Anna among them. Canalzo, with his noted
lancers, had the prudence to eanlos early.
Even up 10 this time it is impossible TO
give anything like full or correct list of
wounded officUs--iit s surprising that many
Of them wero not killed. Lieut. Derby, a
gallant young officer of the typographical en-
| gineers, was badly but not mortally wounded
while sormiug one Of the hsights. Lieut..
Ewell of the rifles, ia supposed to bo NOR
tally wounded. This regiment has suffered
terribly. Lieut.. Dana, Of the 7th infantry,
was badly wounded; Captain Pat,en, of the
Cd, slightly. Lieut.. Davis, of the rifles, was
very badly wounded in The hip Major
Sumner, of the I'd dragons, but command
ing rifles, is improving.

ams' company Of Kentucky and Capt.

La Vega was in command of the Cero
Gordo on the first day ofthe fight, but de-
serer from our dragoons, a German, going
into their camp at night, and informing them
that the main attack was to be on the right
of their lne--tho work so fiercely attacked
by Gen. Vasquez. La Vega defended his
post until the lines of the enemy were CON-
pletely turned. Several Mexican colonels
have been killed.
Hundreds Of cases ofgalantry, in storm
ing tho dffsren. heights, are mentioned.
Col. Childs led on his command ON the first
day until he had only some forty or fifty men
with him. 1t is said that Capt Magruder
followed up n eharge until he had but nine
soldiers left. The wounded arc still along
the roads fof miles, although they are BRING
ing them in as fast as possible.
The army is to advance towards Mexico
Immediately. Gen. Worh's division march
cd this morning-Gen. Scott is to march at
noon.
The officers and men Of the Mexican army
Il mean such as are prisoners--are to be
turned loose on their parole no, again 10
take up arms during the war. Fifteen Of
their officers have refused 10 sign, but have
given their parole of honor TO report them
selves without delay to Col. Wilson, at Vera
Cruz, as prisoners Of war. Among these
are Gems. La Vega and Jarero, the latter
Governor of Perote during the time the Tex
an prisoners were there, aud believe dis,n.
guisbed for his good Treatment Of them.--
These officers will either be kept in the cas-
tie of San Juan de Uloa, Or else proceed TO
the Ualcd Suites.
Gen. Shields is still alive, but i, is consid
cred impossible for him to survive. The
: ball having went through his lungs, US he was
leading his men 10 STERN the farihest work o.
the enemy.
A hundred Mexican officers are around
me, making out their paroles, while our own
{ dead are being carried by and consigned &c
their long resting place by the road side
