CAMP BUENA VISTA Aug. lS47.
Yesterday morning Two horsemen came gallop
ing across the plain in front of headquarters; and the
tout ensemble of one soon made it evident that he
was no less celebrated person than the ecce nitric
Captain Tobin, of your city. From the appearance
of his face, primd fdcie evidence afforded Iha
some attempt had been made carry the puenie
natural Of his nose, but that the enemy had been
rePulsed not without some bloodshed our side
however. His bandaged arm announced that he
himself had borne a hand in the engagement. IL
appears that his illustrated 6gure-head had beer
produced bY fall from his horse; aud, to u6ridge
the Story he had struck rock in tight place "
and thus received The injury. With the Captain
was Mexican in very brown leather breeche<
who forthwith presented himself 10 General Wool.
He had just arrived with a small quantity Of CT
gars. from San Louis Potosi, which place he left
on the morning oi the 14th inst, having made the
trip IN eight days News had been received in
San Luis up to the 9Th of Angus: which lime ii
was confidently expected that the Amerean army
would be down upon them IN very few days II
being understood that they were. TO march by the
Sth inst. Santa AUna to sally out and meet
forces, and if absolutely necessary, fall back
upon the ciuV-a result which the Mexica rs feared
II General Scott did move anticipated. you have
by this tine received the news Of another hard
foug ut but Zurous batle-anolher victory of our
arms.
This man reports that there were but about | 500
troops al San Luis, and that he saw none on the
route except at MaIehuala where there were
about 800 also. He knew that troops had been
raised at Durango and ZacaIecas. but was not
aware Of their destination. He did not come by
the way of Zacatecas and Mazapif, and heard Of
no troops beng at the latter place. There We're
several guerrilla parties on the road between San
LUIS and hi> place, who had robbed a number of
Mexcans; but he did not, luckily for HIM, fall in
with them, or they night have Puffed his cigars
more than was agreeable 10 a modest. unpretend-
ing dealer IN the article. ......- .. .-.
An American merchant also arrived from Mon
clova the day before yesterday, but brought no
news Of any interest. Everything perfectly quiet,
and the inhabitants rather favorably disposed
towards u.s. Governor Agurre, the distinguished
gentleman whoa1 nearly had the honor OF
'bdggiug," had been there some time md done
! nothing. He sent out express to some unknown
point one day last week, and, upon its return. de-
parted on the l5h with escort of about forty
wel-armed men. Where he was bound was a
problem, but very like to his doahoe of hacienda
This is all the news have TO offer so odios.
