PRESSING TOWARD THE CAPITAL.
Scott moved to Pueblo and waited for
reinforcement, as the term Of 1900 vol
unteers had expired and 800 were sick.
Santa Ana's force then numbered
80, 1000. Scott moved Aug. Z, the Third
still in the column leading the advance
The distance to the city of Mexico was
100 miles.
The city of Mexico is situated in a
valley or basin. eighteen Spanish leagues
in length, twelve and a half wide, sur
rounded on all sides by lofty mountains.
In this fertile valley are FIVE lakes lying
to the north, east and south of the city.
During the rainy season a large portion
of the basin is submerged. rendering
high causeways, bordered by deep
bitches, indispensable to approach the
city. ANY force acting on the offensive
against the city is compelled to enter
oyer these causeways, seven in number.
The natural defenses were strongly
supplemented by artificial works with
batteries and a disparity of numbers
which might have seemed appalling but
for previous successes.
At Contreras, one of the preliminary
battles, SCOTS force did not exceed

works had been thrown up command
ing every street, while infantry, pro-
tected by sand bags, was stationed On
the fiat-roofed adobe houses.
The Third and Fourth formed the
principal assaulting force upon the
eastern defenses. The Mexicans had
every advantage, but an entrance to the
city was effected by means of picks and
bars, with which openings were made
into other adobe houses, and from one
to another, ascending the rooms from
the inside, thus gaining a position on
the Srme breast level as the MeXlcans.
The fighting was terrific. The Mexicans
surrendered on the oath. The Third lost
six officers and sixteen men killed, one
officer and twentY-nlne men wounded.
Among the wounded were Capts. Norris
and Barbour, brevetted for %gailantry in
the previous battle, and Mai. Lear, com
handing the regiment. Lieut.. Hazlett
was killed while assisting his wounded
commanding officer to shelter, and two
soldiers died rather than leave their
wounded captain. Of thirteen Off
GERS engaged six were killed and one
wounded.
The night of the 21st was cold and
rainy, and to keep themselves out of the
mud the men piled up the bodies of the
dead Mexicans and used them for seats.

THE FIRST ORGANIZATION.
Its first officers came from the old
continental line, and many of its officers
since were sons or %grand5ons of those
who fought in the Revolution. When
the soldiers of the Revolution-the con-
tinentals furnished by the several coll
/ onies Or states-were disbanded Col.

Through forests, over the deserts of the
Southwest, across the mountains and

it has made its way, contending against
every force which has dared oppose the
United States soldier in battle.
A DISTINGUISHED HISTORY.
From its ranks came Zachary Taylor,
president of the United States, sena-
tors, members of congress-, great ~jurists.
governors of states and territories, and
some of the bravest, best and most dis

army, now and in its past history.

Here Gen. Twiggs was commanding
the division, Gen. P. f. Smith the
brigade and Capt. e. B. Alexander the
regiment; Capt. Robert E. Lee had
charge of the engineer corps. Leaving
Vera Cruz the Sth of April, they halted
before Cerro Gordo, where Santa Ana
was posted on the heights.
Supported by Gen. Patterson's divis-
ion, Gen. Twiggs waited the arrival of
the main army under Gen. Scott. Capt.
Robert E. Lee opened up roads through
the mountains and over ravines
where Santa Ana afterwards declared
he would not haue believed a goat could
climb, and on the nth Scott issued his
famous order for the battle which Gen.
Grant characterized as being nearer a
report of the battle which followed than
any probably eve issued before or
since.
THE BATTLE OF CERRO GoRDO.
The assaulting column consisted of
the Third uuder Capt. Alexander. the
Seventh and First artillery under Col.
Harvey. of the Second dragons. They
carried the heights of TELEGRAPH, the key
to Santa Ana's position. which were
crowned with artillery and strength
ened by palisades and breastworks,
under a terrific fire Of artillery and
musketry, terminating in a hand-to-
hand conflict with %bayonets.
Other points were captured with but
feeble resistance, the Third, as usual,
forming a part Of the pursuing column,
capturing or dispensing nearly all of the
Mexican army. The prisoners mum
bered 5000, and a vast amount of ord

tured. Our force numbered $500. Santa
