MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS.
From the Matamoras Flag Dec 261
General Buffers command by recent order, extends
thence to the mouth Of the Rio Grande An order has
subsequently been issued from headquarters, at Monte
rey, dated 18th of December which makes the following
disposition Of the forces at the different points on the line
The second Ohio regiment at Camargo proceed with
four companies to Cerravo three Companies respcctve
y to Marin and Puna Aguda second Kentucky Infantry
at Ccrravo and Mier to Monterey Brig Gen Msrshafl
at camargo to report Immediately dquartsrs, with
seven companies Kentucky cavalry Brig Gen. Lane,
with the second and third Indiana ents for the same
destination third Ohio regiment at Matamoras to relieve
Mier six companies first Indiana the mouth to relieve
third Ohio at Maamoras four companies to remain nj
the mouth Lieut. COL Garland, Of tho third infantry
Gently in command Of the brigade formed of the third and
fourth to be governor OF Monterey.
will be observed from the above, that the first Indi
ana regiment, commanded by Col Drake is ordered to
relieve the Ohio regiment under command of Col Curtis
but the order issued under the impression that the
Indiana regiment was at tho mouth Of the river while
they were in fact on their march from Camargo to Mon
tersy This appears strange and only be accounted
for by the superstition that Brig Cen Lane took thores
ponsbily Of moving the regiment forward without or.
ders from Maj Gen. Butler. This movement we should
suppose may embarrass the commaRder of the Ohio re-
gment stationed here az he Is the senior colonel Of the
brigade recently under the command Of the late Brga
dior General Hamer and should be, right in command
Of that brigade.
Proclamatons have been received here from Santa An
