Death Of MAJ. Lear-Gen. Wool onslsiis

Death Of MAJ. Lear-Gen. Wool on his
ucg to Ctttuaaua- lEuting.
The steamship Massachusetts arrived
at New Orleans on the 10Th inst, from
Brazos Santiago, which place she left on
the 18th. Among her passengers was
Capt LAMoTTE, of the 1t Infantry, who
was severely wounded at Monterey, but
who, the Picayune says. was in fine spirits
and doing we'll.
Capt. Lamotte left Monterey on the Sd
inst, and our private advices come down
10 the I'd. The gallant Mai. LEAK. of
the I'd Infantry, has died of his wounds.
He was buried on the lst inst.
Gen. Wool has communicated with
Gen. Taylor ontwo occasions. 1t would
appear that the former has detached one
thousand men fromh his command to take
possession of Monclavo, and with the
other two thousand proceeded on his
march to chihuahua. Ii seemed to be
regretted that Gen. Taylor, from motives
perhaps of delicacy, refFaiDed from inter-
iering in suy way with Gen. Woel's
plans. 1t is conceded that the latter's
troops can be more servicable south of
chihuahua, which does not. require SO
large a force for its subsection.
We have no definite knowledge of Gen
Iaylor,s plans, but may state that the
prevailing impression among officers is.
that Ianpico IS to be the next point. The
Kentucky Cavalry, still near the mouth OF
the San Juan, were expecting daily TO re-
ceiye orders to march in that direction.
The Tennessee Cavalry arrived at Fort
Brown about the 9Th inst, and were also
expecting to leave Immediately Cor Tam.
P'co. Common reports still assigns Gen.
Patterson to this command.
From Monterey we learn from an au-
:hentic source, that nothing of public inter
est had transpired since our last dates.
There was a rumor on the I'd inst, among
the MexIcans; that one half the army at
San Lais Potosi. had declared in favor of
Santa Anna as Supreme Dictator. that the
other i'alf had declared against him. and
that both divisions had started for the city
OF Mexico. A postscript to the same letter
says in brief that Santa Anna is off for
Mexico and Gen. Valencia after him.
The existence ofsuch reports as to Santa
Anna s designs at so many different points,
would indicate that the movement ofGen.
Othon was more serious than the news.
papers of the city of Mexico represent il.
Fhey say positively that Gen. SaIas and
Santa Anna were again acting with per-
fect.accord.
Col McKee's regiment (the 2d) of
Kentucky Infantry had left Camargo for
Monterey, The last three companies set
ting out on the 4th inst. The Ohio regi.
ment of Infantry were preparing to follow.
There had been m1finy in the company
OF Capt Gutter in the Kentucky regiment,
and when our informant left Camareo.
ty,three ofthe privates were in irons,
and one ieutenant under arrest. II was
thought the lieutenant would he severely
dealt with for his part in the affair.

TERRIBLE DIsAsTER.-TheS st. Louis
ReUeilIe, of the 2sth ult., gives an account
.ofan affecting disaster which happened ON
the Mississippi on the 2lst. The steam
er Maria, while on her way Up the river.
when about six miles below Natehez,was
run into by the steamer Sultaad.. bound
down. aud loaded heavily with cotton
The Maria sunk instantly liz about twen-
~ feet water. The collision was awful,
tearing away the bow and guards, over
throwing the chimneys and knocking
down the boilers. Forty persons com.
posing the crew, and including two or
three deck passengers,were either scalded
or drowned. The chief clerk, and the
assistant engineer are among the missing.
II is stated that the Sulfaaa owes her
escape principally to the heaviness OF
her loading--still she did not escape
without being considerably damaged
twenty of the crew of the Maria were
landed at Natchez, nearly all of whom
1t is said must die, being scalded IN such
dreadful manner. There were twenty.
five cabin passengers, none of whom
were lost, but their fright, and peril in
escaping to the Sultana, must have been
great. The boat principally insured, SC
that the loss will not fall heavily upon its
owners. If this disaster has resulted iron
carlessness or any other cause, the nee
essary examination will doubtless expose
it, and bring the offenders to just punish
ment.
