We lay before our reader an account
Of the surprise and the subscqucntsur-
render Of Capt. Thornton's command.
Though not official, we have it from a
gentleman familiar with the clrcum-
stances of the case. and upon whom all
reliance may be placed. We do not
know when we have published any
thing which has afforded us such sin
cere pleasure. 1t will cheer hearts that
have been wrung with all the bitterness
Of grief, and make the nation glad:
SURPRISE AND surrender OF CAPT.
THoRNToN's CoMMAND.-On the eve
ming of the 23d ult., General TavIors
spies brought in intelligence to the cf-
feet that about two thousand five hun
dred McXicans had crossed the Rio
Grande to the Texas side above the
American Fort, and that about fifteen
hundred OF the same had crossed below
Gen. II. Immediately dispatched n
squadron of dragons to each place OF
crossing, for the purpose of reconoiter,
ing them and ascertalning their posi-
ton. The squadron ordered below
was in command Of Capt. Kerr, the one
above was commanded by Captain
Thornton, and composed Of Capt. Har
dee, Licut's Kane and Mason, with 81
prlvatcs and non commissioned officers.
The former commander, Capt. Kerr,
on arriving at the point where it was
supposed they crossed, found that the
report was false, that they had not cross
ed there, but had all crossed above,
which was afterwards proved by Capt
rs command being surprised, in
which Lieu. Geo. Mason with @ men
were killed add two wounded. The
wounded were sent to Gen. rs camb.
the army having no hospital in the
field. Capt. Thornton, IIardee and
Lieu. Kane mlraculously escaped, to.
gether with the balance Of The non
commissioned officers and men. bnt
were captured aud are now prisoners
Of war in Mexico.
The circumstances which led to the
surprise are these; After Capt. RS
command had proceeded up the RE
Grande about twcnty-four miles, and
as was supposed, TO within about three
miles Of the Mexican camp, the guide
refused TO 90 any further, and stated
for his reason that the whole country
was infested with Mexicans. Capt. +
however, proceeded on with his com
mand about two miles, when he came
to farmhouse, which was enclosed
entirely by a chapparaI fence, with the
exception Of that portion Of II which
bordered on the river and this was Sc
DOGGY ms to be impossible. Capt. II
entered this enclosure through pair Of
bars and approached the house Tor the
purpose Of making some inquiry, hi,
