The report Of the death of Colonel
McClung, Of the Mississippl volunteers,
was unfounded. II was thought he would
recover. Lieut., Graham, 4lh Infantry,
was still alive, and hopes were even en-
ierlained that he would recover. Major
Lear. Sd Infantry, was doing well, and il
was believed would recover.
Lieut.. Dilworth, LIST Infantry, has died
Of his wounds.
Capt. Owen Formerly Licutenani Of
the Baltimore Battalion, len Monterey on

him for many interesting details. lie in
forms us that the American loss in the
three actions is set down at flee hundred
and sixfy-one killed aud grounded. Our
correspondent, wiring on the Goth ull.,
makes the loss a little less, but it had not
then been ascertained with precision.
The Mexican loss has not been, and pro-
baby never will be ascertained with GER
tainiy. 1t is believed TO exceed one thou

The great subject canvassed in the ar
my continued to be, the terms granted 10
Gen. Ampudia. Officers and men were
so assured that few hours more fighting
would have forced them TO an uncondi-
iIonal surrender, that it vexed them TO
have their prey escape. One explanation
attributes to Gen. Taylor generous for
bearance towards a gallant foe. Others
say that Gen. Taylor yielded with reluc.
lance TO the opinions Of the three officers
next IN command, to whom the matter
was referred in council of war.
No active service was anticipated by
the army for long time.
Brig. Gen. Marshall, of Kentucky, had
