The Flag OF the l2h gives the most favorable
account of The good order which prevails IN MA
lamoras under The rule OF Col. Clarke. Inc
quie, of The city al light is almost solemn, says
the Flag, and there is none o thai fi"'ons u'ssi'
patton with which the town was formerly uis-
graced Lieut. Kane, Of The I'd oragoons, VINO IS
Stationed al Camargo is determined that there
shall be no opportunity for such license there as
once prevailed al Malamoras In pursuance oi
instructions from Gen. Taylor, ne has issued
stringent order, from which the following IS an
extract:
CAMAR0o, Mexico, Sept. 10, 1876.
To all 1ct0m Il may concern NO American
citizen is allowed TO locate in CamarSo, without
a written pemit from Gen. Taylor No goods
brought by steamboats, or mules viii be allowed
10 rema in-a such will be seized and sent to the
Quauermasrer at Brasos. No person not con-
necled with the army, will be suffered 10 stop al
Camareo without permit from Gen. Taylor or
the commandani OF The post. No private freight
OF any kind TO be brought ashore IRON STEAMBOATS,
and, in accordance with the instructions, all per-
leave the place by the l7lh inst
The Flag also informs US that the Mexicans
in Camargo who had been in the employ OF The
Quartermasler, and who were inslisaled by the
Alcade 10 cease work, were offered an increase
of wages 10 return 10 their employment Relu>-
ing TO accept ii, Gen. Patterson compelled them 10
60 10 work al their former wages. The Mex
cans were perfectly willing 10 continue work, but
were held back through fear OF the Acade, who
was given to understand that he mus, not inter-
lere again in matters oil The sort.
The Flag mentions the narrow escape OF two
of Walkers Rangers from party OF 10 Next
cans, as they were journeyng BY themselves
from Camargo 10 Maamoras. They owed their
escape to the superiority OF their horses and the
prompt use Of their arms.
The accounts which we now have OF The riot
in the Georgia Regiment are scarcely so full as
we published on The 9Th Sept, bot of like pprpon
The two companies engaged were the Jasper
Greens and the Kensas Rangers. Corporal John
Whalen, o. The Green's was shot through The
heart The Flag Of the OH says Col. Baker OF
the Illinois Volunteers, was then lying al Mata-
moras, and suffering much from The wound he re-
ceived in suppressine the riol The names OF
The wounded are mol given, but full account OF
The whole affair is promised in future number
OF the Flag. We learn from another source that
Capt. Mcmahon, of The Greens, was undergoing
his trial by court martial at MatamoTas on the
18Th
II In our last paper we stated the advance
OF the Army under General Worth 10 be al Chi
ma II was At Cerralvo small Town about sixty
miles from Monterey. Further reports have
reached here as to the number OF Mexican troops
in Monterey, which puts Mem at 5000, with a
heavy additional force on The march, which II is
A II r. IT,
sibly arrive. The whole force with which Gen
eral Taylor marches TO Monterey will not exceed
1000. The place is represented blythe Mexicans
10 be extremely well fortified, and they are firmly
OF opinion that The Americans will he whipped.
We have had no Intelligence from General lay
Tor since he let, Camargo. lie is no doubt, BY
this time, in Cerralvo, and bu, few days eau
clapse before important news may be looked Tor.
Much the larger part OF his force has been lelI
behind, which he will not move forward unless
the eIigencies may demand il.
