To divert his attention, : as far as practicable, the First division, under Brigadier-, General Twiggs, and field division of volunteers, under' Major-General Butler, were displayed in front of the. Town, un...til dark. Arrangements were made at the same time to place a battery, during the night, at a suitable distance from the enemy's main work, the' citadel, — two twenty-four pounders and a ten inch' mortar, with a view to open a fire on the following day, when General Taylor proposed to make a diversion ill favor of General Worth's movement. The Fourth infantry covered this battery during the night. Gen- eral Worth had in the meantime reached and occupied, for the night, a defensive position just without range of a battery above the Bishop's Palace, having made a reconnoissance as far as the Saltillo road.
