On the morning of the 10th, the train of wag-
ons and the troops entered the city; the Boletin
says that the wagons are filed with sick and
wounded On the Oath ult., il was rumored in
Vera Cruz that Father Jarauta had attacked the
train a short distance the other side of Jalapa,
but that he had been driven back by our troops,
with loss on both sides
In addition to the foregoing we have been ia
vored with the two notes following, the first Of
which is a translation from the Spanish =
JALAPA, Aug 20, 1s47.
The American army, after much suffering on the
road has been again attacked at Los Rios by 700 que
ras. and badly enough treated Even before the en-
trance into Jaspa there firing Last night, at
o'clock the Americans entered the city firing and
treating minus He was assoed by Of the que
rias This morning they ssnt dag Of truce , to the
they should enter as friends or as foes but

There are rs wagons and sos men, among whom SIT
wounded and sick-Nsjor Laly Is sick-the horses
remain hers some time It is said that Father Jsrauta
will attack them to night But nothing more.

wound received in Of the attacks Major Laly's
ommand, and others by fever.
We do not entertain any doubt that the train,
as mentioned above, had passed Perote, and gone
on in safety to Puebla.
Intelligence reached Colonel Wilson on the
morning of the 9th ult., that Lieut., David Hen
derson, of Captain Fairchild's company of dra-
goons, and his party, who were sent out by Capt
Wells, on the 18th August, to apprise Maj. Lally
of the approach of reinforcsments, were all shot
by the guerillas.
There is little or no doubt of the correctness
of this sad intelligence Lieut.. Henderson was
a resident of New Orleans, and but recently en-
barked as volunteer in his country's service
he was printer by profession, man of cour-
age and enterprise, and his fate will be sincerely
lamented by his numerous friends.
