INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE

i he Mexicans here, one and all, denounce
Santa Anna for a coward, a triior, and every
thing else that is bad ; and I verily believe
that a majority of them would rejoice ex
ceedingly had Gen. Scott captured him ihe
other day and hung him upon the first limb
strong enough to bear his weight.
I informed you the. other day that I had
a story to leil of Santa Anna and his trav
elling can iage. In his great haste to leave
il he went off without taking any ofhisef
fects a small writing case only was found
btoken open, for he had no time to unlock
it, Horn which he had evidently taken a few
papers of great importance ; but the majori
ty of his effects his silver pbte, his papers,
his money-al! were there in good condition.
Two of our officers entered the coach, and
what did they find, after rummaging; about,
but a most excellent dinner, together wilh
delicious wine . and some highly flavored
cigars. To say that they did not sit them
selves comfortably down on his richly ensh
oncd seats, partake of his delicious wine and
tinislied it off with his highly flavored cigars,
would be departing farther from the" truth
than 1 care about doing just now. The
names of the officers were Capts. Williams
anil McKinstry, and ihe dinner was a perfect
wind-fall after a hard morning's work wilh
out eating, and wilh slim prospect ahead for
food.
The first number of the American Star is
out to-day, 3iul is completely running over
with news and information. The proprie
tor deserve all success for Iheir public
spirit, ami lam glad to see that their edition
of this morning is going off rapidly.
It is slili i uncertain when a main move
ment of the army is to be made. The want
of transportation is severely felt, for with his
present means Gen. Scott finds the greatest
difficulty in extending his line of operations.
In the mean' time, small parties of ladrones
and rancheros are committing depredations
in the rear, and such i- the nature of the
country that they can only be punished with
the greatest difficulty.
Yours, etc. G. W. K.
P. S. Important! 10 o'clock, Jl. .V.
The diligencia or stage-coach is just from
the city of Mexico, from whence fhey have
received pipers up to the 22d inst. The
news of the terrible defeat at Cerro Gordo
had reached the capital, and while it aston
ished and overwhelmed all classes, the tone
of ihe papers, of the public men, and of the
Congress itself, would also show that it had
served to inflame the people still more
against the United Slates.
From a passenger, a Spaniard, who arriv
ed in the diiigencia, we learn that as yet they
have done little or nothing- towards fortifying
Mexico. He alo says th it there is a strong
party in favor of peace although the mem
bers hardly dare avow themselves. There
are no regular troops of consequence on the
route, aud all those who escaped , at Cerro
Gordo, with the exception of a portion of
the cavalry, have dispersed in every direc
Ml
BUM
tion. On the 2Gth April, immediately afler
the reciept of the news ui Santa Anna's de
feat, Gen. Mariano Salas called a meeting
of officers to devise some measures by. which
to preserve the nation from utter obliteration.
No one here thinks that the Mexicans can
ever make another stand and give another
grand buttle, but the impression is prevalent
that small parties will be organized to an
noy the roads, cut ofTsupplies, and kill strag
rlers. G. W. K.
Jalata, Mexico, ApMl 25, 1917.
I have borrowed the copies of El Repub-
licauo for an hout. Thev are dated at the
cily of Mexico, April 21 and 22d, and the
latter gives a full account of the battle of
Cerro Gordo. -
The Mexican particulars of the combat,
as usual, are peculiarly rich. 1 hey siy
thai Sapta Anna sustained the combat with
6000 men against 14,000, and fought vali
antly to the last. When, finally, he found
himself entirely surrounded by enemies, Le
forced a passage through Ios Yankees
wilh a column of the 4th llegiment of Infill
try of the line! The fact, as every tine
knows, is that Santa Anna left eaily all the
cultino; he did was to cut the saddle mule
Ironi his coach, and then cut and run.
The Mexicans admit that they had two
generals killed, but give no name save that
of Vasquez. Cols. Cosio and Calatayud are
also named as amonu- the killed. G'-n.
ocott's loss, on the 17th and ISih, is put d.i vn
at over 4000, while the loas of the Mexican.'
is admitted to be 2000 men in killed and
wounded. They say that the Americans
fought like hordes of savages, killed all that
presented themselves, whether wagoners. old
men or women.
Gen. Salas who was President ad interim
before the arrival ol Santa Anna from exile,

Cerro Gordo. The name of the hill should
also be piaced on the colors of each regi

strength of the place, nor the immense difficul

upon storming it. It is saidthat Santa An

The diiigencia came in this morning from
Perole, but from no point on the other side,
as the Governor of Puebla has ordered it to
cease running this way. Passengers came
through, however, bringing papers and ver
bal news, and in as concise a form as possi
ble, I will give you the amount of the intel
ligence. Among other rumors brought by passen
gers, is one to the effect that Mr Bankhead,
the British Minister, has renewed his offers
of mediation between Mexico and the Uiiiieo
Stales, and that when the last deligencia left
the city of Meixco the Congress was acting
upon his propositions, whatever they may
have been. Notwithstanding the fixed and
denunciatory tones of the public pres, there
is certainly a peace party in Mexico, and
there may be something in this report of
English intervention in the di-stracteJ affjirs
of Mexico.
An intelligent man wilh whom I have con
versed, says that the Mexicans neither will
nor can make any opposition at Puebla.
A paper pulished at Puebla on the 24th
inst., La Verdad Demonslrada, came to
hand to-day. I could only obtain the paper
for a short time, .but long enough to see that
the fierce wrath of the ediior was fairly
boiling over. He denounces the Yankees,
he denounces every body that will not turn
to and help him to denounce ihem.
Major Borland and Gains, Capt. Clay,
with the other prisoners taken at lucarna
cion some months since, are said to be at
libertjpnn the city of Mexico. No less than
six of the party, as it is reported h3ve alrea
dv been assassinated by the" Mexicans.

India Rubber Car IVheel Iu London In

very curious manner to the wheel ofcabs.
A hollow tube of about 14 inches in diame

with air, is made to encircle each v. heel,
similar to a tyre, and all springs to the cab

EXTRACT fiom a lettet of Lieut. Theodora
Talbot, doted
City of the Angel, California,
'January 15, 1847.
"Since 1 it I wrote you I have bad an ac
five liie. Col. Fiemout left Ihe city of the
Angels in September, under command 'f Capt
A. H. Gillespie with ibi ly odd riflemen, the
commodore having entirely withdrawn hii
force and proceeded wilh" his squadron to
San FraucUeo. We moved to the noith, tho
colonel having wuh nim only 40 men, (hi
old paity.) the ie.n of the force having in patl
preceded in, and part been disbanded, with
he exception of two amall parties stationed
Miuih of the City of the Angels. I wan left
us military romoiaudaul of the towu and juris
diction of Santa Barbara, n ptetty place lying
on the oceau oue hundred miles noiih of ihe
Ci'y of the Angels, and the piiucipal town
between thi t place and Montciey. There
were only nine men left with me, it being
the colonel's intention to recruit at the north.
Mini lelurn immediately. The Piefeel, the
piincipul civil authority of the southern de
paitnieiit, rexided there, aud I was left for the
pti'pose of supporting him. My posit iou wna
n very pleasant one ; Santa Ruibnra being
the residence of tome of the smteliet Dotn
and prettiest Senoras in all California. I
had beoti here, however, but a few days when
I received a Correo, post haste fiom Capt.
Gillespie, biingiug news of a rebel lion in the
South the Citv of the Angels being surround
ed by 5U0 of of (he Calilo ni.ins under arm.
i' he couiier had barely escaped wuh his life,
and biough: me Gillespie's motto seal, con
cealed in a cigaiita, to voutch fr Ibe troth
of what he told. Having warned me ho
hunied iti to the noith t give this news tn
the colonel and commodoi e. I spent several
att.xiousdays every moment expecting to be
uttucked lo my-bni racks; hearing only through
the women, ho, noble and disinterested al
ways in ihe hour of need, would give me sorb
little inftif nnii ion as they could obtain witb
reir od to the motions of the insurgents.
' Here lei me reinatk, that nothing has sur
piised me so much, in my little inteicouise
with the Mi'xicuiM, us the humanity and
chaiity of the women, as com pined wkh the
almost biuial ferocity of the men. You will
lecollect that Kendall isluiu the same opin
ion with leleience lo the Santa Fe expedi
tion. "Ahhuogh rny position wa very precarious,
1 kept a fiuii tippet lip, iu order to keep do w
the people of Santa Batbara, with some 70
fighting men, and several reside nt Mexican
noiih. I soece.-dod in this until the City nf
Ihe Angels is lukeo, an-d- Gillespie forced
to capitulate). Manvel Garpis, the comtnau
der, then marched with two hundred tneu nil
S i ut. i Baibaiu. '1 hey surrounded the town,
and sent in n letter demanding my sui render,
aud guaiatileeing our lives, &tc, &.e. They
gave us tvohou:s to deliberate. We had all
determined not to surrender our amis; nad,
finding the place we then occupied untenable,
wilh mi small a force, we dt-letmined to push
for the hills, (our bet gtouud lor righting,) or
die in the attempt. I accordingly marshalled
my little f.nce, and marched 'out of the town
wiihout opposition those ho lay ou the
road retreating to the maiu force which was
on the loM'er side of the town. The few
foreigners living iu the town daied riot tssi.
nie; and the Californians, ail of cou-se, took
arms agaiust us. Having so unexpectedly
been allowed to pass Iheir foice, I cariijicd in
the hills ovei looking Ihe town, aud determin
ed to remain there a few days, and co-operate
ith any force that might be landed at Santa
it niir.i. I remained heie? eight div-, when
the Califoi ii iaus having diseoveied my where
abouts, finally determined lo route me out.
Not knowing my exact posit ion, they had
divided ii to two or three patties; and eno of
ihnn, consisting i.f some loily men, happen
ed to strike upon the very pot where I was.' I
was air- of iheir corning, nud had given my
meu oiders not l fire uutil they were in
among us. Bot my men were so eager to
get a hbot, (hat two of ttiem nbo were posted
iu the a-rny, or raviue, nearest the enemy,
forgetting my iuHrucliou, fired just aslhef
came marching hi on us. Tbey had fi'td
too far for iheir own shots even to be effective,
killing only tho horse of one, and wounding
ibe horse and guizing the hip of another of
the enemy. But the Calilot uians fled, nor
would they agaitt come within reach of our
rifles, pouring a fire fiom their long caibines
from the neigboi ing bills. Tbey sent a for
eigner to me.oflerinu to allow tne to retain rny
arm and fieedoin, giving my parole of honor
not to iutefere fanner in the war about to bo
waged.
"I sent ihe man bark with wod that I
prefeired to fight. Finding I would not give
up, Ihey put fire iu all round me, and succeed
ed in buiuiug me out. 1 eluded, them,
however; and after lingering a unther day, in
hopes that a force would arrive, I determined
to push for MoQietcy. 1 came down oa a
rancho, railed Sao Marco, where we got some
thing to eat, for we bad been starving 'or sever
al dayn. We were also fortunate as to rind
an eld soldier of General Michellon-iia, who
was naturally inimical to the CalifoMiiau.
Ho piloted us across the coast mountain,
which is here ninety miles wide, aud very
ruined, into the bead of the Tulare valley to
the" Lake of Bnena Vuta. Here I wa, fami.
liar with ibe cotintry,nd afler a month s travel,
coming "'" 600 "'iks. mostly afoot, eudur
iug niucb hard-hip and suffering. o at length
effected a junction with Colouel Fremont at
Monterey. .
