Very respectfully, your obedient servant
WIN. L. MARCY,

Letters have been received from Vera Cruz, which
give some accounts of the state of affairs at Puebla and
of the movements of Major Lallys detachment. The
most important information which they give has been
anticipated by the letters have published from the
New Orleans Picayune. General Scott is reported to
have sent on Twggs's command the Sh, TO be fol-
lowed by Worth, Quitman, Pierce, &C., 10 the capital.
Major Lay had been early attacked by the gueras but
reinforcements of several companies, ammunition &C.
had been despatched to his assistance from Vera Cruz.
In the charges which had been made upon his dctach-
ments, two captains from the Virginia line had been
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Caldwell and Cummngs-who were
to be sent back to Vera Cruz. Major Lay writes that
he was to advance the next day 10 the next watering
place. and hoped to be joined by renocements before he
reached the National Bridge Some solicitude is felt
about his advance as this is the smallest train which has
left for some time for General SCOTS camp.
The last arrival from Vera Cruz three days later
brings no further account OF his march, which is
sidered by the Pcayunes correspondent favorable
sign.
1t is with deep regret that announce the death OF
Colonel Louis ID. Wilson, distinguished and gal
liant son of North Carolina who was to have COM
manded the detachment But violent attack OF the
fever arrested his march, and finally terminated in his
Iamented death Colonel Wilson one of the strong
est democrats in the great county of Edgecombeor 20
years member of the egslaure--and in 1923, the
speaker of the senate He left the Legislature for the
purpose of offering up his life in the military service Of
his country He was bachelor, and near 60 years OF
age.
