troops promptly responded, and carried the en-
emy's guns at the point of the bayonet.
SO sudden and impetuous was the attack,
and SO successful, that Arista had not time to
save his papers, which, with all his correspon-
dence, fell into the hands of Gen. Taylor.
The action lasted one hour and half, in
which time 600 Mexicans were either killed or
wounded, and the Americans took 500 prison
ers, and eight pieces of artillery. The Amer-
can loss in action was but sixty-two killed and
wounded.
Among the killed were Col. Mcintosh, Lieut.
Cochran, Col. Brown, (by the bursting of a
SHE'LL Lieut.. Eng, and one or two others, whose
names are not given. Col. Payne, Lieuts,
Gates, Burbank, Hooe, Luther, and other,
were wounded.
We regret to say that Major Ringgold, who
was SO severely wounded in the action of the
9th, died on the 10th inst, and was buried the
next day with the honors of war.
The total loss of the Mexcans in the two ac-
tons of the sth and 9Th was at least 300
Inc Mexican force amounted 10 at least six
thousand men, while that of the Americans on
the ground did not exceed / 600 men.
An exchange of prisoners took place between
the two armies subsequent to the action, by
which Captains Thornton and Hardee, and
Lieut.. Kane, have been returned to the army.
Lieut.. Deas was not demanded, and still re-
mains prisoner. Among the prisoners taken
by q ZEN. Taylor, was General Vega. For him
two American officers were offered in exchange,
but it was declined to give him up, save in ex-
change for an American officer of equal rank,
whenever one should be taken.
Gen. Vega and two Mexican Leutenants
were sent over by General Taylor on the Col.
Harvey as prisoners of war. Gen. Vega was
allowed to be accompanied by one ofhis aids, a
American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-05-25
EIGHT DAYS LATER FROM MEXICO.

ElGH Il DAYS LA lEh FROM MEhICO.
The New Orleans papers contain dates from
Vera Cruz to the 4th inst. The Bee says:
The U. S. Squadron was stationed off Vera
Cruz, consisting of the Rartan, Falmouth,
Potomac, st. Marys and John Adams. The
squadron had not received intelligence of hos
tilities having commenced on the Rio Grande.
friend has placed in our hands the des-
patch addressed by Gen. 'MEJIA to President
PAREDEs on the Sd ult. We have already por-
tons oft, but one or two Passages are so rich,
that we cannot resist the temptation of ex-
tracing them. Take the following for in
stance: After stating that he preferred waitl
ing for Ampuda, in order to strike decisive
blow "that not single Yankee should escape"
he adds:
81 have also strongly attacked the moral
courage of the enemy, introducing anarchy
between the two Generals and disgusting them
with each other, and Worth, the only man of
knowledge, has asked for his passport; if he
goes away, as believe he will, Taylor alone
will'remain, who is more despcable than the
lowest Mexican mechanic"
After this brilliant prelude, he goes on to
mention and of course magnify the assertions
from the American camp, and concludes his
precious epistle as follows:
sin short the triumph of the Mexican arms
is past all doubt, either with all our troops, or
with those have. Should the enemy pass
the river, their tomb is OPEN"
CROPS ON THE EASTERN SHORE. We re-
greet, says the Easton Star, ''to say that the
wheat crop in Talbot is very seriously injured
by the fly. From all sections of the county
we hear complaints Of its ravages, and have
seen several fields which cannot produce half
crop" We also learn from the Cambridge
Democrat, that the growing wheat in Dor
chester county, which was so promising
week or so ago, has been greatly injured by the
fly.

FROM THE ARMY.
Important Ne,os fran the .Army = Three
dayS' Battle-Brikiiants success " The fine
rican Arms, and Capture Of M0nierey.

The New Orleans mail last night brought us
highly exciting news from the army, announcing a
protracted battle with the Mexican entrenched and
fortified army, and the glorious triumph of the Anne
rcan arms under General TAYLOR. We compile
from the New Orleans papers the most prominent
particulars of this battle so honorable to the brave
ry of the American troops, volunteer as well as re-
gular, whose victory was not achieved, however.
without severe loss. Many brave officers and men
fell, and total loss 500 killed and wounded
The enemy, it seems, had strengthened Monterey
with various fortified batteries, the cover of which
gave their army, estimated at 1000 regulars and
some thousands of rancheros great advantage over
our exposed troops. But neither their fortresses
nor their bravery, such as it was, could withstand
the ardent courage and gallanry of the American
batalions. The leading and chief assault-the post
of honor-was given by the commander to the Chi
valrc WORTH and his gallant division, and nobly
did their victorious valor justify the commanders
confidence.
