It is now probably certain that there has been atremendous and severe conflict near Saltillo. for where there is so much smoke, there must be some fire. These reports, coming forward at a time when we knew by accounts from Mexico, by the way of Vera Cruz and Tampico, that Santa Anna had left San Luis for Saltillo, prove the probability of the collision between the forces. We have little doubt but that an action has taken place. IfGeneral Taylor has been induced to leave his position at Agua Nueva, it must have hap- pened in order to concentrate his defences. His forces being not more than one-fourth of those of Santa Anna, the withdrawal of them to a position where they could resist repeated assaults, would have been positively necessary.

This is 6 question of cleaning reason to know will be on clean street stronger numerically than his own, would have chanics, under the most careful supervision. A graceful condition. caused great losses, even if victorious in the end. ‘The whole of the force of the enemy would not strike at him atone time, but repeatedly. Repeat- ed attacks would lessen his vigor of defence ; be- cause, if the Mexicans advance against him in the first instance with 5000, and these were routed; another 6000, fresh from the Mexican ranks, could continue the attack ; then 5000 more, and so on, General Taylor’s whole force being all | the time occupied. We have a great opinion of | the coolness, courage and intrepidity of Generai Taylor. His danger with so small a force con- sists not in the supposed impossibility of his beating the enemy, but in the impossibility of re- sisting the weakening assaults of successive at- sacks of the enemy, and to cover himself unti! ‘einforcements reach him. General Taylor will have been sensible of his danger on that account on discovering the enemy So superior in numerical strength ; and if he has | fallen back from Agua Nueva at all, it is for the | purpose sf concentrating the two commands of | Saltilloand Monterey. He may have evacuated ‘Saltillo without encountering the eneiny; and the | latter may have been repulsed only at the Rin- conada Pass. The enemy was not repulsed at Saltillo, or he would not be heard of beyond it, on tha road to Monterey. We donot think it possible | that General Tayler, after 4 loss of 2000 men, could retreat, after enough of hard fighting, to killand wound, four of twenty thousand. His Strength would be insufficient to retreat suecess- fully, pursued by an army which would be stil! sixteen thousand strong. The battle reported as having taken place in the streets of Saltillo, may turn out to have been S revolt of the citizens against the garrison, on | hearing of the approach of Santa Anna. Such a movement was announced as likely to take place by the Governor in the locality of that post; and» Mf we remember rightly, he was threatened by General Worth. If General Taylor thought it pradent to move to Agua Nueva, he must have done it because he thought Saltillo untenable. If, therefore, he shall have believed Agua Nueva untenable, also, against se superior a force, the movements to Monterey, oa the approach of the Mexicans, is accounted for; and the conflict will, as already stated, have taken place only at the Kinconada steam vessel, however perfect, may be greatly in- jared by alterations in adapting her to new duty, or by over lading; and, above all things, required to be well engineered to carry out the views ofher projectors. The introduction of steam into our navy create of course, a new grade of officers, whose duti | are, in the highest degree, important, and in | lew: whom any want of skill or mechanics would lead at once to the most fatal consequences. We are not aware how engineers in the navy, are at pre- sent selected, but it is certainly very essential that it should be after searching examination as to their abilities and knowledge of the monster pow- er they attempt to control. We say this much without reference to particu- lar cases, but with general reference to the man- agement of steam vessels of war.
