Gen. TaYlOf'S Despatch.

HEAD-QUARTERs ARMY OF OCCUPATION,
Camp near Monterey, Dec. 8, 1916.
SIR:-As expect to march in few
days for Victoria, | consider the presen
a proper occasion TO explain somewhat ia
detail the dispositions which have beer
made, and which are contemplated, foI
the occupation and defence of this from
tier. With this view, enclose a sketch
exhibiting the line from parras to Tampi-
CO, and showing how a portion of that
line is naturally marked by the chain of
the Sierra Madrc.
1t will be seen at once that San Luis
POtosl is position almost equally distant
from the points of this line. This would
give force at San Luis very great ad-
vantage over us, were il not for the ma.
lure of the country and the communica-
tons; the regions between San Luis and
the mountains being scan:ly supplied with
water and subsistence and the road by
SaltilIo and Monterey being the only
practicable route for artillery across the
mountains. Without artillery the Mexi
can troops are not at all formidable, and,
think, have but little confidence in them.
selves. therefore consider the position
of Saltillo and Parras as of prime impor.
lance. With an intermediate post at Pa
tos, and the means by good road, of ra-
pidly uniting, if necessary, | deem the
columns of Brigadier Generals Worth and
Wool quite equal to hold that flank of the
line. shall, however, reinforce the for
mer General, particularly in cavalry, and
shall establish a reserve at this place to
support the advanced positions, should the
movements of the enemy require it.
Brigader General Wool is understood
to be now at Parras with his coumn-say
2400 strong, with six guns. Brigadier
General Worth has his headuuarters at
Saltillo-his command consisting of some
1900 regular troops, with eight guns. |
propose to reinforce him by two regiments
of volunteer foot, and a portion of the
Kentucky cavalry. Lieutenant Kearney's
company is all the regular cavalry force
can assign to him at present.
At Monterey will be the headquarters
of Maj. Gen. Butler, commanding the re-
serve. Two companies of artillery and
one of the weak infantry batallions (4th)
will compose the garrison of the place.
The troops of Gen. Buffers proper divi-
sion (Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will
be at this point, and in echelon on the
route hence TO Camargo and the mouth of
the Rio Grande, except those who may be
ordered to reinforce Gen. Worth, as above
indicated.
Tampico is now garrisoned by eight
strong companies of artillery and the AL.
ALBANIA regiment of volunteers, say lOO0I
electives. consider this force quite suf.
fcient to hold the place, controlling, as we
do, the harbor.
These considerations attracted
my attention to Victoria before the sur
render of TampIco; but | now deem it
more than ever important, for have rea.
son to believe that a corps of observation
is in that quarter, under the orders of gen.
Urrea-having its headquarters at lula,
and sending forward advanced parties as
far as Victoria.
Maj. Gen. Patterson has accordingly
been instructed to march from Matamo.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM ENGLAND.
Letters from Savannah of 10Th inst,
annouce the arrival there of a ship from
Liverpool with dates to Sih December.
Great activity prevails in The cotton
market, and 30, 900 bales were sold on the
7ih. The advance variously reported at
a4d.
Flour and grain had also advanced, but
no quotations are given.
This intelligence, it will be seen by re
terence 10 our report of the days bust
ness, has given a powerful Impulse to the
market here-saIes of cotton amounting
TO $4,000 bales, and OF Flour and Corn
to 10000 bbls., and $4,000 bushels.
The ship Ambassadress, arrived here
yesterday from Liverpool, from whence
she sailed on the Sth. The Captain bro'l

the Balize, and we were unable 10 obtain
any information by her, or that she brought
any letters. From the immense operas

~ The exhibit of the finances of the
State, by Gen' CLARK, the Treasurer, will
be found on the first page. At the date
9th January the Treasury was without
funds--in state of temporary suspension /;
but it is not doubted that in future all just
demands against the State will be prompt
ly met. There are still important reforms
to be effected in the expenditures of the
State government. n

81 The price of cotton is steadily adj
vancing. We predicted in these columns
months ago that average quality would be
worth bitt pound by lst March, and
urged all who could to hold on. The pre-
diction will be realized. The stock on
hand at Liverpool at last dates, was little
over 100000 bags, against upwards of
100000 same time last year.
The following shows receipts at New
Orleans on 23d of January for four years
last past;
1847 1916 1915 1914
Bales 39O,752 465 1894 47O,886 400, 600
There will be a still greater decline in
the comparative receipts for the remainder
of the season.

o. We are panied to hear that there has
already been, in consequence of the unu-
suaIly lnclement season, a great deal OF
sickness and numerous deaths, in the Cd
Mississippi Regiment. The Pamela and
Choctaw companies, particularly, have
suffered severely. The Regiment was to
have embarked from New Orleans about a
week ago, with sealed orders as to their
poiEl of destination. ~

n-T- Pierre Soule, the eminent attorney,
has been elected u. S. Senator from Lou

heard Mr. S. address jury in French, and
we shall never forget his deeP-mouthed
elocution, and remarkable impresslveness

Washington. DIR. Soule is an ardent, en-
thusiastic democrat.

0TST 1t will be seen that the proposition
to create the Office of Lieut.. General, with
view to supersede Scott and TAYLOR in
the command in Mexico, has been voted
down in the Senate by decided majority
we look upon this as the most unfortunate
occurrence since the commencement OF
the war. The votes of two or three demo-
cratic Senators from the extreme East. with
Calhoun and his appendages, united with
the wings, produced the result. If the
wings in Congress persist, as they daily do,
in declaring that they will not assume the
slightest responsibility of the war, but will
hold the administration to strict accounta-
biIty, surely common justice requires that
the administration should have the r-ivi-
lege of naming commander who shall be
cognizant of, and possess the ability and
energy to execute, its designs. But we
have long since ceased 10 look for any
thing like magnanimty or liberaity from
a party which adheres together only to ef-
feet schemes of legal plumber. The recent
course of the whig leaders, shows that to
overthrow the administration, to enrich a
few manufacturers by legal robbery, to
give to Shylock bankers the use and con-
troll OF the public money, they are ready to
barter their country's honor, to give, as far
as safety will allow, ''aid and comfort" 10
its enemies in war. 1t is not to be expect
ed that such men, their associates or fol-
lowers, will lose an opportu nifty to embar-
rass the administration, or render mil its
efforts for vigorous prosecution OF the
war. AS to the democrats who assist and
render etfectual these factious efforts, we
can only leave them in the company they
have chosen, with deVout wish that they
may soon be consigned TO ga political dam
nation so deep that the hand of resurrec-
ton will never reach them"
We suppose that now the war is to drag
Its slow length along under the guidance of
leader neither possessing nor deserving
The confidence of the government-the he
70 of hasty soup, with his ridiculous POM
posity and miserable inefliciency. No Off
GER, with particle of modesty, would
hold command when he knew that his |
'uperiors, responsible for his acts, preferred
another. We can only hope that the indo-
nitable energy and courage of our troops
nay in some measure atone for the inefi |
'iency of their leaders.
