Parties of cavalry were sent out to oppose us. These were several times repulsed with considerable loss. WTiile we were engaged in reconnoitring and in watching the enemy from our position, Santa Anna made his appearance in our rear with a force of six or eight thousand men and a battery of artillery. The day was now drawing to a close. It was not known at this time that re-enforcements had been sent to us, across the " Pedrigal, " and we, as well may be imagined, felt anything but confidence i...n being able to maintain our position. Our brigade consisted of only about thirteen hundred men, and we were surrounded by thou- sands. The ground, however, was favorable to us. In retrac- ing our steps for a short distance to the little hamlet of Con- trarius, which in consequence of broken ground, trees, and orchards, was not visible from the position we occupied, we found that Smith's and Cadwallader's brigades and some other troops had come to our assistance. Darkness soon ended all operations for the day.
