Extract of letter, from gentleman of dIstinc- ton in the north-western portion of the State writ ing in relation to our loss at the battle of Baena Vista

 ''I am glad to learn, there were but three of the officers of our regiment killed; but in the death of these three, the State has sustained a serious and almost irreparable loss. had no personal acqnan- tance with Captain Porter and Lieut.. Tomberlin; bu; it is sufficient to know they were volun- eers, who died fighting in defence of their country to esteem them men worthy of all commendaton.--- What shall say of Col. Yell He who. for many years stood second to no man in the State--the champion of democracy! He who laid aside the robes of place and station, and took up the rugged ac accoutrements of war Tn defence of his country :, In all times past such acts of disnterested patriot ism have been regarded the surest evidence of mans devotion. If his friends and acquaintances had needed further proofs of his patriotism, he gave his last best, proof, by sealing his professions with his life's bood!''
