General Cadwalader marched with his
command from the place where he reached
Col. Mcintosh, seven miles this side Of
the Pueute Nacional, on the 10th instant,
reaching the bridge about sundown,
which he found occupied by the guerfil-
las, as well as the heights around.
Lieut.. Blakely, of the VoItiguers, was
detached with section of mountain
howitzers and twenty men, and, supported
by the infantry, they were ordered TO
charge the bridge, which they did ia gak
liant style, and carried il but regret TO
say. that of Lieut.. BIS detachment, he
lost one man killed and four wounded,
Lieut.. B. included among the latter,
having received musket ball in the left
leg. They also lost fye horses, but =

lantry in this particular charge The lll-

Cadwalader left there to proceed on his
journey, and they report that on the 18th
they heard the report Of firearms iii tiie

IMPORTANT IF TRUE.

The steamer James l.. DY has
brought to New Orleans one days later
accounts from Vera Cruz, being to the
afternoon of the 10Th instant.
The most important part of her intell-
gence, as we learn from the Deif0. is the
aattering prospect of peace which is rep
resented by verbal report, that, before
the steamer sailed, information had been
received at Vera Cruz that Generals
ScoTT and WORTH. with the main body
of the army, had advanced ds far as Rio
FRO without opposition, and were met at
that place by deputation from the capi-
tai with propositions for peace. The
tenor of these propositions is not known,
but they were of such nature that Gen.
ScoTT refused TO accept them, and was
determined TO push on his forces to the
capital. 1t was supposed, however, from
the deep anxiety felt by the new govern
ment to stay the march of our forces on
the capital, that further concessions would
be made TO Gen. ScoTr before he took
up his line of march from Rio Frio.
Tampico has been threatened with an
attack from the Mexicans, who were re-
ported to be 1900 strong in the vicinity
of the city.
On the night Of the 18th instant, de-
monstration was made by Mexicans in
Tampico 10 rise. The American author
ities, however, had timely information oil
the contemplated movement, and to sup
press ii, if attempted, called out the troops,
who lay on their arms all night. There
was then no demonstration OF revolt
made.
On the 18th instant, party of Mexi-
can lancers attacked the ontpostS at Tam
pico and drove the sentlnels into the
city. On the 10Th party OF Ranciieros
attacked the pilot station, and were greeted
by discharge from half dozen mus
kets, when they retreated

FROM GEN. TAYLoR'S ARMY.
coraEspoSDRNcE OF THE n. o. rlcAyuNE.
Monterey, MExIeo, MAY 80. 1917.


When wrote you last we were full OF
the expedition to San Luis, and active
preparations were making Tor march at
an early period, but now every thing IS
Knocked in the head. Seven of ten regI-
ments have received orders to repair to
Vera Cruz and join Gen. Scott, which
completely strips Gen. Taylor of the
troops now at the Brasos who were to
form part OF his force, and leaves him NJ
terly powerless. H9
Il would be utterly useless TO attempt
an advance into the interior with less
than six thousand men, andit would re-
quire at least two thousand to keep opea
the line of communication from Salnllo TO
Brasos. lfihis last order is complied
with, as il must be Of course, Gen. Tay-
lor's whole force will consist of the VIr-
ginia, Massachusetts, North Carolina,
and Mississippi regiments, six companies
of regular artillery, one regiment OF dra-
goons, one regiment of Texan horse, and,
say, one battalion Of volunteer cavalry,
composed of re-enlisted volunteers. These
will scarcely number 5000 all told, and
to leave garrison forces will reduce the
column TO 1900. With this force it
would be quixotic to attempt to move,
and you are well aware that it is matter
Of great uncertainty when sufficient
number of troops can arrive at the Btasos.
Thus Gen. Taylor 10 prevented from
bringing an arduous, hard-fought CAM
paign TO brilliant termination.
The abandonment of the San Luis ex-
pedi,ionis the topic of conversation and
cause OF universal regret. | believe Gen.
Taylor freely admits the necessity OF
Gen. SCOTS having more troops and
speedily, and can only regret that a suf-
fcient number of troops have not been
forwarded.

BALTIMORE 81 OHIO RAIL ROAD.
The Baltimore correspondent OF the
National Era holds the following language
OF the conduct of the Baltimore and Ohio
Company towards Baltimore, Pittsburgh
and other places:
The course os the Railroad company
in relation TO the matter, has, 10 my mind,
been standing insult TO this community,
and an instance OF most criminal tamper-
ing with the interests Of the public, while
the way in which the Pittsburgh and Con
nellsvilIe company has been used as a
.'cal's paw" would be positively into!era-
bic to any people less patient and foibear-
ing than our Pittsburgh neighbors! In
deed, this whole Railroad courtship has
beer carried on in mode decidedly CO.

ALETTER FROM GEN. TAYLOR

FROM THE CINCINNATI ''sIGNAL."
The circumstances under which the
following letter was received by the Edi-
tor are regarded as a warrant for its pub
lication. We felt it our duty, when the
first demonstrations were made in favor
of Gen. TAYLOR for the Presidency, to
dwell upon the subject at considerable
length. We were desirous that some of
the suggestions contained in our article
should meet the eye of General Taylor,
and therefore enclosed II TO his address,
with aiew words of reference to our po-
sition as Journalist. In reply to that
communication we have received the ad-
mirahle and significant letter which we
take pleasure in laying before our readers:
