From the MatamOros Flag Of September IL.
| After the regular edition Of our paper
had been struck Off this morning, The
steamer Big Haichee arrived from Camar-
go, and We are indebted to Mr.. Hicks,
clerk Of The boat, for the following letter,
and other information:
/ ~Camargo, Sept. 8, 1886.
| II hasten 10 inform you Of the arrival,
post haste, from SeralyO, Of Capt. Murray,
with information that M'Cullough's Ran.
gers had come into Gen. Worlds camp al
Seralvo, and reported that on the 9Th inst
about forty miles beyond Seralyo, they
discovered body Of Mexicans, forming
the advance guard of a large force. They
retresied as the Rangers come upon them,
and were pursued until they fell back on
a larger force, which was discovered 10 be
from 500 To 1000 strong. II was the &C.
neral impression that il was intended Il
attack Gen. Worth before reinlorcement'
could arrive, and Capt. Murray thinks tina
a battle is being fought at Seralvo to-day
the sih.) Capt. Murray met Gen. Tay
lor, with part Of his force, some distance
in advance of the main body, and within
lhirty-fve miles Of Seralyo, OH forces
J march 10 It's relief. Il is positively asser
ted that the Mexicans are determined Il
1; make strong resistance between Seralv,
D and Monterey. Ampudia and Arisia ar
cooperating with each other, and thei
forces are augmenting fast-the Mexican
are rallying 10 their standard from all quar-
tiers. The heat has retarded somewha
the progress of the troops who left her
with General Taylor, it being out Of tn
question 10 march during the heat Of III
day. The troops were in high spirit
and eager 10 come up with the Mexican:
; Two companies Of Rangers that wei

ID from Santa Anna, Ampudia, and the Gc
il vernon Of ramaulipas, have been receive

" On the above letter the New OrleaI
10 Courier makes the following remarks:
y at is not probable that the troops SCI

e, an intention to attack Gen. Worth, if the
or numbered only from 500 to 1000, as Il
40 rumor states. Gen. WoIth's force on
numbered them, even before he was joi
II. ed by Gen. Smiths brigade. Those Me-
no lean troops may be the advance OF stron
ID er body, but Gen, Taylor, in all probabilit
~ arrived at Seralvo sooner than the enem

been only thirty-hfe miles eastward

&c Mexicans occurred about the same d

n Mexicans in the battle supposed to ha
he taken place on the 9Th, we have no apr
nix hension for the result. The Americ
troops under Worth and Smith are n
less than 1000, composed Of the best l
