The American arms havenchieved another
most brilliant victory. Outnumbering Gen

positions ,which seemed impregnable as Gib

been taken• to-day. Ilse generals,• colonels
enough to command to vn such armies as more,
and otherl oflleers innumerable, have been
then pridoners, together with six thousand
men, 'and the rest of their army driven

Nothing but the impossibility of finding a
road for the dragoons to the rear of the ene
-my's works saved any part of &Oita Anna's
grand army, 'including his own illustrious
perton.N
Miring he prisonersis our old friend La
Vega, who fought with his accustomed gal
lantry. Tit l e other Generals are Jose 'Maria

have not been able to gather. Nothing, saved
Santa Anna but the want of dragoons on the

CAMP AT PLAN ItillL RIO, April 19.
The route of the Mexicans last evening was
total—complete. They' were Pursued within
four miles of Jalapa by Gen. Twiggs, at
whic,h point there were none to follow.—
Santa Anna himself, instead of entombing
himself as he threatened, escaped by cutting
the saddle mule of his team from the ht mess
of his magnificent coach, mounting him and
then inking to the chaPparal.L i llis seryice of,
massive silver, nearly all his papers, his mon
ey—everytlifig in his carriage, even his dinner
,was captured. I have a capital story to tell
about this dinner when I have a moment to
spare.
The Mexican loss upon the_ heights was
awful-4h° groond in places is covered with
the dead! Among the bodies found was that '
pf Gen, Vasquez, and near him was Col. I'a
lacio, mortally wounded. Their loss in the
retreat was terribly , severe; Every by-path
was strewn with the dead. Had out 'dra
goons been - enabled to reach them in season
all would have been killed Santa, Anna,
among them. Caitalizo, with his noted lan
cers, had the prudence to roams early.
Even up to this time it is impossible to give
anything like a full and correct list of our
wounded officers; it is surprising that many
of them were not killed. Lieut. Derby,
a gallant young officer of the topograghical
engiriers, was badly but not mortally wound
while storming one of the h , ights.
Lieut. Ewell, of the rifles, i supposed to
be mortally wounded. This ,regiment
,has
suffered terribly. Lieut. Dana', of the 7th in
fantry. was badly wounded; Capt. Patton. of
the 21, slightly: Lient. Davis, of the rifles,
oavas very badly wounded in the hip.' Major !

line.-,the work so fiercely attacked by Gen.
Pillow, he charged places with Gen. 'Vas

killed—La Vega defending his post until the
lines of the enemy were completely turned.—
Several Mexican colonels shave been killed,
but their 11:1111014 I hate bean unable to learn,
A brother of Gen. La Vega, a colonel of ar

mortally, wounded.

reckless daring displayed, but shall endeavor
to pick them up.—,l shall also send ion on a

,The o ffi cers and men of the Mexican army—
I mean such as are prisoners—are to be turn
ed loose on their parole not again to take up

disposition that could be made of them, as
any other course would delay Gen. Sectt's
forward. movement, Fifteen of their officers
