 After the battle krOde over the whole field. Parties wergengaged in burying the dsad-hut there was still hundreds of bod ;Os lying stiff and cold with no cover- ing save the scanty remnant in clothing which the robbers of the dead tonnd too vMlueIess to lake from them. l saw the human body pierced in every place. l saw expressed in tho faces of the dead almost every passion and feeling, S"me seemed to have died execra,ing their en- euiss, und cursiug them with their last brea,h--othrrs had a placid aad resigned expression. Some appeared to have died defending their lives bravsly tS the last, while others evidently used their last words in supplic"ting for mercy. Here lay Youth and mature Age calmly Eepos> ing in urtimely death.

 Passing on from ,his part of the bloody ground, went over 10 the plain literally covered with the dead bodies of these who had 50 recently been our foes. This scene was horrible enough, God knows but was divcsted of somo of it's horrors by the fact that not ope of the Mexican soldiers was either rosbpd or stripped of his clsthing, nor was thsir tho least np- pearance of the bodies having been ahu- sed after being wounded. This, indeed, sneaks much for the bnrbarous volun> ,eers of the United States of the North, as the Mexicans style us.

 Among the hundreds of dead hom saw there, I wns much touched by the appearance of the corpse of Mexican boy. whose age I would think could noI have exceeded fifteen years A bullet had struck him full through the breast and must have occasioned almost instant death. He was lying on his back, his face slightly inclined to one side, and al. though cold, ye. beaming with bright ard sunny smile, which eloquently told tho spectator that he had fallen with his countsy's foe.

 SaItiIIo is enc vast hospital. Besides ouv. own wounded Qour or five hundred iu numbsr.) Gen. Taylor has collected all the wounded Mexicans who were lsft by ,heir array, oAd Pu. them in hospital It is most disgusting to visit one st those places. All of them (he Mexicans) are badly wounded, for those who were slight l y wounded went of. They are dying every heur in the day. but they die bet ter than we could under similar circum- stances, fer their priests are always d hand to set the sails of their ls.t voyage in proper Vicksbu'g Whig.
