A letter from General Twiggs to Major Howard,
of Columbus, Georgia, published in the Columbus
Times, dated at Matamoras, July 9th, conveys
some interesting information:
"The troops are moving up the river to Camar-
60, which is ninety miles above this, and one hun
dred and twenty above Point label. As soon as
we nll get up there and supplies, we shall make
forward movement to Monterey, at the foot Of the
mountains, one hundred and eighty miles from Ca
margo. II Is my opinion that the Mexicans will
not again fight, but they may proong the war by
Keeping out Of our way--whch | think they will
do, and we cannot well follow them for want of
transportation. We have eleven steamboats, on the
Rio Grande and are forcing supplies of every kind
up the river.
"fou can have no idea what wretched popula-
ton there arc IN Mexico-our Creek Indians nre in
hnltely superior to them. The best reliable news
from Monterey is that there were about 500 men
there at work, for,ifying the town. lf was in
command, IL they would agree to GO into fortified
pisces would build them; we could then know
where to find them. Whenever they meet us you
may be sure Of one thing, and that is that we are
victorious"

THE RECENT STATE .EG 5sT is' gsi0r

The whig papers, ever foremost TO catch at straws
are in great EMULATION that the western and other
States have exhibited an increase of msjorities in
their favor; but fthey were not as ever, devoid OF
oandor and honesty, they would state the cause
which is this the number Of poled are greatly
reduced from former elections, and 900 out OF OO0
absentees are from the democratic party, who are
now gallantly eongregaed in Mexico in the service
Of their country. The only answer which can be
raised to his is, that large number Of wing volun-
teers went forward To thisl answer, is il likely
that men opposed to the war with Mexico would be
anxious to carry, by their arms, that war to sue
cessful termination
When these hardy sons of freedom return to
their homes, the coming political contests will de.
monstrate that whg victories will become like whig
principles, rooted from the SOIL which thiscasualty
has permitted 1t to moisten with IFS poisonous
venom. TRUTH

paying these volunteers, given after your powers
were enlarged by Congress had not reached the
paymsster AT New Orleans before any OF the yoiun-
tesrs returned TO that place for discharge These
instructions were detained some days for reports
from the accounting officers Of the deductions TO be
made on account Of advances made by the state and
were finally sent without them on the 5th instant,
(August.p
Il will therefore be seen that the first and second
allegations referred to in this article fully refuted
ny the above extracts.
10 respect to the third allegation, we can positive
ly assert that il is wholly untrue. The Secretary OF
War has never given any such orders as are al
legged, and the two additional regiments will receive
the same pay and allowances as other regiments enl-
braeed In the rsquiston of General Taylor.
In respect to the fourth and last allegation, of "the
clothing furnished the volunteers was miserably
bad and charged double its fair price," the fault is
with the State authorities, by whom the volunteers
were thus furnished, and not with the War Depart
ment. The allowance Of clothing TO each man is fixed
by law in dollars and cents Where the State author
tiles provide the volunteers with clothing in kind,
and the cost Of that clothing is refunded to the State
il needs no argument to prove that the amount thus
refunded must be charged agsns. tho men and de-
Quoted from their clothing pay, in proportion to the
amount which each has received, they having credit
for the full amount authorized by law in lieu Of
clothing.
From this statement Of facts il is difficult to per-
eeiye what more, or better, could have been done
for the volunteers in relation To their pay and allow
ances or what foundation there be for imputing
blame to the War Department

A FRAcAs AT CALLAo.--A correspondent of the
Journal Of Commerce, who dates on board the Uni
ted States fgate Congress, at Calao, May 8, gives
the following account Of a fracas which recently oc
Cured between the crew of an American merchant
man and the Peruvians;
"0ne Of the boats crew, il appears, had been
struck by midshipman in the Peruvian navy.
This was resented on the spot by the American
sailors. The American captain getting wind Of the
fracas, FASTENED to the spot, and rushing between
the belligerens, ordered his Grew into their boat
But at this moment an armed force captured the
Americans, with the captain at their head, and
lodged them in prison. These being the facts in the
case, Commodore Stockton went Immediately to the
governor ofthe port Of Calao and demanded the re-
lease of the American captain from prison, stating,
at the same time, that he should be held amenabIe
to the laws Of Peru for any offence he may have
committed. The promptiiude and hrmness with
which this demand WAS made, and the ability 10 en-
force il through the presence Of our ffgaie had the
desired effect The American captain was released;
and when the case was examined by the proper au-
thorities, he was acquitted Of all blsme.n

LETTER FROM GEN. HAMER.

In The "Ceorgetown (Ohlo) Standard" Of the 9Th
we lind the following interesting letter from General
| Thomas l.. Hamer, under date of Maiamoras, July
49, 1876, addressed to the editor OF the Standard:
DEAR SIR: have been here forthe last two dsya
Our regiment is still at Brszos, but viii move up on
the Rio GmBde in few days. The health OF the
army is generally good. About the last of this
week we suppose General Taylor will go to Camar-
80, with portion Of the troops now at this place,
part of our army being already there without oopo-
sition. No fight is expected until we reach Mon
erey or Saltillo. At Of those points the Mex.
cans will probably make stand and again get
soundy whipped.
This climate is different from what most of US
expected 1t is very little warmer than Genrge-
town. To-day | am dressed in woolen clothes.
with flannel next the skin, and am not uncomfort-
able; but we have had rain for three DAYS past
Previous TO these rains It was very warm; and
wooen would have been too heavy for the wealth
er; we change according to the temperature.
'There are now something like Is 900 men in our
neighborhood, including regulars and volunteers.
AS fast as boats to take US up the river and wagons
and mules to take our baggage into the interior, can
be obtained, we shall proceed into Mexico The
further we progress into the Mexican domnions,
the more pleasant and healthy the country will be
found -.
"The 3D. regiment Of volunteers was at New Or
leans when we left, but is probably at Brszos SAM
tiago by this time. The ID regiment will be on in
a few days. ~. 49,"
"rhis town Is poor, mean-ooking place, con-
sisting OF number Of brick houses, many of
which are matched with straw and the rest mere
novels. There are perhaps 5000 inhabitants.
Most OF those have seen look like lndans-a few
having some negro blood in them Occasionally
there is Spanish cross with the Indian blood
General Taylor is in fine health and spirits. All
he wants is means to transport his armies, NUM-
tons Of war, and baggage; and he is ready and
anxious to push on his columns. The means are
arriving daily. Your friend, TT

INTERESTING LETTER HE AsATIC CHOLERA
ON BOARD THE UNITED STATES SHIP CoLuMBus--
The New Orleans Commercial Times has received
the following letter:
UNITED STATES SHIP COLUMBUS,
Near Macao, April 10, 1876.
On the l4th ult,, just we were leaving Manila,
your letter, papers, &c, came to hand We had
run of ten days to Manila; and passed three or
four days shore very pleasantly, visiting all the
places of note in the old city, including the grand c
gar factory which, in point of size and number en-
ploYed tn rein would embrace all the power of
Lowell, Ten thousand girls are omployed--all In
di ms of the sountry, or Maays, as they are called
with skins two shades darker than our Indians.
The roads in the vicinity are delightful, and the
conveyances good. The general health of the resi-
dents is good; but strangers must be careful until
they become acclimated. We left a week earlier
than was expected. After lying some three or four
miles off the city, we got the Asiatc cholera which
carried off rapidly thirteen Of our crew. We had
aome thirty or forty cases, which cast gloom over
the whole ship; but thank God, for the past ten
days not case has occurred, and the sick list is
fast mendng. 1t was all confined to the crew,
which was probably owing to their careless diet.
