That division was under the imne- diate command of Santa Anna; when they reached the Brassos, it was rising rapidly, and after having crossed over 1900 of that division. it was found impracticable to cross the residue.

Houston hearing of this separation; produced by the unusual and rapid rise in the Brassos, marched forthwith with his GOO brave Texians, to that quarter of the country, and on the I st met Santa Anna, when a hot and vigorous battle ensued, in which Santa Ana lost TOO killed; and he and his fine horse, bride and saddle, Gen. Cos, and other distinguished officers, and 500 Mexican officers and soldiers, we're made prisoners the loss on side of the Te2ians, was killed and 20 wounded:'
