LATER FROM THE ARMY.

Advices from New Orleans to the evening of the
18th have been received at Washington with letters
from Matamoros of July Sd and 9Th.
Gen. Taylor announced to two of the regiments
on the 4th he would have boats to transport them
Camargo, whence he would put them directly in mo-
ton for Monterey, and they got fight before the
summer closed it would not be his fault.
The papers OF Texas and Matamoros are full of de-
tails of the celebration of the 4th. The rains were
holding up. Some sickness prevailed, mostly bowel
complaints. The measles had appeared in Marks
regiment, and several men were down with the COM
plant.
Mr.. d. E. Gray had arrived in Reynosa from the
upper country, by way of Monterey, and reported
the Mexcans very apathetic in regard to the war.
Five hundred Mexican volunteers at Monclova had
refused to serve on hearing of Taylor's victories.
Some disafection among the Louisiana Volunteers
had appeared but it would be settled having been
ferred to Gen. Smith. The wounded and sick were
doing well at Fort Polk.-Iribune

these men have left comfortable homes, and have
come expecting to active service. Instead of that
they are scattered over the country, in different en-
encampments exposed to the heat of the in lat

PLAIN why this The great object seems tohaye
been to hasten men on here, without any particular
object. If it be for purposes of defence Gen. Tay-
lor has proved he did not want many to assist him
certainly more than he called for. If the object
be invasion the men come poorly provided. They

ions enough, easily obtained, but there is not SUI
Ecency of transportation for an army of five thous-
and men. Hsome attention had been paid to the ne
cessary means of transporting supplies for an army
it would have been much better than sending
of men to suffer in this climate. An army cannot
move without provisions, and we penetrate far in
to the country 1t will require great number of wag-
ons. There are about three hundred wagons and
teams here, but not drivers for them; when | say
here, mean with the army. We are told the gov
eminent has three hundred wagons, in about Phil
adelphia when they will be here one can can tell;
mules have to be purchased, and chance of getting
them, except from the Mexicans; they perfectly
wild, and must be tanned and taught to work; this
will take long time after the wagons arrive. The
Mexican officers are having the mules driven off as
fast as they into the INTERIOR and forbid any sales
to US; STILL good many are brought to Matamoros
and are purchased.
No one can tell when the army will make for
ward movement. My belief is it will be consider
able time and solely for the want of transportation.
In the mean time the volunteers are much exposed.
For two weeks or more it has rained almost every
day. and the appearances are strongly in favor of
continuance of it. When it does not rain the sun is
hot enough The tents furnished here are of an In
different kind, and there number of companies,
particularly among the Texans, that have at all.
Yet the men continue far tolcrably healthy. How
long it will last no one can tell, -

The CONSTITUTION, as revised by the
late Convention, is daily decreasing in pop
ularity--and we regard its rejection by an
overwhelming majority. as almost certain
We have recently been in the counties of
Randolph. Charlton, Livingston and Carroll,
and find the people decidedly averse to its
reception. The general complaint is, that
the delegates attended badly enough 10
wha, they were instructed to do, and in
addition 10 that, made innovations which
were uncaled for, and to adopt which
would be an unwise and suicidal course on
the part of the people.
The Constitution is just beginning to
attract st,ention--and enquiry is abroad as
10 its features. As soon as they are prop
erly understood, and the people clearly see
what their servants have done, and ash
them to receive, they and their work will
receive mortal blow.

NEW ORLEANS MARKET, April 4,h

As general remark, our market has exhibited
but moderate degree Of activity during the last
few days, though it will be seen that fair extent
of business has been done in Flour and Corn, ct
rather improving prices. Tobacco, also, continues
in good demand, and sugar and Molasses are In
fair request, but the cotton market moves heavily,
and as regards the various articles Of general msr.
chandize usually taken for the supply Of the int.
rior, they are extremely inanimate.
ToBAcco.-A very good enquiry still prevails in
the Tobacco market, and good lots, particularly Of
the light leafy qualities, are readily disposed Of
as soon as sampled and placed on sale, and at very
full prices, though in tho principal transactions
the rates paid are not made public. So far a. We

mostly made at gil, though occasional retail lots

cient to attract much attention from buyers, and
the high cost Of transportation still operates 10 the
disadvantage of this bulky commodity. The last
sales Of dew-rotted were at $40 &75 per ton.

"John c. Edwards, Governor Of the
State, has appointed John c. Edwards. Cit
izen, to carry out an act Of the last Legis-
lature, authorizing the Governor to employ
an agent to take up the ten per cent. bonds
of the State due in ls48, and execute ne W
bonds. The Governor printed the bonds
in his own office--appointed himself agent
and has gone east to transact the business,
and when it is done, Gov. Edwards will
give citizen Edwards requistion on the
State Treasurer for all necessary expenses
incurred.
This is a new move, and its propriety
may well be questioned. The Legislature
provided for the appointment of an agent,
and the Governor was to act as check
upon that agent--but he has taken the
whole matter upon himself in opposition
to the intention of the law, and against the
dictates Of propriety. We hope the in.
ierests Of the State will not suffer by this
move of the Governor.

Constitution. reminds us Of so many little boys

The above .jeu despri is from the "Paris

But. we merely desired to call the at

of our citizens who oppose the Constitu.
ton, to the contemptuous and insulting
manner in which they and their opinions
are treated. Old grey headed veterans,
who oppose the insertion of anti-republican
features into the fundamental law of the
land, are thus caricatured, because they
resist innovations which their revolutionary
sires taught them TO battle against.

are deeply interested, and its features
