The Washington Union Of Saturday Iasl says
e. 9LelteTs have been received from Vera Cruz
which give some accounts of the state Of affairs
Puebla, and the movements of Maj LallV's detach
ment.,; The most impOrIant information which
they give has been anticipated by the letters which
we have published from the N. o. Picayune. Gen.
Scott is reported to have sent on Twigg's CON-
mand4o the Sth; TO be followed by Worth, Quit
man, Pierce &c. TO the capitaI! Maj LalIy had
been early attacked by Ihe gueIilas bui reinforce
ments Of several companies, ammunition, &C. had
been despatched TO his assistance from Vera Cruz
In the charges which had been made upon his de-
Iatchments, two captains from the Virginia line
had been wounded-Captains Caldwell and Cum
nings-who were sent back TO Vera Cruz. Maj.
Lally writes thar he! Was.Io advance the next day
10 the next watering place. and hoped to be joined
BY Eeinforcements before they, reached the Nation
a4 Bridge. Some rsohciIude is felt about this ad-
vance, as this is the smallest train which has leit
or some time for Gen. ScoiI's camp. ~.
