Price, of the Mississippi volunteers The lat

been murdered by the Mexicans. The Nep-

Bulletin and Bee:
From gentlemen who came on the Palmetto,
we learn that the accounts by the Mckrm left
matters at Monterey and all along the line,
precisely in the situation they were at the last
advces, except that some of the volunteers Or
dered from the lower RIO Grande, had arrived
at Camargo.
1t was rumored that Santa Anna had arrived
at San Luis Potosi with force variously est
mated at from 900 to 25 900 men, and that
he was on his way to Satillo. Our informant,
however, states that there was nothing positive
known at Monterey concerning the movements
of the Mexican army.
The RlcKim was to have left Galveston on
Wednesday. She has on board about 800 DIS
charged volunteers, among whom were the
chief part Of Capt Shver's company of Texas
and Mississippi volunteers.
Col. Bailey Peyton, Gen. A. S. johnson and
Mr. Kendall, of the Pcayune, are passengers
on her. The Florida has on board, l6O dis
charged volunteers.
We are happy to learn that the contempla-
ted duels betwceen Colonies Marshall and Pey-
ton, and Captains Musson and Shvers, had
been prevented by an honorable adjustment OF
the difficulties between the parties.
Great complaint is madeat Galveston Of the
rrRguarity of the mails between New Orleans
and that city. The papers are chiefly occu-
pied W it'll the canvass for members of Con-
gress.
There is little news from the army. Things
were in Stata quo at the last accounts. Gen
Taylor was in tranquil possession of Monterey
awaiting advices from the Government. OF
course nothing was known Of the determine
ton TO terminate the armistice, and the first
! information on the subject obtained by the of
fcers of the Army who came passengers in the
Palmetto.
The Delta has obtained the subjoined intel
lgence from some Of the officers who arrived
in the Neptune, and who left Monterey on the
| 18th ult:
There are various reports floating about the
camp at Monterey respecting the movements
! of the Mexican army, but nothing authentic or
definite.
The following is the disposition Of the army
at Monterey: Gen. Worth's division, with which
! is Blanchard's company of Louisiana Volun-
teers, attached to the It'll Regiment, garrison
the city. The LIST, Sd and 4th Regiments, ant
the brigade of Artillery, with Gen. Taylor
staff, are encamped about four miles north o
the city. The Kentucky, Tennessee anC
Georgia Volunteers are encamped mile still
further north of the city.
But few of the citizens remained in Monte
rev after its evacuation by the Mexicans, ant
but few of those who left have yet returned.
The prevalent opinion in camp was, tina
there would be no more fighting, for Ampudi;
actually had assured the deputaton who arrang
ed the terms of the armstice with him, tina
commissioners from the U. States to treat Of
peace was received by the Mexican government
They are, however, of this long before nov
disabused, for our Camargo correspondent say
that the bearer Of dispatches from Washington
to Gen. Taylor had passed that Post.
The number of our men killed and wounded
so far as ascertained, is sill. Many of thu
wounded, were dying. Wherever a bone wa
touched 1t was found difficult to effect recovo
