From the Army.

The town has been full of rumors for the past few
days in relation to a reported engagement between
General Taylo and Santa Anna, near Salullo. All
these rumors have no doubt been exaggerated III pro-
portion to the distance they have travelled. The
first accounts were 50 contradictory that placed
but little confidence in them. As the Cincinnati Ga
zette of the 22d observes it is altogether probable
that Santa Annals advance had reached General Tay-
lors position at Aqua Neuva BY the 22d February
and this being So there is ground for doubling
that an engagement between the Mexican and Amc-
rican forces took place. The number stated killed
on either SIDE however, reads much like exag-
geration and the sudden uprising lnfowing of so
many troops the Mexicans represented TO have
had in the neighborhood of Ceralvo, and at other
points between Camargo and Monterey, is thing
which cannot be very easily accounted for-especal-
" when the maps consulted with reference to dis
tances and the topography of the country.
The mlin facts of that portion of the which
refers to an engagement between Generals Taylor
and Santa Anna, very well summed up in a letter
from Captain John q. Tod, of the quartermaster 5
department. and stationed at the Brazos, to the ed
tors of the New Orleans Commercial Times This
