TREMENDOUS BATTLE
BETWEEN GEN. TAYLOR AND SAN.
Ia ANNA AT SALTILLO,

We have received the
St. Louis Evening Union
of last Saturday, which
is filled with the most
exciting accounts Of the
struggles on the Rio
Grande. There has been
a desperate battle be-
tween Santa Auna and
Gen. Taylor, a short ac-
count of which will be
found in the following
extract:
The battle commenced on the night of
the 23d, near Saltillo. II continued for
two days. The Mexicans had no artillery,
their force being composed alone of caval-
ry and infantry, numbering twenty thou
sand men, with a division of six thousand
men in the rear, SaI.ta Anna commanding
in pcIs0n.
Gen. Taylor's force numbered, when the
battle commenced, near five thousand men,
composed Of Infantry, Dragons, and Is
pieces of Light Artillery, and was making
his retreat to Monterey. He has lost a.
bout two thousand men. Tie Mexican
loss is about four thousand Eve hundred

able to retain his position, which is about
three miles from Saltillo, at Il Mill Pond,
where he possesses some natural offences,
Gen. Marshall had set out from Monte
rey with a large escort, carrying forty
wagons Of ammunition &two l~8-pounders.
1t is generally believed that he will be able
to Join Gen. Taylor in time to afford relief.
The general opinion amongst the Mexi-
cans at Camargo and Matamoros, as ex-
pressed, indicates that Santa Anna has been
badly whipped.
Col. Morgan was MORALLY wounded. and
his command entirely cut up at Seralvo,
and other points along the line OF obscrva-
ton, extending from the latter place to
Mier.
| am in hopes that i; will be foundhe was
only slightly wounded and his commsnd dis
persed.
A train of one hundred and twenty way
ons had been captured by the MeAlcans.-
They murdered all the teansters and the
escort of twenty-five men. They have also
captured a train Of sixty wagons, though
nothing definite as to the disposal Of team
stcrs and escort. They have likewise cap
tured a hundred pack mules loaded with
Suffers goods.
Gen. Urea is marching en- to attack Nat
amoros, with about four thousa and men.
