We copy the following articles oil
news, from that excellent print the
Detroit Daily Advertiser.
From The Seat of War.-Advices
from New Orleans 10 the 18th have
been received, with letters from Mata-
moros TO July 5th. Gen. Taylor an
nounced to two OF the regiments on
the 4th, that in few days he would
have boats to transport them TO Camar-
90, whence he would put them direct
" in motion for Monterey, and If they
give fight before the summer closed, it
would not be his fault.
The papers Of Texas and Matamoros
were filled with the details Of the celc-
bration of the 4th. The rains were
holding up. Some sickness prevailed +,
mostly bowel complaints. The mea-
sizes lad appeared in Marks regiment,
and several men were down with the
complaint. DeGray bad arrived in
Keynoso, from the upper country, and
reports the w fiCdbs W oc h'eu win
apathy to the war.
Five hundred Mexican volunteers
at Monctoya had refused to serve on
hearing of Taylor's victories.
Some disaflcction among the Louis
lana volunteers had appeared, but it
would he settled, il having been refer
red to Gen, Smith. The wounded &
sick were doing well at Fort Polk.

on the soulder, called me bobby -Shihy,
and asked for a picp une, His hair
was long, and braid reached almost
to his feet. This was ornamented with
several old suspender buckles. "What
will you ask TO cut of that braid and
give il to mei" said to him, thinking
Of course that he priced il very highly.
"Four bits" he promptly replied. -
"Cut it oll"-and handed him n
knife. He commenced untying il,
close to his head, and not wishing to
allow him TO crop himself to close, ]
told him to cut it longer. "No-mo

Food for Horses Gen. Thompson
in his '.Recollections of Mexico" says:
"Corn is not used at all as food for
horses, the only grain used for that
purpose is barley, and the only fodder
is wheat straw--an article generally
regarded by US as of little or no value.
In this, ! am satisfied that we are mis-
taken. hada very large pair OF
American horses, and ! was at first
afraid that, however we'll the bar
ley and wheat straw might agree with
the Mexican horses, il was not sub
slantial enough for mine. Bot j found
that they became so fat upon it that !
was obliged to curtail the allowance.
Rye aud oats are very little cultivated,
il at all. never saw grain Of either
in Mexico"
or The Texas Advocate, published
ut Victoria, says that a good looking
Mexican, not long since, went into a
settlement above Victoria, and by rep.
rcsenting that horses would sell in
Matamoros for the large sum of $i0O
each, persuaded some young men TO go
