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.

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.
