The loa ou oii part wa ,seven hundred tilled and wouiidod. "S-inti. AfinVs Tjrce amounted to at least fiftee'ti thousand men, trfat of Gen. Taylor to about five thousand, aTTnost entirely volunteers. His army is" composed of Washington's, Bragg's and Thomas' batteries, one squadron of the 1st and one of the 2d dragoons, the Arkansas and Kentucky cavalry, a brigade of Illinois and one of Indiana volunteers, the 1st Mississippi and Kentucky regiments, and one company of Texas volunteers. Dr. T. brought a list of G3 officers killed and wounded. I left in such haste I was unable to obtain a copy, but recollect among the killed Capt. Lincoln, Ass't Adj't Gen. H S. A.; Col. Yell, of the Arkansas cavalry; Capt. M-tore, Adj't Vaughan and three Others (not named) if the Kentucky cavalry; Col. McKee, Lieut. Col. Clay; Capt. Willis, i!d Kentucky Infantry; Col. Hardin, of the Illinois brigade; Major Gorman, and many of the Indiana brigade: severrl of the Mississippi rcjimeat, and two Lieutenants of Texas volunteer. Among the wounded I remember Gen. Lane, Col. Jefferson Davis, 1st Mississippi Regiment, Capt. Stein, 1st U. S. Dragoons, Captain Connor, Texas volunteers, Lieuts. S. G. French and D: r t o a : 1 1 1 - i ni ir . 1. .. u.iibiu vviiitijcuLru Uli - ' - - r - - vs üfieu, j. o. xriuiery, iieui. jjuiuei, u ivt-iiiucnjf Infantry, Lieut. Corwin, 1st Mississippi Regiment, and Lieut. Whiteside, of the Indiana brigad e. The official despatches of Gen. Taylor have been cut off. Col. Morgan's regiment Ohio volunteers, having been reinforced by a command from Monterey, had reached that place in safely. Col. Curtis of Ohio with one company, Capt. Hunter's 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 "AKJO men, was about to leave Camargo to attack Gen. Urrea, who is said to be about thirty miles south of that place with an army of from 40ÜO to ÖOOÜ men, principally rancheros. He is believed to have with him only 1500 regular troops. A great many if not all of these rancheros, as soon as they hear of the discomfiture of Santa Anna's army, will disperse, and the gallant Colonel will no doubt obtain the victory. This news from above proves that the various reports which had before been received of Gen. Taylor's retreat upon Monterey, ana the advance of a large force to attack our depots at the Brazos and at the mouth of the Rio Graude, to be untrue. Of the defence at the mouth of the river 1 know nothing, but haw been told they are sufficient lo make a strong resistance. . The fortifications at the Brazos, with the force ofartillery and persons in the ijr.artermaster's employ, which can be raised as a garrison, is sufficient to drive back a command of at t a , IS? I g- tli u ii HT .. ieasi maaj or owu inexicans. The work, which may. be technically termed a continued line, encloses all the quartermaster's and com missary's stores in depot. The parapet is formed of parrels of Lmageu commissary s stores, with sand bags for the superior slope ; the iaad from a ditch in troat, thrown up against the barrels, forms the exterior tlope. The armament of the for, consists of four pieces of artillery two twelve md two s,ix-pounders, in barbette which sweep the foot of and across their fires upon the level plain over w lach the enemy would be coiupellcdilo advance, and about 300 muskets to line the parapet. Tnis was thrown up when an attack was djr. expected. Nothing having reached us from Ueu. Taylor for many aays, we believed him surrounded, as was reported, and gave' some degree of credit to the rumor of the advance of a large force upon our depots. After waiting three oj four days, anxiously expecting the approach of the .enemy, we received the glorious news above-uriderstood of course, that the battle of Brazos Sautiag was- ' no sa go ;" and when I sailed the artillery effort Harney, instead of mowing down the Mexrtans, was pealing forth a salute in honor cf old ' RJugli and Ready " and his gallant little army at Buena Vista. We annex Santa Afflia's own-account ot tke actions cf Buena Vista, as translated cor the Tampicu Sentinel. We have the original Spanish, accouat in our Possession Camp near Buejta Vista, Feb. 23, 1947.

There was a storv vesterdar that the . Mexicans had taken possession of -point Isabel, ana mat me sci.oouer Swan, which arnveJ yesterday, brought a confirmation of these facts. We need only say that there is not a word of truth in the report, as far as.she is concerned, and that no such news has been officially received by the commander of this city. AM.

Lebauoo. S. N. Napoleon's Blood in the U. S. Senate. A writer in the Boston Courier says of the new Senator from Louisiana : 44 His name is Pierre Soule. He stands very high at the Bar of Louisiana, and his position has been gained rapidly. He was born in France, and when he came ti this country, offered his services to Gen. Jackson as a gardener. The General, finding him to possess talents above his station, offered him the ose of his library, and recommended him to study. He did so, and commenced the practice of law in New Orleans, where his succops has been very marked. But this is not the most curious part of his history. He claims to be a natural son of Napoleon, and his personal appearance does not discard the supposition. His complexion is verv swarthy ; his eye black, restless, and deep set ; his hair long and glossy black. He is broad-shouldered, well formedi of medium height, has a serious and reserved air, and a half scowl upon his countenance. Those fond of tracing resemblances, would find many points in which to compare him with the Great Captain. Not among the least striking, are his small and delicate hands, and his genteel foot. A stranger would be likely to consider him a Cherokee or Choctaw Indian." CtpThe New York Post quizzes the whigs for their eloquent taciturnity " on the subject of the tariff. 14 Eloquent taciturnity" is a pood phrase, as Folonius would say. More Miltonic is the term 44 expressive silence." Loth are both eloquent and expressive. ftrVe are requested to state that money contri buted to the relief fund will, during the absence of C. Fletcher, Esq., be received by Thus. H. Sharpe, at the Branch Hank. tirWe are teouested to announce Joiirr Docclasi as a candidate for Tieasurer of Marion county, sulject to tbe decision of the Whi county convention. &7We are authorized to announce JACOB LANDIS is a candidate for Treasurer and collector of Marion c untr.

Coiigreioiinl Convention, What say the Democrats of the Fifth ConrrePsional District! Shall we have a District Convention ! We suggest that each county composing the District at once take measures to appoint delegates to attend such a convention, to nominate a candidate for Congress to be elected by the stern democracy of the district. We have no choice as to place or time, eo far as we are personally concerned. But as near as we can learn, a majority are m favor cf holding such convention At Indianapolis, On Saturday, the lbth day of May. What says tne volunteer and the examiner! it is time to be up and doing. Let ut go to work in earnest. Let the Democracy immediately take the measure in hand: let us be harmonious; and in a spirit of concession and liberality, choose our man, and elect lam. .there need be no difficulty appre nenueu, n we are true to our principles, nut we must not be idle. Every blow struck must tell Then up and on. Every county attend at once and act. Send your proceedings to the newrpapers, and have them published. Now is the time to begin . and wnen warm weather comes, we will first vote and then crow ! ! Old Marion pledges herself to do as well, it not better, for the nominee, than any other county in the district. Which county accepts the challenge : Old Marion, Awake! The several townships are earnestly requested to hold meetings at the earliest possible day, (cay Apri lection day) and appoint delegates to a county con vention. The county committee recommend a county convention to be held At Iiifljanapoli, On Saturday, the 10th day of April, where it is hoped each township will be fully rcpre sented. Brethren ! important matters will be before you to be acted on. Your delegates to a district convention are lo be selected. Your candidates for the LepMsla ture. and the most itr.oortant count v otfice". are to be nominated. See that c.icb township is fully and fairly represented. Let us all meet with a determination to be governed by principle to act for ourselves, I'niibribed by influence, and unbought by gain." Then with union and harmony, if we are true to ourfelver, we hall be eminently successful. Up then. Men! Leave not for others to do, that which you can do fqr ourselves. ' ,
