ArrivaI OF the steamer N1clA11ms
LATEST FROM THE ARMY.

ing later from Monterey. Over two
hundred sick and discharged volunteers
arrived here on the McKim.
The Galveston had just arrived at the
Brazos when the McKim left, and the
Telegraph at Port Cavallo. For vessels
at Brazos, &C., see marine head.
A portion Of our correspondence from
Mr.. Kendall and Mr.. Halle reached us by
the McKim, but consisting ofletters older
than those we have already given.
The McKim was ordered by the quar-
termaster at Brazos Santiago 10 follow the
Texan coast closely and keep a lookout
for the steamer Neptune. She did so,
touching at Port CaVallo and Galveston
and making every inquiry. She could
hear nothing of her save from the pilots of
st JoSephs, who stated that they had pick
ed up on the 4th inst, on st. JoSeph's
Island, desk with "Neptune" marked on
the bottom. Great fears are entertained
for her safety.
The same pilots had picked up near the
same place a desk containing $500 in
Gold supposed to have belonged to the
steamship New York. Numerous bales
ano boxes had also been picked up there,
probably Belonging to the same vessel, and
a boat with six oars dashed in her was
found in the same vicinity.
It will be recollecteG that the James L.
Day reported the Neptune off the Brazos
on the seth ut., with her union down, IN
distress, it blowing very heavily at the
time. The steamer Monmouth put OF! 10
her assistance on the LIST inst, but il coli
tinued so rough that no aid couldbe rem
dered. The Monmouth sequested that a
line should be sent off from the Neptune,
by which the latter might be lowed in.
This plan failing another one was propoS-
cd to get the passengers off to the Mon
mouth; but the captain of-the Neptune
thought il safer TO put TO sea than TO hazard
the attempt. Since that nothing has been
heard of her.
Maj. Coffee, Paymaster of the Army,
Captain Dawson, of the U. S. Artillery,
and Cap Howard, of the Mississippi vol
unteers, came over OH the McKim.
The LIST Regiment of Indiana volunteers
has been ordered from the mouth of the
Rio Grande TO Monterey.
The reader will regret TO learn that the
wounds ofCoI. McCung, of the Missssip
D volunteers, proved mortal, according TO
he accounts at Mutamoros. There were
various rnmorS in Matamoros in regard TO
he exploits of Cannles in surprising and
wounded Americans on their
way to Camargo. We do not believe a
word Of them.
The news from Monterey is no later
han that Teceivec by the James l.. Day,
ust a week ago. The American Flag, /
published at Matamoras, received lis first
Jews Of the events at Monterey by the
the same boat which brought
capt. Eaton down the river and our own
express messengera Another boat subse-
luenlly arrived, By which the Flag recei-
,ed the annexed particulars-no later than
hose we have already given, nor have we
nv reason TO suppose them so accurate.
We copy them, however, because every
hing pertOiningto the events at Monterey

The part of the Americans, six hundred

Gen. Taylor previous TO the attack, is
said 10 have had no idea of the extent and
strength Of the Mexican notifications But
lhe vaIor Of his troops faltered at no oppo-
silion. Besides the soldiery, he had TO
fight the whole mass of the Mexican pop
nlation, who fired from the tops Of their
houses and did great execution. To parti-
rularize the Performance any one regi-
ment or command, wher0 ] did so well,
would be an injustice. All have gained
