ed last evening from Galveston, which port
she left on the 9th ult. From gentlemen who
came on the Palmetto, we learn that the ac-
counts by the McKim left matters at Monter-
ey aud all along the line, precisely i'll the sit
uation they were at the last advces, except
that some of the volunteers ordered from the
lower Rio Grando, had arrived at Camargo.

at San Luis Potosi with force variousy esti-
mated at from $4,000 TO $4,000 men, and that
he was on his way 70 Saltilo Our inform
ant however, states that there was nothing

There had been affrays between the cit-
zens of Monterey and Texas Rangers, which
resulted, first, In the assassination ola Texan
Volunteer, and then, by way of revenge, in
