The Pennsylvania volunteers. From all I can
learn the expedition was managed in the most
successful manner, and the party came very
near laying hands on Padre Jarauta himself.
who has been busy in this vicinity some weeks.
Yesterday Domnguez, the Captain o, the
Mexican spy company. arrived with . small
m,il, end brought intelligence OF his having had
brush with party of the ene,nv's cavalry. be.
tween Ojo de Aqua and Nspoluca. The ca.
valry he dispersed. and took prisoners Gems
rorroj m. Minon and Gaund, who were with
the party. and delivered them over to Colonel
Childs, at Puebla. together with two American
dcserters, whom he found with the party. re.
gre. that, in addition TO these captures, ! can
not add that of Gen. Salazar. who rendered
himself Infamous BY his cruelty, to the Santa
Fe prisoners. The scoundrel was in the city
few days since. upwards Of twenty -four hours
with his family, and the suthorites. on learning
his wher"abouts. sent 9 body Of soldiers to sr-
rest him. bu, unfortunately he had left the city
about two hours before il was known he wss

All these prisoners hsve been liberated on

GO where they plesse. and among their own
people can say what they please, which enables
them to do US much more injury in exciting the
people To acts OF hust,lty than ii they were ne.
yer taken prisoners, and their Influence not con.
fined to such parts OF the country only ss they
could muster courage to VISIT. As an insa nee
- proof what say, sm told by gentleman
who came up with Cob. Johnsoas train from
Vera Cruz, that on entering one Of the small
towns a, this side OF Pueb.a, which was an ad,
vantsceous position TO resist the advance of

Gnrdo. came up with the train on temporary
parole. addressed the first knot OF his country.
men he met in the town. and asked them why
they were not up. IL would be much safer to
keep these men confined here, or send them to
the United States.
IL is impossible 10 say when there will be a
