At the date of my ‘last letter General Rocha, at the head of the government forces, was purauing the retiring rebels, and had nearly reached the city of Zacatecas. On the 3d of March his march was sud- deniy interrupted by a terrible fire upon Rochi adyance guard, which consisted of cavalry, under command of General Corellia. Tnis took place avout’ one league from Zacatecas, where a stand -had been made vy the rebels, who desired to take advantage of tho naturally fortified position, as presented by the three bilis known as Bolsa, Bufa and Grilla The former was held by Pedro Martinez, Latn Lar= railaga and others; the second by Trevino, Donato Guorro, Marange and others, and the latter by Garcla de la Vadena, Doctor Martines and oth It was evident that * THB HOUR OF A DECISIVE BATTLE had come, and the contending forces were to make the herculean siruggle to conquer. Tae pumber of the government forces reached about tem thousand, while that of the rebels was about sevem tonsand flye hundred, Rocha was compelled to halt im order to make @ reconnoisauce of the postr tlon and give the corresponding orders for the attack, As the ground was exceedingly brokert cavalry were entirely uselees, except to prevent the turning of flanks, for which reason the contest was" to be one of infantry and artillery almost entirely, ‘With the odds apparently in favor of the revels, aa they occupied the hetghts, and on the mountain called Bufa possessed earthworks, upon which @ considerable heavy artillory was mounted, Note withstanding all these circumstances evidently favoring the rebels, Rocha moved up his infantry in line of battle to the very foot of Bufm under the” partial protection of his artillery, and then prepared to make an assault At this moment the ime was changed to columns, one of witch, moving to the right, was under command of Fuero; another to tne left, under that ofa subaltera officer, and the third or centre was under Goueral Rocha himself, and which con- tained troops of his special choice. ‘The resistance of the rebel infantry and artillery was directed against the centre columns, the twa flanking columas peing looked after by the cavalry. The first advance of Rocha’s infantry Jn the assault was fully met by the rebels and driven back. At this moment it appeared that Rocha must be des Ieated, but the rear guard, consisting ofthe Tent, and Fifteonth infantry, having been ordered to the front, a general rout was prevented. ‘The command to assault having been renewed, ang Colonel Fucro having uuexpectedly been able to double the enomy’s left position and reach the heights, the rebels became demoralized and begam to retreat, leaving the fleld to the government forces, This took place about dusk and after a.nard fight ot avout five hours, THE KILLED AND WOUNDED on both sides in the engagement were about two thousand, The infantry and artillerymen which fell into the hands of Rocha are said to have bér longed to®ne forces of General Norl, and had pre- viously been captured by Martinez, ané-incorgo ratea with his own forces at the time of the formeg defeat of Neri, six weeks ago, Noting is known of the military exccutions by Rocha, which naturally followed his victory, The public have called for hig. list, but have not obtained it, lcis knowa thatsome of the principal rebel leaders fell Into is hands, and yet it is argued, from his general reputation on this point, that he musi have SHOT A FEW HUNDRED CAPTURED PRISONERS. The rebels on rettring changed their tactics, and, Alviding their forces, one portion have moved ia the direction of Monterey, another towaras Di and a third, ander Garcia de la Cadena, towards t canyon of Juenipeia, They are being pursued—one by a column undor Rocha, another by o columm under Corella aid tug tiled by General Sanches Ochoa. , ‘The rebels have clearly loz’ all courage, and ins tend either to abandon the contest or carry on @ general warfare during the rainy season, with @ view to destroying the agricultural products of the country, thus striking a blow at the resources of the government. . It 1s most probable, however, that the revolution has received its final blow, and after the predatory bands shall be disposed of that we shall enjoy another period of peace. What a blessing to Mexico it such peace could be permanent! The following 1s the text of the telegram sent by Geueral Rocha from Zacatecas, March 10, to Gene eral Mejia, announcing his victory over the reva- lutionists in the battle of Zacatecas, otherwise called. the battle of La Bufa:— CITIZEN MINISTER OF WAR—The Getatled acconns of the battle‘of Zacatecas | send to-day by oxtraor- dinary. In order that you may form some idea of it before it arrives I will state the enemy had over nine thousana men, ali their leaders belng present, Jatiacked them with 5,060 men. They lost 700 meth 4 killed, more than one thousand prisoners and 000 fugitives, The leaders escaped with small de- \achineats, All being summed up do not amount to 2,000 soldiera, : We took from them thirteen pieces of artillery, two flags, many Wagons loaded With ammunition oni a great many arms and untforms, 7 We nad 400 Killed and wounded; of the latter more than three hundred are in the hospital. The battle concluded just av night. 13 clroum- stance and the broken nature of the grouna made @ pursuit by our cavalry useless. ROCHA, DUSCH HEINRICH.
