Bragg saw them approaching, and fearful from the overwhelming number, that he might lose his pieces, prepared to take another more de. fensive position. The eagle eye of the gallant Capt.

But delighted as the scene and its pleasures are, our armyshould not rest here longer than to refresh their tired bodies and repair the damage of the hard service on the sandhills of Vera Cruz, and of the march from the sea shore.

A writer in the "Buffalo Couriir," tejlls the follo wing anecdote of a horse. The incident occurred in a town adjoining that City : I j 44 A bulcher, my neighbor, recently went to a pasture Where the family horse was usually turned, when idle, to get a calf which he had purchased for slaughter. Finding difficulty in otherwise; catching him, he set a large bulldog upon the calf, which soon brought him to the ground, uttering most piteous cries. The horse, whichMill now had seemingly paid no attention, aroused by the cries of distress, no sooner per ceivedthe perilous situation of his helpless com panion, than with his ears leered, jaws distend ed, mane and tail erect, he hastened to his renet i u ti The dfig still continued his hold, despite the i yield their Capital without soldiers would run riot in the luxurious abundance of Jalapa. Onwafd, onward, must be the cry. Continual activity is the true. secret of military discipline. Sol diers are always happier, and imore obe dient and docile under the excitement of a march, than when in camp junder the dominion of idleness and ennui. There is no reason why our army should stop for any: length of time at Jalapa. The sum mer in this high region is mile and tem perate, the road is level and beautiful, and thecountry through which it passes is fer tile and productive. In ten days our army could march from Jalapa to the city of Mexico. Here, we think, the enemy would offer no resistance, the city not admitting of any effective defence against artillery.
