GEN. TAYLOR'S MOVEMENTS.

GEN. TAYLOR'S MOVEMENTS.
The schooner VIM B. Hazard, Capt San
ders, from BTazos Santiago, arrived off the
southeast pass on the afternoon of the 25th
inst, and came up 10 the city on Sunday. She
left Brazos on the evening of the Goth and en-
countered contrary winds nearly all the time
for the last two days out the wind blowing
almost gale from the northwest. Our cor
respondent furnishes US with the following
items of news.
The party OF I'd and 81 Dragons which
was despatched after the guerriaIIa party who
attacked Lieut.. Campbell on the LIST inst, re-
turned without having been able to find the
party. They ascertained, however, that the
loss of the guerrillas had been more severe
than was at first supposed, the captain of the
band, the celebrated NIucho Martinez, the one
armed robber, having been killed as well as
six Or seven of his men, and quite as many
more wounded. The loss OF Lieut. Campbell
was as previously stated in the letter OF our
correspondent.
The command of Major Lane, which was
despatched 10 Parras after the Indians, arrived
there the day after the fair, the red men hav-
ing left the previous day, taking with them
about $500 cattle, horses and mules, driven
from the different ranches. A company I'M
der Capt. Adams was sent out after them but
had not returned to Encantada at last accounts
Lieut.. Dusenburry, of the Texas battalion,
had shot man in the thigh for mutnous con-
duct and it was thought MORALLY wounded
him.
On the 18th instant, a train was sent from
Monterey to Camargo, under the escort of
Capt. Buffers company Of Sd Dragons, and
two companies of the 10Th Infantry. Gen'l

the 9Th inst, and with his staff accompanied
by Gen. Wool and staff, turned his face home
ward lie encamped that night, at Ramos,
overtaking the train which started the day
before When near Marin the advance met
Mr. Van Allen, of New York, bearer of de-
spatches to Gen. Taylor, escorted by Captain
Hagan's company ID Dragons, and from the
communications or conversation of Mr.. Van
A. everybody was highly elated. The gen.
tleman intlmated that he brought the leave of
absence for Gen. Taylor; that eight thousand
more troops hal been called for which would
probably be sent to that line, and that it was
probable an advance would soon be ordered.
When General Taylor came up TO Marin, al
night, and received the dispatches, the bubble
burst and the probabilities of the bearer of de-
spatches turned out 10 be great improbabilitcs
the documents being of little moment
the only important one being copy of cor
respondence between the War Department and
Cen Scott, in which the former instructed the
{ latter that for certain character of supplies
he must in future depend upon the resources
OF the country, as no more would be sent to
the troops from the United States At Ma
rim, the agreeable intelligence was received
that on the 9th inst Lieut.. Colonel Webb, OF
