b The steamship Telegraph arrived last
I'evenins from Vera Cruz, having touched

We understand that she left Vera Cruz

ever. We received no news or letters
from that city.
We are ndebed 10 the commander OF
the Telegraph for copy Of the Melamo-
ras Flag of the 4lh inst.
Quite the most important article in The
Flag is the following:
Advance upon San uis.-From Major
Arthur, formerly quarermaster al Ceralvo,
we learn that Geu. Wool has received or.
ders> TO proceed with the advance Of Gen.
Tayior's column. on The 20th insl., in the
direction of Encarnacion, some twenty
leagues from Buena Vista, where he will
establish depot, into which three months
ralions will be thrown. The army will
then advance upon San Luis and comnu.
nicaion be opened with rampico or Tus.
pan. from whence supplies will thereafter
be received, All the mules aud other
means of transportation have been ordered
above aud activity prevails throughout .he
whole department..
The Flag gives sad accounts Of oulrag-
es operated in the yicinitys of Matamoras,
by Mexicans upon their own counlrymen
and counlrywomen. The same paper
mentions that the resident Mexicans near
Parras. lately applied TO Gen. Taylor 90
project them from armed bands OF their
own countryrnen, sentthither for the eT.
press purpose ofravaging the country aad
destroying The crops. The Flag thinks
lIla, aid should be furnished them.
The Flag has more rumors from Gen.
