the Americans to union, independence and

obedience to constituted authority in the de-

NAoOAD NODR1GO, Jan. 20, 1872.
lhls day the divisions of the army fell back
to near their old quarters previous to the siege,
but mine remains here to repair the works,
which are In wonderful state of forwardness:
even now the place would not be taken with
out battering train and regular works. We
are also constructing new battery, and en-
larglng the Saint Francisco, both outside of
the walls, on the only near ground command
ing the city. A Spanish garrison is shortly
expected, and we shall probably remain here
tor three weeks longer, though we shall see
some of the Dons before the expiration of that
period, when we move our march, which will
only be to Gallegos, or somewhere therea-
bouts Head quarters move tomorrow q be-
leve) to Frenada, but imagine another and
more considerable move will take place in
month or six weeks, in the direction of Cas-
tel!o Branco, that is towards the Alento, as it
is confidently expected that Badaios will be
attacked III April. understand sufficient
train is already in Lisbon for the purpose, as
the Elvas guns are too old and bad to be used.
Shops are beginning to be formed, but as yet
every thing is abominably dear; bread lad per
To- fresh pork 2od; bacon Is moist sugar
halt a dollar; butter half dollar even oil
tor the lamps cost Is and I'd per quarteltha.-
The enemy were so much alarmed at our TAX
ing this place, that they removed most of
their stores from Salamanca, and have now
only about 1000 men in that garrison, which
they are attempting to make ditch round,
but 1t is almost impossible to prevent an army
at any time walking into it. Msrmont is high
ly enraged, and says Lord Wellington took
advantage ofthe traitorous disposition of the
governor, or we never could have taken it. The
frost is Just now breaking up, and therefore
We may expect somewet weather: however
the new works will not be hart by it. Gepe-
raj Crawford did not survive his injuries. He
was buried in the works with great pomp.--
He is much regretted by all.
