QuitJiiM’* butin carrying a point which was the key to
all )ur future op,-rutioiiH, it would not do to make, a
mistake oi omit to take every advantage. ‘Pherelore,
the storming parties from the divisions ol Gen. Worth
ami Ceil. i wiggs, whicli had so frequently been under
severe tire, were selected. The heavy batteries contin
ued theiriirt’ upon the fort, and about 7 o'clock, when
the brigade ol Gen. Smith arrived asn supporting force
to the uivision of Gen. Quitman —as soon us General
Smith’s brigade reached its position—the division o.
Gen Pillow passed Molino tie! Rey and ascended the
hill on the west side, the Volti-reur Regiment, which
had been advanced into the timber to clear it ot the en
emy s skirmishers, became the assaulting force tsupport
ed by the balance of the division. Gen. Worth was sit
uated to the north and on the left of Gen. Pillow. A
paitof Gen. Quitman’s force n-cended the hill o i the
south and to the right of Gen. Pillow. As the division
of Cen. Pillow, and a portion of Gen. Quitman’s ascen
ded and carried the Oastl* in most gulluni style,the bal
anceo: (ien Qii tiuau’sforce and Uie brigade of Gen.
Smith swept the works on the road, the whole of the
commands moving harmoniously and simultaneously
together, nmeh to the honor and credit of their resjKc*
live commanders, struck the enemy in their different
positions at one and the same time a fatal Mow. The
hill, where Gen. Pillow’s command ascended, had been
mined tor the purpose of blowing up our troops when
they arrived at this point, but the rapid movements Oi
the V oltigpur Regiment, and the deadly effect of the fire
of their rifles, ns they followed up the enemy from tin
first position, prevented their carrying out their view.*
and intentions. Justus the command of Gen. Pillow
rose the hill, and while in the act of assaulting the work
lie fell wounded, and Col. Ransom was killed, but so lu
cidly had (ten. Pillow explained his objects and inten
tions in carmng the work, and aided by an active and
efficient staff, that his command moved on and carried
me work without even being brought to a stand. As
Gen. Quitman’s division was charging on the work in
toe road, Hrig. <en. Shields received a severe wound in
the arm, and as soon as the works were carried he re
turned am! had it dressed, and again mounted his horse,
which was shortly afterwards killed under him, but he
continued to command his brigade, which was actively
engaged throughout the day, and the name of Shield®
will long he remembered in connection with the laurels
won by the Palmetto of the South and the Empire of
tiie North.
Gen. Pillow being disabled by his wound, Gen.
Worth took the command of both his own division and
that of Gen. Pillow, and advanced along the aqueduct
leading to the gules of San Cosine. vJeu. Quitman,
with his own command and Gen. Smith’s brigade, also
advanced towards the city by the aqueduct leading into
the city at the gate of Piedad,which is commanded by
the Citadel. On each of the routes coluines
met with a decided and stubborn resistance, and after
the advance of Gen Worth’s command had reached the
gate of San Cosme the fire was so hot that they were
compelled tem|K>rarily to abandon it—and did not make
a permanent lodging until towards evening, when a por
tion of the siege train battery was brought into action,
asulsoa piece or two of the mountain howitzers, which
hurled the shot and Midi about the ears of the enemy a
little hotter than they desired. Gen. Quitman’s column,
with the Rifles at their head, continued steady and cau
tiously on. taking position and hrestwork as they came
in contact with them until they arrived near the gate ol
the city. 1 sere the firing was so heavy, both from small
arms and artillery, that it was deemed prudent to care
fully reconnoitre it before attacking. Accordingly
Lts. Beauregard, of the engineers; Lovell, of Gen.
Quitman’s staff, and Van Doren, of (ien. Smith’s staff’
went toward to ascertain the position of affairs ; they
returned, and upon their report the Rifles, supported
by a small force of infantry, was advanced forward for
the purpose of picking off the artilleries, which they
did—being partially covered by the aqueduct—with
the same success and accuracy us one ol our southern
or western men would shoot squirrels. This rendered
the situation of the Mexican artilleries so uncomforta
ble that they wtre unable to stand to their guns long
enough to load them, and they commenced moving
their guns, which wasperceived by Gen. Quitman, and
be ordered a charge, which was carried into execution
as soon as commanded—Lieut. Stuart, of the Rifles,
leading the way. It captured the main work, with two
pieces of a .’tillery, which Capt. Drum turned on the re
treating enemy Gen. Quitman was himself among the
tirat tamount the breastwork and plant the standard
thereon, at 1 o’clock ; the enemy then formed and three
times attempted to charge us and retake the position,
but the unerring and deadly fire of the RifL-s, together
with a volley of grape from Capt. Drum, so cut them to
pieces that they would not approach nearer than rifle
shot. The tiiird tune they tried to advance under the
cover of the arches of the aaueduct, but if ever a Mexi
can poked his head out for the purpose of slipping from
one arch to the other some rifleman would lie sure to put
a ball through it. During the whole of the afternoon
the Citadel and a fort on our right continued a concen
trated fire upon the gate, where our troops were, in the
hopes of driving them out. hut in this they were much
mistaken although we had hut little cover. Here it
was that the lamented Capt Drum fell mortally wound
ed ; the death of no man in our army has lieen more
sincerely regretted than hia—throughout the lioiiibard
rnent ot Chapultepec he stood by his guns and when the
works of the enemy were stormed, he continued to ad
vance his battery under the heaviest lire himself possess
ing and infusing into his men a cool and deblierato
bravery and self-possession surpassed by none. You
will recollect it was him who reeaotured the Buena
Vista guns, still covered with the blood of those who fell
over them at the time they were lost, and afterwards
useu them with such decisive effect at the battle of Mo
lino del Rey on the fftli inst. Under cover ol the night
Gen. Quitman’s column erected a breastwork, and pul
into position a battery of two lrts, one 68-pound howit
zar and one 21-poutul howitzar, intending to warm up
the citadel in the morning. Gen. Worth’s column got
his guns in a position to rake every thing in his vicinity,
and jailer night Lieut, llagner threw a tew shot and
shell into the city, which no doubt intimidated the
enemy very much, as they had a taste of this at Vera
Cruz.
After the results and success of the day, (Jen. Scott
intended, on the morning of the 14th, to make a lodge
ment on the “New Pasco,” (entering by the San Cosine
gate) and bombard the city, and for this purpose 1 the
balance ot (Jen. Twiggs’ division was ordered from El
Piedad to the support of Gen. Worth.
On the night of the 13th, Santa Anna evacuated all
his positions, and retreated from the city, having had
more than one-half of his army killed and wounded or
taken prisoners—among the latter, Gen. Bravo, with
staff, at Chapultepee. Santa Anna found that if he
fought us on the 14th, he would hardly have a body-guard
left to cover his retreat.
Gariy in the morning the tw o columns took up llieir
march. (Jens. Quitman and Smith, at the lit ad of their
commands, entered the Grand National Plaza, at 7
o’clock. ‘l’he column was formed in tlie Plaza , and, by
order of Gen. Quitman, the National Standard of the
Cerro Gordo Division, while the command came to a
present, was flung to the breeze over the National Pal
ace, and it now triumphantly w-aves over the Halls
or the Montezuma*, and, with one of our national
poets, we may say—
“ Our flag is there, our flag is there—
Behold its glorious strijies and stars!
Our Hag is there, our flag is there—
We hull it with three loud huzzas!”
(Jen. Worth’s command halted four or five squares
from the Pinza, where Col. Garland was wounded.
About H o’clock, (Jen. Scott and Start, in full fenthcr,

[translated.J
Copy of a Icltt'r written by a foreigner to one of his
countrymen in Van Cruz, (a Frenchman.)
Mexico, Sept. 23, 1847.
My Dear Sin—l avail myself of* the departure of
the British courier to sketch you the scenes it has
been iny luck to witness in the capital and envi
rons.
The Mexicans having been heaU n in all points
and hi every wav from the Bth to the 13th insts.,
Gen. Santa Anna left the capital in the evening of
the 13th and took the road of tin* interior. On°the
14th, in the morning, the Americans entered tho
city in a very quiet manner, ami Gen. Scott w:w al
ready in the palace, when on a sudden the people
of the low classes commeuced throwing stones on
the Americans from the tops of the houses, and
from all the streets, whilst individuals of a better
standing fired from the windows and balconies on
tho Yankees, who were far from expectin'*
such treatment. Geu. Scott ordered immediate
ly pieces of artillery to be placed in all di
rections and soon swept the streets with grape shot,
but this proved insufficient to subdue the insurrec
tion. Gen. Scott then sent a few companies on di
vers points w ith orders to break, open every house
out of which they should fire, to {xitlo the sword
those found within, and lastly, to sack the property
therein contained. This order, which was execu
cuted with great moderation (thanks to the secret
instructions of Gen. Scott,) but in some cases w ith
stern energy, soou put down the insurrection.
These scenes lasted three long and sad days—from
the 14tli to the lflth, and 1 assure you we were
much alarmed during the whole of tire time. All
foreigners, including those imbued in other res
pects wite prejudice towards the Americans, agree
m one point that the American army has not done
the hundredth part of the injury it hail a right to
do, and which European armies would have done
in similar circumstances.
A foreigner myself, and havin'* seen warfare in
Gurope towards the ei.il of Napoleon's military ca
reer, I, judging by comparison, give it as my sin
cere and candid opinion that if n continental army
had been stoned and fired upon by the population
of a vanquished city, the iuhabitanU would have
been dealt with rather roughly. Now we an*
tranquil, but it is a siul tranquility, as we fear new
disturbances. Our precarious situation w ill not
change fr the better until peace be concluded or
the Americans scud about 15,000 men mure. The
army of invasion is really too small, for figure to
yourself 7000 men in u city of upwards of 200,000
hostile souls, and in Puebla less than 1500 to main
tain a population of more than 50,000. This is
really too little.
The Americans have covered themselves with
glory in all the battles fought in Mexico; they are
all uud each ot them heroes. It is a great thing
to see a handtul of Americana cut their way thro*
3()0 miles of dense population and hoist the star
spangled banner on the domes of this capital.
(Jen. Ilurrera, ex-Presideiat, lias gone to Qucre
taro, where a Congress is to assemble next month.
He took with him 4000 men, and Santa Anna fell
back upon Puebla with 2000 horsemen. These
two bodies of troops are the remnant* of the 20,-
000 regular troops who defended the city no long
er than two weeks ago.
Some people hope that peace will be advocated
by Severnl meinpcrs of the next Congress atQuere
aro, but, for my part, 1 do not believe it. The
ollv of those people is not yet at au end. When
will they open their eyes to their true interests 7
Never. This is my fear.
The Mexican forces arr now evidently disorganized,
and il we had a sufficient force to follow up our sucoess
•cs, it is possible th** enemy might be induced to sue tor
peace. All concur in the opinion that the present army
is entirely too small. Instead of the tl, (00 men spoken
of by the Washington Union, it seems that Gen Scott
actually ent* r*d the valley w th shout 10.000, and that he
hns now nt the cantnl Ic*m than 7.000, Tlie impression
is gaining ground dial 50,000 men ought to he thrown
into the country without a moment's delay. Santa An
ua w’asnt last accounts nt Tlhscslh with only n small
cavalry force. His Indy hnd s| v ed of Gen. Scott nn es
cort for th” purpose of joining him. which was promptly
granted, anil she was accordingly aufely conducted by
the Dragoons ls*yond die lines.
There nre many other items of intelligence of deep
interest *u the New Orleans jmpers, but we are. compell
ed to omit them for want of room.
