MOVEMENT OF rRooPs-Generai Worths division
rived here on FRIDAY morning last on its way to the
Bazos, It is composed OF the fourth infantry, under
Col Whistler; fifth infantry Major Martin Scott eighth
infantry Major Wright; second Dragons, Col Harvey;
Col Childs artillery battalion; It, Col Duncan's flying
artillery, with 1T. P. Keaney's company OF dragoons,
and Capt Banchard's company of Louisiana volunteers
The latter acting with the fifth infantry.
This division left Sato, under orders from the
mander-n-chiel and will probably arrive at the
ears Of active operations IN the vicinity OF Vera Cruz
were eneamped at this place, from Thursday until Sat
urday having arrived one day previous to the infantry
regiments, which passed down steamboats, but yes

ANXIOUS to pay their respects to the hero of Monterey
The whole command appear to be in fine health and
SPIRITS and the horses in excellent conditionn fact
more hardy or efficient body OF men than this command
cannot be produced i'll any country, and look forward
with much interest to their future operations being salts
he'd that they ego where glory waits them"
General Butler was at Saltillo on the 18th, when
Worths division left, but it was understood that he
would fall back on Monterey with his troops General
Wool was still at Paas but is said that he will also
march Tor Monereythus abandoning Saltllo, Parras,
and the Rnconada Pass to the possession of the enemy
This step supposed to be taken account of the indie
esbie state OF those places with their diminished forces
The severity OF the climate and the scarcity of wood
forage, &C. combine to render them unpleasant quarters
for this season OF the year.
General Taylor has established his headquarters at
Monterey and the place being put in such state of
at their head, will not be able to disturb him. We sup
pose that General Taylor will be left in command of all
the forces above, while the invading army of General
Scott consisting OF nearly all the regulars in Mexi
co, some seven thousand strong and nearly twice that
number OF volunteers, will act in CONJUNCTION with the
navy IN attacking Vera Cruz.
- There are two companies of Dragons with General
layior-Col Mays and Capt. Graham's. Capts. Wash
lngton and Websters batteries are at Salo, and one
company OF artillery at Camargo which comprise nearly
all the regulars above At Camargo are the second Ohio
volunteers, and few others are stationed at Punta Agu-
da and Ceravo, comprising nearly all the force between
this and Monterey
The 0hioans are under orders for Tampico, leaving
inc regiment al thus place, with
or two OF regulars in Fort Brown.
From VrcroRn-By express from Victoria, we learn
mat Gen Taylor left there for Monterey on the 10th,
with Col Mays squadron of dragons, Col Davs's Mis-
,,SsPp regiment, and Blaggs and Thomas's batteries.
All the rest OF the regular force had marched from Veto
TIA TO lampco under Gen. Twiggs Mai. Gen. Patter-
son remains in command at Victoria with the Tennessee
cavalry and the Illinois brigade, under Gen Pillow
