FARTHER FROM TIE ARMY.-We mentioned in
our last that Gen Worth WAS on his way to this port
from Rio GrHnde or the steamer Hunter. We have
sncelesrned with great regret that Gen Worth has re-
signed his commission tits we'll understood Ia the ser
vice tina, the OF this step Is that old source OF COM
plant breve, rank. But whatever may be the Cause,
the whole country will regret the loss OF Gen Worth
Il is no dsparsgement others in the service to say
that in the highest and best qualifications OF general
officer Gen. Worth has no superior IN the army.
Another untoward event in the service we have to
chronicle On the morning of the 10th inst, Col Cross.
the acting Qusrtermaster General Of the Army lett the
camp on horseback unattended, business IN his de-
partmen. Not returning within reasonable time alarm
excited in regard 10 his safety and parties were sent
GU. for him. but could obtain satisfactory tdirgs OF
him Three four days elapsed and the srAvest tears
were entertained for his life when happily, through the
energy and adroitness of officer OF the dragons,
was asceraned that Col Cross had been taken prisoner
BY party of Mexican rGrchros consisting OF csptaH
lieutenant and FIVE men, and carried of.
Not the least apprehension Is now entertained for the
personal safety OF Col Cross but Is not known IN Gen.
Tayors camp where he is Mexican officers positively
deny that he Is in Msamoros and we must wait patiently
little while for the MYSTERY TO be unraveled. But let
Us repeat that last the officers in Gen lay
lors camp felt alarm whatever as 10 the personal
safety Of Col. Cross. ~ " PIC
