From Gen. TaylOr'S ARMY.

The steamer James l.. Day touched at
the Brazos, on her voyage from Vera Cruz
on the 7,h inst. We received no letters
from the Bio Grande by this arrival It.
Col. May and Lieut. French and others
came passengers from the mouth of the RI
yer.
We have conve-sed with an intelligent
oficer-one who has been with Gen. Tay-
lor from Palo Alto to Buena Vista-who
left Monterey on the Goth April, who in
forms US tha, Gen. Taylor's army was melt
ing away by reason of the expiration of the
his command. He has neither men nor
he enemy's country. Indeed, the whole
line Of communication from the Brazos to
Saltilo will presently be in very exposed
situation. The low stage of water of the
Rio Grande had made the communication
with the Brazos very tedious and difficult
For every lack Of material of war the Gen
eral must keep his encampment with
force.
Toreplace the regiments about returning
10 the u. S., a portion Of the Cd Mississippi
regiment had arrived at Monterey; but
the small pox had broken out among them
and disabled many of them. The Virginia
regiment was in that neighbourhood, and
part of the North Carolina troops. These
were employed in escorting trains from Ca
margo to the mountains. From all appear
ances this column of the army will be sta
tionary for time. Every thing was quiet
for once.
This state Of inactivity must chafe the
spirit that overan the valley Of the Rio
Grande and first made the Mcxicans to
blanch before the legions Of the North.

MANGO DE CLAvA, is the name of Santa
Annals vast estate near Vera Cruz. It
means club handle.
Inc curious tradition was informally
mentioned to the Society, of the existence
OF an Arabic inscription on the walls of
the Castle of St. Juan dc Ulua. Such an
assertion has been made, and as all his
torlcal probability is in favor of the report,
it is one of sufficient dignity to occupy the
attention of the Society. In the ranks of
Cortes there were doubtless Moorish de-
scendants. They were the Artisans and
the architects Of Spain.
The conquest of Granada occurred but a
few years before the invasion of Cortes,an
the christianizcd Moors are known to have
existed in Spain century after that period.
They continued to write christian books and
formulas of religion in Arabic characters.
1t is equally curious, that the Mexican
man of war brig captured by our squadron
in the Pacific. was called Malek Adhcl, Just
Kaag. This indicates the power of tradi-
ton and blood in perpetuating language
The Rev. Mr.. White brought 70 the no.
tice of The Society Mahammedan coin,
which was recently found in Lumpkin coun
ty, of this State. Similar coins have been
found in Illinois and other Western States.
The early labors of French and Spanish
Missionaries in these countries, is sufficient
to explain this fact. These Missionaries
having been nee employed by the Propa-
ganda in the Eastern World, brought over
with them these coins as "reminiscences of
the fields of their pious labor.
