The letters came to this city in the steamer Texas, which arrived on the night of Thursday last, but some of them dld not reach those to whom they were addressed q till late Saturday evening. The dispatches from General H., of the 18th, with the return of the killed, wounded and missing, have not come to hand and have doubtless been abstract ed on their way from San Juan del Sur to this city:
 EXTRACTS FROM LETTER OF GEN. H. TO Tff
 Riuas, Thursday, March 19, 1857. The steamer from California for Panama is just in at San Juan, and as the Ranger express is on the saddle, 1 have barely a moment to add a line to my two letters of last evening" To avoid the risk of this and the notes within to **** & *** bengintercepted by those whose interests excite sympathy for the greaser lilies, before they reach New York, l enclose them to Dr. Carnochan, who will send them tc you as soon as he receives them.
 l have little of importance to add to my nar- ratve up to last night except to request you to have care taken that the names in the returns of our killed, wounded and missing are printed accurately. It may omit two or three of the wounded, but the entire number, if it was con- plete, does not exceed fifty. 1 have not receiv- ed the slightest injury and enjoy my usual good health. The loss of the enemy is ascer. tained to have been upwards of 400 killed Our victory is decisive and breaks up the allies completely, and in few weeks all fighting within the boundaries of Nicaragua will be over, and if any contest is kept up it will be in the other States. Our army is in high spi- rts.
 Address your letters as directed in mine of the 0th, as they will be less likely to be pur- Joined, which 1 ha, no doubt is the fate of yours of the 2Oth February and the Sd of this month, as 1 have not received either of them.

 Ri0as, March Is, 1857.
 
 | Gen. Henningsen will send detailed accounts by first steamer, expected in day or two, of our battle of yesterday 70, twas glorious victory" l was slightly hurt, but feel no in convenience to-day whatever. Our triumph was complete. Our loss is not one tenth of that of the enemy, and the numerical force against us was three times that of ours.
 
 American Minnie rifles and Henningsen howtzers and cannon did the business. The allies are used up, and the reign of the greaSers | in this republic wiped out. W ithn the last four or five weeks letters from New York don't reach us. We suspect they are offered * | The dispatches from General Henningsen, of the 18th March, and the return of the killed and wounded above mentioned have not come to hand, and 1t is believed they have been in tercepted by persons inimical to the success of President Walker.
