CAMARGo, Aug. 9th, 1916.

CAMARGo, Aug. 9th, 1916.
For news-Gen. Worth, with the first brig
ade of his division, is al the new depot es-
tablished by him in the beautiful village of
Seralvo, about 70 or so miles distant from
here, and on the upper route uia Mer TO

the I'd brigade, is about 5 miles beyond
Mier, and is to halt temporarily al Punia-
guda, village say 80 miles this side of
Seralvo. The first infantry and the third
brigade will both march shorlly-the voIun-
teer force, some or 1000, will then follow.
No movement beyond Seralvo will take
place till the arrival Of headquarters at that
point-say about Sept. 10TH Meanwhile
Gen. Worth is actively engaged in ncreas-
ing the means of transportation, reconaoiter-
ing the routes in advance of his position

very graciously. Colonel Hays, of the Isl

GEN. TAYLOR IN EUROPE.

The Richmond Enquirer publishes the
following extract from letter 10 a gentle
man in Richmond:
MADRID, July %, 1916.
Taylor's victories have been ielt more
here, in Europe, even than at home. For
woweeks between the sailing OF The steam
ers) our suspense was great; but, when the
news did come, each American strulted out
as large life. The papers which had pre-
dicted Taylor's capture as certain, were
sorely used up. Taylor's dispatches have
been greatly admired for their terseness, dig
nifty and modesy.
The greatest compliment get paid to
Taylor heard in London. The compi-
ment is this: When the steamer of MAY
10Th brought to England the news of Fay
Ior's difficult position, the Duke of Yelling
ton met Mr.. ----, and the subject was in
troduced, ''Why," said The Duke, ..does he
not do this and that" (ment;oning steps he
thought Taylor ought 10 take.) When the
steamer of June lst brought the news oil
his victories, Mr.. - met the Duke

or On Sunday last an old woman, about
seventy years of age, accompanied by lii
tie girl of seven years, arrived at this place
on the packet Tom Me!calle from the neigh
borhood of Shawneetown. The two arrived
here about o'co ok, and the woman died
Cat the residence of Mr.. Wandall, where she
was kindly received and taken care oil, )about
o'clock the same day. A coroner's Inquest
was held upon the body and an examination
had by the physicians. Nothing was discoy-
cred going 10 shew that she died by violence
of any kind, and the verdict of the jury was
that, she died of old age, fatigue, and the
extreme heat ofihe weather. We learn from
the little girl-who is at present with the ed
itor ofthis paper-that the old woman's name
was Goldsby, or Goldsbury; the girls name
is Margaret Ann Warn, or Warren, and her
mother lives somewhere on Black creek, or
river, and is married second time, to a
man by the name of Francis Bell. The girl
has lived with her uncle in Kentucky since
her otherlef her, about six or seven years
ago, and he dying a month since, the old
woman Goldsby, or Goldsbuny, who was
grand mother to the child, was taking her to
her mother. Ifths should meet the eye Of
the relations or friends of the little girl they
may learn everything concerning her by
addressing letter, post paid, TO the editor oil
this paper; and in the mean time are assured
that every care will be taken of the little
girl, not only by his own family, but by
the p!iianthropic citizens generally, who have
evinced the most kindly regard for he
and commiseration for Der helpless cond
ton.

be more cautious in future how he talks abou
