CAPTAIN Thornton informs US that Il is
now very sicklv at Matamoras. which
place he left somewhere about the oath
of the last month. At the time of his
leaving there were 700 Americans, about
three-iourths volunteers, sick OF dysen-
terry, accompanied with intestinal ulcera-
ton and typhoid fever. The average
number of deaths was five day. II is
TO be expected, however, that the acces-
sion of cold weather will much abate the
violence OF the disease.
Capt. II. further informs US that an or
der had been issued by Gen. Taylor to
Gen. Patterson at Cagnargo, to send the
Alabama and Georgia regiments of yoluu-
teers 10 Monterey. They were to be
commanded by Gen. Pillow.
The following is the location of the
American forces at the different points on

mouth of the Rio Grande.
Two Regiments at Mexican fort on
the River, ten miles from It's mouth.
One Regiment of Ohio Volunteers TN
der the command Of Col. Curtis, and four
companies of Artillery (regulars) at Ma
tamoras. The volunteers are encamped
or the north edge of the town; two COM
panies of Artillery under Captain Lowe.
are stationed in Fort Brown; one COM
pany in Fort Paredes; and one in the

The whole of the troops at Camargo
are under The command OF Col. Clarke,
U. s. 4.
One company Of Artillery, (regulars)
and one company of Kentucky volun-
teers encamped at Reynosa.
One company of Artillery under Capt.

GENTLEMEN,-I wrote youa few days
since from the Camp at Monterey, since
when | have been despatched to this
place on public business. As | return
tomorrow, have only time TO say one
word:
The entire loss in our Battalion bal
timore,) is s killed. and. as am informed,
l6 wounded-all slightly butone. have
seen none either of the killed or wound
ed, and therefore cannot give names.
Col. Watson was killed in the impru-
dent charge ordered by Gen. Butler
He was at the head of the Battalion and
had ordered us to go into the charge with
three cheers. lie received ball in tine
breast while in the act of cheering and
fell instantly. tried 10 get to him, but
was borne Oh in the rush. The charge
was Intellectual. At this moment General
Taylor rode mp in great anger and or
dered us 10 retire. Old Rough came up
under the most tremendous fire. Ii was
here his horse was shot. II is said there
were angry words passed between HIM
and Butler.
Capt. Stewart now took command, and
said. '.Boys, your Colonel is killed, don't
run, show these ID red skins that al
though you are ordered to retire, you in
tend to WALK" With this, he shook his fist
at them and ID them pretty considcra-
bic. Our entire loss will not be much
short Of 800 to 900 killed and wounded
the enemy the same. Ampudia has
given up the main fort as per articles of
capitulation and the stars and stripes were
floating over it when | left.
He asked an interview With General Il.
to take place the day | left | did not learn
the answer.
Mr. Giles made us a speech when at
the Marine Barracks in Washington
ask him il he is satisfied with us.
There is no doubt now but that Ampu-
Gia will be reinforced in about one month
by 1900 men. They viii be under

Mcssrs. Edi.ors:-Last night we had
an alarm, and Matamoras was in a ''hub-
bub," with all the American population
under arms. il was currently reported
that Monterey had been re-taken, and the
American army put to the sword, and that
The Mexican troops known TO be at San
Fernando were to make an attempt TO
take Matalnoras. II was quite an excl
ting time throughout the night, and still
this morning the absence of news from
above tends to keep up the excitement,
rendered little painful by another report.
that the wounded at Monterey, on their
way to Canargo, have been massacred.
do not believe it, although / place no
confidence whatever in Mexican fidelity.
J..
The American Flag, published at Ma
tamoras, gives the following additional
particulars of the capture of Monterey.
The steamer Mercer, arrived last eve
ming from Camargo. and brought down as
passenger Maj. Coffee, who gives us fur
ther intelligence Of the taking of Monte
rev.
Maj. C. reports the loss on the part Of
the Mexcans to have been much greater
than was first stated. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that 1900 would not cover their
loss in killed and wounded. On the part
of the Americans, 600 was the full exten.
Of the loss.
The valor displayed by our whole ar
my is unparalleled III history. Individual
acts of heroism were performed which
will render the actors immortal.
Gen. Worth has covered himself with
glory. His tactics, as displayed in the
capture of of the most important forts,
will vie in hrilliancy of execution with
those of Wellington or Ney.
When the flag of truce was received,
and the capitulatIon agreed to, the whole
army was disappointed. 1t was only
then that they were beginning to "tell''
upon the Mexicans. Previous TO this,
they had been fighting them protected by
their brcastworks, and at every disadvan-
tage. Now they had got amongst them
and were giving them dose which was
operating effcctually.
