LATER FROM TIE Rio GRASDE. The
steamship Alabama, Capt. Windle, arrived
on the 5ih inst. ut New Orleans from BraZos
Santiago, having sailct! or the ID inst Col
HOralio Davis and staff, and $50 men oflhe
4ih regiment of Louisiana Volunteers, Capt.
McAlllster off the 9th regiment Capt. Grice
0ithe I'd, Capts. Downer and Staples the
9TH, Lieuis. Kirkland and Joiner, and Lieut.
Hatch Of the army, were among the passen-
gers.
General Worth had been ordered TO law
out Il camp for 10000 men mt Camarso. and
establish depot sixty miles from there Oh
the road 10 Monterey.
The Picayune states that the news from
the army is mcayre enough, and there is no
verbal intelligence. The publicai;on of the
Malamorns RevriiIc has been suSpended.-
We copy The following from the New Or
leans CGuricr:--
We have conversed with several officers
and privates Of the Louisiana volunteers.
v no have Just arrived from the banks OF the
Rio GranGr, IN d they concur in stating that
the tales which have been told of the I'M
hcalthlness or that region, and the aEliciion
81 The troops by diseases, are entirely iahu-
lous. One simple fact. which was related
TO Us by an officer Of Col. PcyGon's regiment,
will give tie reader an accurate idea Of the
sanitary cond;iinn Ofthe army. Tie Fegi-
mcnt just mentioned contained one thousand
men or thereabnuts. From their arrival al,
ill their departure from the Rio Grandc,
they lost only three men; one Of these wa,
accidentally shot; the second died Of dis
case OF the heart or lungs, which he carried
with him from New Orleans; and the third,
Il fine soldier, Prussian by birth, caught n
hn IN
preform his duty; neglected to report himself
sick, till the n.alajy had made fatal nroad
upon his frame, and medical aid came TOO
late.
Although the Picayune complains that
there is news, the correspondence from the
scat Of war contain much matter tina. is in
teresling, and we copy extracts from num-
Der OF letter which we find in the Ncw-Or-
leans papers -

Temptation 10 the commanding officer of the
troops here, stating that the Camanchcs
were laying waste the ranches on the other
side of The river above the mouth OF the San
Juan, numbering the inhabitants and carry
ing of captive children. McCulloh's ran
gers were al once detailed 10 cross the Rio
Grande, and were all in the saddle in almost
no time.
In the meantime, some of the wild tribes
have organized their bands, and are now
carrying on death and destruction upon the
frontier. It's the bounden duty of the Unit
ed States, as look upon the matter, TO afford
protection TO the inhabitants upon the east
bank ofthe Rio Grande; but TO what extent
the Indians can be legitimately interfered
with on this side oil The river, Is another mat
ter. The result of all this is now looked for
here with much interest, and the advcn INJURIES
of McCulloch,s men with the Indians shalIbe
detailed TO you at the earliest opportunity.
