acton The enemy was first attacked between the
towns OF Cholula and Alxco, and pursued to the town
OF Atxco, where the Mexicans, under the valiant Gen.
Rea, made stand. 1t short one, however, as the
unerring ain OF the deadly American rifle drove
them from their position, and caused them to seek safety
in precpate retreat leaving (by the account OF the
Flag over 200 dead on the field, and as many more
wounded. The number OF the killed and wounded OF
the enemy is, no doubt under the mark, as Mexican

Mexican who was in the action makes the number
of the Mexicans killed 2l9, and wounded 300.
