These constitute principal portion of the Mexican army. Rowan Harden. of Kentucky, (who is in the army in Mexieo) writes to his father as follows:

 The Rancheros are the people who live on farms-they are poor soldiers, By the laws Of their Government they are not allowed to have arms at home. and consequently do not under stand the use of them. These people are cowardly. but unskilled in the use of arms. and without confidence in their rulers. Gen. Tay- Tor estseuas them brave people, but they are not effective in battle because of their igno- rance of the use of arms. Their defeat by Gen. Taylor. on the Rio Grande. with such odds in their favor. has destroyed all confidence in themselves. and they fight with no other expectation than to be whipped but let this war last twelve months longer. and rest assured they will prove an enemy no longer to be de- pressed.
