Boys wiia you stand this? The Louisville Courier of the Gth inst., contains the following Suggestion to Gov. Owsley: "As ourOhio and Indiana neighbors appear to have some difficulty, or are at least rather slow, in complying with the requisitions of their respective Governors, how would it answer for Gov. Owsley, just by way of courtesy, to offer them the services ot a portion of the thirty or forty companies tendered him which be was unable to accept?1' We acknowledge the promptitude' of our' Kentucky neighbors; but weanswer for old Vander

burgh at least, that it will not be her fault if

the requisition of her Governor be not complied, with. She has already sent one company to the field; and not many days will elapse before another neither of which Kentucky can beat will be prepared for service. Indiana can well do her duty without the aid of Kentucky "courtesy".

Dear Sir, According to promise I proceed to give you, as well as 1 am able, from the lurry, bustle, and excitement incident to the occasion, an outline of events, prospect etc, since leaving Evansville in the Metcalf, on Sunday morning last, for the camp at this place.

She stands on the right of the first Jiegimentf and honors the station she fills. It would have gratified our citizens to witness the enthusiasm with which we were received, furnished with provisions, camp equipage &c, and marched into barracks.

that Gen. Scott his declined tho appoint

National Fair. The National Intelligencer of thd 30th. ult., says: "The public interest in this grand Exhibition continues with so little abatement, that .we doubt whether it will be entirely satisfied, far less satiated, at the proposed termination of it, though now extended to Wednesday next; wo are quite convinced that two of our columns closely printed daily for the next fortnight could not contain all that we could say, and which we feel we ought to say, respecting if. But we do not doubt that the Managers have abundant leasons for the course which they havo adopted; to whom, by the way, great credit is due fijr the exertions which they have used, and tho arrangements which ihey have made, for the management of the fair.

0OIt is most gratifying to observe the entire unanimity with which the Administration is sustained in carrying out tho measures which the present crisis demands. It is as it should bo party- feeling strikes down rebuked before the dictates of patriotic emotion: and the only, enquiry seems to be, the best means of securing the triumph ot the American arms, and of restoring to the coun

try the blessings of an honorable peace. But

hen these great objects are secured, and

the people turn from the triumphant appeal to arms, to enquire how that appeal was forced upon us; terrible will be theresponsibility of those, by whose measures, this state of things was brough; about.

Let every thing which the emergency of

te case demands, be at once and efficiently

done: and when tho day of inquiry comes, let

the responsibility fall, wherever, in the sight

CHIVALRY. We copy the following article from the New Orleans Picatcne. It shows in

admirable contrast the difference between the

two nations in the treatment of prisoners of war.

Gen. Taylor is a tkue soldier; on the field and after victory ; and we hope the lesson in chivalry which he is endeavoring to teach ihe Mexicans

may solten the rigor they heretofore nieetod ou

to American prisoners should any again b

so unfortunate as to fall into their hands.

As to the Mexicans making many prisoners

however, there is not much to fear, unless the

According to the Baltimore American, the war with Mexico has a two-fold object first, to insure a permanent peace; and secondly,

to impress upon Mexico the importance of

preserving the friendship of this country, in preference to any European nation. It is be lieved that the present difficulties might have been avoided but for the secret intetferenco of a foreign power. Let manifestos precede our army into Mexico, announcing to ihe people that we wage war not upon them, but for the purpose of delivering them from the chronic malady of constant revolutions. Lot us show them that our magnanimity is equal to our bravery, which Ins already been acknowledged.

the

brunt of battle blackened the earth. 1 he in

cense of prayer has ascended witii the smoke

has its horrors it has its huiuuiniu also. The grave is not all dark iu which they sleep who fail in the cause of nations. They close their eyes with the image ef their country before them, and immortality tests upon the mound which covers their bones. To those they leave behind, the consolations of patriotism soothe the loss of fried, brother, husband or sou. It is the less grievous of the ways in which men are

taken hence. The enthusiasm of duty dulls the

sting of death and cheats it ot its terror. A whole people pour the healing of gratitude into the wounds ol such as are bereaved.

But we have departed from the object we had

praise nor astonishment. There being no ofli

cer of equal rank for whom he could be exchan ged, he was detained a prisoner. As his remain

ing in the American camp must necessarily be attended with charin and pain, he was sent to

this city and allowed to go at. large upon the pa

rot ol a soldier. He is now here. General Tay

lor had every reason to know that his countrymen would extend to a brave man. captured at his post, every attention which admiration of courage might dictate; but he knew also tint the captive of a stricken field is without the means of relieving himself from the annoyancesof pecuniary want in a hostile country. He gave Gen. La Vega a letter of credit upon his merchants in this city, lie could not-brook the thought that a General who had engaged him iu the field of chivalry elioulJ be pinched by want amongst etrangers, and he generously opened his purse to the only field officer of the enemy who stood to his arms as long a. there was a soldier to assist him. It is conduct like this that teaches us that the moloeh of war is not wholly a devil. Glory is not always arrayed in garments ol crimson. The displays ot chivalry are not confined to the consuming sword. As much as we are proud ol the achievements of Gen. Taylor in battle, we arc equally so of his noble beariuu toward a fellow soldier in misfortune. Whilst ill--American army is led by such an officer, ita arms will not be sullied in the hour ot peril nor itschnraeter assailed when the day is won. The country is safe in such hands. The wisdom which directs her legions will temper the courageof her soldiers by examples of commanding generosity. A war conducted upon the precepts ot an exalted civilization wilt have none of the bitterness of barbarous strife behind it. Victories achieved in the name oi patriotism, unmixed with baser impulses, will nut be suliied by crualties. The legitimate ravages ol war are desolating indeed ; but the ruthlessuess of the soldiery sometimes makes them more ti-.r.ble. There is no dread ot this whilst our forces are commanded by a sold ier who urescnts to his army an example of courage in the crash oi battle, and of manly generosity when the field is woo.

From the Armv. A correspondent of

the Newark Daily Advertiser, writing from Fort Brown May l llh, says: "I have only to mention the afllicting circumstance lhat our most severely wounded men are mortifying and dropping off. One reason is the excessive heal of the weather, and another is the fact that the Mexicans fired nothing but Copper Shot! Such a proceeding ou their pari has outraged the feeling3 of the whole army. Vengeance ! vengeance Is the cry day and night, for wounded comrades dying from ihe poisonous shot. We were the attacked, and fired only irun and shot."
