From the moment he was wounded have
not LEFT him, nor will I cave him till he is
perfectly cured. We have the greatest
hopes, and who know him am certain we
snail save him. He supported the amputa
ton with heroic Courage, without faintine.
The first dressing has been taken oT, and
the Wounds have good appearance. He
had only slight access of fever when the
suppuration took place, and it has inconsi.

the oath of allegiance, and had removed

of the 10th instant, general engage
ment took place here, in which the whole
Of Salcedo's force was brought against

nishing bravery completely defeated the
enemy, with the loss Of 81 prisoners,
and about $50 killed and wounded on
the part of the encmy and only 2 kill

our troops were slight, and all are near

and the troops on the marchtowards ST.

slowly, as by information received this

if Salcedo can keep them together until
