HAYNES went in the expedition Of Gen LOPEZ,
with the rank of colonel, served through the
eventful struggle. surrendered as prisoner, was

an American ship in the port Of Havana:
HAVANA, Sept. s, 1851.
DEAR - After undergoing hardshps
enough to kill Kentucky mule, escaping the
balls Of the enemy untouched and unframed
after having been taken prisoner, worn Spanish
chains in Spanish prison, and encountered all
the contumely which they could heap upon me
and my unfortunate companions, ! have now
the happiness to inform you that | am agai, a
free man, on an American ship with the Amer-
can flag floating over me, and ready to leave for
New York on Sunday next-day after tomorrow
To what circumstance owe my release, |
cannot divine, unless it be that my "regimental
order book" fell into the hands of the Spaniards,
and served to get me off Scott free.
After the regiments fell into my hands, |
would not permit the boys to take even chick
en- without paying for it, and III they had done
no, would have arrested and severely punished
them. I also placed guards over all the stores,
groceries and shops in the little towns through
which we passed and in which we stopped, with
orders to shoot down any man who attempted
to enter them without first obtaining the con-
sent of the proprietors. This course, and my
bearing on the battle field made me friends with
the country people and very large number of
the Spanish officers.
Col bowman was killed at Las Pozas, in
twenty minutes after the battle commenced as
was also poor Captain Brigham. They both
fell CALAMITY charging the enemy. Brigham
from musket shot, and bowman from nine
bay onet wounds through the body, and three
musket balls, Although in the very thckest Of
the tiyht, hand to hand with the enemy, and in
Two hot engagements besides those at Las Po
zas, in which we were victorious, have escaped
without even having been touched by ball,
sword or bayonet. An all-wse Providence, in
whose hands was, could alone have preserved
me, and softened the hearts of my enemies to
my release. Truly your friend,

The Delta says that Col Haynes is wrong in
sttributing his release to his own honorable
bearing, and asserts that the captain general
rendered to our CONSUL an compliment or favor,
the night to select two Of the men to be released
He chose Col Haynes and Major Kelly, because
they were men of family and the oldest in the
party.
