Editors Delta Here we are, pretty
much after the old sort. Again all things
seem to denote movement ofthis column,
and th,nk, by the Isl ofJune, Old Rough
and Ready will pack his knapsacks my
self to the company Of Captain J. II Bean.
This young Captain is from Old Kentnck,
aud is good specimen Of thal noble state,
of gallaDtry aud courage Americans may
well be proud.
Youma look out for squalls at San
Luis. They say it is there The Mexicans
will make their final great struggle, but

From the Picayune we select the fol- ,
lowing items Of interesting news:
Ia conversation with Lieutenant AIKEN, {
Of the % Kentucky Foot, we learn that /
most deplorable duel occurred at China !
about the 2lst ultimo, between two Lieu
tenants in the Virginia regiment. The
news was taken to Camargo by Mr.. Dowd.
beef contractor at China, and was fully
credited by all at Camargo.
According to this report, the two Lieu
tenants--ope Of whom was named M ahan,
aud the name Of the other not being recol
iecled--fuugh, with muskets loaded with
ball and buckshot, and both parties were
killed. Most sincerely do we hope there
may be some exaggeration in the state
ment, but It. AIKEN leaves but little room
for hope. He fully believes it, and il was 9
generally credited at Camargo.
To tie first letter Of our correspondent +
below fears are again expressed as to the /
fate Of Col. Doniphan, and even Cap r
Pike. We publish the letters as written, n
but are most happy TO learn from Lt. t
AEen, tnat subsequent ~ VIE u"Ao VI o"' o

relyed ofCol. Donphan' advance towards /
Salute. lie had gone back to chihuahua

march for Saltilo. a
1t. AIKEN left Saltllo on the 18Th ult. r
Before his departure he learned from Gel t
Wool himself that Colonel Donphan was n
no doubt al Parras, and in a day or two q
W onld be 10. T.
The Saltilo correspondent OF the Plea e
yune says: s.
Upon reaching SaItillo I was delighted
10 fud that the place had not suffered in "
The slightest degree from the occup alton n
Of our forces. The streets were all clean
and in good rapair, and 10 every door and
at every window were senoras and senori e.
