THE BATTLE OP DUENA VISTA, Durinff the evening find nicht of the 23d of February, the enemy had thrown body oi light troops on tlie mountain side, for the purpose of outflanking Gen Taylor's left; and it was here that the action of the 23d commenced at an early, hour. The American riflemen under Uol. Marshall, who bad been re inforced br three companies under Ma. jor Trail, of tho 2d Illinois volunteers, maintained their ground handsomely ngainst greatly superior force hold ing themsefves under cover, and using their weapons with deadly effect. A. bout 8 o'cloclr"ArM. a -strong demon station was rpnds against the centre of Gen. Taylor's' position a heavy col umn moving along v tha road. This force was soon dispersed bv a few mo id and well directed shots from Captain mmr . . nasningion's battery, in tue m,ean time the enemy. was concentratint; x Urge force of tnlantry. and cavalry, un del cover of the ridges, with the obvi ous intention or forcing Uen. Taylor's left, which was posted on an extensive pIa!eaB, The 2d Iudiana nd:2d Jill nois reeimerits formed this part of his line, the former covering threo pieces of light hrtilleryvunder the orders of Capt. u jjrien uen. utne being in - the im mediate command. In order to his men within effective range, Gen. Lane ordered the artillery and 2d Indi ana regiment forward. The arltUari ad variced within musket range o( the Mewatimfantry; -nd'W'Mmi'?f gainst it witli great effect, but without being able to check its advance. The inlantry ordered to its support ' had fal on back in disorder, being exposed, as well as the battery, hot only to a severs tore ..of small arms Irom the front,- but also to a murderous cross fire of grape and cannister from a Mexican battery on the left, f Captain O'Brien found it impossible to retain hu position without support, but was only able to Withdraw two of his pieces si; the horses and eannoniers of the third piece being either killed or disabled. The 2d Indiana regiment, which had fulled back, could not bo rallied, and took no further port in the action, except a handful of men who, under their gallant' Col.1 Bowles, joined the Mississippi regiment, and did good service; and except those fugitives, who. at a later neriod of the dav. assis ted in defending the train and 'dopot at Duena Vista. This portion of the A- tnoriean line having given way, and the enemy appearing in overwhelming force against Gen. Taylors left flank, the light troops which had rendered such good service on the mountain were compel led to wlthdra-w, which, they ; did, for the most parr, in good order; Many, however were' not 'rallied until they reached the depot at Duena Yisia, to the defence of which thy afterward con tributed. "V. . .. , ,. ..' I Col. Bissel's regimented - Illinois,) which had been joiuod by a section of Captain Sherman's battory, had become completely outflanked, and was com pelled tofall backbeing entirely un supported. The enemy was now pour ing masses of infantry and cavalry fe lon? tho base of tha mountain on Gen. Taylor's left, and was gaining . his rear in great force. At this moment Can. Taylor arrived on the field. '' ' The Mississippi regiment had been directed to tha . left bclore reaching the position, i and immediately came - into action against ' the Mexican infantry which had turned their fltnlc The 2d Kentucky regiment and a section of artillery hud previously been ordered from the right to reinforce the left and they arrived at ft most opportune mo nienr.' That regiment snd a portion of the 1st Illinois, under Col. 1 lard in, gallantly drove the enemy, and recov ered a portion of the ground which had been - lost., - -The batteries - of Captain Sherman and Bragg were in position on the. plateau, and did much, execution, not only in front, but particularly upon the.. .masses, which had gained .their rear, t JJiscoverirg that the enemy was heavily pressing upon the Mississippi regiment, the u Indiana regiment, under Col. Lane, was despatched to strength en; that part of the line ; which form ed a crotchet perpendicular to the first line of battle. At the same time, Lieut. Kilbnrae, with a pifce of Captajn Bragg's battery,' was directed to support tbeiiifiintry there engaged. J-; The action was for a long time warmly sustained at that poinl tho enemy makings sev eral f fforts, both with infantry and cav alry against -the American line, but being always repulsed with heavy hiss. Gen. Taylor had place! all the re ular cavalry, and Captain Pike's squad ron ofj Arkansas horse, tinder tho or ders 6f Lieut. Colonel May, with di. recuons to noia in check the cnemvs column, still advancing to the tear, a- long me base ol the mountain. . This was executed in conjunction with the .Kentucky and Aiktuisos cavalry under wa J a BB a a. . . a uoioueis Aiarsnaii and Yell.' In the mean Urao the American loft, which was sun strongly tnreaieneu with a superior ...II -a . a, .1 ' a lorce, was lurther strengthened by the aeiacnment oi unptnu jjrn?sr'j and . a portion of Captain Sherman's batteries. The concentration of artillery fire upon tlie masses of the enemy along the base of tho mountain, and the determined resistance offered by the two regiments opposed to them, had created a confus ion in their ranks, and some of the corps attempted to effect a retreat npon their main line of battle. The squad ron of the 1st Dragoons, under Lieuten ant Rackleir was now ordered tip the deep ravine which these, retreating troops were endeavoring to cross, in order lo charge and disperse them. The squadron proceeded to the point indicated, but could not accomplish the object, being exposed to a lieayy GreTrdm a the retreat of those corps. r . ', J.., While the squa iron of the first, dra goons was detached oa this service, a large body of the enemy was observed to concentrate oq jhe extreme. JefLof the American line, apparently with the view of making a descent upon the hacienda of Bnena Vista where General Taylor's train and baz2a;e were depos ited. Lieut. Colonel May was ordered to the support of that point with two pieces of Captain Sherman's battery un der Lieut, Reynolds. - In the meantime tlie scattered forces near the hacienda: composed tn part -of 'Majors Trail " and Gorman s commands, had beea to some extent organized under the advice ol Major Monroe, Uhief of artillery, with the assistance of Major Morrison of the volunteer staff, and ttero posted lode- fend the posUwoBfora4he.cavaky had reached the hacienda,' that of the enemy made its attack, and ' was hand somely met by the Kentucky and A r knoaaa aavatry unJer CoTonfilsMtrshnll and Yell, The Slexican column im mediately divided one portion sweep- ing by the depot where it received a de structive fire front the force which had collected there, gained the mountain opposite under a fire from Lieut.. Rey nold's section the remaining portion regaining the base of the mountain on the left. In the charge at Buena Vista. Cot Yell fell gallantly at the head of his regiment, aud also Adjutant Yanghan of the Kentncy cavalry, a young officer ot much promise Lieut. Colonel May, who had been rejoined by the squadion of first droogooos, and by portions of the Arkansas and Indiana, troops under Lieut. Colonel Roane and Major Cor man, now approached the , base of the mountain, holding in check the right flunk of the enemy, upon whose masses crowded in the narrow gorges ana . ra vines, our ariuiory- were uoing luariui execution.' fw 'v- f- t The position of that portion of the Mexican armr which had gained tha rear of the American lines, waa now very criticaL aud it 'seemed doubtful Whether it could regain the main body. At this moment General Taylor receiv ed from General Santa Anna a message by a staff officer, desiring to know what General Taylor, wanted?.. General Tay lor immediately despatched Uen. wool to tha Mexican General-in-Chief, and sent orderi tocease firing; . Upon reach ing the Mexican lines, Gen. Wool could not cause tha enemy to cease their fire, and returned without haying tut ? Inter view with General Santa Anna. '1 he extreme right of the enemy continued its retreat along the base of the moun tain, and, finally, in spite of every effort to prevent it, effected a junction with tlie remainder of the Mexican army. ... During the day, the cavalry of Geu- oral Minon had ascended the elevated plain above Sallillo, and occupied the mad from the city to the held of battle where they - intercepted several Amer icans. ' Approaching the town they were firca upon by Captain Webster, from the redoubt occupied by his com- pany, and they then moved off towards tho eastern side ot the valley, and oh- liqucly towards, Buena Vista. At this time Capt. Shovers moved rapidly for- unrd with his niece, sunnorted by a miscellaneous command, of mounted volunteers, and fired several shots at the cavalry with great effect. They wore driven into the ravines which led lo the lower valley, closely pnrsned by Oaotain Shover.'who was: further snp- ported by a piece ot Uaptain weDstera lottery, under Lieut.' Donaldson, which - . . . - . ...... find advanced from the redoubt, support ed by ' Captain .Wheeler's company of Illinois volunteers.

The enemy seemed to confine his efforts to the protection of artillery. General Taylor had left the plateau for a mo ment, when he was recalled thither by a very heavy musketry. On regaining tuav, pusuion, itio uenerai uiscoverea that the American infantry, Illinois and second Kentucky had engaged a great ly superior force of the enemv evident- ly nis reserves ana that they had been a a overwhelmed by numbers. The mo. mens was most critical. Captain O' linen, with two tueces. had served this neavy charge to the last, and was fi nally obliged to leave his ktins on the field his infantry support being entire- y routed. Captain fsragg.who had just arrived from lh left,-was ordered at once IfilObanef f wtthburinf Infantry to support him, and at the immineht risk of losing his gun, this officer came rapidly into action the Mexican line; twins: but a few vurds from the muzzle of his pieces. f, The first . discharge, of t h canjstcr Ciuiaed,, ,the nary to Jiesu lata, and - the second and third drove him back' in disorder, and saved Ihe day. l ne second Kentucky regiment which had advanced beyond supporting die- lance in this affair,- was driven back, and closely pressed by the enemy s car airy. Taxing a ravine wnicn lea in the direction of ,Capt7Washington's battery, their pursuers beea mo exposed to his arcy which , soon checked and drove them ...back,, with loss. , In the meantime the rest of the American ar tillery had taken pasitioii on the plateau, covered y tlie M ississippl Land . third Indiana regiments, the former of which ireached tfiti 'grOiMtlttff fire into the Tight flank of 'the enemy. and thus contributed to his; repulse. in the last conflict the : American acmy had the inisfortund to sustain a very heavy loss.
