Tina* under treatment, thanks to our very able muiiid

I regret having been ohltg« d « n the 20th to leave Maj. i
*ficu. Quitman, an able commander, w nh a part of his
•drvsfion— the fine 2d IN :.nsy Kama volunteers and the
veteran‘tMncli'oeiit ol t mted States marines—at our
imponani tiujurt., San Augustin. It was then; that I bad
•placed the sn«l wounded: the siege, supp y and l«ig
iirJiriH. if these 'had been lost, the army would
'hare b* en driven almost to despair ; and coasidti iug the
* unity 's very great ixcis* of number*, and tin* many
approaches to the dejsi .it might well have become, t'ii»
j basically, the post hunt r.
After to many victories we might, w tth hut little ad -
ditioiial loss have oecupie ) the capital the same evening.
Hut Afr. Trial, at uiyorlf, had been admonished by the .
f*t friend* *»f peace—intelligent neutrals and some A

—wot uttg him* tier the element! of peace .excite a spirit ot
VMMtmia l •desperation, and thus indefinitely pwtpouc (he
hyr \t aoosuR modal ion. Deeply impressed with this
da^ptK,snd rmnomtieririg our mnwto*, to conquer a peace, i
the army very cheerfully sacrificed to patriotism—to the
forest wish and want «do*r country—the rxhU that would
iavefdlowo-d an enkrsiieo—sword in hand—in to a great
Capital. W lllii.g to leave ho netkinjj to this republic—of

nui id leave for Hie present, this subject and to « if r
:» feu remark* open thraunv and the punt deed*. It is
still difficult to account lor the fact that we are here,
here in the great capital of Mexico—not theV^i.OO1) pa
per men in the I’nion, hut what is left of the |iHMM) real
men by whom the work of subjugation has been ac oin
plished. rriie whole seetos like a dream, even to tho<e
who have taken part t i ihe bard conflicts yet here in
Mexico we arc, and masters. After the succession of
battles, eacli one of w b elt max’ lie counted n forlorn hope
—after a sui'ci-Ksioit of victories, eacli one of which was
obtained from an immensely superior force—afier forint
liable works, each one ot whi-h seemed impregnable,
have lieen stormed and siicccMsftiliy carried—here, amid
the ' Halls "I lie Montezuma*.” the numerically iusig
niricani liand ol Anglo Saxons has found a partial rest
trmn its toils and its dangers, a breathing place after it*
innumerable trials and peril*. Not the chronicle of an
cient xva *, nor the prowess of modern achievement*, for
lichee a parallel u> the second Conquest ot Mexico, while
the lustre w Inch hung around ihe name of Cortez and
hm hardy adventurer*, burnished by the glow ing do
fccri pi ion of Preacuity becnim a dimmed by the deeds of
these latter days.
Von in ihe I*ni ter I States cannot be mad- to for I and
appreciate nil that stern uud unflinching courage has el
footed in the beaimf.il Valiev l Mexico since ot.r little ar
my first entered it—words are inadequate to give even
a taint picture of the bril lanl succession of events which
have ended in tin-subjection ol this proud capilal. t he
deetU of Curie*, brave and vigorous as they were, most
•mi ft* r by a coinpar s. n The hardy and adventurous
Spaniard, surrounded by his hosts of Tlaacalan and oili
er allies, brought agencies then deemed mi pern ilural to
the Work, had all the engine* and appliance* of modern
war at his dihpaol. uud fought against an enemy super
Rtitioit* and awe stricken, and provided only with the
ruder implements of battle, if rani that they were brave
—but their bravery was of a piece with that of the Hin
doo widow. who fearlessly and unresistingly chaunt* her
