UNION LOSS TWO HIINDRV.D.
Rebel Loss believed to be Much Greater
The Ittpublima has advices from Albuquer
que, New Mexico, Feb. 23, which state that
the Texan rebel troops have made various sig
nificant movements in the, vicinity of Fort
Craig.
On the 18th, they advanced a column'of in
fantry, one thousand strong, in line'of battle,
in front of the fort, and also moved a column
of cavalry eight hundred strong to the west of
our defences, they advanced within a mile and
a-half of the works, and halting with the rebel
flag floating in the breeze, remained some time,
and then commenced a tetrogade movement.
During the time of advance, Col. Canby pru
dently concentrated the .greater part of his
forces on the rear of the fort, when the enemy
commenced retreating, and the infantry was
separated from tbe cavalry. Col. Canby or
dered Major Duncan to charge the cavalry of
the enemy with a squadron 'of dragoons and
mounted men, which they did in gallant style,
The enemy retreating before them until they
arrived at a deep ravine.
The Texan infantry, in the meantime, ad
vanced to the relief of the cavalry, and a skir
mish took place at the ravine. Major Duncan
late in the evening was recalled, and the Tex
ans continued to fall back.
He reported that the Texans had species of
artillery in a battery masked in the ravine but
a short distance below where the skirmish took
place.
On the 19th and 20th the Texans crossed to
the east bank of the Rio Grande in order, It is
supposed, to take possession of the heights
opposite Fort Craig. Col. Canby crossed and
pursued them in force, when the Texans on the
heights fired some fifty cannon shots without
damage to our forces. Col. Canby fired but
two shots, deeming it imprudent to waste his
ammunition.
On the morning of the 21st two hundred
Texan mules were captured, with the wagon
master. The Texans on the highlands are des•
titute of water.
Colonel Canby has the pass to the water
guarded by a battery and a strong force, and all
the other outlets are guarded. The Texans
must either fight desperately for water or our;
render. •
When the express cloesd on the morning of
the 21st ult., the booming of cannon could be
heard in the direction of Valverde, announcing
that the battle had begun.

o'clock, a. e., on the 21at, until sundown of
the same day. The fight commenced in the
morning between a portion of our troopsomder
Colonel. Roberts, and the enemy across the Rio
Grande, with varied success, until one or two

Captain M'Crsy, of the cavalry, but detailed
in command of the battery, and also a small
battery of two howitzers. The enemy are sup

The battle commenced by the artillery, sad
the skirmishing soon became general. Towards
evening most of the enemy's guns were silenced
they having made a desperate charge on the
howitzer battery, but were repulsed with great
loss.
Capt. ki'Cray's battery was defended by Capt.
Plumpton's company of tinned States Infantry
and a a portion of Col. Boos' regiment of New
Mexican volunteers.
The Texans charged desperately and furious
ly with . picked men about six hundred strong.
They were armed With carbines and revolvers
and long Oven pound bowie knives. After
discharging their oort.ines at close distance they
drew their revolv . eas and reached the battery
in a storm of grape. and mister. The New
liTexicans of lino& regiment were panic stricken
and ingloriously fled.
Capt. Piympton and the infantry stood their
ground and fought nobly, till more than one
half were numbered with tee dead.
With his artillery men cut down, his support
separated, killed, wounded or flying from the
field, Capt. M'Cray eat down calmly and quiet
ly on one of his guns, and, with revolver in
hand, refusing to fly or desert his poi; he
fought to the last, and gloriously died like a
hero, the last man by his gun.
The Texans suffered terribly in the charge.
Many of our own officers distinguished them
delves on this day.
Major Donaldson, who was the chief aid of
Col. Canby, acted bravely, and was conspicu
ous in efirery part of the battle. fits horse was
wounded in several places, but the Major was
not injured.
Kit Carson is commander of a regiment of
volunteers, who were deployed as skirmishers
did good service during the action and be
haved well.
We have, however, lo name the loss of
Lients. fdechler and Stone, who, like Captain
ki'Cmy, nobly and bravely maintained tea
honor of our flag to the last, and gloriously
died the death of patriots.
Many other officers are wounded. Our loss
is. about two hundred killed and wounded ;
that of the enemy is believed to be much
greater.
Toe greatest confidence is reposed in Colonel
Canby, and if the volunteers will do their duty,
the Texans will be driven• ingloriously from
the country.
