We have another letter from R. X. A. but
he had no news to communicate. 1t was
brought to Camargo by train, which was es
corted, in part, by a portion Of the LIST Miss
Regiment, who were to return to Monterey
He makes no mention of the return of the
Regiment except that "the wounded are all at
Monterey and will return home with the Regi-
ment when their term of service expires."-
The wounded arrived at Monterey on the 28th
March. He says Colonel Davis wound is

CURIOUS FAcT.--It is very common to heal
city soldiers sneered at as too effemnate for
campaign, and not able to endure the iatigne
that country soldiers can bear without incon-
|venience, yet the experience in the war with
Mexico is just the contrary. While the coun-
try soldiers die off in undue proportion, the
city soldiers are comparatively free from sick
ness. The Mssissippians who encamped near
New Orleans, lost forty men out Of their regi-
men; the sylvanians, on the same ground
who were from the cities Of Philadelphia,
Pittsburg and Pottsville, lost not a single man.
In the list of deaths among the troops at Santa
Fe, moi one man of the artillery from ST. Louis
city died, and but three attached TO the battal-
ion from the city and county Of ST. Louis died,
whilst many have died from nearly every coun-
~, of the other volunteers showing that city
troops are the hardest, and tn country troops
leas, So One of the surgeons in the army also
refers to this fact, as afordng singular con-
tradicion to preconceived notions of the rela-
tive physical power Of endurance among the
two descriptions of soldiers.

The News from Mexico.

General Taylor and the wings.

We invoke particular attention to the sub
joined article. 1t is from the pen 0 Mr. Chand.
Ter Of the Philadelphia United States Gasette-
The name of the paper is guarantee Of the
correctness of any assertion for which the edi-
tor vouches:
Important-It is question put to us fire.
quently, by honest Wings, whetherEen Tay-
ior's opinions upon the great question of ma
ton policy are known; whether he is Wing
in alsthings; and whether, if formally nomi-
nated he would consent to standsthe canvass
In the first place, then, Zachary Taylor is a
Wbig-a sound sterling Whig-a friend of
all the leading public permanent measures,
of the great Wing party, We have occasion
to know this. He is the friend Of a protective
tariff, of the distribution of the proceeds of
the public lands, and he is opposed to the sub
treasury system.
With regard"ro the other query relative to
the willingness Of General Taylor to stand
canvass as Presidential candidate, we believe
no one would feel at liberty TO give an opin-
ion for him. Gen. Taylor is, and has been
clay man.
He would desire to see that personal and po-
litical friend President of the United States;
he shares in the common feelings of enthus-
asm in favor Of Henry Clay. Zachary Taylor
does not seek office; he does not desire nomi-
nation: he would prefer what Of privacy can
be allowed to ouch man, while he could see
the presidential chair filled by Henry CLAW. or
any such man, If any other such man can
be found.
But one man does no. make President for
twenty millions of people: and if it should
be thought best by the people, that Gen. Tay-
Ior shonld be the candidate Of the Wing party,
to restore the Presidency to its former state, he
will not say, no.

COMMERCIAL -.hew Orleans, May -Atthe
date of our last review, we left the market
buoyant at the improvement that had been pre-
viousy realized. Factors have since maintain
ed their position with good deal Of tirmness,
and a fair amount of business has been done
at full prices. The transactions on Wednes-
day, embraced 1900 bales; on Thursday $500,
and yesterday 1900, making an aggregate tor
the three days of 600 bales, aud Tor the week
of $4,000. The demand has been chiefly for
England, but buyers for the North, having also
operated TO some extent. The accounts by
the Sarah SGAds are not Of character to have
any influence on the market, even were they
not only two days later, but those by the Gale
donia, are expected with much greater interest
We continue our previous quotations without
change.

The steamship Sarah Sands arrived at New
York this from Liverpool having sail
ed on the 9th inst.
This arrival gives US butlitlle news of gen
eral or political interest.
There was no change in cotton since the
date OF the Cambria's sailing,
There was avery heavy business done in
flour Immediately preceding the sailing of the
Sands, and sales of the Western flour in bond
were current at 81 shllings and pence to 2ps.
There had also been heavy business done in
wheat at full prices. %
Corn has also recovered again and sold at SO
