The steamship Telegraph arrived at New
Orleans on the 18th inst. with advices from
Camargo to the 9TH, Matamoras to the 10th
and Galveston to the 18th inst. The news is
highly interesting. We copy from the Delta
On the 9th inst, Gen. Taylor crossed the
San Juan, and on the It'll took up the line OF
march for Seralvo, where Gen. Worth, with
his command, has halted. Hays Regiment
was to have left China for the same destination
intending to reach there simultaneously with
Gen, Taylor. Gen. Taylor, in his march, is
prepared forany emergency-ethera an advance
or a retreat He permitted no soldier or off
Ger to take more baggage with him than he can
conveniently carry on his back. number Of
steamers had reached Matamoras with the ex-
ira baggage, and the Quartet of the Zauadores
was converted into depot for it. All the
supplies for the Advancing Army, so far, have
been sent ON by pack mules and the General
expects to have 80 days provisions for $4,000
men at Seralvo when he reaches it. The ge-
neral impression is that he will there make a
halt, and not advance further till he has adv-
ces from Washington. Notwithstanding the
reports IF the advance Of Mexican force, be-
tween San Luis Potosi and Saullo, the Gene

The troops now on the road between Camargo
and Monterey number near IL 900: none were

had the effect of reducing considerably tho Vo-
lunteer Regiments few of them exceeded 500
strong-many Of them numbered even less

from Mi. ssslppi, one from Kentucky, ore from
Ohio, one from Texas, HAYS, the Baltimore
battalion, part of the Texan infantry, reor-
ganized, and McCuoch's and Gllespe's Ran

The Telegraph had on board, at the time Of
her departure from the Bruzos, over 800 sick
and discharged soldiers She landed at l4aca-
ba a company of Germans disbanded from the
| TeXan{ Infantry, and also company at Gal
weston from the same command; and brought
up to this place over 200, most Of whom have
been Frustrated by disease.
On the evening of the 18th, soldier. froR
Nashville, Tenn, named James Hoffman
jumped overheard and was drowned; and on
other by the name Of Benjamin HaItwell die,
few hours after.
! The brig EInpreSdT5O arrived at Labacca baI
on the 10th, having experienced a heavy gale
IN which she was forced to throw overheard he
deck load of mules, numbering IS. The brIg
Henry arrived the day after-encountered the
, same gale, and had to throw overheard q
mules.
, In the same gale the schr. Edward Tillotson
bound to this port from BRACES st. Jago, witt
r 6s discharged volunteers, was wrecked at tht
mouth Of the Sabine, but all hands we're saved
During the passage and previous to the wreck
six soldiers died of fever.
There were near 600 sick volunteers in thu
} hospitals at Camargo, and they were dying
, very fast. So many were sick that it required
near a whole regiment to attend to them

had to call for the Alabamians to attend TN
