From Mexico,


The Vera Cruz correspondent of the
Picayune gives the following account Of the
engagement of Huamantla:
From Puebla, the news is OF cOusidera.
bic interest, communicating the melancholy
itidings of the death of Capt. Samuel H.
Walker of the Mounted Rifles. He Joined
Gen. Lane, with his company, at Perote,
and upon their arrival near Huamantla,
found that the place was occupied by Santa
Anna and about fifteen hundred men,
Capt. Walker, commanding bis own COM
pany and that of Capt. Lewis's Louisians
Rangers, (total 1856 men) proceeded into
tile town in advance, and finding the Next
cans prepared to receive them, Capt. Walk
er gave the orde. to charge, and the ~lancers,
who did not fall beneath the deadly fire Of
the rifles aud carbines, fed. According 10
account, Santa Anna, wLo was but a short
distance of, used his wooden propeller TO
good advantage, making another mir acu-
lous escape.
In the melee Capt. Walker killed with his
own hand a young Mexican lancer. Skis-
mishing continued until they reached che
plaza, wher. Ill Ted except the father Of
the young man who had fallen by the hands
of Capt. Walker, who seated himself be-
hind a house until Capt. w. approached,
when he sailed out, lance in hand, and
made desperate attack on Capt. w. 10 a.
venge his son. Capt. w. fired his ~revolv-
er, but unfortunately missed his aim, when
the old man killed him with his lance and
fled, exclaiming that he had avenged tho
death of his son.
Capt. Walkers last words TO his men
were, "Although your captain has ia Hen,
never surrender, my boys" AS soon as
Capt. Walker had fallen, Capt. Lewis took
command of the battalion and ordered the
streets and other places to be secured,
which was Immediately done, and but a few
moments elapsed before the village was en-
|tirely clear of the hostile portion of tie in
habitants. The loss Of the Americans l
have not been able TO ascertain, but it is
very slight. That of the Mrxicans was
severe, and an oficerof Capt. Lewis com
Ipany killed the commanding officer of tie
%lancers in the charge. The two French
gentlemen are well acquainted with TIE
old Mexican who killed Capt. w, and re-
lated TO me the circumstances connected
with his death, as received from both Mex
leans and Americans who were on the Srot.
Many Of the houses Of the village were
sacked and destroyed, aud it IS much TO be
regretted, that after Gen. Lane had passed
on, a number of stragglers, who had been
Intoxicated in the village we're put to death
by the Mexicans. Accounts vary as 10 The
number who were killed in this way, and a
private letter which | have seen sets TIE
number down at about forty men, and 9TH
Ier accounts make it larger.
