Latest from Gen. Taylor--Intsresting.

lAtest from Gcns OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Dispatches have been received from General Taylor,
dated the cad December, near Monterey, representing
that he had left that place the 18TH for Victoria hav
ing previously put in motion the troops destined for that
point. AT Montemorelos junction was effected on the
18th with the Cd infantry and I'd Tennessee regiment of
foot from Camargo; and il was intended, with the whole
force $500 men) to march, the 10th, for Victoria.
But the evening of his arrival at Montemoreos de-
spatch arrived from Gen Worth, commanding at Sao,
with the intelligence that Santa Anna designed to take
advantage of the division of force towards Victoria and.
BY rapid movement to strike heavy blow at Saltilo
and, if successful then at Gen. Woos force at Paras
Under these circumstances and with means of udg-
ing how far this information might be well founded the
general returned to Monterey with the regular force in
order to be in position to reinforce Sao if necessary
The volunteers under General Qutman reinforced by
field battery, ordered to continue their march and
effect junction with General Patterson at Victoria, while
General Taylor returned to Monterey with Gen Twggs's
division. now increased by the I'd infantry
In the meantime General Butler and Gen. Wool, being
advised by Gen. Worth of probable attack upon his po-
son, moved rapidly to join him with all the available
force at Parras and Monterey, while orders were de-
spached by General Butler to hasten up troops from the
rear The latter general proceeded in person to Sao,
and assumed the command, agreeably to instructions
which had been given by General Taylor before his de-
parture, TO meet a case like this
General TAYLOR had proceeded beyond Monterey on his
way to Saltillo when he met the Goth by de-
spach from the post, announcing the early arrival Of
Gen Woods column, and also that the expected concen
tration and movement of the Mexican troops upon that
position had not taken paceindeed that their advanced
posts had rather been withdrawn. Deeming the force
there and soon to be at Salto quite sufficient TO repe
any demonstration at this from San Luis Potos
General Taylor did think it worth while to throw for
ward Gen Twgsss division TO that place, and after rest
ing it day, designed putting it again in march for Vcto
ria, to which point he was to proceed himself.
Gen Patterson supposed to be then well on his
march from Maamoros TO Victoria when his DIVISION
except the Alabama rangers (n garrison at Iampico) will
be brought together With force holding in observa-
ton the passes from Tua, the garrison at Tampco may
be reduced with advantage to the service.
