leans, we have dates fom Brazos to the I'd
inst. We copy from the Picayune and Delta:
The main army is at Camargo, but there are
troops at prominent points all along the Rio
Grandc from the mouth up. Considerable sick
ness prevails, and deaths are daily occurring
amongst them.
The Delta has been permitted to pcrusc
! letter from Gen. Taylor, dated Camargo 9Th
ult. In it the general states that he had sent
OIL three hundred mules, two hundred wagons
and one hundred and sixty thousand ratlons;
that he would move on the LIST. to the 9Th inst.
himself, to Monterey; that if the enemy did
not give him fight there, he would push on TO
Saltlo, and there arrange his plans for iu-
ture and more forward movement.
MIR. Kendall writes to the Picayune, on the
22d alt, from Camargo, that the most anthem
tic intelligence from Monterey represented that
| Meiia had 1000 regulars aud 5000 raw re-
! cruits, all without money or shoes, and i'll pro-
vided in every respect. AT Caidereyte, thirty
miles this side of Monterey, there was force
! of between 100 and 900 cavalry about the
| l5th Of August, better situated than the troops
at Monterey, but still i'll provided. Canales
and other officers were said to be recruiting
men by every means in their power--coaxing
some and forcing others, They "made a haul"
at Guerrero of over eighty Of these Involuntary
volunteers, and started with them for Monte
rey; thirty left the first night, and made good
| their escape.
In the same letter Mr.. X. announces that
news had been received that Gen. Worth had
reached point one third Of the way TO Serial
vo the morning of the 2lst-all well.
By this arrival we have accounts of the blow
ing up of the steamboat Enterprise, by which
five persons were instantly killed and several
wounded. The casualty occurred little after
daylight on the 2 LIST ult., about forty-five miles
above Reynosa, when the engine had Just made
the third revolution. The first four rims of the
boilers were blown literally into fragments, and
how so many persons escaped instant death is
truly wonder. There were over | SO persons
on board, and many in the immediate vicinity
of and directly over the boilers, who were
scarcely injured.
Those killed, were Enoch Tucker, and A.
Boswell, of Tenn, Mr.. Soaps, Texas, Thomas
Gau!neY, N. Y, second cook, and person UNI
known. J. G. Howard, sutler, of Baltimore,
and Lit. bearing, OF the Louisville Legion,
with number of others, belonging to the
} troops from the west, we c dangerously wound

The regulars who are to operate against
Montery, or rather that portion of the army on
the Rio Grande, have been reorganized as fol-
lows:
GEN. TwIG's COMMAND First Division. Sd
brigade composed Of Sd and 4th infantry, COM
manded by Col. Garland; 18th brigade composed
of the lst and End infantry, under Col. Riley,
regular cavalry; and Capt. Ridgley's battery
of light artillery.
GEN. WoRTH's CoMMAND-SecOnd DiriS-
sion. LIST brigade, composed of the artillery
battalion, acting as infantry, and the Sth in
fantry; end brigade, composed of the 9Th and
eth infantry; Duncan's Battery, and Captain
Blanchard's company Of Louisiana volunteers
are attached to this division.
Gen. Twigss arrived at Camargo on the
2lst ult. with the I'd Dragons and the Light
Artillery batteries under Capts. Taylor and
Ridgley, MAJ. Munroe and Capt. May came
with him.
A letter i'll the Picayane dated Camargo,
Aug 81, says;
Tho LIST and Sd regiments of Ohio volun-
teers, six companies of the Louisville Legion,
and the Baltimore battalion, arrived here to.
day. They have been seven days only on the
march from Nlatamoras, and brought all the
men but two to Camargo. One of these died
from an injury in the thigh, and the other died
in commissions, soon after Wadng lagoon
f They suffered very much for want of water,
and, to make it harder, and more dangerous for
|, the men, their officers had the bad taste to
march them by day instead by night. This
!, proves that the Northern troops can stand the
climate of Mexico nearly as well as those from
the South.
A rumor says that Gen. Meja has abandon
ed Monterey with his troops. Another says
that Gen. Paroles has been conquered and ia
ken prisoner by some revolving General ofhis.
Among the rumors in circulation at Elata-
moras was one that Monterey had already fall
en- into the hands Of the Americans To Col.
Harvey rumor gave the performance Of this ex-
! plot. The american Flag" OF the 29th puts
} no faith in it, but rather incnes TO adopt the
! version of the story given by the MeXicanS.-
l They say that letters from Monterey assert that
r body Of Americans, who came down by the
J way of New Mexico, were joined near The Pre-
sidio by number of Texan adUenturerOS, and
9 the combined force had entered the town with
: cut any opposition.
The news of the revolution in the city OF
Mexico was received very promptly by the ar
e my, and accompanied by many rumors which
it is hardly worth while TO give Tampico is
, said to have followed the example of the capt.
u tai and declared for Santa Ana the day after
: the receipt of the news of the revolution. At
the moment it broke out in Mexico, Paroles
was sixty miles distant on his journey to Mon
:, terey.
