Gen. Wool, with, a part of his staff
Port Layscca on the 9Th ult., and arrived
at this place on the 18th, leaving behind
his aid de-camp Lit. McDowall, lstartille-
ry, in consequence of an accident which
befel him, (from the effects which am
happy to say he has now entirely recoy-
ered,) of which for some days deprived
the General of his valuable services, and
gave our party, which followed ON the
18th ult., the pleasure of his company
We arrived on the morning of the sixth
day, making our marches principally be-
tween the hours of three and ten o'clock
in the morning.
The two regiments of Illinois volun.
teers, under Coils. Hardin and Bissel, left
their encampment on Piacedores creek, on
the 11th ult., and arrived here on the 9th
leaving at the "Oja dc Agna" Capt.
Webb's company in charge of the sick,

will Join their regiments in few DAYS.
Col. Harvey, with detachment of the
ID Dragons, consisting of Bvt Mai. Be-
all's Capts. Howe and Blake companies
returned from the Preside de Rio Grande
on the 18th nlt., having been absent a
bout one month. Since their return,
Capt. Hcwe's company has been consol-

The Arkansas Mounted Volunteers.

rolling prairie, dotted over with clumps
ofoak, muskeet, &C., through which ma

its banks garnishcd with foliage, flowing
along in front of the camp, affording the
troops an abundance ofpure water; while
the opposite side is bounded by range of
hills, stretching to the northwest. On
the west side ofthe San Antonio, are en-.
camped five companies of Texan Volun-
teers, under the command of Col. Young;
and being six months men, they will prob.
ably be disbanded in few days. The
advance of the army will take up its line
ofmarch about the 18th inst, and perhaps
sooner: great exertions are being made
by the Quartermaster's Department, I'm
der the interchangeable Capt. Cross, who is
well known in the Crescent City, and
who leaves nothing undone, which is pos
sible to place this train in a proper state
to give efficiency to the expedition.

take possession ofthe Capital of Chihua-
