KANSAS CITY, May 19. – The Santa Fe mail dates of the 3d have arrived.
The Texans while retreating met a body of 500 of their own men under Col. Steele at Adobe Walbut and the whole force continued their retreat.
The First regiment Colorado Volunteers with the regulars, are at Fort Craig, under command of Col. Paul.
Gen. Canby and Governor Connelly are at Santa Fe.
Owing to the scarcity of provisions, large quantities of which were destroyed, to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy, our troops have been placed on less than half rations, being limited to eight ounces per day.
One hundred and twenty Texan prisoners were passed on the road to Ft. Learned.
