A sixth general, Vasqucz, was killed in defending the battery in the rear of the w hole Mexican ormy, the capture of which gave us those glorious results. Our Joss, though comparatively small in numbers, has been serious, flrigadier General Shield,a commander of activity, zeal, and talent, is, I fear, if not dead,morlally wounded. He is some five miles from me at the moment. The field of operations covered many miles, broken by mountains and deep chasms, and I have not a report, as yet from any division or brigade.

A fire occurred at St. Louis o few days ago, which destroyed several buildings and a large amount of property originating as supposed, in the careless conduct of a couple of small boys, who sealed therxselves upon a pile of Hemp, and

indulged in the luxury of smoking cigars. The Scott Hotel was so much injured as to be rendered untenantable.--Jour. f Free Press.
