Aqua Nuepa, March |, ls47.
Sin have the honor to report that the troops Of my
command occupied their original camp this place the
9Th Of February the last Of the Mexican army leaving the
morning Of that day in the direction Of San Luis II as.
certained that the enemy is in full retreat and in very dis
organized condition the deserving and dying Of
ton in great numbers dispatch command this day far
Encanacion to haass his rear and secure whatever mill
tary supplies may be found there.
From the statements of Mexican officers particularly Of the
medical staff left the wounded there seems no doubt
that their loss in the action moderately estimated
l500 and may reach 900 men, killed and wounded be-
sides 900 5000 dcsertes Many officers of rank were
lost enclose a list Of the of our own killed and
wounded, made complete practicable at this time One
regiment kentucky cavalry is included its return not
being rendered.
The enemy had fully rcckoned upon our total rou and had
made arrangements to intercept retreat and Off the
amy atonng for that purpose corps of cavalry only
immediately in rear, but below Monterey regret
report that they succeeded the village Of Marin in
destroying train of supplies and killing considerable nun
Der Of the escort and Colonel Morgan I'd Ohio
regiment his march from Seralvo to Monterey was in
tested by the Mexican cavalry with which he had several
contres but finally dispersed them with small loss on his own
part Captain Graham, A. .. NJ volunteer service, was
moray wounded in OF these affairs have no doubt
that the defeat Of the main Buena Vista will secure
line Of communication from further interruption; but
still propose in few days to change my headquarters to Mon
erey with view to make such further arrangements as NAV
be necessary in that quarter.
The dispositions made to haass our rear vindicae the poll
cy and necessity Of defending position in front Of Sao
where defeat has thrown the enemy back into the nte
THE KENTUCKY CAVALRY.
