The LIST division is encamp, in the grove
three miles east Of the town-one of the love-
LEST spots in the world, shaded by large Pc
can and live oak trees. This grove seems 10
be the only woodland in this region, and is
resorted 10 by the citizens Of Monterey as n
place for holding picnic parties. The 81, a
volunteer division, is also encamped in This
grove. Gen, Worth's Division occupies the
town. The citizens are beginning TO return
in great numbers, and appear to feel glad that
the Mexican Army has lett them.

Smith TO command that party There shall
be no difficulty about that, says the gallant lit

this Major is but fair sample of the whole
body. Col Hays has gained great reputation
among our officers. Walker has won new lau-
rels.
Gen. Worth is the hero Of this affair; he did
the most Of it, and lost only about thirty kill
ed and wounded; while The main body of the
army lost about 500. The Mexicans, it is
thought, lost about the same number. We got
thirty five pieces eff artillery by the surrender.

lasts for sixty days, except, perhaps, some Of

1t is said that Gen. Ampuda was SO much
frightened, lest the Texans would kill him,
that he begged General Worth to furnish al
escort for his security on his departure, which
was accordingly done. There were vague ru-
mors at Monterey that Santa Anna was at the
head of an army and marching to meet Gene
