the immense disparity, and the ene
my attacking, their army was annihilated 111
the open field Can it be possible that Mex-
ico will uot now sue for peace, and accept
any terms we may choose to dictate T I
have no doubt we shall soon hear of General
Scott making good bis landing at Vera Cruz,
and taking the Cstle of San Juan, wesnai
then hear the Mexican plenipotentiaries ad
vancing towards him with the olive branch,
before he taks up his line of march for the
AfiTi a Aztecs. Surelv thrv will not
invit bim Mo revel in the halls of the Mou
tezumas. .
it .n...t he admitted that Santa Anna, how
ever detestable bi character, has displayed
great military talent. He led his troops 10
battle under circumstances which, he was
well aware, would cause them to fight with
despe ration. They were not only filled with
confidence from their immense superiority
of numbers, but rendered desperate by hun-
ger and hope of booty, which ne nau prom,
ised them and which supplied the wshi o
higher motives of action, such as inspired
lk all ftaftaMa-ar avifrl W Ilia". Ii their had to
ww ante T
contend.- In the words of Byron t '
To' Assyrian cam down like a wolf on the plain
hut tha shepherd was prepared to receive
bint, and drive him back howling Jo the
desert. The sudden retreat of General a ay
lor from his advanced position to this chosen
battle-ground, no doubt unexpected, must
have had the effect of disconcerting the en
emy. Bv thus meeting him at the edge of
the desert, he availed himself, like a skilf.il
commander, of all the advantages of circum
stances. What events tho war may bring
forth, if it should continue, it is impossible
to foretell, but it is certain that the series
of victories which have been thus far a
chieved by him have not been surpass! in
our military history, while that of Buena
Vista stands unequalled.

COPT OF A LETTER FROM DR LEE.
New York, Feb. 5, 1849.
Mr Barry 1 have no hesitation in recommending
an article which I can, of my own personal knowl
edge, endorse us good ; and I therefore state with
confidence, that your Tricopberousjs what you claim
it to be an article for cleansing, preserving, beauti-
fytng and promoting tbe growth of tbe hair.
I find it to be tbe best remedy I have ever bad in
my practice for scald head, ring-worm, and diseases
which the skin is subject to.
T. A LEE, M. D.
The following testimonial is from Mr. Munn, ed
itor of the Scientific American. Comment on such
evidence is unnecessary.
New York, Feb. 24, 1849.
Barry's Tricopherous is an article that we take
pleasure in awarding the highest commendations.
We do not do it upuu the recommendation, of oth
ers, but from our own personal knowledge of its ef
fects upon tbe hair j wuile it tends to keep it healthy
soft and gloay, it also removes danruff.prevents grey
hair and invigorates itsgrowtn in a manner unequal
led by any other composition known to us. A per
son only needs to usv one bottle to be convinced of
this truth-.
