Pi.an t»Kt. Hio, April 17.
The <1 ivision of (Jen. Twiggs started two hours sne.*,
and a heavy cannonade has already coijin encod upon hi*
line from tun farthest of the Mexican works. At inter
vals.tou. the rattling of small arms can lie distinctly heard
from the Dragoon camp where I am writing this. I am go- ;
iiigout, with CoK. D'liie.m and liohlau, and (’apt. Rem
In rton, to tin scat . f action,and will return In re at night
to re p rt th progress of the fight. It was not intended,
I Im 111 Ve, that (»eli. *l’vv iggh bhotlld open the light to da) ,
it h nsl t" bring on a general action, and it mthf frl .rc
prrnunml h* the .Mexicans have commenced upon Inin. I
vvrite in great haste. G. \V. K.
f, R. M. — I have just returned from the scene nf con
(l et, and a h!<»<m 1 y one it has h*en considering the number
engaged. A hill this side of the farthest Mexican work,
and oti which there was no one seen lard evening was
i-.....,,! , f.,| by tin etieiity'ri light troops this morning,
and to free it wf»» hi oner i i»uiie|», naahle. For
tins purpose the Hides under Maj Sumner, besides do
tarlnnents of artillery and infantry, were order'd to
charge nptho rugged ascent. This tlu-y did in gallant
style. driving the .Mexican*, aft* r a lesistance which
may he put down as most obstinate. Great numbers of
I the enemy were Killed, while on our side tin* loss urns
also.severe Major St inner was allot in the bond by n
musket hall severely but not mortally, fds. Mauray
arid (Jiblis, of the Rifles, worn also wounded, but not si
v< rely, as was also Id. Jarvis of tin 2il Infantry. I could
| nut learn that any of our officers were killed. 'Hie entire
j h ss on ihir side, in killed and wounded, is estimated at
a bruit one hundred ; but from t e nature of the ground_
broken, covered with brush and thick rhaparal, and ex
1 ir- tnely imeven—it is iinpoHsiblo to tell with aceuracv.
> r can 1. at thY time, give even the names of the « Hi
!<*ir, who wa re immediately engaged.
Vhout J o'clock the enemy made a demons! ration from
; 'he fort on the neighboring height to throne our men
had captured, ns if with the intention of retaking it ; hut
it nil ended m mnr.diiiig dow n the hill, blowing a most
i« rnfie charge on tin :r trumpets, firing a few shots, and
l hen ret trie. Their nppr arttiee, ns they came dew u the
slope, wns certainly most imp* sing. Tim cannon <.n the
height meanwhile kept up x conliiuious fire upon (Jon.
Tw "jgs* lines, vet doing litilc execution otlirr than cut
ting down the tret sand brush. As wn returned to camp,
the fire slill continued the enemy had evidently ascer
mined the p «iti u • f the r< ad, which had just been cut,
with accuracy, but their hall* piincipally went over.
<i n Miinids, at J o'clock, was ord< r.d ( ut to support
(Jen. Twigg*. wi:h three rrgimi nts of Volunteers—two
from Illinois under Cols. Maker and Harnett. 'I’hey will

they did to day.

Imr- the work so fiercely attacked hy Gen. Pillow, hi*
changed places with Gcn. Vasqm z. The latter, as I have
already slated was killed -La Vega d< fended his post
until the lines of the runny were completely turned.—
Si vc a I Me •xican colonels have been Killed, but their
name* I have Ifcrn unable to learn. A brother of Gen.
La Vega,a colonel of artilllcry, was severely, and, as
ih supposed, mortally wounded.
Hundreds of case* of individual gallantry, in storming
I the dill* rent height*, arc mentioned. Col. Childs led on

it is the bent disposition that cotihl ;>e made of tlum, as

I imvp given their parole of honor to report themselves,

r l Kllir.ti uim \u.> fir# lilt, BATTLE
The “American Kaglc” published at Vera Crux, i*.
sued an extra on tin* 2Rih ult.• from which we extract
copiously, I hough there arc many reptitions in it;
The positions occupied hy the enemy were as strong
as nature, combined with art, could make them and
could you hut see them whilst reidinjr these lines. yUu
would wonder at their surrender. The Cerro Gordo, the
most prominent« f the defences, commands the Jalipa
road fur twoor time miles, and a heavy battery here, hi
the hands of skilful nu'ii, would ker p an army in check
fir many a day. if not entirely prevent its passage. The
importance of this point was soon made apparent to all,
and last night, about twelve o’clock, a piece of cannon
was hauled upon a neighboring eminence, w hich after
sending sundry shot upon the enemy, was found of luile
avail, and in the morning the Cerro Gordo was stormed
and carried—not, however, before the commander-in-chief
of the Mexicans had secured himself a safe retreat, by
falling hack, with his body guard, several units upon
the.ialap.1 road.
In the mean time, the other defences w ere lieiug storm
ed hy our troops. Three forts, situated nearest to our
camp, and upon three heights adjacent to each otlirr—
each commanding tin others—were the objects of attarA;
ami li e carrying of them was the task of the voliinttpr*.
The crntie one of these forts run further in than the oth
* rs, and this Iwingthc object of storm, the advance of
t!ie stormrrs had to mid. rgo the fire of the right ami Isft,
and the centre—the latter of which prudently withheld
ns li e until our men l ari advanced wiiliin flirty yards of
the guns, and then the digs of war were in loose with
such fury, tint our men were driven from their jusiiiun,
with great s.aughter —the 2d lYniiesseatis, who ware in
•dvauce, having a large number of killed and wounded.—
Bel..re the volunteers had time to renew the attack, tho
enemy had surrendered--driven, as they had been, from
th ir favorite position on Cerro Gordo.
'Faking all things into consideration, this has been a
great light, and a great victory, one calculated lo shine
brilliantly in the chapter of those achieved in Mexico ly
our arms.
'Fhe Mexican forces on tho height of Cerro liurdu
were the 3d and 1th Light Infantry, the 3d and fab Reg
rnents ofthe line, and ti pieces of artillery, with the n
(piisito number of cavalry. Col. Ol.ando, chitf of ar
tillery, was killed, and Gen. \ astpies general of division.
Many ol our oflic. rs w ere of opinion that this general van
no'other than Gov. Morales.
Our toree consisted ol the 2d, 3d and 7th Infantry ard
Mounted Riflemen, and Steptoe’s battery, ( apt. Mt
n> u, ol the Rifles, was >evere|y wourried, having kstl.il
leg. Lieut. I4, well, of the 71 h Inlantiy, was beitu]
wounded, (’apt. Fatten, of the 2d, left hand shot off
tin fhe Lwth, Lieut. Jarvis, of the 2d Infantry, vm
wounded in ascending the first hill.
On the top of the ( erro Gordo, the scene was truly
horrible. I* rom the Jalapa road, dead bodies of the en
emy could be seenon every spot where the eye was di
reeled, until they literally covered the ascent to the
height. I here is about half an aTe of level ground on the
top ui the mountain, and here was collected togethci the
wounded ot both armies, and the dead of our own. .Side
by side were lying the disabled American and Mexican,
:md our surgeons were busy amputating and dressing th*
wounds ol each—-hitting them in nuns, unless the acute
pain of some sullertr further along caused him to cry out,
when he would he iuuuedialtdy attended to.
1 he pioneer parties ot our men were picking up the
w ounded and bringing them in from every part of the as
cent to the height. From the side towards the river,
w here a storming party ot Gen. Twiggs’s division made
the charge, most of our men suffered, and ninny ti the
( m my, also, for they made a desperate stand; hut when
they gave way, and started in confusion down the hill,
\\ns the time they most suffered many of them receiving
the halls of our men in their hacks.
I lie t barge on ( erro Gordo was one of those cuul y<*t
< etcrmmrd ones or characteristic of the American »l
, r- I‘rom the time that our troops left the hill ncu
tluit promine nt height, the fire was incessant, ami tl.rv
had ‘' fight their way toothy foot, till they gained tki
