Our ARMY. The news from our army pub
lshed yesterday, was not 80 satisfactory as that
before received, and renders the desire more
intense to have further information. 1t seems
that the account of our victory was greatly ex-
aggerated, and that the troops left in the in
trcnchments opposite Matamoras, by General
Taylor, although they fought bravely and skill
fully, did not succeed in doing the damage to
the town of Matamoras which was stated. In
deed, if the Mexicans have the number of men
that has been published, Orom ten to twenty
thousand which we do not credit, the army
under Gen. Taylor and the troops left by him
in the fortress, are both in rather critical posi-
tons. We have accounts that Gen. Taylor
had commenced his return from Point Isabel
10 MS camp; and, as the distance is only about
twenty miles, the hope is, that he has
succeeded in reuniting his army. 1t is true
that report states, that large body of Mexi-
cans was prepared to dispute his march; but
another report says, that the Mexican General,
with the main body of his army, had recrossed
the Rio Grande-and this we consider to be
the most probable. From the result of the en-
gagement with the force at Matamoras it is ev-
ident, that, if General Taylor should succeed
in returning to his camp, he will be able to de-
tend himself until assistance shall have arrived.
In the present situation of our army every
nerve should be strained to send forward rein
forcements as rapidly as possbe-not for the
safety of General Taylor's force alone, but to
bring the war to a speedy close. We are con-
vinced that it will be only necessary to muster
such force as will be able to carry the war
into Mexico, to induce the authorities of that
country to propose cessation of hostilities and
an amicabe settlement. 1t would be most
surprising if such a nation as the United States
should permit so feeble country as Mexico to
hold her at bay for any length Of time. We
must have no guerrilla warfare-no repetition
of the Florida campaigns-but strike at once
and powerfully. All efforts should be directed
to this one great object; and the government
should receive the cheerful aid of every man in
the community that the American name may
be respected by all nations.

MATAMoRAs. Matamoras is situated imme-
diately upon the banks of the Rio Grande
River, and surrounded by fresh water ponds,
all being upon the south, SO to 40 miles from
the Gulfof Mexico, in lat. 27 deg.sIt is hand
some village-all the buildings are of brick
built by American architects, and much resem-
bles our Southern towns. 1t is also much es-
teemed for its salubrity. Since the revolutions
of '35 all the merchants have left, and Mata-
moras has become mere barracks for soldiers.
The town is about the size of Wilmington,
Del.

EXTENSIVE PREPARATION FOR WAR.-.4rmS
for the Gulf Defsnces. On Saturday night,
and during the entire day of Sunday, says the
Pittsburg Chronicle, large number of wagons
were employed in conveying arms and ammu-
milton of various kinds from the Arsenal to the
river, where they are being shipped on board
the steamers Talsman and Hatchee Eagle, and
directed to Forts Monroe, st. Philip, and other
defences on the Gulf. Hundreds of boxes of
rifles and muskets, together with immense
quantities of mounted artillery, &C., have been
ordered by Government from the Arsenal at
Pttsburg to our Southwestern frontier, We
understand further that the utmost activity at
present prevails at the Arsenal in order to fur
nish the requisite amount Immediately. The
workmen are employed day and night in cast
ing balls, preparing cartridges, andmanufactur-
ing arms of various kinds.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. Thomas Hague
the Astrologer, is about to visit Washing.
ton City, where he proposes to answer salts
factorily, or at least truly. all enquirers, (who
pay him one dollar,) who put to him the ques-
ton, eff go to war, shall be shotW He
consults 'sun, moon and stars" to deduce
from their aspects the destiny of man. Here
as fine chance for those who have a pendant
for war to back out in time with whole skins
But we suspect that many will be found who
had rather trust their own agility than MIR.
Hague's prediction. He has issued card in
which he says:-"W Winfield Scott will never
die on the battlefield; nor would Commodore
Stuart on the rolling seas; neither would K.
Nj. Johnson, should he venture once more
George Cadwallader may venture out freely;
so Gen. Patterson, as we'll as Col. james Page.
Such persons as have an anxious desire to a
venge their countrys honor, may write the
astrologer, at Washington, after Monday, May
Is, and they will be correctly instructed as to
the strength and dignity of Mars at their birth
or nativity. In all cases one dollar enclosed,
and postage paid, will receive immediate ans
wer"
The astrologer should visit the Mexican
camp, where he would have more customers,
and might make fortune-but he will not be
likely to pocket much money from Americans
who may be prompted by patriotism to volun-
teer their services TO their country.

MEXICAN DECLARATION OF WAR. 1t was
doubted by members of Congress and others,
whether the Mexican government had autho-
rzed hostilites to be commenced against the
United States-and it was, therefore supposed,
that the acts Of the Mexican General might be
dsavowed-but the Union of Tuesday night
announces the receipt of a copy, in Spanish,
of the Procla nation issued by Paredes, dated
from the "National Palace of Mexico, April
%, 1885," in which he announces hostilities
against this country, and states, that he has
given orders 10 the General-in-chief of the d.
vision on the Northern frontier to make war
on the American army. Very well: this SET
ties an important point, and places us on the
defensive, the very position which we ought to
occupy. And now, the pronunciamento hav-
ing been issued on both sides, hard knocks
nust be exchanged; and at this game we trust
that Paroles and his army will find that Anne
rican soldiers are not Indifferent players--and
it will surprise US if the Mexcans be not soon
compelled to cry out "hold, enough"

CROPS IN WASHINGTON COUNTY. The
Boonsboro' Odd Fellow states that the recent
heavy falls of rain have done great damage to
the crops in that county. Fields of corn lay
ing low or somewhat siding have been literal
ly washed away. The corn has not been only
washed out, but the fields torn up awfully. In
a number of instances it swept so much of the
ploughed ground away that it was necessary be-
fore re-planting to plough it again. Ground that
lays low ii is feared will not be dry enough to
plant for some weeks yet. The grain of course
sustained some injury by being washed also.

RY. The extraordinary success attending the of
this medicine in diseases of the lungs, and the many
singular cures it has effected, having naturally at
traced the attention of many physicians as well as
the whole fraternity of quacks various conf lures
and surmses have arisen respecting its compositions;
physicians have supposed it contains iodine, 9th
er ignorant pretenders say II must contain mercury,
and TO some such substance they each attribute its
singular efficacy. AS such opinions altogether
erroneous, and calculated to prejudice many persons
"e'''''0' PLEDGE OUR HONOR
That it contains nothing of this kind anything the
least injurious; on the contrary, it is composed of the
most simple substances the principal of which are
the extracts of tar and wild cherry bark, and the
whole secret of its efficacy consists in the mode by
which they are prepared.
