is set down in lis own report at 50. The names as
given by the Mexican papers, win be published here
after. The celebrated writer, Capt. Albert Pike, OF
Arkansas, is among the captured.
The party captured is said to have consisted
of fifty Arkansas troops and two parties of Kentucky
troops, one of twenty FIVE, the other of eighteen.
Their camp was surrounded in the night after they
had marched forty miles.
The prisoners arrived at San Luis on the 26th ult
Drums were beaten through the streets and guns

of foot artillery, with more than fourteen pieces Of

direction of Saltillo. Santa Annals address to his

seem to have doubt about it, but we learn that the
opinions of the officers in our army are various on
this point. Many think Santa Anna is in truth ON
his way TO Vera Cruz, and that the display of force

movements, and hide the weakness of the latter place
