ed for the furnishing soIdiery. The wri'
ter remarks of the battle and retreat:--
ave have suffered far greater loss than
in any engagement ever before fought 10
the count:y--upwards of four thousand
were left on the battlefield or died on the
retreat-the army was destitute OF Provi-
sions of any kind, and the soldiers were
rendered ferocious by their privatlons ano
sufferings disaffection is widespread
throughout the ranks, and | may say, the
army under Santa Anna is virtually bro
ken up" This letter also mentions the
death OF several citizens of Matamoras,
officers in the Mexican army, who were
killed in the late battle.
Gen. Taylor arrived at Monterey on
the 9th OF March with the lst Mississippi
Rifles and the Kentucky Cavalry as an
escort, and from an article in the Ameri-
can Pioneer "a paper published at Monte
rey) we infer. that he was yet there on the
18th. What day he left Monterey we are
not informed, but all accounts agree thai
he was in pursuit of Gen. Urea, We ex-
tract from letter in the Flag, dated Ca.
MARCO, the 23d ult., which purports to de.
rive its information from Major McCul-
loch:
Old lack is down on this side Of the
mountains. hunting up Urea with sharp
stick. The Old Hero is wrothy at being
assaied in his rear and having his wagons
demolished, and if he but lays hand on the
Mexican general will fay him alive. Ur'
rea will doubtless effect his escape, for he
would sooner meet the devil with odds than
Old lack. At the last accounts he was
at Linares, making a straight shoot for the
lula Pass.
The Kentucky Cavalry are here, hav-
ing been sent down by Gen. Taylor as an
escort 10 train. They return immedi-
ately, accompanying the ID Mississippi
and Virginia regiments of infantry, who
proceed through by the way of China.
In addition to the above, the Flag Of
the 9th says the Mexicans pretend that
Urea was quite recently at Linares with
1000 cavalry, but the Flag rather inclines
TO think he has fled for the lula Pass.

THE BATTLE.

The following interesting letter from our
young friend 8. S. Caldwell, addressed to
his brother, we find in the last Yazoo De-
mocrat. We are sorry that we have not
room, also, Tor the letter of Lit. Arthur, of
Vicksburg
SALTILLo, MEXICO, March Isl, 1S47.
On the 2lst February we were camped
with about 5000 fighting men at the pass
on the road to San Luis % miles from this
place, called Aqua Nueva, resting con-
tented, when the picket and our spies came
running in and informed Old lack that
the Mexican army, numbering from 90
600 TO $4,000, with Santa Anna at it's
head, had advanced within 30 miles, and
from appearance were going to march on
against us. When our old general heard
this he issued orders for US 10 hold our
selves in readiness to march toward Sal
tlllo. No sooner said than done. We
knew we had no time 10 lose, and in less
than half an hour were on our road to this
place. Our Regiment, MAYS Squadron
Thomas and Braggs's batteries accompa-
MED old lack. We pitched our tents,
raised our flags and every man of us swore
he would die before we would give up the
city. Gen. Wool took his position at a
well known pass called Bueaa Vista and
stationed his command in such a position
as 10 keep the enemy back if he should at.
tempt TO advance that night. We left one
company of cavalry at Aqua Nueva to
watch the enemy and act as a picket
Next morning al sun up which was the
2lst, the picketts were heard 10 fire the
alarm guns. We all knew, then, that
oloodshed must follow. The pickelts came
'ato Gen. Wool's camp bringing informa.
ton that the enemy we're advancing ra-
pldly and would not stop long at Aqua
Neuva as the advance guard had already
passed it. Gen. Wool despatched an ex-
press post hast TO Gen. Taylor, and by
O'Clock we were all on the ground we
were to occupy, aitho' we had 10 march 8
miles. We stood with silence at our posts
: until twenty-seven minutes past 3 o'clock

Return of the Volunteers.

The remnant of the gallant regiment of
Mississippi Rifemen, the pride and boas:
of the State, will be disbanded at Vicks-
burg about the LIST of June. We have
been requested to suggest that a County
meeting be held at this place during the
ensuing term of the Circuit Court, TO make
arrangements to welcome home the Carroll
company by public dinner, address, &c.
All will join in public demonstration to
our chivairous fellow citizens the heroes of
the war.

State and District Conventions.


We had intended to hava penned an ar
ticle this week, urging upon Our political
friends the necessity of party organization
and unanimity Of action, but we are saved
that trouble by the communication signed
estate Rights to which we call attention.
It seems to be the general desire that the
District Convention be held at GreeEesbo-
ro', on the 4th Monday, Oath day of May.
That time does not conflict with the terms
of the Courts, and we presume Will suit
general convenience. Greensboro is
nearer the centre of the district than any
other point named, and our democratic
friends thereabouts will be eager to extend
to the delegates generous hospitality.
We observe that some objection is made
in the northern counties to the first Mon
day of June as the day for holding the
State Convention, on occount of the Fed
era Court at Pontotoc commencing on that
day. We renew our former suggestion.
that the Convention meet at Jackson on
the first Monday of July.
Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1847-04-14

A general meeting of the Democratic
Partv of Carroll county is requested to be
held at The Courthouse in Carrollton' on
the Second Monday, 10th, of May next, 1t
being the first day of the Circuit Court, for
the purpose of appointing delegates to the
State and Congressional District nominal
ing Conventions, and of effecting the orga-
nization of the party for the coming cleo
ton. Every democrat in the county is re-
ouested to attend. MANY DEMOCRATS.
