BY LAST NIGHTS SOUTHERN MAIL.
The Southern mail of last evening brings
nothing later from the Army.
The Picayune of the 9th inst concludes Q
long article on Mexican affairs, with the fol-
lowing:
1t is fully understood that the Mexicans have
been sustained in their hostility to the United
States by foreigners. So after all it is not
quite so magnanimous to be so cool and COM
Portable under insult as might be supposed,
even if our soil were not invaded. But wo
will give translation of Proclamation which
Ampudla has found the means of distributing
in the American camp, by way of letting our
readers into the secret service of the war now
wagng:
The Commander-in- Chief of the Mexican army TO
the English and Irish under The orders of the
american General Taylor:
KNOW YE: That the Government of the U.
States is committing repeated acts ofbarbarous
aggression against the magnanimous Mexican
Nation; that the Government which exists UNI
der "the flag of the stars' is unworthy of the
designation of Christian. Recollect that you
were born in Great Britain; that the American
Government looks with GOODNESS upon the pow
erful flag of st. George, and is provoking to a
rupture the warlike people to whom it belongs
President Polk boldly manifesting a desire to
take possession of Oregon, as he has already
done of Texas. Now, then, come with all con-
fidence to the Mexican ranks, and guarantee
to you, upon my honor, good treatment, and
that all your expenses shall be defrayed until
your arrival in the beautiful village of Mexico,
Germans, French, Poles, and individuals Of
other nations! Separate yourselves from the
Yankees, and do not contribute TO defend a rob-
berry and usurpaton which, be assured the civ
ilized nations of Europe look upon with the ut
most indignation. Come, therefore and array
yourselves under the tri-colored flag, in the con-
fidence that the God of arms protects it, and
that it may protect you equally with the Eng
ish. PEDRO De AMpUDIA.
Francisco R. MORENO,
Adjt. of the Commander Chief.
Head Quarters, upon the Road to Matamoras,
April ?, 1876.
The following paragraphs are copied from
our New Orleans exchanges of the 5th inst:
THE VoLUNTEERs.-Col. T. G. Hunt has
already formed one of his companies-the first,
we believe, which has been regularly inspected
and declared in marching order. Three COM
panies of volunteers from the Third Munich
paity have desired to be enrolled as volunteers
"for Texas" and sent their names in for that
purpose. Several other companies are form
ing, but as yet no official returns have been
made.
MOVEMENTS OF TRooPs. Orders were des-
patched on Sunday by Maj. Gen. Games, d.
recting that the two companies of Artillery at
Pensacola, and two companies of the same de-
scription of troops stationed at Forts Pike and
Wood, near this city, proceed forthwith to the
scene OF operations near Matamoras.
The RECRUITING SERVICE. Yesterday
morning there were but few names enrolled on
the recruiting list, but shortly after noon
large number of persons presented themselves
as recruits, and the different rendezvous pre-
sented an animated appearance. We may
safely say there are now upwards of 900 to
1000 men enrolled, and should the work be as
brisk and satisfactory to-day, there will be no
necessity for drafting.
MEETING AT THE COMMERCIAL EXCHANGE
numerous meeting was held at Bravos Com
mercial Exchange last evening, Col. William
Christy in the chair. The chairman having
briefly alluded to the obj cts Of the meeting,
