TRAIN ATTACKED By THE GUERRiLLthoS
Ian,4 oclock, p. M-We have Just ieaiD
ed that the last OF The train which iei ye>'elua
morning for the capital was attacked oy a iai Z
guerrilla force al Santa Fc. We CLEAN from III
various rumors the following statement
For some cause not understood here, Polno
OF the train was unable 10 leave tneit ehcapP
ment near this city until this morning; 10 ufaS
sine through the heavy sand the tram anu Pde -
mules OF which there was large nuinoei, W
came much scattered, so much SO ,na' wv 10
guard, which consisted OF Capt.: Kun eo,npan
of The regiment of Mounted Rinemen, unuef H'
command al LIST Lieut. Walker, was thrown nea'
" seven miles in the rear OF The main oouy VI 'i'
wagon ,rain about o'clock word was sent oact
some OF the packs scattered along the ROAD. l..
Walker, leaving ten rifemen, with some wagons
which had mol been able TO keep up, lmmeoialeY
moved up to Santa Fe where ne iound Inc gut n !,
rillas drawn up One statement makes them aol
strong, another 25O.
They were Immediately charged by the me
men, and without attempting 10 stand ana iesis'
they scattered, keeping up random ana oeSLue'
tive fire upon Lieut. Walkers lille party OF 'hil,
ty men, who, finding il impossible to sena iof"alu
10 The advance sent a messenger 10 TINS cily sid
Ting nearly as above. Subsequent messengers
Two or three of whom are men ct the company
and who were in the fight, state that KUN : coui-
papy had been surrounded and nearly every man
cul of that Lieut. Walker had been killed, anU
that some Sky mules had been driven on oy 'he
guerrillas
Another, who lett still later con,radicis the DEAN
of Lieut. Walker, but states clearly ana posil'eiy
that he was ordered in BY Lieut.. W. To report To
Gen. Twises-that The lieutenant had posted Inc
company. or what remained OF them, IN !a'ine'
from which they continued to keep up most de
slruc,ve FIRE upon the Mexican lancers. A COM
pany OF Is, Dragons, Lieui. GARDENERS, has been
sent out and also a mounted company OF Loui'
siana Volunteers.
We await in painful suspense further lnloFma-
ton, but are inclined 10 think that, though a'tach-
ed by len times their numbers, no serious loss mas
occurred, either OF properly or lives: we as
credit entirely the draih OF Lieut.. walker, ana
give the whole statement merely as Iumor. l! IS
a singular fact, that RufI'S COMPANY OF f'l men,
though actively engaged IN all III" battles oi me
valley, and all kinds OF duty have not yet in any
one instance made a march OF over Ten miles
wihou, getting under the fire OF The enemy.
Scrsn O'Clock, T.. MA few soltiers just arriv.
ed from Santa Fee with despa,ches 10 General
Twigss. Some OF them report that an engage
menI had taken place between The suerrl!as and
Lieut.. Walker, in which The former lost some
twenty five ruen, and the latter FIVE men killed
and wounded.
The suerrillas have been defeated; but II Is
thought by our informant that few pack mules
have been carried of
Lieu, Walker is BOW on his way 10 The Ma
,onal Bridge, together with The Teiniorcements
sent 10 him by the Governor We hope that they
may overake the robbers and chas,lse them.
Great credit is doe to Gen. Twigss itr MS
promptneSs in sending the reinforcement ne

in, had hardy been received here when ne sem

The report that Lieut. Walker had been K'lie'
