rePast to our tired and hungry officers and men
He prenounces their liquors, chocolate, soups,
roast beef, etc., etc, to have been first rate
Ampudia's plate, which was valuable, was
promptly returned to him. Most of the wound
ed have been sent to Corpus Christi, but there
are still enough here to represent most pain
fully the sad results of war. Capt. Page, whose
under jaw was completely shot away, is in Il
fair way of recovering! Capt. Hooe is walk
ing about with the stump of his right arm
dangling by his side, and appears to be in ex-
cellent humor. Col. Mcintosh, who was bad
ly wounded, was stretched out yesterday in a
Mexican wagon trying to read He was stab
bed in the throat, or rather dorm the throat, in
the neck, and in other parts Of his body, and
was repeatedly knocked down in the fight
Lieut. Maclay, who was wounded in the action
OF the 9th, is here, with an awfuly sore shin,
across which Mexican grape-shot passed, sha-
wing teetIe closer than was safe, as it carried
with it a slice Of bone and sinew. Instances
of individual herosm occurred at those two en-
gagements, which would have immortalzed Il
Spartan.
The Volunteers are gathering here in crowds
Yesterday the Ondaka, Mary Kingsland, Flor
ida and Orleans, arrived with troops from New
Orleans, A company of Texan Rangers came
down to Padre Island and were crossed over
last evening. Some are encamped near the
Fort, on the prairie, aud six companies Of Lou
isana Volunteers are encamped on the Point,
l-3 miles distant, at the Bar had the plea
sure yesterday Of meeting Gen. Memucan
Hunt, of the Texan Volunteers. The General
looks well, and is anxious to be on the field
His men are hardy looking fellows. All they
pray for is to be permitted to 90 out through
the interior, as our army marches on towards
neXiCo, and take such towns as they can reach.
Their knowledge of the country, their hardi-
hood and experience in fighting Mexicans, fit
them peculiarly for such service. There are
more than twenty vessels lying here inside and
outside of the Bar One Frigate of War, and
the balance transports and trading vessels
The Florida drew less than seven feet, and
bumped heavily on the Bar, as she came over,
yesterday morning. The Hon. Rice Garland
is here, and is about to establish Il line ofCoach-
es between this point and Matamoras. He
will make fortune by the operation, If he
commences soon. The suffers put the screws
to the poor soldiers here at Il cruel rate, in the
way Of charges. 1t is really outrageous, and
should be looked to by those in power.
The sea-bathing at this place is fine-the sun
excessively hot, not a solitary shade tree-plen
ty of fish, and fine sea-breeze. The Volun-
teers, as far as have heard, enjoy excellent
health. Two from Capt. Rousseau's company
were brought to the Hospital, but are not dan
gerousy ill. Yesterday Louisiana Volunteer
was buried He was an Italian, believe, and
had been sick for long time. The poor fell
low received a soldiers burial,
Very truly yours. II.
IS. The Volunteers encamped at the
Point by the Bar, have Just been ordered to this
place.
A letter from our private correspondent "S."
contains the following item:
forgot in the beginning of my last letter to
say the Com. d Gen. has ordered "that the
blockade of the Rio Grande will be considered
as raised in regard to all vessels bringing car
goes for merchants in Matamoras, except such
as contain munitions ofwar ofany description
