FROM the lilo
The steamship Mary Kngsland Capt Davis. arrived
yesterday morning from Brazos Santiago having sailed
on the 10Th instant
Capt. Davis reports that the Rio Grande was navgable
to Reynosa for the large class boats while those OF a
light draught can ascend TO CamaIgo.
The steamer Rough and Ready had started with troops
on board Tor Mer where the camp OF instruction has been
formed under Cen Hopping Col Belknap acting as in
spector
There was rumor at the Brazos when Capt Davis
lett that Urea with force of 5000 was about TO
make descent upon Reynosa. One company the way
to the camp of instruction had been landed at Reynosa
and the quartermaster was making every preparation to
defend the place.
Several bodies of the enemy have lately been seen on
the river, and is supposed to be Urreas object to attack
some of the depots wagon trains between Camargo and
Monterey.
A gang of desperadoes, commanded by man named
King, composed of Mexcans and people OF other nations
has been found the Brazos. Some OF the members
oil the gang have been taken prisoners and the rest dis
persed The rancho fequented by them burnt to the
ground
So far the report of Captain Davis extends We turn
the Matamoras Flag of the 10th Instant the latest
paper which has reached us We find in no coniirma-
ton OF the rumors about Urrea but others of very sim
liar import touching Carabaja The several stories pos
sess e consistency, and we dismiss them with much
incredibly.
We Gull the following items from the Flag:
Company 3, 18th infantry, 90 men and three officers,
commanded by LIST Lieut. Geo W. Clutter passed up the
river on Thursday The men were all recruited in Vir
gna, and are noble specimen of the chvarous sons OF
that ancient State The company has lost but
since us oigdnlZa0n and all are now IN ne health Lieut.
Clutter Is Fastening his command with all despatch to
the camp of instruction at Mier where three companies
OF the same regiment have preceded him.
The following does not agree with our last previous
advices from San Antonio:
A gentleman Just from San Antonio Texas informs ,ls
that Colonel Hays is making very slow progress in form
ng his new regiment. The men composing the recently
disbanded regiment collected from parts of
Texas, and with few exceptions have returned to their
homes, SO vexed at the trouble and expense they have
9een put To- that no inducements can make them return
The colonel has not given up but still has hopes Of rayng
enough boys to form the new regiment. p. II. Bell, u
most gallant officer and noble gentleman, has entered
lively INTO the recruiting service, and will be a candidate
Tor lieutenant colonel OF the regiment when raised
A MEXICAN LARIATED We were told last evening
that, few days ago. number of horses belonging to
the Quartennasters Department were "stampeded' and
run off. Three or four Meycans in the public employ
were sent after them After budding them together, and
while engaged in throwing ropes their necks, ii
strange Mexican observed officiating his services in
the same line Quick thought, larat was cast over
his head, and the moose drawn The suddenness and
force OF the action threw him the ground and dslo-
Gated his neck. Several horses, we learn, have been
ridden OFT in tnis way, at various times Some six or
seven horses, this occasion, escaped without the
United States brand being burnt upon them.
