TIE MEMORY OF Gov. YELL, or ARKAS- Sas-He has fallen-on the memorable field of Buena Vista-at the head of his columns, Colonel Yell has gloFiously fallen for his country.

 "Calm on the bosom of thy God.

 Fair spirits rest thee now."

 Col. Yell led, the foremost man, in q charge of his mounted volunteers against 8 large body of lancers, and was slain by a lance, while heroically leading his command against the Mexican cavalry.

 He met the myrmldons of power undis- mayed. and died as he had lived-for the glory of our free institutions.

 With his las. breath, Col. Yell aided in rolling back, what seemed to be ;he inevita- ble tide of success to the Mexican general and his army.

 The editor of the Argus cannot forget, when in the city of Washington, at the opening of the new Congress in December, lS45, about to leave Washington, taking Go- vernon Yell by the hand, who was then a member of Congress, we bade mutual fare we'll. s.That was the souls farewell"

 To this gallant man, and faithful friend, we took pleasure in acknowledging the obli- gations of gratitude and friendship when Iiving-we would be false 10 duty not 10 aver it no,c. Col. Yell was the colleague and friend 6f the present gifted ''chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations" in the United States Senate, Mr. Sevier; and we have reason to believe that this gallant sol dier enjoyed in an eminent degree, the con- fidence of President Polk and the members of his administration. He has been judge, governor af Arkansas. and has been her rep resentative in Congress, which high repre- sentative trust he filled with distinguished credit to himself, when he accepted from the government, eolonelship in the volunteer service of his country

 His heart was the home of all the high attributes and qualities that exait and adorn the human character. Trua, brave and gen. erous; justly the pride and hope of the peo- pie of his own growing State, and his friends everywhere. Now, wrapped in his maruaI cloak, covered with laurels that will bloom forever, Col. Yell Is at rest in hts gloIy, gory bed

 While ihe patriot is cheered with the splendor of our arms-the brave citizen sol diers who fell, yielding up their lives for their country, cannot fail to elicit the keen est sympathy from every American bosom. l. is, truly, the cypress inlerwoven with the laurel.

 The career of Gov Yell has been useful and brilliant His name will go down to coming time high on the scroll of national fame. He loved his country. and has sealed his devotion to her honor with his blood and his life.

 "Spirit thy labor IS o'er;

 Spint look not the strife;

 Spirit no letters can bind,

 Spirit how bright is the road

 For which thou art nov oh the wing

 To the protection of an everything Provi- dence, and the muniicence ol a grateful country, we commend the bereaved and stricken family of this heroic man.
