The Mexicans were giving way all along the line, and many of them had, no doubt, left early.

I at last found a clear space separating two ponds.

There seemed to be a few men in front and I charged upon them with my company.
There was no resistance, and we captured a Mexican colonel, who had been wounded, and a few men.

Just as I was sending them to the rear with a guard of two or three men, a private came from the front bringing back one of our officers, who had been badly wounded in advance of where I was.

The ground had been charged over before.
