STILL LATER.

BY another arrival at New Orleans we
have intelligence from Brazos Santiago, up
10 the 2Sth. The Delta of the 3rd says:
By this arrival we learn that Gen. Scott
and suite had started for the mouth of the
Rio Grande on the morning of the 29th ult.
1t was not known how far he would proceed
up the river, but il was generally believed
that Camargo was his destination. Capt.
Wayne had been transferred from the staff of
Gen. Jesnp 10 that of Gen. Scott, and was
to accompany the latter ON his tour of obser

Great activity prevails in the Quartermas-

Gen. Jesup, who has just returned from
visit TO Matamor0s
Numerous rumors were ahOat about the
advance of the Mexicans from San Luis
-Potos, and the general impression among
the passengers OF the Edith is, that great
battle has been fought at Saldllo between our
army and Santa Annals forces. 1t was the
impression at The BRACES that Gen. Taylor
would be able 10 join Gen. Worth before The
enemy reached Sallillo. A rumor was cur
rent that Santa Anna had1hrown forward a
force of $1,000 belween-SSaltllO and Gen.
Taylor, with the view of eSsiing off the lat
Ier's approach, but il was not credited.
Gen. Butler with his forces had left Mon
ierey to join Gen. Worth. Gen. Lane left
Camargo on the ooh, and Gen. Marshall set
out the next morning with the remainder OF
his troops, leaving only Capt. Hunter and
Capt. Startwout with their respective COM
mands 10 project that point. An attack was
daily expected on this place at last accounts.
The last intelligence from Gen. Wool says
he was within ninety miles of Satillo, and
doubtless joined Gen. Worth in time 10 as
sis in repelling The enemy,
Col. Clarke, Military Gov. of Matamoros
had made a requisition Tor an additional force

hope of plundering the city. The large
supply of merchandise deposited there, holds
out the strongest inducement to the wound

ordered 10 enroll themselves for lis protec-

II is exceedingly dangerous TO venture

assassinations and murders had occurred in
the neighborhood of the town.
| In reviewing all the intelligence brought
by the Edith leaves painful anxiety for fur
Their intelligence from the Rio Grande. The

Edith left, and will doubtless be detained
there until something more definite than
mere rumor can be heard from our gallant
army. We anxiously await the result.
o. We are indebted to Mr.. L. Hopes

the 9Th inst, procured from the Steamer I'm
Gle Sam. We find very little of interest in
them later than the intelligence published
above. The steamship Alabama was hourly
looked for at New Orleans, and it was thought
would bring stirring news from the Army,
There was great anxiety felt at New Orleans
