Correspondence Of the aDaay Deua."J

CHINA, Mexico, Aug. 23, 1916.
Gentlemea-The lst regiment of Mounted Texans,
Col Hays commanding, reached this place after four
teen days scout hills and mountains, swamps
and prairies, through under brush and hcket every
one of which is full Of thorns with no provisions for
the last four days but beef and look pcaceable posses
sion of the town. though we have been expecting, for
the last three days. have sharp fight for it. Capt
Green with a detachment of thirty men, as a spy
company advanced on the town night before last and
took formal possession with three men, they acting
the advance guard, very much to the surprise of the
frightened citizens. They had heard that we were in
the country, but could not find out which way we
were coming, Capt Green having taken their spy on
the night Of the DIST and they Little anticipated we
would come the route did. it being nothing but a
single-fie trail, and part Of it no road at all.
We are now in the very heart of the enemy's coun-
try, within a hundred miles of Monterey but ! am
confident we will get fight unless with over
wheming numbers-the Mexicans fear the Texan
troops than Gen. Taylor and his whole army, as
roid that if thousand of any other troops had
come here they would have had TO fight for the town,
but they afraid to fight the Texans as the only
way that they could be whipped to kin them all
for if one was left living, or could get away he was
to DO serious damage. The Mexicans are
also appTehensive that if they were whipped in fight
with Texas regiment, they would have no quarters
shown them, and appear to be much surprised and
grat6ed at conduct towards hem and the protec-
ton of their persons and property.
On route we took peaceable possession of the
town of San Fernando the river of that name 100
miles south of Matamoras, and remained there three
days, when took up our line of march for this
place, distance of over 100 miles. This place has
a population of about 5000, and San Fernando be-
tween and 5000.
Yours, MUSTANG.

WAR NEWS.
From fAe N o. Delta. Of the 9th Instant.
Infa frnan the ARMY In McXlcO.

The steamship M-Kim, Capt Pogo, arrived from
the Brazos St. iago, last evening. The news which
she brings presents no striking new feature Inc
troops are still advancing, and still IS there no enemy
to be met. We alude, elsewhere, IN sorrow
than in anger, the riotous and dsgracef conduct
Of some of our own troops. Then indeed the amor
patria-the esprit! aa corps unwisely, unrefect-
ingly forgotten, and
"IIeart, fell off that ought to twine"-
but the subject sickening one, and we shall not
pursue it.
In addition to the news in the letters Of our cores
pondence, we find the following paragraph touching
things as they are on the western side of the Rio
Grande. in the American Flag Of the 29th ult, which
We transcribe:
The town, for several days has been rife with ru-
of the taking of Monterey by party of men
from San Antonio We placed no confidence what
in the report from the first, and TO satisfy those
who had any doubts the subject, called on the
officer in command here, and lie stated that he beev
ed it TO be an idle rumor. At Camargo under
stand the reports IN circulation at the last
accounts, and as little credit given them 1t was
stated that Col Harvey, with the troops at Bexar had
crossed the Rio Grande at Laredo and thus proceed
cd the place in question without advising the
mander Of the movement; but dispatches have been
received from him. within n few days, dated at San
Antonio; that knocks tie affair out Of the pale OF
probability Now il there is any account of the affair
that looks reasonable it is the Mexicans' They say
that letters from Monterey that body of Anne
ricans, who came down by the way of New Mexico,
were joined near the Preside by a number of Texan
aGUeHtureros, and the combined force had entered the
town without any opposition. 1t is believed 10 be
true by the natives, aud confess that many things
would surprise than the last mentioned move
ment. Two weeks ago a letter received here
from Moncova, sta ing that body of Americans was
advancing upon that place. but it received credit
whatever from the Americans
The Adrance.-We learn by the last steamboat
from Camargo that oil the regulars had departed for
the interior, with the exception of one regiment.
Gen. Taylor still at Camargo but it was suppos-
cd that he would leave in few days.
Gen. Twiggs hid reached Camargo, with about
1900 men from this place, and we understand he
started off Immediately for Monterey.
Gen. Worth, if he continued his march, must be
close on to Monterey about this time. He viii pro-

that place-unless the adventures" have got there
ahead of them. which would not create much surprise
in the minds of sOme
O-Co Curtis's regiment Of Ohio volunteers are
winning golden opinions from all classes of people in
Matamoras. Their position Is more important and
arduous than that of any other Volunteer regiment in
the field and the perfect discipline which governs all
their actions, speaks every thing in their favor.

SANTA FE TRADE-A letter written at Independ-
ence Missouri, on the 26th of August, and published
in the ST. Louis Republican, furnishes statistical
details Of the trade to Santa Fc and the southern
Mexican provinces, which is much greater this year
than any former one, owing mainly to the closing of
the ports the seabord. Thirty-nine companies of
traders have gone out this season, taking with them
Alb wagons which are in the charge Of about 500

Dear DelIG-AIost of your volunteer friends and

from the capital and other principal towns but not

confess their knowledge. Yesterday they showed the
Pronuncianientos of Tampico and Vera Cruz they

things. | observe il is the general impression among
the intelligent that all things tremendously

supposed, are not unfrequent among many congre-

A BRAVE GENTLEMAN.-One Of the papers coolly
states that clerk dismissed for his incapacity from

to Boston, 10 inlict upon him personal insult This
brave clerk attempted the same thing at Washington.

though he cunningly sought moment when Mr. B.,
entirely off his guard aud not firm in health, was
courteously giving him an opportunity to vndicate
bis claims. A noted Commodore, not so famous for
his courage, temperance and humanity for his vio-
lent opposition to promotion by merit is the friend
and patron of the doughty clerk, who, it ought 10 be
said, has about half dozen Of his connections quar-
tered on the Government. AS the Secretary of the
Navy is just recovering from severe illness, the
time is particularly favorable. and we may soon hear
of the attack premeditated. There is nc doubt what
ever it is planned and paid for by the disconnected
officers Of the Navy, who, by the new regulations,

TROUBLE IN OHIo.-The people of Mercer county,

officers TO do their duty in the premises. The RAN
