Army decentralization. Twiggs, with the I'd dra-
goons, and the Flying Artillery batteries under
Rdgeley and Taylor, arrived at Camargo on the Dist
ult and 10 proceed Immediately towards Mon
terey The LIST and I'd regiments Of Ohio volunteers,
the Louisville Legion and the Baltimore regiment,
have also arrived at Camargo. In the march of the
volunteers from Matamoras, they only lost two men;
proving their stamina in the most satisfactory way,
the heat and privations to which they were exposed
being duly considered Gen. Taylor has signifed his
intention TO leave Camargo about the end of the first
week in September; he would assume personal direc.
ton of the whole advancing force to Seravo; thence
forward to head them until they meet the enemy.
There were various reports in circulation at Ca
ro latest dates about the position of things
at Monterey; some announcing that the Mexican
army had abandoned that city-others, that they had
strongly fortified it, and would certainly make stand
On the 9th ut, the u. s. steamer Rough and Ready
arrived at Camargo, from Point Isabel with stores,
etc. The Inspector General, Colonel Croghan, came
passenger in her, sire left for down the river the next

haps-in front Of that city.
Explosion Of tie Steamboat Enterprise.-We are
exceedingly PANEL at the intelligence received of this
catastrophe. On the 2lst ult., at daylight, while the

she had been mOored the bank for the night the
moment of starting the paddles having Just made three
revolutions the boilers burst with tremendous
plosion. The and passengers in all 100,
the havoc amongst whom was dreadful. The whole
of that portion Of the boat lying between the wheel
and chimneys blown into fragments. The hull
and parts towards the stern do not seem TO have suf
fered much; but the forward works and parts lying
contiguous to the boilers split into pieces There
were Is men lying asleep betW cen the chimneys, who
all more or less experienced the sad effects of the I'M
expected occurrence. Many shot into the air,
falling overheard and meyer more appearing; others
descended on the frecastlc, friphtfully INITIATED
The first four rims Of the boilers we told were
shattered to atoms, and the surprise is that greater
quantity of life not sacrificed. No satisfactory
account has been given of the of the disas
for it appears that the boilers had been cleaned out
the night previous. 1t conectured that the mud
valve had become foued, causing the boilers to leak
