THE APPROACH TO THE CITY.

ade, also advanced towards the city, by the
aqueduct leading into the city at the gate
of Piedad which is commanded by the
Citadel. On each Of the routes the two
columns met with decided and stubborn
resistance, and after the advance Of Gen.
eral Worth's command had reached the
gate Of San Cosme, the FIRE was SO hot that
they were compelled temporarily to abandon
it-and did not make permanent lodgmen:
until towards evening. when portion OF
the siege train battery was brought into
action, as also piece or two Of mountain
howitzers, which hurled the shot and shell
about the ears Of the enemy little hotter
than they desired. Gen. Quitman's column,
with the rifles at their head, continued
steadily and cautiously on, taking position
and breast.work as they came in contact
with them, until they arrived near the gate
Of the city. Here the firing was so heavy,
both from small arms and artillery, that it
was deemed prudent to carefully re-
connoiter it before attacking. According
ly Lieu,s. Beauregard, Of. the engineers,
Lowell, Of Gen. Quisman's staff, and Van
Doren, Of Gen: Smiths staff, went forward
to ascertain the position Of affairs; they re.
turned, and upon their report, the Ritfes,
supported by a small force Of infantry,
was advanced forward for the purpose Of
picking off the artillerists, which they did

captured the main work, with two pieces of
artillery, which Capt. Dunn turned on the
retreating enemy. Gen. Quitman was
himself among the FIRST to mount the breast
work and plant the standard thereon, at
o'clock; the enemy then formed, and three
times attempted to charge US and retake
the position, but the unerring and deadly
fire of the Rifles, together with volley Of
grape from Capt. Dunn, SO cut them to
pieces that they would not approach nearer
than rifle shot. The third time they tried
to advance under the cover of the arches of
the aqueduct, but if ever Mexican poked
his head ou. for the purpose Of slipping
from one arch to the other, some rifeman
would be sure to put ball though it.

One may appear noble in the midst Of
