There is no doubt that the misscalled " A.

From the Army.

Late New Orleans papers contain i'm.
POrtant aud exciting intelligence from the
Army. They publish 4 letter extracted
from the MatamOrGs Flag Of tho 18th inst,
dated CamargO, 9Th Sept. ls40, stating
abat Capt. Murray had arrived At that place
from Sefalvo, (Or more properly, says the
Picayune, CerrGlUO) and reported that on
the 4th inst. McCOllOugh's Rangers came
into Gen. WOrth's camp At Cerralvo, and
reported that they had discovered about 40
miles beyond there, a body Of Me1icans.-
On pursuing them they retreated to = lar.
ger force, consisting Of about 1000, Of
which they were the advance guard. 1t
was supposed to be their intention to attac K
Gen. Worth before he could be roiRsorced.--
Capt. Murray thought battle would be
fought on the eth at Cerralvo.
Gen. Taylor with a part OF his force was

ing TO the information received at that place,
the number Of Mexican soldiers in Monte.

on the march. Accounts differ as to the
number Of the enemy in the field. G. w.
Kendall Esq. in one Of bis letters to the
Picayune, written at CerralvO on tho 7th,
says: "There is a rumor here--nothing
but'a rumOr mind you--that Santa Anna is
advancing on MOntery with force Of 4O,-
600 men," We dot BIT whether Santa An.
M intends placing himself at the head Of
the Mexican force at all-the =" rumOr" we
suppose moreover greatly over estimates the
number on the march.
1t is stated that the MeXicauS have taken
up arms, en- nsGsse, to oppose the march Of

sonally, and the obligations we are proud TO
acknowledge, in common with our fellow
citizens, for your fundamentally in the ne
golatious now so happily closed.
You came among us stranger, charged
with mission, the result of which, Tor good
or evil, affected alike the honor, the inter
ests, and The destiny of our Stale You en-
tered upon the discharge of the arduous and
responsible duties committed to your care.
with an energy and zeal evncing Just ap-
probation Of the magnitude of the charge,
and at the same time with that spirit of CON
Citation and kindness which disarmed pref
udice and converted enemies into friends.
While with heartfelt satisfaction we con-
graduate you upon the auspicious termina-
lion Of your labors, alike honorable TO the
State, and, as we hope, satisfactory to our
creditors, we must be permitted 10 remark.
that no small share of our qualification at
this result arises from the reflection that it
vindicates the integrity and honor of Indiana,
and proves the sincerity off those declarations
so often promulgated TO the world, other ear

redeem herplighted faith, the moment she

Hon. DENNIS PENNINGTON and others:
Gentlemen-l have the honor TO acknowl-
edge the receipt your letter of the 10Th of
January, and whilst duly appreciate the
kind expressions it contains as TO the manner
in which have discharged my duty. in the
recent negotiation with the Legislature, for
the payment Of the State debt, | feel no less
indebted to you for the assurances which it
affords of your high personal regard. 1t is
true, as you state, that came among you
stranger, little known to the citizens of Indi-
anapolis, and less TO the members of the Leg
islaturc but should be wanting in gratitude
if | did nor before leaving the State, acknowl-
edge the kindness and attention have re-
ceived from both.
There are citizens of your State, some Of
whose names appear on the letter which has
drawn forth this response, and others whose
names are not there, for whom shall always
cherish the highest regard, and without whose
steadiast cooperation, | feel warranted in
| saying, the measure could not have succeed

arrival, fruilless one, and'so fankly advised

me to enter into them. alIude 10 then
merely with the view of remarking, that III,

overcame difficulties which seemed at frs
