IMPREGIGGRCE BY YER MAIb8. Wasurnotom, May 2, 1848. _ t¢ Last Rites to the Dead—The Plan of o Holi- day Proposed for the Baltimore Convention— Col. Hardin and James K’. Polk—Another Pro- tocol from Gen. Taylor—His Party Prospects | Defined—Funds Wanted for the Campaign— | Mr. Trist, the Administration, and the Treaty. The funeral ceremonials over the mortal re- mains of Senator Ashley, contingent to their transfer to the Congressional Cemetery, prec.ud- ed eny action by either house to-day, upon the public business. It has been suggested that the residue of the week should be appropriated to a further suspen- sion of legislation, with a view of affording the upholsterers time for putting the chambers in their summer carpets and trimmings. This 1s desirable, or would be, if the warm weather were here; but it is neither one swallow, nor the blossoming of the lilacs in the capitol grounds that bring usthe summer, as described in Virgil’s Georgics ; fer this evening, so far from a linen coat being a comfortable garment, a Mexican poncho, such as is worn on the tierras templadas, by the arrierroes in their nocturnal rides in escort of a conducta, would be better adapted to this chill norwester and the cold rain epitting down trom the over clouded air. Tne weather, then, may have a good effect in favor of the Baltimore convention, because ma- ny good democrats desire to leave the doings of Congress for the doi at Baltimore on the 22d of this current mont dit the shifting of the wooien carpets for the straw matting can be de- ferred till that time, an edjournment of two days then will make it ** migity convanient intirely”’ forall parties. Tais arrangement, we hope, will be agreed upon. | . : At the last Baltimore convention, while R J. Walker, Eeq. was busy with his two.third rule, the House continued its discussions ; but we re- collect that Judge Bowlin and others spoke to “empty boxes,”” because a quorum were present outside, at the north end, awaiting the half hour bulletins by the wires, then making their first experimental operations. Colonel Hardin, then a member of the House, but since killed at An- gostura, was charmed beyond all bounds of prose on hearing of the nomination of James K. Polk, and we recollect that he perpetrated a doggere] stanza, in honor of the result, somewhat after this fashion : * The loco convention, we theught would pass A vote for Buok, or Wright, or Case ; Bat th ful beginning has ended in a joke, For they've knocked down all, and set up Polk ” It proved no joke to the whigs, and the result of the election in bringing to a focus the Mexican difficulties, proved mo joke to the brave Hardin, or the hard-tought day at Buena Vista. This brings us naturally and forcibly to the hero of that immortal victory, the sterling old soldier and honest man, Zachary Taylor, long life to him. ~ _ Aletter, another letter—that letter given out in advance as the letter that would please every body, has come. It is the old story ; General Taylor holds his position in tact and in fact He says he will accept a party nominatien, bit will make no pledges. He declares that he ha not declared he would give way to Henry Cl» No such thing. Convention, or no Convent: he is thar! He says that he has not said he w in favor of the tariff of °46, or the Sub-Treasury; nor has he said that he would or a mixed party cabinet. He leaves the to deductions and inferences. But we are sid that he is like the Duchess of Orlean e young Count of Paris, “‘ Too late. 3, if the letter satisfies every body, it : m that old Zachary must now depe r did, upon his own conventions an arty e 18 not the man for the democ not whig enough yet for the whigs. Even broad hint respectin; abinet ia not conclusive in favor of a whig cabinet. We have not seen the letter in question ; but we doubt not the reliable gentlemen who has favored us with its leading propositions, has done it fairly. It was brought up by express from Richmond, and but a single copy or two, only accessible to the initiated, are in town. It has excited a good dea! of speculation, and a pretty general conclusion that it reads General Taylor out of the whig convention. }o that, it appeare, all things considered, the only resource left to the true friends of the old leader of the any of occupation, is to follow the advice of the late Maryland Taylor conven- ton—that is to say, organise separate State con- ventions—separate State electoral tickets, and do all things with the fixed object of sending the election to the House, in which event the chances for old Zachary would be in the ratio of two to one against the whig nominee, what- ever his minority in the beginning. But the Taylor men still expect to slip through safely the hazards of the whig convention, and reiying upon this expedient, we epprehend they will be apt to postpone the wiser alternative beyond the day of reparation. The fact is, and it is of no use to disguise it, the nucleus of tne Taylor party are the disatlec: ed ot both parties, mostly whigs, but some de- mocrats, and nearly ati the Tyler men, saving here and there an exception, such as Henry A Wise, and Caleb Cushing, who are sworn, the one for reasons best known to hinsell, the other for reasons known to every body, to the fortunes ot the administration. We may suppose, then, that this nucleus of the T-ylor party is not over flush of iunds, and funds are required to push a vi- gorous campaign. The whigs have them. Hence the importance of a nomination by the whig convention. If that is not given to Gen. Tay!or, we apprehend, from this substantial reasou as- signed, that the old soldier will be served with less consideration than at Agua Nueva, for we fear that he wiil be stripped even of his volun- teers. The play at Philadelphia. “ The play’s the thing, By which we'll try the conscience of the king ”* We expressed sur misgivings in a recent de- yaa upon the policy of the ungrateful recall of r. Trist, pending those undetermined negotia- tions for peace. Late letters from Mexico sus- tain our apprehensions. The treaty of Mr. Trist was accepted. It has been returned with acon- ditional ratification of the Senate. Wh then, in such a case, was the course to be pursued for the concurrence of Mexico? Clearly, the em ployment of Mr. Trist as an adjunct commis- sioner, or as an adviser and assistant in a quasi capacity. If the treaty fails, we may attribute it to this singular act of this cabinet of the re- l of Mr. Trist, for the address which could secure the signing of such a treaty would be tue safest rel'ance to ite final ratification. But there are hopes of this consummation, and we trust that Messrs. Sevier and Clifford will mot have gone to Queretaro upon a fool’s errand. ‘Tux Doctor. ea Ne ei THIRTIETH CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. roe asuinoron, May 2, 1848 ‘Lnis morning being set apart for the funeral obsequies over the remains ef the late Senator Ashley, the follow- ing was adopted by the joommittee as the programme of arrangements :— ORDER OF PROCESSION FOR THE FUNERAL OF THE HON.

Mr. Slicer, chaplain of the Senate, from the se- cretery’s table, with a few prefatory observations, read as the foundation of his remarks upon this solema occa- sion, from the 1st Epistle of Peter, 1st chapter, 24:h and part of the 25th verse, “24 For all flesh is as grass ; and all the glory of man is as the flower of grass.

[From the Ricbmond Republican, May 2} Annexed is the answer of Gen Maylor to aletter from us, propounding the following icquiriee: “It bas been stated in some cf the papers, ina most posit > manner. that you have eaid, if Henry Clay be the nomines of the whig national convention, you will not suffer yonr Dame to be used asa candidate. “It hes been also stated, lately, that, in recent conver- sations, you bave declared that you are in favor of the tariff of '46, of the Sub-Treasu-y, of the fact, the responsibility of the war belongs to you—also thet, ifelected President, you will choose your from both parties. “We respectfully solicit am answer to the following questions: “1. Will you refuse the nomination of a wh'g national convention? Do you design to withdraw other m ball be t in didate’ . Have you stated that you in favor of the tariff of 46, the Sub-Treasury, that you originated the war, and should select your Cabinet from both parties?” ‘The following ia Gen. Taylor's reply : Baton Rovar, Ls., April 20, 1849. Dear Sir: Your letter of the 10th inst , whioh alludes to certain statements that have recently been made in some ofthe papers at the North, and which submits e ay inquiries for my consideration, has been re- ceived. To your inquiries I have respectfully to reply: Firet—That if nominated by the whig national oon- vention, I shall not refuse acceptance, provided | am left free of all pledges, and permitted to maintain the position of independence of all parties in which the my own sense of duty have placed me—other refuse the nomination of any convention or part: Becondiy—I do not desiga to withdraw my name if Mr. Clay be the nominee of the whig national convention—end, in this connexion, | beg permission to remark that thestatements which have been s0 pori- 'y made in some of the Northern prints, to the effect at should Mr. Clay be the nominee cf the whig na- tional convention,” I had steted, ‘thet | would not suffer my name to be used,’’ are not correct, and have no foundation in any oral or written remark of mine. it bas not been my intention, at avy inoment, to change my position--or to withdraw my name from the canvases, whoever may be the nominee of the national oonvon- tion, either of the whig or democratic party. Thirdly—I have never stated to any one that | was in favor of the tariff of ’46-of the 8uy-Treasury, nor that L originated tho war with Mexico. Nor, finally, that should (if elected) select my cabinet from both parties. No such admissions or statements were made by me, at it Henry Ciay or any any time, to apy pereon. Permit me, however, to add that should such high distinction be conferred upon me as that of elevation to the Executive office, the constitution, in a strict and honest interpretation, and in the spirit and mode in which it was acted upon by our earlier Presidents, would be my chief guide. This, | conceive to be all that is necessary in the way of pledges. ‘The election of another candidate would oocasion no mortification to me; but to such a result, as the will of the people, | should willingly and calmly eubmit. As I have bad no ambition to serve, but in the desire to serve the country, it would bring to me no disappoint: ent. With sentiments of high respect and regard, 1 remain your most ob’t. servant. Z.

Pillow came up to the head of the .oluma, where I was, just before enter. ing Sam Augel, near some ruined arches, with an aquo- duct on the left hand, ‘The only orders I received, up to the time that I men- tioned, when General Pillow turned off to the right, to follow General Twiggs, was the first order of General Scott, relative to the movement towards the San Ange! road; the order of Gexerai Twiggs, to movs to the front to cover it.

There was a Very heavy fire from the artillery in the enemy's po- sition, aud an attack directiy in front would have oo- casioned a very great loss. To turn their position by our left would not cué their lice of retreat ; and seeing che church and viliage between their position snd the city, | determined to move round by our right, into that village, and take possession of it. 1 called tho officers of the regiments together, and explained to them the ob ject, and said that I would execute it in a few minutes, if no orders came to the contrary. After waiting per. haps fifteen minutes longer, to see if any orders would come from the rear, I directed Captain Magruder to open his fire sgain, which hed been ailenced pretty much by the e: y, in order to cover my movement to the right 1 then moved off by the ri,bt flank, filing round, aud thence towards the village. { happenod to ‘aregiment which ;, and I supposs, from Morgan’s regiment, It it before we got over reported to General Cadwala other circumstances, that it w: to the field on the right of the vi tarted from the position of Magruder’s batte! ments coming out from the city to the M When e out from the pedregal, they were formed, ip ble force; between the village and sen Angel, their left on @ wood snd line perpendicular to the San Augel road. As my brigade was forming, afver getting to the village, these reivforcements filed round by their right flank, in two lines, parallel to the road. At this movement Gen. Cadwalader came up and reported io me. I inquired, first, if Col Riley’s brigade was over there, but could get no information about it. I then. in order te make face to the "a new front, directed Gen Cadwalader to file his brigade round to the left, in aline parallel to the onemy. { put Mejor Dimmick’s ‘giment of artillo: the orchard, en the main road to 8: and formed the 3d ight flank of the villege, da company of Lieut Col.

Porter) bad met an officer belonging to Riley’s bri- gade, who said that the brigade was further up the village. totberight Col. Riley soon after reported to mo that his brigade was there. The enemy in front was com- manded by Gen. Santa Anna; those in the church by Gen. Valencia—although we didnot know this at the time. After examining Santa Anna’s position, I ordered an attack upon it. Riley to attack towards the left,Cad walader about one hundred and fifty yards to the right of Riley, end retired in echelion, both colamns by divi- sion, teft infront Riley was to pierce the right of the enemy's line about two hundred yards from the enemy’s ight tlank — Cadwalader to form the front. This wasjust about sunset when this order was given Gen. Cadwale der had examined the ravine in his front, and reported that it could be passed, but with diMculty. Riley soon returped and reported that his brigade was ready to merch out. A few minutes after Gen Cadwalader came up for some explavation of the order, and reported that the ground occupied he his brigade was so difficult tha: it would be some time before his brigade could be form ed. By this time it gotso derk that you could rcarcely potorive the enemys lines, as they stood under *he brow of the hill, and it would be evidently quice dark bafore we could cross the ravine —the order to attaok was counter manded. Col. Riley then mentioned that while he had been uv to the upper end of the village, snd outside of it towards the enemy, Captaia Canby aud Lieutenant Tow. er, of the engiaeers, bad reocuv:tred the ground to wards Valencia’s position, aud found that the ravine in front led up entirely in the rear of Valeacia’s camp, anv that inf-ntry could move up it I then determined tc attack before day in that direction ; aad upon my way ing that [ should be very glad to commuvicate our po- sition end my intention to Gen.

About 10 o’clock, Gen Shields’s aid. Lievt Hammond, came and reported that the general had go turongh the pedregal, and was lying on the open ground between the road theravine Being under the im pression that I ranked Gen. Shields, 1 directed «hat his two regiments should occupy the position which Mo}. Dimmick bad first occupied, in the orchard on the road; directing then that the whole of my own brigade should join the column which was moving on to the attack of ela. About 12 o'clock Gen. Shi: ted the {netruotions to him. pression that I ranked him, and he, with great d as well as maj imity, did not hint at bis act tion, which was that of my eevior. He then and joined his brigade. which was then in the orchard. He was to occupy the villege after we marched cut. A few minutes before 3 o'clo: brigade marched out. Two of Cadwalader’s regiments followed. The other two, which were in the further extremity of the village, and with very difficult ground, not being ready, Gon. Cadwalader undertook to remain and bring them up in time. Maj. Dimmick, with my brigade, followed the two first regimentsof Gen Cadwalader, and the latter fol- lowed Dimmick, with his two other regiments. Owing to the extreme difficulty of the path,ittook us 3 hours beiore Riley’s brigade got into position in rear of the enemy's works. Ithad been browd daylight some time before we got there. Asthe enemy had o great deal of cavalry about their position, Riley was ordered to attack in two columns, and to deploy when the nature of the ground would permit him. Cadwalader’s brigalo had been in- tended to make face towards Santa Anna, if he moved to the assistance of Valencia, and Dimmick to aesist in either the one or the other attack, as circumstances might require. But Santa Anna had, daring the nigh’, withdrawn to San Angel, as we have since Jearned from his official reports, so that when bd to be broad dey we could only see Santa Anua’s cavalry, at the position which he had occupied, and his infantry a great distance off, returning to that position. He was so far off that it was evident we had nothing to feer from any movement he could make. Just as Riley’s column was formed for attack, cavairy were seon moving out from Valencia position, up towerds the mountains. As they might in that way atteck Riley on his right flank, and as it was ary to pay any attention to Sante Anna’s ‘s brigade should alse move on Kiley’s right flank and rear, and the other on his left flank. his order wae ited to the senior ofliver, who marched with ;and just at this came up with the other two, and at the engineer compony and rifles were thrown upon Riley’s I*ft aud front, under the brow of the hili, to clear front of the enemy's skirmishers The whole of the enemy’s works and position were ci ried atone sweep.

As the Rifles and 34 Infantry Regiment moved out of the village, Gen Twiggs came up. He directed the pursuit to be oon- tinued, map occasional short halts, until the other regiments could get into position in column. Wecon- tinued in this way until, es | said before, Gen.

A. The senior officer that I saw on tho field was Gen. Pillow. The only ordor I got thet day was from Gen T to move to support Magruder’s battery. Who- ever made the dispositions was responsible for them. | do not now epeak of the principle, but of th The presumption is, tha senior officer directs the dispo- sitions, and is responsible for them. Q Whea you arrived at the villages of Enseld Geronimo, on the 19th August, did you find Col. Riley jen. Cadwalader ia possession of those villages the former alreaiy repulsed a large cavalry ter checked a large Mexican force A. I feand General Cadwalader in possession of the village. I could not find Col Riley; it appears he had gone through it, and had moved further up towards Valevcia’s ition. I learned in regard to the cavalry from Col Riley, that he had yen ‘a large body of the enemy ’s cavalry, ani killed General Frontera at the upper end of the village, towards Valenole. and finding the enemy too strong, war, as he reported to me, on his way back to the pedregal, not kaowing there were other troops over. I conorive that taking possession of the village was an important movement. It did not inter. pose any obstacle, as the road was open yet; though it ald not prevent his joining Valencia, it had sueh ioflu- ence upon Santa Anna as to prevent his throwing bim- self inte Valencia’s camp, lest our army should be in- te betweeo him and the capital. Holding the village ought to have eo influenced Sante Anna as to prevent bim from throwing himself outside of the village. in respect to the capital I found Gen Cadwalader al- ready in possession of the right flank of the village, fronting what was Santa Anna’s then front. Q Had the force under Santa Anna been brought to a stand before you got to the village ? A. Yes, sir, formed perpendicularly to the road before T reached it, and then moved round parallel to it, after J t there. me Suppose Santa Anna, with his forces, had taken possession of this village before it was oocupied by our troops, could you have taken possession of it, considering the difficulties of the ground and other obstacles ? A. It is imporeible to say what you could do. It could not have beon done without o very great loss. If it had defended it could not pave a (Ein Q.

Tho attack on Va- ia was determined upon merely as an alternative, because the night offered me the means of reaching bis position with certainty, and the darkness had prevented as taking the first. Q Did you consider the position ot Col. Riley and Gen. Cadwalader as taken by chance; and if not, under whose orders did | you suppose they were acting ? Col. Riley went over there by General from me at igRe’s or tho time Magruder’s battery moved tothe front I never a ra, having seen him separ: yw who sent Gen. Cadwalader; | presumed, of course, he was ordered there. Q. Did not the witness hear the orders of Mej. Gen Pillow alluded to, in conversation, by Col. Riley and Gen. Cadwalader, or other officers, who oecupied the village or neighborhood, before he reached it? Wiil witnessstate whether the position of these troops did not ouase bim to suppose that tho object was to attack the rear or flank of Valencia's position? A. I thought that the whole movement of these troops was in conformity with Gen. Scott’s order, in the morn- iug, to push across, and get posseession of the San An- gel com; and that these troops were there in conformity with that order. When | got over, and Col. Riley joia- ed me, [found bad about 3600 men, inthe face of 16,000 or 20 000; and | occupied myself with the meant of defeating them, without thinking what hed brought us there, except the general object of getting possession of the road to the city; and I cannot say our object war tomake anattack upon particular points in flank or rear, but to get a good position on the road, from which to choose points of attack. Q. Witnees will state whsther he did not understand chat a battle was being fought, onthe 19th of August; and that the object was to dislodge the enemy and get possession of the road across the pedregal ? ‘A. I knew nothing of road across the pedregal. 1 knew that the enemy were opposing cur passage across the pedregal; and that it was our object to dislodge them, to get possession of the San Angel road. 1 kuew nothing of a road across the pedregal. Q. Being in that position, coud you have attacked tne enemys camp, except in flank or rear ? A. I don’t think I should have attacked it, unless in flank or rear, as it wasdone. { would not have attempt- edtodo it. Icannot say the thing was impossible; | might have done it; but [ should not have thought it prudent. I mey bave made # great error in attacking tin the rear; aud if I bad had an hour more of day light, I should have attacked Santa Anna ; and, baving cfeated him, Valencia’s position would have fallen o} course Q Were not all the movements of the 19th of oy Aes last, as well as those of the morning of the 20ch, made in conformity with Gen. Scott's general order to gain the San Angel rod? A. As far as { was concerned, they were, as fer ne] knew, in conformity with a verbal order of one of Gen Scott's staf to gain the San Angel road. The verbal order was more in detail toan the written order, direct ing the baggage to be left bebind, and in referenoe to the move ts of the wagons, &c ; and that we were to turn the position of San Antonio by seizing the San Angel Road,&o. The wriften order was morely av extract-less in detail. I don’t think I ever saw this order having been handed to bim,] 0 be there, and was then being ses suppose that the troops hed gone forward without the orders of tho senior officer charged ‘with putting those troops on the San Angel wat rer knew who was charged with any suci I w that 1 had gone over there in fh Gen. Scott's orders of the morning. I can troops were moving iu order of that morning or rather immediate, officer we received bis orders, did not know. It was impossible, from the nature of the ground, to sce who was the commanding officer. Q Did the reconuoitering officers, Capt. Canby and Lieat. Tower, accompany Col. Riley’s command, ™: their reconnoissances betcre you had crossed the pedregal ? and were their reconnoissances made irre- spective ol your orders ? ‘A. In company with Col. Riley they crossed the po- dreg: and | believe they reconnoitered the position ; nd they brought me the intelligence, a‘ter Col, Riley reported to me. | believe the recennoissance was made befere | got over. Questions by Prosecution—The witness has said that Mej Gen. Pillow overteok ths witness while ths latter and Gen. Twiggs were in pursuit of the enemy about San Angel. How far is that place from the entrenched csmp? P Between two and a halfand three miles, I think, ie tha distance to the moarest end of Sen Angel. Q. The witness, to » question put to him, has said thet the presumption is, that the peiosizel orders on the field ‘ven by the senior o bh presump- tion be contradi ‘any plans or vi ‘concerned, is not such presumption contradicted in case of these on the 19th and 20th of August leet? on may of course be contradicted by With regerd to all my movements, 8 jo of Magrader’s bat oted by m: T3 the senor officer present at those mo te, re. ceiving orders fcom nobody and being ia communication with no superior officer; except Gen. Shields, 1 enior officer until the arrival of Gan. Twigge; Shields did not assume the command. Q Has tho witners any reason to beliove that any re inforcements were into Valercia’s dei the arrival of witness, or after his srrival at of Ensaldo? A.

He did not object to the witnens’s being recalled, but at this time he hed @ witness waiting. He begged that his motion andthe decision of the court might go on the record The eourt said it would consider it, but decieided to call him. Questions by Wg be gaantiphoe witness has said on his exumination that he expressed his opposition to the Ta- cubsya armistice. Did the witness understand that Gen Pillow was opposed to the said armistice, because we sur- rendered the advanteges we had gained, with-ut any- thing in return ? A. At the time of tho conversation, which was pre- vious to @ knowledge of the terms of the armistice, no reference could have been had to the terms of what we knew nothing sbvut, as the commissioners had not then met. At the timo neither of us understood what the armistioo was to be. Gen. Pillow oertaimly did ob jest to any armistios that did nt give us decided ad- ‘vantage &s an equivalent. Q.

Q. by prosecution Has not witness heretofore teatifi- ‘04 before this Court that his leading principle or only in- struction from Gen. Pillow wasto evpport Col. Riley? If Col. Riley had been recalled, would witness have re- turned under thore instructions also? A. | would not have been sent. It was after the officer with the order for the recall of Col.

On being ordered to follow up Riley’s brigade, on the 19th of August last, and as senior officer, on coming up with that brigade, had the witness precise inatruc- tons to attack the enemy’s left flank, or the rear of that dank, or to occupy the village, or to take any other do- dnite ition—or did the witness march with any defi- nite plan of operations recoived from Major Gen. Pillow” Or, in other words, did the witness, as senior officer, conoeive himself at liberty to make his own plans, and modify them according to circumstances ? ‘A. The instructions were general, and I did deem my- self authorised to take any position I deemed most ad- vantegeous, or any measures | thought best. The court then adjourned to Wednesday morning.

Having satiefied myself with their position, and the charaoter of the party, I dashed down upon them, and bere was ® dilemma which I had not anticipated. A small party of fciendly Lipans were encamped near, who were at onde recognised.
