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 troops acre then with
drawn, and a cesr.tion of hostilities ensued, Lieut.
Col. Lane being sent to reconnoitre. 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.

reason to believe him innocent—what is it for, we

The citizens of this city and vicinity, interested in the
contemplated Rail Road to Buffalo, are invited to Meet at
the Com t House on Monday evening next, at-7 o'clock,

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

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

capital, for there is plenty of capital in the 'county to
build it. 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
