The remains of Col. L.. D. Wilson were escort

Tie Escape Of Major Gaines and lNidship-
man Rogers. Mr.. Kendall ia his letters 10 the
Picayunes states that Midshipman Rogers was not
on parole at the time Of his escape, but that he
was at large in the Capital, under a bond with a
money penalty no. to 60 beyond his bounds.
Lea tning that the American officers were to be
removed to Toluca, and that there was no pro ba-
bility Of their being exchanged, he started off in
the night towards Chalco lake in boat. Arriv-
ing there, he started ON horseback through the
mountains with guide, and reached Puebla in
safety. He reports that Santa Anna has not so
many men as has been sated-lhat he has not
more than $4,000 who are well armed and well
organized, He probably did moi know that Va
lencia had arrived with reinforcements from San
Luis. Both Rogers and Lieut. Semmes who
was sent on by Com. Perry to attend to his case
will 60 on TO the capital whenever the, army
moves, and take part in any game that may be
there played. In relation 10 young Rogers it is
said he came off with the knowledge and by per-
mission of his surety. ...- L al.--..rl-....
On the 4th inst about ten o'clock at night, Maj.
Gaines reached Puebla, having passed safely
through the entire Mexican lines. 1t seems, says
Mr. Kendall, that on the Monday before all the
American officers were ordered TO the head-quar
tiers Of Gen. Lombardni and were there told that
they must prepare, in twelve hours, 10 move to
Toluca. All of them, save Majors Gaines and
Boreland, and Capt Danley, gave their paroles
that they would proceed to that place; But. Maj
Gaines distinctly told Lombardini that his parole
was at end--,hat he did not ask for its renewal
nor should he accept it. On Tuesday, morning
the officers, with three exceptions above named,
started in the stage for Toluca, and on the same
night, Mai. Gaines, accompanied by trusty Mex
ican guide, set out for Puebla, and after being
once in the hands Of the guerrillas, and running
very narrow risks besides, succeeded in getting
through in safety He informed Lombardini dis
inctly, through the interpreter, brother Of Al
monte, that he should not give his parole for Tu-
uca, and anticipated being arrested and put under
guard at once; but not thinking probably he would
attempt 10 escape, he was allowed to depart The
sequel is known. 4 &c.,. ...... l-.....,.f. ....s. :ra
