FROM THE ARMY.

The Washington Union of the 18th instant
says:
{" The last dispatches from General Taylor
state, that the army will be on the advance
for Monterey by the 1st of September at the
latest =. Gen. Taylor, it is now I'M
derstood, has the means of transportation in
his hands-mules as well as wagons We
hope soon to hear of his rapid marches, and
his victorious progress.
Gone rumor has lately prevailed, for which
we learn there is no sort OF foundation. 1t
came in the shape of letter from Mattamoros,
about the 18th of August, and was published
few days ago in the Baltimore Sum- 1t
states that on the preceding night, 400 rancho
ros had broken into the town and created some
confusion; that it was the commencement of
the guerilla mole of warfare, &c. The whole
story was unfoun1el. 1t was an idle quiz
perpetrate1 upon the colonel of a volunteer
force, which betrayed him into some ridiculous
blum iers.
''The events and prospects on the coast OF
California are bright and cheering. There is
reason to believe that before this time the
whole of that coast has been occupied by our
squadron. Monterey is certainly taken, and
Guimas, and it is carta n that the Ierba Bue-
nd, on the bay OF San Francisco, was sum
monel by Captain Montgomery, AMI it is be
level to have been taken without resistance.
eve met at the War Department, this eye,
ming, with a captain in Col. Stevenson'sre-
glment. He informs us that the troops were
being paid off some months in vance, as they
were actually embarked, AMI that they would
certainly sail for the tactic in the course OF
this week"

ARMY MOVEMENTS.

Gen. Twiggs, with the I'd Dragons, and
the Flying Artillery batteries under Rldgeey
and Taylor, arrived at Camargo on the 2lst
ult., and were to proceed Immediately toward
Monterey. The LIST and ID regiments OF Ohio
volunteers, the Louisville Legion, and the Bal
tmore regiment, have also arrived at Camargo.
In the march of the volunteers from Matamo-
ras, they only lost two men, proving Their sta
nina in the most satisfactory way, the heat
and prvations to which they were exposed
being duly considered. Gen. Taylor has sig
nitied his intention to leave Camargo about the
end of the first week in September; he would
assume personal direction of the whole advan-
cling force at Seralvo; thenceforward to head
them until they met the enemy.
There were various reports in circulation at
Camargo, at latest dates, about the position OF
things at Monterey; some announcing that the
Mexican army had abandoned that city-oth-
ers, that they had strongly fortified it, and
would certainly make a stand. On the 9th
ult, the U. s. steamer Rough and Ready arri-
we'd at Camargo from Point Isabel, with stores,
&C. The Inspe:tor-General, Col. Groghan,
came passenger in her; she left for down the
river next day.
The volunteers will take up the line OF
march as speedily as practicable, for the goal
of all the hopes of the army, viz Monterey;
1t was confidently expected that there would
be fight-a field fight, perhaps-in front OF
that city.
ADVANCE ON MoNTEREY.-In Intelligence has
reached New c leans from Gen. Taylor, which
announces that 200 wagons, 5000 mules, and
$50 900 rations had been dispatched from Ca.
MARCO towards Monterey. The General says
if Monterey is not defended, he will forthwith
push on to Saltllo, thus advancing into the
very heart of the country.
