as near as can learn. about forty killed and siytv
or seventy woundcd. Among tho former aro
Lieut. lnge, Of tho 21 dragons, who fell in tho
charge. Lieut.. Cochrane, of the 4h, and Lieut.
Chadbourne, OF The Sah infentry. Colonel McTn.
iosh and Colonel Payne were severely wounded.
Captain Hooe, Of tho 5,h, lost his right arm; Lieu.
tenants Gates and Jorlon, Of tho Sth, not so badly.
and one or two others slightly. Major Ringgold

the feshy par. of his thigh which carried away his
pistols aud saddle. Captain Page, Of tho 4lh in.

The rout was followed up by Duncan's and
Rdgely's batteries, and Captain Kor's squadron
Of dragons, moving at a rapid pace on the road
tax IN by the enemy. The infantry also followed
in close pursuit. The second day after the balllo
an exchange of prisoners was made, and the dra-
goons previously captured by the Mcxicans joined
our ranks.


Tho cannonading and the bombardment Of tho
fort were keep, up by the Meyicans until tho oven.
ing Of the 9th. They established one mortar bat.
terry on this side the river, and arranged their
othors as TO lombard tho fort from threo.quar,i
erst ia circle. Astonishing to relate that, although
100 shells and 5000 roundshot were thrown at


the fort during the scigc, only three Killed.
Among them the gallant Major Brown its com.
manding officer. He was struck on the leg BY
shell, modification took place, and he died while
hearing the guns Of our second bnttle. II is the
intention Of his regiment, tho 7h infantry, to
gather the shot and shells thrown into tho fort,
and from them 10 Greet a monument to his MON.
DRY. This can be easily done, us all their pro.
jectlIes are copper. r'''

ceivipg reinforcements, and the volunteers arc
