The Train Ahacked. Several dragons arriv.
ed yesterday evening, bearing message 10 the
Governor. They left the train yesterday morn
ing and report, that ighl had taken place miles
from the National Bridge, in which Capt. Cald-
well. Of lheVoItigeurs, and Cap pt.i Cummyngs, Of
the 18th Inf. had been wounded. 5Capt Leyclrs
Ga. mounted men charged on the enemy, after the
first onset, and drove them back, killing some 25.
When the dragons left, it was expected other at
tacks would be made upon men, Eight
Americans had been killed The force Of the
enemy is reported to be very large, and The naur-
al advantages Of their position, rendered them !
doubly strong. The Governor Immediately cansed
preparations 10 be made for the departure OF strong
renforcements. - g. E!Ffs as. "a - t.. /
- We have no doubt our troops wilt have some +
hard fighting to do before they pass the National
Bridge; but Mars will not abandon their courage, +
and they will VIGOROUSLY pass it, leaving their 7
discounted enemy bcAind, seeking refuge in the
mountains and aehaparrals, which seem to ha We |
been placed along that road by.aa.ure, expressly
to hide the shameless towards. shct' Ehi. ~ I


Fhe reinforcements will Ieavelthis morning. +


The Nc,cs from Mcrico The news from the !
seat Of war by the Gatceston, leaves no doubt, I
that we shall soon have advices OF The most stir
ring nature from that quarter. AbhouS b il would i
appear that the Information was not known at
Vera Cruz, unless by vague rulnor, the special
correspondence received by our neighbors of the:
Pieayune. from their colleague at headquarters"
leaves no doub. that the army nnaer General Scott
has taken up its mn rch from PuebIa the capital
and ere this, grand battle has been fought, which
has decided the fate of that city. We have no
doubt of the resuh, and that both the battle and
the city have been gained by our army. We
have full confidence IN General Scouts military
knowledge and Judgment, that we feel assured he
would not, after having waited so long at Puebla,
now attempt 10 move with what he considered an
inadequate force, or without full Information as 10
the general means Of the enemy, and the probable
resistance he would have to encounter. - 80


Major Gaines and Mid. Rogers, had both es
capped from the city, and had reached headquar-
ters. The other American prisoners hare been :
sent to ToIuca. We are pleased TO- learn, not on
ly that these officers had escaped, but ihnt they
have been able to do so, without any violation of
their parole. .@"t%.'


Some Tears were entertained for the Safety Of
the last train. that had left Vera Cruz, but we
have had similar antcipations, on all previous oc-
casons and we have no doubt, the reports about the
force Of the guerilas are greatly exag gerated We
are the more inclined 10 this conclusion, by The
present advicrs, which state, Gen. Pirroe's column
had reached Puebla, without having lost man,
all the various rumors we had
respecting it, after it left Vera Cruz. @'.A+'
