AUGUSTA. GEO”
TUESDAY .MORNING, MARCH 33, 1847.
o*We occupy a large portion of nur col
umns this morning, with accounts of the late
battle. Most of these are already familiar
to our citizens and many of our distant sub
scribers by mean* of Extras issued on Sun
day. But they detail events worthy to be
incorporated into our regular edition for fu
ture reference. There are a few additional
particulars from the New Orleans papers of
the 24th. We hope to receive still more in
lime for our next weekly paper.
The Mexican accounts of Ihe recent bat
tle differ somewhat widely from the Ameri
can. We have become however, sufficiently
familiar with Mexican bombast and bragga
docio, to know The value to which they are ;
entitled. We give some tall specimens in ;
this morning’s paper.
The fi ittlc of Itapiia Vista.
Another immortal page has been written i
in our country’s history. Though we are
still without full particulars of the laie bat
tie. it is already known that new lustre, nn
eclip-ed l*v all former achievement*,has b -en
shed upon Ihe American arm*’. How proud ;
must every citizen feel of the name! In the |
most distant of foreign lands, in the remotest !
bounds of he earth, where enterprize has J
carried our countrymen, whether in great
seaports where our commerce unfolds its
sail, and the star spangled binner tl >ats over
our Consulates, or in the far interior where |
h solitary trader carries the name and the j
language of our countrv, the glorious tidings j
will be hailed with exultant joy. The eye of j
the American will beam with gladness—bis i
bosom will dilate with proud feeling*. and
expressions of delig' I will burst from bis
lips. Praise of American heroism will be
u tered in foreign accents, and the tongues ;
of every nation will speak of American in
vincibility. Even the coarse spirit of del pac
tion will be laid, and black and scouling en
vy mu.*t eland mate. The triumph of our
arms is too complete and brilliant to admit
of a quibble. Five thousand men, the ut
most. of our force, have met four times their
number —the flower of Mexican ch»valr\
upon the open plain, and have defeated them j
Utterly and with great slaughter. This j
achievement will compare well with anv that j
illustrates the arms of any nation, among the
most warlike of modern times. It has been
achieved too in a great measure hy volun
teer: men unused to war and its rough
usages—its stern ru es and severe privation
men who have been accustomed to the com- \
forts, and many to the elegancies of life ;
They have fought and conquered a veteran
j»oldierv, well disciplined, commanded by of- j
fleers having their full confide: ce, and im i
polled to fight with desperation bv fierce
hate, by the hope of sp >;!, the maddening
sense of want, to le supplied a'one by our
army stores which victory would have given
them, and a consciousness that defeat would
be tantamount a Imost to destruction. The
Mexicans fought well. They fought gal
lantly, and with a fury commensurate with !
tlieir extreme exigencies. Dut ihrir prowess
was vain and impotent against, American .
valor and impetuosity. It served only to i
give greater lustre to our triumpli. An cv- |
tinguisher is put upon the arrogant hopes of j
the magnanimous Mexican nation, and their
great General,whose tumorous proclamations
have announced that lhe American forces
were to be driven ignominious!}’ from their !
soil.
The twen'y-secnnd day of February must !
hereafter become doub’y endeared to our j
hearts. It commemorates the diy which
gave to our country and to mankind,that war
rior sa< T e whose deeds and virtues won for j
him the title of ‘‘Father of his Country,” and
are destined to shed in all lime to come a
blessed influence upon the whole human
race. It will hereafter be a day which w ill
give to our countrymen a new bond of union
and sympathy, a day linked in our common j
memories with the battle fields of the rovo- j
lution, of the last war with England, and of I
tire present war which commenced so br.l |
liantlv upon the Rio Grande.
The fallen licror« of ISurua Vista,
T/ie most glorious victories are uttenost
those which are purchased with the blood of
the most gallant heroes.
Such victims become thereby more fondly
and proudly cherished by the national heart.
The gloom of sorrow throws a halo of roman- :
tic interest around the recollection, and makes
deeper and holier that feeling of pride and ad- 1
miration with which the gallant achieve
ment is contemplated. Those who fall
amidst the victorious shouts of their exulting
companions in arms, become forever identi
fied with the noblest of national feelings.—
Their fate is sadly mourned, and their memo
ries tenderly cherished by a grateful count ry.
Never has our nation been called «*n to
feel more sensibly, the dear pride at which its
reputation for heroic valor, has been pur
chased,than on tlu? occasion of the late bat
tle. We are called upon to mourn the loss
of some of the most gallant spirits of the land.
Some were peculiarly objects of interest, and
their fate is to be deplored from more than
ordinary considerations.
Two of them, Colonels Hardin of Illinois,
and Yell of Missouri, were men of high po-
litical position. When the war broke out |
they were in Congress—distinguished m’m
' •= ” |
bers. They resigned their seats—hurried !
home, and brought promptly into the field
their respective regiments which their exer
tions contributed materially to rai-e. Most
emphatica'ly to them may be applied the j
term—patriot heroes.
The gallant Lincoln too, in whose veins
Co ved the choicest blood of the revolution —
a descendant of the brave General Lincoln,
had already become endeared to his coun
try, by his gallantry on another field of glory.
He was already pointed to by her as one of
her voting heroes.
There was another, whose very name awak
ens a thrill of emotion and enthusiasm, from
one end of the Union to the other. The name i
of Henry Clay H a spell that has charmed I
info admiral ion millions of American hearts.
It is identified with all the great events in our
country’s history for the last forty years—it
has shone bright among the brightest in the j
gallaxy of great names—and it has shone on !
unditnmed bv dishonor—unsuspected of want j
of devo iin to his country. Men have differ- |
ed from his opinions, but no generous mind j
ever doubled that his ardent nature was im- |
j hued with the soul of patriotism. Ills voice i
! has often rung like a clarion through our |
j land, in his country's cause, when foreign ag- j
| gres>ion called for rebuke, ft roused up tie
chivalry of her sous, and prepared the hearts
of the peop'c for war, when insult and uul rage
.vere perpetrated upon our il tg. Thai
! voice,slid rich and musical as when il chirm- |
j ej a listening Senate, and crowded galleries,
j lias been recently heard to regret, that age j
| had so far enfeebled his arm as to prevent i s i
being raised in this war against Mexico, '‘to !
avenge the wrongs if his country''
Many have boen ilip otfTing* that he has |
laid upon the altar of his country—the last
is ihat of lit* sou. Paternal inil leuce might,
| possibly, had 1 1 been exert'd, have detuned j
i loin, idut such were not the lessons taught ;
I beneath the rural shades of Ashland. I
* Col. Chiv inherited a spir t eager for his 1
i
country’s service, and worthy his illustrious |
sire. He was among the first of the gallant i
hand that went forth from the great valley, to j
ohpv their country’s cal!, and was alas,
among the lir>t to sea! his ja riotism with
his life’s blood Green he the turf over the
graves of their fallen heror s of that well fought
field, and long Le the;r memories cherished
by a grateful people.
“There is a tear for all that die.
A mourner o’er the humblest grave.
D«I a nation svxells their funeral cry
And irenuoh weep* above t e Grave.”

The o’nvv iuo pat Holism of some of our cil i
zmts gave itself vent last evening in an illu
mination, fire works, music and the roar of
cannon, to ce ehrate the glorious triumph
of American arins on the field of Duem Vista.
The affair was almost impromptu—the no
tice was not sufficiently extended for all our j
Broad street residents to follow suit. But
the wlk>lp city seemed alive with excitement,
and to sympathize with the exultant feelings
which prompted Mixer of the U. »S. Hotel—
Jennings of the Globe, Latnhack, and others,
to make their front w indows a blaze of light.
Tar barrels sent forth their volumes of
lurid flame and smoke—fire crackers rattled
their sharp voilies ky rockets, Roman can
dies and other Pyrotechnics shot up into the
clear blue skv, above which the calm moon
was shining; bui she “paled her inefFtctuil !
| fires” amidst the general glare. Gty music, j
swelled upon the air, and the loud shouts of
j the multitude gave token of a heartfelt ju
| bilee.
From the cen’ral window of lhe U. S. IL>-
i ?e! was conspicuous th* transparency
“General Taylor never surrenders,” i
Which wa* greeted with universal applau*e.

We are indeb'ed to the attention of Dr,

matters connected with the giving out of the i

which will excite surprise in the minds of j

P w ill Ge a source of much regret, to the i
citizens ol Charleston and Savannah to learn >
that the steam boat mail between the two

During the lit roe lirst tliysol t!ie present com

it was l»asfd upon orders which could not be ox
. edited it the prices claimed by the holders, who
wer • unwilling to relax in their exactions Tbe
I sal*‘»of those three days amounted to about 1000
bales a day, d soused ot mostly in small parcels,
bv parties either comp 11. d or instructed tu rea*
l.zc, at a conci’ssi min fit or of purchasers. Un
-1 dcr these eir« umstatiees the market gave way a
shade, }c, but the heavy holders still kept their
stocks back, t'n Saturday a better feelingsprung
no. and some 25J9 bales changed hands, prices
| again taking an upward direction. Monday
there was a fur inquiry, but there was little or
no anxiety manifested by the principal factors to
■ operate, e> opt on th« ir highest bids, The sales
| r- a •bed I J9O Pales, at the lull prices of Saturday;
1 perhaps a sha-le better than those, middling col
t>n being generally quoted at lojc. A estesdav
more wa- a good inqu# r y. but with only a few ex

j Sales onK readied 1000 bales at the rati sos the

We had occasion to icmark in our Inst report
that after several days of extreme dullness, with
great irreged irity in prices, the cotton market had
icsu.ih d more steadiness under a rather improved
demand, and closed on Friday al rates which
corresponded pretty nearly wd.li our previous
quotations. On Saturday a fair enquiry contin
ued, and about 4000 bales were disposed of, at
the prices of the da*' previous. On Monday the
business was confined to some 2000 bales, lie
firmer ptices dematuhd by boldi rs ha* ing appa

Ve feniav there was a fair inquiry, but the firm
