Oregon question: Perhaps the Courier can inform

GENERAL TAYLOR.
We understand that in consequence Of the news
recently received from Gen. Taylor, Gen. Worth
has Withdrawn his resignation and requested per-
mission to Join the army in Texas Immediately.
The Secretary of War having complied with the
request Of the gallant officer we learn that he IS
now en- rout. for the army, He left Washington on
Monday for the camp. On Saturday evening, as soon
as the southern mail had arrived with the intelligence
which il brought us of the late accounts from the
camp, he wrote the following letter:

mcnt received from the headquarters of the army

such would be the case from the other side, would

When wrote to Major Munroe the other day,
General Ampudia had Just reached Matamoras
with a small reinforcement Of cavalry, assumed
command, and at once ordered all Americans in the
city TO leave for Victoria, one hundred and fifty
miles in the interior, in twenty-our hours; and the
next day, the 18th, notified me to leave for the east
hank of the Nueces, also IN tweny-four hours. In
case of my not doing so, war would be the result.

GENERAL WORTH.

The "New Orleans Courier regrets the retire
ment Of General Worth from the army. 1t says
that "his resignation not rendered until all pros
pect Of an immediate conflict with the Me1icans
had passed After 1t was rendered, he remained for
some days in camp as private individual nor did
he leave 30 long there was any probability that
his services in any contingency, could be rendered
available. General Worth led the advance Of the
army across from Corpus Christi to Matamoras,
and hoised, with his own hand, the American flag
upon the banks of the Rio Grande, within three
hundred and fifty yards Of the Mexican batteries
twas the flag of his own regiment--the 9th infan-
try which he had brought with him from Florida,
and was the first American ensign hoisted by the
army west Of the Nueces; and strange to say, it is
the only one with the army on the banks Of the
Rio Grsnde del Norte."
The general has favored us with the following
correspondence, which passed upon leaving the
camp. We give il at once TO our readers:
