Dear We are still withoutany de-
finite news here as TO the prospects of peace or
war. The reports which reach us are of the
most contradictory character, and il is lmpos-
sible to make any thing out of them. One
day we hear that the terms OF a treaty have
been nearly arranged, and the nsxt, that the
Mexicans are In active preparation for more
vigorous prosecution OF the war, and are ac-
tually investing Gen. Scott, and cutting off his
communication with Vera Cruz. In this
state Of things, must ask you, therefore, to
look elsewhere for information as regards
the true condition of affairs. Here, all is in
activity and deep repose. and likely TO remain
so. from every thing can learn of the amo unit
of force which is 10 be thrown upon the line (;
although general order, understand, was
read on parade at Camp, few evenings ago,
announcing the probability Of an early forward
movement Ii may be, however, and think
it more than probable that j, was only intend
ed by the Commanding Officer to stimulate the
troops, and keep them up more strictly TO their
duty. which the very lis;essness Of our lives
is rather uniting us for. No one, who has
not experienced it, can form any Just idea of
the irksomeness of mere camp or garrison du-
~. IL is to the soldier what the dead calm at
sea is TO the sailor-and any change, even the
storm of battle, as in the case of the latter a
CONFUSION Of the elements, is considered pre-
ierable.
5elievd have not mentioned heretofore
that we have our revenue system OF internal
duties in full operation here and il is produc-
ing a handsome income. Often two hundred
and sometimes as much as FIVE hundred dol
lars, are taken in, am told, in day. In a
former letter, think minated my difficulty

and sos men, among whom BIZ were woun-
ded and sck-Major Lally is siek-the horses
are worn out--for which reason j: is supposed
they will remain here some time. Ii is said
thai Father Jarauta will attack them to night
but nothing positive.

ia accounting for the rise Of such CITY as
Saltillo in a locality which presents to the oo-
servation apparently so few advantages. ~
seemed to me, indeed, like city 10 desert
for, comparatively speaking, II IS SUCH when
we contrast the size and population o. the
place with the poverty or neglected coEdiuon
or the lands tor many miles 10 all directions
around il. That mystery. however. is now
solved | understand that Salttlio has been,
from its earliest foundation, the seat of an ex-
iensiye contraband or smuggling trade, and
that TO this il is indebted for all its importance.
The Mexicans are now celebrating High
Mass in their Churches. and il is said that the
services are 10 continue for nine DAYS. In the
principal Church here, they have a number OF
Banners displayed, and fine Band of Mar
tial Music. What all this means, If any
thing. do not pretend even to conjecture. II
NAV be that these warlke exhibitions are mere.
~ IN accordance with their common custom,
for there is cooperation and mutual depen-
dence, no doubt, between the Priesthood and
the Military, in the management OF the poor,
oppressed people Of the country, for their own
advantage.
There has been no material change 10 the
health of the Company within the last few
days. We now report twelve on the sick list.
One more has been discharged, (preston
Brown,) and another would be, (Lewis Ter
rill } if he were able 10 travel. A Board OF
Surgeons has been appointed to examine all
cases for discharge, so that the probability Is
that prompt relief viii be afforded in future to
those who deserve it, while the service will be
more efiectuaiy guarded against impositlons.
Our Regiment at Camp, am glad To hear
has become much more healthy. Some san
atary regulations have been adopted to keep
out the trashy fruits from the Camp, and no
doubt the improvement is principally owing
to this measure The North Carolina troops,
however, still suffer greatly. They have had
as many as four funerals in day. Unjust be
owing to the way they cook their food.
1t may be gratifying to our friends at home
to know that our Colonel (Hamuamck) still
maintains his former reputation as drill Off
Ger. He is regarded as among the very best
Irregular or volunteer,) in the service. His
health has greatly improved.
Yours truly.

We have been shown letter from Mr..
JAMES EVANS, one ofthe Virginia Volunteers,
to his father, Washington Evans, Esq, OF this
place, dated at Buena Vista on the LIST day of
August. The writer expresses an opinion that
If there is a forward movement of the brigade
under Gen. Wool, it will not be to San Luis
but 10 Hacatecas, as that point is the most de-
slrabe TO occupy from the fact, that the Mexi-
cans receive from It their principal supplies of
provisions, sc. He says il is understood that
the field officers Of the Virginia regiment are
OF the opinion, that no further advance will be
made into the enemy's country. The health
Of the Virginia regiment was fine, two men
only having died during the past two months.
The North Carolina regiment were suffering
severely from disease, the mortality in their
RANKS snll averaging one, and sometimes two
day. So great has been the ravage Of dis
ease in their ranks that they could not have
been thinned much more had they been in bat
tie. Mr.. Evans states that his health is as
good as it ever wac in his life, and that young
MaunselI and Smith, also from Cumberland,
are perfectly well. He remarks that the Loco
focos in the brigade are coming out every day
and declaring themselves in favor of Gen. Tay-
for the Presidency Cumberland Ciritlaa.

The other note is as follows:


JALAPA, Aug. %, l847.
Major LalIy with his command is still here,
and will probably remain here some time
The guerrilIas have all disappeared from this
neighborhood, but where they have gone
am unable to say. Aburto, the guerrilla chief,
died at Jalapa few days since. some say Of a
wound received in one of bis attacks on Maj.
Lally's command, and others by ever.
edo not entertain any doubt that the train,
as mentioned above, had passed Perote and
gone on in safety TO Puebla.
Intelligence reached Col Wilson on the
morning Of the 9th ult. that Lieut.. David
Henderson, Of Capt Fairchild's company of
Dragons, and his party who were sent by
Capt. Wells ON the 18th Of August 10 apprize
Major Lally ofthe approach Of reinforcemenis,
were all shot by the guerrillas. There is little
or no doubt OF the correctness of this sad intel
ligence. Lieut.. Henderson was a resident Of
New Orleans, and but recently embarked as a
volunteer in his country's service. lie was
printer by profession, man of courage and
enterprise, and his fate will be sincerely la
mented by bis numerous friends.
1t is now generally believed that Captain
Besancon's company went up with the train
under Major Lally.
CORRESPONDING OF THE PIcAyUNE.

The Treasury.
The Treasury has been working along at dead strain
for the last quarter and by the time Congress comes to-
gether there will be . call for funds The register shows
balance subject to draft OF some three millions but
then there drafts subject to this balance Of at least
ten millions, when all the unpaid due bills Of the army
taken into the estimate There Is doubt that the
first bill passed by the next Congrsss will be bill to bor-
money, and that the second will be bill to curail
the expenses Of the Mexican war; still In operation by
crcumscrbing the Of territory to be occupied by
Scott and Taylor.
1t is intimsted that Mr. Walker will persist in tax
tea and coffee and that in addition to thi to exc out
the schedules Of 49, he will advise direct tax gold
and silver exceeding hundred dollars in value
and also whiskey tax extra taxes to stop when the
public debt is quidated
As Congress meets the people will be permit
ted an ocular inspection of the Mexican giraffe. The
glory Of the thing nicevery excellent but the
gatherr follows In the wake the recruiting sergeant
and that makes 1t bad. Ell PADRE.
