command -Which resulted .in 'the 'engageinent of
lb:aim:Vista, the reveilles ofthe Mexicat.ant4y)
,and the.re-occiipation of this position.
The information which reached me of the ad
vante and concentration of a heavy Mexican force
in, my , front, had assumed such' a probable form,
as to induce a special examination far beyond. the
Teach of our pickets 'to ascertain its correctness.
A small party of Texan spies, under Major Me-
Culloch; despatched to the Hacienda. of t kerne
cion, 311 miles from this, on the route to San Luis_
'Potosi, had reported a cavalry force of 'unknown
strength at that place. On the 20th of February
a strong reconnoissance under 'Lieut. Col.
_May
was 'despatched' to the 'Hapientla of Heclionda,
while Major McCalloCh made another examina
tion of Encarnacion. 'The results of these expe
ditions left that `the enemy was in large
. no .
force at Encarnacion under the orders of General
Santa Anna, and that he meditated a forward move
ment and attack.upon our position.
.
As the Camp of 'Ague Nueva 'could be turned
on either flank, and the enemy's force was
.
greatly superior to our own, particalaily in ,the .
arm of cavalry, I deterrinned, after much consid
eration, to take up a.-position about eleven miles
in rear, and there await the attack. 'The army
broke up its camp and i Marched at n oon' on the'
,
21st, encamping . . at th new position a li ttle in
front of the , Hacienda of Buena Vista.. With. a
small fiarce I predeetled to •Saltilloto make some
necessary' arrangements for the defence, of the
town, leaving Brig. Gen. Woolin the immediate
command of,the troops.
Before those. arrangements Were completed on
the morning of the 22d, I was advised that the
enemy wati:in sight, advancing. Upon Teaching
the ground it was tonal that his cavalry advance
was in our front, having marched from Eneurna
cion, as we , have since learned, at 11 o'clock on
the day previous, and driving in a mounted force
left at Agua Nueva cover the removal of pub-
lic stores.. Our troops were in position occupying I
a line of remarkable strength. The road at this'
point becomes a narrow defile; the valley on its
right being rendered quite impracticable for artil
lery by a system of deep, and impassable • gullies,
while on the left a succession, of rugged . ridges
and precipitous ravines extends far back towards
the mountain which bounds the valley. The 'fea
tures of the ground were such as nearly to P'arab
yie the artillery and cavalry of the enemy, while
his infantry could not derive all the advantage. of
its numerical
.superiority. In this position we
,prepared to receive him. Capt. Washington's 'bat
tery (4th artillery),was posted to command the
road, while the Ist .and 2d Illinois regiments un
der Colonels Hardin and Bissell, each eight com
panieC(to the latter' of which was attached Capt.
Conner's company of Texas volunteers) and the
. 2d Kentucky under Cot McKee, occupied the
crests of thesidges on the left and in rear. The
Arkansas and Kentucky regiments of cavalry,
commanded by Cols. Yell and H. Marshall. occu
pied the extreme left near the base of the moun
tain, while the Indiana brigade, under Brigadier
General Lane, (composed of the 2d and ad regi
ments under Cols. Boveles and. Lane) the Missis

A. body of cavalry, some 1,500 strong, had been
visible all day in rear of the town, having entered
the valley througka narrow pass east of the city.
This cavalry, commanded by Gen. Ninon, had ev
idently been thrown in our rear to break up and
harass our retreat, and\perhaps. make some at
tempt against the town if\practicable. The city
was occupied by four excellint companies of Illi
nois volunteers under Major. Warren of the Ist,
regiment.. . A fi eld-work, which Commanded most,
of approaches, was garrisoneillry Capt. Web
ster's company, Ist artillery, arid armed with two
24-pound howitzers, while the train and,headquar
ter camp was guarded by two companies Missis
sippi riflemen under Capt. Rogers, and a fieldpiece
commanded by Capt. Shover, 3d artillery: Hav
ing made these dispositions for the protection`of
the rear, I proceeded on the 'morning_ of the 23d
to Buena Vista, ordering forward all the other
available troops. The action had .commenced be
fore my arrival on the field.
During the evening and night of the 22d, the
enemy had thrown a body of light troops on the
mountain side, with the. purpose of outflanking
our left;- and it was here that the action of the
23d commenced at an early hour. Our riflemen.
under Col. Marshall. who had been reinforced by
three companies under Major Trail,•2d. Illinois
volunteers, maintained their ground handsomely
against a greatly superior force, holding themsel
ves under cover. and using their weapons with
deadly effect. About' 8 o'clock, a strong demon.
stration was made against the centre of our posi
tion, a heavy column moving alongtbe road
This force was soon dispersed by a few rapid and
well-directed shots'from Capt. Washington's bat
tery.
In the meantime the enemy was concentra.
ting a large force of infantry and cavalry under'
cover of the ridges, with the obvious intention of
forcing our left, which was posted on an extensive
plateau. The 2d Indiana and 2d Illinois regiments
formed this part of our line, the former covering
three pieces of light artillery, under the orders of
Capt. O'Brien—Brigadier General Lane being in
the immediate command. In order to bring his
men within effective range, General Land ordered
the artillery and 2d Indiana regiment forward.—
The artillery advanced within musket range of a
heavy body of Mexican infantry, and was served
against it with great effect, but without being able
to check'its advance. The infantry ordered to its
support had fallen.baCk in disorder, being exposed,
as well as the battery, not only to a severe fire.ot
small arms from the front, but also to a murde
rous cross fire of grape and canister from a Mexi
, can battery on the left. Captain O'Brien found it
' impossible for him to retain his position without
support, but was only able to draw two of his pie
ces, all the horses and cannoneers of the third
piece being killed or disabled. The 2d Indiana
regiment, which had fallen back as stated, could not
be rallied, and took i no further part in the action,
except a handful of , men, who, under its gallant
Colonel Bowles, joined the Mississippi regiment,
and did good service,-and those fugitives who, at a
later period in the day, assisted in defending the
train and-depot at Buena Vista. This portion of
our line having.given way, and the enemy appear
ing in overwhelming, force against -
: our left flank,
the light troops which had rendered such good ser
vice on the Mountain, were compelled to withdraw,
which they did, for the most part, in good order.—
Many, however, were not rallied until they reach
ed the depot at Buena Vista, to the defence 'of
which they afterwards cpntributed.
Col. Bissel's regiment, (2d Illinois,) which had
been joined by a section of Captain Sherman's bat
tery, had become 'completely outflanked, and was
cornielled_to fall back, being entirely unsupported.

desiring to know what I wanted 1 I immediately
!despatched Brig, Gen. ,Wool to the Mexican gene
ral-in-chief, atAitent milers to cease.ftring. Upon,
reaching the can lines, Gen. Wool could not
cause the eat to cease their fire,and according
ly returned.',., hout having an finery:et-v. The
extreme right of the enemy continued' its retreat
along the base of the mountain, and finally, in
spite of all our efforts, effected a junction with
the remainder of .the army - • " •••• -.-
During the day,the cavalry Of Gen. Minion had,
ascended the elevated plain above Saltine, and oc
cupied the road from the city to the field of battle,
where they intercepted several of Our men. Ap
proaching the town, they were fired upon by Capt.
Webster,. from the adoubt occupied -by his compa
ny, and then moved off' towards the eastern side
of the valley, and obliquely towards Buena Vista.
At this time, Capt. Shover moved rapidly forward
with his piece, supported by.a miscellaneous com
mand of mounted volunteer's, and fired several
shots at the cavalry with great effect. They were
I driven into the ravines, which lead to the lower
valley, closely pursued by' Capt. Shover, who was
further Supported by a piece of Capt.Webster4
battery, ender Lieut- Donalds'on, which had ad
winced from the redoubt, supported by Captain
Wheelefs company Illinois volunteers. The ene
my made one or two efforts to charge the artillery,
but was finally driven back in a ~ .confused massi
and did not againappear upon the plain.
In the meantime the firing hiatt:partiallyceased
upon the: principaFfield. The enemy seemed to
confine his efforts to the protection'of his artillery,
and I had left the plateau for a moment, when I
was recalled - thither a very' heavy musketry
lire. On regaining that positron, I discovered that
our infantry (Illinois and 2tl Kentucky) had en
gaged a greatly superior force of the enemy—evi
dently, his reserves and that tii4 C had been over.
wliehned • by numbers. The moment was, most
critical. Capt: O'Brien, with twonieces, had sus
tained this heavy charge to the last, and was final
ly obliged \ to leave his guns on the field—his in
fantry support being entirely routed. Capt. Bragg,
who had just arrived frtim from the left, was or
dered at once into battery. Without any infantry
to support him,\und at the imminent risk of los
ing his guns, this Officer came rapidly into action,
the Mexican line tieing but a feiv, yards from the
muzzle &his pieces. The first discharge of cards
ter caused the enemy to hesitate, the second and
third drove him back in - ,disorder- and saved the
day. ' The 21 Kentucky regiment, which had ad
vanced beyond supporting distance in this affair,
was driven back and closely 'tressed by the ene
my's cavalry. Taking a ravine\ which led in the
direction of Captain Washington'a battery, their
pursuers became exposed to his fire, which soon
checked and drove them back with loss. In the
mean time the rest of our artillery had taken posi
tion on the plateau, covered by the Mississippi and
3d Indiana. regiments, the former of which had
reached the ground in time to pour a fire into the
right flank of the enemy; and thus contributtato
his repulse. In this last conflict we had the mis
fortune to sustain a very heavy loss. Colonel
Hardin, Ist Illinois, and Col. Mikee. and Lieuten
ant Colonel Ctay, 2d 'Kentucky-regiments, fell at
this time while gallantly heatlingtheir commands:
No further attempt was made ,by the enemy to
force our position, and the approach of night gave
an opportunity to pay proper attention to the
wounded, and also to refresh the4oldiers who had
been exhausted by incessant watchfulness and
combat. Though the night was:severely cold, the
troops were compelled for the Most to bivouack
without fires, expecting that mottling would redrew
the conflict. . During the night the wounded were
removed to Saltillo, and every preparation made
to receive the enemy should heagain attack our
position. Seven fresh companieSwere dravvn from
the town, and - Brigadier , General Marshall, who
had made a forced march front the Rinconada,
with a reinforcement of Kentitcky cavalry and.,
four heavy guns, under Captainfrentiss, lst artil-1
1 tery, was near at hand, when R was discovered'
that the enemy had abandoned ills, position during
the night. Our scouts soon stsiertatned that he
had fallen back upon AguaNueiiii. "The great dis_
parity. 'of numbers, and-the:. exhaustion of oar
'troops, rendered it inexpedient.ind hazardous to'
attempt-pursuit A 'staff - office! was despatched
to General Sahta Anna-to negotiate' an exchange
of prisoners, which was salisfAc tority completed
on the following day. Our own'dead were collect
ed'and
.buried, and the Mexican wounded, of which
a large number had been.deft upon the field, Were
removed to Saltine,' and rendered as comfortable
as circumstances would permit:
Qn the evening of the 2f3th,n close recOnnoi-1

was found to be.edeupied only by n small body of
caValry, the infantry and having retreat.

We have to lament the death of Capt. George Lin

not say that their zeal in engaging : the enemy, and

duet of the treops.- Exposed for successivenighti
withoist fires to the severity of the,weather, they
were ever prompt andebeerful, in the discharge of

steadiness and gallantry in repulsing at great odds
a disciplined foe. • While the brilliant success
achieved by their arms releaies roe from the pain

duct before the enemyj feel an increased obliga
tion to mention 1-articular corps and officers, whose
skill, coolness,.and gallantryin trying situations
and under a continued and heavy free, seem tot
merit particular notice.
. 'PO Brigadier General Wool my obligations are ]
especially dues The high state of discipline and
instruction of several of the volunteer regiments l
was attained under his command,-and to his vigi
lance and arduous services before the - action, and
his gallantry and activity 'on the field a large share
of our success may justly be attributed. During
most of the engagement he was in immediate
command of, the troops thrown back
-on . our lelt
flank. I beg leave to recommend him to ~the fa
tvurable notice.of the.governrnent, Brigadier Gen
eral Lane (slightly wounded) was active and zeal.

Moving_rapidly over the roughest ground, it was

Captains Washingtni; 4th artillery, and Sherman
and Bragg, ad artillery, commanding batteries, I
deem it no more than just'to mention all the sub
altern officers: They wetatearly lilltlefaehed . at
different times, and in every -situation exhibited

of Capt. Shertnan; and Captain Shover and Lieut.
-Kilburn, 3d artillery, to that of Captain Bragg.—
Captain Shover, in conjunction with Leut. Donald- 1
son, Ist artillery, - rendered gallant-and important
service in repulsing the cavalry of General Minon.l
The regular cavalry, under Lieut. Col. May; with',
Which was . associated Capt. Pike's squadron of Ai , '

the enemy in' check and in covering the batteries
at several points. Captain Steen,' Ist ,dragoons,
was Severely wounded early in the day, while

troops whichwere falling to the rear. - •
The Mississippi riflemen, under Col. Davis, were
highly conspicuous for their gallantry and steadi

reputation of: veteran troops. Brought Into action
against an immensely superior force, they main

fits distinguished coolness and gallantry at the
head of his regiment on thisilay entitle hiM to the
particular notice of the - government. 'The 3d In

of the 211, under Cot. Bayles, were associated with
the Mississippi regiment during the greater por
tion the day, and acquitted themselves credita

break that portion of our line. The Kentucky
cavalry; under Col. Marshall, rendered good sery •

of cavalry at Buena Vista. The Ist and, Oil Illi

tirnony to their excellent conduct throughout the
day. The spirit and gallantry with which the Ist
Illinois and 2il Kentucky engaged the enemy in
the morning, restored confidence to that part of
the field, while the list of casualties will show
how much theie three regiments suffered in sustain
ing the heavy charge of the enemy in the after
noon. Capt. Conner's company of Texas volun
teers, attached to the Od Illinois regiment, fought
bravely, its captain being wounded and two sub
alterns killed., Col. Bissell, the - only surviving
Col. of these regiments, merits notice for his cool
ness and bravery on this occasion. After ths. fall
of the field officers of the let Illinois and Oil Ken

Major 'Bliss, assistant adjutant general, Capt. J. H

served near tny-person; and were'prOmpt end zeal

artillery, was active and instrumental, as were also
Cols. Churchill and Belknap, inspectors general,
in rallying troops and disposing them for the de
fence• of the train and baggage. Col. Whiting,
quartermaster general, and. C'apt.,Eaton, chief of
the subsistence department,
,were engaged- with
the duties of their departments and also serred in
my immediate staff on the "field. Capt. Sibley,
assistant, quartermaster, was necessarily left with
the headquarter'carnia, near town, where his servi
ces were highly. useful. Major Mansfield and
Lieut. Benham, engineera. and Capf._Liiinard and
Lieuts. Pope 'and -Franklin, topographical 'engi
neers, were employed. before and during the en
gagement in Making reconnoissances` and _on the
field were - very - actiie bringing-information
and in conveying ,my-order s -,to p distant points.
Lieut. Kingsbuiy, in addition to liis"proper duties
as ordnance.otlicer. Capt Chilton, assistant quer
termaster, and Majors Dix and Coffee, served also
as extra aids-de-camp, and:were actively employ
ed in the transmission of orders.- Mr.. Thornas.L.
Crittenden, of Kentucky, though not in service,'
volunteered as myzaid-de camp on this occasion,
and, served with credit • in that capacity. Major
Craig, chief of ordnance, and Surgeon Craig, medi
cal directhr, had-been detached on duty from head
quarters, and did not reach the ground until the
morning of rne; 24th—too late to participate in
tii.action, but in time to render useful services in
their respective departments of the staff.
