Smith previous to my arrival had made tho most judicious arrangements for turnivg and surprising the Mexican position about day break, and with which I could not wish to interfere. This cast upon my com- mand the necessity of holding the position evacuated by Gen, 8.. which wus threatened by the enomy’s artiller and infantry on the right, and a large force of his cavi ry on the left, About day break the enemy opened a brisk fire of grape | and round shot upon the church and village in which my brigade was posted, and also upon a pxrt of our own troops displayed to divert him on his right and trout, evidently unaware of the movement in progress to turn hia porition by the left and rear. This contioued until Cok Riley's brigade oponed ita fire frou the rear, which was delivered with such terrible effect that the whole dfexi- can force wis thrown into the utmost consternation. At thi juncture, [ ordered the regiment of my command to throw themselveson the main foad. by which the enemy must retire, to intercept and cut off bisretreat, and al- | though officers and men had suffered severely durin, the inarch of the night, and from exposure without shel- ter or cover to the incessant rain until daybreak, this movement was executed in good order and with rapidi- ty. The tito regiment crossed a deep ravine, ployed on both sides the road, and opened a most de- structive fire upon the mingled masses of the infantry | andcavalry, and the New York regiment brought in | lower down and on the roadside delivered its fire with like effect. At this point many of the enemy were killed and wounded, and some 65 captured, of which 25 were officers, and among the latter was General Nicholas Mendoza. In the mean time the enemy's cavalry, about 3000 strong, which had been threatening our position during the morning, moved down towards us in good order as ifto attack. I immediately recalled the infantry to place in position to meet the threatening movement, but Son the cavalry changed its direction, and retired to- wards the capital. | pow received the order from Gen. Twiggs to advance by the main road towards Mexico, and having posted Capt. Marshall’s company, South Carolina volunteers, sud Capt. Taylor’s company, New York volunteers, in charge of the prisoners and wound- ed, I moved off with the remainder of my force and join- d the positions of the 2d and 3d divisions already en route on the main road. On this march we were joined by the General-in-Chief, who assumed the command of the whole, and th march continued uninterrupted un- til we arrived before Churubusco. Here the enemy was tound strongly fortified and posted with his main force, Probably moar 26,000. ‘The engagement was commenced yy the 2d division under Twiggs, coon joined by the first under Worth, and wus becoming general, when I was di- reoted by the Commander.in-Chief with my two regi- ments, and Pierco's Drignd e, the 9th, 12th and 15th, with the mounted howitzer battery, and ordered to gain a po- tended operations, and to be in readiness for mation of their, of their men with thet Loquesta, to join thelr town of ble character. situated on the San miles below Loqus ners taken at the m to Santa the companies of e about forty-five miles. trusion of miscellaneous troops, belonging to different arms 1 the service; this was mostly remedied, and the advance was ordered. The line continued to advance, under » heavy fire, some 30 paces in rear of the general, about 150 yards, when they were halted. ‘To general had cautioned th We the orders; but directly they halted, the genurn! Boor his position in line of battle, and at this time the squad of mixed troops upon our extrem right, already mentioned, commenced firing, and the battalion suppor- ing the ordera given, opened its fire. It was unduratood | by the firld officers to have been the genvrai’s intention to have made our battalion the base of formation of the others attached to his brigade, and that foon as the ‘whole were in line. they were to advance within easy | musket rang» cf the road, or to charge as he should | deem best, As the firing had already commenced, and did not interfere with the formation of the other batta- lion, it was permitted to continue.
