FoRT Smith, May 9TH, 1916.

Gentlemen:-In response to your letter, have
to inform YOU that the nominations of the conven.
lon are well received by all over here except by
the friends of Yell. Some Ashley men were op.
posed to the nominees at first, because they did
not like the manner in which Upper township
was represented, but since they have learned that
Mr.. Duval cast only one vote for this township,
and not four as first understood here, they have
yielded their adherence, although they do not
consider that Mr.. d. was authorized to cast any
vote for US, yet it was our own fault that our
township was not epresented-abund,nt notice
was given, and if we would no, attend, we have
no right to condemn those who did attend. As
they are oil good and true Ashley men they will
get my support, and believe all of the friends Of
Ashley will vote the tcke, in despite Of the at.
tempts 10 prejudice the licke, by Sam Edmundson
& Co.
P.S.-Oa dH:-You may look out for squalls
Sam will be a candidate for YclI against Ashley.
Yours, &c.,

FRox MArAMosAs-THE ARMY.

From the New Orleans Delta Of the 9th ul'''
we learn the following interesting items;
The schr. VIM. C. Preston, Capt. Taylor le''
Matamoras on the 81 inst. Capt. L. reports ina,
Gen. Ampudia arrived at Malamoras' al the heau
of 5000, troops, on The 2Sth ult., from Mon'eroy'
and that volunteers continued TO be orough' III
daily, in small numbers.
Gen Taylor was encamped opposite Ma'amo'
ras, and il is said has full possession OF tho Two
ferries on the west bank Of the river, running 10
lne city. ------.---....
The Mexican forces a. Matamoras number about
1000 men. Capt T. reports that /. was general.
is supposed by the Mexican officers that the dif.
fcuItes between the two countries had been ami
cably settled. They had not yet heard at Malano'
rus OF the departure of Mr.. SIidell; and, by the
arrival Monday night Of the U. 5. steamer 'Coi
Haruey," Capt. Wood, from the Brassos San Jago,
whence she sailed on the 10th inst, we received
late and interesting verbal news from that point.
We learn from passenger that Gen. AmPuda
arrived at Matamoras on the | lth inst with 1000
troops, 1000 cavalry and an equal number OF foot,
which increased the Mexican force to about 5O0O
men. Gen. Ampudia, Immediately after his ar.
rival, notified. Gen. Taylor that if he did not
abandon The position that he then occupied, he
should consider it as equivalent 10 declaration Of
| rar.
On the 18th, Gen. Ampudia fortified opposite
to Gen. Taylor position. Gen. Taylor also
rased breast works ON the bend Of the river so as
to command The river and the works raised by the
Mexlcans. So advantageousy was Gen. t. stu.
ated, tha, il was evident no possible force at the
command of the Mexican General could dislodge
| him and on the 18th Gen. Ampudia notified Gen.
Taylor that he would not act further until he re-.
ceived definite instructions from his Government.
1t is reported that Gen. Taylor, hearing tina.
there were two vessels off the mouth Of the Rio
Grande from this place. with provisions for the
Mexican army at Maramoras, despatched Lieut..
Rcushaw, of The U. 5. brig Lawrence, with the
revenue cutter ST. Anna to cut off all communca.
tion with that place.
The army was in good health and in fine spirits,
ardentIy wishing tor an opportunity 10 give the
Mexcans lesson.
The report in cirulation in The city during the
afternoon of Monday, of a declaration of war on
the part of Mexico, evidently grew out of Gen.
Ampuda's message to Gen. Taylor on the l2th-
his decision of the l3Ih not having been maze
public. After the Mexican Generals declaration,
Gen. Taylor was certainly justified in taking the
precaulion 10 cut off his supplies.
