Latest from Cen. Taylor's Army.
BY the steamer James L, Day, Capt. Wood,
we have accounts from the BrazOs to the 28th
ult, and a letter mail from the army Of General
Col. Jeff. Davis's regiment of LIST Mississippi
Rifles, and Cd Kentucky Infantry, under Major
Frv, were at the Brazos on the 28th, and to sail
on the following day for this port, The Ken
tuckians have with them the remains OF Col.
Mckee, Lieut.. Col. Clay, Capt. Willis and 1t
Powell, of their regiment, and also those OF
Capt. George Lincoln, all Of whom fell glOri-
Ously at Buena Vista. Both regiments, Missi'-
sippi and Kentucky, were in fine health,
In conversation with Lieut.. AIKEN, OF the
end Kentucky Foot, we learn that a most de-
plorable duel occurred at China about the 2lst
ult., between two lieutenants 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. Ac-
cording to this report, the two lieutenants-one
Of whom was named Mahan, and the name Of
the other not being recollected-fonght with
muskets loaded with ball and buck shot, and
both parties were killed. Most sincerely do
we hope there may DO some exaggeration in
the statement, but Lieut.. AIKEN leaves but liz
tie room for hope.
News had been received at Saltillo of Col,
Doniphan's safety and advance towards that
place. He had gone back to chihuahua, and
there again took up his line Of march towards
saltillo. Lieut.. AIKEN left saltillO on the 18th
ult. Before his departure he learned from Cen
Wool himself that Col, Doniphan was no doubt
at Parras, and in a dayor two would be in.
The Rinconada Pass is garrlsoned by three
companies Of Col COrtis's Ohio volunteers.
A correspondent Of the Picayune, writing
from Saltillo, says;
The health Of the city is good, although
there are a good many cases of chills and To-
yer among sons Of the regiments Of volun'
teers in camp at Buena Vista, and some few
cases Of small pox in the city.
With regard to the volunteer regiments now
occupying this quarter, whose term Of service

position to volunteer for the remainder Of thu

the assurance that such would be the
case, | am told that not more than four or five
could be raised out Of all the forces
The movements of this division Of the
army must depend in a great measure, upon
Gen. Scott's successes, and until authentic in
formation can be received of them there is no
telling what will be done.
Henry McCulloch arrived in Monterey a few
days before l left, with FIVE companies Of Tex
an Rangers, in obedience to Col. Curtis's call
at the time Of the great stampede. a young
man named Morris Simmons, one of the Tex
an Rangers, while riding in advance OF a train
going from Monterey to Camargc, with 9 few
companions, was fred upon by a party Of Mex
leans near Seralvo, and shot in the thigh. He
fell from his horse, and as the Mexican who
shot him came out Of the chapatral to rob him
he shot him dead with his FIVE shooter. The
rest of the party fed, and the account we have
received states that Simmons companions
were carried out Of reach by their horses be-
coming u~nmanageable. His leg was amputat
ed, but no hopes are entertained of his recoye'
ry. This young man, in company with Q com
p@anion, ran the gauntlet Of %lancers from Sal
tiTlO to Rinconada, carrying the order for Gen
Marshall to march on with his two heavy pie
ces Of ordnance.

Morning of Life.

without touching the curb Of discretion, or
pulling harder than a tit-mouse upon the strong
rein Of judgment. Oh, at twenty you are per-
feet locomotives, going it at the rate Of sixty
miles an hour; your heart is the boiler-lOve
is the steam, which you sometimes blow of
in sighs-and hope, fear, and jealousy are the
train that you drag. AT this season Of life,
you are filed with the exhilarating gas Of TO-
nance; every thing to you looks romantic by

take blazing hair, and pull them into theil
right courses-sit upon the highest peak Of

The spider and the Elv.

Few things resemble each other more in ma
ture than an old cunnin' lawyer and a spider.
He weaves his web in a corner, with no light
behind to show the thread Of his net, hut in a
shade like, and there he waits in a dark office
to receive his %visiters. A buzzin', burrin',
thoughtless Fly, thinking Of nothing but bis
beautiful wings and well-made legs, and rather
near-sighted withal, comes stumbling heels
over head into the net.

gallus purlite. Il guess it's all my fault; !

but pray dom, move or you may DO damage;
allow me to assist you.' And then he ties one
leg, and then the other, and furls up both his
wings, and has him fast as Gibraiter.
Now says the spider, my good friend, "a

From tie Nsp Orleans Reayuae.
very lac fIOm DE City Of MexicO.


By the way of Tampico, we are placed IN
possession Of a file Of El RepubhcanO from the
city Of Mexico down. to and including the 10Th
of May-eleven days later than our previous
advices.
The election Of President for Mexico was
to have taken place ON the 18th OF May. As
the election was made by the Legislatures OF
the different States, it is even yet quite too
soon to know the result, which is likely to dis
appoint all expectations.
The Repubicano Of the 10th announces that
Gen. Santa Anna had left the command OF the
Army of the East to assume the duties OF Pre-
sident OF the Republic. He was to make his
entry into the capital the evening of the 18th.
He had issued o manifesto to the nation, but
we regret that we have no copy of it. 1t was
to be published in El Republican, Of the Goth,
which is a day later than we have received.
El Republican, Of the 10Th announces that
Gen. Bravo has proposed to the Supreme Gov
eminent that the American prisoners should
be sent off "successively, and with due securi-
rity" to Tampico to be released, inasmuch as
Mexican prisoners taken at the Angostura and
Cerro Gordo had been released without condi-
ton. This is the first mention Of those untor-
tunate prisoners which we recollect to have
, seen in the Mexican papers.
The same number Of this paper announces
that Congress had completed its work of form
: ing a constitution and congratulates the coun'
e try upon the termination of the great work
g The constitution is described as not so much
r novelty and an innovation as a modification
and improvement of the old constitution o
$ 1924.
t, The Republicano Of the 18th tells US that tn
e Mexicans were fortifying the hills or ridges Q
y Loreto, Guadalupe, and San Juan, and that a
y advanced division of Mexicans had bee
pushed as far as Rio Prieto, four leagues Yves
y of Puebla.
t. The departure Of Gen. Valencia from tn
capital at the head of 5000 of the Nationa
1t Guards, to unite his forces with Santa Anna
: troops, was daily expected, but had not take
re place at last accounts.
ID Our Pacific squadron is busy upon the wei
ID tern ports Of Mexico. On the 28th OF April

al The Mexicans believe that the property sci
a ed by Gems. Urea and Romero, on the ron
from Camargo to Monterey was worth ov
an 100000, but in the hands of their comm
as, sioners it brought less than 10000. The %
