LATE FROM THE ARMY-LOsS OF AN.
OTHER u. y. VESSEL.
By the arrival OF the steam ship McKim
n, New Orleans from Brazos Santiago, we
have dates from Monterey as late as The
29.h November. The following is all that
Is important;
Two regiments Of Indiana volunteers,
the % and 81, and Lieut.. Mackali's Capt.
TayIor's) battery had gone 10 SaiuIio, 10
Join Gen. Worth.
Gen. T~igg', division is on its march
fer Victoria.
Big. Gen. Hamer, one Of Mr.. Polk's
appointments, died at Monterey, few days
ago, Of inflammation Of the bowels. His
illness was OF very short duratlon-not
more, learn, than two DAYS.
Gen. Butler will remain IN command at
Monterey. | spoke Of this as somewha,
uncertain in a former letter.
Col. Taylor arrived at Matamorus two
days ngo, with dispatches for Gen. Pat.
! tefson.
By the MoK;m we nso learn tina, the l.
s. steamer Gopher broke her hog chat.
and steam connections in crossing the bal
90 Sunday, the 18th. She was however
enabled To get outside and come to nnc hol
J IN five fathoms water, but the wind blow
IN. strong from The south east and a hea
w sea running she was literally mashed Il
pieces and sunk at her anchors The l.
J 5, steamers De Rossett and J. K. Thomp
) son were despatched to her assistance ant
but barely succeeded in saving some fifty
, lives before she went down.
, Nothing very notable has occurred a
! Monterey or SaIllllo. Our dates from thu
! latter city come down TO The Both Of No
. yember. Ia The absence Of positive news
/ Il is satisfactory TO have the Mexican ru
mors IN regard TO the army entirely set 8
rest by the silence Of our various CORES
pondents. All of them complain of the
cold, and one officer writes; F" If YOU come
out, don't forgei a cloak or blanket coat,
with lots Of bedding. IT'S cold as char
y here, and no fuel
We can only find room for two extracts
from our letters. The one from Monte.
rey IS not very late, but mentions incidents
We lave not elsewhere seen.
