deotod fJt il, 1t IS the best description Of the
town that has yet appeared, and gives very
satisfactory view of the attack.
CALL ron MORE TRooPs. 1t is reported
that the President Of the United States has
made acquisitions upon Pennsylvania and olh-
or states, for additional volunteers TO reinforce
the army under General Taylor ms IS
right. A much larger force than we have at
present viii be required for the further prose-
cution Of the war, or we must abandon the
places which we have already taken, so as TO
concentrate the whole Of our men at one point.
In fact we may consider the war as only no"
about to commence; for, as Santa Anna has
taken the field, we may expect that he will be
accompanied by Il large military force. Am
puda has about 600 men, and SaIas is SAID
to be a. the head of 5000. These armies, it
IS supposed. will be united at Satillo, which
is represented to be strongly fortified. Against
these combined Mexican armies our govern
ment has, we think imprudently, resolved to
send General Taylor with some five or SIX
thousand men. This is risking too much; but
shoald he succeed in capturing SaItillo, it will
be necessary for him to pause there uRtil he
shall be reinforced, as it would be absolute
madness to send him farther with the handful
Of brave men under his command. 1t would
be to send them to certain destruction. We
think that false stop has been already taken
in removing them from Monterey; but the
error should be Immediately corrected as far
as it may be possible by rein forcing General
Taylor with the greatest despatch. We con-
fess that we look forward to the battle at Sal
tillo with apprehenson-no that we have not
the most perfect confidence that General Tay-
lor and his army will perform their duty with
distinguished honor to themselves and their
country; but that they may be foled by
greatly superior force, enjoying the advantage
Of fighting behind Qualifications.
We have still some lingering hope, that
Santa Anna will fulfil the conditions upon
which he was permitted to pass into Mexico'
and that peace will be restored to the two
countries 1t is true that appearances are
greatly against the probability Of his acting in
good faith towards our government; but still
his interest may dictate the putting an end to
the war If, however, he be sincere in his de-
