THE NEWS FROM MEXICO.

:" 4 u f. NENS fno"h uA Ah<At ~
Beyond dispute, the mos, satisfactory
feature in the rews touches the loss sus.
tanned in the recent actions by the army
OF Gen. Scot, and lis present position. Our
news is rather of a negative nature, but il
is hardly less satisfactory than if ii were
more definite. We have ample ground
on which to deny the painful reports
broughtby The James l.. Day oft the deaths
Of distinguished American general otfi-
GERS. Our. information is positive that
Gen. Smilh has not been slain, but thai
he has anew covered himself with glory
Gen. Worth has been appointed Governor
ofthe city of Mexico. and was acting as
such as late as The 24lh of September
letters of which da:e was received by
commercial houses al Tauspico. We have
not been able 10 learn anything definite nf
Gen. Pillow and his wounds, but from the
total silence Of letters in regard TO him
which make mention Of our losses. we are
persuaded that he has NOT heen killed. and
we hone not wounded. We cannon learn
that either Gen. Worth or Gen. Smith
have been wounded, bur Maj Capers. an
intimate personal friend of Gen. Worth,
who came passenger on the Alabama, Is
entirely satisfied Of Gen. WORMS safety.
In This connection we may mention that
Maj CaPers is lhe bearer Of dispatches
from Tampico for Washington, He has
with him, also, letters private and unotfl-
ciai, from various sources i'll the city OF
Mexico, which make incidental mention Of
public affairs, which letters viii be COM
municated TO our Government. Ii is from
this gentleman we learn such information
as We, possess Of the loss Of our army in the
ecensengagemenls,w which is unexpectedly
small. The Mexican accounts make it
exceed one thousand men in killed aud
wounded, while more authentic accounts
from English sources sci il down at four
hundred and seventy or eighty, all told.
Tho number Of American officers killed is
said to be 81, and the number wounded
As. The only individual mentioned ameng
the. killed is Capt. Albemarle Cady. OF The
9th Infantry. an accomplished officer,
graduate of West Point aud native Of
New Hampshire. Ills somewhat singu-
Iarthat so illIe should have transpired in
regard 10 our loss. but with all diligence
we have been unable to learn any thing
more. The Mexicon loss is set down in
round numbers al 5000 killed and wound
Ell. The accounts from Tampico confirm
lhe death Of Gen Bravo. killed fighting
bravely, but our Vera Cruz correspondent
Gscredits the report that Santa .Auna was
