The fullowing items were telegrnphed for t!ie Buffulo Courier, being from !ho correspondent of the Picayune at San Juan, April 14. " The news in camp is stirring. An express carne down from Gen. Twiggs to the effect that Sania Anna was at Cerro Gordo, with 15,000 men, as nenr ns could be judged from a reconnoisnnce made by Capt. Hardie, and oiher officors of the Dragoons. Lt. Col. J. E. Johnson had been severely, but not mnrtally, woundeJ, while examining Santa Anna's works, which appeared to be a succession of breast works in the vicinity of Corro Gordo. Every thing will go to show thnt Snnta Anna is determined to make a bold stand. A Dragoon who had been sent down e'preslv hy Gen. Twiggs, was yesterday found shot by the roarl side, just bevond ihis place. His papers had nol been touched. The Mexicans are plnying a bloody, and at the same tinta a bolder game than is usual forthem, ns it is thought they have l:il'ed no less than fifty of our men within ihe last three day?, on the road." He writes from Vera Cruz, April 13, - " Thero is no doubt, nt all, but that Santa Anna, wilh from 12,000 to 15,000 men, is beíwecn here and Jalapa. It is concludedon a!l sides that f Gen. Twiggs does not whip him, he wül nt least keep him incheck until Gen. Scott, who lpft yesterdny, reaches him, which be to-morrow night. Rlnj. Gen. Patterson left here wilh two brigades of volunleers on Frid.iy, and he has no doubt reached the nclvance before this hcur. Gen. Twiggs had with him beUveen 2,500 and 2,700 men under his command, and I entertain little fear of his safety. Gen. Patterson marched with Shields' and Pillows' brigades, and all the force except the gnrrison of the town, and Quitman's brignde is either at the scène of oction or on the road to it. Gen. Scott, I think, was pretty well satisfied belore his departure that Santa Anna was n the neighborhood of Jalapn, and was making good time towards that point, before the express reached him." Gen. Sania Anna was at ornear Jalapa at ihe'.ast accounts, but by this time there is scorcely a doubt that Cerro Goreo is carried by asrault, and the army in snug quarters at the healthy and dclightful city of Jalapa. Ve ra Cruz is as quiet and well governed as any ciiy in the United States. It woukl improve the health some to ihrow down the walls and let in the fresh air, as the commander thinks of doing. Tne only disease prevailiug at Vera Cruz is diatrhoea and great tiumbers were sick. A negro attached to our army was exeented by order of Scolt for a rape upon a Mexican woman. Gen. Taylor wasstill at Montery on on the 5ih, pushing forward supplies and preparing for an advance towardSan Luis Potosi.
