INTERESTING FROM ZACATECAs.
We yesterday Gays The n. Q. Picayuac) had
the pleasure OF 4 conversation with MIR. Reuben
Gentry, who has been several years in The Santa
Fe trade, and who left Zacaiecas on the l2h ulI.,
coming direct 10 Sallillo, and taking the Rio
Grande route home.
We Learn from Mr.. Gentry that there were not
over 200 men in San Luis Poiosi, and so hope
less was the enemy Of being able 10 maintain the
place against Gen. Taylor that this force had
orders 10 retire TO Querelaro, city on The road
To Mexico, should he advance. So far as Mr..
Gentry could learn for he was mol in San Luis,
the address OF The clergy OF San Luis melting the
people 10 support the war has had but little effect
there and none elsewhere. So ianalical had some
oil the clergy become that some lew Of them had
placed themselves al The head OF guerilla parties
in the vicinity OF Mexico.
MIR. Genry confirms The accounts heretofore
received Of the apathy existing among The people
Of Northern Mexico as 10 The war. Indeed, he
says, if any feeling exists among them, il is
desire lOr inc pItstECe VI iie hlutIlSdU diLnJ
The only persons who favor The war are The c'eI-
ey and The officers, both civil and military. In
The Stale OF Zacatecas the friendly feeling to-
wards the Americans is stronger Than elsewhere.
This State, il will be remembered, took part with
Texas in The commencement OF The struggle be-
tween The tederalis!s and cenralisis, and was
overrun by Santa Anna with his army. Since
then The people bear an inyeisrale hatred 10 him.
|, was al one time expected that General Taylor
would march upon Zacaiecas and take posses
sion OF ii. The people looked for his arrival with
anxiety and the day before Mr.; Gentry left there
a prominen, Mexican, al public festival, gave
as loast-"success TO General Taylor and The
American army" which was drunk hy The whole
company with applause. There is, therefore, but
little prospect OF the enemy receiving aid from
this quarlcr Of Mexico, either in men or money
