To the Voters of Pike
County:

Various considerations unnecessary here
to mention, have prevented me from re.
spending sooner to the invitation of "Cui-
vre" in the Journal a few weeks since, and
various other friends who have kindly So
licited me to become a candidate for the
County Clerkship.
Whilst tender to them my sincere &C
acknowledgements for the interest they have
manifested in my behalf; after due refec-
ton and consultation with friends, l have
concluded to become a candidate, not for
the County, but for the Circuit Clerkship;
and in doing so, beg leave to say most re-
sp~ectfully, that it is with no view of oppo-
sing any Of the respectable gentlemen now
before tho people, but mainly, for reasons
entirely personal to myself. Though I high
ly esteem the good wishes of my friends, it
still, not merely for the purpose of COM
with their solicitations, that I offer
my services to the voters of Pike for the
Office in question. I have alarge and help
less family who are dependent entirely on
my personal labor for support. My pres
ent business, though entirely agreeable to
me, and one, which l am well persuaded
from experiment, must succeed if well at
tended to, requires capital to carry it on.
Of this indispensable commodity, I regret
10 say, about all have, consists in my per-
'onal labor, and the confidence of my
which however useful in them
are not adequate to the successful
prosecution of my business, without ~involv-
ng myself in debt. For these reasons,
and the further consideration that there
are already great many candidates for the
county clerkship, and prefesing personally
he other, l have determined to become a
candidate for the circuit clerkship. With
,ut intending to detract from the qualif-
Of other gentlemen, l trust with
'ome confidence, to be able, should / be
to give satisfaction to the people,
~ a prompt and efficient discharge Of the
iaties of the Office.

From the Statement IF Mexican officers

their loss in the recent action is moderate
|ly estiamted at 800, and may reach 10000
or 10000 deserters. Many officers of rank
were lost. l enclose a list of the names Of
our own killed and wounded, made as CON-
.plete as practicable at this time. One re-
.giment, Kentucky cavalry, is n t included,
its return not being rendered.
The enemy had fully reckoned upon our to
tai rout, ard had made arrangements to in
Itercept our retreat, and cut off the army,
~stationing for that purpose, corps of cav
airy, not only Immediately in our rear, but
even below Monterey. l regret to report
that they succeeded neal the village of Ma
nm in destroying . train Of supplies, and
killing q considerable number of the escorts
and teamsters. Col. Morgan, I'd Ohio regi-
ment, on his march from Cerralvo 10 Mon
terey, was in invested BY the Mexican cav
airy, with which he had several ~rencontres,
but finally dispersed them with small loss on
his own part. Captain Graham, A. Q. NJ,
volunteer service, was mortally wounded in
one of these ARRAYS. ! have no doubt that
the defeat Of the main army at Buena Vista
will secure our line Of communication from
interruption, but still propose in a
few days to change my headquarters to
Monterey, with a view to make such fur
ther arrangements as may be necessary in
that quarter.
The dispositions made to harass our rear,
vindicate the policy and necessity ofdefen.
ding a position in front OF Saltillo, where a
defeat has thrown the enemy far back into
the interior. No result so decisive could

r. SIM have the honor to report that
,syiug become assured on the Goth inst,
that tile enemy had assembled in very heavy
fore, at EEncarnation, thirty miles in front
of Aaua ,Nusra, with the evident design of
attacking my position, l broke up my camp
at the latter vlace o. the 9lst., and took ur
"a strong line in front OF Bueca Vista seven
miles south of Saltillo. A cavalry force
left Aqua Nueva for the purpose of cover
ing the removal Of supplies was driven IN
during the night, and on the morning Of th.
cpd, the Mexican army appeared immedi-
ately in front of our position. At ii O'Clock
a. M, a flag was sent, bearing from Gen
Santa Anna q summons of unconditional
surrender. To which ! Immediately return
ed anegative reply. The summons and my
reply are herewith enclosed.
The action was commenced late in the af-
ternoon between the lightiroops on the left
flank, but was not seriously engaged until
the inorning of the 23d, when the enemy
made an effort to force the left flank of our
position. An obstinate and sanctuary con-
fict was maintained with short intervals
throughout the day, the result being that
the enemy was completely repulsed from
our lines.
An attack Of cavalry upon the rancho Of
Buena Vista, and a demonstration npon the
city of Saltillo itself were likewise hand.
somely repealed. Early is the night the
enemy withdrew from his camp and fell
back upon Aqua Nueva, a distance of
twelve miles.
Our own force engaged at all points in
this action fell somewhat short OF $500 men,
while that Of the enemy, from the state
ment Of Gen. Santa Anna, may be estima.
ted at 10000. Our success against such
O..eat odds is sufficient encomiuin on the
GOOD conduct Of our troops. In more de-
