LATER FROM THE ARMY.

The steamship Alabama, Capt. Windle, arrived
this morning from Brasos Santiago, whence she
sailed on the 24th instant.
Capt. Windle reports that Gen. Worth, with two
thousand men, had left Camargo and proceeded
seyenty-fiye miles on his route towards Monterey.
This report is no doubt premature. We have late
dates from Camargo, which represent that active
preparations were going on to move at early day.
On this subject we refer to the letters below. We
have others yet later, but they contain nothing TO
confirm the report that Gen. Worth hadmoved from
Camargo. The report probably grew out OF the
advance OF Capt Duncan's party, mentioned IN the
correspondence
letter dated the 5th instant, from San Fernan-
do, the arrival there of the Texan regi-
ment of mounted men three days previously, in fine
health and spirits.
