1t will be necessary, therefore, that our friend
in the United States, who intend to be pre-
sent, should, as soon as convenient, forward
their names to the office as above, or repor
, themselves here on their arrival, in order tha
they may be enrolled in accordance with the
regulations
The attention of parties disposed to make
such application for enrolment as Correspond.
ing Members, and for admission as such to the
Conference in August, must also be drawn to
the resolution respecting Stockholders reso-
lnton which was adopted after long and care
tul deliheration; and their attention is thus
specially directed to it, in order to prevent the
painful necessity of refusing admission at the
time OF the Conference to any person who, not
having adverted to its spirit and design, might
make application for the purpose.
1t is likewise to be understood, that not only
is an agreement in the doctrinal truths set
forth in the document essential to membership,
but also the intention to cultivate and exhibit
the spirit Of forbearancG and brotherly love.
With regard to the objects contemplated in
the formation of the proposed Evangelical AL
lance, they will be found to be indicated with
sufficient dlstnctness, at least for present pur-
poses, in the series of Resolutions relating to
them. All that it may DO necessary to men,
ton here, is, that the one great object to be
aimed at, is the manifestation of the unity
which exists amongst real Christians, and that
the other objects enumerated are to be pursued
i'll subseryiency to it.
The day fixed for the opening of the Confe-
renee is the 18th of August
We are instructed in conclusion, TO assure
our trans Atlantic fellow-Chrstians, that it will
afford their brethren in this country unieigned
Joy to receive them to the hallowed engage
ments of the intended Conference, ana to wei
come them to the inequalities of their homes.
They attectlonately invite them to their family
circles, as we'll as to the assemblies of the pro-
posed Evangelical Alliance; and anticipate with
sacred delight the opportunity of interchange
ing with them the holy sympathies of Christian
love, and of approaching with common sup
plications and praises the throne Of God and
of the Lamb.

SIR: have to report the arrival this day OF
Gen. Smith, with the battalion of the LIST intan-

Mobile, Another regiment of Louisiana vol

evening or tomorrow. This commandwas &C
companied from the mouth by the steamboat
Neva, which succeeded without difficulty in
reaching this place.
Lieut., Col. Garland returned on the 22d
from his expedition in pursuit of the retreating
army. He succeeded in capturing small rear
party, after trihing skirmish in the night, in
which a man and unfortunately woman,
were killed on the Mexican side, and two men
slightly wounded on our own. He pursued
the route of the army for sixty miles, and then
returned agreeably to his Instructions. The
scarcity of water and condition of his horses
made it useless to proceed farther.

| 1t will be seen from the letter of General
Taylor ofthe 18th May, published above, that
it was very unfortunate that he was not sup
piled with ponton train, which would have
enabled him to pursue the enemy across the
Rio Grande, and greatly improve the results o.
his victory. Having made inquiry upon the
subject, we have ascertained that it was a
source ofno less regret to the War Department
than to Gen. Taylor, that it possessed neither
the power nor the means of providing hin
with such a train. Its great usefulness anC
importance in military operations has, we un
derstand, been long known to the department
ard various efforts have been made to Undue;
Congress to make provision for it. The Secre
tarv of War, in mis- last annual report, strong
ly recommended the measure. This recon-
nlendaton was followed up by earnest and re-
peated efforts by the department to induce its
sanction by Congress; and the Secretary Q

''Our future movements must depend, in a
great degree, on the extent to which the Ro
Grande is navigable for steamboats,, and fear
that my expectations i'll this particular will not
be realized. Though, at times, navgable as
high as Camargo, or even Mier, it is doubtful
whether boat can now be pushed higher than
Reinosa. Indeed the 'Neva,' which is in the
river, and accompanied the expedition under
Gen. Smith, has not yet reached this place
though hourly expected.

REPORTED BATTLE AND Loss OF LIFE. The
ST. Louis Republican of the Sd inst. says that
areport was rife at Newport, Mississippi, when
the steamer Radaor was there, said to have
been brought in on the previous day, that the
Mormons or the Mormons in connection with
the Indians, had made an attack on the Califor-
MIA emgrants, on the plains, at or near the
Kansas river, in which Gov. Boggs and num-
Der OF others were killed. 1t is said, that bo-
dy of volunteers was being raised at Newport,
to go out to ascertain the truth of the report.
We give the story as we heard it, remarking
that it is not generally believed at Westport,
nor de we think it entitled to any credit.
