Editors of The Ioicauune Since the excite
ment and anxiety OF the army just previous TO the
battles ofthe 9Th and 9th, there has been no more
interesting period than The present in the ca %,
paign. Every report from The interior IS weisheu
and commented upon gravely. The extreme
heat of the weather, the arduous and important
duties that are marked out for Inc army, ana Tue

play, this campaigning in Mexico, as many ol
our Louisiana boys have already found ou.

fortunately for his plan, he soon found thai GER
tain Col. Hays was there. They have il here

The Texan infantry are 10 be disbanded to-day

state what have since heard from a gentleman

A man has arrived from Monterey, who states
that, from the number OF troops there, and the
feelings Of the inhabitants, il would be imprudent
Tor Gen. Taylor 10 move upon that place with
less than 10000 well disciplined men.
Savriego, who mentioned as having threaten

take all Matamoras, is noted robber. only
hope he may fall into the hands Of the Texans
The accommodating party which started from
here the other day, under Capt. Duncan, left Nc

party went on in the direction Of Jeralma.

two roads.
