across Mexican dollar, and thinking ID
better to bring home than paper, put il in

They soon descended from their nest TO their out
work. Captain Vinton threw forward ono compa-
ny OF skrmishers to decoy the Mexicans from their
fastness, and they came too, cavalry and infantry
when our whole communal rushed forward and
charged tho Mexicans so galIantIy that they had
not time to stop at their Castle Lieut. Ayres, the
foremost Of all, rushed 10 the top Of the Castle and
tore down their flag In a few minutes Uncle
Sans handkerchief was waving in lis stead. Gen.
Worth then moved the rest Of our force to the Cas-.
lie. and we at once opened heavy FIRE upon the
enemy from the Castle with field pieces,a IL pound
brass cannon and short thrty.two pound howitzer,
which were IN the castle. This made six pieces of
artillery our division had captured. We kept up
our FIRE until late, and remained in the Castle du-
ring the night
The writer, after bringing up his account; to the
evening Of the 23d, adds:
Next morning the firing was resumed, aud in its
midst a white flag appears. With il came propo-
sails for surrender. Ii is needless for me to tell you,
il was a hard fought battle and gSllantly won.
OF the Texans he says. " They are gallant set
Of boys-perlect dare devils. They'll do any thing
they are told to do Major Cheyalier, one Of The
Texan officers, asked TO 60 with Captain Smith TO
storm the first height mo" says Gen Worth, IL
want Capt Smith to command that party" There
shall be no difficulty about that" says the gallant
little Major an go under Capt Smith" Aud
this malor Is out idlr sample OF tue Wnole oouy
Col Hays has gained great reputation among our
oficers.-Walker has won laurels
The letter concludes as follows:
Gen. Worth is the hero OF this affair; he did the
most Of il, and los, only about thirty killed and
wounded while the main body Of the army LOST
about five hundred. The Mexicans, il is thought
lost about the same number We get thir,y.fvc
pieces Of artillery by the surrender. After exami
nation. we found that we had not begun the hard
est Of the work. All are satisfied with the condi
tons Of the truce, which lasts for sixty days, OK
cept perhaps some Of the Texans.
