The Victories in Mexico—Tribute to the Me. mortes of the Gallant Dead. Yesterday being the day appointed by the joint committee of the Common Council for the pur- pose, a solemn and respectful tribute was paid to the memories of our distinguished fellow citi- zens who fell-in fighting the battles of their country in the present war with Mexico. From sunrise to sunset, the national flag was displayed at half mast from all the public buildings and hotels, from the shipping in the river, and from every place of amusement in the city. Every- thing Wore a sombre and melancholy appearance, particularly so in the early part of the day, when the sun was obscured by masses of dark lead- colored clouds; occasionally a slight shower of rain fell, and it required no great stretch of ima- gination to think that nature was weeping over the loss of some of her treasures. From 12 0’clock to one the bells of our differ- ent churches tolled a solemn requiem. The occasion was a sad one, and will be grate- fully remembered by our citizens. During the celebration of the day preceding, and when the sun was within about an hour of finishing his daily course, the general effect was much enhanced by the appearance of a beautiful rainbow, which spanned the city like a triumph- alarch. It was beautifully sublime, and its va- riegated and melting tints appeared to commingle with the hue of the thousand brilliant flags which ornamented the thousand flag staffs scattered over the city. As might be expected, it was much admired, and by many looked upon as the harbin- ger of additional good tidings from the seat of war. Whether it was or not, we will not under- take to answer; but certain it was, that within two hours after its appearance, the glorious news of the utter rout and defeat of the Mexicans at Cerro Gordo reached our office by telegraph. May we not now hope for peace ? Minrrary Movements.—A detachment of two hundred recruits, being Capt. Andrews’, company C, th Infantry, and Capt. Duff’s company, 3d Dragoons, left yesterday afternoon, on board the brig Mobile, for Point Isabel, to join the division under Gen. Taylor. Capt. Andrews has com- mand of the detachment ‘Theatric~:. | Panx Tneatne.—Mr Forrest concluded his engage- | ment, and received « benefit at the park Thoatre, last evening. Hoe appeared in two of his great characters, viz: “Oraloosa”’ and “ Willliam Tell.” Mr. Anderson will commence a short engagement at this establishment | next week. in which he will personate many of his best characters. To-morrow evening he will appear in the tragedy of * Gisippus.” ~Of course there will be a con- tinuance of the large attendances that marked,Mr. For- rest’s engagement, and which were so flattering to that distinguished actor. Bowery Turatne.—The Bowery was crowded last evening, the occasion being for the benefit of Mrs. Shaw, and her last appearance. The principal picce of the evening was the tragedy of “Hamlet,” in which Mrs, Shaw herself, appeared in the character of the young Dane, The performance met the approbation of the very large audience. whether nny one of hersex, now upon the boards in this | country, could successfully compete with Mrs. 8. in its | ‘The afterpiece was “ Lucille, or the Story | * performance of a Heart,” in which Mrs, Shaw, Mr. Neafie, Mr. Hada- | peared. On Monday Mr. Murdoch | way and Mrs Booth a commences an engagement at this house. ALexanpen, THE Macictay.—For three nights more Mr, Alexander will amuse the people of New York with his wonderful afld ingenious tricks. He will perform on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday next at the same place—the Minerva Rooms. Genenat Tom Tuums.—The people of Baltimore are in eostacies about General Thumb, the man in minia- ture. He is caressed by the I€dies and patted and petted | by the gentiomem. Our citizens here would be glad to sev him back again, but we suppose his Southern tour will not admit of his paying usa visit for a long time to come Musical. Travian Orena.—In consequence of the continued in- | Aisposition of Signorina Barili, the “Barber of Seville,” was, last night, substituted at Palmo’s, for “I Lombardi,” | which was to have been performed. ‘The “Barber”? was well sung and well recived. Signora Pico has improved upon “Rosina,” since she first sung it at the close of the last season. “Lueia di Lammermoor’ was to have been given next M nday night, but Barili's illness may again prevent it. Signors Sanquirico and Patti leave, next month, for Italy, to engage a number of performers for | their new house next November. Ganvex.—Cornet’s celebrated brass band will give a grand sacred comcert at Castle Garden this | evening. Among the pieces mentioned in the pro- | gramme, and which may be seon in the advertisement, | in another column, we observe the “March of the Isra- elites,” from the snered opera of “Moses in Egypt;” Prayer, from “Der Freisehuts;” Air, “Not Worlds on Worlds,” from the “Creation; Hymn, ‘To-Night.’’ from the “Desert; “Allegro,” Hallelujah chorus, from | the “Messiah,” composed by Rossini, Weber, Haydn, | David, Schubert, Handel, kc. The managers of this fa. | vorite place, certainly deserve to be remunerated hand: | somely for their exertions to please the public. | Cunwrr's Minstaets.—On Monday evening these | far-famed minstrels will enter upon their eleventh week of performances in this city, The fact of their being so well patronized as to warrant this undertaking, is | the best comment that can be made on thelr mer and the way in which their amusements are received, ‘Tue Campanaiootans.—The patronage extended to the Swiss BellRingers has been so great during the Inst two weeks that they have been induced to alter their tion of leaving this city ns soon as ghey ex- have announced that they will remain here for six nights Castex m.

Telegraphic Despateh ‘to the New York Herald. Names of the Mexican Officers Taken. Names of some of the Americans Killed, Gen. Scott's Order of Battle. The Flight of Santa Anna on a Mule. Capture of his Carriage, Wooden Leg and Dinner. INTERESTING DETAILS. Sen, die, die. ‘The news of another decisive victory over the enemy, was brought by the steamer McKim, at New Orleansfrom Vera Cruz, whence she sail- ed on the 20th. On the afternoon of the 17thult., the advance of our army, under Gen. Twiggs, numbering 8,178 troops, encountered the Mexicans, and a severe conflict took place, entirely decisive in its results. As his general orders show, Scott’s intention was only to give battle on the 18th. The action was brought on by the Mexicans. The main battle was fought on the 18th, and resulted in the complete tr'umph of the Ameri- canarms. Santa Anna made his escape, after the rout of the army. General La Vega was again taken prisoner, with fifteen or more other officers. TELECRAPHIC DESPATCHES TO THE HERALD OFFICE. No.1. Puitapenrnia, May 8th, 1847,—P. M. Tho first charge on the 18th was made at several points by the regulars,and 2d Tennesse and the Penn- sylvania Regiments. Wounded.—1st Pennsylvania’ Regiment—John Lam- bert, —— Lindsay. 2d Pennsylvania—Jacob Simons, mortally; Edward Cruise, Thomas Hann, John Chamber, all of Philadelphia, Rangers—James Shaw, Abraham Row, Withelm Fred- erick Summers, Ampudia wasin the battle, but neithof he nor Santa Anna ventured within the lines, but prepared to run the moment the day seemed to turn against them. Ampu- dia was near being taken, close to Jalapa. ‘The army was on the advance towards Mexico. Accerding to one account General Shields was still alive ; according to another he was dead. The American Eagle of Vera Cruz.of the 20th ult., re- presents the scene on the top of Cerro Gordo as truly horrible ; dead bodies of the Mexicans literally covering the ascent and the top ; a collection of wounded of both parties, side by side, and surgeons busy ainputating limbs and dressing wounds. ‘The Mexicans, when they gave way, started down the bill, receiving the balls from our men in their backs. General Pillow’s wound is slight. The Mexican force was, at the lowest, put down at 12,000—some accounts say 15,000. The Mexican officers were paroled, and with the soldiers sent about their business. The generals will be sent to New Orleans—La Vega among thosmhaving refused parole, An Ex-President is among those on parole. Generals Patterson and Smith were not in the battle; they were confined by sickness. ‘The advioes from the city of Mexico are to the ninth ult., via Tampico. Santa Anna had issued a proclamation, announcing the fall of Vera Cruz, and attributes the event, not to the want of Mexican valor, but because of the intermin- able discord ; declares that he will sacriftce himself, and die fighting sooner than to permit the Americans to tuke their imperial capital, &c. Since then, he has changed his mind and fled at Cerro Gordo. The Arch-Bishop of Mexico was sick. No. 2. Puitapremia, May 8th, 1847. Aftor the battle our army proceeded on towards the city of Mexico, Santa Anna’s conch was used as a con- veyance for Major Sumner and other wounded officers. General Shields was dangerously wounded, and it is thought, can hardly recover. Major Sumner’s wounds are not dangerous. Neither Santa Anna or Ampudia took active part in the battlo, and the word was soon vamos with them; the latter was nearly taken, but did not have to lay down his arms, as Santa Anna did his leg. The Mexicans lay in heaps on the top of Cerro Gordo after the battle—all their wounds were in their backs, ‘Their force was near fifteen thousand. ‘The dates from the city of Mexico to the 9th, state that the clergy of the capital had agreed to furnish the government with a million anda half monthly, snd other bishopricks had made similar promises. It appears, by the following, that the official despatches had not reached Washington on Friday e¢ening :— [From the Washington Union, May 7.] We understand that no despatches have been re- ceived from General Scott by this evening’s mail. They are expected with great impatience. Meantime, we congratulate our Country again on this glorious triumph of our gallant arms. Annexed is the correspondence of the Picayune: Puax pet Rro, April 17—11 A. M. ‘The division of General Twiggs started two hours since, and a heavy cannonade has already commenced upon his line from the farthest of the Mexican works. ‘At intervals, too, the rattling of small arms ean be heard distinctly from the dragoon camp, where I am writing this. It was not intended, | believe, that General Twiggs should open the fight to-day, at least to bring on a. general action. and it is therefore pre- sumable the Mexicans have commenced upon him. P. M.—I have just returned from the scene of con- , and a bloody one it has been, considering the number engaged. this side of the farthest Mexican work, and on which there was no one seen last evening, was found occupied by the enemy's light troops this morning, and to force it waa at once deenied indis- nsable, For this purpose, the rifles, under Major muner, besides detachments of artillery and infantry, were ordered to charge up the rugged ascent, ‘This they did in gallant style, driving the Mexicans, after a | reaistauce which may be put down as most obstinate. | Great numbers of the enemy were killed, while on our | side the loss was also severe. Major Suinner was shot in the head by @ musket ball—severely, but not mor- tally; Lieutenants Maury and Gibbs, of the rifles, were also wounded, but not severely, as waa also Lieutenant Jarvis of the second infantr, I could not learn that any of our officers were killed. ‘The entire loss on our | side, in killed and wounded, is estimated at about one | hundred ; but from the nature of the ground—broken, | covered with brush and thick chaparral, and extremely uneven—it is impoasible to tell with accuracy. Nor can 1, at this time, give even the names of the officers who | were immediately engaged. | About 3 o'clock the enemy made a demonstration from | the fort on the neighboring height tothe one our men had captured, as if with the intention of retaking it; but it all ended in marching down the hill, blowing a most terrific charge on their trumpets, firing a few shots, and then retiring. Their appearance, as they came down the slope, was certainly most imposing. The cannon on the height, meanwhile kept up a continuous fire upon Gen. Twigg’s lines, yet doing little execution other than cutting down the trees and brush, As we returned to camp, the fire still contimued—the enemy had_ evidently rained the position of the road, which had just on cut, with accuracy, but their balls principally went er. Gen, Shields, at 3 o'clock, was ordered out to support | Gon. Twiggs, with three regiments of volunteera—two | from Iilinols under Cols, Baker and Barnett. ‘They will have warm work to-morrow, if the Mexicans stand up as they did to-day. There has been not a little skirmishing to-day between the forage and beef parties, sent out in the rear, and the rancheros, One Illinois man was killed, and one of the sane regitnent anda Tennessean wounded, 1 could not learn their names. ‘To-morrow the grand attack. both upon the front and reat of the enemy. is to be made, Gen. Worth is to move at sunrise, and little peace will the Mexicans have for one twenty-four hours at least. Puax pet Rio, April 18—4 P.M. ‘The American arms have achieved another glorious and most brilliant victory. Outnumbering Gen. Scott's force materially, and occupying positions which looked iinpregnable as Gibraltar, one after another of their works have been taken to-day; five generals, colonels | cnough to command ten such armies ax ours, and other officers innumerable, have been taken prisoners, together th 6,000 men, and the rest of their army driven and | routed with the loss of everything, ammunition, cannon! | baggage train and all, Nothing but the impossibility finding # road for the dragoons tothe rear of the onenay works saved any part of Santa Anna’s grand ariny, in- ye owe Hustrious person. oi ong the prisoners ia o wi fought-with U4 yur old friend La Vega, jonger.

No a of dragoons on the other si | is, his travelling coach, have been otherwise? The and recky road, through rugged defiles and dense chaparral troops, is now lined with our wounded. Col. Haskell’s Tennessee volunteers, the Ist Artillery. the 7th Infantry, and Capt, William’s company of Ken. tucky volunteers, have perhaps suffered most. General Shields was severely, and | am fearful, mortally wound. ed, while gallantly leading his brigade to storm one of the enemy's farthest works, Gen, Pillow was also wounded, although slightly, while fortidca- tion on this side, commandedtby La Vega. - All the fleld officers of Col, Haskell’ Togiment ‘were at the same time, save himself, Of the Rifles, Capt. Mason has lost a leg, Lieut. Ewell has been wounded, Lieut. McLane, slightly. 1 have already mentioned the gallant Major Sumner and other officers wounded yesterday. I have specified some regiments above, which signal- ized themselves: it happened to be their fortune, in. the disposition of the battle, to fall upon what all good sol- diers may term pleasant places—the most difficult works to storm—and bravely and without faltering did thr execute the perilous duties assigned them, At 1 o'clock this afternoon, Gen. Twiggs, whose division has been in the hardest of it, was pursuing the flying enemy to- wards Jalapa. Pierson, who commanded the forts nearest Plan del Rio, asked of Gen. Worth time to con- sider before he eapitulated. | Desirous to como to terme, Gen, Worth gave him fifteen minutes, and he surren- dered unconditionally! Had he not done so, the slaugh- ter would have been terrible. { write in great haste, and have no time for particulars. ‘The names of the killed and wounded I will ascertain as soon as possible. I think that 500 will cover our entire loss. Had it not have been forthe positive cowardice of Santa Anna and Canalizo, who ran, before the battl at least in brave men’s hands—was half lost, it would have been far greater. No one, at present, can estimate the loss of the Mexicans—they are scattered on the hills, in the roads, every where. ‘What disposition Gen, Scott is to make of the prison- ers, isyet unknown, He may set them all at liberty on their paroles, from the difficulty of feeding them, and to accelerate his own advance movements. We shall hear by to-morrow. I wigh he could send the officers at least, to the United States, for there is a fine string of them. [ [lt is now impossible to name officers who have dis- tinguished themselves. | cannot, however, omit to men- tion Cols, Harney, Riley and Childs, of the regulars; Cols. Baker, Forman and Haskell, of the volunteers, as every one is talking of them. I write this in great haste, and with noise, confusion, and every thing else around me, You cannot appreciate the victory. To describe the ground and fortifications of theenemy, the difficulty of turning their outer works, and the toll and peril undergone by the troops were im- Puan pet. Rio, April 19—Forenoon. The rout of the Mexicans last evening was total—com- let They were pursued within four miles of Jalapa by Gon. Twiggs, at which point there were none to fol- low, Santa Anna himself, instead of entombing himself ax he threatened, escaped by cutting the saddle mule of his team from the harness of his magnificent coach, mounting him, and then taking to the chapparal. His service of mastive sliver, nearly all his papers, his money every thing in his carriage, even to his dinner, was captured. I have a capital story to tell about this din- ner when I have a moment to spare. ‘The Mexican loss upon the heights was awful—the ground in places is covered with the dead! Among the bedies found was that of Gen. Vasques, and near him was Col. Palacio, mortally wounded, Their loss in the retreat was terribly severe—every by-path is strewn with the dead. Had our dragoons been enabled to reach them in season, all would have been killed or captured—Santa ‘Anna among them. Canalizo, with his noted lancers, had the prudence to bamos early. ven up to this time it is impossible to give anything like a full or correct list of, our wounded officers—it is surprising thet many of them were not killed, Licut. Darby, a gallant young oflcer of the topographical engi- neers, was badly but not mortally wounded, while storm- ing one of the heights. Lieut. Ewell, of the rifles, is supposed to be mortally wounded. ‘This regiment has suffered terribly. Lieut, Dana, of the 7th Infantry, was badly wounded; Capt. Patten, of the 2d, slightly. Lieut. Davis, of the rifles, was very badly wounded in the hip. Major Sumner, of the 3d Dragoons, but commanding ri- fles, is improving. ‘The list of killed and wounded officers in Col. Haskell’s command yesterday I have been able to obtain. It should hore be stated that Captain William’s company of Ken- tucky and Captain Charles Naylor's company of Penn- sylvania volunteers were attached temporarily to regiment. Here is the list:— Killed—Int Lieut, Froderick B, Nelson, commanding company; 2d Lieut. C. G. Gill, company E. Both these officers Were from Memphis. Wounded—Lieut, Col, D, H, Cumming, slightly; Ma- jor Robert Farquharson (of the Ist Texas volunteers, nasigned to this regiment for the day) severely; Ist Lieut. Wiley P. Haile, Adjutant, severely; lat Lieut, W. Yearwood, mortally; 2d L Srrest, lightly; Capt. A. 'H. Murray, severely; 2d Lieut, George Sutherland, Kentucky volunteers, severely. ‘The regi- ment, when in action, numbered less than 400 men, and its loss was 79 in killed and wounded. ‘La Vega was in command of the Cerro Gordo on the firat day of the fight, but a deserter from our dragoons, a German, going into their camp at night, and inform ing them that the main attack was to be on the right of their line—the work so fiercely attacked by General Pil- low, he changed places with Gen, Vasquez. The latter, aa [ have already: stated, was killed—La Vega defended his post until the lines of the enemy were completely turned. Several Mexican colonels have been killed, but their names | have been unable to learn, A brother of Gen. La Vega, a colonel of artillery, was severely, and as is supposed, mortally wounded. Hundreds of cases of individual gallantry, in storm- ing the different heights, are mentioned, Col. Childs led on his command on the first dey until he had only some ‘forty or fifty men with him. It is also said that Capt. Magruder followed up a charge until he had but nine soldiers left, 1 cannot now recollect one-tenth part of the instances of almost reckless daring displayed, but shall endeavor to pick them up, I shall also send you on ‘full return of the killed and wounded if | can obtain it, ut at present it is almost impossible to get hold of any- thing. ‘The wounded are still along the roads for miles, although they are bringing them in as fast as possible. ‘The army is to advance towards Mexico immediately Gen. Worth’s division marched this morning—General Scott is to march at noon. Santa Anna’s coach isto be harnessed up for the purpose of carrying on Major Sum- ner—better use than it was ever put to before. ‘The officers and men of the Mexican army—I mean such as are prisoners--are to be turned loose om their parole not again to take up arms during the war. Per- haps it is the best disposition that could be made of them, as any other course would delay Gen. Scott's for- ward movement. Fifteen of their officers have refused to sign, but have given their parole of honor to report themavives, without delay, to Col. Wilson at Vera Cruz, ns prisoners of war. Among these are Gens, La Vega and Jerero, the latter Governor of Perote during the time the Texan prisoners were there, and I believe dis- tinguished for his good treatment of them ‘These offi- cers will either be kept in the castle of 8, Juan de Ulia, or else proceed to the United States, Gen, Shields is still alive, but it is considered im ble for him to survive. ‘The ball went through his lungs as he was leading his men to storm the farthest work of the enemy. I write this amid confusion of all kinds, and with no other table than knees. A hundred Mexican officers are around me, making out their paroles, while our own dead are being carried by and consigned to their long renting place by the roadside. I shall start on for Jalapa this afternoon, and will write by every opportunity, I send you some Mexican papers, as also Santa Anna's last proclamation, It te rieh. P.S.—I have just learned that there are some hopes Shields. God grant he may live . Baker,who charged on the last fort, lost forty-five n in killed and wounded, out of only a’ portion of his regiment. Lieut. Cowardin killed; Lieut, Murphy sup- posed to be mortally wounded; Lieut, Johnson wounded in three places, and thigh amputated; Lieuts. Scott, Froman and Maltby, wounded, ‘The following general orders were issued by General Scott the evening before the battle of the 18th :— Heap Quarters oF THe Ansty, Plandiel Rion April 17, ad?

James by 4 regiments—one or two taken from Shield’s brigade of volunteers. If not, the two volunteer regiments will march for that purpose at daylight to-morrow morning, under Brig. Gen. Shields, who will report to Brig. Gen. Twi, on getting up with him, or the general-in-chief, if he be in advance. The remaining regiment of that volunteer brigade will receive instructions in the course of this day. ‘The first division of regulars (Worth’s) will follow the movement against the encmy’s left at sunrise to-morrow — As already arranged, Brigadier General Pillow's brigade will march at 6 o'clock to-morrow mornin along the route he has, carefully reconnoitred, an stand rendy as soon ashe hears the report of arms on our righf! or sooner, if circumstances should favor him—to pioreo the enemy's line of batteries at such point—the nearer the river the better--as he may se- lect. Once in the rear of that line, he will turn to the right or left, or both, and attack the batteries in re- verso, or if abandoned, he will pursue the enemy with vigor until further orders, ‘Wall's field battery and the cavalry will be held in re- serve on the National Road, a little out of view and range of the enemy's batteries, They will take up that position at 9 o’clock in the morning. ‘The enemy's batteries being carried or abandoned, all our divisions and corps will pursue with vigor. This pursuit may be continued many miles, until stopped by darkness or fortified positions towards Xa- lapa, Consequently, the body of the army will not return to this encampment ; but be followed to-mor- row afternoon, or early the next morning, by the bag- gage trains of the reveral corps, For thie purpose, the feebler oMcers and men of each corps will be left to guard ite camp and effects, and to load up the latter in the wagons of the corps. A commander of the present encampment will be designated in the course of this day. As soon as it shall be known that the enemy’s works have been carried, or that the general pursuit has been commenced, one wagon tor each regiment and one for the cavalry, will follow the movement, to receive, under the directions of medical officers, the wounded and dis- abled, who will be brought back to this place for tre ment in general hoepital.

(From the Now Orleans Delta, April 39) Monrerny, Mexico, April 4, 1847. Since the arrival of Gen. Taylor here, all ‘has re- mained quiet. For four weeks prior we had at least one stampede in every twenty-four hours® All the troops, and every thing of value, were removed into the Citadel Fort, strong picket guards constantly posted, and the Fort'put ina complete state of defence. There seems to be something in the presence of the old hero that in- spires every one with the belief that no harm can come Yhero he is about, With May's squad of Dragoons, and the Ist Misslaippi Regiment encamped on his old ground at Walnut Springs, apparently in as much security as when his whole army was with him. ‘The Ist Ohio Regiment is at the Citadel Fort; and the Ist Ken- tueky in the town, |The citizens are ‘returning to thelr dwellings, and the market, which has been a long time deserted, affords quite a variety of Mexican edibles. Three days ago, the Alcalde and Priest of a small town some twenty miles distant, on the road to China, came in and reported to Gen. Taylor the murder of 24 Mexicans, at Gualopa,® small ranch about six miles from Ramus. The murder was committed, they say, Americans numbering about 20, and night. The murdered men w tied, and afterwards all shot throu murder is said to have been committed on the On that night a train of loaded wagons, escorted by 200 infantry and about the same number of horse, under the command of Col. Mitchell, of the Ist Ohio Regiment, encamped at Marin, which is about five miles from the scene of the murder. The mounted men were com- posed of U. 8, Dragoons and Texas Rangers, under the command of Capt. Graham, of the 2d Dragoons. Suspicion rests upon some part of this corps, though no clue has as yet been found to discover the guilty. The officers in command—gentlemen, and rigid disciplina- rians—are using every means in their power to investi- gate the matter. General Taylor has got his steam up onthe subject, and is determined to have hung every one who, it can be proved, has taken part in the murder. The town where these men were killed is but afew a party of " was done in the h ult. miles from the place where the large train was captured, and #0 many wagoners were massacretl, on the 22d of February. Some fifteen or twenty of the wagoners who escaped from that massacre, came up in the last train, yet there is no evidence that they were engaged in tho Gualopa murder. I passed over the place of the massacre of the 22d February a few days ago, and the scene is truly the most horrid and revolting that I have ever witnessed ‘The remains of the murdered men, yet unburied, str of every particle of clothing, lay upon the tlesh devoured by Mexican’ wolves and buzearda, and their bones bleaching in the sun. ‘The train was a very large and valuable one, and stretched out from three to four miles in length. ‘The attack was made upon the escort, who were in the advance, by n large body of Lancers, The escort, 40 men, under Lieutenant Bar- bour, of the Kentucky Legion, were all taken prisoners, and are now in the possession of Urrea. The Lancers charged down the train, and lanced without mercy the wagoners as they ran for thelr lives to the c al. — More than three-fourths of them, it is thought, were killed, and their bodies shockingly mutilated aud dis- ‘Those who passed the scene afew days after, say that some had their hearts cut out and n the bushes, or thrust into their mouths ; the eyes of others were dug from their sockets, and inserted in wounds made in other parts of their bodies ; and other mutilations were performed that would make even a North American savage blush tolook at. Yet thew acts were committed by Gen. Urrea’s men—the regular sol- diers of the Mexican army ! Urea, by last accounts, was at Linares, expecting re- inforcements, It ig rumored that he has four pieces of artillery with him. Marin, Cerracvo, Mier, and China, will all’ soon be garrisoned by our troops, which will ren- der our communication with Camargo entirely safe. ‘Troops here are in excellent health and condition. ‘The Kentucky Legion leave on Monday for Camargo, as an escort toatrain. These troops have but six woeks to serve, and as it is Gen. Taylor's intention, I :hear, to discharge them at New Orleans, I presume they will not returnagain. ‘The Ohio troops have about eight weeks to serve—their turn will probably comenext. ‘The num- ber of regiments whose year will expire in May or June, now in Gen, Taylor's column, 1s thirteen, How theit places are to be filled I cannot devise—perhaps you can inform ws.
