BRIGADIER-GENERAL SHIELDS.
BRIGADIER-GENERAL JAMES SHIELDS, though appointed to the army from Illinois, is a native of Ireland. He marched with the Central Division, under General Wool, but left on its arrival at Mon- clova, thus losing an opportunity to participate in the battle of Buena Vista. He was at the siege of Vera Cruz, and in the battle of Sierra Gordo received a musket-ball through the lungs. His recovery from this wound seems almost miraculous.
The services he performed on the 19th ...and 20th of August, to gether with his admirable deception of the enemy during their retreat from Contreros, we give in his own words : " Directing my march upon the village near Contreros, the troops had to pass over ground covered with rocks and crags, and rilled with chasms, which rendered the road almost impassable. A deep rugged ravine, along the bed of which rolled a rapid stream, was passed, after dark, with great difficulty and exertion ; and to rest the wearied troops after crossing, I directed them to lie upon their arms until midnight.
