The Americans 4e say*, lost 2,000. There is r.o mistake, however, * *f his replete discomfiture, and the dissolution of his entire forces. When las; hoard from, they were in full retreat, and in fearful Mate of destitution. The pm ic wu* so extended, and the drerad of old “ Hough ami Ready” so prevailing, that there , < so apprehension felt, or rather, hope entertained, of the lying ■.ml boasting Mexican making another stand. Gen. Taylor has sent a corps to harrass him on hia retreat, and cut otT his supplies. It was also Gen. Taylor** design to fall back on Monterey, and reopen communications with the Rio Grande. When last heard from, the General was at Agna Nueva. Urrea was this side of him, with about 1,500 cnvulry At Cerrulvo he made a stand with his entire force, against a detachment of United Stoles troops amounting to 250 under Major Geddings. The Mexicans were defeated with a loss of about 30 men; our loss was about half that number. The brave Urrea then re treated, and no doubt ia still on his winding way. The following are the only ones ol the official despatches we have room for. The first is the summons to surrender, considerately sent by Santa Anna to Taylor, previous to the fight, with Taylor's reply.

With this view, I assure you of tny particular consideration. God and Liberty. Cmtnp at Kucnntnda, February 22d, 1847. A NT. LOPEZ DE SANTA ANNA. To Gen. Z. Taylor, Commanding the forces ol the U. 8. Headquarters Artur or Occupation, Near Buena Vista, E* b. 22, 1847. Sir—Tn reply to your note of this dal**, summoning in* to surrender my lone* at discretion, 1 beg leave to *uy that I de cline acceding to your request. With high respect, I am, sir, your obedient servant, Z TAYLOR, Major General, United States Army. Commanding, Senor Gen. I)- Antonix) Lopez de 84MA Anna, Comtuaudcr-in-Chief La Eucentada. Headquarters Army er OrrufATloy, Agua Nueva, March 1,1847. Sir—l have the honor to report that the troops of my com mund occupied their original camp at this place on the 27th of February, the last of the Mexican army leaving the morning of that day in the direction of San Lui*. It is ascertained that the enemy is in full retreat, and in h very disorganized condi tion ; the men deserting and dying of starvation iu great num bers. I despatch a command this day as fur as En< arnucion to harrae* his rear, auJ secure whatever military supplies may be found there. From the statements of Mexican officers, parlieulnrly of the medical staff lelt 10 succor the wounded, there seems no doubt that their loss in the recent action ia moderutelv estimated at 1,5u0, and may rich 2.UUO men, killed and wounded; besides 2,000 or 3,000 deserters. Many officers of rank were lost I art lose a list of the names of our ow n killed mid wounded, mnde as complete us practicable at this time. One regiment (Kentucky cavalry) is not included, its return not being ren dered. ’ ’ 1 ‘The enemy had fully reckoned upon our total rotit.and had made arrangements to intercept our retreat, and cut rift lie ar my, stationing for that purpose, corps of cavalry,Dot only im mediately in our rear, but even below Aloniory. I regret to report that they succeeded near the village of Marin in destroy ing a train of supplies, and killing a con-iderahle number of ilie escort and teainsiers. Col. Morgan, 2d Ohio regiment, on his march from Cerrulvo to Monterey, was infested Lv (he Mexican cavalry, with which he had several n-nconfres, but finally dispersed the n with small loss on bis own part Cnpt. Graham, A. Q. M volunteer service, was mortally wernnded in one of these affairs. 1 have no doubt thnl the defeat of the main army at Buena Vista will secure our line of communica tion from further interruption, but i still propoae ill a few days toclmnge my Headquarters to .Monterey, with a view to make such further arrangement-, us may he net essHry in that quarter. The dispositions made to harrass our rear, vindicate the |>ol icy and necessity of defending a position in front of Saltillo, where a defe at has thrown (he enemy fur back into the interi or. No result so derisive could Imre been obtained by holding Monterey, and our communications would have been constant Iv in jeopardy. 1 urn, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Z TAYLOR, Major General, United States Army Commanding. The Adjutant General of the Army, Washington, L> C. Correspoii€li‘iicic* between den. Taylor and the Wiiv Department. The reports that sometime since obtain’ and currency, that Gen. Taylor had been shabbily treated by the War Depart ment, are confirmed by the old hero's letters, recently pub lished by order of Congresa. Not only has he been embar rassed 10 all hr* movements, Ivy the criminal neglect end tar diness of the various officials at Washington; but that emnn nent functionary Mr. Secretary Msrey. rr an otter disregard of all military etiquette or geniletoenly courtesy, by unwar rsnia'ile interference, and correspondence wiih Gen. Taylor's subalterns, has encouraged insubordination ami irresponsibil ity on the part of bn officers. The brave old man. w-ho is achieving imperishable renown tor the country ami himself, feels moat keenly the interference of this medlesoine official, and makes a moat emphatic protest against it. From the correspondence which is altogether ehtraefevia tic, and most creditable lo the irbdity ol Gen. Taylor it* vig. nrout wrU r r wo make the following extract whreh refers to the interference of others with his views and operations : In my communication of the Bih mat .

EDITORIAL CHANGE. We announce with a regret which is shared even by his political opponents in this community, that I. (i. Seymour, Esq., long the courteous and efficient Editor of the Georgia Messenger, baa withdrawn from that paper, which h:is been united with the Georgia Journal and passed into oilier hands. , We take great pleasuie in seizing this occasion lo accord to G ipl. Seymour, a just meed of praise fir his courtesy and liberality throughout h* editorial career. W hile wuh an adroit and skilful hand, and a Zeal for the triumph ol his pxr <y and p inciple-, not surpassed hy any of his brethren, we huva never seen him on anv occasion violate the decoruin of the press, or wound the leehnga of those of his fellow citi zens who happened to be opposed to hitn. With such a man we part wuh the sincerest ngret. In his retirement, the press of Georgia has lost an tMe and j pohatud wii er the j üblic improvements of the Slate as well as the local ones of this city, one ol their eudiest and ablest . (lenders. The respect and good w ishes of many of his opponents, as wdl *a of his political friends, in the com- i mutiny in which be has so long resided, will attend him 10 his retirement, and all will rejoice in his success in whatever situation his lot in iy hereafter be cast. The Georgia Journal and Messenger will hereafter be <dit ed hy 8. T. Cmatman end 8. Kobe. Enps., whom, barring their politics, we wish every success. While we psil with our old coufiere, unwillingly, the columns of the Bavannuh Republican, since his connexion with it, hare, we are fiee to confess, greatly prepossessed us iu favor of Capl Seymour’s successor. Mr. Chspmsn is a ready snd vigorous writer, und we doubt dolt will make the Journal Slid Messenger worthy the support ol Ins political friends. We bid hitn welcomo— and trust be will be both pleased and profiled in his new sit- ! ualiou. — Georgia Telegru/>h.
