The New York Exprfaa , of Thursday evening says: It being known that tee distinguished Captain now Colonel Bragg waa in town, an vnpromlu ainner was given him last evening by a fewgentltjmen at the Astor House, over which.

Intle mora' ffrape Capt. lsragg,"-and alluded at length to hia briilisnt, aorvice of the flying artillery at Boena Vista." Col. Bragg modestly rising, and m fome embarrassment said, it was well known, that he was .only a soldier, and that there fore no luting speech could be expected, fom htm in reply. For -whatever merit gentlemen chose to award bim, or what ever reputation, if any he had lintieservedjy, the whole or it ,wa"oue' TO ine Kirnr General under whom he served,- and to the soldiers in the service he commanded, nay more, for the brilliancy of that service he was indebted to tne training ot uie ia mented Ringgold and Ridgely, from whose hands he had received the corps, ia thai full efficiency that enabled it to immortal i7.e itself on tha perilous ana oiooay neiu oi Bnena Vista.

It is almost impossible lor you, gentlemen, be said to understand the ehar- acter of that man aa n commander of an army. Thete ia a resolution, A firmness, determination, tn his manner, anu in nis purposes, uiai go a great way in leaaing men to victory. It -was never better illos trated than on the Geld of Palo Alto. Hi told Major Brown, when he lelt him with a small force opposite Matamorss, Main tain your position. -I wUl not say I hope to be back, I shall fry to be back, but Iwhx be back on the lUtli. &peet mo then, and ' "maintain vour position. . Every body that knew him, knew that he wuuld be back again, if alive to come.' The army returned to Poi.a Isabel, as you know.

I here he sy, wrapped in his blanket, and sleeping. except when disturbed by officers asking fur orders. -Some -were anxious to ascer tain his intentions. ' Ilia only answer waa,.

When the War Department deemed it necessary, in order io form a column to Invade Mexico via Vera Crux to lake hia Regulars from him he was sural that Santa Anna would attack him. "I am! the weak point," he often said, "and I kr.ew he will attaek me.? But be determined' -to defend hia position, and in pjrderylies beat wsy to defend it, to advance '-Genefal has taken a hundred, l shall aai a thous- and. 'General Taylor kept well ii.forwweaJii of the enemy GeiieroTPys t the approach of the enemy t)y wool s ecituia, moved on to btuild, i&ea on Aeua Netiva. It was proposed atone time to meet the vnemy ' in advarn-e of Agua Neuva, but ast-ertnuiing by hia enpi neera that. their position could tie turned, he resolved to fall back to buena Vista, as the enemy approached him. Uuena Vistiri a oiiliiury pociiinn thai any soldier's eye would select for a defence lo no parti ii I ar person is the credit of its selection due, (or it has been said, that even a wo man picked it out as a place to, repulse an enemy.

It is said, also, that he node hit will , ' But he never shrank from his duty. "I may perieh,'! was histhooght, "but I will perish in maintaining the honor of my count ry! I have tn run s terrible risk in assuming the responsibility of rrin mkinj his onward m irch; but it is 'the only course that will save my army To stjy in Monterey was to be sacrificed by the overwhelming force of the enemy. To save, all, I must hers risk all!" The battle was fought, you know the re sult, but you never can know the influ. ence that the presence of General Taylor had upon the army. He alone, so it has seenied to me, could have inspired, by his presence every soldier in tW army, aa the Volunteer were inspired. The confidence in him was complete, fie had command ed Volunteers before and bad been succes ful with them. He had never surrendered. He had never been whipped; and the id-a got abroad that he never could be. .When mincevering my pieces athwait the gallies, 1 die this as an example of that confidence, I saw cloud 'if dust about two miles from me, I was painfully anxious.
