Worth advanced his infantry down the plain, and at tacked the enemy's works in the front and cen tre.; The Mexicans openeJ upon them a most murderous fire from the point attacked, and both their flanks, which mowed Mown our tnmpa like grasa before the acythe. . Many of the bestofrt cere of the division were cut down, and the hea vy lof in the ranks caused the advance to wa ver for a 'moineht. until the supporting force enme up, which also sustained a severe loss. A column of lancers, numbering 4000 :o fiOOO which were stationed on the enemy's right, per ceiving tliy etX ct o( this deadly fire on our in fantry, caiue charging riown, in the hope of be ing able to lake advantage of circumstance, and put our troops to root but they were soon checked in their onward career. Col. Duncan brought two pieces of his hsttery to bear upon theni, and Capt. Drum, with the two recaptu red B.iena Vis'a pieces, also opened his fire u prm them while at the same moment. Ma;. Sumner, with two squadrons nf dragoons, and Capt. lUfTs company of mounted rifles, which, until then, had been .held in reserve, patsed down under the fire from the enemy' works, and ehargeH the head of Ibeir column, which they could not stand for a moment, ami com. menred a confused and precipitous retreat. Al ter that, lliey rallied twice, and attempted -to return, but at each, time our little handful of dragoons made them leave without exchanging card. While the cavalry and the infantry, rallying," succeeded In carrying the buildings and breastworks Which the enemy held, and compelted them to retreat capturing 7 pieces nf artillery, a large quantity of ammunition, small arms, Sic , and about COO prisoners. As soon as they were driven from the buildings. Capt. Drum and Cut. Duncan advanced their light batteries, and Lieut. Stone brought for ward one of the 24 pounders, the whole ot which opened a inoat destructive (ire upon them, as they retreated across a low plain to the rear of Ibe position they at first occupied. Our lose was very heavy, and I regret to say, that enme of the very best officers of our army fell killed and wounded, while the Mexican lose waa very slight, until they commenced their retreat While the cavalry were passing in front nf the enemy, in order to charge the column of Ian cers, they vere not under 'the fire more than ten aeconds, and during that time the'y austiU ned a los of G officers wounded", 31 privates kil ted and wounded, and a loss of 103 horses. There were but two officers that did not have their horses shot under them but there i one thing very remarkable, that the horses from which the rider bad been shot, wheeled and moved with the same regularity as though they had been mounted, uutil they came lo halt from the charge, when they all kept on in bod in direction of the, enemy. , , ;, . We were deceived in reference to the char actcrof thehuilJings, as there waa ho foundry, ot even a tembUnce nf one and after blowing op some ol the buildings, and bringing oR our killed and wotinded, we evacuated the place, as the occupation of it would give us no advan tage. Our loss was 800 killed, wounJed and missing. The result of this engagement taught us one lesson, which was, that the Mexicans use their trios well, sad fight well, when they are in po sition ; and although the superiority of our arm, and the valor of the troops will eventoally tri umph, yet still we must call into requisition all our military science and skill, or we purchase our Victories at loo dear a priee.

A he approtcnea, .Mexican ollieer rode riot with two of Ms'fscttrr, and came up wfthln a very ehortdislanee, whenCapt.

Mason then said to the officer, 'That fellow nf yours' speaks very good English, but he makes very bud use of it, and his scurrility is in stri king contrast with your own respectful lan guage. If we had him in our camp, we would leach him to be more respectful ..The Mexi can officer then rode idTto one side. Cipt Ma eon, who had been making his observations du ring the whole time ol the conversation, aaid to the officer, 'I have no desire at .present to be brought within th rang of your goes, and ha ving learned all I want In know a boat your po sition, I will bid you good morning,'. sir;' and then returned to where he had left his escort, which until then had been unseen by the Mexi can," who rode hack to the fcrt, apparently uwteh mortified and disappointed that he had not been able to decoy the captain into the trap that had been set for him. On the 11th, a column of cava'ry sallied nut from the fort on the San Antonio road, either fur the purpose of threatening our position or taking Capt. Magruder's battery, ' which was stationed with the picket within about NN) yards of their fort, thongh in a great measure covered from the range of their gun. As soon as they got their column moved out into a plnce free from all obstructions, Capt. Magruder opened two pieces uponthein with thnt ami shell, which pased through them with great deal ruction, and they took lo their heels, and got hack to the fort aa quick as p-wsible. The fort opened two guns on the battery, but without further effect than killing one man of the 15ih infantry. , An, offi eer abort ly after rie up and inquired of Capt, Magruder if the fort had fired on hint. Hold ing a 12 pound shot, he replied Uial he bad tha gentlemen's card, and be expected his cannon would carry back hie compliments tn the fort About sundown Gen. Twiggs, with the ba lance of hia division, arrived at Piedad and Gen. 1M low moved with his division to the eoulh of Tscnbaya, and took a position oi, the west side ot Chapultepec, and Gen. Quitman, with hia di vision, occupied the road from Tacuhaya lo the city of Mexico. Gen.

Steptoe's fire throughout was one of the most effective and well directed thai haa been witnesaed during tha war, while hi position waa such that the enemy's shot had little or ho effect upon him. The siege batteries continued an uninterrup ted fire upon the Castle of Chapultepec throtigli out the day, which waa answered by eleven guns in tne worx, Uur guns proved to be ve ry destructive, a we found after the work waa taken f00 dead men unburicd but thrown in ditches.

Quitman's force and the brigndo of Gen Smith swept the works nn the road, the whole nf the rommind moving barnmniouBly and si multanenusly together, much to the honor nnd credit of their respective commanders, struck the enemy in their different positionsat one and the same , time a fatal blow. The hill where Gen. Pillow command ascended, had been mi ned for the purpose ot blowing tip our troope when they arrived at this point, but the rapid movements of the Voltigeur Regiment, and the deadly effect of their rifle, a they followed up he enemy from tho first position, prevented their carrying nut their views and intentions. Ju-H a the command ol Geo. pillow rose the hill, and wlnle in the act nf assaulting the work, he fell wounded, and Colonel Ransom, waa killed, but so lucidly had Gen. Pi!!ow ex plained hie objects and intentions in carrying the work and aided by an active and efficient staff, that his command mo veil on and carried the work without even being brought to a Hand. As Gen, Quitman's division was charging on iho work in the road, Brig. Gen. Shield recei ved a severe wonnd in the arm, and aa soon a tfie works were carried he returned and had it IreWed, and again mounted his horse, which was shortly afterwards killed under him, but he continued tn command hie brigade, which was actively engaged throughout the day, and the name of Shields will lung b remembered in connect ion with the laurels won by the Pol mettn of tl.e South and the Empire of the North Gni. Pillow being disabled by his wound, G-n. Worth took Ihe command ol both of his own division and that of General Pillow, and advanced along the aqueduct leading to the fBtee of San Coem. (Jen. Quitman, with his own command and Gen. Smith'e brigade, alto advanced towards the city by the anjncducl lea dine into the city at the gate ol Pirdud, which ia commanded by the Citadel, On cacti of the nrutes the two columns met with a dicided and stubborn resistance, and alU'r the advance rf Gen. Worth's comma .d had reached the gate of San Cosmo the fire was mi hot that they were compelled temporarily to abandon it and did rot make a permameut lodgement until to ward e evening, when a portion of the siege train battery was brought into action, as also a piece or two ot the mountain howitzers, whirh hurleil'the shot snd shell about the eara of the enemy a little hotter than they desired. 'Gen, Quitman's column, with the Rifl-s at their head continued steadily and cauiino!y on, taking po sition and breast wot k as they came in contact with them until they arrived near the gate ol ihe city. Here' the firing was so heavy, both from small arm and artillery, that it was deem prudent to carefully reconnoitre it before attack ing. Accordingly Lieut. Beauregard, of the engineers; Irvell.nf Gen. Quitmau's staff, and Van Doren, nf Gen.
