On our reaching Las Yigas, a pretty and flourishing little town, it was found that the dwellings were entirely deserted by tne Mexicans, and was satisfactorily as. certained that they had identified theineslvea with ihe guerrillas. With the consent of the commanding general ihe torch was applied to '.he buildings, and in a. few moments the entire town was one oniversil 6ccue of conflagration. Every building in it, numbering between eighty

the smouldering ruins of the town, created sensations belter imagined than described and the example set in this instance it is greatly to be hoped, will have the effect of icbt raining the enemy in future in their muiderous course of warfare. Our loss was, comparatively speaking, nothing. Capt. Gulherie, ;f Iowa, attached to the 15th Infantry, was baJly wounded in Ihe knee, lit Capt. Waikei's company there was one private slightly

wounded in the leg. and they had eleven bosses killed. Captain Walker himself was very slightly wounded in the band, scarcely enough to call il a wound. This was the sum and substance of our loss. On reaching here, Gen. Caldwaliader was met by an express from Gen. Seott, desiring him not to advance with the train, except in conjunction with Colonel Child' command, and the force that w-as logo forward from this post, as large body of cavalry, between two and three thousand strong, with a small field battery, under the command of Gen. Dravos and Alverez, had posted themselves between Ihis aud Puebla, more with, a view uf securing a part of the train in any ex

LATER FROM VERA CRUZ, WITH FURTHER PARTICULARS OF DE RUSSIA'S EXPEDITION. The follow ing is from an extra issued on ihe morning of the 22nd ult. by the N. O.

The first fire of ihe Louisiana troops killed 33 men; so say the Mexicans. Col. De Russcy has covered himself with glory in making so good a retreat, as he was surrounded by 700 or 800 Mexicans all the lime. They got within fifty miles of the prisoners, hut it was no go. The Mexicans out numbered them, and the troops about here are of the Tampico kind and the best in Mexico. Col. Marks lefl a Thursday on Ihe Ma ry Summers for Panuco, and the Mexicans knowing what he was about, and would, when he got to Do Russcy give

them fits, took a stampede and left. The Washington arrived Ihe day before from the Brasos, and the New Orleans fiom Yera Cruz, got heie Ihe day Col. Maiks left, and went to Vera Cruz the same evening for reinforcements for fear of an attack on this place. The

A private express arrived here night

Letters, from authentic sources at the Capital, received at Vera Cruz, assert positively that Santa Anna Tnvors peace, and was only holding back, until that p irty obtained an undisturbed ascendancy to declare it- It was not know n at Yera Cruz w hether the Commissioners had been se-

.lected by Santa Anna or Congress, or if

Congress had met at all. It w as understood that they had been summoned to meet on the 7ih. As to the opinions of Ihe Commissioners, individually, Tornel is a partizin of Parades, Gorostija is of the moderate party, and Baratuiia is a creature of Santa Anna. The Sun of Anahuac says that the Commission tepresentsUie views of Santa Anna, and is therefore decidedly of opinion thai he is in favor of peace. The"Arco Iris" of the 13ih slates that the Commissioners have accepted their appointments and departed to discharge their duties, also that this course has been approved generally by the influential citizens, whose exertions have, in a great degree contributed to its adoption. Another letter gives different names for the Commissioners appointed. Also, that Santa Anna had entered into power lhal there was no change in Ministry, and lhal the majority of them are in favor of an adjustment.

News had been received the day previous from Mexico, thnl three commissioners had been appointed by Ihe Mexican Government to confer with Mr. Trist, al San Martin Tesmelucan, eight leagues from Puebla, and il was supposed they would meet him on the 3d of July. The express rider met with Gens. Cadwallader and Pillow, and their respective commands at Perote. They had been attacked at La Hoya and had completely routed the enemy, having sustained but little loss. No property was lost, and both trains had arrived at Pe

rote; which place, a correspondent says, ihey were to leave on the 9th instant. YVe have seen a letter dated Mexico, July 2nd. The writer says he does not

doubt that a treaty of peace would be concluded at once by Ihe Commissioners. He also says that the peace party has become so cousirlerable in the capital that he thinks that Santa Anna, (who is always on the side of the strongest.) will soon pronounce himself in favor of peace. A letter from Puebla, which w as written several days before the express lefl that place, stales that there had been

some sickness among our troops. We do

not give our readers ihe whole contents

of this letter because il is full of rumors which had not been realized at latest dafs. ; The Mexicans were still fortifying the ciiv of Mexico, bat the means of the

government were so limited, lhat we do not doubt thai it will not be more than a day's w ork for Gen. Scott lo demolish all the Mexicans have done in three months, in case they should show resistance.

At this moment Joseph Davis had made his way into the house through the w inJow, but was suddenly turned upon by Menich and instantly killed. The third man was then entering the house at the door, or perhaps had already entered, when he received two blows, one on the left side of the head and face, ihe axe passing dowu and entering the breast dislocating thecollarbone;the oilier blow was upon ihe right side below the short ribs, making a tremendous wound. No hopes are entertained of his recovery. The man who received the first blow cannot be found, and it is supposed he too is dead. The coroner held an inquest over Ihe body of Davis yesterday evening.

We attended the examination, in the Court House, which was crowded to excess, and the startling discloseres there made, were enough to arouse the whole community. It appeared by the testimony of one w-ho turned stales evidence against his comrades, that there is a mammoth company of pick pockets, thieves, robbers, arid murderers, by the name of the ''Royal Band," or "Boston Sons," that have their headquarters at Pittsburgh, Pa. At Liwrenceburgh, la. they have another resort, for the convenience of the "Sons,"' and one at, Eaton a small branch, yet organized onder a regular captain, who enjoys the noted sobriequet of "Captain Kidd." This gang had laid their plans for burning the houses, and other properly of our cilizens, and of robbing, and even murdering, some business men in our lown. We state what was given in evidence, and which has not been denied by any evidence whatever. The testimony lefl several implicated. Some

of them have left the place; those who

remain have it in their power to show, by their conduct and actions, that these

charges are without foundation, or thai ent.re reformation has done its work. We are alarmed lo know that in this quiet and peaceable community such men are to be found. We are none of us safe while these wretches are at large, and il
