NV. before our readers in advance of our
publication day, the glorious tidings from the army
brought by the achr John Belt.
The following account was prepared for us by
■n officer of the ar my. It may be relied on. Wo
publish also Gen. !-anta Anna's account of the
battle, from which it will be seen that he has au&
fered a defeat, though he covers up his retreat with
a flourish of words. It will be seen that victory
has been won at a aacrifice of many brave area.
Dr. Turner, of the U. S. A., who arrived at
Matamoros on the 9th inst., fom Monterey,
brought the glorious intelligence of another bril
liant victory over the Mexican army. The scene
of Cotton was at Buena Vista, about six miles
west of Saltillo.
The fighting commenced on the 22d February
and coded on the 23d.
Santa Anna retired to Ague Nueva, a distance
of 10 miles, leaving 4000 killed and wounded on
the field. The loss on our part was 700 killed
and wounded. Santa Anna's forces amounted VI
at least 16,000 men. That of Gen. Taylor's to
about 5,000, almost entirely volunteers.
His army is composed of Washington's and
Braggs' Artillery and Thom.' flatteries, nne
squadron of the Ist and 2d Dragoons, the Arlon•
us and Kentucky Cavalry, a brigade of Illinois
and one also of Indiana volunteers, the first Miss•
iuippi and second Kentucky Regiments, and one
company of Texas volunteers.

Col. Curtis, of Ohio, with one company from
Capt. Hunter, of the 2d U. S. Dragoons, his own
regiment, one of Indiana volunteers, the Virginia
regiment, and I think some Texas Rangers, in all
about two thousand men, were about to leave Ca
',largo, to attack Gen. Urrea, who is said to be 30
miles south of that place, with an army of 4000 to
5000 men, principally rancheros.
He is believed to have with him only 1500 reg•
tiler troops. A great many if not all these ranche
ros, as soon as they hear of the diacomfiture of
Santa Anna's Army, will disperse, and the gallant
Colonel will no do.ibt obtain the victory.
This 111,1 i from above proves that the various
reports which had before b en received of General
Taylor's retreat upon Monterey, and the advance
of a large force to attack our depots at the Brazos
and at the mouth of the Rio Grande, to be untrue,
Of the defences at the mouth of the river 1 know

The fortifications at the Mazes, with the force

ploy, which can be raised as a garrison, are suffi
cient to drive hack a command of at least 2,500 or
3.000 Mexicans. The work, which may be tech
nically termed a continued line, enclosed all the
quartermaster's and commissaries' stores in depot.
The parapet is formed of barrels of damaged com
missary stores, with sand bags for the superior
slope.
The sand from a ditch has been thrown up
against the barrier, and forms the exterior slope.
The armament of the fort consists of four pieces of
artillery, two twelve and two six pounders, in bar-
Tette, which sweep the foot of and cross their fires
upon the level plain over which the enemy would
be compelled to advance, and about 300 muskets
to line the parapet. This me thrown up when an
attack was daily expected.
Nothing having reached us from Gen. Taylor

A tier waiting three or four days, anxiously ex

SANTA ANNA'S ACCOUNT
NVe annex Santa Anna's own account of the ac•
tion at Buena Vista, as translated fur the Tampico
Sentinel. We have the original Spanish account
in our possession :
(lists NEAR Bcrr• VINT), Feb. 23, 1847.
Excellent Sir—After two days' battle, in which
the enemy, with a force of 9 to 9.000 men and 29
pieces of artilley, lost five of his positions, three
pieces of artillery and two nage, I have determined
to go back to Agua Nueva to provide myself with
p ovisions, not having a single biscuit or grain of
rice left. Thanks to the position occupied by the
enemy, he has not been completely beaten, but
has left on the field about 2,000 dead. Both armie,
have been cut to pieces, but the trophies of war
will give you on idea on which ride has been the
advantage.
We have struggled with hunger and thirst dur
ing forty hours, and if we can provide ourselves
with provisions, we will go again and charge the
enemy. The or Idlers under my command have
done their duty, and covered the honor of the Men
ican nation with glory. The enemy has seen that
neither the advantage of his position, nor the bro
ken nature of the ground, nor the rigor of the sea
son (for it has been raining during the action)
could prevent the terrible charge with the bayonet,
which left him terrified.

OFFICIAL DESPATCHES!
BATTLE• OF BUENA VISTA,
Headquarters, .drmyof Occupation,
-
t amp on the field Of llitle, Buena Visit',
MEXICO, Feb. 24, 1847.
SIR—I have the honor to report that,
having become assured on the 20th inst.
that the enemy had assembled in very
heavy force at Encarnacion, 30 miles in
front of Agua Nueva, with the evident
design of attacking my position, I broke
up my camp nt the latter place on the
21st, and took up a strong line in front
of Buena Vista, seven miles south of
Saltillo. A cavalry force left at Agua
Nueva for the purpose of covering the
removal of supplies, was driven in dur
ing the night, and on the morning of
the 22d the Mexican army appeared im
mediately in front of our position. At
11 o'clock, A. M., a flag Was sent, bear
ing from General Santa Anna a sum
mons of unconditional surrender. To
which I immediately returned a nega-
five reply. The summons and my reply
are herewith inclosed. The action was
commenced late in the afternoon be
tween the light troops on the left flank,
but was not seriously engaged until the
morning of the 23d, when the enemy
made an effort to force the left flank of
our position. An obstinate and san
guinary conflict was maintained, with
short intervals throughout the day, the
result being that the enemy was com
pletely repulsed from our lines.
An attack of cavalry upon the rancho
of Buena Vista and a demonstration up
on the city of Saltillo were likewise re
pelled. Early in the 'night the enemy
withdrew from his camp, and fell back
upon Agua Nueva, a distance of twelve
miles.
Our own force engaged at all points
in this action, fell somewhat short of
5400 men, while that of the enemy,
from the statement of Gen. Santa Anna,
may be estimated at 20,000. Our suc
cess against such great odds, is a suffi
cient encomium on the good conduct of
our troops. In a more detailed official
report I shall have the satisfaction of
bringing to the notice of the government
the conspicuous gallantry of particular
officers and corps. 1 may be permitted
here, however, to acknowledge my great
obligations to Brig. Gen. Wool s seeond
in command, to whom 1 feel particularly
indebted for his valuable services on
this occasion.
Our loss has been very severe, and
will not, probably, fall short of 700 men.
The Mexican loss has been immense. I
shall take the earliest opportunity of
forwarding a correct list of the casual
ties of the day.
I am, sir, very respectfully your obe
dient servant;

[Summons of Santa anna to Gen. Taylor]
You are surrounded by twenty thou
sand men, and cannot in any human
probability, avoid suffering a rout, and
being cut to pices with your troops; but
as you deserve consideration and par
ticular esteem, I wish to save you from
a catastrophe, and for that purpose give
you this notice, in order that you may
surrender at discretion, under the assu
rance that you will be treated with the
consideration belonging to the Mexican
character,to which end you will be grant
ed an hour's time to make up your mind,
to' commence from the moment when my
flag of truce arrives in your camp.
With this view, I assure you of my
particular consideration.

SRhillb, Feb. 25, 1847
SIR : I have respectfully to report that
the main Mexican forte is yet at Agua
Nueva. Our troops hold the position
which they have so well defended i and
are prepared to receive the enemy i should
he venture another attack.
An arrangement has been made With
General Santa Anna for an exchange of
prisoners, by which we shall receive all,
or nearly all, of those captured from us
at different times, besides the few taken
in the action of the 23d. Our wounded,
as well as those of the Mexicans which
have fallen into our hands, have been re•
moved to this place, and are rendered
comfortable.
Our loss in the recent actions ; go far
as ascertained, amounts to 264 killed ;
450 wounded, and 26 missing. One com
pany of the Kentucky cavalry is not in
cluded in this statement, its casualties
not being yet reported. I respectfully
enclose a list of the commissioned offi
cers killed and wounded, embracing
many names of the highest merit.
I nm, sir, very respectfully, your obe

Major General U. S. A. comd'g.
TIIE ADJUTANT GENERAL of the Army,
Washington, D. C.
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF OCCUPATION,
Ague Nueva, March 1, 1847.
Sits : I have the honor to report that
the troops of my command occupied
their original camp at this place on the
27th of February, the last of the Mexi
can army leaving the morning of that
day in the direction of San Luis. It is
ascertained that the enemy is in full re
treat, and in a very disorganized condi
tion ; the L men deserting and dying of
starvation in great numbers. I despatch
a command this day as far as Encarna
cion to harass his rear, and secure what
erer supplies may be found there.
Froth the statements of Mexican offi
cers, particularly of the medical staff
left to succor the wounded, there seems
no doubt that their loss in the recent ac
tion is moderately estimated at 1500,
and may reach 2000 men, killed and
wounded ; besides 2000 or 8000 deser
ters. Many officers of rank were lost.
I enclose a list of the names of our own
killed and wounded, made as complete
as practicable at this time. One regi
ment (Kentucky cavalry) is not inclu
ded, its return not being rendered.
The enemy had fully reckoned upon
our total route, and had made arrange
ments to intercept our retreat, and cut
off the army, stationing for that pur
pose corps of cavalry, not only immedi
rtely in our rear, but even below Monte
rey. I regret to report that they suc
ceeded near the village of Marin, in de
stroying a train of supplies, and killing
a considerable number of the escort and
teamsters. Col. Morgan, 2d Ohio regj.
ment, on his march to Ceralvo from Mon
terey, was infested by the Mexican cav
alry, with which he had several rencon
tres, but finally dispersed them with
small loss on his own part. Capt. Gra
ham. A. Q. M., volunteer service, was
mortally wounded in one of these af
fairs. I have no doubt that the defeat
of the main army at Buena Vista will
secure our line of communication from
further interruption, but I still propose,
in a few days, to change my headquar
ters to Monterey, with a view to make
such further arrangements as may be
necessary in that quarter.
The disposition made to harass our
rear, vindicated the policy and necessi
ty of defending a position in front of
Saltillo, Where a defeat has thrown the
enemy far back into the interior. No
result so decisive could have been ob
tained by holding Monterey, end our
communications would have been con
stantly in jeopardy.

Merchant. and Residents of Rtaitingdon and via. ,
to their stock of
CHINA ANp 'QUEE&SWAItti
. _
Which via.he've no h,sitation in saying is the (arg
ent in the Calked States, and which, in the greater
part, is m a de for, and imported by ourselves.
Any person having used Queensware or China
for a number of years, will notice the general dete
rioration in the quality—this is owing to the great
ly reduced prices. In some of the manufactories,
where a good name has been established, and pride
taken in their character, no such inferiority is ob.
nerved—from such houses have we constantly en
deandred to make our stock. and we are determined
to sell our wares as low as any quality, whether
equal or inferior, can be sold in the U. S.
There in a prejudice against Chesnut Street,
raised from a false notion of higher prices. Our
rents on this street are lower than on any other
business street, and nothing else could possibly
make a difference. Bat no house can succeed
here that does riot keep the heat qnnlities of goods,
and this does not suit all—hence the prejudice.
We have every kind of Ware, from common
Painted Teas, Edged Plates, Mocha, Granite,
Printed, Flow) g Blue, &c. &c. to the finest China
and Glans,
We are anxious to extend our business, and
take every proper Means of doing so—hut not ma•
king personal application to strangers here, we
have no other means of doing it, than by the aid of
our old friends, by advertieinf, and by the quality
and price. of our goods.
