Letter from Capt. Wood.
CUERNEvAcA, March 6, lS49.

FRIEND CLARKE:
You will perceive by the date of this letter,
that, since my last, we have been the move.
We ordered here 10 relieve the lst Infantry,
and Col. BoNHAM 10 assume the post of Civil and
Military Governor. The march was a short
one, but d route that battles all attempts at
description. Suffice it TO say that it led directly
over the chain of the Ausco, and was as rugged
as poverty. The Aiusco is the barrier between
the valley Of Mexico and this. We accomplished
it with the loss of one wagon only, while it is no
uncommon thing for one-half of them to 90 TO
wreck.
AS for the town we now garrison my impress
sons quite pleasant. 1t possesses all the air
of a sequestered country town. The streets are
narrow and Irregular, but well paved and cioanly.
The houses for the mos: part one-storv high
and embosomed in shrubbery; many Of them are
extremely costly in style. No people seem to
have a more perfect conception and appreciation
of the luxury of idleness and really, when |
strolled into garden here, almost imagined that
ii was eysium. Large fountains of chrystal
water, dotted here and there with islands covered
with profusion of flowers, magnificent flights of
free-stone steps leading 10 the waters edge. sum-
mer houses and pagodas; fruits of every variety
and cline grown in the orchard, makes it place
of delightful repose. \ on may take some idea Of
it from its cost, 100000. In one side of it
stands the Church where Cortez took tho Mass ;
and the Palace he erected is now converted into
prison.
The change Of climate in three hours journey
is great; on the mountain side the air cool and
bracing, in the valley i; is New Orleans in Sep
tember. But altogether | am well pleased with
the change, the greatest matter of regret being
that we are moro cut off from an early knowledge
of events transpiring at the Capital of either
country. AS for Alvarez and his movements we
know nothing and care quite as little. The COM
panies of the 1st Infantry that went out some
days ago, TO quell the Indian troubles a few
leagues south of this, returned in perfect safety
and uumolested.
In pursuance of my intention 10 keep you ad-
