On the 5th inst., I took Santa Anna out the In
vincible. upon the high ee«. On the 9rh, the
tnuMtrOus t'nct ia developed 500 miles distant, the.
retreating Mexican army wus ordered In retrogndb
half way between San Patrice n'nd Mailt morns*
Tide must have been under the calculation that
Santa Anna was anfo iu Vera Cruz, But we
have him -still, and we will keep him until wc
gel what wc ask fur. end we will n*k for much.
On the 8tb, I Wittrordcred by the Government*
with tlte uruiy under my command, to march a*
gainst the Northern Iiidtaiii, end having marched
thus for under that order, you see we have again
1o tight the Mexicans. 1 tnurcli to-morrow with
till the force iu litis part of the country, to unite
with the Soto hern division of the army, under
Gen. Busk. To*dev. I have ordered Brevet Brig
adier Gen. Felix. Huston, to advance with the
Yavulrv. nod act ns the advance of my artny.-r-
We will assemble in n lew days, u force of 2000
meu upon the Colorado, whore wo ought to 'fight.
Cues. Tito soldiers are in good health and spir
its. They have grieved.much heretofore, for fcsr
all Ihelsorels wereto 'hc worn by the victors of
San Jaciutu. Now theytire erect, and.K mistake
them much, if they tlo not prove themselves to
be true sons of Washington,
I need not say lb you, my denr sir, that this is
tube a most conspicuous oumpalgti for Texas and
liberty. The question is now fairly, mode be
tween us Republicans and the Priesthood uf the
Old Inquisition. I must say, again and again, I
have too moch confidence hi the spirit of liberty,
- in toy ’•hi.liie. tny atjrunslive homo;". to believe
Ihe Republicans of the Uuitcd Stales of North A-
inerieu, will fold their units and quietly witness
aw unequal a contest, though..! still believe, as 1
aver have dune, we will gloriously ;lriuinph,
should we not get another soldier from the U
sited (Stalest for such an event would unly pro*
tract the cuuflict, Beat we ought—beat wo
must.
1 have witnessed arts of devoted patriotism, in
the' women and children of this country, which
would ustonitfl the wisest ami bravest intfli of any
other uittionV Can their husbands and fathers be
brut ! Never, never!
In,the hurry id'this letter, permit tnc to mnko
cos oth-r remurk. This is frequently called the
finest country on earth. Tliis’romnrk, though
true, tit* most jmulligcnl men ol tlte United .States
do nut cumpietieiid. Tlte expression being u
Sweeping and general one, does not convey u
Labadin, whilst their shameful rout and discora- ‘
fitureat.ihe San Jaeinlo stand as a perpetual
monument of their' unexampled pusilonii<iiiy and
dastaritly conduct. Audacious monsters! That
tltcv havc tlto willingness to murder, is apparent
—their ability to conquer, they never have shown.
Their numbers can avail them nothing; and their
threats of extermination, instead of iminiidnting.
only invigorate the nerves of the. bold nnd free.—
Let them come. Their return ia bailed with joy
by every manly voice in Texas.
’ Another 'opportunity ia afforded to vindicate
our rights and avenge our wrongs. The greater
the force, the richer nhe harvest! Though every
blade of grass on tile banks of the Bravo brisllo
into a bayonet, i| shall not save them. The ve
ry glance of a fretmtin's eye, is a blazing shield
of Perseus to the noristcrs of tyranny. They
have to fly, dr fall, jefore (lie watli of an injured
people, nerved in tit : cause of Liberty and ven
geance. '

subscribers, the leiters of Judge Shorter and Mr.

COL. BEALL’S REPORT.
We publish to-day the official account of tha
battle cf Chickasabatchee. It varies bui.liflle from
the accounts before! given, but it is due to the offi
cers and soldiers composing die expedition, that
tho world' should be officially informed ol ;tbeir
movements nnd their martial deeds. We-coin-
taeftd this report to the especial attention of Col.
While, oi Florida, who seems to think dial the au
thorities of Georgia wish the Indians to escape to
that. Territory. Let him rend it and exonerate the
citizens of the State, at least, from the weight of
such a charge.
On the 25lh Jmne, I received orders from Gen.
Scott, and left Rhaltnke, ih-pursuit of a body of
Indians, whohnd crossed the ChoUnhoochie, at
tempting, os suppbsed, to make their escape to
Florida, My command, consisted of the Monroe
Troup, onder Capt. Flewellen, tr pari of the Tal

Troop, under Lieiit. Stephens and the Bihl) Cuv--

pursued it through the woods nbmtl 15mile». From
