PuNrIAeUDA, Mexico, Sept. Z, 1886.
Gentlemen: We arrived here, with Col. Wilson's
command, Yesterday at lG o'clock, a. m. We
marched about fifteen miles through country more
interesting than any we had before passed. Indeed,
every days approach to the mountains brings us
into a finer country; the land becoming less arid
and vegetation more abundant and fresh The
country abounds with clear running streams that
spring from the mountains. From Camargo to this
place the road passes over innumerabe beds Of lime
rock, and miserable soil covered with scattering
shrubbery and hundred varieties of the cactus
plant. Here the scene is suddenly changed from a
barren waste to garden. The camp is situated a
few yards from little ravine down which the Aqua
del Alamo rushes over lime rocks with great veloci-
ty. The Mexicans have here erected neat dam Of
lime rock and cement, at which the creek is divided
off into several canals which irrgate the farms
around Below this dam, over which the water falls
almost perpendcularly in an unbroken sheet, is a
basin Of foaming water, afording one of the most
delicious bathing places in the world. l need not
say that this basin is always occupied by the SOL
diers. About half mile from camp is large ran,

delightful region are budded together for security,

Tables were placed around the ring, upon which o

decorum, and with much taste. The seiortas, many
Of whom were, by moonlight, very. pretty, were
dressed, with few exceptions, in calico, made up
after the American style, or rather in bad imitation
of IL. They were ranged around upon the benches
where they sat very quietly, behaving very like our
country girls in Louisiana on similar occasions In
truth, the party resembled country ball at home,
the girls nsnifesting the same modest timidity so
captivating in our sweet Creole girls and the young
