You will probably, before the receipt Of
this, have heard OF the two bloody and well
contested battles we have had with the
Mexicans My last was written from the
battle field of our last fight, but At that time
knew nothing, scarcely, Of the extent OF
the loss of our enemy On the Sth Of May
we fought lbem IN open prairie; but the
distance Of The two armies was liulc over
one fourth of n mile and the fighting prin-
cipuIiy done with artillery. 1t was about

baggage train (abou! 800 wagons and
went out for the purpose Of giving them a

surprise we found they had rctreated We
first came to several Of their wounded lying
IN The grass, and then to a large quantity Of
ammunition which they had left the ground
was literally strewed with their dead, and
in some places | could see eight or ten
dead bodies, evidently killed by a single dis,
charge Of our pieces here we collected up
wards one hundred dead bodies which they
had Ieh without burial, and found graves
where they had buried many Uhey have
since reported that they buried here l5O)-
making their loss at least $50 killed They
had at the time Of this fight three Of our Of
hcers prisoners Of war at Matamofas, (or
whom we have since exchanged, they
saw the Me1icans carried 400 wounded
over to Ma,amoras from this battle. After
remaining on the ground until about one
