lie was accompanied hume by Lieutenant
J. B. Kersllaw, and by Sergeant Zack
Cantey, as far as New Orleans-the latter
gentleman having been discharged on ac-
count orbad health. Captain Kennedy,
reports the Palmetto Regiment, as being
in ordinary health, though he remarked
that deaths were consIaally occurring every
few days, amongst the volunteers. He
speaks of Pueblo, as most delightful re-
gion, with fine water, and plenty OF sup.
plies. lie says he left the troops all quar-

1t is agreed on all hands that Colonel
Mcintosh acled badly. I.ieutenand Wal

those unfortunate uni forms, ofthe Palmetto
Regiment, which have met with so many
accidents by food and field. Three cases
oftlese were in one ofthe captured wagons.

The New Orleans mail yesterday did
