CAPTURE oE MExIcANs--Loss OF VoLUN-
TEERs. Louisville Courier, Of the 9th,
contains a letter dated Camargo, Sept. 18th,
from which we extract the following para
graphs:
Some Of sur men succeeded in capturing
sixteen Mexcans last evening". They were
brought n,o camp as puscners. They are,
undoubtedly, spies frem the enemy. They
we're we'll armed with carbines, and had a
supply of ammunllaton oil pack mulss..>-
They are safe now!
The Regulars also captured two spies las
evening, who were armed with carbines anc
brass balls, Of sizes sixteen 10 the pouad.
They also lad spygass and every thing else
necessary TO enable them to Spy our move

Seine Of the men beionging the first regi
ment Of Ohio volunteers left camp 5 day
ago, to go about one milo into the countr,
for vegetables. They have net beea seer
or heard Of since. This locks truly dark, a
VIC are unable to tell whether they have bsel
murdered or taken prisoners by the Mexi
cans.
There is overy reason 10 believe tina
several Of eur citizens, volunteers in The
Logisn, whe were discharged and on thei
way hsme, pershed ON their passage acros
the Gulf in the terrible storm which causes
the loss Of the steamship New York ant
several small sail vessels. Capt. Godfre

nearly six weeks since, in the schooner En-
terprize, and have moi beon heard Of since
Persons who left Btazos Santiago after th
departure Of the Enterprize, reached thi
