LATER FROM THE ARMY

The schooner Mary Clare, Captain Griffin, has
just arrived from Brazos Santiago
The Mary Clare left the Brazos on the 29th ult
and reports that Captain Walker with seventy-hve
men of the Texan rangers, were nearly all killed
and taken prisoners on the 2Sth ult., about twenty
miles above Point Isabel, by a superior force OF
Mexican troops, amounting to about one thousand
FIVE hundred.
P. S. Since writing the above, we learn that Capt
Walker, with three men, succeeded IN reaching
Point Isabel, at O'Clock, p. m, on the 18th ut.,
and Immediately applied to Major Thomas for four
men, and announced his determination to proceed to
General Tayor's camp, or die in the attempt.
FELLow-CITIzENs: Here another Indictment to
arm and proceed to chastse the per6dlous Mexicans
who ravage our territory, and thus take the lives of
our brave men who have rallied on the frontier in
their country's service. To arms, then, without
delay Be prompt to avenge, and rally with ardor
to do gallant service for your country.

II O'Clock.
A gentleman, passenger in the Ellen and Clara,
informs us that General Taylor, on the 29th, had
only six days provisions. The Mexicans chased
Captain Walker and three men within a mile of
Point Isabel.
The probabilities are that Point Isabel has fallen
into the enemys hands Major Munroe has dis
tingushed himself by his prompt manner in making

TO THE AFFLICTED.

HOAD'S patent graduated eeclro-gavanic appa-
~ ratus, with patent insulated poles for medical
and other purposes. a.
The undersigned is prepared TO apply the above
admirable, aLpervading, pleasant safe, and potent
remedial agent, which has accomplished wonders,
where all other remedies have failed, in the whole
train of nervous and rheumatic complaints (too
numerous TO be here particularized) and in the
actual restoration Of sight, speech, and hearing,
where no destruction of the organ has taken place.
Most respectable proof from physicians and others
will be exhibited at his apartments, south side Penn
syvania avenue, sixth house East of the market,
and nearly opposite Browns Hotel, where the
splendid first size or largestapparatus will be kept
in readiness at any hour, day or night that may be
appointed; and the second size for use abroad
when required. lie has received due instructions
in their application from the inventor, for which he
was previously prepared by many years expert
ence in the use of electricity in another form.
As this is a subject to which justice cannot be
done in newspaper advertisement, communica
ton will shortly be made to the public in another
way, embracing opinions of eminent physicians Of
the apparatus, and selections from successfully
treated eases.
The undersigned, having twenty-five years ago
been in the practice in certain cases, of aiding the
operation of the electric fluid by relaxing the system
during its use in the vapor bath, this salutary prac
tice will be continued, the bath invented by him
being peculiarly adapted to such service.
