next weekly and that Pena Pena has gone ou'
to be installed as the acting President. have
heard Mexicans say that the body has many
members who will deliberate manfuly and Sc
riously in favor Of peace, but my opinion Is,
,ha, majority Of them will talk oil litt'e save
honor, riches and glory, and las. extremt'es
and ruins, and Of being buried under them, aud
kindred nonsense. Sons Of them may DO bri6-
ed, or hired, 10 sspouse the peace slce. we
shall see.
Reon, in his letters to Santa Anna, told him
| that If he would continue the war, he would
perish by his side; but they say, tina, when the
arms,ce was broken, he remaided at Quere-
,aro and forgot all about fighting. Valiant man
| is Manuel Crescenco Rejon! but he has pru'
dent way of manifesting /! in the hour Of poril.
Parades was here in the city a few days
since, without followers, and has gone north,
perhaps towards Guadalaxara, his old and fa-
vorite ground, to stir and influence the minds
of the people agains, the Yankees, and try his
hand against them. He is.no doubt, one OF the
bravest and best generals Mexico has ever pro
duced
Gomez Farias is at Qneretaro, but we do moi
hear what he is doing. Gen. Herrera is also
there, and If any leading man in Mexico is in
favor OF peace, he is the one. His influence
however, is confined almost entirely TO The
noderados.
Mr.. Wells, the partner Of Hart in the Army
theatre, died here day or two since. He may
be recollected in the United States, not only as
pantomms,, but jas dancer and actor OF
some distinction. Capt. Pemberton Waddeil
one of the new regiments Of infantry, is also
dead, This wound Of Gen Shields, although
painful, is improving. A musket ball struck
him in the left arm at the storming Of Chapul
tepec, but binding handkerchief around 1t, he
continued with his men until every thing was
Gained. Gen. Pilaw has almost entirely re-
covered. Since commencing this l have heard
another rumor to the effect that Alverez ant
the Congress OF Puebla have risen upon Santa
Anna and put him to death. This can hardl!
be credited. Averez is doubtless in that di
rection. He took especial good care TO keeT
himself and his pintos out OF harms way du'
ring the recent struggle in this vicinity.
The loss in the different divisions. in the
s,ormirg OF Chapul,epec and capture Of the city
on the 18th, is as follows: In that Of Genera
Qui,man about 800; in that Of Gen. Twiggs
1858; in that OF Gen. Pillow, l42; in that o
Gen. Worth, 1873. Owing to his previou:
heavy loss, the latter only had about one
thousand men gagged in The last battles. Al
know it will be of great interest to thei
friends, before closing this letter, | will state
that the wounds Of almost all the officers arr
doing WE'LL can speak positively Of Colone
Garland, Majos. Wade, Waite, Loring, am
GLADDEN.; Of Cap,s. Mason, Walker, Danley
and Of Leu.s. Foster, Shackeltord, Seden, ant
Lug beel; and mention them as being SOM
OF the most severely wounded.
