On the morning of the 23d. the prisoners
touk up their line of march for San Luis

stances transpired. which led our officers
to believe that the Mexicans intended to

upon him the necessity of escaping if pos
aible. Major Gaines gave him his thor
ough-bred mare and his tsropistols, which
still remained in the holsters on the saddle

the guard the first good opportunity that
should present itself for so doing. Mr.
Henrie had been allowed to retainhihown

the enemy. Duringthe eveningthul be
fore darli, the Mexicans got up a little bull
light for the amusement ol the-troops ;
and, taking advantage of a time when the
animal was outside of the line of sentinele.
one of ill pursuera managed to escape.—
He. no doubt, curried inlormalion to the
enemy, for during the night the hacienda
waa surrounded by 1.500 lumps, and ev

captured.
I believe they were captured on the
night of the 27th instant. So you perceive
the enemy are coming in around us toll as
near as in at all comfortable or pleasant.—
Col. Marahsll arrived here the 30th of
January fronvMonterey. and gave me
some ol the particulars of the dreadful
murder uf‘Lieut. John It. Richey, of the]
sth regiment United States inlantry, who
had been lor the last few weeks on duty
with one at the companies of the lat dra
goons. recently alationed in this city.
Upon the oth of January certain dee~
patches from Gen. Scott lor Gen. Taylor
arrived at Monterey, and it was necessa
ry they should be forwarded at once. It
was not then known whether Gen. Taylor
was at Vittoria. o'r had gone further down
toward 'l‘ampico ; but Col. Marshall vol
unteered. With one hundred of his regi
ment, to find the general and deliver the
derpalches to him. wherever he might be.
His offer was accepted; and on that day
he {started for Vittoria. Upon the llth
‘ol;._lanuary, while upon the road, he recei
red] note lrorn Lieut. Richey requesting
that'he (Col. M.) would halt at Morelos,
until he could come up nith him ; a‘. the
same time stating thathe had in his passes
aion a mail supposed to contain letters-and
papers of great importance, which were
destined for thearmy at Vittmir. Colonel
Marshall did halt as Mr. Richey desired.
and during the course at the next day he
came up, hating as aneucort a party at 10
of the lat dragoone. He delivered into
Cull'Marshall’s care the mail, but never
saidra word at his having still in his poa
aeasion any deepatchea lrorn Gen. Butler
lot Gen. 'l‘aylor. although he knew Col'i
Marshall lriinsell was bearer of verv‘ im

"end of stopping. he went directly on to
Villa Grands, tn uhtch plaeo he had rea
son to believe Col. M. intended to march
thatnight. Col. M. ltowet'er..u[terhav
ing proceeded to within five milee of
that place. halted and encamped. The
nexl morning he moved on. and, on enter
ingthe village, was informed by the ser
geant ol'Mt. Riehey’a party that the lien
tenant hnd been missing ever since the
night bélore. That when he arrived at
Villa Grands. he had stopped with his
men at the house of a Mexican named An
tonlo Sanchez. situa'ed upon the Plaza of
the town, where he had nnnouneed that
Col. M. \lllh his command would be up
that night. Thatl afler he had eaten his
supper. he had walked out nith an Itin
gliahman named McGill. and had not been
heard from or seen again.
Col. Marshall immediately directed in
quiries as to the stopping place of this man
McGill. and found it to have been in a lit:
tlc rural. or hut, srttrated in the suburbs of
the town' full half a mile from ithe plaza ;
and upon inquiring of the proprietor of it,
nltere the Englishman had gone, was told
he had left the night before at 12 o'cloelt ;
ithat. previous to his going away. he had
iexpresaed apprehensions for his safety—
‘seerned greatly agitated, and instead of go
ing to Linares, where his journey lay, and
upon the road to which Col. M. was en
camped, he had gone in an entirely difler~
ent tlirectron towards Fresno. Col. Mar.
shall's suspicions were at once aroused a
gainst McGrll. as being in some way con.
cerned with the sudden disappearance of
Mn. Rrehey, particularly it hen he learned
that an arricro had informed one of his
men that he had seen McGrll and another
\thite man enter the seam! together; and
from “hit-h he had not seen them depart,
although he had encamped near by for the
whole night. Col. M. now imagined that
Mr. Richey must have been murdered, and
that McGrll and the owner of the xacal
“are in some say participators in causing
his death ; and as a means of getting the
truth out of the latter, ire determined to
hang him up. Thte he did do. Before he
was dead, however. he was talten doun
and again questioned. but still denied all
knowledge of what had become of Mr. Rt
chey—at the same time alleging he had
never even seen hiru. Col. M. then deter
mined to take him as a prisoner to Victoria.
in order that Gen. Taylor himself might
decide upon the case. He also arrested
the first Alcalde of Villa Grande. and tools
him along likewise. He told the second‘
alcalde that if- upon his return McGill‘
was found. the first should be released-1
Col. M. then wenton. He found General
Taylor at Vittoria, who. in a few days, re
turned to Monterey. When the general
arrived at Villa Grande. he ascertained that
Mr. chlrey had been murdered as Colonel
Marshall had supposed—his body having
been found at some distance from the town.
tAn American. named Dr.'l‘hompson. are
lsident of Hidalgo, was present when it tras|
‘diseovered. It appeared from an examin
lation of the remains, that the murderers
had at first laeaaed Mr. Richcy, and had
then gal'oped away to ‘ this spot, dragging
his body over the earth. and tearing it in
the most shocking-manner; that they then
stabbed him. twice in the back. stripped
him, robbed him of the important despat‘ch:
es of nhteh lrs was the bearer ; and then.
not being satisfied with what they had al
ready done, mutilated his remains mostl
barbarously. Dr. Thompson had the body
brought to to» n. and gave its christian bu-l
rial. Gen. Taylor immediately instituted!
the moat diligent search for the murderers.
McGill had been taken by the second al-t
calde. and brought back ; but strange as it‘
mrgl.t seem, upon being examined by the
general. was believed not to have been guil
ty, and allowed to go again. At length‘;
by the confessions of some of the inhabit
ants, it appeared that a plot had been form
ed by fifteen Mexicans to cutoff Mr. Rich
ey and all his party. But thatal‘ter he was]
murdered. the rest of the plan fell through,‘
and the murderers scattered in difierent di
rections. Some of them General Taylor
was able to secure. and from those he
learned the names of the rest He then
gave the authorities of Villa Grands six
streaks in which to arrest the others -—aser
ring them, as I have understood, that if
they were not found and delivered up by
that time he would cause the, town to be
levelled'to the earth. As a furtherinducc
ment, he offered/I‘ve hundred dollars to a
ny person or persons who should take
them. and two hundred dollars for the den
patchea. He is understood to have said
that ire considered their loss equal to that 1
ofa battle—as they contained tlte whole .
planpfthe campaign—the attack on Vera
Cruz and all—and have no doubt gone di
