THE BATTLE Of CONTRERAc.-

ness saved Santa Anna from rout He retired
with his entire command to San Angel. The ex-
cuse he made for deserving Valencia-that it
would have been equal to defeat to have kept
his his soldiers out in such night. The Ameri-
cans, however, were out in the whole of 1t, and
without being defeated in the morning. The
whole night was spent in finding a position
from which Valencia could be surprised from
a ravine in the rear.
In the pitchy darkness OF early morning
Rileys brigade filed the ravine. The move
ment being by flank, and the ravine full OF
rocks or slippery with mud, the command was
stretched out to twice its ordinary length, thus
occasioning delays which brought full day
light before the entire force was in motion.
Yet with such silence had it been conducted.
and so deceived were the Mexicans by the fires
kndled by Shields men in the village, that
Riley was enabled TO reach a point in the
Of Contreras, and where he could form for the
final assault without being discovered.
In the meantime Lee. notwithstanding the
pitchy darkness and great difficulties of the
route had felt his way, accompanied by Twiggs.
until he had reached Pierce's command in the
immediate front of Contreras. Here force
was organized to make a diversion as it
was daylight. or direct an attack should cir
cumstances favor one. In the pitch darkness OF
the early morning. soon as this force ap-
peared in the rear the Mexicans had opened
a fire in this direction The signal for the main
attacks was now given by Smith, when Riley,
throwing out a cloud of skirmishers. pressed
down the slope with his main body under
tremendous fire. Cadwa1lader followed in close
support. the men shouting vigorously as they
bore down upon the astonished enemy. while
Dimmick, emerging from the ravine, poured in
a fire as he moved upon the flank.
At the same time the force organized by Lee
in front advanced across the ravine and opened
in that quarter; and thus was Valencia sur
rounded on nearly every side by foe he had
but a few hours before derided in drunken and
ribald songs.
However, he belched forth storm OF metal
upon the assailants his infantry kept up
rafting accompaniment, and his cavalry was
hastily formed for a charge; but they could not

resist the terrible force Of the onslaught. Into
the rear of the Entertainments the intrepid Riley
poured his willing soldiers; the other com
mands closed In on the flank and front of the
works; and the ever ready bayonet Of the
Americans now coming into play COM
pleted the discontinue of the enemy. In
less than twenty minutes from the first open.
ing of the strife every point of the intrench-
ment was carried, and those who were not
killed, wounded or captured were throwing
away their arms and flying in every direction.
Many attempted to escape over the narrow
bridge Of the Magdaena, and through the vii
lage, but here Shields was ready to receive
them; others broke into the lava ridges and
thorny brush. where they were met by the
cumstances warrant It, and even before Riley
men OF Pierce's command. A large portion OF
the cavalry under Torrejon, stricken with
panic at the opening of the conflict. fed pre-
cptately over the hills in the rear accom-
panied by Valencia who was among the first
to leave the ground. This force, and it was
numerous, got well of; but had Smith held
even a single squadron of Harneys dragons
in hand. ready TO follow up the fugitives, none
save the better mounted could have escaped.
In the midst Of the strife Santa Anna com.
ing out Of San Angel. appeared on the ridges
with heavy force, watching the operations OF
Contreras. Shields, however, was ready to
oppose his advance. and after a series of move
ments. all indicating indecision, he hastily fell
back on seeing that Valencia had been routed:
nor did he halt until he had reached his strong
second line of defense at ChuruhugcO.
Few of the defeats sustained by the Mexicans
were more disastrous and crushing considering
the numbers engaged, than was this uf Con-
treras. No less than twenty-five pieces CT
brass artillery, many Of them of heavy calibre
a great number of muskets and other small
arms, an immense amount of ammunlt on and
military stores besides nearly one usand
pack mules and horses. fell into the lands Of
the Americans Generals Salas, Mendoza
Banco and Garcia. the two latter wounded
were taken prisoners. with a long list of col
ones and officers Of inferior grade and more
than eight hundred private soldiers.
Upward of five hundred officers and men were
