i NEW ORLEANS rRoric SEPTEMBER 10.
The steamer Telegraph left Brasos Santiago the 18th
and arrived here yesterday via Port Lavacca and Galveston
which last place she left the 18th The Telegraph brought
this city 365 sick and disabled volunteers and AS officers,
and landed Layacca ~ Texan gunner, and part Of
company, numbering 20 men, at Galveston
The schooner Edward Tiletson, bound to this port from
the Brasos with SO discharged soldiers, blown ashore
the Sabine Six had died previous to this disaster
On the evening of the 10th instant volunteer named Jas
Hoffman, from Nashville Tennessee, jumped overheard and
drowned and another died few hours afterwards, nam
ed Benz. Hartwe.
We learn from passenger direct from Camargo, which
place he left the 9TH, that express arrived there as h'
about to leave, bringing intelligence that Col Harvey
had been arrested charge of disobyng ORDERS wher
four days his march from San Antonio towards Monterey
Generals Taylor and Wool after him. and had him anC
his brought back San Antonio where they remain
under arrest
Gen Taylor crossed the San Juan the 9th, and took uI
the line of march the 18th for Seavo where the forces
under Gen. Worth had halted Hays regiment would leave
China and take up the line Of march for the place. SO
as to reach there about the same time with Gen. Taylor
In the advance of Gen. Tayor in the interior, be seemed
determined he prepared for any emergency, either ia adj
retreat for he would suffer either officers or men
take baggage than they could pack upon their backs
In consequence Of this number of steamers had reached Ma
amoros feghted down with 'extra baggage All the sup
plies far have been off by pack mules and the Gene
raj expects thirty days provisions for 1900 at
Seravo when he reaches it. where il generally believed he
will remain for length Of tire, and many think until
further advices from Washington.
Gen. Taylor believes notwithstanding the he has
ceved of the advance Of Mexican force between San Luis
Potos and SaIto that he can go Monterey, and
| to Saltillo, without meeting any opposition.
The troops the road between Camargo and Monte
rey win number IL O0O and suffered to go
who could stand long march and perfectly will
ling In consequence of this the volunteer regiments that
left much reduced very few Of them exceeding five hun
dred men, and less. The regiments are from Ten
nessee, from Mississippi from Kentucky, one from
Ohio, from TEXAS, (Hayss,) the Baltimore battalion,
part Of the Texan infantry, recognized and McCulough
and Giespie's Rangers.
There hundred sick volunteers the hospi-
tai at Camago and they dying very fast. SO many
sick that it required whole regiment to attend
them. Those whom the Tennessenns left behind seemed
be particularly unfortunate for they had to call the Aaba
mians attend the living bury the dead As fast
these get able leave the hospital they discharged
and sent home. In fact, Gen Taylor has disposition
discharge all volunteers who dscontented and wish
turn their homes Though the number of patients in the
hospital Matamoros larger than Camargo, the mora
y is greater in the latter pacenear three to Those
who unaccusomed Southern climate, when pros
a,od by the fever, seldom regain their former strength the
Rio Grande without change of atmosphere. They die of
quickly else become enfeebed that they unable hell
themselves person who has visited the hospitals the
different posts has said that oneha of the Northern and
Western volunteers who the Rio Grande are effective
men the 18th of October il is than he looks for.
Gen. Patterson has been left in command of all the coun-
try from Camargo mouth river and he has been
instructed by Gen Taylor order prohibiting the
of strangers into the river and Camargo This
order brought down Capt Ogden by the officers of the
Wheyie Therefore every gentleman who has already
established business in the country will find difficult
land tere-a least such is the opinion different in
depreciation Of the order however, may be given.
Gen. Butler the Taylor designed leaving in
and Of the lower country but Patterson did reach
MARCO as expected order of things chang
ed Gen p is represented being very much mortified
not being allowed to accompany the advance.
Ampuda has issued another extraordinary "procamd,"
warning the citizens pain Of DEATH barter with the
Americans and the Acade Of Camargo had also put forth
'scaado prohibiting the Mexicans from working on our
steamboats, Of the deck hands accordingly ceased their
labor but on ntimaon from of their employers that
the unctonary neck might be brought into proximity
with asso he reened and the rctunedo their iabos
The steamship Jas L. Day also arrived yesterday, having
left Port Lavacca the 9th We learn from Capt G. that
of thirty wagons left that place the 18th for San An
tonic. Col Humphrey Marshall had reached Lavacca A
regiment of mounted gunner under his command
Victoria We further that the briggs Empessaro and
Henry Caps Collins and Cole experienced very heavy
Their during their passage avacca having been obliged
throw overheard much Of their cargoes consisting mules
wagons, subsistence, &c. During the gale Capt Collins
considerably injured, but is fast recovering
