FROM MEXICO.
Z xtract of letter from one of the Balti-
more Battalion:

more Battalion:
PUENrE MACGoEAL,
10Th Sept, lS47
con the 9th we left Vera Cruz, with five
companies of our battalion, one company OF
the -11th and one Of the 18th Infantry two
pieces Of artillery and about one hun
bred mounted men, under Colonel
HUGHES, with nothing but four days ratlons.
We reached Santa Fe in the middle OF the
first day, and reached the bridge Of San Juan
that night, where we bivouackcd in torrent
of rain, without a tent to cover u.s.
About p. NJ. the next day, we reached
the celebrated Pass, called The Hobbers
Dem upon the heights around which the en-
envy was seen in large numbers. But we
crossed the bridge and entered the town
without molestation. As we started next
morning, lust as the rear guard left the town,
several shots were fired at us without eject,
and few shots we returned made them cease
. On this DAVIS march the heat was so intense
that many of the men gave out, and we had
determined to halt when we perceived the
heights covered with the enemy, who COM
menced firing.
We advanced upon them and they fed,
and we then encampcd upon the heights about
two miles from this place. The next daytime
9th, we started and soon saw the forts ana an,
the mems heads above the ramparts We
planted our guns within six hundred yards
Of the fort, but soon found them too high tor
artillery. So we determined to carry the
fort bv bayonet. Col, Hughes then ordered
Major Henley to turn the left OF the MI ana
take the enemy in reverse.
He took Barry's, Dolan's and Browns com,
panics, with fifty dismounted dragons; ana
having thrown off jackets, knapsacks and al,
but cartridge boxes and canteens, we started
up to climb the hill.-After three hours OF
great physical effort, climbing up PreclpIees
by holding on to roots of trees and hanging
vines, we reached the crest. Here we breath
ed little, and dashed into the fort But tho
enemy, who had perceived US, had fled, anl
three cheers announced to those below ouI
possession OF the place."-Pair'ot.

GLoR1Es or THE LATE BATTLEs.-An
officer Of the army thus writes 10 gentleman
in Washington respecting the storming OF
Fort ContIcIaa by Riley's Brigade on the 20th
August.
The brigade was about 900 strong, and du-
riug the morning of the 27th, before daylight,
succeeded IN gaining position i'll rear OF the
enemy's works, without being discovered un-
til the columns of attack were nearly form
ed. They stormed the fort in two columns
of attacll-the 4th artillery and part OF the
% infantry composing one column, ana the
main part OF the 81 infantry and the 7th
forming the other; in the latter column, the
81 in front The sormng columns marched
/ steadily up the hill in double quick time, with
! a huzza under heavy shower OF grape and
round shot from the Mexican artillery and
! at the point Of the bayonet routed the en-
envy and drove them (though about 1000
! strone) from the works. 800 MeXicans were
I killed, while our loss was only about 60 men
in killed and wounded. How many MeXl-
cans were wounded | cannot say. Wetook
some 400 or l 800 prisoners on that occas-
ion, beside p pieces of artillery and any
quantity of small arms. Only reflect, 600
American soldiers attacking and storming d
fort containing p pieces Of artillery, and de-
Tended by 1000 soldiers.
It is a feat unparalleled in history. Thi,
the gallant Riley did with his brjglde-kll
ling 500, and capturing 500 prisoners, witt
a loss ofonly co men. A Drawer commander
and drawer or better soldiers ncverliyed thar
Riley and his 8torming brigade.
The attack on Churubusco on the after
noon Of the goth, was bloody affair for us
We lost nearly 600 men in killed anc
wounded Our regiment suffered severely
but the enemy were eventually driven from
their works, and we took 100 prisoners,anC
. u or 3 pieces of artillery. 1t was a brillian
affair for our arms

hero came on at Bafalo, last week, and the
facts AS published by u.s. were clearly made

dence was offered but that of previous good
character, the main reliance of ike prison

ed between the indictment and the proof
The ind;ctu ent charged an assault with in
tent to kill whereas they contended that the
proof showed only an assault with intent to
wound
Far fetched as this distinction was, it
seems to have had its weight with the jury,
for, after being out ten or twelve hours, they
rer ortcd absolute inability to agree, and were
DISCHARGED. The Buffalo Commercial says
