Extracts from despatch from General Taylor dated
MatanlOras, May II, 1886.
"Our future movements must depend, in a great
degree, on the extent TO which the Rio Grande is
naygable for steamboats,, and fear that my expee-
tations in this particular will not be realized.
Though, at times, navigable as high as Camargo,
or even Mier, it is doubtful whether boat can now
be pushed higher than Reinosa. Indeed the Ne
va which is in the river, and accompanied the ex-
pedton under General Smith, has MOI yet reached
this place though hourly expected.
shall loose no time in ascertaning the practicable
ty Of the river for steamboats,, and shall occupy Rel
nosa, and such other points boat may be able To
reach.
"All the cavalry Irregular and irregular) of the
army, under command of Lieut. Col Garland, is in
pursuit Of the rereatng army, TO harass It's rear and
capture prisoners and baggage. We have no au-
thentlc intelligence from the lieutenant colonel since
his departure. Deserters are, however, coming in
from the Mexicans,
Lieut.. Col. Wilson's battalion, LIST infantry, with
some 200 volunteers, was at Banta on the l7th, and
has since been reinforced, by Gen. Smith, with
about 100 Louisiana volunteers This column is Or
dered to move up the right bank Of the river, and |
look hourly for Its arrival.
"A large amount of public stores, chiefly ord
nance, has been found concealed in this town. We
are gradually recovering il from the places where 1t
was hidden Two fed-pleces, several hundred
muskets, and 200 shells among the articles re-
covered"

Extract Of a letter TO gentleman in Washington
from an officer Of the army, dated
"MATAMoRAs, MEXICO, May 90, 1896
"On the last battlefield | wrote to you, (10th
instant since which we crossed the Rio Grande,
took Matamoras without firing shot, and are
quietly enjoying respite, encamped around the
city.
'Our occupation of this place was not unattended
with some few circumstances to mar triumph
Lieut.. Geo. Stevens, (whom you saw in Washing
TONI whilst swimming the river at the head of his
platoon, was drowned, as also soldier of his
company, his horse swimming badly; and in his
effort to free himself from his horse, was injured in
some manner, so that he could not sustain himself
above water sufficiently long for assistance to reach
him.
"The Mexican army had evacuated Maamoras
the day prior to our crossing. The Dragons and
rangers followed on their trail, and captured some
25 of their rear guard; and from present appearan-
ces, we will not be likely to be visited by them for
some time, or at least I'LL the Mexican government
make large appropriations for the prose- ution OF
the war; for we captured what no doubt, had been
preparing since the war with Texas Major Ring
gold, Major Brown, and some few Of our wounded,
have paid their last debt to their country. The ba-
lance of the wounded will no doubt recover; but
few Of whom, however, will ever be nj for duty;
and to pass through our camp now, you would not
imagine that the troops you look upon have gone
through the fatigue and hardship which they
have. We are enjoying the best the market az
fords the hest mutton ever saw, corn, beans, red
peppers and in fact, all kinds Of vegetables in
season here; you no doubt smile at peppers being
in the bill offare-sog great is the use-snd so
well are they prepared here that they are not only
used as sauce, but in almost every dish eaten
upon fitters, and our men have become so partial
to il, that they frequently find fault with the cooks
for not using it more freely.
1--WE have had a great deal Of amusement for one
or two days back collecting the captured property;
and the army has received rich treat in an sbund-
ance OF old regalia segars, which were taken from
the public stores ofthe Mexicans The citizens en-
Joy their full privileges, and our general permits the
authorities to keep their own guard or armed police
as they have some prisoners Criminal, | suppose

toned above, was never asked for by me, and that
in making the call of the 26th Of April | well knew
that if the Mexicans fought US at all, 1t would be

1t is extremely doubtful whether the foot regi-

must request that immediate measures be taken TO
