Interesting from the Army.
! Late letters have just been received a
Washington from the army, down to th,
7th January, from Victoria. in Mexico
They state that Brigadier General Quit
man had, on the 29th December occupie ed
The city Of Victoria, the capital of the
State Of Tamaulipas. The enemy had q
body ofsome l 500 cavalry IN the town
\ with its advanced picket at Santa Eu.
gracie; but it fell back as General Quit
man approached, and is understood to be
now at Jaumare, 10 the direction of Tnla
Al Tula, there is a strong division Of OBJ
servation Hnder the command Of Gen.
Valencia.
An examination Of the mountain pass
leading TO TuIa. shows that il is entirely
impracticabl for artillery or wagons
Such is also believed to be the clfaract or
of the Santa Barbara pass, which opens in
the direction of Tampico.
General Tay lor arrived at Victoria with
the division of Brig Gen. Twiggs on the
4th January, and was joined on the same
day by the force which Major Gen. Pat
terson conducted from Matamoros. The
force then collected at Victoria is more
than 5000 strong in excellent health and
in capital condition for service.
1t was there unoflicially known that
Gen. Scott was then in the country und er
orders from the government. Gen. Tay
or would probably emain at Victoria,
until lie should hear from Gen. Scott, and
determine what disposition to make Of he
troops.

blume can possibly attach to Lieut.. Col
May, who commanded the escort, for this
unfortunate Occurrences.
Newspapers had been received from tie
city Of Mexico to the 18Th Of Dec mber,
at which date the Congress had taken no
action ia regard TO the war or the election
of President. The country seems to be
(says one ofthe letters) in very distracted
condition, and The tone Of the public press
more desponding than heretofore.
A letter has also been received from
Tampico, stating that the writer had just
arrived from Tamanlipas, where he lef'
