The following graphic account is given
by an eye-witness of the rteent defeat of
" General Vidauiri, by the forces under General

i ican Government forces:

rntnon cent a detachment of 1,300 men'to
recommit re his camp, with orders to fall
back, in the event of an attack.
3 On the 28th he sent out a larger detachment,
with similar instructions, and after
i having made himself thoroughly acquainted
with Vidaurri'u strength and position, on
the morning of the 20th, prepared for a
general attack.
II is army consisted of .11,000 men, oflicered
by the best men in Mexico.
Having determined to make tho attack
with the bayonet and lance alone, he detailed
8,000 men to remain as a guard fur
the artillery and military stores.
3 lfo thou ordered 3,000 Lanceros to take
position on the right and left wings of Vidaurri's
army, at safo distances, and liold
' themselves in readiness to cut off the fugitives
in the event of a route.
Then placing himself at the head of
> 5,000 infantry and cavalry, ho moved toward
the camp of Viduurri.
t Aa the army arrived upon the hills which
commanded the plain whero Vidaurri with
t 8,000 men were encamped* Goo. Miramon
ordered a halt; and, pointing with his
sword r.cres? plain, wild: "Soldiers
' of Mexico 1 there are the enemies ot' the
15 llopnblio and the enemies of the Church ;
s this day wc shall strike a Llow that will
give rest to the Republic, and rebuild the
j altars of our holy religion."
H When these words wero concluded, a
shout from 5,000 voices of" Viva Repvplien,
Viva Ui hiylcxia !" resounded in tones
of the deepest enthusiasm throughout the
linca.
So soon ns silence was restored, the bug?
les sounded, and tho army advanced with
s fixed bayonets and lance, orders having
- been cfivcn for not a musket to be fired un
til tlio batteries should be taken.
Ah the attacking army advanced, Yi'
damn's gunucrs were distinctly seen hold
ing in their hands their lighted port fires,
3 awaiting the orders of their commanders,
1 but tho ariny of Mexico stoadilv advanced.
When within two hundred yards of Vidaurri'a
lines the order to " fire'' wnsirivon
and sixty pieces of camion and eight thousand
small arms belched forth their murdcj.
rous hail upon the assailants.
In an instant, and before the troops had
' time to waver, the order to "charge rang
down the lino from the sharp voice of (Jen-.
? oral Miiamon?tho order was obeyed, and
boforc the artillcry-ir.cn could reload their
pieces, a large party of litem woro lanced at
their guus, and tho batteries were taken.
' Simultaneously, Miramon's infantry bad
' fallen upon Vidaurti's Voluntaries with
their bayonets, with such fury as was irre
? Hi?tiblo. Lancets and bayonet# wore clot'
ted with blood, while builots picrced tho

of tho cavalry that baa been posted upoi/
