said to be Lieut. Kingsbury of the rrg ular aimy. He having left then long before the published letter reached our camp it baa been out f our power fu ascertain from him whether such is the fact or not. I am rather cf the opinion that had he have been going to remain here,

the Utter woull nut have been written. Upon reading the letter I was fmcibly struck with the singular ingenuity which the writerjhaj evinced.ih wholly avtidin2 the tt uth through two entire columns of a newspaper in on article professing to lo give an account of facts of which the writer claims to b a w itness. lie has

oot merely told one two, or a dozen falsehoods, but has the singular merit, of not Laving once told the truth. It is rot try purpose lo enter into an examination of the whole aiticle not, expose its mendacities farther than they affect the character of the corps to w Inch I belong. That others equally audacious might be pointed, out, 1 reed only instrnce the derptra'e charge which he describes Col. May's dtagoont as making, when every man who was upon the field of Buei.a Vista knowa that Col. Ms'a cqvedion, never

fired a gun, struck a blow or made a charge upon that fielJ.no one doubts their willingness, nay their anxiety, to have mingled in the desperate conflict that w as going n around them, but a fuvorble opportunity was not offeted them. The first statement contained in the leUer to which I have referred which I deem it proper to notice is that Santa Anna's in

200 strong, and the 2d Indiana about the

tsck of,a very npeiir force of infantry and lancers in the gorge of the mountain. Afier exchanging twenty rounds with them, the firing was stopped in consequence of a white fiag haing been sent in by the enemy. It was now perceived that the cr.emy were preparing to mtke a heavy charge of Uncers upon us. and

we moved off by the right flank, and took

position on the cde of a ratine lo receive him. The whole line, when formed a round the eage of the ravine, described a poriion of an arc of a circle form, which I suppose originated the absurd story of the V formation. Let me be particular upon this point, for upon the repulse of that charge turned the whole fortune of the day, and about it more falsehoods have been written and told than about try other event that

transpired during the battle. The third Indiana regiment faced by the rear tank occupied the right of the line next came the 2J Indiana, snd on the extreme left were the Mississippi lifiemen. When the enemy's cavalry rose the hill and came in view, it was discovered that they were advancing to the charge in column of companies at a slow gallop and in the motpetfect cider.

column pointed obliquely to our line and

charge of the lanrera which I have ahote

described, when, in fact, it was rnsj

fore. Hie description of this t-haree is

fine, very fine; it has, in fact, but one fault, a trivial one perhaps in the eyes f the author, that their is not the semblance

of truth in it from bginning lo end. The

charge referred to was made by the lan

cers upon the Arkansas and Kentucky cavalry drawn up in front of the tank, and supported by the Indiana riflemen, who had been ordered fiom the mountain to the rancho to defend our wounded. The cavalry was overpowered by the superior

numbers of the lanceis and driven through and around the ranrho. As ihe enemy pursued them a deadly fire from our riflemen carried destruction into

their ranks and rut their column into two

parts, one of which relumed whence they came, and ihe other took refuge in the mountains on the right. It is utterly false that Col. May charged or attempted to charge them a few harmless shots were thrown at them from a piece of anillery under his command as they weie climbing the mountainside in their retreat.

His whole statement is an uumiiieated falsehood, ard the writer, if upon the field at all, v hich from the w hole tenor of his letter I am constrained 10 doubt, must have krown tt lo be such wken he penned it. Nfire was opened on Col. Marshall's regiment at the distance of three hundred yards, or at any other distance on the 22d. Two companies of Col. Marshall's men had been dismounted and together with two companies of Indiana riflemen had teen sent up the mountain side lo meet the enemy' light troops who were advancing in that direction. Two other companies tif Indiana riflemen remained at the f.uu of the mountain. 1'he remainder of Co).

M reciment, remained in i!tt lat ine at

to face the charge directly instead of ob

liquely. This was done when she head of the enemy's column was about one hundred yards distant. In this position and in perfect silence we awaited iheir approach. When the leading squadron was wiihin twenty five paces of the front of my company, the order was given by Col. Lane to fire. Rider and hoise sent down before our fire like gtas before the mower, and the broken column retired at full speed up a ravine by which they were sheltered in a preat measure from ihe fire of the whole line except three or four companies on the right who could see ihem for four hundred yards, and who fired some four or five rounds after them in their retreat doing deadly execution to the farthest range of musketry.

gentlemen who formerly held commissions in ihe regular army, and were graduates of West Point. The Indiana regiments were not so commanded, and the ui fortunate retreat of the 2d regiment in the morning offering a fair pretext, ihe whole rack opened iheir cry upon Indiana. Constrained at last lo cofess that volunteers can be defended when in ihe

most desperate crisis, they siill hope to impress the public with the belief, that to lender them effectual, they must be officered by graduates from West Point. Whether they will succeed in this attempt, or whether in miking it they have

nol sprung a mine wh;ch shall ''hoist ihe engineer with his own petare" remains to be seen. Many other false and ridiculous statements have been made by leiier w riters lo various papers, the refutation of which is beyond the compass of a letter. So far as the 3d regiment is concerned, w e can safely appeal to the official report of Gens. Taylor, Wool and Lane. Wilh regard lo ihe 2d I apprehen I that justice has not been done them in any of those reports, as when they were made, neither Taylor, Wool nor Lane knew that Col. Bowles had given an order to the regiment to retreat. That matter will however be officially corrected hereafter.

trie enemy's fire when opened, was open

ed pon the lour companies upon ihe mountain side at the distance of fiom one hundred and fifty 10 two hundred yards, and noi three hundred yards; which latter distance is by no means so safe a one from musketry fire as the writer of Duena Vista would seem to imagine. The next statement of fact relative to

the opening of the tattle on the plain,

bones t ihe horses, and the Mood of their

riders upon the rocks, mark distinctly the spot where the head of the enemy's column went down under our fire. From the front of our line to the spot where the paliant leader of the enemy's cavaliy fell riddled with balls is just twenty-five paces. From the last mentioned spot to

the place where ihe right of ihe Mississlp-

exhibits such an utter ignorance of the ptans rested is just one hundred and sevoperatiot.8 of the dav. lhat in charitv to enty paces. For the exact truth of w hat

the writer, I am bound to believe he was

not upon the field. He says, "ihese dis

positions having been promptly effected,

the artillery of both armies opened ils fiies, and simultaneously the Mexican infantry commenced a rapid and extended discharge vpon our line fiom ihe left to HcKee's regiment." There is not a word of truth in all this. The 24 Indiana regiment under the command of Gen. Lane and Col. Bowles, were from a half to three fourths of a mile in advance of all the other troops, having w ith ihem O'Brien's battery. They were in this position, and while entirely unsupported, attacked by the who;e disposable force of the enemy's infaniry, numbering from six to eight thousand, their flank at ihe me moment, was raked from left to right by a battery of twenty four and eighteen pounders, and their rear threatened by an immense force of lancers.

Yet, unfalteringly did that devoted regi-; close and dead'y conflict was going on

oient 4and until they had fired twenty one round at the enemy, and saw, in the short space of five minutes, more than

one fourth of their number stretched up

which the right of our line rested ihe ''at day, is sacred in my eyes. No man

is readier to do justice to the eallanl artillery corps ihan myself. Nobly, most nobly did ihey maintain ihe reputation they had won on other fields. lias any

man ever neard an Ir.dianian attempt lo detract from their merit? And jet it would be as easy to invent falsehoods

about them, as it was for ' Buena Vista" to invent ihem about the Indiana Brigade, They lost three pieces of artillerv

t hat an admirable foundation would this afford to a reckless slanderer lo assail

mem. i rue it is that noi a shadow of

blame rests upon them for ihe loss; but what would that matter lo a determined

calumniator? nPI at a 7w a . ...

i ue ivemucKy ana Illinois regiments were broken and flying tlown the deep ravine w here so many of them were killed, where the gallant Clay. Hardin, and McKee fell. We all know lhat they were overpowered by a force that it was utterly impossible for Ihem to withstand; but what would lhat matter to one determined lo calumniate them? Did not the same facts exist in the case of the 2J Indiana, and have iheynot been charged with cowardice for giving way tefore a force of more lhan fourteen times their ow n number, and lhat loo only after having been twice ordered to ' cease firing and retreat," by their own Colore'.? With regard lo the 3d regiment of Indiana, slander may do its worst. We

I have here stated. I can confidently ap

peal noi only to every Indianian present, but to the gallant Mississippians themselves. The brave are ever ready to do justice to iheir comrades in arms; it is the coward only w ho seeks by false clamour against others, lo avoid too close a scrutiny into his own conduct. I have said lhat upon ihis repulse rested the fortunes of the day. It happened at the same moment lhat the Kentuckians and Illinois:) were driven down the ravine with such immensewsffrter--'and had our fWrce beetrTtispersed and cut lo pieces nay, had ihey wavered or faltered for a moment, nothing could have saved our army from utter annihilation. Scarcely had the la6t echo from our guns ceased to reverberate through ihe mountains, when a rapid and sustained fire of musqueiry opened half a mile or

pernaps less, 10 our rtgnt ana tola mat a
