NORTH CAROLINA REGlMENI;;-IWo
companies of This regiment are stationed al ms
place. awaiting the arrival OF the other compa-
MES vet at sea. They are commanded by Caps.
Wilson and Duggan. From few hours con-
versalion with them, we have taken up the idea
that the Old North State will never have cause
10 blush on their account.

MASSACHUSETTS REGIMENT. = Six
companies OF The Massachusetts regiment. We are
informed were landed al The Brazos on Monday.
MISSISSIPPI REGIMENT-Th ID Iesi-
ment from Mississippi, who occupied This place
for few days, LETT here on Sunday morning
Their orders instruct them 10 proceed directly 10
Monterey. From the reputation that preceded
them, we expected they would prove an unma-
nagcable set OF boys; but, taking every thing
into consideration, their department was mueh
better than could reasonably have been anlicipa-
led. Those of the regiment with whom We be-
came acquainted would Tenect nonol upon any
body of men. Gen. C. M. Price, its Quarter
master, we have heard spoken OF as perfect mo-
del of a gentleman possessing The most noble
and generous impulses.

souer hearts than the Mexicans. Their first
