CAMP OF THE U. STATES ARMY IN TEXAs.
LIST OF ALL THE OFFICERS.
We find in the New Orleans Tropic the fol-
lowing account of the Camp of the U. States
Army on the Rio Grande with the names of
all the officers The Tropic states that the
Fort with the batteries commanding Matano-
ras, is occupied by Major Ringgold's troop:
Gen. Taylor's camp extends about four miles
along the river bank-two miles above, and
two below Matamoros. The entrenchment to
erect it required twenty-three hundred men for
thirty days. 1t is made of sand, and covered
over with twigs woven together like basket
work, surrounded by very wide and deep
ditch. The walls of the magazine, in the in
terror of the fertilization, are formed of pork
barrels filled with sand, seven tier thick, four
tier high, covered over with timber, on which
sand is piled ten or twelve feet. Twelve heavy
pieces of ordnance are SO placed as to com
mand the town of Matamoras. Five hundred
men could defend the fertilization against any
force the Mexlcans could bring against it at
present.
