Of the War Department having made a reouisi-

BILE they have not yet decided but no such call
has been made. AS 10 Captain Thornton, who is
reported in one of these papers as being now in

from that service, and to be sent to the active

erected a platform for il in the fort, and turned il
upon The enemy with The most destructive effect.
Captain Ridgely, after pointing the gun himself.

delight when his shot told well among the enemy

C"i. HAYs.-Ihere was one instance of per.
sonal conflict which might recall to mind The DAVIS
of chivalry. Col. Hays, of the LIST Texas noun.

rank. and a fierce contest ensued. The Mexican.

to gain information of the Mexicans. On his

A MEXICAN OFFICERS BAGGAGE.

we had a funny scene in our companv th;a
afternoon. Two or three of the men, while out
On picket, found a mule load of baggage belonging
to a Mexican officer. The animal had probably
stanpeded during the retreat of the day before
and lorreJon's men were in too great a hurry In
hunt up runaway mules. The letters found wouId
show that the owner was Don Ignacio something
or other, captain of the Sd company of Guanainato
cavalry. and TO set forth that Don Ionacio was a
man OF some consequence, he had a scaIle coat of
the finest broadcloth, covered with pure silver
hutt"ns, oTnamented with rich silver embroidery.
ana upon the breast of which was an order. His
cap was of blue velvet, richly ornamented with
silver band aud tassels, while his cavalry nsnta
looms, OF blne broadcloth foxed with morocco, had
a wide stripe OF red down their outer seams
Among the baggage were also a mattress, several
pillows the cases of which were elaborately
worked, and other fine bed furniture, and in add.
ton 10 all this, as if this were not enough. there
were some half a dozen red, green and fonIed
petiIcoats, a dozen pair of beautiful little pink.
o'ue ana white satin slippers, TO say nothing of a
dozen neatly wrought linen camisas-alI the
wardrobe of some pretty Pobiana girl, who had
doubtless followed Don Ignacio to the wars.
After all this " large and elegant assortment
MAD been opened, our orderly sergeant-,he son
OF a member of Congress from Tennessee-rigoed
himself out in the snowy uniform of the Mexican
officer, and strutted forth 10 detail a picket guard
uecioenIy me best dressed man in the invading
army from Gen. Taylor down. IN the meantime
there were others who girt the Poblana's petit
coats about them, and then executed divers Cra-
coviennes and Cachucas, to the great amusement
OF the bystanders and to The great danger Of SIAM
peding all our horses. Altogether the scene was
extremely dlvertlng, and put it down as a little
episode In the life we have led Of late.
The letters found were principally from the
family OF the officer, but there was one from Gen.
Cortszar, dated at Celaya ABOUT the latter part of
August IN which that general warmly hopes that
Don ignaclo may be successful in assisting to drive
The perhdIous invaders of Texas from the coun.
