2sd and 23d may be relied upon that
il was brought from General Taylor's
camp to Monterey by Paymaster Coffee
who was bearer Of dispatches from Gen
Taylor, but who could not get farther
than iha, place with them.
The dispatches were sent thence by q
Mexican, who had not got through by
the last accounts. The news received
nj Camargo was the substance Of these
dispatches, brought by an express rider,
who was nine DAYS making the trip
through to Camareo, being compelled Ia
make circuit OF five hundred miles. Ia
escape the Mexican forces and rabche-
ros that swarmed in the valley.
Nmhing had been heard Of Col. Cur
tis since he left Camareo 1t was thought
that Gen. Urea would fly before him as
soon as he ascerislned the oyerwhelm-
ing defeat Of Santa Anna.
Private letters had been received nj
Snltillo az late ms to the 9th ol March, NJ
which time Gen. Taylor was at Buena
Vista. The following letter was receiv-
I'D at Alaiamoros, by Mexican mer.
chant of that place from a Mexican ol
Sallillo. II was dated on the 9Th March,
and gives the only account Of the man
ner IN which the battle was fought that
has vet been received.
AT 3 O'Clock on the 22d ult. the bat
ils commenced at Buena Vista, five
miles from Sahillo The fight opened
with artillery, and destructive can
nopade was kept open until sunset
No decided advantage was obtained by
either side the loss on both being very
great.
son the 23d, u, 10 O'clock, the bat
tie was renewed and KEEP, up without in
ternission until bali past three IN the al
trrn"on Both armies were closely en-
gagged during the whole time. General
Wool advanced with strong detach-
mrn' against the Mexican army but was
driven bnck with immense loss.
"The Mexican cavalry charged up
on him with drown swords and d,d great
rxocn,ion rs Wooi ieH back Gen. Tdy-
Ia" nirdnced NTH jreSh troops and repel-
I'D Me Uericans wiM great slaughter =
This charge decided the battle, which
wns not again renewed.
"The nu,ubrr Of killed and wounded
was very great on both SIDES can on
ly estimate the number by the cart loads
of wounded that have entered this city
hnm both battle fields.
"On the 9Th both armies hung off
without coming Ia general engage
mrn--each occupied in carrying of
,b"ir wounded and hurying their dead,
"Atter the cath there was no more
fighting - ihe Mexican troops furnishing
with hunger became convinced that they
Gould not triumph or drive Gen. Tay lo'
from his position, and retired"

sCP Santa Anna, in n despatch writ
ten on the field of battle, in the evening,
SAYS the combat was not decisive. He
acknowledges the loss Of 1000 killed and
wounded, and calls the American loss
1000. His own horse was killed under
him by grape shot, and his old wound
re-opened in consequence of being on
horseback two days. Ills men had lived
on meat alone many days, and he had
not biscuit nor particle of rice for
his sick and wounded. They had suffered
from hunger and thirst for fory-ei ghi
hours He captured three pieces OF
artillery, which other accounts say were
40, given up until every nan at them
was shot down, and every horse killed
near them, and The securing ol them cost
the Mexicans some six hundred men -
Santa Anna says the defile where Tay-
lor took his stand, may be compared To
the Pass Of Thermopylm. A short time
after writing Santa Anna was in full
retreat.

put the vote upon each candidate recon-
mended by the committee, in succession,
and they were all agreed to with nearly
entire unanimity. The meeting was then
addressed by the Hon. ROBERT B. GRAMS
TON, in brief, but energetic speech,
principally as to the Importance of
a united effort to sustain the Constitution
and State Government, and urging sur
render of all minor differences of opinion
for the accomplishment of that all impor-
tant object. AS Mr.. c. concluded his
remarks, the Hon. ii. Y. CRANsroN came
into the Hall, and was received by the
citizens with three hearty rounds Of ap-
pause. Having been called upon by the
Chairman, Mr.. c. proceeded to address
the meeting, and urged, at much length,
the motives for union and energetic effort
in the pending election, drawn from the
high character the State maintained
abroad for its conservative principles,
and the necessity, in the present condition
of affairs, Of keeping that proud flag fly
ing to which so many eyes had been
turned in the darkest hours. Mr.. G. ell
oquently urged on adherence to great
as our first duty, and that all
individual feeling should be merged in
a devotion to the public good, in crisis
so eventiul as the present. Though
laboring under the effects of severe
cold, Mr.. C.. extended his remarks to
many collateral topics, and pressed their
application to the points before mention
ed with energy and effect.
Mr.. C's remarks being concluded, no
tice was given Of meeting Of the Ward
committees on business referred to them
and the meeting adjourned.
