the 2nd battle, 1000 wounded, and 100
prisoners, exclusive of officers. Three
more Generals were taken, among them
General Rineon, and Anaya, the provi-
slonal President; also, ten pieces Of can

$4,000 left out Of 10000, which he gives
as his force on the goth, in both actions.
Thus ended the Battle of Churubusco
one Of most furious and deadly for its
length Of any of the war. For reasons
which he deemed conclusive, Gen. Scott
did not enter the city that night, but en-
camped on the battle field, about four
miles from the western gate of the city.
The next day flag of truce came out,
and propositions were made which result
ted in an armisiice.
Meanwhile the army is encamped in

from their fatigues, and nursing the sick
and wounded. Fhere are but few sick,

A SMALL BUSINESS New York pa
per says that while Gen. Tom Thumb
was exhibiting at Hartford, last week, he
offered $500 reward for child as short
as himself who could walk. Mrs. Fo-
ley, woman of that city, thereupon pre-
sented her little daughter one year old,
and one inch less than the General; yet
she could walk alone. The reward was
therefore fairly won; but the man of small
dimensions creeped out of a small hole.
aud said he offered the amount for child
of such description, and refused 10 pay
it unless the mother would give him the
infant. This Of course she would not
do.
