n men were taken prisoners. This loss was the most serious that the enemy had met with in the whole of their campaign, as all their ammunition, baggage, and provisions — of which they were already short — were destroyed, and it was accomplished without the loss of a single Union man. The fight in the caton continued until late in the afternoon, when Colonel Slough moved back to Koslowski's Ranch. This engagement is known in Union reports as Apache caton, and at the South as the battle of Glorietta. The Union loss was I officer and 28 men killed, 2 officers and 40 men wounded, and 15 prisoners; the Confederate, 36 killed, 60 wounded, and 17 prisoners. Colonel Scurry returned to Santa Fe in a completely demoralized condition, while Colonel Slough, having accomplished all that was desired, returned to Fort Union. On April 1st Colonel Canby, who still remained at Fort Craig, left that post with a force consisting of 860 regulars and 350 volunteers, and arrived at or near Albuquerque

forward into line. For this, of course, Canby was not responsible. His plan of pivoting on his left and doubling up the enemy's left flank so as to sweep him out of his natural intrenchment was an admirable one. After the reverse at Valverde nothing remained for Canby but to strive for a junction with the troops at Fort Union. In this he was thwarted for a time by the fact that Colonel John P. Slough, against his instructions, brought on a decisive engagement with the enemy at Cañon Glorietta on the 28th of March. Slough's main force was driven from the field, and the defeat would have been a disastrous one had not the flanking party, under Major Chivington, of the 1st Colorado Volunteers, and Captain W. H. Lewis, 5th U. S. Infantry, succeeded in destroying the Texan train. The rumor is said to have spread among the Texans that they were being attacked in rear by Canby's column. This caused a panic among part of their force, and prevented an effective pursuit of Slough's def

f the Territory. They did so, as they anticipated, without further opposition from the force they had so signally beaten. Leaving their wounded at Socorro, 30 miles on the way, they advanced to Albuquerque, 50 miles further, which fell without resistance, and where their scanty stock of provisions was considerably replenished. At Cubero, 60 miles westward, they obtained more provisions and some ammunition.

The battle of Glorietta. [From the Houston (Texas) TelegraphMay 5.] Our gallant Bill Scurry, with his "ragged Texans," has gained another victory over the Federals in New Mexico. The importance of this victory will be understood when the strategy that led to it is explained. Glorietta is the name of a canon about is old Fort Union road. Fort Union lies a little north of the St. Louis and Santa Fe road, and is about 70 miles from Santa Fe. From the east of the mountain there are tw150 Texans at Santa Fe. Gen. Sibley at once sent Major Shiro, shire forward to reinforce him, with orders to hold Canon Glorietta at all hazard. He also sent Col. Scurry to Galisteo, to guard the other pass, with orders to repair to Pyrones support points, the and an army of scouts, and is determined to cut his enemy up in detail. Having routed the force at Canon Glorietta, on its way to reinforce force Canby at Fort Craig, he has set the forces to watching for Canby. It was Canby's pl
