A young soldier named Wynkoop, of Evansville, Ohio. who was in the fight at Monterey, writes home to his friends as follows:

 During the fight of the second day a flag of cessation was sent to the Mex. jeans, requesting few hours to bury the dead which were strewed in frightful piles over the field. This was refused, and the wounded and dead lay where they fell beneath the rays of a scorchIng sun, till the battle was ended. It was then almost impossible for our men tO endure the stench while they heaped dIri over the poor fellows where they lay. The bodies of the dead were as black as coals; many of them were stripped of their clothing by the Mexicans during the night. Several of those who were wound' d during the first days fight, cTawled into ditches and holes to avoid the balls which were rolling like hail. stones over the field, whence, exhausted by the loss Of blood, they were unable to crawl or give signs of distress. s.-Asa u many perished, though some who were found in this condition, were removed and are recovering"
