LATER FROM TIE ARMY.

israzoss. CT Wool left near saltiIIo-
MEXICAN Maranders, sc.
Ny the arrival last evening fthe steam
ship McKim, Capt. Pllsbury, from Brazo
cia Galveston, we have dates from the for
mer place up to the gath January and iron
the latterup the 29th.--The McKin
remained at Galveston long enough for th,
editors there to make up the intelligence
and from the News we make up the follow
ing summary.
BY far the most important news is the
arrival al the Brazos of Gen. Worth with
his command. He arrived there on the
23d ult by way Of Camargo. The News
says that Gems. Scott and Worth are to
have command Of the main and regular
army which is now concentrating at Tam
pico or atsome, place 10 the enoigh ghborhood
The new recruits have their place ofren-
devious at the new island Of Lubos, about
sixty miles 10 the south of Tampico. The
opinion is almost universal that move.
ment is now to be made against Vera
Cruz. 1t is understood that place is to be
invested both by land and water. Col.
Harpey, with five companies of the Cd
Dragons, was expected in Malamoros on
the 2lst ult., on which day Col. Duncan
arrived there, and his battery was hourly
expected. Lieut.. Kearney had arrived
with his company the day before.
From he News we also learn tina, Gen.
Taylor has returned from Victoria TO
Monterey with small escort. He is to
remain at the latter place in command Of
the volunteers. His orders to this effect
proceed from Gen. Scott, who now holds
the chief command.
Gen. Wool was in command at Saltillo
or in the neighborhood, retaining his orig
inal force, 5000 men. He was encamped
on an elevated and commanding position
ten miles TO the south Of Sailillo on the
road to San Luis Potosi. This place is
called Buena Vista, and gives Gen. Wool,
with battery of twelve pieces of ord
nance, command ofthe only passable route
TO and from San Luis His orders are to
maintain his position.
Col. Hardin and his regiment from IL
linois-a part Of Gen. Wools command
are spoken Of in the highest terms. The
discipline Of this regiment is said to have
been carried TO an almost incredible de-
gree of perfection. In fact, the whole of
General Wool's army is represented as
composed of excellent troops, in whose
valor and good conduct every confidence :
may be placed.
The country from Reynosa to Camargo
and Meir aud thropghlo Monterey, is flls
ed with marauding Mexicaps. robbing
and nurderipg. wherever they can do 50
with impunity.
The, kindness and hospitality OF the
Mexican ladies at Parrss are highly eulo. I
yized. Al the time Of Gen. Wool's depar- /
ure from that place there were thirteen :
Invalid soldiers too much worn by sickness d
o accompany the army.
On this occasion some fifty or sixty n
Mexican ladies, favorable to the Ameri- Y
ian cause, visited the hospital, every one C
If whom sought it as favor that she nigh. q
be permitted to take home one of those q
'ufering soldiers, where she might be able O
10 nurse aud restore him TO health. All q
of course. could not be gratifed in this '
benevolent desire, and great was the dis .
appointment Of those who hal to return i
without an American soldier. Another +
'lmilar case is given of the two daughters I
# Don Lorenzo Yarto, a citizen of Parras,
Who toek a sick soldier in their charge, f
md for several days 10 succession they I
,ept a constant watch over him, the one {,
itting by his bedside by day, and the 9TH o
n performing the same service by night. Il
These instances Of kindness and humanity a
ire related by DR.. Woodw orth, who is
irect from Parras, and should be record-
d. They will certainly not soon be for
.otton by those who have thus had their OIL
offerings alleviated. d
A Mr. Laing, who has been engaged in fl
he wine trade between Parras and Chi o
uahua, recently returned fror the latter a
;ity, and reports that Gen. Guilty, late a
Governor ofChihuahua, W as posted at San d
sossha as early as the 10th Of December, q
nth force of 1000 citizen soldiers or a
with view to intercept Gen. h
Woei, who was expe cted to march upon :
chihuahua from Monclova. d
The above is all the intelligence of i'm q
portance we can find. The arrival OF r
Gen. Worth, with his division, at the Bra
eos, is of fmoment, as it would prove al> G
most conclusively that an immediate at 7
Jack upon Vera Cruz, BY land, is contem> 4
plated. We shall soon hear of stirring
svents.
