Santa Anna made his escape on-amule. - His army is completely routed.:"& would all have been taken prisoners or destroyed. if we had had a sufficient force of-cavalry. The-loss onboth sides has been heavy. Gen.-Shields was severely. and it is fear ed.-mortally wounded. Gern. Pillow was -also wounded, but slightly. -.Col. Haskell's volunteers, the 1st Artil -lery, the 7th:Infantry, and Captain Wil liams'company: of Kentucky volunteers have suffered most. - - - -Mr. Kendall thinks that 500 will cover the entire loss, but he had not been able to obtain even a list of the officers, killed when- he sent off his express.

The division of General Twiggs started two hours since, and- a heavy cannonade has already. commenced *npon this line from the fartherest of the Mexican works.c At intervals, too. the rattling of small arms can be heard distinctly from the Dragoon camp where I am writing this.

Maury and Gibbs, d of the Rifles, were also wounded, but not 1 severely, as was also Lieut. Jarvis of the v 2d Infantry. I could not learn that any i of our officers were killed. The entire loss i on our side, in killed and wounded, is esti mated at about one hundred; but from the i nature of the ground-broken, covered I with brush and thick chapparal, and ex- I tremely uneven-it is impossible to tell < with accuracy. Nor can 1. at this time, c give even the names of the officers who were immediately engaged. About 3 o'clock the enemy made a de monstration from the fort on the neighbor ing height to the one our men had captu red,ts if with the intentinn of regaining it; but it all-ended in marching down the hill, blowing a most terrific charge on their trumpets, firing a few shots. and then re :iring. -Their apparence, as they came down the slope was certainly most imlpo sin. The cannon on the height mean white kept up a continuous fire upon Gen. Twigg's lines, yet doing little execution other -than ctttting down thte trees and brush. -As we returned to camp, the fire -stillecontionued-the enemy had- evidently ascertained the position of the road, which had just been cut, with accuracy, but their -ball princippally'went over. - Gen. Shields, at 3 o'clock, wvas ordered out to support Gent Twiggs, with three regiments -of -Volunteers-twoafro~m the Illinois under Cols. Baker -ands Barnett. T[hey will have warm work-to-morrow, if the Mexicanis stand tip as they did to-day. -There has been not a little skirmishing to-day betweeothe forage and beef parties sent out in the rear, and the racheros.

The murder is said to hate beenrcommitted.on the 28th ult. On that night a train of loaded wagons, escorted by. 200 Infantry and about the same number of horse, undes the command of Colonel Mitchell, of the 1st Ohio Regiment, en camped at Marin, which is about five miles from the scene of the murder. The mounted men were composed of U. S. Dragoons and 'Texas Rangers, under the command of Capt Graham,-of the 2d Dragoons. buspicion rests upon some part of his corps, though no clue has 'at yet been found to discover the guilty. The officers in command-gentlemen, and rigid disciplinarians-are using every means in their power to investigate the matter. Ged. Taylor has got his steam up an the sub ject, and is determined to have hung every one who it can be proved has taken part in the' murder., The town where these men were killed is but a- few miles from the place where the large train was rap tured and so many wagoners massacred on the 22d of February.- Some 15 'or 20 of the wagoners who escaped from that massacre came up in the last train ; yet there is no evidence that they were enga ged in the Gualopa' murder. I-passed over the place oithe massacre of the 22d February a few days ago, and the scene is truly the most horrid and rovolting that I ever witnessed. .The re mains of the murdered men, yet unburied,. stripped of every partical of clothing, lay upon the plains, their flesh devoured by Mexican wolves and buzzards, and their bones bleaching in the. sun. The attack was made upon tho escort, who .were in the advance, by a large body of Lancers. The escort, 40 men, under Lient. Bar bour of the Kentueky Legion, were all taken prisoners, and are now in possession of Urren. The Lancers charged down the train, and.lanced without mercy the wa goners as, they ran for their lives to the chaparal. More than three-fourths of them, it is thought, were killed-and their bodies shockingly mutilated and disfigured. Those who passed the -scene a few days after, say that some had their hearts'cut out and snspended upon the hushes, or thrust into their mouths; the eyes of other were'dug from their sockets, and inserted in' wounds made in, other parts of their bo. dies, and other m'utilations wereperform ed;that would.make evep a North Ameti can savage blushito ;look at.:. et these. acts were-ucmmiited'by Gen. 1rre 's men tpe reguarsoldie4:~1 he~Mezcaa ar aidat he liiifourpieeis of snll ery tit' 'with him'Mario, Grralyo, Mier and li a'" will ell' soon be garrisoned. by'. our troopr, which will render our communica tion ivith-Camargo entirely 'safe. -The' 'troops here are in excellent health and condition. We are laking wmith great antiety for news from den. Scott. Nothing of inter est for Saltillo or Agna Nueva. The sur geons 'report our wounded doing remark= ably well. Of the whole number wound ed in the 1st Missississippi Regiment, only one amputation was. required. The wounds generally are from rusket balls, and of course slight compared to those made by cannon, grape and -anister at the battle fought here. The position of our troops at the battle of BJuerra Vista rendered the artillery of the enemy almost entirely ineffectual; not more thatr eight of our men were injured by cannon shot: Should any thina or interest occur I will Arite you by the next train. SADDLE MOUNTAIN. LATER FROM GEN~. TAYLOR. The New Orleans papers of Saturday mention the arrival of the U. S. steam propellor Trumbull, Capt. Statsberry/ frotm Brazost, ia hich place she left oni the 18th inst. By her intelligence is received from Saltillo to the 28th, and Monterey to the 5tb inst. .. The Arinerican (Mafatadros) Flag of the 14th inst contains not a word in reference to General Taylor's present or prospective movements. The' picayune received no lettefi. T'hat paper s'aya-Gen.

The right wing of the Kentucky Legion had reached the Brazos, and was awaiting th'ere the arrival of the other wing, prior to' sailing for this port. We' learn that none of the volutnteers scarcely are enlisting., As to Gen.;Taylor's future movement, the Delta remarks-One thing is certain, that he can make no onward movement until those who form his present command -'the- twelve month's volunteers whose term'of service is abnut to expire, and some of whom-are already on their way ome-are replaced by. a still greater force of tho volunteers now en route to join him and in' coursfe of enlistment. As soon as hehas.ten thousand of these under his command the word will be unless it shall be 'previously proclaimed,-"forward march !"
