The following is an extract from private
letter written by an officer Of the Liberal
army to his brother in Monterey:
QUERETARo May 90, 1867.
DEAR BROTHER: Col Lopez, com
handing the Regiment of the Empress, probably
for the purpose of saving his life In case Of de-
foat,) delivered to us the fort of the Convent do
Ia Cruz, the key to all the fortihcations. This
took place on the 18th instant at Al o'clock, 4,
IN, and Immediately our regiment and that Of
the "Laprenes Poderes'' occupied this post, find.
ing all the troops Of the enemy fast asleep, ex.
cept the sentries. When we reached the fort we
jumped over the intrenohments, surprised the
guards, and at once occupied all points Of the
Notifications.
The surprise was SO complete that when We
challenged them they found the points Of our
bayonets at their breasts, and the soldiers, Of.
hoers, and chiefs surrendered their arms without
firing a single shot during the whole affair. All
this was effected by the two regiments above,
and during the whole time the lines Of the be.
siegers and besieged remained in their posi-
ton.
After We found ourselves masters Of the
most important point We marched with the
two companies Of our regiment into the
midst Of the enemy, TO the principal square,
and assembled to the steeple of the Fran.
ciscan church, Of course without the knoWl-
edge Of the enemy. At dnybreak we commenced
ringing the bells of the church and began firing
on all points. The enemy, not knowing what had
happened awOke frightened and In great con.
fusion. Disorder was the result, the enemy run.
ming in all directions without the hope of eseapoj
as whenever they struck any part Of our lines
they were fred at from front and by us from
the rear. This was q death. blow-no one es.
Gaping.

ner consisted Of head of cabbage, boiled
in salt water, and pone of corn bread.
The story is loosely told that on one occas-

cd to dine with him, hc had ordered bis SER
want to provide repast ofcabbagc and mid
ding. a very small bit of middling garn-
ished the dish-so small that the polite
guests all declined middling, aud it remain
ed on the dish when they rose from the table
Next day the General remembering the
untouched meat ordered his servant to bring
"that middling" The man hesitated,
