The following we learn from the n. O. Delta
He reports that on the l7lh instant detacbmen;
n 200 regulars and $50 volunteers proceeded TO
3s,ila and took possession Of it; and established
military depot.
On the nigh; of the 10Th, an express arrived IRON
Gen Taylor. stating that be had crossed the no
Grapde and taken the city of Ma,amoros without
o,uosticn-the Mexicans having fled the clty-and
deserted from their ranks in battallions.
Two regiments. with the exception of about $50,
having marched few days previous. were stationed
aBrazos Point awaiting The orders oil Gen. lay
or as it was thought they would leave on The 2oIn
or Ma;amoros via the old Barita road.
Col. McIntosh, Capt Page, and all tn. others who
ver.wounded in the action of the eth and 9Th, are
q, Point Isabel, and nre recovering.
TIE Telegraph is just &c hours from Point Isabel.
Can't, Aud. of the Telegraph, who has had oppor.
,uuies for obtaining correct information has given
Us some interesting particulars in relation to our
Army operations.
We have now scarcely time 10 allude to them
The escape Of Capt. Thornton at the time his com
papy wes 50 badly cut up, is almost Incredible
After carrying him safely over high hedge, en-
closing which he had been decoyed his horse
brought him safely over fences and deep ravines
swimming the Rio Grande above Mstamoros.
Then passing down below the lowe on the oppo-
site side in attempting 10 leap broad dl'ch' he
missed his footing, when both horse and rider were
thrown by the fall The. Captain was 30 stunned
ha, be was soon after taken up by the Mexicaus
perfectly unconscious of what had happened.
After the battle of the sih, he was exchanged and
restored TO our army
Capt Aud thinks The whole number of our killed
and wounded must amount to more than 300. Be.
sides the wounded taken 10 ST. Joseph's, there are
now SC III Point Isabel too badly wounded 10 be re-
moved. All but three it is thought will recover.
There arc three Mexican prisoners having but one
leg between them all.
Alter being shot in the arm, Col. Mcintosh re-
ceived a bayonet wound in the mouth 1t passed
through one side OF hs head there are hopes OF his
recovery.
The condition of the brave and esteemed Capt.
Psge is melancholy indeed; the whole OF bis lower
j.w, with part Of his tongue and palate, was shot
swny by grape shot.
He however, survived. though entirely incapable
Of speech. only communicating his thoughts by
writing on a slate, and receiving the necessary nu-
men, for the support of life with much difficulty.
He does not desire to live, but converses with
eheeriuncss and EMULATION upon the success of our
Army.
All our accounts represent the Mexicans as hav-
Ing fought on the 9Th and 9Th with the courage and
desperation which would have reflected credit upon
he troops o! any nation
They were nearly in q state of starvation, and
bad been promised the ample supplies OF The Amer
Esu camp in case they would secure the victory.
They met the charge of our troops mantully, and
stood the dc structve fire that was pouring IN upon
iOem without giving way. unit! the works were Ell
cuabered with the dead and wounded.
