Interesting from Cliihualnia; BATTLE OF SANTA CRUZ DE ROSALES The U. S. steamship Fashion, captain Morgan,• arrrived from Brazos Santiago yesterday, ‘vhence she elided on the 30th ult., bringing us several ay's later intelligence from the Rio Grande, and inter esting news from Chihuahua. Among the passengers on the Fashion, was J. L. Collins, Esq., bearer of dispatches from Generuk Price and Wool, to headquarters at Washington. Our readers am already familliar with the name of Squire Collins, honorable mention having been repeatedly made of him. He was taken prisoner some months since near Chihuahua, and confined till about the first of February, when he succeeded in making his escape and joining the American troops at El Passo. Ile participated in the battle of Santa Cruz de Rosales, with Gen. Price's com mand, and has kindly furnished us with a succinct statement of the affair and-the events which were connected with it. As we have no account of the engagement save from Mexican sources, an Ameri can's version of the affair be read with inter est. e st Mr. Collins informs- us that shout the fit'st week in February,he succeeded in breaking prison at Chihuahua, then in possession of the Mexican troops under command of Gov. 'l'rias, and after an ardu ous journey of six days, succeeded in reaching El Paso, 300 miles distant, then under command of Lt. Col. Rails, of the Nissoust Mounted Volunteers.— Previously to his arrival, intelligence had been re ceived from various' sources that Urrea, with a strong force of lancers, was upon the road to attack them, having made a detour to the westward, and these reports were confirmed by the rapture of a small party of Mexicans, under command of a lieu tens at, who were surprised and taken at a small town called Carrazalt, half way betWeenChiqu'aima and El Passo. Letters announcing the intended march of Urrea were found in the po-session of the commanding officer. intelligence was thereupon dispatched to Santa Fe to Gen. Price, who immedi ately started with two companies of the Ist Regi ment U. S. Dragoons, commanded by Major 'Bell, one oompany of the same regiment, acting as ar tillery, commanded by Lieut :Love, anti the battal ion of St. Louis infantry, commanded by Likt. Col. Easton, and the Santa Fe battalion under Maj. Walker, and arrived about the 39th of Fein nary, at El Passo, increasing the command to about sixteen hundred men. It *as ascertained that the report of Urrea's al- Vance Was entirely false, and Squire Collins furnish ing Gen. Price with all the information of (inc. Trias's'Position and means of resistance, Gen. P. at oncedetertnined to march down and attack him. Accordingly, on the Ist of March he started ‘‘ ith about 400 men and arrived at Chihuahua on the evening of the 7th, performing the entire distance in.the extraordinary short pace of seven days. A .deputation of the chic authorities came out and held an interview with Gen. Price, informing - him of the reported conclusion of the treaty of peace between Mexico and the United and entreat ed hiin not to enter the city. Geo.' Price ter): properly disregarded this request, doubted the in formation and marched into the city':' Ascertaining that Tries was but one days' ma rch removed from him, he determined to follow the next morning, and accordingly raised all the horses he Could to supply the place of those broken down on the march from El and the next morning at 8 o'clock his command %%ere all on the march after Tries. Notwithstanding. the proems long march es, this gallant command accomplished the distance of sixty miles that day, and halted before the town of Santa Cruz—a place of about 2000 inhabitants, where Trias's command were in possession. About 7 or 8 o'clock the next morning, Gen. Price sent into town a flag of truce and demanded the uncon ditional surrender of Trias.• This, Gov. T. refused, but subsequently consented to held a personal inter view with Gen. Price, nt which he int'unne.l hint that he hatdreceived information of the conclusion of a treaty of peace, and was in daily expectation of the receipt of intelligence announcing the estabr 7 lishment of an armistice. Various propositions were made on both sides, both parties, under existing circumstances, being relubtant to resort to a contest at, arms. General Prid i e would not consent to Gov. Trias marchin! , awax with all his arms and munitions, but agreed to perurtit him to return with them, or scud them to Chihuahua, and if they received official intelligence of q treaty, then to permit l e nt to remove them where he chose. Gov. 'Prins rej eted this as well as the proposition to surrender, but begged Genera Price to wait four days, by which time he confident ly expect the return of an extraordinary courier, whom he had despatched toThirango for information with regard to the treaty and arms-tdce. To This Gen, Price cohsented, and not only waited the four dove. but four days harer, at the expiration of which time, a. portion of his force having come up, increasing, :his strength Co about '7OO, he determined to attack the town. The Alex leans had not been idle all this time, having strong ly fortified the Plaza and the streets leading to it, loop-holed their houses, and made every preparation fora frrm resistance. (in the morning of the it;th. about S a f t er another demand fur an auemiditional .i.-orrender had been made and rejected, the attack recominenced by a brisk cannonade. The American forces m ere sub sequently,divided into three parties, to attack the works from three different pii-itions—the first un der Col. Rails, the second under Lieut. Cli L aii n, and the third under Major Walker, of the Santa I'e Idattalion. The contest wry maiotained ith-great vigor until about 11 o'clock, v. hen a report was brought in that a force of about 900 .Nlemt :in lan cers had arrived near by, and acre about making an attack upon the rear.

The report of the arrival of lancers proted to, be fal,e, and about 3 o'clock the actiillT was resumed and continucd un til about dusk, when the American. had succeeded in working their way throu , ll tl,c hou,es into the plaza, and the Nlexicaus surrendered at discretion, after having fought with unusual bravery all day.

A general attendance is requoted. I MANY CITIZENS. Eric, May 19, 1118. RAIL ROAD CONVENTION, e see in the Fredonia Censor, a call for a Conven tion in that village, on the - 24th inst. for the purpose of forming a company for the construction.of a Rail Road from Builltlo to the Penn Sylvania Line. All interested are invited to attend, which includes, of course, the citi zens of Pennsylvania, as well as New York, and we hope to see our town well represented on the occasion. Of the; importance of the road proposed to be built, especially to this city, there can be no doubt. We have often urged_ the matter upon our citizens, and now when our friend. , in New York are about to take measures to meet its at the Line, we should not be backward in moving in 'the met ier. As we haveeonce before said, there is danger, if the road from this to 6 the New ,Ypik Line is not put un der contract during.the present summer, of the charter being repealed at the next session of our Legislatnre.— Pitusburgh and Philadelphia have a deep interest at stake in this matter. Their Central Rail Road is intended to secure western travel, by,tappipg the Lake route at Cleve land, lint with a rail road from this place to Bufralo„ ?rii ting with the; New York and Erie Road at Fredonia , they cannot do it—hence they is id not It another session lkss without an enrol to repeal the chat ter from here to tin New York Line, Already Pittsburgh begins to l'01111&1111 on account of the decrease id travel in eon.equenec of the better and clieaper rotqe 'Trout Cincinnati to the ca.-I, by way of the Sandusky tildif road and the Lakes. VVitli t this link completed; and the New York and Erie road uniting us with the city, she' cannot fail - to see that 'the travel she has now lost is but a tithe of what it will in motive, then, of interest and rivalry;vill are 'her and the other juirts of the State interested in the Central rbad, to go for the repeal of our charter, unless wove them by itninedimely taking 111 V aQure.: to commence the work. This movement on the part of New York, unit cc us a , sura nee that they will he prepared to meet u: at the Line. Then; why longer deld:% !

Eyery farmer along tits-Hile could t a k e A lt o el s , and pay in the pro Mee of his farm, in unterials for its contraction, or , in work. 'it this way it could be Inclt within ourselves. And then, the enhanced value of real estate along the line, the facilities i 1 would alliird for gi ting'produce to market, and the other Mown: ruble ad . vantages it would confer upon our county, would he ample smilcientdo j e ry the cost of construction.
