Not a wagon has fallen hito the hands of the enemy. We have been opposed by al least 1200 or 1500 guerrillns on these occasions - perhaps less ot the Iti t-t, for they were badly whippedat Cerro Gordo, where their loss was so largo that they could not reorganiza. - Father Jaralua commanded hem.

Kendall sums upthe loss of the different divisions in the great battle of Mol ino del Rey, or Kings Mili, tluis : Gen. Worth's División. The grand total, rece i ved anH not recited above, is killed, wounded and missing, 16a3 WEM! Kendall gives a list of the wounded ofilcers. and adds, "The above list is complete and perfect. There has been much difiïcully in oblaining it, as nearly all the orderly sergeant and executiveoflicers have been wounded or killed. Tl.e conduct of all the non-commissioned qfficers has been gallnnt and most conspicuous, while several of lliem behaved so nobly that they have been recommended for immediata promotion to Gen. Scott. More than half the ofïïeers of Gen. Worth's división have been slruck down eilher killed or wounded, in the nctions of Chubusco and El Meline del Rey, and many of tlie companies have absolutely no one to command them. "Ofour wounded officers, 1 cannot learn tha'. one of them lias received mortal injiirVjBlthougli three or four nre in a dangeious siluaiion. Tlie wound uf Maj.
