Too Major Fay was lame and in bad health.
ard while the shells were coming into camp
thick and fast, was advised To 70 to town. tie
cot a little belDw The ranch a, Bueua Vista on
hl- way, when the lancers overlook him IN ,l-ir
charge upon the train, and mnngicd his body
lreadiuIly. His body has since been hunted W
md dfcsn,y buried. He h,d 10 arms Of any
kind-was a favcriie with the regiment, and
every man in i, would have risked his own life
to save him, could they nave had the cppor,u.

Santa Anna was stationed on q height four OF
five miles Of, with ,py-glass in his hand, and
four Of The ileetest horses in Mexico hy his side
ID make bis escape, if it should become neccs-
-ary. This contrasts remarkably with General
Taylor, who was hardly out Of reach Of their
batteries, and rode "tha. zane old bay horse"
hist moves about as the Gen. lunches him
with his knees, and never was known To move
hsiCr than dog trot. Decidedly, tie General
was in bad tx for run.
Gen. Wool also did noby in the whole ofthe
light, and deserves ell praise. As heard a col
incl say OF hm,-he was always exactly where
he was wanted, at exactly the rish. timd. Lii
lie as all his command liked him as an officer
while they had no fighting to do, they all now
accord to him the credit ofbeing splendid Gen
rral in the field.
took a walk over the battlefield yesterday
morning. and though have no inclination 10
revcr, 10 the scene, ! mus, mention tina, the
Nexicans left over bundled OF their wounded,
whose groans are still ringing in my ears. They
were picked up during The day, and taken care
# by our surgeons. The Governor Of Saltilo
was ordered by Generol Tayl,r to send up men
to hurry their dead, and to-day a squad of about
30 finally made their appearance to perform the
'aj Office. They dug holes foo, or Two deep.
and pitched them in heller tkcl,er. first stripping
them Of every stitch Of clothing. On going up
10 their camp to-day, about a dozen of their
wounled were found in a gully, with their
wounds dressed and still alive. They were also
taken care ".
February Am election was held to-day in
our regiment, for Colonel, and resulted in the
unanimous choice Of 1t. Col Wea,herford.--
major Warren was elected Lieut. Colonel; and
Captain Richardson elected Major.
Col. Hardin's servant is here with his
clothes, sword, saddle and other articles,
which sad relics he is abou, to convey
to the late oolorel's friends a. home.
The colonel was sho, in the neck and
thigh, and pierced also with lance. ".
