; TAYLOR AT BUENA VISTA

HOW HE DEFEATED SANTA ANNA
WITH ODDS OF FOUR TO ONE.

His Skillful Disposal of Troops to Take
Advantage of the Ground—The Victory
Demoralizcd the Mexicans and Insured
Scott’s Success.

[Copyright, 1890. by American Press Association]
U E N A V I S T A
W a s a romantic
battle. On the
American side it
was a n e v e n t
wholly unexpect-
ed. It was fought
without strategic
plan or relations,
and, moreover,
without orders
and without pro-
fessional justification. The bravery and
daring of Taylor alone on the one side and
the overweening confidence of the Mexican
leader, Santa Anna, on the other, brought
about the conflict. The result undoubted-
ly placed the American arms in Mexico on
the road to triumph.

When the Mexican war began in earnest
Gen. Taylor was in command of the south-
ern district of the western department,
charged with the defense of the Mexican
border, and had already fought his way to
Monterey, a hundred miles southwest of
the Rio Grande, and was preparing to
march promptly into the heart of Mexico.
By reference to a map it will be seen that a
:short route could be had by the invading
army from the coast at Vera Cruz to the
Mexican capital. Taylor advised the gov-
ernment to send an army there also, and
thus divide the enemy. The troops under
Taylor were in two columns, one under his
personal leadership and another small di-
vision of 3,000 new troops at Saltillo, west
of Monterey, under command of Gen. John
E. Wool. At the beginning of the year 1847

 

Taylor was at Victoria, about 100 miles -

southeast of Monterey.

At this time all the sea coast was in the
hands of the United States, and Gen. Win-
field Scott, the ranking offi {er of the army,
was off Vera Cruz under instructions to
take supreme command and carry out the
plan of campaign from Vera Cruz to the
City'of Mexico as had been suggested by
Taylor. This route was up the steppes
where the Mexicans had taken every pains
to fortify against the invasion of their capi-
tal, and Scott felt compelled to draw troops
from Taylor to strengthen his own com-
mand. After he had turned over his best
officers and men to Scott, Taylor repaired
to Saltillo to join his remnant to VVool’s
division, and he then had under his com-
mand in the valley of the Rio Grande a lit-
tle army of 5,400 men. Only a portion of
these had ever been under fire and but
about 500 were regulars. All Mexico was
filled with enthusiasm, and the dictator
quickly gathered an army of 20,000 of the
best troops for the national defense, and
marched to the valley of the Rio Grande to
expel the invader. \Vool, at Sultillo, was
isolated from all support, and Santa Anna,
with his overwhelming force, set out to
crush the little division of about 3,000 men.

Taylor’s remnant made a junction with
Wool just when Santa Anna had passed
beyond San Luis Potosi, and old “Rough
and Ready,” as his soldiers called him,
started out with his pitifully weak battal—
ions to engage the enemy. ‘Wool opposed
the desperate movement, and after advanc-
ing twenty miles the commander was in-
duced by his lieutenant to return to a
mountain pass which the latter had dis—
covered at Angostura. The place was an-
other Thermopylee. A narrow causeway
between steep mountain spurs on the one
side and impassable watercourses and ra-
vines on the other was the only read by
which the Mexican army could march for-
ward. Taylor deployed his men on the
mountain spurs and on the crests of the
ravines. The artillery was admirably post—
ed to protect the roadway and to sweep the
approaches over the plains in front.

NO SURRENDER.

On the 22d of Febuary Santa Anna drew
up in front of the position, and when he
saw the little line of battle before him he
sent the following very diplomatic note to
the American camp:

You are surrounded by 20,000 men and cannot,
in any human probability, avoid suffering a rout
and being cut to pieces with your troops; but as
you deservc‘considemtion and particular esteem,
I wish to save you from such a catastrophe, and
for that purpose give you this notice, in order that
you may surrender at discretion, under the assur-
ance that you will be treated with tho considera-
tion belonging to the Mexican character; to which
end you will be granted an hour‘s time to make
up your mind, to commence from the moment
that my flag arrives at your camp. \Vith this
view, I assure you of my particular consideration.
God and Liberty!

Axroxio Lopez DE SANTA ANNA.

Taylor did not need the hour’s tr ice, but
instantly sent back this brief reply:

Sin—In reply to your note of this date, sum-
moning me to surrender my forces, at discretion, I
beg leave to say that I decline acceding to your
request. With high respect. I am, sir, your obe-
dient servant, Z. TAvLon.

In honor of the day the Americans adopt-
ed the battle cry, “The memryy of \Vash-
ington,” and prepared to defend their
ground. Santa Anna spent the whole day
in vain atte npts to surround the pass, and
at night the mountain was alive with roam-
ing detachments of Mexicans who were at-
tempting to form a line around the little
camp. Fighting was kept up all along the
hillside, and Taylor’s men held their own.

That night was a busy one to the brave
commander. His supplies were at Saltillo,
ten miles in the rear, and were in danger
of being out off. He would be lost with-
out them, so he rode buck in person to give
efficient directions for their safety. When

SENDING A REPLY TO SANTA ANNA.
Gen. Taylor returned to the battlefield
next morning Wool was very despondent
and declared to his chief that it was all
over—the ground could not be held. “May
be so, general; we will see,” Taylor re-
sponded. In speaking of the affair after-
ward to an admirer who asked for a de-
scription of the battle, he said that he
knew at the time that the situation was
pretty bad, and he wished for a couple of
regiments more of regulars. He was aware
that Santa Anna had a very large force,
but he “didn’t stop to count the Mexicans.”

Very early on the second day, the 23d.

o--

 

the Mexican army advanced in three heavy
columns against Taylor’s right and left
flanks and center. The fighting was ter-
rific. Santa Anna made charge after
charge with infantry and cavalry, and was
received with showers of artillery missiles
and with bullets from riflemen, admirably
posted on the hillside. The. Michigan ar-
tillery could not be brought upon the field
for service, and Taylor’s batteries, com-
manded by Capts. T. W. Sherman, Bragg
and John Marshall Washington, in part
made up for the disparity in numbers. In
this general assault the American center

‘and right stood firm. Taylor exhibited

himself everywhere with the utmost dar—
ing, to inspire his followers.

When the combined assaults of the one-
my all along the line had come to an end
he hurried to the center, the key of the po-
sition, at the mouth of a gorge. The white
horse which the general rode that day for
the first time in battle attracted the shots
of the enemy wherever he appeared. Dur-
ing a lull in the storm of fighting, Taylor
sat with one leg over the pommel of
the saddle, bullets flying all around, and
an aid suggested that the white horse he
was upon made him too shining a mark
for the “greasers.” “Well,” said he cool-
ly, “the old fellow”—his new battle horse
-—“missed the fun at Monterey, and I want
to give him his share this time.”

Santa Anna now formed astrong column
of cavalry and artillery and launched it
forth on a most desperate charge against
the American center at the gorge, where
Taylor stood with his little band. For a
time the onrushing host carried everything
before them. The Illinois and Kentucky
troops composing the front line were over-
powered by the unequal masses hurled upon
them and were in danger of annihilation
from the bloodthirsty foe, who gave no
quarter after a summons to surrender.
Taylor quickly turned the guns of Wash-
ington’s battery upon the foe, and they
were hurled back with great slaughter and
in terrible confusion. The Mexican lancers
(mounted) were balked in their attempts to
fall upon the American cannon on the in-
accessible mountain sides, and their ranks

 

CHARGE OI“ MEXICAN LANCERS.

were torn unmercifully by the double
charges of grape that literally combed the
plains where those daring fellows rode as
fearless as the six hundred at Balaklava.
Seeing this. the Mexican infantry began to
waver. “Now,” said Taylor to Bragg,
whose battery stood near, “a leetle more
grape, captain.”

A little more grape all along the line (le-
cided the day. Twilight found the Mexi-
cans back in their tracks of the morning,
and Taylor held the battlefield.

The Americans had won a brilliant vic-
tory, but they did not know it. The Mexi-
cans had left 500 dead and mortally wound-
ed behind them on the battle ground, and
their repulse had been so unexpected and
so bloody withal that the high enthusiasm
which they had shown at the opening of
the campaign collapsed in a perfect panic
of dcmoralization. The true state of things
in the Mexican camp could not be known
at the American headquarters, however,
and some of Gen. Taylor’s o'lvisers coun-
seled a speedy retreat before Santa Anna
could recover from his stunning repulse
and gather vigor for another blow. Gen.

Thomas L. Crittcnden, of Kentucky, who '

was an aid on Taylor’s staff, is authority
for the statement that \Vool proposed that
the army retire to a new position in the
rear. Taylor responded, with his usual
readiness, “No! I will never pass my
wounded while I live.”

The wounded were then being carried to
the rear by the painfully slow pieces of
stretcher bearing, and a retrograde move-
ment, to be of any value in the emergency,
must be so rapid that the wounded would
fall behind the troops and become. prison-
ers. Taylor did not retreat, and in the
morning it was discovered that the dictator
and his grand Mexican army of defense
had fled. The prestige of victory was to
the side that held the battlefield, and the
effect of Taylor’s pluck was that Santa
Anna’s army deserted him.

The American loss was about seven hun-
dred men in all. Santa Anna lost wo
thousand killed and wounded, and large
numbers of his soldiers threw down their
arms when the battle went against them
and never returned to their ranks. Two
weeks after Taylor’s victory at Buena Vista
Scott started on his campaign towards the
capital. Vera Cruz, the invincible, fell into
his hands on the 23th of March, and not
until two weeks later, at Cerro Gordo, did
he meet Santa Anna, who now had noth-
ing but militia with which to defend his
capital. Scott pushed the hapless advent-
urer from citadel to citadel, where, though
strong in natural advantages and fortifica-
tions, he \ 'as weak in troops.

THE ANGELS OF BUENA VISTA.

thile the Mexicans were generally cruel
and vindictive, some instances of kindli-
ness to their American foes have been re-
corded. The heroic character of the sol-
diery was much admired, as may be seen
in Santa Anna’s language to Gen. Taylor
before the battle. On his long march
through northern Mexico Gen. \Vool found
the citizens hospitably disposed, and a
touching incident of sympathy for the un-
fortunate foeman is treated by the poet
\Vhittier in “The Angels of Buena Vista,”
where the heroine, Zimena, a young Mexi-
can woman, turns from the body of her
soldier husband, who fell under Santa
Anna, to give succor to a dying boy from
Taylor’s army.
Close beside her, faintly moaning, fair and young,
a soldier lay,
Torn with shot and pierced with lances, bleeding
slow his life away;
But, as tenderly before him the lorn Zimena, knelt,
She savF’the northern eagle shining on his pistol
belt.

With a stifled cry of horror, straight She turned
away her head;

With a sad and bitter feeling looked she bac k
upon her dead;

But she heard the youth‘s low moaning, and his
struggling breath of pain,

And she raised the cooling water to his parching
lips again.

Whispered low the dying soldier, prés‘sed her hand
and faintly smiled:

Was that pitying face his mother‘s? did she watch
beside her child?

All his stranger words with meaning her woman‘s
heart supplied; '

With her kiss upon his forehead. “Mother!“ mun
mured he. and died.

A Lesson in Love.

Tourgenieff, the Russian writer, says: I re-
turned home from the chase, and wandered
through an alley in my garden. My dog
bounded before me. Suddenly he checked
himself, and moved forward cautiously, as if
he scented game. I glanced down the alley,
and perceived a young sparrow with a yel-
low beak, and down upon its head. He had
fallen out of the nest (the wind was shaking
the beeches in the alley violently), and lay
motionless and helpless on the ground, with
his little unfledged wings outstretched.‘ The
dog approached it softly, when suddenly an
old sparrow with a black breast quitted a
neighboring tree, dropped like a stone right
before the dog’s nose, and with rufiled plu-
mage, and chirping desperately and pitifully,
sprang at the opening, grinning mouth.

He had come to protect his little one at the
cost of his own life. His little body trembled
all over, his voice was hoarse, he was in
agony—he offered himself. The dog must
have seemed a gigantic monster to him. But,
in spite of that, he had not remained safe in
his lofty bough. A power stronger than his
will had forced him down. The dog stood
still, and turned away. It seemed as though
he also felt this power. I hastened to call
him back, and went away with a feeling of
respect. Yes, smile not! I felt a respect for
this heroic little bird and for the depth of
his paternal love. Love, I reflected, is strong-
er than death and the fear of death; it is love
that supports and animates all.

lilessenger Boys and the Museum.

Ned Kohl, the museum man, has more
trouble with messenger boys than probably
any other man in town. His office is up on
the second floor of the museum, and in this
office there is a messenger call. When he
wants a messenger he rings the call and waits
patiently. In the course of time the messenger
appears. The ticket is made out and the boy
leaves with the note or telegram, that is, he
leaves the office. On his way to the stairs he
is obliged to pass in full view of the freaks
and he usually is tempted to pause and inspect
them. If he does this he is liable to beget a
strong desire to see the stage shows, and the
chances are that he spends a. half hour or so
in the museum before he does the errand.
One day Kohl wrote an important telegram
and called a boy to take it to the office. An
hour later he had occasion to go out into the
museum and there he saw the same boy ad-
miring the albino lady. Grabbing him by the
collar Kohl asked him if he had brought an
answer to the telegram. When he learned
that he had been in the museum all the time
he did not know whether to throw him down
the stairs or feed him to the man eating gor-
illa. He finally sent him by the stair route,
after scaring him out of a. three years’ growth.
Now that boy passes the museum on the op-
posite side of the street—Chicago Herald.

 

Dom Pedro’s Hospital.

Dr. Stellwag, the famous Austrian oculist,
during the course of a lecture related the fol-
lowing story of Dom Pedro of Brazil: He
said that one of the exemperor’s dearest
wishes had been to have a big hospital at Rio,
but that he lacked the money wherewith to
build it, and the wealthy people could not be
induced to subscribe. Then an idea came to
him, as it had to the German Emperor Jo-
seph, a century ago. He began to grant life
peerages to all persons who were willing to
subscribe good round sums to the hospital.
The patents of count, Viscount and baron
were not hereditary, and if the children
wished to inherit their father’s title they had
to pay for it afresh. Brazil became hereby
peopled with nobles and the hospital vas built
on a grand scale. then it was completed
Dom Pedro had the following inscription
placed on its gates: “Vanitas Humane. Mis-
eriae I-Iumnnae !” (“Human Vanity to Human
Misery. ”)——l\lontreal Star.

Anecdote of Mr. Clioate.

It is said that upon one occasion Mr. George
Ticknor, the well known authority upon
Spanish literature, happened to sit beside Mr.
Choate in the court room when the latter
was bending his brows over a bit of his own
manuscript which he evidently found it
pretty hard to decipher. “Mr. Choatc,” the
other said, “I have a manuscript at home of
which the writing closely resembles yours.”
“Ah,” Mr. Choate responded; “who wrote
it?” “Philip the Second of Spain.” “Ah!”
said Mr. Choate again; “great man, Philip
the Second.” Then he added, with than
twinkle in his eye which was so irresistible,
“Great man; much in advance of his time.”

A Big Load.

Alexander Penny, now a resident of Los
Angeles, Cal, has the honor of hauling the
largest load ever hauled over the Sierra Ne-
vada mountains by one team. His load con-
sisted of 50,000 pounds of merchandise, 10,000
pounds of barley for feed, 450 pounds of hay
(three bales) and 100 pounds of bran (three
sacks). This immense load was safely de-
livered on time at Austin, Nev. The “rig”
consisted of sixteen mules and two back ac-
tions (two wagons coupled behind each other
and attached to the main wagon). Mr. Pen-
ny had no helper, doing the work himself.—
Chicago Tribune.

The Attire of Two Caliphs.

It is recorded of the fanatical Omar, the
immediate successor of Mohammed, that he
preached in a tattered cotton gown, torn in
twelve places; and of Ali, his contemporary,
who assumed the caliphate after him, that, on

the day of his inauguration he went to the,

mosque dressed in a. thin cotton gown, tied
around him with a girdle; a coarse turban on
his head, his slippers in one hand and his bow
in the other, instead of a walking stalk—Dry
Goods Chronicle.

Journalism in Hungary.

Journalistic criticism is a dangerous call—
ing in Hungary. An article which appeared
in a journal at Klausenburg gave so much
offense that it led to no fewer than thirteen
duels. The editor of the paper fought four
duels, in one of which he killed his opponent;
the author of the obnoxious article passed
safely through three encounters, and the sub-
editor took the lion’s share with six combats.

now to Cast-for Bass.

Standing upright in his boat the expert
buss fisherman grasps the rod firmly be-
low the reel—which must be one that runs
with the least possible friction, and holds
300 or 400 feet of line—and whirls the squid
about his head, with several feet of line
flying free. When the whirling squid is
brought to a certain velocity, which the
feeling and instinct of the angler must de-
termine to a nicety, the fisherman quickly
thrus.s the rod forward with a movement
whose effect and grace can only be appre.
ciated and understood by seeing it done.’
The whirling squid responds instantly to
the movement. It starts out with amazing
velocity, as straight as a flying bullet. The
whizzing reel pays out the unresisting
line, and if the cast has been made by an
expert a hundred and fifty feet of line will
have left the reel before the squid drops in
the water at the spot it was launched to
reach. It will not be long before some big
bass will show his appreciation of the an-
gler’s skill by swooping upon the attract-
ive lure, and then will come a struggle that
may last an hour, and perhaps two, before
one or the other of the combatants con-
quers—New York Evening Sun.

A New Method of Treating Disease.

Hospital Remedies.

What are they ? There is a new depar—
ture in the treatment of disease. It con-
sists in the collection of the specifics used
by noted specialists of Europe and America,
and bringing them within the reach of all.
For instance the treatment pursued by
special physicians who treat indigestion,
stomach and liver troubles only, was ob-
tained and prepared. The treatment of
other physicians, celebrated for curing
catarrh was procured, and so on till these
incomparable cures now include diseases
of the lungs, kidneys, female Weakness,
rheumatism and nervous debility.

This new method of “one remedy for
one disease” must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers. many of whom have
experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly
realize the absurdity of the claims of Pat-
ent Medicines which are guaranteed to
cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the
use of which, as statistics prove, has ruin—
ed morc stomachs than alcohol. A cir-
cular describing these new remedies is
sent free on receipt of stamp to pay
postage by Hospital Remedy Company,
Toronto, Canada, sole proprietors. Re-
liable agents wanted.
