THE WAR.-The Washington correspondent of the
Journal Of Commerce, under date of October 2lst,
writes as follows:
The original plan of operations in Mexico has been
Iaiely modified. The plan at first adopted would have
divided and weakened our forces. That plan was
probably agreed upon at time when 1t was supposed
Tint the Alexcans would make show of opposition
to the INVASION 1t has since been urged on the Ex-
ecutiye to concentrate all the forces upon object,
and it is asserted to-day that these necessary changes
have been made in the original plan.
1t now appears that General Wool is TO join Gen.
Taylor at Saltillo, moving by way of Cohahula and
leaving garrison there: and that General Kearney
is to march TO the point by way of chihuahua
fearfuly long march.
General Patterson, with large force, is to be trans
ported TO Tampco, and means Of transportation have
already been prepared. His force will, If found
necessary, be ordered unite with Taylor's at San
Luis Potosi; and, if not may be employed in con-
templated attack on Vera Cruz.
If this is the plan, it is sensible one and it will
prevent the danger, but too apparent, OF the uttef
sacrifice of Taylors command. After allowing for
all the troops left at Tampico Saltillo. Monterey,
chihuahua, Santa Fe, &C., General Taylor will thus
be enabled TO meet Santa Anna at San Luis with a
force of seventeen thousand men.
DIVISION OF GEN WooL.-The Victoria Advocate
of the lst inst, says: We understand that General
Wool sent his advance, consisting of about 1900 men,
on Saturday last, towards Chihuahua, intending to
follow with the balance Of his division in the

LIEUT.. E. r. PRlcE-HIs MELANCHOLY FATE
Intelligence was received at Natchez, the 18th in
stanf, of the fate of Lieut.. Ezra r. Price, who an
company with two other U. s. volunteers, hac lett
Cainargo some weeks since to join the command oil
General Taylor during his advance TO Monterey The
informant states that the bodies Of Mr. Price and his
two companions were found lying in the grass some
distance from the road leading from Camargo to Mon
terey, completely riddled with bulle-holes The bo-
dies of serenteen Mercdn soldiers rere lytng scatter
ed around them. Mr.. Price was the brother-in-iaw OF
Lewis Saunders, Jr, of hatcher, and was associated
with him in the practice of law. When the requisl-
ton was made upon the State of Louisiana for voiun-
teers. he enrolled himself in the "Sparrow Guards,
then being raised at Concordia, and was elected "a
lieutenant of the company. Upon the disbandng of
the Louisiana volunteers, he determined still to de-
vote himself to the cause of his country, and proceed
ed to Camargo for that purpose, meeting with the
above untimely fate. As he and his two companions
were armed with revolving pistols, it is supposed
they must have killed the seventeen Sfer'cans IN
most desperate encounter.

BATTLES WITH THE MEXIcANs-TerGn Victories.

Resaca de la Palma, again conspicuous at Mon
terey. Having found a twelve FOUNDER IN one of the
forts taken from the Mexicans, he erected platform
for it it in the fort and turned it upon the enemy with
the most destructive effect. Captain Ridgely, after
pointing the gun himself, observed constantly to
mount the platform with spy-glass and watch the
effect of each ball, and manifested the greatest enthu
sasm and delight when his shot told well among the
enemy. Capt. r. is said to have no superior as an
artillerist, in the army.
GEN. TAYLOR had his horse shot under him after
entering the town. He continued dismounted for the
remainder Of the days fight, exposed to the hottest
fire from the house tops and the heads Of streets
Cor. HAYs-There was one instance of personal
conflict which might recall to mind the days of chy
airy. Col. Hays, of the LIST Texas mounted regiment
encountered Mexican of the same rank, and fierce
contest ensued The Mexican, armed, besides other
weapons, with lance, rushed towards his antagonist
with his ugly weapon. Hays, by quick movement
of his fine horse avoided the blow turned his adyer
sary passed, and shot MIN dead. This encounter was
exciting, that the Americans fighting around him
almost forgot their own labors and dangers in their
intense interest for the triumph of COL Hays.
The TEXAN RANGERS are fortunate in the possess
sion of good officers. Hays is celebrated for his
GOODNESS and courage, qualities which emnently dis
tinguished him while protecting the Texan frontiers
from the inroads of the Camanches. Walker, the
Lieutenant Colonel, is well known to every body as
the Captain Walker of the first part of the campaign
Chevalier, the Major, is scarcely less celebrated hav
ing gone out alone about year since 10 the Rio
Grande to gain information of the Mexicans. On
his return he suddenly fell in with company of
Mexican cavalry. Chevaer had lost his horse and
foot. The captain of the party rode up to
him and ordered him to surrender. The. Major very
cooly drew pistol, and presenting it at bis head,
made him upon the thai he would order
his men TO keep back and permit him to proceed and
in this way he reached tie Texan settlements.
