From tte ". Q. Pieayunc, of the i3th inst. FROM GENERAL TlYL0R'S ARMY.

ihe steamer F.. A. ogden, Capt. Bowman. ar- rived Saturday morning from Brazos Santiago, whence she sailed on the 7th inst makine very fine run. Her news Is not without interest. We learn with great regret that Brgadier Gen. 1 Hopping died at Mer on the Ist inst The gan. eral was appointed from the western part ef the State of New York, and was a gentleman of ability well known in the politics of the State The brigade under his command at Mier has been broken up the 10th Infantry garrisoning Mata- 1 moras and Camargo, and the 10th Infantry Ger ralvo and Monterey.
 Gen. Lane's brigade was at the mouth of the river, expecting to embark about the sth inst The first transport which reached there would proceed to take the troops on board. Gen. Gushing arrived at Matamoras on the 3d inst accompanied by Lieut.. Col. Abbott. Cen C. is concentrating his brigade. as the several de- 1 tachments come down, at El Sabinito, near palo Alto. Deass battery, which was to have accom- panied Gen. Cushing has been ordered 10 remain with Gen. Wool, at tine express request of the latter, Our correspondent niludcs to the naiter in letter below Capt. Shower passed down the river with Gen Gushing, on his way to Washing ton. The Flag says he hopes 10 bring out bat tory and join Gen. C.'s brigade in place of Capt. Dcas.
 Capt Clarke, of the 2i Mississippi Riacs was at Matamoras the Sd inst, with detach- ment of recruits on the way to his regiment at Bucna Vista.
 Capt. Clinch was at inc mouth of the river on the 9th inst, with detachment of recruits fer the 18th Infantry, and would leave the next day for Gen. Cushings camp at FL Sabiai;o. Despatches have passed through Matanoras for Gen. Marshall, ut Monterey, to proceed to Vera Cruz without delay. The despatches were for warded by Lieut. A. N.

 Col R. l.. Temple arrived at Matamorus on the lst inst, with four companies of his regiment, the 10th lnfaiftrv
 The Flag says that Col Tibbatts, who was pro ceeding from Mier>to Monterey with six com panics of the 10th lnfaatry. escortng train, was attacked by large party oH Mexicans near Ramos, and succeeded in driving them of, with loss of two wounded We have the Bsst reason for be- lieying that the whole object of the Mexieans in this attock was puader. Only the day before Lieut.. Givens passed Up from Grralvo 10 Monterey with only twenty dragoons, and Gen. Cushingy7< who met Col. Iibbatts al Ramos) passed down the day after with guard of only twenty-five mounted men, and neither of them any thing of the yaerittcros. Col. 1ibbats and his men were under lire for some time, and conducted themselves with great intrePiGity.
 Intelligence was received at Buena Vista on the 2lth of August in a letter from San Luis Potos, by the way of Parras, that Gen. Seott's column had marched from PueblA. ani two days afterwards n rnmor reached there of the capituation of the city of Mexico. This illustrates the raPiiity with which intelligence travels in Mexico by verbal report.
 The Flag says that Mr. E. B. Dandy and Mons. Monthly, who were taken prisoners some four weeks since by Carvajal, have been set at liberty, and arrived at Matamoras the 3d inst. They state that they liberated by representing that they were not Americans They were taken us far Tuia. Mr. n. says that Gen. Urea left that place few days since with l200 men, for the ptr- pose of taking trains of goois between Camargo and Monterey. They represent thai Col. Carvajal-- the Flag and other papers always give his name Carrabajal. He writes it Caravajal twas in the vicinity of Soto Ia Marina with s,nall force

 of Ubserlaii0n. iO the american Invaders :;
 Soldiers and Volunteers of the American Army !! The war that you carry on against Mexico is the most unjust and barbarons that can be conceived. Civilized nations detest ii-they do not see in you the defenders of the rights of injured country, but merely the tools of man without foresight, without calculation, wha to obtain an unfortunate cciehfity has not feared seriously t0 compronise great people. Do not doubt it Every sensible American will consider this war oae oi thc most atrocious natnre--sent by Polk to Mexico, aad sentally iBiluitous, because il lS vadaic, and be- lies the severe republican principles that yoa all profess because tt serves Co convert the children of Washington and Franklin into robbers and sssas- sins.
 Sons Of America, Let the world see yoa ia better light than in tho miserable and eiioas char aeter you now represent Do not serve any longer the caprice of man destitute of virtue or good feeling. Abandon his lines, because they are not those of honorable men throw yourselves into the arms of the Mexican nation, who, magnanimeus and forgiviug viii forget the injuries you have committed. Here you will hnl gTaVn io cn!tiN ate and honest occupation whereby 10 gain the neces- sares of life without great faigue. You will find the symPathies of generous people, and the tran auiIiy of conscience otherwise net to be obtained because the uaan who attacks and desiroysthe prin ciple of Universal Morals, which brings together nations as il does individuals, cannot obtain it.
 Soldiers and Volunteers! Come to us, and atan- don the cause of erime--I wait yoar appearance, and will receive yoa as brothers.
 JOSEPH uRREA.
