LATER FROM THE ARMY.

TheU. S. steamship Eudora, Capt. Wilcox,
arrived at New Orleans on the 18th inst. The
Eudora left the Brazos on the 18th, and brot
as passenger Mr.. o. Hammond, as bearer OF
dispatches from Gen. Scott, to Washington.
There was no news of importance from the
army at the Brazos, when the Eudora left. Mr..
Gillespie, who was a prisoner at San Luis, and
released by Santa Anna, has returned to Mon
terey. Mr.. G. reports that the number OF
troops at San Luis, when he left, at 81 900,
with large additional force somewhere in the
vicinity. He also states that the troops were
drilled every day, and that the most perfect
subordination existed in the Mexican lines
that there were number OF foreign officers
with the Mexican army. A correspondent OF
the Matamoras Flag, writing from Camargo,
under date Of the Sd inst, states that Mexi-
can reported at that place, that the day pre-
vous battle had been fought in the vicinity
of Victoria, between Gen. Quitnam, at the
head of 1000 volunteers, and Gen. Urea, at
the head OF $4,000 regular Mexican troops.
The officers at Matamoras did not give this re-
port any credit, but the correspondent OF the
Matamorss paper thinks that it is true. Gen
Taylor was marching towards Victoria at the
head OF 5000 troops So that, in any event
if Gen. Quitman found himself too weak, hG
could fall back upon old Rough and Ready

PASSAGE OF THE LOAN BILL.

Well, Congress is at last doing something
towards prosecuting the war with vigor. On
Thursday, the 2lst inst, a bill passed the
House of Representatives by a tremendous
majority, Q66 ayes to % nays,> authorizing
the President to borrow the sum of twenty
three millions of dollars, for the purpose OF
defraying the expenses of the Mexican war.
1t is left discretionary with the President
whether he will issue Treasury notes of de-
nomination not less than fifty dollars, or wheth-
eT he will issue stock redesmable in twenty
years, the faith Of the United States being
pledged for the loan, in whichever way effec-
ted. This is coming up to the work bravely,
but, as we have observed in another place,
rather tardily. For why could not this bill
have as well been passed at the beginning OF
the session. Has delay made the amount any
less The President. in his message, told the
representatives Of the people that such an a
mount Of money would be absolutely necessa-
~ to enable the country to carry on the war
as it became this great nation. and still here is
the middle OF the session, and the measure has
only yet passed one House OF Congress. We
were never more delighted than to observe
from the proceedings the thorough rebuke
which the Northern abolition faction received
at the passage OF the bill Mr.. Winthrop, OF
Massachusetts. endeaVored to tack on an a.
mendmcnt to the bill. to the effect that slavery
should be forever prohibited in any territory
which the United States might henceiorth &C
quire, but thanks to the patriotism of the
House of Representatives, it was killed, and
this frebrand extinguished. We are really
rsjoiced to witness the passage of this bill, as
il will give the country assurance that now
the war Is to be prosecuted with vigor. The
revenues derived from the sales Of the public
lands are specifically pledged for the payment
OF the interest on this lOan-a much better use
than to distribute them amongst the various
States. as proposed by the Whigs,

ner in which these said offices have been fill
ed. Not one OF the men appointed have any
pretensions to military talents. Not one of
them. as | am informed, had volunteered, and
not one of them can be said. by the warmest
friends of Mir. Graham, to be such a man as is
capable of leading the brave sons OF North
Carolina worthily in the battle field. But just
look at the matter Here is Gen. Wilson, a
man of talents, man known to the whole
State, man whose weight of character is
such as to give him the very highest stand a.
mongst the gallant spirits who have voiun-
teered, man, too, who had eyinced the nobll-
ity and patriotism of his soul by volunteering
himself, and raising two full companies-a
man, too, who had been recommended to his
Excellency for one of the Field Officers by a
majority of the Legislature. Now we ask the
reader if, in Justice TO the people of North
Carolina-in Justice to. the Volunteers, and in
Justice to Gen Wilson, his Excellency ought
not-nay, if he was not bound-to 6 i've Gen.
Wilson an appointment But Wing caucus
had determined otherwise, and MIR. Graham
did the bidding OF that caucus. The course
which the Wing party have pursued in this
whole matter, ought. if they had never done a
wrong act before, to kill them forever in the
old North State. Just look at the matter in
another aspect will venture to assert that
two-thirds, at any rate. of the Regiment are
Democrats, and here are Wing commanding
officers appointed over them. do not pretend
to saw that this would be matter of objection
under other circumstances If the Wings ap-
pointed were better than could be obtained in
the Democratic ranks, or if they were such as
could name in the Wing ranks, | would have
nothing to say. But when see the Governor
of North Carolina appointing men who have
no claims upon the post whatever, merely be-
cause they are Wings, cannot forbear speak
ing my sentiments on the subject | ask the
people OF North Carolina to keep these things
in mind. The day will come when those who
have acted in this disgraceful manner will
have to render an account for their doings,
That will be day OF retribution.

under Gen. Quitman, reinforced by 6eld-bat:
terry, were ordered to continue their march and
effect n junction with Gen. Patterson at Victo-
ria, while Gen. Taylor returned to Monterey
with Gen. Twiggs's division, now increased
by the ID infantry.
"In the meantime Gen. Butler and General
Wool, being advised by Gen. Worth OF pro-
bable attack upon his position, moved rapidly
to join him with all the available force at Par
ras and Monterey, while orders were despatch
ed by Gen. Butler, 10 hasten up troops from
the rear. The latter General proceeded IN per-
son to Saltillo, and assumed the command, a.
greeably to instructions which had been gwen
by Gen Taylor before his departure, to meet
case like this.
Gen Taylor had proceeded beyond Mon
terey on his way to Saltillo, when he was met
on the goth by despatch from the post, an
nouncing the early arrival OF General WooPs
column, and also that the expected concentra-
ton and movement of the Mexican troops up
on that position had not taken place-lndeed,
that their advanced posts had rather been
withdrawn. Deeming the fo:ce there and
eoon to he at Saltillo quite sufficient to repel
any demonstration at this season from San
Luis Potosi, Gen. Taylor did not think itworth
while to throw forward Gen. Twiggs's dlvi-
sion to that place, and after resting it day,
designed putting it again in march for Veto
ria, to which point he was to proceed himself.
"Gen Patterson was supposed to be then
