IDENTIFY founded on imperfect reports OF the real
state of facts The rumors circulated here that
Santa Anna and Valencia were taken prisoners we
believe are totally unfounded
In regard to the train under Major Lally the in
tegence is favorable. We are informed, from

passed Perote and been on his way in safety to
Puebla. He made some delay in Jalapa We

Intelligence reached COL WILSON on the morn
ing of the 9th ultmo that Lieut.. David Hender-
son, of Capt. Fairchilds company of dragons, and
his party who were sent out by Captain Wells on
the 9th OF August to apprize Major Lally of the
approach OF relnforcements, were all shot by the
guerrlllas. There is little or no doubt of the cor
