Boston Courier, speaks of the importance Of
the printer to authors, as follows:
"Many who condescend to illuminate the

the columns of newspaper, little think Of

From this, and from a comparison with
the official reports of the Spanish officers, We
are enabled to construct more connected
and probable narrative of the events which
led to the unhappy catastrophe than has yet
been given. Gen. Lopez, on landing near
Bahia Honda, with the main body Of his fore
es, consisting of about three hundred men,
advanced towards Las Pozas, a small town a
few miles in the interior, leaving Col. Crit
tenden & his command, ia strong, in charge
of the baggage. That night, or the next day,
the steamer Pizarro, landed 700 Spanish
troops at Bahia Honda, and these advancing
towards the place of Lopez's landing, cut of
Crittenden's men from their companions
On the second night afterwards this party dc
tcrmined to attempt to form junction with
Lopez, but on the road were attacked by al
Overwhelming body of troops, and after 6
ortstruggle were on the second charge rout
ed and dispersed. After wandering about il
the thiekets, fifty of them got together anC
made their way to the sea shore, where they
seized four small boats and endeavored t.
make their escape, when they were captured
as was related in the official report of Admi
raj Bustillos. There are still sixty-four o
this command to be accounted for. OF these
forty we're surprised and shot at a small farm
house. A Spanish Lieutenant reports tina
lon the 14th he came upon twenty pirates
icnarding an equal number of wounded com
rades, all of whom were Immediately put t.
death.
Theremaining twenty-four, orsuch Of then
as had not been Killed in battle, probably con
tinued to wander in the vicinity until, We arr
forced to believe, they also were taken ant
slaughtered. The other party, under Lopez
tseems, received the attack of the Spaniardi
lin a farm house at Las Pozas, and beat then
off with severe loss, at least soitis to be sup
posed, since the Spanish official reports stat
that they desisted from the assault in orde
to receive reinforcements. Whether an,
subsequent fighting took place at this poin
we do not know; at all events, Lopez held hi
own for two days-till, on the 10Th, he LET
for the interior, and was not molested on HI
march by Gen. Emma; all of which We lear
from the Spanish official accounts. This wa

We started for him on Wednesday morning
