teers and Regulars, had 10 stand the most
destructive fire. They were raked by fire
in front from the masked battery, and by a
cross fire from the citadel X and the batteries
on the Eas, or so many Of them as could
with advantage play on them. After being
repulsed several times from battery G, their
numbers being literally swept down, and find
ing it impossible 10 storm the battery in front,
they made diversion to the right entered
the city, fighting their way inch by inch
turned their guns on the rear the fort which
was of crescent shape, and, therefore, open
to their fire, and finally drove the enemy out,
taking possession Of it.
The Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio vol
unteers who had been engaged fighting hand TO
hand as it were all this time in the city, now
withdrew. The 81, 4th apd LIST infantry, and
the Baltimore battalion, remained as the gar
rison Of the captured position, and thus ended
the irst days fighting at the west end of The
city. Early next morning hostile operations
again commenced. RdgIey with his usual
enthusiasm, set the guns captured in the bat
terry c to play on F & and D, whilst the infan-
try and regulars resumed the fight in The streets
of the well denfeded city. After some time,
and on making sortie on forts F f and D.
it was found they were deserted, and thus our
troops had in their possession the VII lie of the
stronghods on both wings of the city. The
fighting was continued on the third day-the
23d-being within the streets of the city, it
was rather Of an irregular oder. Some de-
monstrations we're made by our large guns
against the citadel X, but up 10 the evening
of that day, when hostilltes ceased, it remain
ed lmPregnable, having within its walls a
strong armament and garrison of 600 men,
On the next day, as our readers are aware,
an armstice was entered into between the
generals of the two opposing armies. We
have in this sketch not attempted to give any
narrative of this momentous battle, having
confined ourselves strictly to such remarks as
were necessary for proper understanding OF
the above diagram.

While this was going on, party crossed the
river and drove the enemy from their posi-
ton, marked tit, and they, too, fell back up
on the city.
Thus, in one day, Gen. Worth possessed
himself Of all the enemy's strong holds West
of the city or town, and was able 10 turn the
enemy's batteries from the Bishops Palace
and the height above it on the city, besides
commanding the Western road and being in a
position 10 cut off the retreat of the enemy
The other two days, with this division, was
engaged in what might be called irregular
fighting, throwing shot from their batteries
into the town, and the Infantry pushing the
enemy in till they finally drove them into the
Plaza (marked By and its immediate vicinity.
We will now return 10 Gen. Tay Tor and his
division. Strong as naturally were their de-
fences on the West, they did not, it appears,
al least in the first instance, expect an attack
from that quarter. They, therefore, threw
the main strength of their forces into the bat
teries G, +, E and ID, on the East, and through
that part Of the city in line with the citadel
marked h. The first movement of Gen
Taylor was TO bring up and place in the ra.
vine in front of bis camp, on the night Of the
both, his ten inch mortar and two twenty
four p und howtzers. Their position may
be thus noted-AAA. They we're 400
yards distant from The citadel marked K, and
were supported by the 4tb Regiment of Ar
tilery The first division Of Regular troops
under Gen. Twiggs and the volunteer divis-
ion under Gen. Butler, were ordered to make
a diversion to the left of the town, towards
The batteries c, F. and d. The several

cut to pieces by the savagCs, was left for dead
When | looked ut the old veteran could not
but feel a trembling in my frame.
San Antonio is mostly upon the western side
of the river, and is a singular looking place
The houses are all built for decuce-heavy
and Iow-but large, with fiat roofs. 1t now
contains ABBOTT 200 inhabitants; but formerly
il contained 10000. There are few-and
but ew-Amerlcans. Weboys Gas the voIun-
tecrs are called) sometimes get to town and
take round. The principal amusement is the
iandango. The boys 90 in and pay dime a
dance with some black eyed Spanish girl, and
pass the night lightly off. The groceries
and gaming houses are we'll patronjzcd by both
sexes of the MeXlcanS, and the young Spanish
girls and men, at night, when it is fine wealth
er, all go together to battle in the river.
! have not been in with them myself, but intend
to as soon as ! get a chance. Opposite the
town, and OH this side Of the river, stands the
old Alamo, celebrated as the death. place Of
Crockett, and enc Of the most bloody masSacres
that ever diSgraced earth. A small body Of
Texans, (250 men) under the command of
IraYerst, took shelter in this place from 1000
Mexlcons, and, after a most bloody and long
fight, were overpOwered, and every soul, with
the exception Of one old negro woman, massa-
cred. They were first cruelty murdered, and
then left to rot in the vaults of the Alamo
At length the bodies were collected and burned
in the largest room, and the bones are still
scattered about the place-large piles, in fact,
are to be seen. The marks are still upon the
walls, and show to the observer that the strife
was dreadful. The marks of balls and axes,
and the print Of bloody hands upon every part
of the Alamo, tell that the slaughter was pro-
digious The old negro woman is still living
in the town, near the Alamo, and is the only
being now living who can tell a true tale of
the Alamo. She can hardly ever be prevailed
upon to tell it, and when she does she weeps
and trembles like a child. When | stood upon
the battlements of the old ruin, and contem-
plated the scene before me, and thought of the
bloody fight that happened years ago, and the
end of those Inflated and brave men, swore,
in my heart, that, come life or death, never
would give quarter or mercy to Mexican.

With your permission, will make your paper

military to say whether it shall be responded to
or not A few months have now elapsed since
"a SaaitR like movement was set on foot to secure
the disinterment ofthe remains ofthe two young
men whose names head this article. The pro-
propSiety Of such course none can question.
ManyWery cogent reasons can be adduced in
support it, Among these are the fact, that
the city has now stretched its eastern arm TO
their grave, and that streets are already laid off
leading to the yard in which their ashes slum-
Der. The time, therefore, is not far distant
when these streets will have to be extended,
even though their extension should disturb the
rest OF the warriors, who, untainted by the sell
hshness that characterized hosts ofothers whose
names are recorded in the impetshable temple
fame, and live in history, offered themselves
up willing sacrifice FOR the countrys good
Thus it is readily perceived that they will very
soon of necessity be removed; and we inquire
why not NOW; The President and Directors OF
