that place As they approached within few miles OF it,
they were met by courier from the Acads or chief

Satio to San Luis Potosi The Mexicans, in their
treat performed the march Mt great sacrifice Of life
the Americans cannot accomplish it-rst because the
would
deprive them of this necessary element Of existence
next because they could fnd no provisions the way
distance Of two hundred and fifty miles-and because
il would amount TO almost absolute impossbility
convey the necessary forage and provisions ever the
mountains in the line indicated There would seem to
be probability, then, that junction can be formed
with the two wings OF army at San Luis Poosi-the
one marching from Tampco the other from Monterey
and Salllowhch, report has been saying is to be the

Anna had challenged Gen. Taylor TO meet him with
10000 men, pitched battle between San Luis Potosi
and SslGllo Rough and Ready replied, that
he would have 10 900 efficient men under his command,
he would meet him any where, whatever might be the
strength Of his forces.

express arrived there from Gen Wool, at Monclova II
