SsR; Observing in the papers many attempts tc
explain the meaning or derivation of Seualvo, OF
Cerralyo, the name of one Of the towns through
which our army passed on It's way from Canargc
TO Monterey, think it may be worth while to state
that the place was 80 called in honor Of Don Rod
rigo Pacheco osorio, Marquis de Cerralyo, who
governed Mexico yieeroy, from 1924 TO 1855
About that period the Spanish settlements were
made in New Leon. Monterey was founded few
par de Zuniga Aeeyedo, Count de Monterey, who
was viceroy from 1895 10 1908. Many other towns
in that part Of Mexico were, in like mannsr, named
afsr the yieeroys; such as Csdareyta, Linsres
Cruillas, Guemes, Horcasitas, Casaiuerte, Fnen'
clara, Cerda, Revilla, &c, some Of which will, nc
doubt in time be found at the heads Of dispatches
and letters from our gallant army, X. G.

The IMMUNITY AND IMMUNITY OF BANKERs.--The
Cleveland Plaindeaer, speaking Of the Oakland
bank bubble, which has burst, and defrauded the
people Of the fruits Of their labor, says that the bank
had in circulation when it burscd, 1000, and had
in possession assets $40 900 of Truesdsil's cheosi
Trucsdail had literally Quilted the bank, by thrustng
in his checks and drawing out the money, or rather
the notes of the bank. He had been building saw
mills, dealing heavily in lumber, building propel.
ers, &c. With bank at his command, no u,tin-
eorporaisd individual could compete with him in any
business in which he was pleased to embark. So it
was, il adds, with the Smiths. "They could build
steamboats,, buy produce and drive every prudent
man aoay from his legitimate trade by an unlimited
use Of means Of their own creation" The same
game which has been played with the shin-plasters
OF the Oakland ''bank, is now being actively push.
ed by the consprators who have got up the Plain
field and Lehigh bubbles--which, like the Oakland
and Hagerstown frauds, will soon explode like the
boiler OF steam engine, burning and scadng all
who trust the rotten concerns to the amount Of a
single dollar The capital Of the two yet unbu-
ried, like that Of the two which have "bursted''
within week past, is wholly fictitious and there
is no more security for dollar Of their issues than

LATER FROM THE ARMY.

LATER FROM THE ARMY.
BY the arrival of the United States steamer Nep.
tune last evening, from Galveston, we have received
an extra Of the Galveston News, Of the 10th inst
containing intelligence from the army, received by
the schooner Blanche E. Sayre from Brazos ST. Ja
Co. Captain Hill, the United States quartermasel
at Brazos st. Jsgo, received dispatches from Gen
Taylor on Wednesday last, which Captain Wet
more, of the Blanche E. Sayre, heard read, and
communicated from recollection to the editor of the
News. In the information thus communicated, we
ind nothing in relation to the seige of Monterey in
addition to what has been already published here
except that it is stated that the Mexicans lost in
Killed and wounded, twenty-one hundred, and that
four hundred were taken prisoners during the com.
bat. The American loss is said to have been, in
killed and wounded, five hundred, in which nearly
all the accounts seem agree. OF this number tw O.
thirds were killed. We have already expressed on,
uDbelief in report that the Mexcans had los
$500, and this last report considering the great ad
vantages under which they fought, taxes creduty
to the utmost .H .a.t
The city was in possession of our army when tn,
bearer of dispatches left, the enemy having evacu
ated it. ~mM.
The report that the Mexicans had taken a train O
wagons on the road from Carnargo to Monterey, il
contradicted. ''
The Picayune adds to the above the following par
ticulars: +
From Texas there is but little news. The bril-
Empire arrived at Galveston on the 7th instant from
New York, in twenty-five days. The captain re
ported having passed close to vessel bottom up
wards in the gulf stream nearly in the latitude o
Cape Hettcras. She appeared to have been ne wi,
coppered, had very fat bottom, and was of abon
2O0 tons burden We read in the News Of the Oh
instant as follows:
"The editor Of the Texas Democrat saws tina
General Wool's advance division, under CoIone
barney, would leave San Antonio on the 9th ult
The route will be by the Preside, from which plac
the passes of the mountains are distant not NOR
than forty miles, which can be defended by few
resolsie men against great odds. The editor of tn
Democrat says many suppose resistance will b
made; but he does not know where the Mexican
can raise troops to give battle anywhere on the rout
to chihuahua He, however, admits that II is prob
lematical whether the necessary provisions and for
age can be procured after crossing the Rio Grande
The editor is himself at San Antonio, and saws ths
there are actually many complaints Of irregularit
In giving and executing orders, &C."
Such are the reports Of the Texan papers. w
received no papers by the Neptune, and copy whs
we see in the News.
