The road then de bnuches to the right. and curving around the ridge. passes over a high (:Ith which is completely enfiladed by fortannd batte ries. This ridge is the 'commencement of the Terra Templada. the upper or moun tainous country. The high andtrocky ra vine of the river protected the right flank nt-the‘poaition.’ and a' series of most'abrupr and apparently impassable mountains and ridges covered . their lelt. Bet Ween these points. running a distance of two or three miles. meucceasion of atrovgly fortified forts bristled at entry turn, and seemed to defy all bravery and skill. The Cerro lGordo commanded the road on a gentle declination. like a glacis. =for nearly a mile—on approach in that direction was 'tmposslble. A‘ from attack must have flcrtnlnalr‘ti in the-almost entire anmhila- 1 tion of our army. But the enemy expec-‘ ted soclr an attack, confiding in the dea pei‘ale valor of our men, and believing that It was impossible to turn their position to the right or left. Gen. Scott. however. with the eye at a skiltul general, perdeiv ed the trap set for him. and determined to avoul it. He therefore had a road cut to the right. auras to escape the front fire from the-Geno. and turn his position on the left flank. This movement was made known .to the enemy by a deaerter fromt our'camp. and consequently a large in-i crease of lorce under Gen. Vega was sent to the forte on their (left. Gen.
