which, according 10 what have learned, santa

linus al the beginning OF the summer, they VIII
be scattered all about The county, at different
points, SO that at no single place they may nave

Mexican army. Thus The advance into The
country will cost ihe North Americans large
sam Of dolIaIs, which will be touching Them IN
tender point, as they value dollars more man
lives and money more Than the blood Of their c.
,izsns. Besides the loss OF time ana Inc eAorui-

are three times as great as those oi Inc mexican

they will perish daily BY hugdreds, both men and

climate and in a shor, time their regiments VIII

This is in brief The plan which, according lc
information gathered from several persons, who
| believe 10 be we'll acquainted with snch affairs
| have been abe 10 trace out, but must remark
that The whole compol is not diyulsed. IL Is sait
that Santa Anna will not leave San Luis Poiosi
although some movements and apparent marche:
will be praciised. So that the enemy may believe
thai he is abou! 10 leave The word "enemy" i
me only one BY which the North Americans car
be properly designated here; for II would De ann
cut for me TO explain 10 you The mortal hatred
and burning desire Tor vengeance, which hre al
Mexican bosoms.
atvery necessary precauion has been taken
and all means are daily used, 10 collect al Sal
Louis Polosi all possible provisions and mum
lions Of war. Ii is believed that the Norll
Americans are determined 10 leave Saltillo ant
Tampcu: they will move towards San LOUIS
and there fight the great decisive halle as SAM;
Anna will not leave that city, and will keep iher
constantly about 2o GOO men,
