from CamaVgo on Thursday, for the follow
inc information Gen. Worth, immediates
" upon his arrival there commenced maxi
ing preparations for receiving ard locating
the main body Of the army as fast as they
should arrive. All the Houses unoccupied
by families were taken possession OF, to be
used as military storehouseS. Very few
buildings suited TO such purposes were TO
be found in the place, the overflow Of the
river having left scarcely one large building
standing. More than one third Of the LuiId
ings in the towr were entirely washed away.
In some ! { the streets the water is said 10
have been from eight 10 ten feet deep. rhe
whole town was inundated and every house
received more or less injury. Very few Of
the inhabi ants left the town on the approach
Of tie United States troops, and between
them and the inhabitants much better feels
ing exist than was eViDced in MatamOros.
The population Of Camargo have always
been fIiendty disposed towards Americans,
and have permitted them into the town and
travel to and from Corpus Chrsti, at thier
pleasure, before and since the commences
ment Of hostilitics. A new town IS about
being laid off on the east side Of the Rio
GraDde, opposite Cama5go, and the beauty
Of the prospect is that the site Of the pro-
posed town is owned by young Amer can,

with Mexican lady Of CamargO, a large
sIacL>Of laRd~ffontiRg on the river, which
from its location, being atthe head Of navi-

healthy throughout the summer, when per

From the New Orleans Delta.
Latest from the BraZOs.

AT 9 o'clock on Thursday night, the
steamship New York, capt. Wright, arrived
from the Brazos. From gentleman oftlis
city, who came passangeFon board Of her,
we learn that she had on board some officers
of the United States Army, some of the
Louisiana Volunteers, and Division Of the
St. Louis Legion. Things in general pres
ent about the same features as they did at
The time Of our previous adVices. On the
5,h inst, Gen. Taylor moved on with his
Staff and the head, quarters Of the Army to
Camargo.
Capt. Walker (whoso counterfeit presents
ment is now in the Parish Prison in this
city, is lying dangerously i'll at Malamoros.
Sickness among the volunteers is increasing.
In conversation which our informant
had with Col. Twiggs, he THE Colone) re-
marked that the last shot In the Mexican
,Oar had been fred. This is more evidence
indirect it is true, that peace has already
been conquered. Be that as it may, Gen.
Taylor has more volunteers under his com
mand now than he we'll knows the DISPOSE
lion he should rake Of them.

The CoTToN CRoP Mobile Regis
of the 10Th inst, contains the following
information in regard TO the prospects of the
Cotton crop:
From the interior Of this State. as well
as from the whole cotton region Of the South,
our information continues of the same un-
favorable character as noticed from time to
time during the past four or five week.
The heavy rains which visited all the plant
ing section. have, as was apprehended, Gauss
ed the cotton plant to grow too rapidly, and
run 10 weed This, it is we'll known, is
preiudicial 10 good yield, and prevents the
bOlls maturing with that rapiditV necessary
for an average crop. TO this general CONS
plant there are, in different locations, a few
exceptions, but they are too few and too
small TO change our views of the prospect
of the coming crop. II should be remarked
however, that the plant generally looks we'll.
and that If il we're a couple Of weeks in
advance OF its present condition, and the
remainder Of the season propitious. the
yield would be an average, If not a large
one. Last year, between the 25th and 3Oth
of July, tour bales Of new cotton were re-.
ceived. the FIRST on the 25th. and up 10 the
6th of August, thirteen arrived. This sea
son, at last accounts. the cotton had last
commenced opening, not enough TO make il
an object to begin picking. This is con-
elusive proof Of the backwardness of the
crop, compared with the last year, and I'M
less frost is late the yield cannot be any
thing like an a Verage one.

VETO Ct qHE RIVER AND HARpoR BILL.
The President has vetoed this bill, which
was Of SO much Importance to the commeFce
of the South West. The grounds upon
which the President BASES his veto is, the
unconstitutionality Of some of the improve
ments contained in the bill. Holding, as
we do, the opinion. that government pos.
sesses the constitutional right to construct
works Of internal impIOvemeut-to remove
distinctions in water courses and 10 render
them uavig1ble-we do not deem it neces~
saIy TO review the grounds upon which the
President has vetoed this bill.
The Administration have carried out their
favorite measures, the reduction Of the
Tariff, the Sub. Treasury, &c, and the veto
Of the River and tIarbor bill. The verdict
which the people will render, al the elec-
ton in le4e, will stamp these measures with
their reprObation.

The TRUE CAUSE DIscOvERED.-We see
BY the New York Courier & Enquirer; that
the New Hampshire LOCOfOcOs. after SEEK
ing all other sources Of consolation for theil
recent defeat. and Offering all other excuses,
have finally bit upon one which they seem
10 chuckie over as something tOlerobly SUI,
ficisnt for their purposes. It is owing to
the Clergy The ministers Of religion are
the untoward instrumentalities that effected
their overthrow. The New Hamp, hire Pat.
riot is clearly of opinion that the clergy did
all the mischief. There is something in the
inculcatiOns Of Christianity, sort of moral
atmosphere around its ministers, which
would seem to be incompatible with such
locofocOism as has heretofore 6Ourished in
New Hampshire.

Departure of Gen. Taylor Yesterday
morning early, odd Rough and Ready left
Matamoros for CamargO in the steamer
Whitpville, accompanied, we believe, by
about one halt Of the Texan regiment OF
infantry. ndfew regulars. There was NO
announcement Of his departure, no firing OF
guns, nothing to indicate that so c0nspicu-
Gus parsonage as the commander of the
American forces, was about to leave place
he had taken, to assume the indi Vidaal diT4
ectiou Of his forces at anoher point. He
left whilst half the city was wrapped in
slumber, and ere the sluggard had quilted
his couch, was many miles upon bis journey
This is Characteristic of the braAe old yete-
ran, for he would rather face the enemy, dOu>
Bile in numbers, than hear tie booming OF
the cannon and the shout Of men paying
homage to his we'll deserved fame. If we
understand Gen. Taylor rightly, he is man
who would travel twenty miles out of the
way rather than encounters host of friends
and admirers who had assembled to honor
him by a.pubIic Demonstration.
Gen. Taylor, since the occupation OF this
city by the Americans, has created many
warm and ardent friends. and his departure
will be much Eegretted-We do not mean
10 an official capacity, for. as we said before
CD. Clarke will doubtless do all that Taylor
would have done-but he has endeared
hi mseif 10 the people BY his many acts Of
kindness, and first Impressions are hard to
