Worth, to b®. with j l ,a division at hand, to support th® movement of major oveerai Pillow from our left The latter seems eoon to have called for thnt entire division, standing, moment ; orilir in wmmmmrm. n.l W rtll • *>] brigade. The call, it'not unnecessary, was at least, j from the circumstances, unknown to me nt the time ; [ for. soon observing that the very large hadyofth* enemy •n the road in front of major general Quitman’s right, was receiving reinforcement* from the city—less than a mile and a halt to the east—l sent instructions to worth, on onr opposite flank, to turn Chapultepec with his divis ion. and to proceed, cautiously hy the road at its north ern base, in order if not met bv very superior numbers, to threaten or nttaak, in rear, that body of the enemy The movement, it was also heleived, could not fail to distract and to intimidate the enemy generally. Worth promptly advanced with his remaining brig j ad-—rolon-lGaHand's—lieutenant F Smith’s | light battallion, lieutenant colonel Duncnns Held bat- I tery—till of his division—and three squailrons of drag- I ooi s, under ma jor Summer, winch I had just ordered to join in the movement. Haying turned the forest on the west, and arriving I opposite to the north centre of Chapultepec, Worth entile up with the troops in the road, under Col. Trous dale, nnd aided by a llnnk movement of a pntt ofGar j land’s brigade in taking tlie one gun breastwork, then i under the tire of lieutenant Jackson s section of captain Magrauder’s field buttery. Continuing to advance, this division passed Chapultepee,attacking the right of th® enemy’s line, resting on that road, about the moment of ! the general retreat consequent npon the capture of the l of the formidable castle and its outworks. Arriving some minutes Inter, and mounting to the I top ol tlie casffe, the whole field, to th®cast, lay plainly under my view 1 Then* are two route* from Chapultepec to the capita! i —the one on the right entering the some gatu, Beltm, | with the road from the south, ria Piedad ; and tiie oth er obliquing to the left, to intersect the great western, or i San Cosiuc road, in a suburb outside ot the gate ot oaa j Cosine. Each of these routes (an elevated causeway) prearnts a double roadway on the sides of on equeduct of strung | masonry, and great height, resting on open archer and massive pillars, winch, together, afford Un® points both for attack an I dee iice. The Hideway., ot both eque- I ducts are, moreover, defended by many strong breast* works at the gates, and before reaching them. As we had expected, we found the four tracks unusually drv j nd solid for the - ason.
