epeated on another front, but were repulsed. Presently the grass took fire, and the winds so far favored us as to sweep the smoke in the enemy's faces, and when it passed we found the Mexican line had been drawn back a little. May's squadron was sent there, and General Taylor advanced the right of his line, but night closed in before decisive work could be done. The armies were near enough during the night to hear the moans of the wounded. Major Ringgold was mortally wounded, also Captain John Page, of the Fourth Infantry, but less than fifty of our troops were lost. Early the next morning a few of the Mexican troops could be seen, but when the sun rose to light the field it was found vacant. A careful reconnoissance revealed that the enemy was in retreat, and the dragoons reported them in march towards our comrades at Fort Brown. General Taylor remained on the field a few hours to have the killed and wounded of both sides cared for, but sent the dragoons, light infantry

He assumed command and brought the ship to a home port, and was rewarded by Congress raising his rank. Captain Page was but 18 years old at that time, but even at this early age was noted for his valor and cool judgment. Jefferson Page passed through all grades and was commissioned a commander in 1855. In 1861, however, he left the Uess of Spinola, but on the death of the Count of Spinola, they removed to Rome, where the home of the venerable couple, Commodore and Mrs. Jefferson Page, became the Mecca of Americans who visited that city.

meeting of the stockholders of the Virginia Central Railroad. --The adjourned meeting of the stockholders of this road convened at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, at Metropolitan Hall — Jefferson Kinney, Esq. of Augusta, in the chair. Mr. John Page, on behalf of the Committee to examine Proxies, reported a quorum of stockholders present, and that the State was represented in the meeting by Joseph R. Anderson, of Richmond; Jno Hunter, of Louisa, and Jefferson Kinney, of Augusta, alternates, (to examine the Treasurer's books and condition of the road,) which was modified by an amendment of Mr. J. R. Anderson, to the effect that the Chairman be empowered to appoint the Standing Committees after the adjournment of the stockholders' meeting. The last suggestion was induced because of objection being raised to the reappointment of some few members of the old committees, who had never attended to the duties incumbent on them. On motion of Mr. John Page, the meeting adjourned.

The two Americans in front, as ascertained by following their trail, were both wounded, and their horses taking fright, ran down the precipitous bank, and kept along the ravine several hundred yards, when the horsemen halted, as is supposed, unable to ride further. The body of one, John Page, was found on this spot. The blankets, pistol and knife of his companion were also found, but he and his horse were both missing. Page's horse had been killed, and, as it appeared, by the missing man, in order to quench his thirst by a drink of the animal's blood. He had stayed with Page till the spark of life had fled, and then gone off in search of sustenance. It is not thought he was mortally wounded, as his activity was too great for one in the throes of death. He had ungirded the saddle from his horse in order to obtain his blankets, which he was packing in that manner, and it is supposed the animal took fright and r
