THE YELLOW FEVER IN NEW OR
LEANS

Extracts from letter from New Orleans dated
Sept. ?, to friend in Springfield.
"We are afflicted with one of the most awful ep-
tdemics ever known here, or in any part of the
country. With a thin population, compared with
our usual number, the deaths by yellow fever are
not less than $50 day, though the official reports
give not more than 60, often less. Yesterday,
while attending the funeral of a friend with whom
had been during the last stages of his sickness,
1 saw thirty-tw funerals. During the day Sc
funerals passed down that road. exclusive fabout
40 bodies who were carried in the dead carts from
the different hospitals. Beside the cemetry on
this road, there are four or five others in different
directions from the city; so that have no doubt
there were near 200 interments yesterday. have
been watching with the sick for several nights and
have not had an hours sleep in the last 40 hours.
/ could tell you some heart rending scenes, but l
forbear."
The newspaper reports state the deaths in the
city for two days ending on the 9th, to be 1913

| Salas of the defeat at Conireras-one olth-
most brilliant victories achieved by our arme
since the commencement of The war-brils
liant and most important for the great results
produced with so little loss on our side. and

and the other officers engaged in II, are re-
ceivipg the unqualified appreciation Of The
whole army.
Gen. SaIas himself acknowledges that in
this battle Gen. Fontera was killed. and that
beside himself Gems Mendoza, Blanca and
Garcia were wounded and taken prisoners
in addition to a LIST of over one hundred
other officers-coIonels. captains. &c.-who
were either killed, wounded or are now in our
hands. And here let me mention one fact
n relation 10 the after battle of Churubuscoi,
which will show how near Gen, Scott was
10 capturing the entire Mexican army. Al
the time Gen. Worth was pressing upon The
tefe de pont, Gen. Twiggs upon the church,

Nothing but the daring impetuosity Of our
own men in front prevented this plan from
succeeJing-had the Mexicans held out or
our own soldiers held of len minutes longer,
The enemy would have been in a bag; as il
we're, and killed or captured to man. San
Ia Anna might perhaps have escaped, as he
has peculiar way oil his own; but he would
not have taken even the remnant Of his army
with him.
A Mexican mail was captured by party
of our dragons on lhe22d instant on its way
| from the city TO Noreo. 1t contained a
multitude OF letters dated on the 2lsf, the day
after the great battles, and they give vivid
and at the same lime most dolelul accounts
| OF their terrible and utter defeat. Some OF
the writers lay the blame on Santa Anna
alone, some on Valencia, some on Santa
Anna and Valencia, some on Santa Anna.
Valencia and all The others, while others say
that Santa Anna, Valencia and all the Off
GERS and soldiers are utterly worthless. The
latter writer's are more comprehensive, and
probably nearer the mark. The capture Of
these letters are valuable in more ways than
one-they give much information as regards
the strength and plans of the enemy, and
freely and frankly acknowledge that they
have been defeated and utterly jisorganized.

LiFRIN CALIFoNlA.-Wc find in the Roch-

one of the volunteers who went out in the
regiment commanded by Col. Stevenson,

RUMoRs OF PEAcE.-The New Orleans
Delta, of the 9th instant, states that the
Spanish paper, La Patria, has received Ia
ter news from Mexico, stating that articles
of treaty had been signed by Mr. Trist
and the Mexican Commissioners.
One account states also that Paroles
was at Orizaba, and had declared against
Santa Anna and peace. Another story
SAYS he was in battle with Valencia.
Capt Walker had caused several inhab-
itants of Jalapa, who had been concerned
in numbering Americans to be shot.

FROM THE ARMY.
BATTLE OF SAN. ANGEL.
From the N. o. Commercial Times.


The sum of the intelligence brought by
the Fashion, is of the most pleasing, as 1t
of thu, most important nature, since 1t an
nounces another victory that has crowned
the American arms-a victory that will IN
all probability be most blessed IN its re-
suits, bringing about peace between the
two hostile republics. 1t appears that the
march ofour army under Gen. Scott, from
Puebla to within eight or nine miles OF
the capitol, was uninterrupted by any re-
sistance on the part of the enemy. AT FL
Penan-a position fortified by Santa Anna
the two hostile forces first came into COL
lision, where, according to Ell Sol de An
ahuac, a division Of the American army
made an onset on the enemy, the main
body passing through Guadalupe, aud TO
the surprise of the Mexicans, appearing
suddenly in their rear.
A regular fight then ensued at place
called San Angel, situated about six or
eight miles southwest of the capital; the
result of which was that Gen. Valencia s
division of The Mexican armv was totally
routed when Santa Anna fell back with
the remainder of his troops on the city.
Here the greatest CONSERVATION prevailed,
and as the only means to stop the victori-
GUS career of the American arms, it was
decided to solicit from Gen. Scott sus-
pension of arms. A flag oftruce was sent
to the American head quarters for this pur-
pose, with view Of giving time for the O.
pening of negotiations for the renewal of
pacific relations. The Mexican govern
ment intimated to General Scott that il was
ready to treat for peace on the PROPOSE
tions brought by Mr. Trist. Thus, at the
eleventh hour, has the stubborness Of our
hitherto intractable neighbor given way, &
the best hopes may be entertained that we
are on the eve of sheathing the sword, a
consummation heartily to be desired by
every friend of humanity.
The American COMMANDMENTS Chief at
once acceded 10 the request of the Mexi-
can Government, and truce was declared.
The city of Mexico, we learn, is absolute
ly at our mercy, being surrounded by our
army. Gen. Worth al the head of his di-
vision, is in the rear of the capital, having
it in his power to cut off all the supplies
from that quarter. The decisive action
at San Angel, where Valencia's troops
were put to fight, took place on the Goth
ult Of course, we know nothing of the
details, nor Of the loss sustained in the two
conflicts by the two armies. The express
which brought the intelligence from Vera
Cruz. came by the way of Orazaba the
dispatch concludes with these remarkable
words Peace will positively be the re-
suit"
