DEAR Sta:-The performance of the promise you exacted when we parted in October~last, that I should inform you of matters of interest here, has been delayed by a multiplheity of paiinful causes. The. irreparable amnd inconisolable loss I have sustained of noble amid ardently he loved relatives and friends has bnwed me to the dut, and while my mind has1 preyed * n itself, in conseqluence of my heavy en niaity. and my unfortunoate (butt thantk j.id, ncotrlalea) ahuenice, on the greai 'aaeasions which entailed it. my continued ihealth. almost froma thme very day I reached Vera Croz to the present mno ment, has precluded my wriling at anty lengt' to-any hut the mnembers uf my imn medinte family. To-night lit mnble to sleip. thoughl -feeling~ heater than I have doane in *onmn vecks, andl have riean from tmy htamble bed ofhofi'abha hidfe and ilinket to rgive you a dlescription ofr a military rmutiona wh.ch I witnessedl at .Jalampa on my march to the capital of Mexico. Y.'u will retollc that the poisoners taken after ihie fall of Vera ~Cruz'sud at Cerro Gordo were released; tile officers. upon their-parole of hotnor not to bear arms during she present war, una. less regolarly exchanged. Whmilo the Di. vision tom~ bich I was at tached tarried at .

Two companies of Texan Rtangers were dispatched by Gen. Petterson after night fall in pursuit, antd aboutt four o'clock on the next day. returned with a number of prisoners. nmnongsi whom was a Colonel. .one Captain and two Lieutenatits. The Lietenatts, Ambrosio Alcalde aid Anto nio Garcia, were recognised by some of our ntfieers. who had been at the battles of Vera Cru'. and Cerro Gordo. and who had returned on accnuttt of ill health to the United States. The unfortunate sub alterns were eharged with a breach of pa role, aid being young men. frankly confes sed to the fact. Col Don Juan Elemiancho Roheldaldo and the Captain (whose nume has escaped me) were also strongly sus pected, but were too wise tocommit them selves. They were brought up with us to the castle of Perote. and I believe duichar ged for want ofovidence to convict. The Lieutenants were tried before a military coinission. and unanimously condemne.l to ,be shot utiil they were d '''2-BGu one an a . -,. Ioelapse het ween fIe-finding and execution of the judgment of the cominission. I was at the time de taitted in the city of Jalapa as tmenmber of a court martial. aid quartered in the same huildiug in which the prisouners were con fined. I was present at the annotncement ol'their donm. and felt infini'ely more for 'then than they seemingly did for them selves. The night previous to the exe:u tion. they were pertmitedto pass in .he Cathedral with a number of spiritual fa thers, but under a strong guard. At elev en o'clock on the next clay. I joined Gen. Cushing's staff by invitation, and repaire.1 to the place of extcution. There were present about 4,000 troops. belonging to different arms of the service, who were so disposed as to Form three sides of - square, with the attis resting on the front cod of a huge hacienda, which front completed the square, nearly in the center of which, and atiout four feet from the wall of tlte building, on the edge of the pavement, rested in ominous solemnity. two cntins. We had taken nor position btt a few no mettis. when. that general and uni-tetic feeling which pervades every large assem. bInge, particul-trly on -roleno occasions. told us that the prisoners had reachod the goal whete ended their earthly career.

They were escorted by two conpanies of-Iufantry, one id front, the other in the rear, and by a company of Cavalry, which was divided into pluteons. and marched on oppositetsides by a flank thus frnning another and -movidig tquare.

Not a Mexican of any .1 -gree of respee tability, witnessed ihe execution of th'eir countrymen except the P'rients. who at tended as spiritual conmforiers. Early in the day. every store and house ii the city had its % iidow- and doors shut. A p1inful si lence reigned to the very outsidris of grand Jalapi. They were but young ment: of promitse and young families, and hat been born antd bred in the place'they died.

When we entered ihe church we found a great many Mexican woimanc catered over ihe builditg, al each with swimming eyes, kneeling beolre the figure-or pictare of their favorite sai', prayit'g for the souls of ite dead men. The bodies %ere placed on a high table, covered with black velve and11 gilt embroidery and surmnouuted with many huge candles, all ourning.
