A surgeon dentist, named Kingsbury. was
found this morning, most horribly cut to pie

it is thought he may recover with proper at
tention. This is the commencement Of the
guerilla system He had been attacked by
three Mexicans, and robbed of $500. The
appearance of the volunteers who brought
him in did not indicate any great indulgence
to such Mexicans as might fall in their power

and have foreborne answering, in any manner,
the harshest censure that Disconnected men
may have poured on it. We refer to letter
speaking of various supposed enormities COM
mitted at Gerralvo, by volunteer forces station
ed at that post. We speak adyisedly when
we say. that so far from any enormlty being
committed by the Americans, thay were lnpa-
riably appealed to for relief on any occasion
that demanded it j; and none were more unlver-
| sally esteemed than these same troops. Their
departure from the town was apparently re-
GREETED as a misfortune by the inhabitants
Enough of this at present.
A Sutler, who was taken prisoner by Gen'l
Urea, escaped from the guard by briblng the
Alcalde He reports that he was one OF 66
prisoners taken by the Mexicans, at different
times, on the road between Monterey and "a
MARCO The prisoners are kindly treated, and
allowed mules to ride on. They were sent
forward to San Luis Potosi, escorted by de-
tachment of lancers.

Rumor has been life during the past week
that a heavy Mexican force, say Is to 10000
is advancing upon this place, under General
Bustamente, to give us another fight. We are
prepared to take thrashing from even Busta
