FROM THE CAMP AT MONTEREY
Last evening the War Department received de-
spatches from General Taylor. Ihey were VIII
len m The Sin lIih 18th, and 18th October But
the detailed official letters on The operations be-
lore Monterey did mol accompany them much
DELAY having occurred in making out complete
rerurn, from The various subordinate comman-
ders of the army. The dispatches which were
received last evening are brief and comparatively
unimporant in their character.
In his letter of The 9TH OF October, Gen. Taylor
states that he had mustered out OF service The en-
lire force OF mounted Texas VOLUNTEERS One
company Of Texas foot volunteers, which has
rendered excellent service in the campaign, was
then OIL the march 10 CamaISo, there 10 be mus
tered oct Of service.
The General states, that small foIce Is to be
stationed al Laredo on the east banF Of the Rlo
Grande Tor The purpose OF protecting mat frontier
al country from Indian depfedalions, ana cna-
bling The Government of Texas 10 extend rs Ilfls-
dc,on with more facility to The river. With the
ADVICE Of Governor Henderson, he has auho-
rizrd Genera Lamar, ex-President OF Texas, to
raise mounted company Of eighty men for this
service for twelve months. As very small
force is now in service from the Stale OF Texas,
he trusts that this step will be approved by the
department
The second infantry. with some OF the artillery
companies left in The rear, and an additional vo-
lunleet force, has been ordered hrward 10 Monte
rev, together with heavy batiey train.
No credible intelligence has been received from
the interior at the date Of this letter. General
Ampudia, al the last advices, was at SalIillo,
probably with the whole or crater part Of his
army. but subsequent accouns, in private let
,ers report that Ampudia had relrealed from
Sallllo and would make San Luis de Polosi
his rallying point. He was expected TO make
stand there, and perhaps 10 be !pined BY Santa
Anna, in case Gen. Taylor shoud extend his adj
vance in that direction.
The General states, that ne hal been unable as
YET TO prepare his detailed Official report OF the
operations before Monterey-,hc last report from
his subordinate commanders ha-ing been al that
momen, received. Our loss in killed, wounded.
and missing, will vary very lite from 5OO-4O0
OF which was sustained in the aIack on the low
ef parl OF the city on the 2lst.
Lieut.. DilwoIlh, Isl Infantry had died Of the
wounds received on The 9th nj.
In his last letter, Gen. Taybr deeply regrets
the necessity OF reporting the death u the brave
Robert II. Graham, Isl Lieut. OF 4h Infantry,
who died, on The previous nigh, Of The wounds
which he had received in The engagement OF the
Dist Seplember- Union Of Hat'esddy night.

he was frequently near General Butler during
this action, until he received his wound-saw
much OF what passed on that occasion but saw

have been in circulation respecting any differ

STILL LATER!
PICilUNE OFFICE. J
I.Ip nIs.r q II


The brig Ellen and Clara arrived this
morning sfrom Brazos Santiago, having
sailed on the 29lh ult.-one day later than
the schooner Augusta. There had been
no fah, between Gen Taylor and The Mex.
icans.
Captain Walker, a gallant Texan vol.
unteer, and captain IN the service, had been
driven into the pos, al Point Isabel By the
McNcans. With his small command he
had sailed forth and encountered the main
body of the Mexicans-nor less than 1900
strong. Most Of his men being raw re.
cruts, refused to stand by him and made
their escape Twelve men, however, re-
NAMED firm, and with this little handful,
Walker kept the Mexicans in check for
half an hour. By This time, six of his men
had fallen by his side, when his horse was
shot under him, and he with his surviving
mon effected their escape and reached the
post nj Point Isabel in safety. Above thir.
~ MeScans were killed in this engage.
mcrt.
This engagement occurred on the 2sth.
Captain Walker got into the post about 5
O'Clock in the afternoon OF that dav. His
original force, known as Texas Rangers
amounted to about IS men.
The mex, day Capt, Walker volunteered
with four men to carry an express through
to Sen. Taylor. The attempt was thought
almost fool hardy, but he persisted The
result was not known when the Ellen and
Clara left.
The MeXicans pursued Capt. Walker in
his retreat TIL they came within range Of
the guns Of the post, when they in turn re.
treated. The pos, is very strongly defen.
del--ihanks TO the exerions of Majors
Monroe and Saunders. With 500 men to
defend the post, i, IS believed il can be made
good against 5000 Mexcans.
There are now about 5000 Neyicans on
the American side of The Rio Grande-one
half above and one half below Gen, Tay.
lor's camp.
The greatest apprehension now felt for
the American position is, that the MeXcans
may erect Publications which will com.
mand BRACES Santiago: The natural for.
nation Of the ground is most favorable for
such u purpose. The men would be effec.
tuaIlv projected from any naval force by
natural enbankment of sand, and the posi-.
ton could only be carried by actual storm
of the works. These works would perfect.
~ command all vessels entering the Brazos
Santiago as they have to follow the channel
within few feet only Of the position which
wonld be occupied by the enemy's guns.
The schooner Aurora left Brazos Santa.
90 the evening ofthe 2sth utimo, with de.
spatches for this port, but it is feared she
has been lost in violent gale, with oil hands
ON hoard
We are indebted for the above particu.
lars, SO hurriedly thrown tero,her, to Dr..
y. r. Briggs, a surgeon in the army; who
came passenger on the Ellen and Clara.
A gentleman, passenger in the Ellen &
Clara informs us that Gen, Taylor on the
Goth had only six days provisions. The
Mexicnus chased Capt. Walker and three
men within mile Of Point Isabel.
The probabilities are that Point Isabel
has fallen into the euemy's hands, Major
Monroe, has distinguished himself by his
prompt manner in making such doIences
as we're in his power.
