 which we mention elsewhere, brings the
 latest advices from tha Army i friend who came passenger in the r. aad who had the
 best opPovtaaity of being made aae0ainsed
 wiih the cxissing state oG thugs there, has iueeashed us with the following resume of
 the general news 1, is from CAmargo lo
 .he 1th inst. and from Matamoeos ta yhs ] 10th.
 1 On the 9th instant, Gen. Taylor crossed
 the 'ssn Juan, and on the Eth took up the
 line ot march for SeSalvo, where Gen. Worth.
 wlsh hls command, had halted Hays Re- gmeni was to have Jeff China fcr the same
 des1natloa, intendinE 10 reach sheir slmul- laneonsiy with Gen Taylos Gen. TayloT, ln his march, is prepared for any emergency
 --eliher an advance or reueat. He per-
 misled no soldier orsofiieer 10 take more bag gage with hIm lhsa he can conveniently eaS- " oa his back. \ number uf steamers had ] reached Maiamoros with the extra baggage,
 and the Quartet of the Zapadones was con
 verted into depot for il. All the supplies
 for the Advancing Army, 50 sfar. have been
 sent on by pack males, aud the General ex- peess to have 50 days provisions for l2.ntlO 4 men q, Sefalyo whea he reaches is The
 general impression IS that he will there mako
 a hals, aHt. nes advance fuFthes till be has
 aslyices from Washington Notwithstanding the reports of the advance bf Mexican
 force. between San Louis Posobi and Salnllo, the General believes he eaa enter Monterey,
 aud even Saltillo, without eneomn.ering any
 opposition. The troops now on the road be-
 tween Camasgo and Monterey number near i l2,000: none were suffered is, go but such as were ahle and willing to stand the iatigues nla long march. This had the effect of reducing
 considerably the Volunteer Regiments: lew ! of them exceeding 500 s,fong--many ot them numbered even less. These Regiments are 4.one from Tennessee, one from Mississippi,
 one from Kentucky, one from Ohio. one irom Texas, (hays'l, inc Baltimore battalion. a
 part of the Texat Infantry, recognized, and
 McCulluch's and Gillespie's Rangers.
 Il There were near 60O sick lolnnieers tn the hospitals at Gamargo, and they were dy- ing very fast. So Hlany were sick that itFe-
 quiFed near whole regiment to attend io them. Those whom the Tennesseeans ieft
 behind seemed to he particularly unfortunate,
 ioi they had to call on thc Alahlamans 10 aI-
 tend the living and bury the dead. Is fast
 as these men get able ,o leave the hespiial
 they are discharged and sent honle. In fact,
 Gen. T., shows disposition to discharge all
 volunteers who are diseoaientetl and wish to return to their homes. Though the number of patients in the hospital at Aasaanorus is larger than at Canafgo, the mortality IS
 greater at the latter plaec--near , to I.--
 Those who are unaccaStamed io a southern climate when once pruslfated by ihe lever seldom regain tlser former strength on the Rio Grande: without a charge of atmosphere they die of quickly, else become So eneebl-
 ed that they are unable so help themselves.
 A person who has visited the hospitals at the
 different posts, has sald thal Il one halt os the northern and western volunteers who went to the Rio Graudc are effective men en the
 18th October, t Is more than he looks Tor. Gen. Patterson has been leit ill command of all the country from Canargo to the mouth of the river, and he has been inssruc-
 ted by Gen Taylor to issue an order pro-
 hbitiug the entrance of strangers into the
 river aud at Carnargo. This order wnf
 brought down to Capt Ogden by the officers O LtiE " IltGFiltGs tNNtNAPfHf fNt"~st |, who has not already an established business n the country will ind il rather dliiienii io
 land there--at least such is the opinion nov.
 \ different interpretation ol the order may,
 however, he given.
 : Gen. Butler was the man Gen. Taylor
 designed leaving ill command ot lhe lower country, but as PatietsoH did not reach
 Camargo as soon as was expected, the order of things vas changed. Gen. r. IS represcn- ted as being very much mortified at not be- ing allowed 10 accompany inc advance. Anpudia has issued another extraordinary
 "Prociaman warning the citizens, on pain ol
 tcat, not to barieT with the Americans, and the Alcalde of Camargo had also put forth a ! ''Bande" prohibiting the Mexicans irom
 working on our steamhoats. Somc oi inc
 deck hands accordingly ceased their labor,
 but an infination from some oi their employ
 CTS that the luuclionaries might be brought : in close proximity wIlh iazo, he rclcnted 1 and the men assumed their labor.
